The hero seems to ignore changed CPU speed or simply resetting it to default value immediately. At least it does on my Modaco and also on my coworkers HTC Magic running Hero-based ROMs.
Does anyone know why? Is it in the custom ROM, the kernel or some HTC modification to the android build?
I would like to see if you could save some batterylife by lowering CPU Max while screen is off and see how low you can go and still use Spotify and other apps without issues.
1. how do you set cpu frequency?
2. with the program set-cpu (or something like that) it is at the moment not possible..
I'm aware that it is not possible hence my question if anyone knows why so we can try to find a solution. Same goes for brightness which also resets immediately. Is this kernel, modified android or what?

I have made a user.conf file that runs hero at full and addd to my roms, Ithink modaco has a user.conf file also
you might want to download setspu! work like a charm!

not the kernel its in the build.prop for screen settings, also the user.conf plays a big roll!

I've tried both Overclocker Widget and SetCPU and both give same results. They seem to be able to change the settings but they are immediately reset to default values.
Using SetCPU if i change max to something like 480 and set it it looks like it works but hitting refresh it shows that CPU is running at 528 and that max setting is still 528. Issue was the same with Modaco V2.1 and DDR V2.0 and also on a coworkers HTC Magic running some Hero-based ROM (possibly based on Modaco he was not sure)
Also if you try to change the screen brightness using any tool makes the screen change brightness for a moment and then autosets to whatever value the Hero seems to think is appropriate (light sensor?)
Could you try using SetCPU to lower the CPU max and hit refresh to verify it has not been reset to 528?
user.conf location
Where to I have to put the user.conf in the filesystem on a rooted Hero with stock ROM ?
Thanks,
Guys,
I am using setcpu and able to set my max cpu to 528 and min to 480. I am running MCR 2.8 ...

528 Max and 480 Min is default on the Hero. The question is if you can set it LOWER to save battery like if you have apps running that won't let it go to sleep.
hi drizzy could you tell me how to make a user.conf file to make hero run at full 528 speed all the time and how to place it onto my hero.
thankyou

Check out the rooting guides, you should be able to type it pretty much as it says (starting with "echo") on one line and that should do it once you're at the root shell (#)

would you be so kind to share it with us? i have no idea how it should look like, and there is not really information about it on the devs homepage... i would appreciate it.
If you recompile a kernel with "performance" governor as default, you'll run at full all the time.

I see people report that new rom is fast in graphics and slow in cpu response but for some reason i'am getting oppposing results
I am using this rom now... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361368
Reading through 3-4 messages is slugish and its not smooth and angry birds thend to lag.When i was using older jakintaru rom(salsa port) my phone was flying and games where smooth.Anyone have any idea what can i do to make it better?(any tweaks,tried clearing caches)Tnank you in advance
When I referred to faster graphics and slower CPU scores I was referring to the stock RUU of that release.
Rather than Jikantaru's release I installed the stock and let it upgrade my radio, hboot etc.
I have no Supercharger V6 or kernal scripts on it.
I used Link2SD rather than App to SD and any widget app or app that needs good priority on boot, like Set CPU, Battery Monitor Pro, Superuser, etc, I leave on Internal and don't make links to the second EXT2 partition.
Boots nice and fast then and becomes responsive sooner.
I also use Rom Toolbox Pro and define the various startup apps, freeze out system apps that I don't need and leave widgets unloaded that I don't need.
I also make use of the default memory tweak from RTP and the SD card read speed tweak.
I use Green Power for battery and wifi management as well. Works well.
All in all it has allowed me to install 400 MB of apps and I still have 50 MB of internal memory free, plenty of system memory free at all times for things like in memory processing of camera filters, etc, and a responsive, fast booting system.

OK, sorry about my manner but there are lots of people just thinking that the other members are supposed to sort the info for them and I was a little bit nervous after I read some other threads.
We all have to help each other not only with knowledge but with time spending too, I hope the people will become more principle and will request things just after they tried (no matter if they are sure) to find the info themselves.

I'm using the stock RUU 2.3.5 release and it's much faster, graphics and all.

Agreed. It's what I've been running on and I've tried every rom on here over the last month.
Off to play with the Salsa Euro 101 with the OC kernel mod and remove Data2SD in exchange for Link2SD.
I would love the Stock RUU 2.3.5 with an overclockable kernel. Nothing else fancy except the ability to have min 19mhz max 806 mhz.
Yeah,i will now install stock and wait for the overclocked kernel and i hope we can then stop flashing our phones every few daysFor now i think we can use that stock 2.3.5 with supercharger scripts couse they do verry nice(lag fix) in my pnone
After installing official rom and some testing i can also confirm that this rom is fastest i have ever triedIt works verry nice,smoth and graphics is great,cheers
Im sorry to bother with this, its probably been asked many times, but after navigating through hundreds of pages I find myself even more lost than when I started. I installed Mimicry 1.5.0 rom a while ago after reading that it overclocks to 1.2ghz on boot thinking I wouldnt need any other tweaking for playing games but recently I've installed a few that dont work any well, like Frozen Synapse, Real Racing 2 and emulator Mupen64.
Could anybody tell me if there is any way I can increase gaming experience with this rom and how? For now the only thing I've done is install SDBooster which Im not even sure its helping. Thanks in advance.

overclock cpu to 1.5 ghz with:

I can play minion rush almost flawless.
Thanks! I've tried changing th clock to 1.5 in the performance settings of Mimicry's rom but when I try to play a game it freezes completely and I have to remove the battery to restart the phone. I'll try that app to see is it runs more stable and I'll post the result later.

Did you enable v6 supercharger? I found that to lagg the vision
I dont know how you enable or disable V6 supercharger, where is the option?
I've been testing tha No-Frills CPU Control and works a little better at 1.5 but still not good enough.
I also wanted to ask about the Memory management options, should I use zRam and enable "Allow purging of aasets" and "Kernel samepage merging"?
With mimicry its an option in the aroma install
Then Im pretty sure I chose it, probably because I read it worked great. Is there anyway to change it without having to reinstall the rom?
To disable androcharger (blk_jacks modded supercharger) just flash the aroma installer and choose to disable androcharger, this won't reflash the ROM unless you tell it to do so, just replaces the patched services.jar.
Or if you prefer you can manually replace it as well, just unzip the ROM and find the stock services.jar, boot to recovery and use adb to push it, then fix permissions and your good

stock rom is still the best.
always row back to stock after tried out those new roms.
u need to know w i8150 hw limits, even with swap n zram, still wont let u play ram hungry apps/games.

tried 4.4.2, no 3G, no over-the air radio, does not wait up when i plugin my headset, very hot when play games......etc,etc,
back to stock rom with some tweaks, faster n cool (never hot up), run with no bugs, never once fc (force close).

Thats just what i would say about my phone, too Stable, fast, ui that doesn't hurt my eyes badly (That's really important to me!), not noticed any f/c or (random) reboots yet, temperature is good during use. Of course mobile network works. I feel happy using it
To be fair i have to add that DarkCM 03/19 was first release without issues noticeable for me. All other versions had AT LEAST one bug: ProCapture camera didn't work as it should. May be i find issues while using it. we'll see
I used OneOfAKind Rom now, pretty stable but some apps are just slow and eat a lot of ram. I blamed the apps, not the ROM. You should try it.
I know Stock is great but I upgraded mine because some apps doesn't work on Gingerbread.

luv to share but .......many (cyberbullies) here didnt want it, want latest fads.

basic knowledge
rooted phone

i only use these two on stock rom, no other enhancements or tweaks.
attached r two files zipped:
1) build.prop.GB.Addon - copy all texts n paste to end of line build.prop, if u have duplicate, just remove the sentences.
(mount read/write b4 edit if u cant edit).
2) VMscript140309 file is a script, u can use script manager if u want but i preferred to copy n paste to etc/init.d.
remember must set permission, chmod rwx,r_x,r_x n chown root,shell, else it wont work.

edit 03/april:

i'm using this bottom portion, becoz the last entries will be log-in, replacing the first entries.
another concern is the read ahead for the rams/cards, it seem to speed up but when i tried use clockworkmod backup, the md5 is mismatched. backup is useless, if u have this problem, remove those read ahead sentences.

most games with installation files below 100mb runs good, board games will just fly thru.
those power n ram hungry games, i dun recommend play games with installation file above 100mb (hw limitations).
candy crush sage is quite power n ram hungry even its installation file is below 100mb, it runs without problem.
edit:
i played magic mania for more than an hour on GB, generated less heat than when i played candy crush saga on KitKat for less than 10 mins. :silly:
I'm looking at flashing my W too. It has GB still, but I modded it by CWM recovery, root and debrand plus stripped out un-needed bloat. What I want to do with it is flash it to possibly JB and run VIPERaudioFX and either Poweramp or Neutron audio player and mostly keep it as a smart music player for my car. I run a modded quad core phone as my main device now because it is a great multitasker and has a big screen for my failing eyes. The W is a nice, small size for a music front end though. So pocketable or fits nice in the centre console. I still have a thing about that phone despite it being old now. So, a modern and light OS is needed. Must be stable but it's not going to be a main phone. What are the recommendations?
If it's not practical, I will keep GB on it and see if I can slim it down further and if I can get a version of Viper that will work with it.
in general, i recommend stick with GB becoz its less buggy than the new android OS (ics/jb/kk).
if the app(s) cant run on GB, its becoz the app(s) need more RAM (hw limitations).
new OS have swap n zRAM which makes it laggy (in one way or the other).
I found it laggy on GB anyway. Removing Touchwiz and various Sammy apps after installing Legacy Launcher improved things. Also Smart Launcher2 Pro is nice. I'm actually running that one on my W200.
I was thinking getting rid of the Samsung account and extra software plus Keis etc would help things. strip out as much as possible without breaking it, do CWM backups before any major change, just in case.
I do know what you mean by the RAM, despite newer ROMs running well, they do need a lot of RAM. Minimal widgets, only the Gmail account etc will help.
I'll have a play with it. Mine is an i8150T, not an i8150, the Australian Vodafone version. Does the phone support 900MHz 3G in hardware? It's not accessible on my Vodafone ROM as they run 850MHz 3G. Maybe I could use a ROM meant for a different country. I did that with my Garmin Asus Nuvifone a50. Installed a Canadian ROM and got it working on 850 instead of the 900 it was supposed to be on as it was an Optus phone originally.

If thats the case do a trial and error method... If u had updated to the latest version of the ROM, there may be difference. You might had got the different experience in an older version of the ROM. Anyway, you are your own!! I cant provide any info more than this. I did tried the same, and i got similar experience and i tried with a custom kernel, i found the result, and understand that is the only reason i said so.. That was my humbe suggestion, you can take it or leave it!!
helped alot bro thankss
Try rom toolbox..... It forces the system to overclock the cpu......

in 4.1 stock when u selected the battery saving mode it used to under clock the processor to 800mhz but in 4.2 it doesn't under clock in battery saving mode. if u r extremely determined about under clocking the cpu then better switch to a custom rom bro.
After waiting for a looong time , I have concluded that there's no solution apart from custom kernels or roms.
Anyways , thanks to you guys for your support
I noticed my 5T was draining more battery after 5.1.2, all previous versions were fine.
CPU-Z and other monitoring tools cannot read the CPU load and the cpu 0/1/2/3 never goes below 518mhz, and CPU 4/5/6/7 never goes below 806 mhz. Someone is not right and chewing through battery... can anyone here confirm this for 5.1.2?

CPU-Z and other monitoring tools cannot read the CPU load and the cpu 0/1/2/3 never goes below 518mhz, and CPU 4/5/6/7 never goes below 806 mhz. Someone is not right and chewing through battery... can anyone here confirm this for 5.1.2?

Try flashing a custom kernel. If you're rooted with Magisk, flash the uninstaller first. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.4/Magisk-uninstaller-20180429.zip
I recommend SimpleGX Kernel v5.2, as it will lower your CPU frequencies to 300 MHz and it's pretty much flash and forget. https://mega.nz/#F!hLYX2aST!eGK6E2N-MOjJ5V5BwRgfuA!QKoAnJpL v5.2 is the last version listed in the folder.
Steps:
1. Flash kernel
2. Flash Magisk
3. Reboot

Thanks for the detailed guide Bud, but I was hoping for some confirmation from others and possibly a mainstream fix without going down the custom firmware path.

It is a mainstream change from CAF:

So this won't be "fixed" and it's not a bug. Anyway, you can always use a kernel manager app to set the min freq to whatever you want or you can edit the post_boot.sh back to 300000.
What is the easiest way to achieve this? is it possible without root?

Sorry. Without rooting your phone, there's nothing you can do. The stock kernel is set to those frequencies by default.
Interesting update: I flashed back to 5.1.1 and the drain issue is gone. The CPU usage is still 518 / 806 MHz but the battery drain is around 100-150 mA instead of 250'ish mA for 5.1.2
