Ok, I am suspicious of all things people post at first until its verified, but here is the link of someone who says its fact.
http://androidforums.com/all-things...clockwidget-insane-battery-life-40-hours.html
My question, is this legit and if so are there any potential pitfalls from setting the EVO like this?
Looks pretty interesting, hopefully some more people will test this out.
Is there a log to verify it is changing the CPU speed? I know there was something like that on the Pre, but it didn't always set the CPU speed down.
Testing
Just installed it. Will post my results in the next few days.
Did you use toast's method of rooting or unrevoked?

There is a notification option that tells you every time the CPU changes frequencies.
Which root method did you use?
I am also trying it out - I'll update you all in a couple days. I have it installed, it says that the frequency change was successful, so I guess we'll see...
Whats the app that tells him 21 HRS?
I am using toastch root with his froyo rom. Overclock widget doesn't officially support 2.2 yet, so my results might be worse than 2.1 stock. Worth a try anyways.
I might go ahead and install unrevoked on mine to try it. I am getting great battery life as it is now.
I believe that neither SetCPU or overclock widget will work properly unless you use a kernel with my patch.
WIthout the patches, what is the application actually doing if anything?

It's setting the speed... Then the speed reverts itself immediately because of HTC's modifications to the kernel.
Okay, I will not worry about using it then. I guess the phone just has that good of battery life.

hahah i got a pic of my hero on a 3days and some odd minutes off the charger.
So this app does help? Or does not? Using it I'm at 4 hours at 60%... Not much use, a few texts and a few phone calls, and like 3 webpages.
help a noob out?
Can anyone explain how one goes about installing this patch? And maybe use small words for us rookies?

ignore Nice load
Powersave bias
mine currently are 40000,70,0,0
i'm trying to find a good setting for best battery life b/c i'm constitenly on my phone all day!!!

generally speaking there are two types of people who are employees for phone companies:
A) someone who just wants a paycheck
B) geeks like us who like to hack and mod and tinker
A will tell you that hacking will void warranty, blah blah blah....mostly because they don't know much about what stuff is. B will tell you what they know, and admit when they don't know something.
it sounds like your friend is falling into the A category, especially if they're saying "mods don't change much". they change quite a bit, so be careful.
as far as your question in the OP, with my eris i would just mess with stuff, and see how the phone runs. don't save to run at boot until you know it's stable and will not crash or freeze your phone. adjust settings, and see how it responds, repeat as necessary.

Yes you have to disable perflock.
I only adjusted my power bias to 650 I think which is 65%. 1000 being 100% and 10 being 1%. All this does is make sure you cpu stays on the lower end of the usage. I have a 2150 and stream pandora a lot and always have 3g running, I go online and everything and I get 2 days of usage with a down clock and some profiles.

I've used other kernels with CM before and it works fine--if that's what your getting at...
As for battery stats, you should be able to do that from recovery. With clockwork mod, its under the 'advanced' menu.

Yeah its good to put min at 128, helps the screen off profile and with battery life. The max you can make whatever you want, but once you go higher than 1.113GHz then you start going into unstable territory IMO.

Just note that a few users have reported issues with the 128 setting. I haven't experienced any problems getting text messages or missed calls and I'm using this kernel with the 128 setting but just keep it in mind if for some reason you find yourself missing texts and/or calls.
and if you have.. how did you do it, and what results are you getting? how's it affected your Quadrant score?

Correct, kernel values need to be changed to alow it. But with unlocked bootloaders and root, custom kernels will be comming soon...
yup, i rooted it using gingerbreak.apk thingy. Gained superuser permissions etc but setcpu's values only reach 1024mhz...so i;m also assuming its not overclocking anything.
wait for custom kernels...
on similar QSD8255 devices ppl were able to reach 2Ghz!!!
so all will come in due time...
first we need to get custom Recovery working...
1st we all need a xRecovery working for ARC, without it, nothing can be customized.
Can anyone please tell me how long did it take to root 'arc' using gingerbreak.apk?
I have unlocked the bootloader successfully, downloaded gingerbreak.apk, copied it to sd card, started it, choosed 'Root' and it started like 15 minutes ago. I'm still having: 'Rooting... Running exploit... This may take few minutes...' message.
It took 45min to finish with an FC!

My Arc gets hot enough at stock speeds, I can't see OCing to 2GHz being a great idea...
What temp does yours normally run at??? mine seems to be cooler than my x10 was.. currently at 26degrees.
I couldn't say what the exact temperature is (how does one go about measuring it?), all I know is when I play games on it, it gets warm in the area surrounding the noise cancellation mic.
Not ridiculously so but warm enough that you can feel it when holding the phone.
How odd!!.. I could have sworn it I'd seen it in the "about phone" menu.. but it's not there.. anyhow.. I have "battery indicator" installed by darshan - gives me a percentage icon in the status bar, which when you drag the status bar down it tells you the temp of the battery too.
what's the normal speed before it was overclock to 1ghz?

Hi,
I've had my Archos G9 80 updated to the latest android official 4.0.5 from and since then i'm expriencing lots of crushes and freezes. I'm getting them randomly with no specific app working.
Also, i have tried to do full formats (Android + Data), and still having same issues.
Does anyone have any idea what else i can try?
Thanks.
I had lots of freezes too (not only with the latest firmware). They seem to be gone since I changed the CPU govenor from "hotplug" to "interactive". I'm not sure yet that it was the reason, but try it and let us know if it helps.

Yes, can this be done from the phone itself? Within the ROM?
You can set this in any tool that is intended for overclocking. I don't overclock, I only changed the Govenor.
I use "SetCPU". ("No-frills CPU Control" should do the same.)
So does this have any other effects on the phone?
RichWPX said:

Nothing too serious. Your CPU is clocked dynamically so it doesn't run full speed when there is nothing to compute(save energy). To my understanding the govenor is basically a policy to manage how quickly the frequency steps up/down on changing CPU load. So "powersave" is supposed to save energy but make the system a little less reactive than "interactive" Governor for example. I think I read somewhere "hotplug" deactivates the second core on low load situations, I suspect for some strange reason my device might have crashed sometimes on trying to wake up the sleeping second core. Well maybe I'm wrong, that's why I'm interested if it helps others.
I didn't notice any change in battery lifetime, mostly it's the display anyway that drains the battery. Everything is running well, battery lifetime is great too and no crash/freeze at all since i changed that setting and it crashed almost every damn day before, no matter if it was Honeycomb or ICS.
I downgraded the device to 4.0.4 and since then, no crushes.. I guess for some reason 4.0.5 isn't stable on my device.. ill stick with this version unroll they get another one out..
To downgrade, just install official update file of the version you want to upgrade to..

That seems to be my problem too. Setcpu requires root. is there a very easy way to do this, just to run this setcpu? There used to be a z4 tool, but can't seem to find it anymore.
Edit I see that I need superoneclick. Will temporary root suffice or will I need permanent root to change the governor setting.and keep it so.
Unfortunately all know temp root variants tend to brake things- im Honeycomb sound, in ICS 3d driver.
The only real option is to enable SDE and use custom firmware.
As for freezes- try reinstalling apps. Direct upgrade from Honeycomb does not work for all

I'm tired of people going onto his AOKP thread that he worked hard to build from SOURCE for us, and discouraging his ROM. It is pretty much perfect, I have not found a single flaw, other than what Team AOKP had in their source. "Battery sucks," "This is messed up," "fix this."
No.
This is an AOSP ROM. If you don't know how to use it (as said it is for ADVANCED users), get off of it or go back to iOS. If you use it right, you'll have the best experience possible with any ROM.
Read through the thread for problems and fixes. He pointed out several times how to fix the vsync, or in other words, screen tearing. Since people don't read, i'll go over it again here.
times_infinity said:
for tearing, go into the build.prop and remove hwui.disable_vsync=true and reboot.
Click to expand...

So this basically means, go into any File Explorer (preferably Root Explorer), go to root (/), go to system, turn on R/W, hold down and text edit build.prop, find the line quoted above under # ADDITIONAL BUILD PROPERTIES, change the true to false, or just delete the whole line. Easy fix for screen tearing.
Ok now to the battery part, which is what this thread was meant for. I commented into his thread before, which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29252372&postcount=3237
Use Power Saver to turn off data when you aren't using the phone and screen is off, with 20 second delay in case I'm just replying to a text. I can easily toggle it back on by sliding the navigation bar down for half a second.

Don't use 3rd party apps such as SetCPU or task killers (which believe it or not, tend to waste even more battery). What a waste of battery, when we have it built in.

Charge to 100. Take your battery out for 5 minutes, unplug phone. Put it back in, let it boot. Battery should be more stable.
If you have anymore, please feel free to comment. I will add them to the OP.
Take advantage of this marvelous ROM he has supplied to us. People really need to stop being inconsiderate and know what they're doing before complaining. This ROM is definitely fit for a Daily Driver, and should be used by anyone who loves tweaks, speed, and good battery life.

There have been scripts to do this which would be a lot better so maybe I can find them. Most CPU/task killers/battery savers work worse in the long run.
Ive noticed my battery has been slightly better "out of the box" over stock GB.
I'll see what comes of it over teh next few weeks.

I did flash a new kernel afterwards. Thanks for explaining that for me.
I've found that flashing PhAkEer's dietpill tweaks (found in the General Section) drastically improves battery life. Another thing I do is turn off haptic feedback. Right now I'm running CM9 but I've mostly ran AOKP since I've had ICS and battery had always been a problem. Little tweaks can help change battery life. The tips section on Team Epic's website is pretty good - most of those tips work on AOKP too. Battery section is at the bottom: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/customization-guide.html
Thanks for the tearing thing, that was really my only complaint, but I love aokp and it wasn't going to stop me from using it. Now its perfect .

I need to keep my wifi on because of travel and and work. At my usual hotel, whenever wifi disconnects from their hot spot, I have to sign in again. At work it's the same. I don't know any fix other than the hot spot remembering my MAC for a little longer.
If anyone had any ideas on how to get around this, I'd be grateful.
I get decent battery life out of the box, at least as good as my EVO on CM7, but I'll give the other tweaks a try, thanks.
I can say that on the latest Time's AOKP with a little undervolting the battery life is more then exceptional. I normally undervolted -50mv on each step. Wasn't enough to cause issues but was enough to add about an hour of screen time to my daily use.

I need to keep my wifi on because of travel and and work. At my usual hotel, whenever wifi disconnects from their hot spot, I have to sign in again. At work it's the same. I don't know any fix other than the hot spot remembering my MAC for a little longer.
If anyone had any ideas on how to get around this, I'd be grateful.
I get decent battery life out of the box, at least as good as my EVO on CM7, but I'll give the other tweaks a try, thanks.

When you aren't using it having it off helps, like on the road and use the toggle unless you're using hot spots. I've never used them because I'm on 3g so I'm not sure. I've never had a problem not remembering a connection, maybe that's something hotspot does.

Can't believe the negative comments, I would like to give a great big thank you for this useful post. Just one question, I can not find this option...System Settings→ ROM Control→ Performance→ Voltage Control. I made all the rest of the adjustments.

it is probably because you didn't flash a version of TI's aokp that has that built in or it's either because you flashed a different kernel afterwards that doesn't have that option baked in, thus removing it from ROM control

I do not see Voltage Control or the Smartass V2 governor.
Mod version: aokp_epic4gtouch_milestone-6
Kernel version: 3.0.15-g9d39731-dirty
I flashed a while back and honestly do not recall flashing anything other than the ROM from goo.im.
I think you may need to go the dev thread and get the latest version.

Yes, it's the stupid hotspot. They want to make sure you've accepted the user agreement, so they forget your MAC every time you disconnect. It's the same at Starbucks. I've been to my local shop hundreds of times and have to accept the user agreement every freakin time.

Smartass governor is on the newest Milestone 6 build, go reflash it just make sure to backup. I've never seen the kernel make settings not show up, it would just make it inoperable.

I've cleaned the BS posts in here. If you do not have anything to post constructive, then do not post at all. If you have anything negative to say, then move on without saying anything.
