Looking for a setting some of you made with your evos and setcpu.. something that will underclock when not using the phone ... or something.. I understand with the right settings .. setcpu can save a lot of battery power.. or am I wrong? Thanks

Yep! SetCPU will really improve your battery life.
The biggest thing is to enable "profiles" in the second tab and create a "screen off" profile and set it to the lowest settings you can (clock it up a bit from that if you're noticing lag when you first turn on your screen).
Other than that, I also keep a profile that clocks my processor down to 800 when my battery's below 15%. The settings on the first tab are your main settings. If no other profile's conditions are met, this one will be the one the phone uses. It's useful to turn the profile notifications on for a little bit to make sure all your profiles are working properly at first.
Thanks... but isn't there a much more in depth settings? Could of sworn I've seen a post with a bunch of settings... I just don't know how to do it

Yeah give me a sec. I'll post a screen shot. Are you looking to overclock?
You can also change the governor settings for all your profiles. For my main one I use "ondemand" but for the other ones I use "powersave."
Here's all my settings. If want more depth, there is a setcpu thread somewhere on here.

The answer's the same for the both: it requires a custom kernel.
If you do happen to have one installed, make sure setCPU is set to "autodetect." On the main screen hit the menu button and then click device selection, and then press "autodetect recommended speeds."
If you don't have a custom kernel....welllllll....that's a whole different dicussion.
I just have freshs rom and the radio for it... I set mine up like yours, except I don't have the names yours has for the profiles... is it worthless for me if I don't have a customer kernal? What do they do really? Will it hurt anything? Finally will I lose anything? Sorry for the questions, but you seem to know your stuff very well...

No no no, it's no where near worthless without a custom kernel. It'll do almost everything without one. It just won't give you as many governor settings (honestly not even that useful) and it won't give you the ability to overclock (idk how important that is to you). Custom kernels won't hurt anything or make you lose anything. Check the HTC Evo 4G Android Development section to find some good ones if you want. Make sure you get a kernel for SENSE roms though and not AOSP, or you might have some issues. And of course, nand backup before you try a different kernel. Also, this is just a sidenote...a lot of custom ROMs do automatically install custom kernels with the ROM, Fresh just chooses to include the stock kernel with the ROM. Like for me, while I've tried a few different kernels, but my current one is just the one that came with Cyanogen Mod.

Performance will just keep it at the highest clocked speed. It's not something you want unless you're benchmarking or something. Ondemand will clock it up as apps, etc need.
So I should do all of my profiles ondemand??

Nah. I probably confused you with my last post. All the governor options other than performance will scale the clock speed between your profile's min and max as the phone needs it. But "conservative" or "powersave" modes will tend to scale as little as they need to, whereas "ondemand" will scale enough + fast enough so that there's never any lag. So for like your screen off profile, etc, you'll want to go with "conservative" or "powersave"
OK guys.. Thanks for all your help so far..
I just got a kernel (custom)
Kings #11.
Here is what I have
Fresh's rom 3.3
The radio that came with it, same post..
And Kings #11 Kernel
I took 3 screen shots of my Setcpu settings.
I really want to get the most out of this program and make sure I have it all right..
Here are the screens
Looks good. One thing I'd do is change all your profiles except Charging/Full to "powersave" or "conservative" instead of ondemand.
Also, you'll get better battery life if you lower the min on your Charging/Full profile to 245. That way it'll scale it up as needed, instead of keeping it at 998.
Other than that, looks good. I think you can do some stuff with the advanced tab, but i honestly don't know what any of that means.
I have my MIN at 384 on the MAIN profile and the EVO just seemed to LAG at 245. is this OK??

That's fine man. To decrease lag when waking up though, you'll wanna up the Screen Off max.
Just did a complete wipe and reinstall.
Curious as I have not reinstalled setcpu..
HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK IT REALLY INCREASED YOUR BATTERY??
I am starting to feel all this stuff is so minimal, and more a placebo effect..
Setcpu,juice defender, plugging it in at this time, and taking the battery out.. blah blah blah.. Not saying there is not a difference but its so small and we all go through a good amount of work to get things right, we WANT believe the battery is lasting that much longer.

Can anyone help me out?
I'm running stock rooted 2.2 (deodexed) and flahsed over the 4.0 zip... and the scrolling is choppier than all hell. I re flashed the stock kernel, and it was back to being fine again. So, I tried again, with wiping the caches first, and still choppier than all get out when I flashed the kernel.
It's definitely the right kernel, but what the hell am I doing wrong here? Any help would be appreciated.
And, I'll even throw in 5-10 dollrs for someone who can give me an answer that works.
This could be because of the new settings he just changed. Try the download that is 4.0.2 and not 4.0.3, or try overclocking your processor to 1.2GHZ with OC widget or SetCPU.
What kind of screen do you have? If you have a Nova panel, you may need to adjust T2 values to get the best performance. Just my 2 cents.
Ok, so I installed 4.0.2, and it seems to be running better, but still some choppiness on the menu up and down scrolling when "all apps" is opened.
I have no idea how to use SetCPU (noob yep... graphics guy... not a tech guy_, so I took a screen:

I have a Nova, but, I have no idea what T2 panels are and how to adjust them. If you could point me to the right app or direction, that'd be awesome. I'll donate to you as well if it helps.
There's an app floating around here called NovaFreq formerly evoswitch. It allows you to change the panel frequency to improve fps. Everyone gets different results. 450ish was usually the best for me. Basically trial and error. Most haven't needed it with recent kernels though. As for setcpu, the higher the max frequency the better fps performance, but overclocking comes with some risks. Im usually underclocked at 576max / 245min. You can also set profiles to run certain speeds when screen off, charging, etc. Helps a lot with battery life. I would move your max down to 998 or 1113 and min to 245. Ondemand is usually a good scaling setting. Hope this helps.

Wow thanks. I downloaded nova frequency, but just left it at default, and changed the setcpu, bc I was getting random reboots with the overclock. I also set profiles to way lower when the screen is off and the phone is at lower battery percents.
This phone officially runs like it's on crack now. Good stuff.

LOL bro. Not only did I tell you to use NovaFreq, but I also told you not to use SetCPU. You were getting reboots b/c it was set too high and you don't want to set it below 245 when screen is off.

If you use Setcpu to set frequencies it also has a feature that does the same thing. Go to the info tab then select time in state. Tells you everything that app does and more.

Cm7 has a built in CPU setting.

I run min 128 Max 614, still speedy no reboots (unless I undervolt too much)
Also check out vipermod, it was designed around the tiamat kernel to allow you to change the voltages to your CPU. This also helps battery life!

I'm undervolted by 100 and I get get more and more battery life the longer I condition my battery. I'm also set at min 691 and max 921
The more that your phone spends time that it's switching clock speeds (drastic changes) seems like a waste of power.

Awesome, ill try that. is it best to reboot after applying the new settings?
If you just changed clock frequencies then no need to reboot as It's done on the fly. If you change voltages then you need to reboot. Vipermod is an excellent script. I have used it on sense kernels even though it wasn't made for them.
After looking closer at the vipermod script it doesn't say a reboot is required unless going back to factory defaults.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
@civicboy, no real need to reboot, make sure the settings don't cause your phone to reboot on its own before checking set at boot. Same goes for undervolting, and, you are more likely to get reboots with undervolting. I have seen peoples phones that wont accept any undervolting... be cautious... do it in 25mv increments to find what your phone can handle... have the reset file on your sdcard at all times. Sounds scary but its really not that bad once you figure it out.
Check back with your results or if you need more info.

Be sure to get vipers zip for reseting to default. This allows you to push the voltages and if you get boot looping you can just flash the reset from recovery.
And I gave you a "thanks" for actually thanking those that help out.

there is restore defaults .zip you can flash. Put it on your sd for safe keeping wherever you like and remember.

That's the file you need. Just put it on the root of the sdcard or wherever you know it's at and if you get into trouble going to crazy on voltages just flash it from recovery. It will reset your voltages back to defaults.
Morning guys. I think I've clogged up Agats kernel thread enough with this so figured I should hop on over here and ask about what's going on.
First of all a big thanks to the few kernel devs we have over here. I understand that we did just recently get source so I'm not blaming anyone for the issues I'm encountering.
All I've been trying to do these past few days is see how far I can max out this phones performance. I'm not concerned right now with battery life. I live in a God awful data/signal area... but since source has dropped I have noticed without even touching a single setting improvements in performance.
So all I've been trying to do these last few days is overclock to 1.4 and KEEP it at 1.4 while my screen is on. I've mostly been using Tegrak Ultimate and Voltage Control and staying at Performance gov. From what Voltage Control is telling me though is the majority of the time I'm stuck at 800 MHZ. Very rarely am I at 1.4 and not only that the phone is barley ever at 500MHZ or 200MHZ. I've tried overvolting up to +75 across the board but that hasn't changed anything. I've tried different Schedulers and have seen a little improvement using CFQ. I've kept my governor at Performance.
I've never really been a big overclock guy. This just started as me seeing how far I can push this phones performance without it melting in my hands. LOL. Now though I'm just trying to learn and or understand why 96% of the time I'm sitting at 800mhz.
Thanks in advance for any feedback and especially thanks to Sleshepic, Agat, and RJ for the work they've put into these source kernels.
I've included a number of screenies..... sorry they are kind of random but it's what I've been posting in Agats thread..... but it gives you the general idea of what I'm getting at.
Thanks.

what ROM are you running? it would seem like you have conflicting scripts running. like a script which is preventing you from using certian steps. And even capping you at 800MHZ.

I have been following you on the kernel thread. hell, Ive been using google this to see if i can come up with something. thats I have right now.

Well I'm not getting anywhere on this. A few days ago I was testing Manufan's Hooligan ROM(awesome ROM by the way) then did a fresh install over to Mijjah's Goodness ROM. I just asked in his thread and Rwilco12 said there isn't a script in the ROM. He thinks there may be some apps conflicting.
The only thing I have left to do is another fresh install. Judging by the lack of responses in this thread I may be the only one having this issue.
do you have multiple OC apps? like i had to delet Rom tool box when I started using voltage control. same way when I had tagraz. I beleive you can only have on OC app at a time as they will conflict by trying to gain control over the CPU.

Most use it that way, as for me i use to keep the high end freq set and to keep the cpu from cycling and wasting battery
Example.... i like to run at 800, i set to preformance so the phone will not cycle lower then 800 no matter what.

it might be small but little things add up ........instead of bouncing/cycling up and down from low to high freqs cause it is monitoring the processes/work load even when the phone is not in use. Performance takes the cycling/monitoring of the processes out of the equation and just sets the cpu at the high end.
its weird in set CPU it shows it going to 800mhz instead of staying at 1200mhz
Bug? Glitch?

It could be, I use "System Tuner Pro" and when I select "Performance" it stays at 800, since 800 is what I have my high end set at.
Btw I am running EL29 GB with Gunslinger so that is also something to consider.
Edit: I tried different high end freq on performance 1k/1.2k/1.4k and they all were setting and not fluxing to other fregs.

Thanks I knew there were some ICS overclock kernels , I am on GB so I dont look/have ICS stuff.

Try wiping the cache and dalvik before you try the kernels that g_ding stated.
agats or kuban should stick on performance if they still dont....I really dont know what to tell you any more to help.....

I always wipe twice
They stick to performance but they down clock to 800mhz not stay at 1200

I'm on voltage control. And both kernels show proper scaling and on performance I have it stick to 1200mhz. Do you have CPU spy?

You've been using SetCPU and now apparently System Tuner Pro. It's possible you may have EX Tweaks installed as well, ROM Toolbox Pro, or Tegrak.
The thing you want to remember, is that any and all of these utilities can set CPU performance and governors, so you want to be sure that if you are testing with any of them, that ALL of the others are disabled (at least the functions that would control CPU).
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it's not a kernel issue. You might have Stock, but it may have been modified or not compatible w/OC/UC. Try one of Agat's kernels with confirmed working overclock/underclock (0.4.4) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
I've been using that with SetCPU and it works well.
Oh - one last point -- do you have any Profiles set up in SetCPU? Because if you do, one of them might be overriding your Performance governor setting on the Main SetCPU screen.

i uninstalled set cpu before using system tuner
i have been using stock, kuban kernel and 4.0 to 4.4 of agats kernels all same issue
zero profiles
I'm getting quite frustrated with a persistent lag issue I've been carrying across all installs. I don't know how else to describe it other than a huge input lag. I press the power button, the phone takes 2 seconds to wake up....
I press a button on the screen - sometimes 3-4 seconds before the phone reacts.
I don't know how to isolate this problem because every time I do a clean install the problem isn't there, I have over 200 apps that I just back up from a TitaniumBackup that I carry over after wiping everything including userdata/sdcard... I'm not going through the whole "remove 1 app at a time".. I have over 200 man that's too time consuming!
There's got to be a better way to figure out what is hogging the CPU or GPU or whatever IO is getting mucked up to the point that its slowing my phone down. I haven't seen an impact in battery yet which is a tad confusing, but I'm not gonna complain about it..
Any help is much appreciated

Use app settings Running Apps tab.
What would I be looking for here?
This is all I have in there - no scrolling up or down. Nothing seems out of place?

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Then it isn't an app causing your lag. Or at least not one that's running.

Maybe a system UI change? I do have a lot of modded items like the center clock and such... Would these be problematic?
edit; just to try it out, I'm reverting all changes and rebooting - waiting for the phone to settle down now.
You didn't really provide any information other than what you were assuming it to be. What ROM, kernel, mods etc are you using?
Also, are you underclocking/undervolting the CPU? Might not be liking the settings

Well I was hoping for a way to diagnose the issue myself but I always welcome help as I'm at my wits end of diagnosing this problem right now lol
ROM: XenonHD Stable 2.0 JAN10 Release
Kernel: Both stock included in ROM and currently LeanKernel
Mods are mostly things from the ROM settings.. stuff like Signal text, battery text, centered clock, adding day of the week, shortcut by tapping on the time in notification bar
No external mods installed lately.

Unless the new daemon included in the ROM mentioned above is doing either of those - no. CPU scales up to 1200Mhz regularly when watching it in the performance tab
EDIT: I think I just found it... Something I must have installed is locking the CPU to 700Mhz, I just double checked to verify what I said and its not going over 700 even though the daemon is set to 1200...LOL!!!!

That'd be governor control. The hispeed frequency must've been 700.

How do I mess with this if possible? Im assuming kernel level tweaks?
I switched governor to interactiveX and I'm now seeing it jump to 920 and 1200 much more often... Seems a bit smoother but I'll have to wait and see if I get any hangs like I was before... wow I really hope it was that easy to fix lol, I just need to find the app that keeps messing w/ my CPU settings now >_>

Depends on the governor. You'll need an app like Francokernel updater.

Ok I had been using Trixter toolbox, I believe I saw settings for that while using this toolbox under another ROM
I'll have to read up on this HiSpeed thing you mentioned... It sounds like its setting a secondary artificial limit on CPU speed based on load settings similar to the way 'nice load' used to work? Its been a while since I've hit the wiki
Thank you guys very much for your help. After using it for a handful of minutes things are looking pretty damn good! Very much appreciated
After some time the lag came back even worse. I did some looking around on my own into possible hardware failures at that point and later found a possible issue with the emmc not running fstrim or just not trimming the flash memory correctly
I found an app called LagFix and ended up installing that and after a reboot it was like I had just erased everything on the phone (back to fast again).. I've been using it nice and quick for the past week now and I think that may have been the end-all issue as usually the lag would start to re-appear after a few days.
