[Q] SetCPU Superuser Permissions - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

So I'm on a visionary temp root, overclocked with setcpu. Ive set up several different profiles but I've noticed that my battery life with the profiles isnt as good as other users have claimed.
I have noticed that when i open setcpu sometimes a little message will flash up saying that setcpu has been given superuser permissions. Does this mean that prior to opening the program, it didnt have permissions? If it in fact did not have superuser permissions, could that be why my battery life is less than expected? (i.e. The program didnt have permissions and thus couldnt use the profiles to slow down cpu speed upon screen off, etc.) The message does not come up every time I open setcpu, but it seems to come up when I havent opened the app recently.
Any ideas?

From my understanding, you only set it once. i had set a widget because i thought set cpu had to be running. But i deleted it because if you think about it....superuser app already has the permissions set, and when you open setcpu it shows the current speed.....if it wasnt working it would show 800mhz then KICK into 1 ghz?....thats what i think. You shouldnt need to worry.

Great, thanks for the response.

same here. from time to time this popup comes.
anyway i cannot see any benefit from running setcpu as the profiles are not working for me.
i tried setting up screen off profile. this never triggers.
i leave setcpu deinstalled now. battery life is good so far

Good question. Can't find anything in logcat.

set notifications.
on the magic you could see him switching profiles right after turning on the screen
you wont see it on the g2

I agree, something is fishy with this. EVERY time I open setcpu it gives me the su permissions granted window like its not being saved in memory

EDIT: After shopping around on the market I came across an app called "CPU Tuner". The UI is nice and has roughly the same customization as setcpu if not more. It does take a bit of getting used too but i'm more than willing since the profile notification actually cycles with this app vs. setcpu. I'll give it a shakedown tomorrow as it's getting too late here to test.

cpu tuner doesn't work for me.
in profiles, it just shows 700mhz to 800mhz, which makes it useless as i want to underclock to 200 when screen is off.

That toast pop-up is nothing to worry about, its just something that has featured in the last couple of SU builds, it doesn't mean your app is not working.
I just turn the notification off in the SU settings.

I can now confirm that the screen off profile is not working correctly. Before going to sleep last night, my phone had a charge of 99%. I did not have anything running (no wifi, bluetooth, sync, etc.) and I woke up to 81% battery. It never killed that much overnight before overclocking. We gotta get this fixed.

i have mine set to 1ghz max 245 min profile screen off 245/245 priority--100..and put a widget on my main screen. My phone has been on screen off for the pat 5 hours....and drained only 2% battery life.....i dont understand why it doesnt work with some peoples phones??!!. is it different cause im using a desire z and yours a g2?...i HARDLY doubt that would be a problem :S..
have you tried the widget?.when going to running services, my setcpu app has been running for ever. aka profiles and setcpu working.

Running the setcpu widget on my phone caused instability issues at higher clocks (feeling ballzy w/ flippy's 1.8 kernel). After removing the widget my profiles were hit and miss for some reason.
As far as the battery issue goes, anyone running CM RC2 and earlier might want to check out nightly 36, apparently there was a memory leak causing battery drainage ( I don't know anything about what it means but common sense leads me to believe a leak is bad lol). If anyone is still not satisfied with setcpu I highly recommend CPU tuner.

Yes I have the widget on my homescreen. Weird that so many people get different results

Could the scaling be giving people varying results? I don't even really know what they do, I have mine set on ondemand. Would someone mind sharing what exactly the different scalings do?

Centered around the OG Droid but basic concepts still stand.
- Just picked up an app called SuperPower, had it a while back and had issues..but it's been update a lot since then. Looks like it's an all purpose battery management app that has the ability to govern cpu speed also. I'll test drive it and see how it works.

My battery life has improved markedly since installing CM nightly #36 and Pershoot's latest kernel. I've been using my phone pretty heavily over the last 8hours and still have over 50% left. Lots of texts, emails and websurfing etc.

[Q] CM6.1 wake issue

So i just swiched from virtouos ROM (sense) to CM6.1 and i am having a problem.
when i first flashed virtouos, sometimes my phone screen wouldnt turn on with
first attempt but after setting profiles on setCPU it was fixed and didnt happen anymore now with CM6.1 i am having a slightly different problem the screen doesnt turn on when i am receiving a call (it rings though) and i have to press the power button couple of times to get the screen on. i have already set some profiles on setCPU ,i am just wondering if there is any fix for it ?
Thanks
Only thing anyone can probably suggest is turning up your min clock speed. What are your profiles set to?
My screen off is 245/368 just to give it that bit extra to guarantee no wakeup issues, not that I had any to begin with, better safe than wanting to throw her up the wall (I get annoyed easy).

Doesn't sound normal... did you make ANY customizations at all? Or did you install CM straight up and just use it like that? Any adjustment to "performance settings" or CPU clocking? What SPL and radio do you have installed?

no i didnt make any customization its just CM6.1 although my max clock speed is at 1497 mhz
setCPU
Screen off max 368
min 245
and profiles for temp and battery as well
the wierd thing is it doesnt happen at all when im just waking the phone up it only happens when its ringing i am thinking its my CPU issue ,i dont think it handles overclocking well ,i couldnt go over 1.1ghz (it would freeze instantly) with virouos that was the main reason i switched im gonna play with with cpu profiles for a while and see if i can get it fixed.
btw i have never flashed any radio so im guessing its the stock one
wow this is very intreasting its actually fine without any setCPU profiles
i had something totally different in my mind.

SetCPU Gingerbread

Is anyone using SetCPU with gingerbread?
I'm using GingerVillain 1.5 but I can't seem to find the right profiles with SetCPU.
Oc'd @ 1,2 Ghz without profiles.
Because when I use the screen off profile, my screen sometimes won't turn on.
Screen off - min 245 max 1200
Can someone help me finding the right profiles?
Share your user experience.
In my experience and many others too, the profiles are not needed. The only profile you should ever need is a temperature profile and that's only if you really have it cranked up.
Having a screen off profile is always bad since switching to another profile doesn't happen instantly - there are polling intervals involved and until the next cycle runs your phone will still be using the screen off profile. That makes the phone slow which causes SetCPU to take longer in switching profiles, bogs down the cpu and it becomes a vicious cycle for a few seconds (sometimes a couple minutes). All the while it's draing your battery because the cpu has to work harder. Even regular profiles eat the battery due to the constant querying of the systems status and processing power used for that - which is the main reason you'll hear people whining about their battery life (some aren't effected as much).
Profiles are just not a good idea except for a temp profile for those that oc to the higher GHz (probably 1.4+).
You could try using cpu tuner instead. Gives you way more options.
CM 7
You have a lot of options with cpu tuner.
What triggers and/or profiles do you use?
My screen on/off has been working fine with CM7 nightlies before and after the RC1. I've been using SetCPU with a normal profile of 1017max/245min and a screen off profile of 365max/245min.
I think your issue is with overclocking. Idk about Gingervillain but as far as CM7 goes lots of people are having issues with the on/off animations and wakelock issues when overclocked over 1ghz. Try using your profiles and clocking at or under 1ghz and see how things change.
Not sure why anyone would really need a higher clock than 1ghz but what do I know. I dont see any slowdowns at 1017mhz and I feel that anything faster than that would lead to heat or battery issues?
Yes, screen off profiles work. But they drain your battery faster than if you have no profiles.

thanks bro, i OC'd to 1017 and there are no issues

I'm not so sure about this. Have you tested this at all? Starting using screen off profiles of 365max/245min have really increased my battery life, especially when my phone sits idle for a decent amount of time. I don't think you could see more battery life by leaving the clock at 1ghz while the screen is off.

Every kernel that I know of out there drops down the clock cycle when the screen times out. The reason not having the screen off profile saves the battery is because SetCPU isn't constantly sending requests about the phones state and then checking that against your profiles to see if it meets the parameters set in them.
Now it could be a bit different for you. You might have a different set up or different apps that make having a screen off profile useful (ones that constantly update or run in some way). You just have to watch your phone for a few days and get an app that keeps track of that stuff so you know which route to take.

This is very true. It is definitely hard to make a blanket statement because no two people have the exact same setup. All I was saying is what I've been doin with the screen off animation and I've been having pretty solid battery numbers.

[Q] SetCPU and battery life - am I doing this right?

I'm looking to optimize my battery life without sacrificing performance when I need it. I know it sounds easier said than done, but I figure that if anyone might know how, they'd be here. My goal here is to have the performance when I need it, and to keep the battery preserved when I don't.
I'm rooted and running ViperROM 4.0.4 Trinity v2.0. I have the "Genocide 1.2GhzOC EB13 Kernel v0.3a" kernel also flashed to my phone. SetCPU is installed and I've set up my profiles, but I think I may be doing something wrong with them.
I am using autodetect settings as is recommended for adjusting clockspeed. Everything is set to on boot. All profiles are set to conservative as I'm not sure which ones actually apply. Below are screens for everything I have currently set up.

Am I doing anything wrong here? And if not, is there anything I need to do to improve battery life without sacrificing performance?
I would bump your charging max to 1200Mhz and keep the min at 1000Mhz, although I keep max and min while charging through AC power at 1200Mhz.
Your screen off profile is fine. If you get hiccups or missed calls for any reason, bump the max up to 400Mhz.
If you can run it smoothly, set your minimums for your battery profiles to 100Mhz. It what I'm at now and it runs fine. You may want to keep your minimum for your "screen off" profile at 200Mhz if you get hiccups or missed calls like I mentioned before.
As for your battery <50% profile, I'd set the min at 200Mhz if you're wanting to save battery. Don't want the phone running at a higher clock when it doesn't need it. That's the point of running the min lower.
I personally uncheck the "set on boot" to allow SetCPU to always come back to the appropriate profile rather than going back to the default setting.
Also, set a Battery < 101% profile which will be your new default. I have mine at max 1000Mhz and min 100Mhz and it works well.
Also, conservative simply means the battery will remain at the lowest possible clock until it needs more juice. Assuming it starts at 200Mhz, it'll bump up to 400Mhz, 800Mhz, etc. depending on what the demand is. It will jump frequencies from 200Mhz to 1000Mhz if necessary.
On Demand means the CPU will either be at your minimum set clock frequency or your maximum.
On Demand is usually the most compatible/stable, but the conservative setting is best for battery/performance if your kernel allows it.
Hope this helps =). Let us know if you have more questions.
EDIT: The "set on boot" button simply sets the min and max that's shown on the main screen in SetCPU. If this button is unchecked but the "enable" button on the profiles menu is checked, your profiles will still adjust accordingly.
I can't really see the profiles but do you have the Max set at 400 when the battery is under 50%? If you do your phone will crawl. The 1000 is undervolted. That way you get speed and save battery. And on demand does not.mean that your CPU is either at min. Or Max. It means that it Scales faster then Conservative does. My profiles are when battery is less than 50% I go to 1000/100 and when screen is off I'm at 200/100 all set on demand. My regular setting.is 1200/100.

I'd like to hijack this since I have a similar question.
I'm using ACS Frozen 1.0 and have the latest SetCPU and am still getting pretty crummy battery life.
The weird thing is that in SetCPU the maximum CPU frequency is always 1.2ghz even if I drag the slider down to 1.0. I don't currently have any profiles enabled that would cause this, so why won't SetCPU let me top off a 1ghz undervolted instead of 1.2ghz?
My battery life definitely hasn't improved at that's a big bummer for me :\
I also have a question. I kept getting a message about superusers rights not being given. I searched to see how to grant SU rights, but could not fond any. I turned the phone off and on, and that message did not pop up anymore.
Now the main screen I cannot adjust any of the numbers, is this normal? I can however enable and make profiles. I made the first one if temp is greater then 0 (I obviously do not want it like this, but its just a test) then it should be OC to 1200. When I saved this in the top right hand corner it says I am at 1200, however when I bring up a program, and go to setcpu and look at the main screen it says 1000.
So what am I doing wrong.

Do you keep your 1200/100 on conservative? And what's the battery life you're getting on average? Dummy question but you know...
I'm going to try out this setting today actually with BakedSnack.
Referring to those of you getting "crummy" battery life. The screen takes so much battery many other things don't come into play. Therefore, if you're getting 4-6 hours of screen-on time, you're getting about what everyone else is getting. Those who report 30 hours+ probably have there phone idle more often than not.

SetCPU widget stops updating?

As the titles states, I use the SetCPU widget and find that it stops updating after a while (after which, I'll have to remove and re-add). Is there a fix for this?
That has been happening to me and I haven't found a fix. I just stopped using it. It's a shame too because I used it a lot for checking the temperature, making sure I wasn't running too hot.
Maybe you can try reflashing the kernel.

did it on every rom even stock i have used. i stopped using setcpu, it caused more problems than good
confirmed here too, the widget stops working for me after it's been on charge for like an hour. The status bar/notification bar icon works though (but no temperature)
its the app and the widget itself, for the longest time i had this problem when i was using my n1 and running cm6 and not only that, when i had it set to a certain freq. i go back into the app and it would say its clocked at 800 max, but i had it set to 110, i would have to adjust the freq bar to set it back to that.. i email the dev bout it all he said it was not set on boot, which i replied thats no the issue on hand as the phone has been booted up for awhile, and i manually set my OC, i never got a reply back after, so i check set on boot, and after bout an hour.. i go to setcpu and same issue
my target is set at 110 but its saying its maxed at 800, this also set on performance to always be on that OC, i told the dev again. and still no response so i gave up on setcpu, and glad the Cyanogen made built in cpu govnor
Its the widgets, my data signal widget takes a crap and freezes too. Setcpu works fine even when the widget freezes

If running cm7 just use the built in settings. I used setcpu with off screen prifles being slower and others but it actually made my phone run like crap. Battery life has been generally the same without using setcpu so I killed it. If u are running cm7 I wouldn't bother with it.

[Q] Trinity Kernel settings

I reflashed stock JB kernel the other day and found my phone to be running very smoothly. But I can't stand the colours on my purply screen, so back to Trinity (latest stable release).
The problem is, I'm getting a lot of lag and jerkiness on Trinity. Google Now takes forever to load, responsiveness takes a hit, and it generally feels like that whole "Project Butter" has turned into cold chunks of margarine.
I did buy the Trinity app to change settings. Is there anything I should be doing with Trinity that would give me stock-like smoothness and performance? I have a feeling there is some default setting in Trinity that is supposed to be helpful for some users but for me it's just killing the experience.
Or alternately, would I get better results with Franco?
I had similar issues. Not flowing very well , reboots and crashes. Also even though I bought the trinity app changing the clock speeds made the phone very very unresponsive. Tried many times to install it but no luck. Swapped back to Franco / glados (tried air kernel which was nice for battery but a bit laggy)
Franco also has trinity settings you can play with

Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Trinity Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
Personally I've had ridiculously good results with Trinity - with 384 GPU, not 512 (1536-384-Stable35). Absolute butter even when I have very resource heavy, multiple, tasks running - and havn't had a forced reboot, freeze or anything of the sort even once. Interactive/SIO, min 307, max 1190. Everything else on default (except screen colours/gamma which I changed to my liking).
That said, if the 384 GPU is also not working for you I suppose you can give Franco or the other kernels a try, every phone set probably responds a little differently to each kernel.

try using supersu instead of superuser. also, update your busybox. a lot of people have issues with root apps obtaining su slowly with superuser on jelly bean, which leads to lag.
I have good flow with trinity kernels. No lag or unresponsivness

Already doing both, thanks for the input.
I'm using 1344/307 and I also previously tried 1536/384. My phone seems to have some overheating issues so I don't want to crank it too hard... Just want to get close to stock performance.
I'll try interactive / sio. Are those essentially what the stock kernel uses?

i like ondemand/deadline. overheating.. whats your cpu temperature? most think that their devices are overheating when it falls in the normal range. tkt comes with widgets(in the app drawer widget menu), put the no background cpu temp widget on your homescreen and youll also get a cpu temperature reading in your status bar. at 100C the thermal throttle will kick in to lower your cpu speed and cool down your device. the safety shutdown temperature is 110C, your cpu will automatically shut down at that point. 110C is only reachable if you turn off the thermal throttle in the tkt app and you are benching your phone at a high oc. otherwise, i wouldnt worry about overheating.
The other thing is I get lockups every day or three. Today I rebooted the phone and plugged in the charger while it was rebooting. The moment the screen went off the phone was locked up. Power button would not respond. Unplugging/plugging the charger did not light up the screen. Had to do a battery pull.
In fact this happened again a second time in a row. Is there a reason the phone is locking up immediately after boot if I have the charger in? I'm trying it again a third time with the charger out, letting the screen auto-sleep before I touch the phone. Okay apparently it has nothing to do with the charger.
EVERY time I start the phone up now, if I don't unlock the screen myself before it auto-sleeps, the phone locks up and auto-reboots again. WTF??

are you undervolting at all? which yrinity kernel are you using? did you happen to use franco kernel before using trinity? try using a different charger too, ive had similar issues with a certain charger before too, until i started using a different charger.
Despite the fact that I disabled "Set On Boot" in Trinity Kernel Toolbox, it does seem I'm still set to interactive/sio on boot. And check out the logcat I captured over USB when I was doing a reboot and it locked up:
http://pastebin.com/sSe9eFXT
In particular to trim out just the TKT lines and the last few lines before lockup:
Code:
D/TKTBootHelper( 1853): TKT: Boot Completed
D/TKTBootHelper( 1853): TKT: Set file permissions.
V/LockPatternKeyguardView( 299): Set visibility on com.android.internal.policy.

D/TKTBootHelper( 1853): Previous Version: 3.0.38-04149-g1d1c555-dirt00:23:38|
D/TKTBootHelper( 1853): TKT: Versions match, let's restore settings.
E/vpnapi ( 1672): Function: Connect File: AndroidIPCSocket.cpp Line: 172 failed

Function: AndroidIPCSocket::Connect Return Code: -26476533 (0xFE6C000B) Descrip
tion: ANDROIDIPCSOCKET_ERROR_CONNECT_FAILED
So it would seem that right after TKT says "let's restore settings" it locks up, if the screen is off, when set to interactive/sio. Huh?

See my post immediately after yours.
No undervolting at least that I know of. I tried cranking max screen off frequency up in case that was the cause, and tried going back to default CPU settings. Still does the same upon reboot.
But I can confirm that if I uninstall TKT completely and boot with Trinity Kernel, there is no screen-off lockup. Whatever settings were being restored by TKT were causing the phone to freeze if the screen was off. I'll leave it at that for now and give it another go when it's not so lovely and sunny outside.

delete the data for the tkt app(main phone settings, apps). dont use set on boot, its usually not a good idea. my screen off is set to 307. if you are overclocking, you have to disable smart reflex mpu or you will freeze and reboot if not other issues. turning off smart reflex is very important if raising the cpu speed. otherwise the device will try to automatically set the voltage too low for the cpu speed and itll cause freezes/reboots.

I didn't overclock and I didn't undervolt. What is smart reflex?
Set on boot was DISABLED, let me emphasize. Yet the logcat shows TKT restoring settings, followed up very soon with a lockup.

does your rom have its own cpu settings? maybe theres something enabled in there?

smart reflex is a built into stock, it controls your voltages. the thing about it is that it doesnt know overclock or undervolting, so if you overclock or undervolt, it restores voltages for stock cpu speeds. which causes freezes if youre trying to overclock by setting the voltages too low.

Stock yakju Jellybean flashed straight from Google image files, with the exception of Trinity.

did you try clearing the tkt data, or uninstalling it and reinstalling it? honestly, this is the first time ive seen this behavior. do you have any other cpu control apps installed?

Yes, set on boot is for critical settings only, like frequency policy and voltages.
All trivial settings are always restored as they were set.
What ROM are you on? I jumped into the middle of this page and missed it.
Side note, if it's settings being restored, clear the app data using the option in the menu.

No I do not. I will try reinstalling now since I uninstalled it completely.

Again, pure stock flashed straight from Google, except for Trinity.
