[Q] Set CPU and underclock - how to? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I apologize in advance if this is the most noob question ever, but I'm coming from a DX and the mod options are slim.
I've been reading that many people set cpu and underclock to get better battery life. I've been trying to figure out how to do that and haven't been successful.
Can someone point me in the right direction?? Anything I can do to squeeze out more battery life would be great.

Looks like a good link.
I'd also recommend looking at the help that comes with set cpu. Iirc, it was pretty helpful when I was using it.

Is there a true battery savings for the hassle of setting all that up??

The savings seem to diminish as the number of profiles grow. If you keep it simple (say with just a screen off profile), then you'll probably realize some savings.

As for perflock, not really. I never have to use it. But there are a lot of tips and tricks, just what do you want to know exactly? And about to head out to get my tablet, so you can always pm me if you want/need to.

Display Brightness?

I am wanting to adjust my brightness on my phone even more than what my settings will let me. I can see the lowest brightness setting really well. ...and for battery saving purposes i want to know if there is any way to get it even lower than that. or anyway to keep the screen from hogging up so much battery.
thanks so much
Depends on the ROM you're using. AOKP and I believe CM10 let you set custom values for backlight levels.

it`s absolutely vital to the phone, is one of the main cores of the android system.. i cant recall exactly what is doing tho, but i remember that you cant disable, or anything like that.. from what i have read other ppls using different roms seem to have the same problem with netd eating up the cpu, and some of them said that it was somewhat related to some specific governors...so try to switch from whatever governor you are now to a different one and see if it helps
the thing is, that the lib isnt needed for gio/ace/mini/fit ...
Maybe the try to load it makes more ram consumption, but it can be easy disabled in source

How to disable it ? Because my gio was very smooth, and suddenly laggy after its appear with high cpu usage.
And what is the bad effect if we disable it ?

It has something to do with the wifi interface. I had netd-hangs everytime I had wifi & 3G on while no known wifi network was around me. Since I'm disabling wifi when I leave home, I didn't had any hangs anymore. Changing governor doesn't help, tested by myself.

Updated my baseband from XXKT7 to XXTKA to see if this would improve this odd behavior

BLN simple question, your thought?

Simple question: What are the effects of using BLN from the default settings in AOKP. Aside from the obvious battery drain, I'm wondering along the line of: Is this bad for the light, to turn on and off so many times. Or is it built to be able to handle such repeat use. Currently its set to 1 second on, and 8 seconds off. Would it hurt the back light more if i set it to 0.2 seconds on and 5 seconds off?
No ideas?

I've not read of any issues with the key lights. I've got my settings at 10secs on .5 off

That little light is not going to kill your battery. Heavy usage of watching porn might but guess it depends if it's good porn lol.

Its not the battery life I'm worried about. Its the lights themselves. Will the become damaged from such excessive use?

Is your question, can you leave this off? Or on?
You're taking about the setting in the Hidden Menu?
Someone else posted something about this, their name started with a"C" I believe.
Anyway, mine is turned off and has been since that other post. I don't really think it did much for my battery life.

If i can leave it on because i love my antutu score of 21000 and my brightness issue and my bateery life has been good i tether alot but the phone stays right around 102 im going to do a full bateery test with it today but i just wanna know is it gunna kill my phone having it on at all times

So here's the thread it was originally brought up on. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328478
I remember my issues with it. I'm outside a lot and the phone will autodim down to 67% making it unreadable in sunlight. When I used this setting, I worked great outside but the screen would do some weird things when I left it on all the time. But I think it was conflicting with the autobrightness. It probably does make your phone run hotter as the cpu and the display won't be using any temperature regulation. And the Display has always been an issue on stock.
Yea i readthat one allready i just need some to giv reassurance that its beeb thoroughly tested

What do you mean by thoroughly tested? I've had it disabled for months without any issues.
