[Q] Best SetCPU settings?

As topic title suggests what are the best SetCPU settings for this phone (running ARHD 3.0), I'm new to SetCPU and the whole overclocking part of android (not new to android, i've been coming here and rooting etc since the G1 lol). Anyway just wondering if anyone has got any good setups/profiles they wish to share?
At the minute I just have my max at maximum and min at minimum with on demand scaling, nothing else. Any help is appreciated guys, thanks.

I use 245-1032mhz and smartass or interactive governor and I don't use any profiles because smartass locks the cpu @ 245 mhz when the display is turned off

245 min, 1228 max, smartass governor.
Works great for me.

245-1032mhz

How is the battery life with 1228MHz?

On-Demand 1036/245 & On-Demand 460/245 for screen-off.
No lag and battery life is awesome

Tried these settings for a day now and really like them, had the same min and max but with on demand, smartass has definitely been giving me better battery over the course of today.

Yes, smartass is nice. Especially since you don't need an extra "display off" profile. It sets CPU to 254 MHz automatically once the display is off.
That reminds me, is it just me or is adjusting the frequency/temperature etc settings on those sliders a pain in the a**? It'd be much easier if you could enter the digits using the keyboard instead of those sliders. Often the view is blocked by your own hand and setting exact values is almost impossible anyway.

I find On-Demand with a 460max / 245min screen-off profile works far better then Smartass with no profile as 245max caused wake lag for me + music player and Last.fm radio were stuttery when screen was off.
I do agree with your second point

A tip for your hand getting in the way: touch the slider with finger/thumb and slide ur finger/thumb down the screen a bit and then you'll see that then when sliding left or right its like your still on the bar but you can now see what your doing!

I've just installed SetCPU for the first time. Set to smartass and left as 245 and 1036 as set by LeeDroid ROM/Kernel.
Will this increase battery life as opposed to not having Set CPU installed and leaving it as stock?

I find smartass does a better job at reducing the cpu when it's not needed which in turn increases the battery life

CPU settings for oc kernel

I have an oc kernel and was wondering what the safest and best setting to put CPU at on cm7. On demand, smart ass, interactive, conservative, etc. I'm looking for a good balance of speed and battery life. What is smart ass setting anyway? Thanks xda gods!

I don't know who makes OC Kernel but alot of people use Smartass on these forums. It comes with a built-in screen off profile to save battery life. Im using Tiamat4.0.2 on CM7 nightly #70 and my SetCPU profile is smartass with 128min/537max. I get NO lag whatsoever. You could just play around with the governors and min/max until you find whats smooth for your phone.

[Q] [B]What speed shall i set my Desire hd on?[/B]

hi, I'm currently using no frills CPU to manage my CPU speed, with Virtous unity ROM, max is 1.5ghz, shall I do 1.2 ghz and leave it on demand or performance? What would use up the battery more?
also, what do the other options do apart from performance and on demand? Like interactive and conservative etc?

I currently have mine set at 1.3 (ondemand), do not choose performance it will drain the battery.

Could you explain what each governor does please, I dont know them such as interactive, conservative, etc. and which one is the most sufficient one for battery saving?

Try using search it's shouldn't be surprising that other people may have already asked this question, or if your too lazy

CPU apps

I'm having trouble finding a CPU app that works perfectly with this phone. I've tried setcpu, CPU master, system tuner, and nstools. What's everyone using to oc this thing?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Depends on which rom your running but in general...you should use none. Most roms already uv and oc and if u use an app it'll butt heads.

My issue is that it seems like my phone is skipping steps all over the place. I'm using cpuspy and the usage jumps between Max/min clocks. I'm kinda not digging that. Its the same with every rom i flash.

That's not an issue with your cpu app. It has to do with your governor (the thing that controls how your CPU scales). Most ROMs come with ondemand by default which pretty much does exactly that, which is jump from min to max as needed. If you want something that scales more, you should look at conservative (for better battery life) or lagfree/interactive (for better performance). Lagfree/interactive are only available on select kernels though (whereas conservative is almost universally available). Streamline definitely has them and I think synergy does too.
Also CPU apps don't butt heads with the ROM/kernel default settings, it just overrides the default settings.

Yea I figured that but this is the first phone I've had where on demand performs that way. I've had a nexus s, epic 4g, evo, and a g2 and they all scaled across the steps ondemand. Ondemand on this phone works like the min/max governor. But your right conservative scales across the steps well. Just a bit choppier. About to install nstools and mess with the threshholds and whatnot.

[Q] What's the best kernel ?

hi all gio users which kernel is the best for gaming performance?

Phiexz Kernel is best for Gamers + it has better performance and stability.

I don't know, maybe you don't need to change kernel..
Just set CPU governor to performance when playing a game..

the performance guvernator is the worst, it keep the freq at maxim all the time that meams battery drains and sometimes instability, the best guvernators for gaming are smartassV2,ondemand,ondemandX,smoothass

But it better than jump from lowest freq to the highest suddenly, and so on.
I think it will drains battery more

here is a little good trick for you
-During the charging of the device,you can set its performance governer and play any games you want,it will gives you better gaming + battery charging
-Or when not charging,you can set its smartassv2 governer and OC him to 883MHZ and play any games you want,this should gives you less lagging in gaming and reduced your battery draining problem.

Actually, good kernel is not only fast, but smooth and stable too, i think some kernel fro phiexz is great, you can try each other.
