My questions is why do we need to use setcpu when we can use built in cpu tuner on CM7, profiles?? Last time I check whenever your not using your phone ei. screen off or left it by the table your cpu will automatically tune it to the lowest right??
EDIT: maybe we need profiles for battery percentage

wondering the same thing
I have always been a user of SetCPU and profiles, but two days ago I finally decided to give to built-in CPU tuner on CM7 a try, and it seems a little better on battery life and I do not notice any diffrence in the performance. I think I will stick to using the built in CPU tuner for now and see how it goes.
I've been using the built in cpu on CM7 for 2hours it drained me 19% of the battery light usage but I'm gonna try until it drains to 0%, my battery normally last for 13-16 hours on setcpu 248-1017 profile and I'm using the same on built it.

actually, where is the option for the built in CPU Tuner, is there even one? or does it run automatically?

Is it ok to use setcpu with a rom like myns warm two point two or is it not necessary?

Certainly OK, but useful... you'll get a lot of answers. I'll say it can be

If your happy with the way your phone is running then why mess with it? Setcpu will work with it no problems but if you want to overclock then you will need to change kernels

Yeah I wasn't planning on issuing for overclocking, but for underclocking when the screen is off.

SetCPU is useful regardless of ROM or Kernel. The ability to select different profiles and CPU settings based on need or battery life is always nice. I would set my default to "On Demand" and max 998 min 128. Then enable profiles and set it up how you like. I perfer to drop my cpu way down while charging, wayyy down for screen off, and hero style 528 for 50% or less battery.
If you do opt for a different kernel make sure it is one that is listed in Myn's post, otherwise it will bork your Spare Parts app.

Ok thanks for the info! I'll play with it and see if I get better battery.

Hey all. I bought this also last night and I really like it. Phone seems much smoother then with set cpu. My concern is when I set the clock speed, I apply them to run on init.d. But when I open the app to check the settings it shows my minimum speed as high as my maximum speed. But if I go to the voltage settings then back to the cpu settings its fine. My minimum and maximum speeds are fine. It shows both maxed out when I first open the app. I just don't want my cpu full bore all the time. Thanks.

I think what you are seeing is actually the Max of each core, not the min/max.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Also to whenever your changing speeds in system tuner after you set the desired speeds click on the kernel tab at the bottom and click on file that's says "mpdecision " and kill it, this ensures that both cpu will come back on line as the adjusted speeds you set
I stand corrected. The top slider is Max, bottom is min

You could also try and use Fauxclock for setting OC speeds and a screen off profile and just use System Tuner for UV and SD tweaks. This has been my combo and it works wonders.

Hey guys, i got cyanogen mod 7.2 installed on my phone, and whenever i tried to change the max cpu speed from the settings, it would now work after boot. Most of the market programs i use freeze as soon as i try to apply my changes. I got "No-frills Cpu control" to work once, so i made it 844 max clock speed. (I confirm using android system info app"). EDIT: after another frozen reboot, the clock speed has gone back down to 787 again -_- . So frustrating!!
So i was wondering, which app do you use to overclock your gio that doesnt freeze?

you need to tick "set when boot" setting.

Use set cpu..

Set your overclock, thick set on boot and reboot your phone!
Alright, so i got my max set to 864 and min to 245, and while im using it i get a bunch of random reebots every 3 min, and one sleep of death where it wont wake up unless you pull battery -_-. Using built in overclock still

I feel that the Smartassv2 cpu profile consumes more battery than the On demand one. Anyone here think the opposite?

Possible. But smartass also gives more performance than ondemand governor

I'll have to try that, I am using on-demand currently
Which is the best governor for gaming performance?
Performance or smartass v2
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
For performance the best governor is "performance". It causes that processor overclocking is always the highest. It means that if you have overclcked processor at 921MHz, with this governor phone will always work at 921MHz. But don't use it, it drains battery as hell
The best governor for daily use is SmartassV2, because it's balance between performance and battery
And sorry for my English :|
Na szczęście jest TapaTalk
which 1 is best for daily uses????
i am using smartassv2 but sometimes my phone becomes very very slow takes 1mint to slide the status bar phone apps etc.....
what is i/o schedular??? is it effect the speed?? which 1 is best???
Now I just use the On demand governor. Smartassv2 drains my battery pretty fast

Yup,any overclock will drain your battery quicker,this is very logical as you consume more power,right?I use No Frills CPU control,and i have my galaxy Gio set to 921 Mhz....! It realy works like asmall little pocket rocket now...I was already very satisfied with the price/performance ratio of this cheap little phone,but now with this stable OC it really hits it out of the park!!!No complaints from me about this phone..I'm gonna try and achieve an even higher oc,but it's really not a must,just want to know how far i can push it.No Frills has a benchmarker impemented ,very handy.

That's true. But smartass is just like balance between perfomance and battery drain, which makes it the best governor
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.
