hello!
i am new with setvsel.
tell me please what are best vsel settings for 300/600/1000
and what up_threshold can i use?
what about other settings?
what must i tick and what to untick?
is it safe to apply at boot?
All you need to do is search the forums, plenty of info there.

There's no hard & fast settings that will work for each cpu. What some people get on one phone others may not be able to achieve on another phone.
As mentioned there's quite a few threads on this topic but my settings are:
300/18
700/33
1100/56.
I am happy with those settings & it's totally stable - no random reboots at all.
Up_threshold I've set to 75% - this means that the cpu will reach 75% of it's speed before it switches to the next highest speed.
It really is a very good app & makes a huge difference to performance & battery life.
As for the other tick boxes - apply at boot yes when you have got your stable settings.
CPU speed icon shows the icon in the notification bar & you can access the menu from that.
Limit to vsel1 when screen is off - this keeps the phone at lowest speed setting while the phone is not in use.
my settings are:
300MHz - 18vsel
600MHz - 30vsel
800MHz - 45vsel
up_threshold - 80%
actually i don't really see the point of oc-ing the defy, i've never had any problem with speed. ok, it looks good in benchmarks, but other than that, 800MHz is fine.

I've heard that setvsel isn't recommended (read this on several posts here as well as seen online, also heard this from a developer).
Either just using milestone, and/or setcpu is supposed to be better for your phone.
Just thought I'd throw that out there for you to take into consideration...I was using it before but to play it safe have since removed it and using milestone oc'd at 1000/74 and it zips along real fast and smooth, and I don't notice my phone overheating as much as when I used setvsel. That's just my experience though...
300MHz - 18vsel
600MHz - 30vsel
800MHz - 40vsel
If you heard setvsel is no good please say the source so we can know the whys and the whens.
300MHz - 18vsel
600MHz - 30vsel
800MHz - 40vsel

cm7 said its default cpu speed is set at 1000mhz.. but when i use quadrant standrad/ quick system info to check my cpu range, it shows that my cpu is at 800MHz.. I have checked my settings both in the cyanogen settings and the boot menu.. i am choose 1000MHz .. but the cpu is still stick at 800MHz.. How can i turn it to 1000MHz, may i use setvsel ??
anyone help??
during bootup, press volume down key when you see the LED in "Blue". You can find a Overclock menu, adjust accordingly.
I notice Milestone OC, n SetVSel doesn't save settings on CM7-Defy
i have try that.. but the setting in bootmenu did not really apply ...
no matter i press set default or save..
Hi,
I'm using cm7-110615-1323-BOOT177-Jordan.zip and everything works as it should.
I'm using the widget called "Temp+CPU V2" from the Market and it showes clocks between 300 and 1000 MHz. CPU-load, Temp and used RAM also works fine.
Make sure you don't have your middle frequency set to 800. For some reason that was causing me similar problems, but all has been good since I changed the middle freq to 790...

It doesnt work..my cpu and battery vsel setting still at the stock value.. which is 33/300,48/600,58,800
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
When I look at system settings it shows the following
Current (300-1000)
Min (300)
Max (800)
Min is 300, Max is 800. However current has been 300 - 1000. So this measures the current setting and it can be higher than the 'max'.
Try another tool to measure your cpu freq, setvesl has a decent one.

Hi,
I've been meaning to try some free CPU tuners/boosters for a while and a finally found the time. Please bare in mind that these are just very VERY basic tests, nothing fancy and far from bullet proof (for instance, I have not tested battery impact).
Important note: I'm using ninphetamine-2.1.3-release at the moment and usually get benchmark values around 3400
CPU Master Free (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.antutu.CpuMasterFree&feature=search_result)
- Settings: Scaling on demand with min frequency 500 and max 1400 (it goes up to 1600). Enabled to start the app on boot.
- Quadrant results (ran it 4 times): 3780, 4124, 3585, 4245
- Note: this app doesn't allow you to schedule settings (for instance, to lower the CPU usage during sleep and so on)
No-Frills CPU Control (https://market.android.com/details?id=it.sineo.android.noFrillsCPU&feature=search_result)
- Settings: Scaling on demand with min frequency 500 and max 1400 (it goes up to 1600). Enabled to start the app on boot.
- Quadrant results: 4003, 3526, 4479, 3465
- Notes: even though I set the app to start on boot I always get a "value not applied" message when I reboot.
CPU Tuner (https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.amana.android.cputuner&feature=search_result)
- Settings: Scaling on demand with min frequency 500 and max 1400 (it goes up to 1600). Enabled to start the app on boot.
- Quadrant results: 3829, 4333, 4153, 4369
- Notes: even though I set the app to start on boot when I reboot the values go back to stock. This app doesn't allow you to schedule settings (for instance, to lower the CPU usage during sleep and so on)
And now the best part...real speed gains during usage? None that I can notice, but then again other than watching a lot of videos, taking photos and editing photos I don't use any hardcore CPU apps. But then again the SGS2 is a beast by it's own and I have never used any app that made me feel that I needed more speed. I think it's awesome that these apps exist though and I will certainly install CPU Master on my wife's Milestone (I've chosen this one because it's the only one that seems to work on boot).
There's absolutely no reason why any of those would even touch performance. They don't tune anything, you're the one controlling the frequencies. So as far as that goes there's no reason to use anything else than SetCPU as that has proper voltage control too.
This would be the only alternative that would really change anything.
Notes about Battery Saver script
Can be used with kernels that have init.d support
It completely eliminates the need for an application to set CPU speeds or profiles
Easily customizable if you use a text editor(scripts located in /system/etc/init.d)
It will set Max CPU speed to 500MHz & Min CPU speed to 200MHz when a sleep
If SetCPU, Overclock Widget, Android Overclock or QuickClock Advanced Overclock are detected, the script is ignored, so it will not affect them
Preset profiles are:
1.2GHz - 100-85%
1.0GHz - 84-36%
800MHz - 35-0%
And just an FYI, even at 800MHz, the phone still operates very well & smooth but the battery saving are the real benefit

Does this mean that if I don't use Set CPU or any app that undervolt it, the phone will AUTOMATICALLY drop the CPU speed according to my battery level:
1.2GHz - 100-85%
1.0GHz - 84-36%
800MHz - 35-0%
Another word, it will automatically drop CPU speed to 800 MHZ when my battery level is 35-0% in order to save battery?
It won't "Drop" the CPU speed, it will lower the Maximum speed the CPU is allowed to ramp up to.

So if I am not doing CPU intensive stuff and just play simple games, email, web surfing phone call, then I am not going to see battery improvement since my CPU probably don't ramp past 800MHZ anyway when I am just doing simple stuff.?
Calk's ROM undervolts the CPU at all speeds so that in itself should help a little with battery life. But you are correct, if you are not doing CPU intensive tasks the CPU probably isn't spending much time at the higher speeds.
There is an app called CPUSpy which shows how much time the CPU has spent in each frequency state.
Your phone will ramp up to 1200 mhz more than you think. When it loads a webpage, it will ramp up to 1200, when it's loading your "simple" game, it will max out for a bit, etc.
It might not stay there for very long, but still. The nice thing about Calkuins rom is that even at 800 mhz, the phone is super smooth and lag free. In fact I just turn setcpu down to 800 all the time.
Let me research setcpu and play around with it. Thanks again for the quick answers.

The way Calkulin's rom scripts are setup, setcpu gets reset on every reboot, even if you have it set to boot settings. The scripts installed will still take priority and the old rules apply, just to let you know. So you would have to set setcpu every boot for it to work, that or remove the scripts.

Team era... Does the same idea apply to the blazer 2.0 battery saving script? or does tegrak break it?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I havnt opened that rom, but Im gonna say the same applies, I remove those scripts, 2 will affect the cpu state.
edit, let me clarify, the scripts take prority, even if the app makes a script for init.d, the original script will take over on a reboot. So the script breaks tegrak, setcpu, and voltage control unless you set the app on every reboot.
I am running Calks 2 and desperado kernel. I notice when using setcpu, if you have it set on boot, it will override calks script.
His script does work well on saving battery life though. I ran oc'd while at 20% and still had 1700mhz blazing on performance gov.
I'd still use Calks script over setcpu or tegrak only due to the fact im too sporatic with my phone use to create optimal profiles to fit the way and when i need to use the device.

Actually in my own testing setcpu will not override the scripts, the slider may stay the same, but trust me, it goes back to 800 (or 1200 over 86%batt), Ive tested it several times. If you want proof Ill tell you how to figure it out. I know Im not respected yet, but I am someone that is known under another name that is highly respected, so, take it as you will.

Era, what's your suggestion for keeping the battery saving scripts running and getting a 1500 ish over clock when needed... something that can do both without having to physically change setcpu everytime. I basically want to permanently over clock to 1.5 and still save as much battery as possible when i have the screen off or it is charging. Idk if setcpu profiles work on this phone because i know they did not work correctly on the galaxy s. And one final question... what voltages do u run at what speeds on the "desperado" kernel to undervolt efficiently?

ERA. I wasn't looking to say that you were wrong in any way shape or form. I would be interested to know how you seen this as I am still in the beginning phases of learning the android system. I do plan on writing my own kernal/roms but I was actually sharing what my logical thought process would have been given the apps and system info I had avail.
I have a little ways to go in understanding the structure and FS of droid. Time is everyones enemy. Thanks for the correction again!

I'm currently running Calkulin's rom v2.5, and even at 41% battery I notice the cpu still hits 1.2 Ghz. Is his script activated by default or am I overlooking something? I also have nothing like setcpu installed.
Hi,
I'm a little confused about the cpu tweaks in system tuner. I'm running Bullet v2.9b. What is the difference between the different governor settings? Also, when I change the cpu clock speeds, it keeps resetting to the default settings.
I had this same issue with system tuner. Try another CPU apparently from the market. The governors tell the CPU how fast to ramp up. Conservative is the best for battery life. Performance is the worst. On demand is a middle ground for battery and speed.

Did you ever sort out the System Tuner CPU tweak issue? I'm having the same or a similar problem. I set the freqs to 384-1.6 (whatever) and go away (home or back...). When I return to ST, seconds later, the CPU setting is 1.6-1.6. This happens almost all the time. It does not happen with SetCPU. I'd prefer to use ST, but not with this weirdness.
(I'm using faux-u009 with the standard KL1 ROM.)
Thanks for any help.
CPU Settings
Hi,
I'm using Jugg 4.1 with the bullet kernel. I was wondering what are some normal settings for the CPU when using system tuner. It seems like the first setting is +1 ghz while the second is in the 300-400 mhz range. Any help would be much appreciated.
@disguy03 - Your settings of 384MHz - 1GHz CPU are exactly what I'm using--that, and the Ondemand governor--and I haven't had any problems. If anything, since your CPU is underclocked at its highest, to ~1GHz, your battery will love you for it.
I hope that helps you in some way!
I have noticed the same behaviour, with system tuner. I believe it is a display issue. If you look at the times they will still show the lower ones. At least that is what I see.
its a graphical glitch...if you leave the CPU tab and come back it reverts to the proper view but will work properly as long as you have it set to either run from intuit.d or change after boot.
so the Galaxy Nexus has a dual core 1.2ghz TI Omap right? thats 2 cores running at 1.2ghz each? or are the clockspeeds split between the cores?
using Kernel Tuner to manage my CPU speed i noticed that when i exit the CPU tab CPU1 goes offline until i hit CPU1 on/off. nice feature to be able to turn it on or off on the fly, but why isnt it on by default?
then after a while, even set to Performance mode and no matter what i set, my clockspeeds drop by half and fluctuate as if i have the governor set to Ondemand and again with only CPU0 activated slowing my phone down immensely!
im currently running Axi0m with Fancy Kernel but have noticed this on the included kernel and in EOS and SlimBean too.
its really annoying to watch Need for Speed Most Wanted fps drop gradually while racing, or even Into The Dead
is this my phone acting up or is this actually a Deep Sleep feature?

This may be an app compatibility issue. From the market Application officially supports only HTC EVO 3D GSM/CDMA, however it might also work on other devices. Try a different app, Trickster Mod perhaps.

This could be the app too. Performance governor should never fluctuate in speed. It should lock in at the top speed you have set, and never change from there. It could also be that you have something with profiles that changes your speeds/governors when certain requirements are met (under 50% battery underclock and use on demand governor).

There are settings and governors that do disable a core when sleeping, or when not needed in hopes of saving battery. Most don't come with this enabled by default, as there are some folks that run into stability issues with those options.

your right, Kernel Turner is "officially" only supported by HTC EVO 3d. ive used it on a bunch of other phones and never ran into any problems, like my Samsung Intercept and Evo Shift even an Exhibit 4g. will give Trickster Mod a go
by chance do you know if Axi0m rom has only 1 core enabled by default? i had noticed these sames fluctuations in it's built in CPU controller BEFORE i installed Kernel Tuner. actually this was the REASON i installed Kernel Tuner
also i dont have any profiles or apps set up to govern my CPU frequencies. literally have have 4 games, TerrariaHB and Kernel Tuner lol.
ok ive played around with it a little bit and still having the frequencies drop to 537 even with Trickster Mod, both cores are saying offline and i set frequency lock.
i had my phone set to 806mhz Performance, played with it for a few, come back and...well?
here it is AGAIN after just sitting there and clicking apply doesnt change it! i have to change the frequency then click apply and it does, but it only seems to for a few minutes
-_- im an idiot...
"Max Screen Off"
You will press v under status bar for apply with setting otherwise you will never stay at the same set than before
For apply at boot use settings > apply at boot
Don't use performance, it's useless and deprecated, use interactive instead
