Hey guys, just got the setcpu widget on my rooted and kernel flashed evo. I would like some help with all of the setting such as what I should set for charging, screen off, and so forth. I am running warm twopointtwo if that helps. Thanks in advance
DO. A. SEARCH. There's a bajillion threads about recommended SetCPU profiles.
That's why I posted this thread. I id a search and one guy had posted his text file so I put it on my sd card and it seems to make my performance worse.

USE.REAL.WORDS. Your point gets lost when using words that dont exist. Searching on this site sucks anyway. I can never find the same thing twice. Keep postin

Really though, just mess around till you find settings you like and works for you. People can "recommend" all they want. On the other hand, do you need an explination of the settings? SetCPU isnt necessarily about increasing performance, but managing that performance.

I know how feel about these settings.. for some reason no post a tutorial or anything..I searched so many websites and no gave a real answer.. i just found a couple..so these are my settings..
I you have a rooted phone..with a customer Kernerl, than you can overclock on the main screen and profile..meaning it can go past 998..
these are my settings that I saw from someone else.
Temp>50 499min/245min-on demand
screen off 245max/245min-on demand
charging 1113max/245min-performance <--I am overclocked
battery<25% 460max/245min-on demand
batter<50% 998max/245min-on demand
dont know how good or bad these seetings are..but they work for me..hope it helps
how do these settings affect your battery life?
I was wondering on how exactly I do this? I looked through and seen people talking about it, but not how to do it. Can someone explain to me what it does, and how to do it?

There are actually several ways to do this. The most popular of which are to have a rooted rom, install a separate application and use that application to modify your cpu speed. The more popular applications to do this are:
SetCPU
ROM Toolbox
ROM Toolbox light
I've used all of these and if I could suggest one to you, I would say ROM Toolbox, because it gives you a lot of other tools that SetCPU does not. HOWEVER, I find that in regards to overclocking/underclocking and setting profiles, SetCPU is much more handy and offers more customization.

Is there any certain configuration that you find best? Thanks for all the links and suggestions also!
System tuner pro is also nice. There is no " right" settings. Your phone might not like my settings profile. They are all different. I do however under clock. I see no lag on cm9 beta1. I use a Max CPU of 1ghz. I also under volt everything by -25 because -50 on Evert step crashes my phone. Yours may like it. Just remember do not push the set on boot button until you are sure your phone can handle the new setting.

It is pretty much a try what works. I find that over clocking is nice for certain things, but I like to have a long battery life as well, so I have mine set up so that the CPU is usually running ondemand 800-200 and for certain programs, ondemand 1200-500 and when the screen is turned off it is ondemand 500-200. I haven't had any problems and my battery life is generally very nice. Everyone's phone is different though.

I know, many people here want to have Android 4.x.x on their phones, but unfortunately, because of low-end processor as well as less RAM, these CM10/CM10.1 ROMs are laggy and slow. I am also one of them, but, after using these type of roms since 4 months, I have now got a perfect idea of using them. So, I am sharing the way I use these roms. Many people told that this also helps for CM7 users. So, now I have declared this thread as UNIVERSAL PERFORMANCE THREAD. This method can be used on - Stock | CM7/9/10/10.1.
NOTE : This thread is mainly from galaxy mini forums. But, I have posted it here also, so that Gio users also get its benefits.
NOTE : This method is same for PAC ROMS.. because they are based on CM. So, you can use this on PAC ROMs also.
♦ FINDING STABLE VERSION :
First of all, you will need to find a good stable version of any CM7\CM9\CM10\CM10.1 ROM. Find stable version by asking in general discussion thread of those particular ROM and then download that version. But, do not flash now.. Follow next step.
Note : For CM7 users - Official CM7 is best, but if you want you can try it on custom roms also. If you are using CM7 custom or stock based custom rom, then for scripts n tweaks to work, you must delete all the scripts from init.d so that scripts will not get overridden.
♦ SLIMMING THE ROM :
Slimming means making rom size less by removing unwanted and unnecessary applications from system/app. It reduces system memory use. Here is a chart of cm10.1 apps which are safe to remove - LINK
With reference to that chart you should remove following apps with adding alternatives to them.
Note: Left side apps are to be removed and right side apps are alternatives.
● LatinIME.apk - WP7 Keyboard App
● Browser.apk - Holo Web Browser
● CMFileManager.apk - Root Explorer File Manager
● Trebuchet.apk - Holo Launcher
NOTE: On CM7, default ADW is good, but you can also use Holo Launcher.
Other apps that can be removed without alternatives-
● CalendarProvider.apk - One of the big RAM consuming apps. This app start anytime, you do anything, so it will be a big save of memory removing this app. But, you will get problems with calendar sync..
● GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk - Reomove this only if you do not sync calendar.
● Email.apk - If not in use.
● Gmail.apk - If not in use.
● Talk.apk - If not in use.
● GoogleBackupTransport.apk - It is used in google backups, remove on your own risk. (Not a risk, i always remove it.)
● ChromeBookmarkSyncAdapter - No use.
● HTMLViewer.apk - Never needed.
● UserDictionaryProvider.apk - It is useless without LatinIME.apk.
● VisualizationWallpapers.apk - Wallpapers app. Remove it always.
● CMWallpapers - Remove it always.
● VoiceDialer.apk - Do you really use it?
● LiveWallpapers.apk - Dont you care for your battery?
● QuickSearchBox.apk - If you dont use.
● PicoTTS.apk - Text to speech function.
NOTE: Alternative apps should always be installed in system/app only. For that, I recommend you to remove these apps drectly from rom's zip before flashing.
♦ USE OF SCRIPTS N TWEAKS :
Many people use hard scripts n many tweaks to get good performance. But, it is totally wrong.
Highly recommended to use Activo Speeder. It is the best script for performance. Dont use anyother thing with it- such as ram manager, seeder or anyother script.
(Note: If the above script doesnt work on your device then please find another good script and flash it.)
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE SUPERCHARGER ON ICS\JB :
After testing a lot, I found that SuperCharger is the best script which can be used with any ROM to get more performance and for perfect RAM Management. Here are some steps on how to use SuperCharger -
● Here is the original thread for SuperCharger script.
● Script can be downloaded from this download page.
● Download latest script as well as starter package if needed (Read Original Thread).
● Now, for 4.x.x ROMs, you do not need to do anything with services.jar. But, for below 4.x.x, services.jar needs to be patched to get SuperCharger Memory Management working.
● Now, copy script to SDcard and run it with Script Manager as root. For more detailed guide plz prefer the original supercharger thread.
● Now, you are running the script. You will find many options and info on screen. Read it all and choose what you want.
NEW DISCOVERY : SUPERCHARGER + CROSSBREEDER = ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE WITH MAX ENTROPY ! - by Dark Passenger
● LINK FOR THE POST.
Here are some tweaks-
In Build.prop -
●
Code:
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
and change the value from 0 to 1. (Add the line with proper value if does not exist)
This one is for battery saving.
●
Code:
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=48m
If it already exists then just match the values.
This is a VM Heap management for RAM.
●
Code:
ro.ext4fs = 1
Improves EXT4 performance.
● IMP :
Add following lines below "# Other" in build.prop
Code:
ro.com.google.locationfeatures=0
ro.com.google.networklocation=0
(If exists, just change the values as above).
(Note: This one will remove location feature increasing performance freeing up more RAM. This frees up to 30mb of RAM)
And now remove NetworkLocation.apk from system/app as well as com.android.location.provider.jar from /system/framework.
For further build.prop tweaking, you can use this great guide -> Click Here. Thanks to Dark Passenger for some build.prop tweaks.
This much tweaking and scripting is enough. DONT USE TOO MUCH TWEAKS N SCRIPTS.
♦ BASIC APPS TO USE :
Your rom's performance also depends on the apps which you use. Always look for apps' memory usage and if the app consumes more ram then try to find an alternative app for it. Here are some basic apps which you should use (i always use them).
● Use Root Explorer as file manager, Holo Launcher as Launcher.
● Use Cache Cleaner App. It is must. Clean cache once a day.
● Use Root Cleaner App. A must have app. Do "Quick Cleaning" twice a day. It will regulate your performance.
You can also freeze the apps you are not using at that time, such as DSPManager (Unfreeze it only at the time of listening songs)
Freezing Google Apps will be a great way to reduce RAM consumption.
● Use this amazing app - Autostarts. This app controls the apps that start automatically in your phone. If you want settings which I use then PM me. I will tell you, how to use this app.
CLICK HERE FOR AUTOSTART APP SETTINGS
● ABOUT TASK KILLERS :
Using task killer is good but, it is also bad. Task killing is actually meaningless. Some apps never really get killed. They start again n again. So, use Autostarts instead task killers. But, here is a nice app for killing processes and freeing RAM. This is the original app. I have themed it to look good. Download it here.
Use it as a task killer, press menu button and include system processes and then start killing processes which are useless.
● Try to use apps as system apps.
● If you are using UC Browser then in its settings, check "Clear Data on Exit". If did, you will see UC will take less than 10mb but, if you wont do this, UC will take more than 15mb.
♦ IMPORTANT TIPS AND SETTINGS :
● Always flash rom with a clean wipe and proper flashing method.
● Do not flash gapps again if they are included in the rom.
● Do not flash internal memory scripts as they reduce performance.
● Use Adrenaline Boost. Boost once or twice a day. Boosting much will increase battery consumption.
● Use Root Cleaner app and freeze the apps which you are not using at that time. Freeze Google Play Store, Google Services Framework and other google apps which are always on. Unfreeze them when you want.
● The apps used for Backup purposes should not be installed always. Keep them in your sdcard and install them when you want and uninstall when done with them.
● Basic apps should always be in system/app.
● In Developer Options -
Set all animations scale to .5x
Set Background Process Limit to "Atmost 4 processes", if issues occur then set it back to "Standard Limit".
Enable "Kill App Back Button". Always use this feature to come out of the apps which do not really exit on pressing just back button.
● Do not expect much from our phone as it is not a high-end phone. Dont expect good battery life but, still to gain good battery life. Keep RAM free by using the ProcessKiller app as told above. I always get 170 mb RAM free.
● Do not charge battery until it gets discharged upto 10% or less. While charging do not remove it till it reaches 100% and 20 mins above that.
● Calibrate battery when needed.
● Avoid use of apps which are always running either in background or foreground.
● Press thanks. .
Thanks! I'm definetely going to try this out, even though I'm not running JB but ICS.
Deleting unneeded apps works on every Android version I think, and ActivoSpeeder works on ICS too, so I'm happy!

No offence, but this is pretty terrible. And after doing some actual research a lot of the "tweaks" you talk about here are never proven effective and frowned upon by actual experts. Even in the article you linked the writer says that something like dalvik heapsize is not something you should or have to change.
I would advice anyone to NOT waste any time on this.
ps: the last part (under tips and settings) is actually some good advice, although the background process limit is not saved in CM10 (and the max.mem tweak doesnt work), so you'll need to do that everytime at startup

please dude if you don't know how to tweak you can go i don't use this guide but it's a good one maybe you installed all those thing over a already tweaked rom, this guide if for clean stock, cm7/9/10/10.1
Nice guide...but I think you are wrong about the services.jar. You have to patch it when you use ICS or Jelly Bean, not on GB. And there is no Official CM7 on Gio.

I applied it on a clean cm10.1 twice, had the same results, twice. I am not trying to talk down on someone elses work, but the fact is that some of the "tweaks" he talks about are never proven and often based on urban myths and the perception of people who applied them and saw improvement (placebo effect). fwiw, OP himself links to an article that busts some of the myths about tweaks, he tells people to apply...
So, maybe my device didnt start to lag more, in fact, it might have been more stable... however, setting the fs.file-max too big (as is one of the many things that activo script does) will make it less responsive, like there is a 100ms sleep between every action... I also experienced that with manual sysctl.
And some other tweaks that do work are still not great for everyone because they got other side effects that are not mentioned anywhere in this article. I got no idea why sync started giving errors and gmail stopped updating (twice) after these tweaks, but they did....
I am completely new to android, and should've done more research before blindly following some article that states to have some magical cure. But I am not new to linux and it seems this community suffers from the same kind of idiosyncrasies at the bottom end, where people constantly try to fix **** that isnt actually broken.
I'm talking about tweaks here obv, removing gapps. bloatware and lowering requirements for the OS is obv fine...
When someone's Gio lags, it's probably because they want to do stuff with it it's not made for, it's a slow device with minimal specs that does the pure core tasks as pda, phone, messenger and email, and as long as you do those it'll be fine. If you want more, buy a better phone. If it's that important to you and you dont have money, learn to appreciate what is actually important in life.

okay go step by step and tell me what is it that is actually bothering you about the tweaking.(talk only about supercharger method not activ speedo).
yes most of the tweaks are utter bull**** The tweaks in the op(build prop ones are actually proven read the article again).As for dalvik size its recommended to keep a size around 48 so that you processes don't need to split their dalvik heaps into two separate piles thus reducing ram consumption.

This is one property that has cropped up recently in various build.prop recommendations for ICS. Typical suggested values range from “48m” all the way up to “256m”, likely motivated by the common misconception that more is better. The real purpose of this property is much less obvious than one might initially guess. It is also another one you should probably avoid changing.

Should you change this setting? Probably not.

Maybe you are right, I dont know all the technical implications, and I got no way to check it other than to test it and I see no difference in ram consumption if I change this property.
The ro.power.dissable thing might shut off wifi when in deep sleep and jumps back to mobile (I think, it happened after applying all tweaks and it seems the most likely thing to do that), but whatever causes that, you should warn people about that sort of thing as it can cost them money..
I didnt use it for long and I'm not an expert, i'm just sharing my findings, people can make up their own mind about it and share their experiences as well..

the ro.power.disable.ril actually causes the phones radio to go to sleep so if your mobile data is off there is no reason to switch on rather the wifi might switch off(devs already stated so) and again switch back on once you get out of deep sleep.
its a good thing that you are coming back to provide a feedback and is appreciated(at least should be).
the change for dalvik.vm larger than 48 only allows the heap to grow to that value then split into a new heap since we can't/shouldn't/don't use apps with such a large memory footprint the chances of a split occurring post 48mb(gb and below) and 64mb(ics and above) is highly unlikely hence the changing the value to a larger quantity will make no difference.
PS personally even i dont like activo mainly cause i dont know how it works rather i use supercharger and its a much better option in my opinion.

No, I already told you that many of your ideas are correct but, your way of expressing was not good.
Ex- You said that "Dont waste time on using this guide".
Now, if you think that was correct then please do not post again. If you are providing information then you can but, if you are telling people not to use this then dont post.
In fit's thread, Dark Passenger also wanted to express his ideas and wanted to help me. And I was happy about that. Because the way he helped me was like he really wanted to help. But, you was not polite as him.
You can ask Dark Passenger, there is a lot of information in the thread provided by him and I used that. And he never complained like you.
@Dark Passenger, please explain him.

When you use ics or jelly bean you need supercharger script and a patched services.jar (it's easy to do) because any other script don't works 100 % on it.

I use Elementalx custom kernel. All the things in its app confuse me. The only thing I understand is setting min and max CPU rates. I did a lot of searches on what everything else is and what to do with it, and nothing made sense. I need an explanation in layman's terms. Any help would be infinitely appreciated. My device stutters a lot and I don't get very good battery life.
You can take a look at this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/ref-to-date-guide-cpu-governors-o-t3048957
There are a lot of basics and information.
I run EX too and leave the default settings as is. Flar knows more than me that's for sure!

Just leave the default settings as they are. The kernel devs know what they do.
I would recommend testing all kernels and choose the one that fits for you and your usage.
For me mvk is the best but I know people were mvk is not fitting their usage and they swear on francos or elemental or....
Test them all and find the best for you.
I usually turn off zram as this phone has so much ram it didn't seem to need it. Had no noticable issues or anything.
I thought leaving everything at default is the best thing possible for this phone, at least Flar said to not use any other governor other than default sched anyway. Phone is smooth enough for me to not tweak anything anyway. That was the point for buying this phone at first place, leave Google to do their optimisation and sorts so we can simply start using it and save time.
