[Q]Best cpu app? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello all. Just got my phone last night and got a new rom flashed. I was wondering what everyone is using to control cpu? I always used set cpu on my vibrant. Is there a better option for our S2 's? Thanks

Fauxclock, ocdaemon, system tuner

System tuner is a great app, just because it allows u to change CPU and screen off, also change the memory presents, and even backup ur apps,which is great when u reflash new roms.

Thanks for the responses. I tried system tuner, and I guesss I need to play around with it some more. I have a question about it tho. When I open the cpu tab, it shows 2 sliders. Are they for min/max or does each slider represent a core. If anyone has some tips for using system tuner, that would be great. Thanks

The top bar is for the Max CPU and bottom of course for min if u press boot settings which is next to the govern u can apply screen of CPU which is great for battery saving...I use beast rom4.2 with smartass govern 1.13ghzmax and 383min with screen off-powersave-382 ,try getting the pro version online, hope this helps

SetCPU and screen not turning on...

Now I am not blaming the app I am just wondering... everynow and then, when I wake my phone up, it doesn't want to wake up or when I turn it on and try to unlock it freezes... was wondering if anyone else was getting the same thing.
Rooted using the one-click method.
Screen off setting is min 400 max 400.

SetCPU issues
I have been having the same issues myself. Mine was set low to 100min/max: screen off just as a test today and it did that to me a on a few seperate occasions. Not sure why, just ended up battery pulling after 10-15 seconds of no response from the phone.
The cpu is set too low on screen off, go for 245 or so
setcpu does not play nice with r phones. i had problems witth it on every kernal i played with. right now im using the mix up kernal. i used setcpu to 1.2ghz max and 100mhz min. conservative governore. i have yet to find a set up to use while the screen is locked with no issues. what i do know is galaxy s phones only like the conservative setting. maybe a 400mhz max 100mhz min with conservastive governore would work?
Make sure setcpu is set to conservative. I set my lowest to 200mhz and max at 1200. No issues here other than sometimes the notification pull down bar is laggy but it does that stock anyway.

There's a kernal that allows you to hit 1.4ghz its the overclocked one from baked snacks

The rom don't control the cpu speeds. The kernal does. You cab run any rom kernal combo you would like. In order to hit the 1.4ghz you want you need to run a kernal that is capable of doing so

Is SetCPU really necessary anymore? If you run a kernel that's not locked into performance mode it will scale on it's own even without SetCPU. I haven't installed it on my Epic yet and when monitoring the phone with SystemPanel I see my CPU go down to 200mhz when idle and scale up when processes are running.
Where is the kernel for 1.4? I have baked snack rom max is 1.2 i know kernel is the part that "controlls" speed but I'm stuck. Any help

Myns warm two point two and setcpu

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

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.

I need help with system tuner pro please

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.

Bump for some help

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.

[Q] [ICS 4.0.4]::DARKSIDE.UCLE2::[BETA05] - SetCPU problem

Recently took the time to flash to the sweetest ICS ROM out there, Darkside of course! After installing and setting up my profiles again I cannot seem to get SetCPU to run in the background. Normally as I'm sure you all know, when you boot your phone it starts with it and puts the icon in the status bar, however that is not the case. Double checking the app everything is set up properly, but seems to refuse to run at boot.
Anyone have any insight on this?
Try the profiles in set CPU and enable them. That's what I do and it works. Also you can download cpu spy and you will also see what it's running mainly on.

Yeah that's another question I had. I was curious if there was another app that monitored the CPU outside of SetCPU to see if the profiles are actually functioning regardless of the SetCPU icon being in the status bar.
I've installed CPU Spy and SetCPU is running my profile correctly so far. Thanks for your contribution & I will continue to monitor this to see if it runs all my profiles properly.
No problem.

A CPU question

I want to over clock my phone and under clock it when I'm not using it to save battery life is there anyway to do this I've tried a few apps and they didn't do much
What is the lowest clock rate for the phone bc on the apps it puts it at 384
Thanks for the help

The lowest safe rate would be 384 but you would be a lot better off
to get the "JuiceDefender" app from the play store.
It has a lot of features including auto cpu frequency and you can set it up
so it automatically handles all options needed for the very best battery
savings modes without sacrificing performance...
My personal opinion which is not worth much is NOT to mess with
manually over clocking, under clocking or volting but instead use a
true and tried app like JuiceDefender to do all the work for you.
Check it out at the play store.
Thanks I'll try it out

Hey i got a question about CPU. Im running wicked rom with Deviant Kernel. My max and min freq keep changing. My kernel allows me to overclock to 1944 but i set it to 1620 and min at384. im using smartsassv2 and cfq but it keeps making my maximum 1350. no matter what i change the gov. to or the max. I reinstalled rom and and the kernel seperate. to see if it would make a differecne and same results. Please Please Please help me fix this
I'm not an expert but I think I can some what help you. Are you toggling the set on boot?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You need to install a custom kernel and possibly a custom ROM.
Then you can overclock/underclock to what your kernel supports.
I've seen kernels that allow min at 94 and max at 1944.
