Hello all... I'm new to Setcpu and have been able figure out how to OC and UV while still keeping everything relatively stable. As of now I'm experimenting with making profiles, I was wondering if someone could post a screen shoot of their profiles and pass on any advice. I am running TNZ Blend 2.6.2 with the Hitman kernel. Here's a screen shot of what I have so far.

The only thing I would comment on is your "screen off" there is no reason for it to be scaling/jumping from 800-1200 "ondemand" while the phone is not being used or the screen is off in general, just have 800 low and high or have 800 as your high and set it to "performance" so that there is no polling being done and it will set itself to the high value which would still be 800 anyway.
You might have a reason for that setting, just trying to save you a little bit more of battery juice.
Definitely bring down that screen off! I have mine set to 200-500 ondemand. I'm sure it'll save you a lot of battery. Also the battery 100% is kinda pointless because that's what the main profile is for. And expect your phone to get extremely hot if you use it while charging since you have it overclocked. I did that same mistake now I keep it at 200-800 to avoid the over heating.

Just a recommendation...you should give tegrak a go. I find it to be much more beneficial than setcpu...
Why scale cpu depending on the battery level? I prefer scaling CPU on my phone by the temperature. 1.6Ghz normal usage and then gradually scale it down if it gets too hot. I bought this phone for its performance, not battery life, which actually is pretty amazing for such powerful device.

be careful with Tegrak, as it doesn't work with some of the non stock kernels, and will freeze your phone for sure..
Pretty good. You don't need the battery>100% profile. Adjust that from the main page.

Yikes! I wasn't aware of that. Guess I'll do a bit more research on that before I fire out recommendations. Note to self...not all devices have the same setup as yours

I am Running 2.3,
What profiles should i use? this look alright?
And is it really worth using?

i like the screen off profile, as that makes a real difference for me in battery life, however i see no point in having battery profiles. do you really want your phone to become slower just because you drop under 50% batt?
normally i would want it to keep going full speed and in the case that im on the road and need to save battery as much as possible i would change the setcpu profile myself (and probably switch off sync and 3g)
Your <30% profile will never kick in, since that is also <50% which has a higher priority.
Newb question: Does one have to have a rooted phone to install Set CPU?
^^^ Yes.
SetCPU needs superuser privileges to do its thing.
Priorities fixed now, I used it with less than 50% and the phone was just as fast doing regular tasks and web browsing
Am just using screen off dont need to use any other settings.

You also need a custom kernel, the htc one can only underclock not overclock

I just use <30% battery, 768Mhz. I let HAVS do all the rest.
So because I have a custom Rom Leedroid, I dont need to disable the driver?

What is HAVS?
Also, what's better for batt conservation (w/out sacrificing speed): Undervolting or underclocking?

HAVS is a set of instructions from the kernel governing the CPU, it undervolts and under clocks the CPU when it is not in use. Undervolting and underclocking go hand in hand.
I have just 1 profile:
screen off: max around 384 MHz. and mim 245 MHz.
Does that makes sense? :-O
How far have people got with over clocking their Visions?
Mines over clocked at 1GHz, i don't think id be increasing it any time soon think it would ruin my battery life
How far have all you all got to? Stable of course
just realised its in the wrong thread sorry il repost in the right one, sorry for an inconvenience caused
You didnt need to open another one. For future ref,.... Just hit

where is that icon btw? i cant seem to find it
Yeah, its tiny aint it. Good job for asking.
i've got the flashable zip and i'm set to 1804 Mhz and running o so smooth, to save battery i dim the screen and use 2g whenever not using the web

Holy sh** son! I used that kernel for a bit just for fun a few times, you don't tick away at 1.8GHz all the time do you? 1.1 - 1.2GHz for me all the time.

My G2 Is oveclocked to 1.51Ghz. I am running DezireZ ROM Vitreous v1.81. Great sense rom.

yeah the G2 FAST rom is amazazing. As long as you set profiles for screen off, temperature, and battery life.... you are gravy. mines clocked @ 1.89 for about 1/2 the day, and i only charge my battery once a day. JUST MAKE PROFILES!!!!!!!
If you give cyanogenmod a shot it comes with a 1.516 kernal.. I get quad scores in the 2200 zone. If you use rom manager (koush is a hero!) You can download cyanogenmod 6.1.1 and do a backup if you don't like it.

Can anyone please give me undervolting tips for battery life cause I can't get to 3 hrs on screen time with standard battery
I am with latest Franco kernel
I don't think the problem from the ROM cause its the same on every ROM I tried
Thnx for any help

These are the voltage settings I'm using for the CPU, ondemand governor with standard battery. Hope this helps.

Undervolting tip: Undervolting varies per phone and requires trial and error. If your phone hotboots, you went too low.

Agreed!
I started by letting SmartReflex calibrate the voltages and using those voltages as my starting point. Undervolt by 20-25 at first and see how stable it is...trial and error! Here is a screenshot of my SmartReflex calibrated voltages, but they are different for every phone and sometimes get calibrated differently for me when using various ROM/kernel combinations. I am currently running the Kang CM10 ROM with the Glados kernel, but have used Franco in the past with similar results.

Could I know the apps name of your screen cap?
Hi all. I have a gnex that has horrible battery life. I have tried using the stock battery and the OEM extended battery however I will only get about eight hours of use. I am running cm10 with lean kernel. I have overclocked, under clocked, and undervolted but has made no difference. I am including some screenshots so someone can try to help me or at least tell me I'm not alone lol.

How much screen time? Press screen in the battery option.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
1. Don't overclock
2. Don't use LTE
3. Keep your screen as dim as possible
4. CM isn't really known as a battery saver rom. Its more of a performance with stability type rom
5. Test out other kernels.
6. Check your apps to make sure you don't have one that's killing your battery
7. GPS should be off
8. Turning sync off will help too
Oh ya and questions go in the Q and A forum

If you're constantly in areas with low signal and data on, your battery will drain from trying to get a signal.

Well it seems like you're using the phone pretty hard on LTE with a 1.6ghz overclock... Sounds about right.

Yes, way overclocked. Is your phone actually using that frequency and is it stable. Lean exp. 5 can under clock on the low side to 180. Try that.
Actually your battery life seems quite normal.
Some folks are saying that Diet kernel gives great battery life. I haven't tried it yet. I'm wondering if it will slow my phone down too much. I'm loving the speed and stability of Lean kernel.

Recently I've decided to overclock CPU and evaluate efficiency in term of speed by using one of the famous and best FRANCO KERNEL.
So I've captured 1 minute 1080p raw video with stock settings (no mods or hacks to mediaprofile.xml file) and rendered file in Google Movie Studio in 1920x1080 aka 1080p format and High quality.
Consequently, the results were as follows:

As you can see the most efficient OC frequency is 1305Mhz. All above are way slower, cause CPU gets hotter and efficiency decreases.
Yes, do admit overall smoothness is by far better in comparison to stock kernel, but as you can see overall efficiency is not a deal breaker.
Maybe try the version with the overclocked gpu. I think this can have a big impact, I mean on the PC most of the work is done by the gpu so I could be that it's similar on our phones

First look and then write... Franco has a 512mhz version because 384 ist his stock

it's said that the difference is so minuscule, the 512mhzoverclock isn't worth battery loss. I'm not talking about relative to Franco, the device's stock gpu frequency is 304. But if you see it that way, to each his own.

Unless the GPU has built-in hardware encoding or decoding for the particular codecs involved, and it's actually being used by the software, it won't play any part in video rendering.
Interesting.You could try the same with Trinity .
