Just installed franco kernel and AOKP and i have some questions
Is recommended to set min CPU to 350 MHz? Is safe to set 350 mhz min cpu with 1350 max cpu and scaling governor: ondemand? I want balanced battery - performance

That is exactly the configuration I have it at. 350min 1350 max with OnDemand. Performance is great, battery life is great. I also have hot plug enabled, which probably accounts a lot for my minimal battery drain with screen off.

thx! where is the hot plug option? i want to enable it too :-?

Well... you can enable it through the Franco Kernel Updated App link. Otherwise, I think you can enable it through some command in Terminal, but idk how to go about it.
to enable hot plug type su hit enter, allow superuser permissions when it pops up, then copy and paste this into terminal emulator
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/module/dsscomp/parameters/hotplug_enabled

I see that several ROMs now have settings for "CPUfrec interactive, powersave, ondemand".
What do these do?
I am aware of SetCPU that was used to save battery, but how does this fit in with the above?
Do I need to use SetCPU on these ROMS, or is it automatic? Is it better with these new settings? What about Perflock?
An explanation of what all this is about would be useful.
Cheers.
Interactive is the one to toggle if you want performances with acceptable battery time. Ondemand is a little less reactive but saves more battery witout harming performances too much. Use powersave instead if you only care about battery time. That's it (i guess).

Cheers, that explains it.

Keep in mind that Powersave keeps the phone running at 245 MHz. That is the very reason battery time becomes longer.
For me this is too low - the machine becomes too slow - and I did not buy a 1 GHz phone to only have it running at 245 MHz all the time.
Just play with the settings and see what works best for you.
An example of decent settings by people who know what there doing would be good.
Mine is set at screen off, 245min 245 max powersave.
Main profile is 998 max 245 min, interactive, with set on boot ticked.
Temp selected to 38 degrees, 245/245 powersave.
If battery becomes more or less important, what to change to in terms of govnor but also up threshold on advanced settings.
Thanks
I bet there are some of you use either the setCPU or CPU tuner on your play..
I heard it will help save some valuable juice...
I tried setCPU/CPU tuner and i think the default setting have reduce the performance when batt go before 50% or temp over certain temperature, I get annoy when i trying to fight on a 3d game...
so I really hope any expert here can advise which is the best setCPu you have used on play, for a reference for me...
beside setCPU, i like CPU tuner for the ability to toggle 3g/2g when batt is low.. so if anyone using CPU tuner instead, please share your setting for your PLAY...
heres the profiles i have on mine, in order (setcpu)gives me tripple the battery life.
ScreenOff - max 368640, min 122880
Charging - max 1024000, min 122880
Battery <10% max 368640, min 122880
Battery <35% max 768000, min 122880
scaling is OnDemand for all of them!
looks simple... but just wonder, when it move to 368... on screen off, will it automatically switch back to 1024... when we turn on the screen?
yeah. unless its below 35% or 10%
been trying out for 1 day, havnt see much improvement, but does see the batt last longer in 20% below...
i think I will try to mimic this setting to CPU tuner, which can turn off 3G somemore on extreme batt save setting, it might help more tho..
Any new tests given to improve battery life? My xperia play is rooted and am hoping that someone out there has found the best settings\profiles to use.
Please post it here. Many thanks
Anyone else use this or a similar program, if so do you get good results ?.

I noticed an improved battery usage after using 245 max/122 min (Powersave scaling) on Screen Off and then 1024 max/122 min (Ondemand scaling) as normal.
That combined with stopping all unnecessary services seems to work great so far (although I'm still looking for alternatives to improve things).
lagfree governor on main, min 122Mhz and 1.6Ghz on max
powersave governor, 122mhz min and max, screen off profile
performance governor, 600mhz max, 122 mhz min, on call profile
all priorities set on 100, using SETCPU
Except when gaming, I have it set to 768 conservative governor, stock ROM.
Also, I have screen off set to 245 max 122 min with powersave governor.
Edit/update: for some weird reason my battery life actually decreased when using setcpu, no matter how it was set. I've now disabled it, and the battery life went back to how it was before. Weird.

Hi to all,
Yesterday I flashed a Bindroid Rom.. it seems to be very very optimal for battery consumption.
And then, to improve battery consumption, I would know:
1 - setCPU or similar: in wich way must I set to improve battery charge? (I don't interested in performance, velocity, reactivity, but ONLY on battery consumption on my DHD)
2 - setCPU or similar: what mean governor settings?
Thanks a lot

Try ocbeater apk, seems to be simple..
To reduce battery consumption on your DHD, you might want to know exactly what each governor do. Usually it is set to ondemand in default. Ondemand raise the cpu speed gradually based on system workload. It is a balanced governor for speed and energy saving. You can adjust its threshold value and powersave bias to suit your needs.
For more energy saving, it is recommended to use conservative as your governor. It tends to reduce the cpu speed below the actual need. In other words, it sacrifices performance for more juice for your DHD.
Edit: Powersave governor is not recommended as it will force the cpu speed to the lowest speed available which mean super lag.

Your infos are perfect. Any free app to set my cpu? Cputuner, ocuvbeater.. or?

Ok. Now I try ocuvbeater. I set to conservative but min and max freq? 245760 min and 768000 max now.. could be ok?

Yep, that would do just fine. Also, adding a sleep/wake profile can boost the battery life even more. Then observe and compare the battery life between now and then. Try to play with the app and fine tune the settings to suit your need.

Given that I have never use OC/UV Beater, I don't know exactly the setting is, but I could tell from the pictures that it has no sleep profile. All the other configs are all correct.

This is the screenshot of sleep settings.. Could you see any mistake?

The link is broken. What I meant earlier is your "sleep" profile is somewhat set on battery low trigger, not screen off.

Hi,
Just putting out a question to those that tweak their Gnex cpu settings. What minimum mhz do you use that would still provide great response and yet saves battery?
Currently I am running min cpu @ 307mhz with Trinity Kernel.

Using 230mhz on Franco no problems with signal and the phone wakes up nice and fast.
My cpu is scaling to 900mhz, any one can help me to fix this at 300 mhz. I tried a lot of apps but nothing change, is there a tool to modify the cpu freq in the kernel ?
U hv to root ur phone and then install SetCPU...then set the min frequency as 300 mhz

in general section there is a thread with Thermal Config to prevent lagging and overheating by ravinder003
Use that thermal config

I deleted the red lines in the thermal config too but now i just want to set my cpu min to 300, i juste want to modify the cpu freq in the kernel
What cpu frequency to set for gaming and also for battery saving
In No-frills Cpu set Governor to powersave and also go to nofrills cpu settings and check prevent changes from other apps.
However it may cause unexpected behaviour like hangs and slow down so better stay bit above of 300Mhz.

I tried but the cpu freq is not changing in the scaling_min freq, cpu is min is always scaling on 900, thanks for reply

Delete the thermal engine file. Then go to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
There you'll see two files at the bottom ~ scaling_max_freq and scaling_min_freq
Change the values in them. See if it works.
EDIT: Seems like you already tried it.

Thabks for reply, but i can change the value of the cpu min scaling, it's impossible to change, i changed but after a reboot a have always 900mhz min

Check apply on boot in no frills cpu. However it wont always stay on 300 bcoz its based on performance. if you want it to stay near to 300 always then reduce max freq. If it still doesnt work and you are on miui then change your rom...Try using mokee rom.

Tried kernel tuner 2014 and now the cpu is scaling on 300, thanks for reply everybody, thanks a lot for yours answers kernel tuner work perfectly but no frills cpu or setcpu doesnt work perfectly look like kernel tuner
