Education in SetCpu

I would appreciate a brief explanation on how to use setcpu or fauxclock or something like that. I would appreciate if someone could tell me which apparently works best wirh synergy kernel and some initial setting to put in. Ill hit your thanks button everyday for 20 years if you'd take the time. I can root, and flash but this process is something I'm completely in ghetto dark about.

SetCPU is very simple. Once you install the application, all you need to do is adjust the sliders appropriately to the speeds that you want. Lagfree governor will give you the best performance, but battery life will suffer.
Fauxclock does not work with Synergy, so you can only use SetCpu.
EDIT: if you want your settings to stick when you overclock, don't forget to check "set on boot" when you are in SetCPU.

What about the settings in the advanced tab? Like sampling, thresh hold, etc...

nothing you really need just yet. Only thing I could think of would be profiles for screen off, etc.

I used SetCPU recently with Synergy and SetCPU stated it was controlling the processor speeds, is there a way to verify the speeds?

These are the setting I'm using, the screen off doesn't seem to choke up the phone like it used to do on the Vibrant.
The first one is Temp>50.0 C 810max 192min set to performance.

I use setcpu and have from day one. It was the first paid app i bought. The are drawbacks. The best way to adjust cpu setting is through scripting. It not hard but if you lazy like me or just stupid and cant follow instructions setcpu is the way to go. Its pretty self explainatory.

[Q] Why is min frequency changing when I open Faux?

I tried searching but didn't find a question similar to mine.
I flashed slickmod 3.4, 3.6. When I go to SetCpu (or Fauxclock or etc.) it shows both the min and max frequencies at 1.782ghz then 2 seconds later the min frequency jumps down to 384mhz. Every time I open SetCpu (or any similar app) it does this. My question is:
1. Is the min frequency really at 1.782ghz and when I go to SetCpu it goes down for the first time as to trick me?
Also in other roms I experienced this (not min freq being 1.782 though) but the min freq would be on a certain amount and 2 seconds later it would jump to down to a different certain amount right after I open SetCpu or Faux or any other app like this.
Here's the scenario right after I open Fauxclock.

Yeah that's a bug with pretty much all CPU apps on our phone, happens with system tuner as well. Its just a graphical bug, your min frequency is still what it should be at at all times. To confirm that you can use CPU spy which will show your phone using the correct min frequency

Thanks,
Also how do I fix a governer to stick?
Sometimes I change it to another governer, but when I come back to fauxclock
it changes back to the default governer.

Set on boot, or use a script

I've never had issues with a governor not sticking. I don't use faux clock though, maybe you should try system tuner. If you're not rebooting the governor change should stick but if you need it to change on boot (like if you reboot your phone a lot) you'll have to have the app set it on boot or modify your post boot script like the poster above me said.

NO bro it`s only an app i provided for general use of everyone and i wanted to know others score just to know. THanks anyway

why did savie's kernel got such low score?that kernel is a lot better than mine...

Is it safe to install on my device ?
I doubt whether the file is safe to install.

CPU temperature question (app&mod)

OK I'm working on the cttmod for mm and I'm having trouble getting different temperature readings from the different apps I'm using to test so I have a two part question
1 - Does anyone know of an app that accurately measure the temp ?
2- How can I tell what method or what directory mm stock and stock kernels get there temperature information and an temperature app that will allow me to point it in the same direction.
Right now I've got the mod working but the 5°c+ difference in temperature is a big difference when allowing the CPU's temp to be higher before it throttles and for how long it stays there.

Hey.
You can see all thermal zones here:
/sys/class/thermal/
If I'm not wrong, thermal_zone0 is for the cpu package(not only core0), so you can use this to see the temp.
I'm using cooltool from Google play and custom label with this for path:
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
You can change refresh rate and some other things in the app. You can also watch on what mhz cpu work, so you can see when it throttle
Hope this will help you
P.s.- This is the most accurate temp reading, because you read it directly from the kernel.

You can see it runing in statusbar and this is the custom label configurations I'm using for cpu temp.

Thanks and that just confirmed it. Kernel auditor is the one that's off out the five that I tried only kernel auditor was a consistent 5+ ° c lower than the other four which all stayed without 1 to 2° of each other. That's the reason my mod wasn't working the way I thought it was . Now time to start over
Again thanks I just needed some additional confirmation and that did it

Conservative CPU Governor - Performance mode

Hi Everyone,
I have little experiment about Conservative CPU Governor to get better performance and if anyone of you experienced developers can tell me which settings between these two could give better and smoother UI performance? What do you think?

Very good thread, have a look.

CPU Governor tuning guide
This post includes:
- CPU governor parameters
Recommended apps for manipulating kernel values:
1. Kernel Adiutor (Free to tune governor variables)
2. Kernel Adiutor-Mod (Free to tune governor variables)
3. Compatible kernel managers (e.g Stweaks, Synapse, UKM, etc.)
NOTE: If you don't have some of these tunables, you might have an older version of the governor/hotplug driver and/or the kernel maintainer has made modifications to it.
CPU governors
4. CONSERVATIVE
[ PARAMETERS ]
Quote:
Ondemand and conservative have some tunables in common, but with a few extras:
i) freq_step - this describes what percentage steps the cpu freq should be increased and decreased smoothly by. By default the cpu frequency will increase in 5% chunks of your maximum cpu frequency. You can change this value to anywhere between 0 and 100 where '0' will effectively lock your CPU at a speed regardless of its load whilst '100' will, in theory, make
it behave identically to the "ondemand" governor.
ii) down_threshold - same as the 'up_threshold' found for the "ondemand" governor but for the opposite direction. For example when set to its default value of '20' it means that if the CPU usage needs to be below 20% between samples to have the frequency decreased.
