This.
You could also try flashing an OC kernel which will allow you to underclock the processor when the screen is off (i.e. somewhere around 200 or 300 MHz as opposed to default 480 MHz) and keep the speed at the default 526 MHz when the screen is active. SetCPU can help you with this (or flash a kernel+ROM supporting the smartass governer which will do this without you having to set any profiles)
Definately refrain from messenger apps. Some of them are really heavy on the Wildfire's battery, take Mercury MSN for example. It can take your battery from 100 to 0 in an hour or 5.
Hello
Does anybody use set cpu with HTC Desire ?
I would like to know wich settings work the best for you. I am trying to get the best compromise between battery life and performance.
Thanks
128MHz - 998MHz ondemand. I get more than enough life out of it. I found that if your using AOSP and not really doing much on it like just texting or calling people, capping the max to about 600MHz or 500MHz if you want, works a dream and you get even longer out of it.
Smartass is better or worse ?
I do not see any real difference between smartass and interactive in term of battery live and performance.
On demand seems to drain slightly faster than smartass.
I set my Desire to 384-1136 with interactive govenor.
I charge it once i a day each time before I go to bed anyways (sleeping time usually23.00 - 05.00), so further battery saving is not necessary to me
Edit...my normal usages are:
Syncs (no auto sync by opening):
Friendstream 4 hrs
News 4 hrs
Weather 6 Hrs
push Yahoomail
push Googlemail
push Whatsapp
push EBuddy
Active background :
Lookout antivirus
No app killer used
Phone calls : about 1-2 hrs each day
Music listening mit DSP add-on : 4 hours
Fruit ninja (man! this is addictive!) : 1 hrs
Browsing (Dolphin HD + Android market) : 2 hrs
welll....every time I charge my battery it is about 15-25% left till out of juice...if I use my phone more than those, I have to charge it earlier (more than once a day)
245 - 985 MHz Conservative give mere 36 hours power and running smooth.

For me the battery has never lasted more than a day... Even on my un-rooted one...
BTW: Battery live depends on many things
1. Your ROM and kernel
2. Your runnning application, syncs, etc.
3. your usage and settings such as cpu freq, display brightnes, airplane mode, etc.
4. Received signal quality.
5. The condition of the battery...is it top fit for example?
It is difficult to measure the battery live.
@atuladhikari : battery live has nothing to do with rooting..

I don't like using any of the other governors since I get lag. I hate lag. OnDemand gets rid of the lag for me. I've had it before where I was using smartass and it took ~30 seconds for my screen to turn back on from idle. I wasn't too impressed.
setcpu
thanks meaple for your advice
i think that set cpu is fine on "ondemand" for some roms and for others roms no
set cpu is included on oxygen settings and running well
Cool, I need to download Setcpu
128-998 ondemand
screen off 128-384 ondemand
in call 128-384 ondemand
I get very good battery and performance with theses settings.
Which app do you guys recommend? Tried overclock widget doesn't seem to be working.
Am on Insertcoin stock GB rom.

DidI do that?....I did.... LOL.
I used to use set cpu
set a profile like
Smartass
on charge - 1113mhz
80% - 100% - 998mhz
59% - 79% - 600mhz
35% - 58% - 500mhz
Screen Off - 300mhz
Priority was higher for lower battery %
BUT I stopped using it because of the little bugs, like when it changes to 384mhz for no reason after unlocking screen
It also affects the standard script with the rom you install, so you can never uninstall it properlu, you have to do a full wipe install and never install it, until I did that my phone was always a little laggy
I prefer my phone without it Each to their own
@shankly1985 - you didn't noticed wakeup lag with 128 MHz?
I must use 245 - x MHz to properly and fast unlock my phone.
Best Setcpu config for Desire is - no Setcpu at all.

I couldn't agree more with you. Experienced all of the above so no go.
245-1033mHZ with smartass give me two day out of my desire loaded with insercoin 1.0.9 with v06 kernel !
I am mostly sending Text message and some calls.

Not at all mate, I get zero lag on my phone. when I check the info on the setcpu app and time in state 128 is at 85% so my phone is using very little cpu.
i flashed cm9 modified by liumiao . i have read that it overclocks the processor speed to 806mhz . but its still showing only 600mhz for me ? any solution ?
The default setting is for 600Mhz.You have to change it yourself .Goto Settings>performance>Processor>Change the Maximum cpu frequency.Hope that helped

Be careful about overclocking though, not every cpu comes out the factory alike. Some can handle overclocking better than others, if you experience any force closing of apps you should try lowering the max cpu figure. And while overclocking will give you a smoother UI experience, you may notice a reduced battery life. Good luck.
thanks mates it has helped me
I was previously using a CPU throttling app (CPU tuner) with ICS to help conserve battery.
I'm wondering if this is needed anymore now that I have JB (Frosty)? I've read that JB features "butter", which appears to basically be CPU speed management.
So if the OS is now handling CPU speed management, is there any point to installing a separate app to do the same thing? Might the separate app actually conflict with "butter" and actually conflict with the user experience that the "butter" improvements are supposed to provide?
Even without the CPU tuner app installed, I can see that the CPU speed is being managed when I look at the usage history with CPU Spy. Over the past 12 hours or so it shows 6% at 1512 MHz at 6%, 1% at 918 Mhz, 25% at 384 MHz and 65% in "Deep Sleep".
That seems pretty reasonable to me.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I think to found the problem that is the cause of battery drain.
I just asked you help to it, but watching with Battery Doctor i think that the cause is the second cpu core that is often at 1600-1700 mhz.
With app like Set Cpu i just tried to set the max frequency to 810-1024 ecc.. but it has effect only for the firts cpu.
How can i stop the second cpu ?
I am using S5 Proyect ROM with BrisK kernel 3.4.0

Hi dude there is an app called CPU governor, is not in the play store but you can look for it on Google i think it could help you!:good::good:
