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.

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.

Ok thanks for the info! I'll play with it and see if I get better battery.

When I have beastmod flashed alone (pretty sure its using stock kernel) and when I flash jugs .02 kernel. no matter what I set it at while using demand governor my min frequency keeps going to 384 on my first cpu. my second does seem to stay at 918 which is what I set it it at.. Is this normal?
Tried using setcpu and system tuner . both have same effect except set cpu min slider will stay at where I set it, system tuner will revert to 384
anyone have any idea? driving me nuts.

Mine does the same on both apps only difference is with system tuner is that sometimes the min actually goes higher to about 1.5 but then I close it and check again and it's back at 384 while the second CPU stays at where I set it..

I am on both jugs and beastrom and my overclock/underclock stays what I set it at but I do know that my brightness settings go back to automatic every time I reboot even though I set it on minimal brightness.
I am only using set cpu so maybe I'll advise removing tuner app

I was using setcpu before I tried tuner. I know ur slides stay the same but when u switch outta the app and go back is ur mhz displaying 384 or ur minimum

anyone have any idea why this happens?
I have the same exact thing on juggernaut 2.0 running synergy kernel 0.02. On another note I also have solved the problem with the brightness (I think) by just going into settings and adjusting it manually in display rather than using a brightness widget or some other way to adjust it.
I'm having the same problem on SkyICS RC7 Speed w Faux kernel. Max settings stays put, minimum setting resets to match it. If I sit on the setting screen in system tuner, it works fine. As soon as I back out of the screen, it resets.
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

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.

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.

ive been running ICS since i got my phone, the battery life was horrible until i fixed the power profile, but even after that my phone's battery was not that good. i decided to flash CM10, then i switched to AOKP, both of them are awesome, but i noticed that the battery wasnt that good either, i got the ktonnsez kernel. i tried other governors, they all stay at maximum (1512MHz) after about 5 minutes of a reboot. i tried basically everything, reflash every thing, wiped everything possible. I need help plz, i wanna enjoy my S3 without worrying about the battery dying.
its all normal when i start my phone, but after 5 minutes it just stays at maximum CPU...idk why plz help im on galaxy s3 ATT i747M...i searched everywhere but still didnt find the answer
If you flashed kt747 you need to use the ktweaker app that comes with the kernel. When you find this app you need to check the two boxes into general settings

Have you solved this yet?
Try a different governor. Personally I use on demand and noop for the scheduler.
Make sure you don't have any other overclocking programs which may be conflicting. I used to use SetCPU but with the toonz kernel I get Ktweaker. So I got rid of SetCPU.
Funny yours is locking at maximum. Mine used to lock at 96Mhz and run like crap. The above method worked for me. Don't forget to make sure your running the most updated kernel, wipe cache/dalvik/fix permissions.

Tyvm, i did what u told me and its working for now, i was using ktweaker the whole time, but i like to check my current speed in ROM control, idk why maybe cuz the numbers are bigger? ;P im still not sure if its going to work for a long time, i did a reflash yesterday, i charged my phone at 100 percent last night, and it was sitting on low frequency, when i woke up, i was suprised to see a 6% drop of the battery, leaving me 94% left. but the speed was at 1512. and cell standby was using most of the battery.

TY, ive tried switching governors before and it didnt work. But when i tried this morning, it worked... really strange.
Idk if it will last long, my phone likes to jump around from normal to maximum without me even touching the phone
Use ktweaker instead of the rom settings. Go to the performance section in settings and disable set on boot. Then, go to ktweaker and set as "apply settings immediately after boot". Once you're done, set to whatever you want it to be.
