Set cpu with stock kernel droid incredible

I just rooted my incredible and I'm using the kernel that came with it stock. I disabled perflock and I left the max speed to 998 and the min speed to 245.
When I'm not doing anything on my incredible, I see that the speed constantly changes from the max to the min. Not even one second passes before it just goes back and forth, back and forth. Is this normal?
Coming from the d1 where it would stay at the min when idle, I'm not sure if what's going on with my incredible is normal.

Yes that's normal. For better battery life, I'd try a kernel with smartass governor. It spends more time on the lower frequencies.

Switching to a different kernel will give you the ability to overlook//underfoot the system needed.. this in turn increases battery life.. kingklick, ziggy's, chad's kernel are all well known kernels.. you will want to play with different kernels.. not every kernel will be stable to overlook to certain speeds on certain Rom's.. switching kernels is almost as addictive as switching roms.. always nandroid before flashing anything..

Will those kernels work on my rooted stock incredible?

Yea! By stock i'm assuming all you did was root. I am currently running SkyRaider 3.5 Sense along with
"2.6.32.26-ubcredujuerbek-12082010 [email protected] #11"
I will edit with links to these two items.

Chad's Kernel - Incredikernel
My phone runs amazingly fast with sense but yet, even with heavy usage (Texting constantly, on the internet, gmail, even Fring) I can go an easy 24 hours on one charge. If my phone stays screen-off idle I could last at 95%-100% for several hours.

Yes, all I did was root.
Does the chad kernel provide wireless tether and will i still need to disable perflock in setcpu?

the non stock kernels all disable perflock already, you do not need to do it..
flash the kernel via clockwork, and you are set.. jump into setcpu and adjust some settings and add profiles.. you'll be golden..

Not quite. I believe Lou's has some tweaks within perflock, so disabling it would lose those.
And most kernel devs, particularly Lou and the ones who use HAVS, advise against using SetCPU. I'd check with your chosen kernel thread for details.

Also, I wouldn't 'set on boot', at least till you find frequencies that your phone can handle safely. Otherwise, you'll get a 'crash' loop, where your phone starts up just fine, but once you go past the initial lockscreen it'll crash and reboot. Very annoying...

what rager said... ive put on kernels and ran em high only to get a "boot loop".. its tuff to get out of cause you need to get back into setcpu to scale back otherwise it keep on going.... i learned to put the setcpu app icon on my main screen so i can get there fast to scale back..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866736 can you install these with the stock rom. i wanted to experiment to get better battery life but didnt really want to install a different one.

Yeah, if you let it boot loop too long it'll hard boot, which is where the phone cuts off completely. That has happened to me, and it ruins apps.

Wifi on cm7....

Quick question. I'm using cm7 #8 and am having a hard time staying connected to my wifi router. As long as I am using my phone and screen is on, it will stay connected. If I let my phone sleep for a bit then it loses connection. Using stock kernel. Running setcpu at stock speed...only using it to keep at 245mhz while screen off to save battery. Also using autokilllr memory manager set on "aggressive". Any help would be appreciated.

You need to be posting this on CM's forums, or sending in a bug report with them. (I've never done bug reporting on CM) CM #7 is not their stable release, you're either running a nightly, which are known to have bugs, or a version of CM7 that someone modded into their own rom.
TL;DR version: CM7 is still buggy. Wait for the release instead of using a nightly.

Go to Settings; Wireless and Networks; Wifi Settings and press menu. Select Advanced and then Wifi Sleep policy and change it to never. This is a known bug in CM releases since the 6.1.2 stable release and this is how you fix it for now.

You are the man! I knew it was a simple setting that I missed. Have a good day!

Random instant reboot?

I've been on aokp milestone 5.2 for a few days and I didn't know if it was related to the rom or something I did or whatever but I'll be texting or on Facebook or doin something and my phone will just go to the boot animation of the pink unicorn. And I should probably mention that the colors are out of whack for a few seconds before it goes back to normal and boots up.
Edit: Everything's still there when it boots up everything's where it should be and nothing is missing or anything it just literally reboots instantly without warning or notice.
Edit: Could it be that I'm using advanced task killer? I figured it was okay since it was on the high security level setting, just throwing that out there
Thanks for any help.

I've got no help but I can say that this ROM ran totally smooth for me for a while and then suddenly got laggy, and apps have begun not responding regularly.

It is usually either a kernel panic or running out of RAM. You could try the V6 Supercharger for the RAM issue. As for the other I would always try odin clean stock then root and flash ROM and do not restore any data. Download and reinstall 3rd party apps fresh.

Use to happen to me also when i was on AOKP. I only noticed it when i was listening to my music tho....all my VC settings stayed the same after it booted back up so like you said it was just a random reboot. I installed V6 and that worked for the most part. The reboots did start back later on down the road tho.....

If by stock battery you mean the battery it came with then yes. I'm also running aggressive settings with v6 supercharger.
My only real concern was if it was damaging my phone in any way, or if something had already been damaged. But as I've said I really can't see anything out of whack aside from the reboots and colors. (the colors get inverted or negative or something for a few seconds on pink unicorn boot animation then goes back to normal and boots up)

This also happens to me. Same way. But usually when backing out of a text or when ending a phone call. Stock battery. V6 and no v6. Stock kernel and nyan, sammi, and shadow. What I noticed about the reboot is that it doesn't scan sd card or media.

Solution to this is to go back to a TW based rom...try sleeper or the peoples rom, joy and profit

[Q] AOKP w/ Ktoonsez kernel CPU stuck at maximum frequency

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.

[Q] My S3 doesn't like to wake up from a sleep

Okay guys, I've tried everything I can think of, but I just can't seem to get this phone stable. Running several different ROMs (Dandroid, Carbon, Liquidsmooth, Cyanogen, AOKP) this phone frequently will not wake up out of a sleep state and requires I hold power for 10 seconds to hard power off or pull the battery and reboot. It happens with stock clocks/governors/schedules and it happens with custom setups/OC's. I've tried bumping my min mhz up to 500mhz, which seems to work a little better, but at least once a day I have to reboot this phone due to it not coming out of a sleep. It's driving me crazy! I use my phone as my alarm clock, and at least twice a week my alarm doesn't sound off because the phone locks up in a sleep state in the middle of the night. My notification LED still works, so it's doing something, I just can't wake it up. Anybody have any other suggestions?

What's the last AOKP version you tested?
Also, seems like your phone isn't handling the 3.4 kernel very well. I'd suggest going back to a 3.0 ROM/kernel.

agreed. a 3.0 rom/kernel and a full wipe (including system).

I'm currently on a 3.0 kernel and it just locked up in a sleep state 5 minutes ago. I'm currently running Carbon 1.6.1 with the KT 3.0 kernel. The 3.4 kernel was completely unstable above and beyond just sleep state lockups, so I went back to running a 3.0-based ROM.

haha. thats about as long as mine was on stock. so you've done a complete wipe (data, cache, dalvik, system) before these flashes? have you tried to odin back to stock, wiping and proceeding with flashing a ROM?
maybe odin back to stock (then wipe data and cache) and see how the phone treats you for 24 hours. if it locks/crashes again, you've got bad hardware, buddy. at that point, i would set it up for an exchange. otherwise, if it's stable, proceed with more testing. it could be a specific app thats causeing this. if you odin back, just install the most basic apps you need. maybe install the rest one at a time throughout the day until the error presents itself, if thats really what it is.

I always wipe system, data, dalvik, and cache when romming. I recently odin'd it and it was fine for a while, but now it's back to locking up again. I might just hook it up to my laptop tonight before bed, fire up ddms, and hope it locks up so I can see why.

Do as suggested flash stock ROM and see how the phone likes it. You need to see if the issue is hardware or software. Only way to do that is to have it on stock for longer than 10 minutes and see if it locks up

So I think I figured it out. It was the lock screen itself! I was using a PIN unlock earlier. I switched to a pattern lock and it hasn't died during a sleep in 2 days now. Maybe there's a problem with Android 4.2 and the PIN screen?

This is the only thread I could find with this problem. At least once a day I can't get the screen to turn on but the notification light is working. I have to hold the power button or pull the battery.
I'm on Liquidsmooth 2.1 official and before I had rooted this phone, this problem did not occur.
I was using the normal slide lockscreen but I'll try a pattern lock like you did to see if it's fixed.

The point stands, it's a problem with 3.4 kernel. Some devices simply don't like it atm.
You can try changing your minimum frequency as well as your scheduler/governor but chances are that you'll need to revert back to a 3.0 ROM/kernel until there are more updates on the ROM you're using.

You should try AOcP ROM
Its on 3.4 kernel and not one single reboot or sleep death reported on the thread.
There is also a 3.0 version that runs amazing as well
