Inability to set CPU freq on Hero

The hero seems to ignore changed CPU speed or simply resetting it to default value immediately. At least it does on my Modaco and also on my coworkers HTC Magic running Hero-based ROMs.
Does anyone know why? Is it in the custom ROM, the kernel or some HTC modification to the android build?
I would like to see if you could save some batterylife by lowering CPU Max while screen is off and see how low you can go and still use Spotify and other apps without issues.

1. how do you set cpu frequency?
2. with the program set-cpu (or something like that) it is at the moment not possible..

I'm aware that it is not possible hence my question if anyone knows why so we can try to find a solution. Same goes for brightness which also resets immediately. Is this kernel, modified android or what?

I have made a user.conf file that runs hero at full and addd to my roms, Ithink modaco has a user.conf file also
you might want to download setspu! work like a charm!

not the kernel its in the build.prop for screen settings, also the user.conf plays a big roll!

setcpu does not work for me, at least not on original firmware

I've tried both Overclocker Widget and SetCPU and both give same results. They seem to be able to change the settings but they are immediately reset to default values.
Using SetCPU if i change max to something like 480 and set it it looks like it works but hitting refresh it shows that CPU is running at 528 and that max setting is still 528. Issue was the same with Modaco V2.1 and DDR V2.0 and also on a coworkers HTC Magic running some Hero-based ROM (possibly based on Modaco he was not sure)
Also if you try to change the screen brightness using any tool makes the screen change brightness for a moment and then autosets to whatever value the Hero seems to think is appropriate (light sensor?)
Could you try using SetCPU to lower the CPU max and hit refresh to verify it has not been reset to 528?

user.conf location
Where to I have to put the user.conf in the filesystem on a rooted Hero with stock ROM ?
Thanks,

Guys,
I am using setcpu and able to set my max cpu to 528 and min to 480. I am running MCR 2.8 ...

528 Max and 480 Min is default on the Hero. The question is if you can set it LOWER to save battery like if you have apps running that won't let it go to sleep.

hi drizzy could you tell me how to make a user.conf file to make hero run at full 528 speed all the time and how to place it onto my hero.
thankyou

Check out the rooting guides, you should be able to type it pretty much as it says (starting with "echo") on one line and that should do it once you're at the root shell (#)

would you be so kind to share it with us? i have no idea how it should look like, and there is not really information about it on the devs homepage... i would appreciate it.

If you recompile a kernel with "performance" governor as default, you'll run at full all the time.

2.3.5 rom slow graphics

I see people report that new rom is fast in graphics and slow in cpu response but for some reason i'am getting oppposing results
I am using this rom now... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361368
Reading through 3-4 messages is slugish and its not smooth and angry birds thend to lag.When i was using older jakintaru rom(salsa port) my phone was flying and games where smooth.Anyone have any idea what can i do to make it better?(any tweaks,tried clearing caches)Tnank you in advance

When I referred to faster graphics and slower CPU scores I was referring to the stock RUU of that release.
Rather than Jikantaru's release I installed the stock and let it upgrade my radio, hboot etc.
I have no Supercharger V6 or kernal scripts on it.
I used Link2SD rather than App to SD and any widget app or app that needs good priority on boot, like Set CPU, Battery Monitor Pro, Superuser, etc, I leave on Internal and don't make links to the second EXT2 partition.
Boots nice and fast then and becomes responsive sooner.
I also use Rom Toolbox Pro and define the various startup apps, freeze out system apps that I don't need and leave widgets unloaded that I don't need.
I also make use of the default memory tweak from RTP and the SD card read speed tweak.
I use Green Power for battery and wifi management as well. Works well.
All in all it has allowed me to install 400 MB of apps and I still have 50 MB of internal memory free, plenty of system memory free at all times for things like in memory processing of camera filters, etc, and a responsive, fast booting system.

Tnx m8 for sharring what do you use
Where did you get stock img for flashing?

It seems like you are just too laze or you want everybody in the forum to show you everything without searching...

I prefer Jik's Salsa ROM, it looks and feels exactly the same as the 2.3.5 update in my opinion, response feels the same etc.

OK, sorry about my manner but there are lots of people just thinking that the other members are supposed to sort the info for them and I was a little bit nervous after I read some other threads.
We all have to help each other not only with knowledge but with time spending too, I hope the people will become more principle and will request things just after they tried (no matter if they are sure) to find the info themselves.
Regards

I'm using the stock RUU 2.3.5 release and it's much faster, graphics and all.

Agreed. It's what I've been running on and I've tried every rom on here over the last month.
Off to play with the Salsa Euro 101 with the OC kernel mod and remove Data2SD in exchange for Link2SD.
I would love the Stock RUU 2.3.5 with an overclockable kernel. Nothing else fancy except the ability to have min 19mhz max 806 mhz.

Yeah,i will now install stock and wait for the overclocked kernel and i hope we can then stop flashing our phones every few daysFor now i think we can use that stock 2.3.5 with supercharger scripts couse they do verry nice(lag fix) in my pnone

After installing official rom and some testing i can also confirm that this rom is fastest i have ever triedIt works verry nice,smoth and graphics is great,cheers

Slow backups on TWRP 2.7.0.3?

Has anyone Experienced slow backups on your M8 with TWRP? I'm doing a backup and it has taken almost an Hour and my Rom is a Stock Rom with not a lot of apps and no photos / videos.
Any ideas?

Have you referenced the size of stock Rom comparative to rom you are used to backing up on the other device? May e stock is just larger now. That said, seems a lil long tho

I have always had HTC devices, my previous device was an M7 and this backup seems to be on average with what Im used to backup, about 4GB. thats why it seems strange to be taking soo long.
BTW, its still backing up ( or pretending to be)

yes, latest version of TWRP, but I think I found the problem. I selected to compress the backup, I cancelled the previous backup and ran it again without compression and ran in like 3 minutes.
Thanks for the help!

CPU Frequency stuck at 1.2 ghz. tried all apps

I am using Samsung galaxy grand stock 4.2.2.
On checking via no frills cpu control I found that the cpu frequency is stuck at 1.2ghz.
it shows
max frequency : 1.2ghz
min frequency : 1.2ghz
I tried changing frequency with no frills cpu control , voltage control , setcpu . But I am unable to change the frequency.
Please give a solution ASAP.
More Details :
1. I was on stock NG3 firmware build.
2. I flashed @k2wl's evolution kernel for stock.
3. I faced bluetooth issues.
4. I flashed stock MK3 firmware.
5. Now I am facing this problem

You cant change CPU frequency on stock kernel i believe.. try using some other kernel

You were unable to understand me.
I didn't want to overclock.
I wanted to set lower frequency limit.
Check the screenshot to see what I mean.
I tried applying Requested

Okay may be!!
You were trying to underclock, still u need a custom kernek i believe, just try flashing a custom kernel, but the sad part is, there are no great custom kernels for stock 4.2.2.

Have you used Samsung galaxy grand or can you ask someone who has this device ?
As far as I remember , I was able to underclock but now I am unable to.

If thats the case do a trial and error method... If u had updated to the latest version of the ROM, there may be difference. You might had got the different experience in an older version of the ROM. Anyway, you are your own!! I cant provide any info more than this. I did tried the same, and i got similar experience and i tried with a custom kernel, i found the result, and understand that is the only reason i said so.. That was my humbe suggestion, you can take it or leave it!!

helped alot bro thankss

Try rom toolbox..... It forces the system to overclock the cpu......

in 4.1 stock when u selected the battery saving mode it used to under clock the processor to 800mhz but in 4.2 it doesn't under clock in battery saving mode. if u r extremely determined about under clocking the cpu then better switch to a custom rom bro.

After waiting for a looong time , I have concluded that there's no solution apart from custom kernels or roms.
Anyways , thanks to you guys for your support

Oneplus 5T 5.1.2 CPU load issue

I noticed my 5T was draining more battery after 5.1.2, all previous versions were fine.
CPU-Z and other monitoring tools cannot read the CPU load and the cpu 0/1/2/3 never goes below 518mhz, and CPU 4/5/6/7 never goes below 806 mhz. Someone is not right and chewing through battery... can anyone here confirm this for 5.1.2?

Try flashing a custom kernel. If you're rooted with Magisk, flash the uninstaller first. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.4/Magisk-uninstaller-20180429.zip
I recommend SimpleGX Kernel v5.2, as it will lower your CPU frequencies to 300 MHz and it's pretty much flash and forget. https://mega.nz/#F!hLYX2aST!eGK6E2N-MOjJ5V5BwRgfuA!QKoAnJpL v5.2 is the last version listed in the folder.
Steps:
1. Flash kernel
2. Flash Magisk
3. Reboot

Thanks for the detailed guide Bud, but I was hoping for some confirmation from others and possibly a mainstream fix without going down the custom firmware path.

It is a mainstream change from CAF:
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/.../?id=fa1df42427fc2c3ba5255d2e8593bb292d8fac55
So this won't be "fixed" and it's not a bug. Anyway, you can always use a kernel manager app to set the min freq to whatever you want or you can edit the post_boot.sh back to 300000.

What is the easiest way to achieve this? is it possible without root?

Sorry. Without rooting your phone, there's nothing you can do. The stock kernel is set to those frequencies by default.

Interesting update: I flashed back to 5.1.1 and the drain issue is gone. The CPU usage is still 518 / 806 MHz but the battery drain is around 100-150 mA instead of 250'ish mA for 5.1.2
