Has anyone found an app to successfully control the CPU? I have tried SetCPU to underclock but the settings don't stick.

Are you using a custom kernal? If not that's probably why.

I'm not, I'm on stock. However in the past I've been able to under clock stock kernels.

It has to be modified stock kernel. You can't fool with cpu scaling values on complete stock kernel.

That makes sense for over clocking but I've under clocked completely stock kernels on Samsung devices for the last 2.5 years.

I literally just tried it now. Installed Trickstermod, set Max freq to 1.2 Ghz, set on boot, rebooted, and it reset the frequencies back to stock. So no, you can't do it unless it's modified. Also, I remember doing this on my Note 2 and it didn't work on a complete factory stock kernel.

Lol, okay. I'm holding a stock rooted S4 in my left hand. I just downloaded no frills CPU set max to 1566 and it didn't go over that speed, or if it did it wasn't reported. I appreciate you trying to help but while what your saying may be true for HTC, it's not true for kernels in general.

Hmmm, but I do remember my Note 2 doing the same thing with the frequencies. And you're right; I shouldn't generalize. At least we know the One can't do it.

In my attempts while porting the AT&T kernel I noticed the kconfig file has ACPU_CUSTOM_FREQ_SUPPORT set to default as "n" (no). So you will not be able to modify the cpu until I either get the AT&T port booting...or we get source code.
Same goes for the gpu...set to "n" as default.

Hmmmm, strange. I've been using trickster mod for the last several hours and my settings have stuck through two reboots . I enabled the "lock frequencies" option and my max is set to and has not exceeded 1242 MHz. It seems like the file you referenced refers to custom clock speeds. If that is in fact the case then it wouldn't be relevant in this situation since I am not attempting to change the available clock speeds but rather simply change the min and max which seems to be successfully accomplished using trickster mod.

SetCPU issues
I have been having the same issues myself. Mine was set low to 100min/max: screen off just as a test today and it did that to me a on a few seperate occasions. Not sure why, just ended up battery pulling after 10-15 seconds of no response from the phone.
The cpu is set too low on screen off, go for 245 or so
setcpu does not play nice with r phones. i had problems witth it on every kernal i played with. right now im using the mix up kernal. i used setcpu to 1.2ghz max and 100mhz min. conservative governore. i have yet to find a set up to use while the screen is locked with no issues. what i do know is galaxy s phones only like the conservative setting. maybe a 400mhz max 100mhz min with conservastive governore would work?
Make sure setcpu is set to conservative. I set my lowest to 200mhz and max at 1200. No issues here other than sometimes the notification pull down bar is laggy but it does that stock anyway.

The rom don't control the cpu speeds. The kernal does. You cab run any rom kernal combo you would like. In order to hit the 1.4ghz you want you need to run a kernal that is capable of doing so

Is SetCPU really necessary anymore? If you run a kernel that's not locked into performance mode it will scale on it's own even without SetCPU. I haven't installed it on my Epic yet and when monitoring the phone with SystemPanel I see my CPU go down to 200mhz when idle and scale up when processes are running.
Where is the kernel for 1.4? I have baked snack rom max is 1.2 i know kernel is the part that "controlls" speed but I'm stuck. Any help

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.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
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..

Yea! By stock i'm assuming all you did was root. I am currently running SkyRaider 3.5 Sense along with

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?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
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..

I wanted to see if anyone could recommend settings for the Kernel Updater...I'm looking to keep the battery going as long as possible in between charges.
also, if I use this app then I don't need to use SetCPU, correct?
no you dont need set cpu.. everything u need is within that app.

I personally use 192 to ~1200 MHz. With SmartReflex on (disable it if you want to do custom UV).
Play around with Generic Hotplug. It may be good for you and it may not.
I have my governor set to ondemand (it was on interactive but Franco recently changed it back to ondemand as default)
TO EVERYONE WHO USES franco.kernel updater
Please be aware that the "Turn off Thermal Throttling" feature in the latest franco.kernel updater app actually Turns on Throttling down CPU frequency when it reaches more than 70 degree C.. So just remind it that it is Vice Versa
I use ondemand governor, 384 min 1420 Max. Battery life is quite gd for me

Nice app but,why would you want to overclock you'r HOX?
maybe to keep your hands warm
You can underclock and set Power Saver frequency set different values.
Hum, doesnt seems to work.
I set it to 1GHz and check with system tuner time in state, it still shows freqs used above. Iam on franco kernel/Charamander ROM.

i believe some form of tegra power management currently over rides these cpu apps, they will need to be update before they will work.

Hmm.. I tested by running benchmark when I change the value then run benchmark I get lower scores. I don't have hard evidence. But since TP and HOX are using same SoC it's supposed to work rite?

Well i think its just not possible to throttle the CPU speeds at the moment. Didn't find a application that actually works.
SetCPU etc etc all fail at the job. Tegra chip is overruling them all the time it seems.

We probably needs a kerneldeveloper for this magic.....
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

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.

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.
