So ive installed and uninstalled some overclocking apps, and now i cant change my cpu frequency anymore. Well i can change them in trickster mod, for example, but it doesnt seem to affect anything.
See screenshots to see what i mean.
Its always running on either 1500 or 380mhz. So it ignores my set min freq.
I also cant edit /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_maxfreq and minfreq. Is this just info about the min and max applicable frequencies?
Stock settings are min 1026 and max 1512
The app i used to make changes with was cputuner and i uninstalled it the correct way. I set it at min 384 first. And before uninstalling i set it to 1026, but even then the cpu would sometimes run at 384mhz...
What do i do to get stock settings back and/or get my cpu to listen to triclstermod?
Im running the latest elementalx kernel. Would reflashing the kernel help?
Edit 2 what the problem basically is: the cpu just seems to ignore my settings. If i set the min freq to 1026, it will sometimes run at 594 mhz.

I cant add photos to my first post... Sorry.
Its not that its a bad thing, but if it scales down to 593mhz, it must only do so because i set it at that min freq. I just need to make sure the device does as it's told before i start undervolting.

cm7 said its default cpu speed is set at 1000mhz.. but when i use quadrant standrad/ quick system info to check my cpu range, it shows that my cpu is at 800MHz.. I have checked my settings both in the cyanogen settings and the boot menu.. i am choose 1000MHz .. but the cpu is still stick at 800MHz.. How can i turn it to 1000MHz, may i use setvsel ??
anyone help??
during bootup, press volume down key when you see the LED in "Blue". You can find a Overclock menu, adjust accordingly.
I notice Milestone OC, n SetVSel doesn't save settings on CM7-Defy
i have try that.. but the setting in bootmenu did not really apply ...
no matter i press set default or save..
Hi,
I'm using cm7-110615-1323-BOOT177-Jordan.zip and everything works as it should.
I'm using the widget called "Temp+CPU V2" from the Market and it showes clocks between 300 and 1000 MHz. CPU-load, Temp and used RAM also works fine.
Make sure you don't have your middle frequency set to 800. For some reason that was causing me similar problems, but all has been good since I changed the middle freq to 790...

It doesnt work..my cpu and battery vsel setting still at the stock value.. which is 33/300,48/600,58,800
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
When I look at system settings it shows the following
Current (300-1000)
Min (300)
Max (800)
Min is 300, Max is 800. However current has been 300 - 1000. So this measures the current setting and it can be higher than the 'max'.
Try another tool to measure your cpu freq, setvesl has a decent one.

I am running Bionic cow v7.
Why the minimum clock speed is set to 245Mhz instead of 122Mhz?
Shouldn't setting it to 122Mhz saving a lot of battering while idle?
You can set it as you like using setcpu. It depends on you. Cause default setting is always set to 245mhz.

Yes I know, I am actually using No-frills CPU Control that is free.
I was hoping somebody already did a benchmark to see how changing that setting affects the performances and the battery
Well, I am rooted and on cyanogenmod 10.1..
If I understand corrrctly, you can underclock the device with just an app?
If so, what app can I use (considering its DHD rooted with CyanogenMod 10.1)?

I think the reason I like the Andrev OC Daemon is because you can automate it to use a lower CPU setting when in deep sleep.
For example, when the screen is on, you can set the max CPU to 1.2 MHz, and set it to reduce this to 256 KHz when you lock your phone.
So easy to use, and the battery lasts an incredible duration longer. I've had 0% decrease in battery for the past 2 hours with the phone on, but on standby.
Highly recommended.

Sorry if i misunderstood, but there are performance settings in Settings menu of CM 10.1.So i have set max CPU frequency to 806 MHz and min to 149 MHz and marked "set on boot". Isn't it underclocking ? Off course you can't undervolt the CPU, but he asks just to underclock.

Yes, that would be underclocking, which has shown results in battery improvements. Essentially, you are trading speed for battery life and its all about getting the balance right.
Obviously, when the screen is turned off, and the phone is inactive, you do not need the CPU to hit heights of 806 MHz, which is where Andrev OC Daemon comes in..
You can set it so that the phone uses up to 806 MHz when active, yet not exceed 149 MHz when the screen is inactive.
I have seen VAST improvements in my battery life using this OC/UC tool.
And I really can't over-exaggerate the 'vast' in that sentence..

Hey Guyzzz..!!
We all having a issue in STOCK ROM to Underclock or Overclock the cores using SetCPU, as the changes won't apply to all cores. YES!!!, Kernel didn't support that feature. But here is a simple way to overcome this problem and hope you'll like this cool feature tooo...
DON'T TURN ON ECOMODE AS IT MESS UP WITH SETCPU SETTINGS
Steps:
Turn off ECOMODE
Install SetCPU app from Playstore
Open app & Set Max freq to 594 and Min freq to 384 in Main tab and Click Set on boot
Customize profiles according to your wish (For Games give max freq as 1512ghz ...etc...)
Open RootExplorer
Copy the file /system/etc/thermald-8064.conf to sdcard (Backup the file)
Open the file thermald-8064.conf from /system/etc in text editor
Scroll down and change the values 1512000 &1188000 to 594000 (Refer Screenshot to change the settings)
Change the GPU values to 400000 (Refer same screenshot)
Save and exit
Change permission to rw--r--r--
Restart
To confirm whether these settings working properly, Download chainfire's Perfromance Monitor app
Now if you change freq in Setcpu, it'll be applied to all cores....:good::good:
**594000 is the recommended value and do not use 384000 or 486000 which slows down the boot of mobile**
If this thread is Useful, Pls Rate as 5Star and Hit Thanks too...
Thanx hassan, I will give it a go on the weekend and report back

I did exactly step by step as you provided. Nevertheless I did not manage to apply the set speed restrictions to all the 4 cores, but only to one. Namely using the Performance Monitor app, the "cpu0" indeed did not cross 594, but "cpu1", "cpu2" and "cpu3" went till 1512. So what could be the case?
Best regards

Have yu given the proper permission to the file in /system/etc...?? Also dont turn on eco mode it wont overwrite the setcpu settings.... For me everything is wrking cool...

I did not have to give the proper permissions, as they were already before and after editing rw-r-r. Also the ECO mode was turned off already weeks ago. After editing I rebooted the phone as well...Do not understand why it´s not working for me?
Locked bootloader should not affect this. Right?

Yep. I did everything as provided in your screenshot, including changed all the "thresholds" and "thresholds_clr" values to the ones you prescribed.
One thing I presumably did not do was setting up profiles in SetCPU. I just set the max and min frequencies, after what happened that only one core managed to stay within the limitations, other 3 did what they wanted

Erm...What do you mean with this?
I just tried once more. Did everything step by step. The result is the same - PerMon shows "cpu0" as I set in SetCPU 384-594, other three cores are running up to 1512 :silly:

However, while messing around with the SetCPU and the 8064.conf file, I noticed the following. Namely that the SetCPU could handle the 4 cores simultaneously with the stock conf file as well, but only then when you upgrade the max speed up, not down. For example with the stock conf file I set the min freq in SetCPU 384 and max 594, rebooted and then PerMon showed that none of the 4 cores exceeded 594. Then for example I set the max to 1350 and again none of the 4 cores exceeded 1350. But then when I lowered the max to 1026, then only the 1st core named in PerMon "cpu0" did not exceed the limit while the rest 3 cores went up to the last max speed (i.e to 1350). If I then rebooted, then again all the 4 cores adhered to the latest min/max frequencies, which in case of my example was min 384 and max 1026, which were the latest frequencies I set in SetCPU.
I hope my explanation is clear enough.

Ya yu are absolutely ryt... It doesn't apply the settings to all core when changing the freq in main tab... But if yu create profile for the apps with max and min freq that tym it works flawlessly....!!

My cpu is scaling to 900mhz, any one can help me to fix this at 300 mhz. I tried a lot of apps but nothing change, is there a tool to modify the cpu freq in the kernel ?

What cpu frequency to set for gaming and also for battery saving
In No-frills Cpu set Governor to powersave and also go to nofrills cpu settings and check prevent changes from other apps.
However it may cause unexpected behaviour like hangs and slow down so better stay bit above of 300Mhz.

Delete the thermal engine file. Then go to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
There you'll see two files at the bottom ~ scaling_max_freq and scaling_min_freq
Change the values in them. See if it works.
EDIT: Seems like you already tried it.

Check apply on boot in no frills cpu. However it wont always stay on 300 bcoz its based on performance. if you want it to stay near to 300 always then reduce max freq. If it still doesnt work and you are on miui then change your rom...Try using mokee rom.
