Best SetCPU Config for Desire

Hello
Does anybody use set cpu with HTC Desire ?
I would like to know wich settings work the best for you. I am trying to get the best compromise between battery life and performance.
Thanks

128MHz - 998MHz ondemand. I get more than enough life out of it. I found that if your using AOSP and not really doing much on it like just texting or calling people, capping the max to about 600MHz or 500MHz if you want, works a dream and you get even longer out of it.

Smartass is better or worse ?

I do not see any real difference between smartass and interactive in term of battery live and performance.
On demand seems to drain slightly faster than smartass.
I set my Desire to 384-1136 with interactive govenor.
I charge it once i a day each time before I go to bed anyways (sleeping time usually23.00 - 05.00), so further battery saving is not necessary to me
Edit...my normal usages are:
Syncs (no auto sync by opening):
Friendstream 4 hrs
News 4 hrs
Weather 6 Hrs
push Yahoomail
push Googlemail
push Whatsapp
push EBuddy
Active background :
Lookout antivirus
No app killer used
Phone calls : about 1-2 hrs each day
Music listening mit DSP add-on : 4 hours
Fruit ninja (man! this is addictive!) : 1 hrs
Browsing (Dolphin HD + Android market) : 2 hrs
welll....every time I charge my battery it is about 15-25% left till out of juice...if I use my phone more than those, I have to charge it earlier (more than once a day)

245 - 985 MHz Conservative give mere 36 hours power and running smooth.

For me the battery has never lasted more than a day... Even on my un-rooted one...

BTW: Battery live depends on many things
1. Your ROM and kernel
2. Your runnning application, syncs, etc.
3. your usage and settings such as cpu freq, display brightnes, airplane mode, etc.
4. Received signal quality.
5. The condition of the battery...is it top fit for example?
It is difficult to measure the battery live.
@atuladhikari : battery live has nothing to do with rooting..

I don't like using any of the other governors since I get lag. I hate lag. OnDemand gets rid of the lag for me. I've had it before where I was using smartass and it took ~30 seconds for my screen to turn back on from idle. I wasn't too impressed.

setcpu
thanks meaple for your advice
i think that set cpu is fine on "ondemand" for some roms and for others roms no
set cpu is included on oxygen settings and running well

Cool, I need to download Setcpu

128-998 ondemand
screen off 128-384 ondemand
in call 128-384 ondemand
I get very good battery and performance with theses settings.

Which app do you guys recommend? Tried overclock widget doesn't seem to be working.
Am on Insertcoin stock GB rom.

DidI do that?....I did.... LOL.

I used to use set cpu
set a profile like
Smartass
on charge - 1113mhz
80% - 100% - 998mhz
59% - 79% - 600mhz
35% - 58% - 500mhz
Screen Off - 300mhz
Priority was higher for lower battery %
BUT I stopped using it because of the little bugs, like when it changes to 384mhz for no reason after unlocking screen
It also affects the standard script with the rom you install, so you can never uninstall it properlu, you have to do a full wipe install and never install it, until I did that my phone was always a little laggy
I prefer my phone without it Each to their own

@shankly1985 - you didn't noticed wakeup lag with 128 MHz?
I must use 245 - x MHz to properly and fast unlock my phone.

Best Setcpu config for Desire is - no Setcpu at all.

I couldn't agree more with you. Experienced all of the above so no go.

245-1033mHZ with smartass give me two day out of my desire loaded with insercoin 1.0.9 with v06 kernel !
I am mostly sending Text message and some calls.

Not at all mate, I get zero lag on my phone. when I check the info on the setcpu app and time in state 128 is at 85% so my phone is using very little cpu.

Setcpu and settings

Hi to all,
Yesterday I flashed a Bindroid Rom.. it seems to be very very optimal for battery consumption.
And then, to improve battery consumption, I would know:
1 - setCPU or similar: in wich way must I set to improve battery charge? (I don't interested in performance, velocity, reactivity, but ONLY on battery consumption on my DHD)
2 - setCPU or similar: what mean governor settings?
Thanks a lot

Try ocbeater apk, seems to be simple..

To reduce battery consumption on your DHD, you might want to know exactly what each governor do. Usually it is set to ondemand in default. Ondemand raise the cpu speed gradually based on system workload. It is a balanced governor for speed and energy saving. You can adjust its threshold value and powersave bias to suit your needs.
For more energy saving, it is recommended to use conservative as your governor. It tends to reduce the cpu speed below the actual need. In other words, it sacrifices performance for more juice for your DHD.
Edit: Powersave governor is not recommended as it will force the cpu speed to the lowest speed available which mean super lag.

Ok. Now I try ocuvbeater. I set to conservative but min and max freq? 245760 min and 768000 max now.. could be ok?

Yep, that would do just fine. Also, adding a sleep/wake profile can boost the battery life even more. Then observe and compare the battery life between now and then. Try to play with the app and fine tune the settings to suit your need.

Given that I have never use OC/UV Beater, I don't know exactly the setting is, but I could tell from the pictures that it has no sleep profile. All the other configs are all correct.

The link is broken. What I meant earlier is your "sleep" profile is somewhat set on battery low trigger, not screen off.

Improving SOT without crippling performance

I see alot of people here claiming to have 6 hours of SOT on regular basis.
I dont see that is possible unless the phone is running whole day on 0% brightness with airplane mode on.
Is there any trick I'm missing on or what?

yes, root your device, install trickster mod, and put your cpu with noop and governor ondemand and min. 374mhz max. 1574mhz, and your gpu on powersave profile with 330Mhz on GPU! and of course lowering the brightness depending of your needs, if yu are outside you need to raise it, but if inside you can lower it!
i have ~6:40 OST with that settings

no, my performance is good, no lag, no nothing...i cant see any problem with my device...with this is perfect to me!
i'm not a gamer, so i only play casual games on it and use basic stuff like music, camera and web browsing...and i tell you: my performance is superb!
because i have my phone bloat free, apllyed some mod's to build.prop and etc etc, is not only the trickster mod who gives to my phone this performance even with this settings!

Best kernel configuration (for rooted G4) to improve speed and battery

With root we can modify some kernel parameters of a stock or modded kernel. What is the best configuration you have found to improve speed and battery?
I start first.
ROM Genisys 3.4 Marshmellow 6.0
Kernel SuperXe 1.6 (stock cpu freq)
App Kernel Adiutor
CPU Governor (for big and LITTLE cores): interactive
GPU Governor msm-adreno-tz
Adreno idler: on
Scheduler I/O: Zen with 512kB Read-ahead (for internal memory); BFQ with 2048kB Read-ahead (for external SD - 64GB)
TCP congestion: Westwood
Doze settings: GeraldRudi profile
With that settings, apps and games run fast and smooth and I have a great battery life for a day full of work. And yours?

Stock.
Everything runs fast and stable. Battery lasts all day, 4h SoT :good:

I am the battery champion around here - lol
I routinely get 22-30 hours!
running Stock 20B, rooted, unlocked bootloader and a few little tweaks here and there (chase down what apps are running when idle and kill them off if not necessary with Autostarts or similar program and debloat anything your do not need - I use Link2SD and convert system apps to user apps then reboot and uninstall them)
and don't run silly stuff you don't need, such as CPU governor - the one already running on your phone works as well as any, having two just wastes CPU time and confuses things

22 hours SoT indeed is very impressive. 22 hours runtime is nothing special, at all :good:

your comment seems silly, what kind of moron would keep his screen on continuously for 22 or 30 hours?
like when you are talking on the phone, typically don't need the screen on for that! - or using the phone for music, or as a wifi hotspot, etc.
the trick I was trying to convey here is to keep the screen *off* as much as possible, and as few apps and processes running as possible, both background and foreground!
but I certainly didn't mean the phone was idle either, it's always being used :good:

So the result is normal and/or really bad, without stating the SoT.
22/30 hours is nowhere near champion level, at all. Hence my ironic remark.

Is Redmi note 8 pro locked at 2 GHz normal?

i've been using this phone for about 2 years now and recently moved (about a few months ago) to using a custom rom (crdroid 7.1.2). it was running smooth and cool until day the clockspeed decided to lock itself at 2000 MHz (checked using cpu-z). I do not know if this is normal but the phone's temperature goes up to 36C on idle. i thought the problem was with the Lspeed app (+custom kernel) so i uninstalled it but it didn't work. I also factory resetting it, but still not luck. will updating the firmware resolve my issue? if not, what other available solutions are there?

have you thought about flashing the stock kernel ?

do you use a case ? does your phone goes over 45 degrees celsius when charging ?

If you are using Fast Charging, that heating is entirely normal (happens to me too)
But heating during idle is not normal. Try changing CPU governor to something else. (like schedutil or powersave)

Do you know how to change cpu governor? I tried doing it last night but didn't find a whole lot of information. Schedutil seems to just set it all the way to 2ghz, so I want to change it to powersave

use Rootify, select the CPU tab located at the top then change it.
The app sometimes gets stuck at Loading screen though.

ok so it does work when i change the cpu govenor, but the only option that actually works is 'powersave' (as well as 'userspace'). all the other ones still sets it to 2GHz. 'userspace' seems to have a somewhat of an improvement but it's only setting everything to a constant value. is there a way have it set to balanced mode?

powersave forces the processor to work in the lowest frequency availible, thus consuming less power.
userspace allows the app to set the CPU frequency whatever it wants. This isn't supposed to be used in Android since changing CPU speed thorough an app is super uncommon.
Others like ondemand normally keep the power low but starts using the higher frequencies if a processor intensive app is launched.
You can learn which governors do what in this post so you can set the most suitable one for you.
