Need a little help

I am new to the setcpu app I am wondering how do I know how much frequency my min and max should be to help my phone out more. Can anyone help me on that plz?

It will depend on which ROM and kernel you're running, but generally, overclocking doesn't do much good for you. I do however run my Main Max @ 1113 and Min @ 245. I then have a profile set for Screen Off Max @ 245, Min @ 245. This has helped a lot with battery life. This is on CM6.1.1 and the SBC stock kernel.
Also, there are the Scaling options. They will vary based on the kernel you're using. Generally, their names speak for themselves, so pick appropriately. I use Interactive when available, or Ondemand as a second choice. If you choose Performance, you will stay clocked at the highest speed until over ridden by a profile, so don't bother with that one unless it's for testing only.
One thing to think about is that Setcpu doesn't play well with HAVS, so if you're running a kernel with that built in, they will be fighting each other.
Also, if you're running a stock based rom with a stock kernel, you will need to disable Perflock if you want Setcpu to be able to really do it's job. So, while in Setcpu, tap Menu > Perflock Disbaler and attempt to disable perflock. Once it is successful, pick set on boot and close that window. Now Setcpu can work properly and you can start saving battery.
If you're primary goal is to get amazing battery life, I highly reccommend you try some of the new SBC kernels that have trickle charging built in. That's what I've been using since they came out, and it is amazing what a little tweak can do for you. SBC Kernel Thread

Ktweaker profiles? On d2tmo

I'm on free gs3 r6 rom with ktoonsez latest kernels (9-5 & 9-10), I'm using ktweaker but there are ni profiles to use except for screen off. I was looking for something like set cpu profiles. If i try to use set cpu profiles only with ktweaker, my phone gets hot and drains my battery faster, so i guess both of the apps are not compatible. Or what. Thanks for any help and suggestions

im using [ROM] WICKED [v5] Aroma [UPDATE 9/10/12] {ADT} ROM with Zaventh Kernel set to smartass cfq. but i have been wanting to try the ktoonsez kernal where can i find it? i have the s3 us tmobile will it work for me i dont care about battery drain, i like perfomance, and to test think out
thanks
Michael.

That is the ktoonez kernel.

If your going to try out ktoonsez kernel and you have set cpu, Don't use set on boot on set cpu, just enable the profiles and Don't set voltages too. In ktweaker enable overclocking steps but Don't lock frequencies. On both ktweaker and set cpu, you should have the same i/o scheduler, and the same governor. If both of then has a different governor or scheduler and clock speeds it will make the phone hot, i reached almost 40c or maybe more then my phone rebooted by itself, i was playing nova on 2.1ghz max clock. Lol.
Now I'm undervolting with ktoonsez suggestion on his post, and my min clock at 96, max at 1350, ktoonservative governor, sio i/o, and my phone is still fast and smooth. Battery life once never tested as i bring an extra one all the time, and i just bring a retractable usb cable for charging.

[Q] how to use 180mhz leankernel?

Hi new around here. Been trying out the lean kernel after other kernels seem to SoD on me. However I see lean kernel has a 180mhz experimental version so I flashed it and checked out CPU spy it doesn't seem like it uses that MHz. Do I have to do something else to enable it? Do I have to down load trickster mod to under clock it or something or is the kernel supposed to use it automatically ?

Yes, if I'm correct the default MIN for leankernel was 350mhz. Use trickstermod and set CPU min to 180mhz. Make sure to set cpu settings on BOOT there should be a check box on trickstermod for that option

[Q] ARHD with XM Kernel 1.3ghz default?

Hi i have ARHD on my phone with the XM Kernel. I was slightly suprised in the Trickster MOD app, the max clock speed is 1.3ghz. Yes i know i can OC to 1.5 but im not sure what is setting this. When i had ARHD installed with stock kernel it was showing 1.3 as default. I assume that was set by the ROM. But i installed this kernel and still has 1.3 as the default.
Also the default govenor settings for the gaming one has the boost_freq set at 1300000, which is 1.3ghz, that can be changed to 1.5 also. But surely the boost freq would be the max freq no matter if you move the slider to 1.5 in the basic controls? But i would be suprised that the gaming govenor would underclock the cpu, surely for gaming you would want the phone maxed out?
Is this expected with the XM Kernel and the ARHD? And if so, is there any things i can change in the govenor settings to make sure it performs at absolute max?

It's kernel related; Xmisters' kernels since 188 have a hard cap(1.3Ghz) by default, but using trickster mod, or another o/c apk, you can raise it to the stock 1.5Ghz(tick 'set on boot' to ensure it stays at 1.5) The best settings are trial and error, tbh, I use touchdemand/sio though smartmax seems to be the best balance.

Thanks for the answer. i can change it to 1.5 easy enough, but if you look in the govenor control, the boost_freq is is set to 1300000. If i left it at that, would it prevent the cpu from going up to 1.5?

you have sleep (lowest CPU can go), ideal freq(the speed the CPU aims for while awake), touch poke (when you touch the screen), boost (what it boosts too to prevent lag) and max (CPU flat out)
Setting the boost to 1.3 will still allow the could to run at full speed.

That makes sense, cheers. So its probably a good idea to leave it as it is then.

Setcpu and Profiles

With the Setcpu app I set up a profile to help keep my phone a bit more cool (Arizona heat outside don't help -.-) I set it that above 60c change the governor to conservative and pull back 1ghz (from 2.4ghz) but when I see it go active it looks like it only applys it to the first core (Core:0) and not the others I wanted to ask is this normal or how can I get it to change the profile on all cores when it gets hot.
BTW I'm using Slimkat ROM and Temsek 3.60 kernal and using the Developer options to see temp and core activity.
