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.
Hi all
i just changed my rom from PA 2.22 to xylon 006 and i think i am suffering from some battery drain issue but i am not very sure ...
first off when i was using PA i am able to get about 18 hours of battery with 3 hours of screen time ( about 100% - 10% ) on stock PA kernel by the way , while on xylon my battery life is11 hours and 30 minutes with 2 hours of screen time ( 100% - 0% ) on Trinity kernel 1420 - 384
( stock/ franco kernel creates a yellowish screen on my phone whereas trinity kernel fixes it ) i heard 4.2 have some issues with battery and i am not really complaining just trying to make sure , oh i just bough setcpu from playstore and i realized i can change the scheduler ( noop , deadline etc ) and some weird stuff called interactive , ondemand etc ..so should i meddle with it ? how should i tweak it to get maximum battery life?
While i am on Trinity on dark PA 4.1.2, I know the kernel has some problems for now with 4.2 so i suggest you try Franco and install Trickster MOD app from the play store. Its free.
When installed, just apply the Trinity colors in screen section. Voilà!
Or reflash Xylon twice then the kernel. This might not be the kernel fault. Could be one gapp sucking all the juice... have you installed spyCPU and better battery stats to see which app was running?

kays thanks for the great advice downloading the app now! still what is the difference between franco and trinity kernel?
Hello,
I search the best rom official or custom and the best kernel for the battery, only the battery.
Can you help me because i had only a utilisation intensive!!
Best regards

at the moment i use the android revolution hd 6.0 rom with a perseus 29.1 kernel. the battery drain is 1,5%/h (betterbatterystats: 2d 42m battery 25%) and the cpu setting is stock. i will see if it change after the next charging.
i already downloaded the redpill rev1.00 kernel and i want to test it the next time.
unfortunately i've got some l2_hsic wakelocks with the perseus kernel (2h in 2 days) and will see what happens with the redpill kernel.

ROM and Kernel have only a small effect on battery life. The main culprits are processes that wake the phone up from deep sleep and engage the CPU or data transmittion.
When I lowered all auto-update intervals of apps from once-per-30-minutes to once-per-4 hours, my battery life nearly doubled itself.
i presume that you already disabled/lowered these "useful" things to improve your batterylife.
i don't play games on my cellphone, just some surfing and calling on viber (2-3h per day) however my battery lasts longer compared to the stock rom.
[Q] Best settings/tweaks to maximize battery life. w/ ViperX 2.5.0 & ncx_3.14_SENSE
Device info:
Rom: ViperX 3.5.0
Kernel: ncx_3.14_SENSE
What settings/tweaks would improve battery life but still maintain a moderate speed (no lag, etc.)?
Best CPU Governor?
Suitable CPU max & min frequency?
Settings to disable/enable?
Apps to install/uninstall?
cpu governor - smartmax, i/0 - rio
cpu min-max = 51-1300 ( 1200 should be enough if you dont play games)
Wifi is preferred over 3G to improve battery life. Dont use task killers, they end up killing essential processes and hence decrease battery.
Install betterbatterystats http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
This app shows kernel wakelocks and which app is causing them. There is also a guide in that thread
Hello,so what kernel you like to combine with PA? -Nexus 4
I've tryed few
Franco r203-i think is has a battery drain problem /no update till now...
Trinity-no gama controll(and that is pretty annoying for me)
faux-idk why i just dont like that kernel
matrix-ok battery but low fps in gaming(maybe im doing something wrong?)
hellscore-hmm idk how its now ....
I would love to try ElementalX but its only for N5
The "wish list"
-over 4 SOT in wi-fi(3g,bluetooth,nfc,data,gps-all OFF ,dont need them)
-has customizable color-gama
-low consumption over night
-NO low fps in games like Asphalt 8(can change pref with Per-App modes if need [low on daily apps and custom profiles for games])
Thats all
What do you recomand?A few pros/cons on the kernel.
Try hellscore b43
http://d-h.st/users/hellsgod/?fld_id=27672#files
hells-Core-b43-kk-t2.zip. Flash this file. Enjoy!
This kernel gives better battery life for any ROM. 100% results.
After a day of testing more kernel
My favorite for now are:
Trinity- 4cores on all time and combined with tkt for gamma
Hellscore b43 -its very cool ,i'm very curious how will perform over night the b44 version because the low frequency
This 2 i love the most
For what it's worth, I have no exceptional battery drain using Franco Kernel. I lose ~1% per hour with the screen off, and <0.5% per hour with the screen and radios off, which is as good as it get for this device, in my experience.
With normal usage and without disabling Location Services or radios, I tend to get 5 hours of screen-on-time; sometimes more.
So till now trinity and hellscore in 5% drain i get over 15 min of youtube playback but on franco r203 in 5% i get like 8-9
Edit:I've changed from 1,5 to 1 and now it's battery drain is much better ,like the other 2.
Lupus kernel. I was using the awful one that came with FreeXperia but that was crashing 20 times a day. Finally found Lupus and it hasn't crashed since. Battery lasts at least four times longer too which I didn't think was possible, and I haven't seen since using the stock ROM.
(Android has crashed once but that's because it's Android)
