I'm new to the Galaxy Nexus and I'm coming from an OG Evo that I was using SetCPU with....
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.

yea that's what I figured.
any setting recommendations?
I tried a few but just wondering what others are using...
I use default and it goes pretty good

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

Now I am not blaming the app I am just wondering... everynow and then, when I wake my phone up, it doesn't want to wake up or when I turn it on and try to unlock it freezes... was wondering if anyone else was getting the same thing.

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.

There's a kernal that allows you to hit 1.4ghz its the overclocked one from baked snacks

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'm having problems with the so called "sleep of death".
I make all my profiles and leave the defaults for conservative. Minimum is set to 200mhz and max for screen off is 600.
It seems like no matter what I set the clocks to my phone never wakes up from sleep. I have to pull the battery to turn it back on.
Running SFR1.1.1.

Edit
Is it the screen off profile?
If you're using the included kernel for SRF 1.1.1 don't use a screen off profile, set it to conservative, and minimum cpu at 200mhz. It should be fine with those settings.
Its on the first page of the SRF thread.

Switch to paid version of Voltage Control. It's optimized for us now.
Having issues with setcpu freezing up my phone even with no profiles.
If voltage control is optimized for epics I may buy it. Underclocking really boosts battery life.

What was your lowest freq set to? Some phones don't like 200 at all
Sent from my armed and operational battle station.
Wasn't Conservative deemed buggy for the Epic? And ondemand was the better option?
The new twilight kernel, which is included in SRF 1.1.1 is fine with conservative.
There is a free version of voltage control too. Uninstall set cpu and try that first and see how that works for you... if that doesn't help, maybe you should flash a different kernel.

Yup. I believe this is posted a few times on the ACS thread. Go with Genocide or Vision. Now on demand will drop below 200 even if its set at your minimum but may very well still work.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I thbought there were also problems by using profiles at all.
Have you tried getting rid of the profiles? (After backing them up, of course)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I use the Vision kernel with SetCPU to ondemand with NO issues at all I had profiles enabled at one point but it seemed redundant because I had it set to ondemand. If you have it set to anything other than ondemand then I can see using profiles.
I keep hearing people say they uv -xx number to save battery, how do you do that?
You can check the kernel thread you installed from. Usually use echo command and point to vdd_table. If you don't understand what undervolting is, you may not want to do it. It can cause issues if you undervolt too much. It can save battery life, but i would suggest using setcpu, you can find a free copy on xda, and setting profiles, like screen off, in call, etc., to lower values. I would say, stay above 300MHz for min. and clock down the max. Min are: 384-540 for screen off; 384-540 for in call. also, with some roms, you can set the main value, on the first tab, to a lower figure in the max column. I don't charge my phone everyday anymore.
Thanks for the detailed info. But I heard there's an app that does uv?

Ah ha!!! I see!!! Thanks!!
I've used up my "thanks" for today but I'll definitely come back tomorrow.
What is the uv number I should generally set to save battery but not have the phone freeze?
If I set it to negative too much and the phone freezes, I just reboot the phone and re-set the number to a higher (less uv) value?
it's different from phone to phone, you just gotta try it out and see.. i UV mine about 100mv under stock at 1.51ghz

Mine can do 100 also
I can only go -62.5. Anything over that will freeze the phone...
How come every phone is different in this regard, does this mean my phone is "born" to consume more battery?
Thought I saw posted somewhere here not to use SetCpu on our phone? FauxClock always FC's on me. Running Jugs overclock on rooted/flashed T-Mo SGS2.
Hey guys, i got cyanogen mod 7.2 installed on my phone, and whenever i tried to change the max cpu speed from the settings, it would now work after boot. Most of the market programs i use freeze as soon as i try to apply my changes. I got "No-frills Cpu control" to work once, so i made it 844 max clock speed. (I confirm using android system info app"). EDIT: after another frozen reboot, the clock speed has gone back down to 787 again -_- . So frustrating!!
So i was wondering, which app do you use to overclock your gio that doesnt freeze?

Which is the best governor for gaming performance?
Performance or smartass v2
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
For performance the best governor is "performance". It causes that processor overclocking is always the highest. It means that if you have overclcked processor at 921MHz, with this governor phone will always work at 921MHz. But don't use it, it drains battery as hell
The best governor for daily use is SmartassV2, because it's balance between performance and battery
And sorry for my English :|
Na szczęście jest TapaTalk
which 1 is best for daily uses????
i am using smartassv2 but sometimes my phone becomes very very slow takes 1mint to slide the status bar phone apps etc.....
what is i/o schedular??? is it effect the speed?? which 1 is best???
Now I just use the On demand governor. Smartassv2 drains my battery pretty fast

Yup,any overclock will drain your battery quicker,this is very logical as you consume more power,right?I use No Frills CPU control,and i have my galaxy Gio set to 921 Mhz....! It realy works like asmall little pocket rocket now...I was already very satisfied with the price/performance ratio of this cheap little phone,but now with this stable OC it really hits it out of the park!!!No complaints from me about this phone..I'm gonna try and achieve an even higher oc,but it's really not a must,just want to know how far i can push it.No Frills has a benchmarker impemented ,very handy.

That's true. But smartass is just like balance between perfomance and battery drain, which makes it the best governor

I don't know about best. That's definitely a question that will generate many different answers. These are my settings and they work well for me but they are also fairly conservative. By no means am I trying to get the highest benchmark scores. And of course the same settings will not produce the same results on every device. I should mention that I don't use sweep2wake or doubletap2wake, They will to some extent lower battery life.
Set CPU core separately = no
Cpu overclock to 1620 MHz
L2 cache and bus bandwidth = ElementalX
Auto Undervolting = 850 min
Thermal setting = run hot. Mine never gets very hot but then I don't do a ton of gaming.
GPU overclock = 450 MHz
GPU governor = ondemand
Cpu governor set to stock ondemand. With ElementalX governor I was seeing a slight stutter running quadrant.
Gboost = I am not using.
Enabled max screen off frequency.
Enabled USB fastcharge.
Disabled magnetic on/off. Tablet is naked, no cover.
Again, those are the settings that I'm using and they are admittedly conservative. Not using any apps like setcpu, kernel tuner or trickster. Don't forget to make a backup first.
Ok thanks, will give it a shot, thanks again
