No, it won't let me go higher than 993 mhz
if decrease the clock speed to the max of 600mhz,will it save more power?
yeah tried as well and the max is 993mhz. weird
(unless i'm missing something, I never used setcpu before)
I use OverclockWidget for my wife's X10.
Off screen frequency : 250~384
On screen frequence : 576~1000Mhz
it work like charm !
but your not going over 1000mhz? not overclocking

Well, I just leave it set to "ondemand", so that way it will automatically adjust the speed as needed (Max: 998MHz, Min: 245MHz). My max is 998MHz.
what firmware we can use? which is highly recommended? R2BA026?
SetCpu and more, can we use Juice defender to increase autonomy

you know the phone does that anyway right?
I don't speak French so I can't comment on that but I've been using SetCPU since the 020 root and it SEEMS to work alright. Sometimes when I open it, it says something about failing but then it works OK.
I'm currently on R2BA026 rooted and it works for me. I also use JuiceDefender but to be honest I'm getting more and more convinced that's not helping any more. JuicePlotter in particular is struggling and keeps stalling, with gaps in the graph frequently, not sure why but that's not relevant to this thread so I'll leave that.
But I do NOT use it to overclock and would not recommend that! For a start, it would cane the battery. Rather, I use it to "throttle" the CPU speed. I think that's what most of us use it for. E.g. when the screen is off, it stops the CPU working too hard (and thus saves battery). Also when power is running low, CPU is throttled to save it. By throttled I mean "restricted to 245Mhz".
It's free to XDA members because the dev kindly put it up here somewhere for download - if you're looking for "how that works" on the Market, stop now because that's not how it works! The Market doesn't give you a discount for being on XDA.
Just search for it on here, or wait for someone who has used it to point you in the right direction. I'd search for it for you but I'm about to head out.

we cant overclock anyway until there is a custom kernel. and you get bet your arse that when there is one, ill be overclocking to the max zoooom
I've used SetCPU for a few weeks and now I've been using my X10 without SetCPU for a few weeks and I've noticed zero difference in power consumption.
I'm guessing Android does a fine job itself at downclocking the CPU when it doesn't have to do heavy tasks.

Hello everyone, I just had one quick question (I'm also very new to Android in general so I don't want to do anything to make my phone un-useable). Does Setcpu work with samsung fascinate root and clockwork mod? I heard some people say theres a seperate application to underclock and overclock the fascinate, but then again i do not think they knew what they were talking about. Is there a better program than setcpu?
Sorry if this has already been posted. I know its been posted in other forums for different phones, but didn't find one for the fascinate.

SetCPU is the most popular one. You'll need root to even use SetCPU. And you'll need CWM to flash the OC Kernels. If you dont OC SetCPU is pointless
On that note.
SetCPU must be ran on conservative and with no profiles and no load on boot.
If you do reboot your phone, mine reverts back to 800, so I need to manually change it to 1200.
Do u have to set both min & Max to 1200???
no just the max

Yes, of course you are right. Actually the other day I forgot to slide sliders up from 800 to 1200 and I was getting really good battery life for like 2 hours my % only dropped 1% and I was like wow.
Im just pleased as punch that there are OC/UV kernels out, its the best of both worlds.
Actually my battery life is above average it seems; either that or my usage is below average so Im not draining it as much. I'd gladly mildly overvolt to something like 1350mV if it meant I'd be rock solid stable at say 1.4Ghz
BTW, jt I heard you might be getting out the kernel speed chase after these 1.2Ghz's? Just don't feel like chasing 1.3 or 1.4?
I am running Dirrk's D012 LV 1200 Kernel with SetCPU
Luckily, the LV runs EXTREMELY smooth on my phone..
So smooth, that for the past day now I have been able to run with "set on boot" and constant restarts on my phone..and with Profiles for Screen Off, Temp (probably wont get there), and Charging. I can say that I have had no problems with my profiles and set on boot. Then again, I don't want to contribute to hurting anyone's phone
Just thought I'd let everyone know how my phone (and potentially others) can seem to handle profiles and set on boot.

I was hoping to get some help. I have installed jt's 1200 voodoo kernal, and I can't seem to get Setcpu to clock at 1200. It still says that the max is 800, however, on the slide it is only giving me the option to goto 528. Bellow are my facts, any help would be great!
Facts:
1. flashed jt's overclocked voodoo use clockwork, but did it through "install ROM from sd card". I am not sure if this is correct, but it seems to be running voodoo.
2. I have no idea how I need to have Setcpu set up.
I feel like I am blindfolded and I am trying to wack at a pinata.

Edit: never mind...even a blind folded monkey hits the pinata every now and then

Download and buy Titanium Backup Pro and use the app to freeze all the bloatware you don't want running. Stuff like Peep, Blockbuster, Bitbop, CityID, etc. I haven't rooted this one yet, but my old Dinc and DPro showed significant battery life gains when I froze these bloat apps that just seem to always be running. Backup Assistant is another culprit if you aren't using it.
I actually renamed the files using Root Explorer and moved to SD and backed up on my pc, so Titanium wasn't having to intervene all the time to keep them frozen.
I would suggest running Das BAMF Rom v 1.1. Since installing it I've noticed a nice increase in battery performance as well as a snappier phone.

Install a ROM that doesn't have all that bloat on it.
I renamed all of the bloatware apps to .bak and rebooted.
So far I've just been using SetCPU for over/underclocking but have never messed with undervolting. I was wondering what most people use if your main priority is undervolting for better battery life. I'm running Siyah 2.6.7 with SHOstock ROM. Any help/feedback is appreciated.

Well, undervolting is very tricky. Each CPU differs in its ability to undervolt, so settings that work for one may not work for others. You'd have to do some testing. I recommend either a.) undervolting one tick and run AnTuTu benchmark multiple times as well as a demanding game/app (Run them for a long time), or b.) undervolting one tick and using your phone normally as per your current usage and if by the next morning it's still running as normal, repeat one tick.
Do NOT set "Set on Boot" to on until you've run these tests and have had no issues.
Hope this helps a little.
Do not worry about 1400,1600 mhz till later since that's when your overclocking.
Bump everything else down by 25mv, run the stress test and a few intensive programs like benchmarks/games.
Keep doing that till you start to notice problems and then revert to the best setting you had. (make sure to backup or not set on boot)
Once you go through all that then you can do it for individual mhz and see which can still be lowered.
This should keep you busy for a hour or so.
I'll share what I posted in another thread. Doing stress tests are fine, but if you test throughout the course of a day or more, you have the opportunity to come across situations you might not think of during testing.
Simba501 said:
Ouch....I think the best way to experiment with undervolting is to use Voltage Control. Save the stock settings as your boot settings (it saves everything - governor, frequencies, etc; so, make sure those are what you want them to be as well), then undervolt (at the beginning of the day). If you make it to the end of the day with typical usage, you can save those as your new boot settings. Undervolt further at the beginning of another day, etc. Once you make it to the point where you get locked up, voltage control will set the previous values at boot and you'll know that those are your limits.
EDIT: If you want to play it extra safe, run values for more than one day.

I'm at work right now trying not to get easily distracted by xda since I keep checking whether or not an ICS leak has been ported or something. Thanks guys for your much appreciated input. I've been running with all voltage values knocked down by 50mV with the exception of 1.4 and 1.6 GHz. Those I kept stock since I'm not overclocking. So far so good actually with sio/ondemand and Max 500 Mhz. It's surprisingly smooth and battery of course is doing exceptionally well at these settings. Switched over to voltage control for now.

I personally have become very fond of voltage control where as I'd previously been using set-cpu for nearly ever since the H1 and mytouch days. Voltage controls just allows more freedom and tweakability.

You got it! I just wouldnt even bother with setcpu right now its really not necessary. Technically many of its controls wont work at all because we dont have access to the system partition at all while booted meaning build.prop mods and many kernel tweaks are not accessable. Just w3ait till kernel source drops to start playing with that stuff. Its really not necessary anyway yet. This SOC is a hoss!!!!:laugh::good:
I installed SetCPU and it does work for controlling the CPU speed, but you obviously can't overclock. I originally wanted to use it to lower the speed when the display is off, but it was doing a great job on it's own and rarely went above 384MHz when it was just sitting, so I uninstalled it. The only thing I found that didn't work was the graph that shows the usage at each speed.

Right now my rom and kernel is stable but would like to have a little more battery life and consider undervolting a little.
Just wondering whether the gains of soft undervolting (-25 / -50 / -75 across all steps) are visible in terms of increased battery lives for our GS2. Anyone did any test/comparison to determine if your battery life is better/ overall temp of device is lower?
Thanks in advance!
Get Gsam battery monitor from playstore and under volt -25 and test for 2 days aleast for freezes and sods. Then drop to -50 and so on. Some phone wont drop by -25 without sods. Also setting cpu to 1000mhz Saves battery not having to jump to 1200.
In my experience, some increase in battery life. I guess it depends on what kind of user you are. If you really chew through battery & find yourself reaching for a charger/spare battery halfway through the day, it might be significant/make a real difference to you. If you're someone who charges their phone overnight/uses the phone relatively 'normally', you probably wouldn't notice any great difference, and it might not be worth your while going through the time/hassle of working out exactly how much undervolting your CPU can handle.
Well, I've read some threads on undervolting and I think having a scaling stability test using the StabilityTest app could save quite a lot of hassle to do testing for cases of freezes and SOD. That was what got me thinking about doing some undervolting but not too aggressive to the point that I'm bordering on unstability, thus this thread! :cyclops:

well, its not that 'Undervolting' is useless, but while doing so u have to take some risk, which IMO do always bring about bad results (rather than saving some Juice on ur batt, it might cause instability most of the time ).
So it would be better, the same is left to devloper's of Kernel's since they know what they r doing
This is why I have said little steps first.
