I've searched the Legend subforum for setcpu and have come up with nothing relevant so here goes..
I'm looking for Legend-only SetCPU profile suggestions. I've found quite a few other forums with their own device specific profiles posted and I'm almost positive I cannot be the only other Legend & SetCPU user here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
I want to know too
I use these profiles;
Charging/Full 600/600 performance
Screen-off 480/122 userspace

But this is just downclocking because the legend default processor frecquency is 600MHz.¿¿How can we overclock the processor to i.e. 800MHZ??

Hi guys,
I've been looking fruitlessly for an FAQ where the following stuff is described:
- discussion of the different governors (smartass/smoothass/performance/...)
- discussion of the methods for overclocking (is NoFrills the only/preferred way to set overclocking, or are there better tools?)
thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

Hi Drythe,
I don't know if there's a FAQ around here for that. As far as OC apps are concerned I've only used SetCPU which is free for download at its XDA thread. I guess NoFrills does the same as SetCPU but I've never tried it out as I never needed to. If you're using CM7 and you have CM's submenu under settings you can even set there the min/max CPU frequencies, the governor and the set-on-boot option. That's the standard options. SetCPU also gives you the possibility of defining min/max/governor profiles for a number of different scenarios (battery percentage or temperature;screen on/off, etc.) As for a way of setting the OC, any one of them is enough and none will give you better OC per se, of course
Choose the one you like the most and use it, it won't make a difference on the OC.
About the governors, some of them are self-explanatory (conservative, powersave, performance,...), some of them may not be. You'd be better off googling for the specific governor you want to know about and reading some results about it.
If you have the time and compile that information into a new thread, the better.
Happy OCing!
Cheers!
And when you do, please post in relevant section (not dev )

Yes yes yes...
By the way, Smoothass appears to be a very elusive target. I'm using it but couldn't find any info
Smoothass is an improved smartass. The way it scales between the frequencies was changed but mantains the smartass original concept. From what I reckon, smoothass is the advisable one to use.
Cheers.
is smoothass an improved smartass like said above?
I have been testing different SetCPU settings on my I9100G and been running AnTuTu Benchmark. Here are the results:
hotplug - 6153
ondemand - 3739
conservative - 3830
performance - 4066
SetCPU not installed - 4964
Does that even make any sense? Shouldn't I have the best performance with the performance setting?
Not surely.... This may be different for any situation... It depends on the kernel, voltages and so on... I thinks that it's normal!

Would anyone know what are the default kernel settings?
It's strange because when I disable SetCPU I am getting a worse performance again, but from what I can see in system files, the SetCPU settings are still here.
EDIT:
Actually some more tests:
hotplug - 6036
conservative - 5834
ondemand - 5740
performance - 5058
I might have forgot to tick the "Enable" thing in SetCPU with some of the first tests :/

And what values you get on glbenchmark?
Hi.
My question is: Is there a way to overclock the cpu by specifying a set frequency, to run at, when opening a 3d application?
For example: The cpu is running by default at 480/600 (on any min/max like governor). When a 3d app is started the max value should scale up to 787 and then revert back to the default of 600 when the app is stopped/unfocused.
I checked out the profile creation feature of some cpu overclocking apps but didn't find any to provide this kind of functionality.

I don't think you can because setCPU doesn't have that option from what i saw.
Play with the governors, see which one fits your needs. Some of them won't go to 787 anyway if you don't force it to.
Check the governors out :
ondemand – Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see “up threshold” in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.
interactive – Available in newer kernels, and becoming the default scaling option in some official Android kernels. The interactive governor is functionally similar to the ondemand governor with an even greater focus on responsiveness.
conservative – Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.
performance – Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “max” set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting “max” and “min” to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for CPU load.
powersave – Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “min” set value at all times.
userspace – A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor.
smartass – Included in some custom kernels. The smartass governor effectively gives the phone an automatic Screen Off profile, keeping speeds at a minimum when the phone is idle.

I'm using it , for games, higher oc and performance governor xP

As the topic states..
Can someone here give any explanation on the MSM_CPUFreq and Simple_Ondemand GPU governors?
Have searched on Google - but can't find anything about those two regarding benefits and non-benefits with one of em' enabled and choosen.
Msm_cpufreq i dont know about but Simple Ondemand is actually a Governor for the gpu to run efficiently e.g saving battery with minimal compromize for performance.
So I've been hearing Schedutil is the most balanced governor for Android phones cause it can handle battery and performance well.I searched it on internet and found some article about it that my brain can't understand.
Why is it better and how it works? Can anybody explain it to me or provide me some link where I can read about it?
Thank You
It's a CPU governor. Look inside here. This governor requires Linux kernel 4.7+.
I got problem with schedutil on oneplus 9, its the default governor and get low fps while gaming. Maybe is a bug with "games" app what should change to a better governor while gaming... it also have a "performance" option
This governor is quiet ****. Its like ondemand ramping up to max clock when not needed.
