[Q] setcpu flykernel what´s the best configuration - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everybody.
i would like to know what´s the best configuration for the hero to have a better battery perfomance with flykernel.
example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks

1200mhz? Is that a hero?

---

Its not hero , the resolution is to high.

---

what the.... flykernel runs on other systems? cool - I guess it makes sense that he builds it for other systems but I just never thought about that happening.

---

I think the screen is just a screen. Kernel from one device won't run on another.

oh, so he grabbed a setcpu screenshot for example's sake?
ok, original poster, are you using a hero? LoL

I'm pretty sure of this

The screenshot is from another device / kernel, he was just using it as an example.
As for best configuration, there isn't one I am afraid. It is dependant on so many differing factors:-
- what apps update in the background and how often?
- how often you use the screen?
- what brightness do you have your screen on?
- how good is your signal?
- how many widgets do you have running?
- how well written the apps you use are (sky news for instance used to be a massive battery drain)
- how efficient your battery is (old batteries drain quicker)
that it is impossible to say. I personally don't use any profiles at all, I run at 19MHz min / 748MHz max and use the smartass governor, but I am so often around my charger (at home or at work) that I don't know what the battery life is like. It lasts more than 24 hours and linpack over 5.2 MFLOPS, which is enough for me.

yea - most common sense way to improve battery life is this:
reduce screen brightness manually as much as you can live with
slow down top speed of cpu as much as you can live with. in most roms I can live with something in the 450 mHz range or whatever that kernel provides as a lowish top end speed.
smartass is good for battery life - nice low bottom speed, very quick to speed up if necessary. but if you can live with some occasional slowdowns on unlock (the only side effect I get from the following setup) just use a low conservative-governor speed with screen off profile and higher but still low as you can live with speed with screen on using the ondemand governor.
oh, and turn off wifi when not using it, turn off bluetooth when not using it, make sure no apps request gps when not using it or turn it off too if you're paranoid (but gps only runs when an app asks it to run), and if you really want great battery life when screen is off then t urn off background updates except when you really want to update your data.

The image is only example

Can you do that automatically ?

there are apps you can install that do that automatically for you, but of course then you have another service running in the background all the time managing this stuff. I would imagine it's worth a try, but I personally need background updates enabled so my wife can ping me whenever she wants.

Let me just say this.
Look in the FlyKernel topic. He has a darn huge part there on what the best speed is.
And to make it lazy for ya.
172/614 smartass, and totally no profiles.
But it is more what you like.
If you want to go like I want to have a P4 and go to the 2.2 Ghz and try to run XP on it. Have fun
But in short, First read out a whole post of a kernel before making a new topic. next time post it inside the topic of the kernel. Less clutter on the board.
EDIT: I personally dont use setCPU because its another app running for something you can just configure with flykernel package itself. Same for all kernels. Just have to find out how . And now its time to go to bed, that was something I was planning to do 4.5 hours ago

12a is a great kernel..
I find 19/576 (interactive when screen on, conservative when off) works perfectly on froydvillain 1.7.2, but I'm using the included app cpu speed, not setcpu.
I don't have any problems with lag during games or anything else, so why overclock more if not needed? I have gone up to 730 though I didn't find performance was that much better, so I leave it at 576 unless otherwise needed.
