So, I was wondering which would be the better to run on an OC kernal, SetCpu or Voltage Control. I'm using SetCpu (cause I paid for it lol) but notice that a lot of people talk about using Voltage Control instead of the later. Is this due to options, or is it simply because it's free? Any help is appreciated, and anybody that gives me a non-flaming serious response will get a thanks lol!

I just installed Voltage Control 1 hour ago. So far I like it better than SetCpu which I also paid for it. Voltage Control has options to lower the votage in various steps. The voltages can be lowered without needing to overclock the CPU.
Installed it after installing Tigers Blood V2 kernel. But now I want to see how my battery life is undervolted and not overclocked.
I prefer voltage control but I also have the paid set cpu from before when I didn't know about voltage. Voltage let's you uv (undervolt) your frequencies to conserve some battery life.
Trigger + Tigerblood = Winning
Well it just depends on what your trying to do, in example, if you want to set profiles and Oc, I would use Setcpu, if your trying to undervolt your clock speed, and have Oc, I would use Voltage Control. I use both because I'm trying to Overclock, and have lower voltages
Wow guys! Thanks so much! This is really helpful info.
Bambam, what settings are you using with Tigers blood and Trigger?

My settings, this might not work for your phone, every phone is different. Battery life seems great so far.
100mhz -50 = 900mv
200mhz -50 = 900mv
400mhz -50 = 1000mv
800mhz -50 = 1150mv
1000mhz -50 = 1225mv
1200mhz -25 = 1275mv
Good luck.
I personally use SetCpu for OC because i've been using it since the Nexus One and i think its just the better app b/c of ease of use
Again guys (or gals), I really appreciate all the feedback. Thanks have been given appropriately as promised. Sorry about the delay. This has been the first day that I could get to my laptop lol!
One thing I have noticed is that when SetCpu is set to "performance" the phone has difficulty pulling up the multi-tasker when long pressing the home button. This is how I get to Task Manager to clear things up before running benchmarks, so it's somewhat of a big deal to me. I'm sure there are other ways around it. I know on the stock OS that there is a Task Manager widget, but that has seemed to have disappeared with the ROMs that I've ran.

Thanks for the info Jim, I'm really trying out different UV settings. I'm running just the standard right now cause other settings I've tried have caused me the SOD lol!
I don't know if this applies anymore but TW used to suggest the following setting when using SetCPU.
Conservative, do not set on boot-up. Minimum clock speed of 200mhz. Some phones would not wake up using the default of 100mz minimum. As I remember they advised against setting up any profiles.
Yeah, I've known about the no profiles thing. I think I've stuck to using Voltage Control as I haven't had nearly as much issues with it.

im running the extreme1.92x kernel oc'd at 1.4 but not sure about the best setup to save battery. i made one profile for charging i put in on max. not sure what to do with the advanced tab settings.
Profiles are really dependent on the user and their needs. The one piece of advice I can give you is to make sure you have a profile set up in case your phone starts to over heat. An OC'ed phone maxed during a charge may get quite toasty.
any suggestions?
Imo dont o/c. Let the kernel operate the way it is setup. O/c cause reboots, phone heating up, and freezes.

Does that actually work?
I thought you had to choose a default governor and setup profiles accordingly.
I didn't know you could setup profiles with a governor that wasn't active or chosen on boot.
the thunderbolt is so fast already theres really no need to over clock. i left it at stock for normal, toned down to 768 when <30% battery and down to 368 when screen off. its a little slow for about half a second when waking up but the battery life is amazing. i can make it through a whole day without charging with moderate use. also running ziggys bfs kernel on virusrom and that added a ton of speed. way better than overclocking that drains your battery
im not asking about overclocking or profiles, just want to know about advanced settings. everything is set to default -1.

What Rom are you using?
Go to settings, menu, wireless networks, mobile networks and uncheck the third box. No need to have mobile data always on for most peeps . You'll still have 4G n everything, but gain a good 1-2 maybe more hrs (depending on use, kernels, governor settings, and I/O scheduling. I personally am running BAMF 1.6.2 with adryns 4.4.7 kernel, no set CPU, using tool box for that at 245mhz min - 1.024GHz max with ondemand governor and most importantly SIO Scheduler.

On a Samsung Vibrant (U.S.A.) with stock v2.2 what are the best settings, profiles, ect. for saving battery? Also please label the specifics like max/min, scaling, and your advanced settings. Thank you...
EDIT: I understand you can't overclock without a customized kernal, but if I recall correctly you can underclock without it. Am I correct?
If you underclock your phone, it might get better battery life, but it perfomance will go down too and will start lagging, i don't recommend it at all.
The vibrant doesn't like profiles with less than 800 Max, it tends to freeze on wake-up. The amount of savings from an 800 MHz screen off profile is almost immeasurable as well. Also, the default conservative governor is the only one that is reliable. Therefore unless you're overclocking to start with, setcpu doesn't do anything for battery life on our phones. Best to just use a UV kernel such as BALI.

Hey man, what you want is undervolt. Underclock will slow you down, and not make a huge difference. However I undervolt by 75mv through the spectrum and have seen great results.
can't hurt to underclock to 800 though, some kernels are ok at 400 but very laggy.
Vibrant - project v, bali 1.8.6UV

Ok, I'm posting here because after doing a search, this is the very latest SetCPU thread. Recently, we finally got a worthwhile Gingerbread JVP and several ROM's (Simply Honey 3.8 & Asgard 3.1 JUST AMAZING ROM's) have finally given us some 2.3's we can keep on our phones, well in my opinion anyway.
So, I'm using cmenard's latest Bullet GB Kernel v6.1 and have decided to finally put to use the profiles section on SetCPU. Below is what I'm thinking and would enjoy a friendly conversation of what/if any benefits can be had on Gingerbread and customs Kernels using SetCPU Profiles. I read somewhere that Android is getting much better in regards to battery/performance efficiency, but I noticed a slight fall in battery life on 2.3.4 over 2.2.1 by a few hours.
My Profiles at this time.
Main SetCPU screen
200 min - 1200 max - Conservative? Smartass? Interactive? Any particular Governor worth using other than stock Conservative? - Set on Boot = YES
I'm not quite sure how the priority works on the main screen, I mean let's say I'm at 21% battery life and its time for my battery profile to kick in, but I'm still using the phone for various reasons, wifi calling or benchmarking etc. Will the phone stay at 200-1200 or will it actually use my battery profiles?
Screen Off (Set at 10 minute timeout)
100 - 800 - Conservative - Priority 100
Battery <11%
100 - 400 - Conservative - Priority 75 (Really thinking I should delete this)
Battery <21%
100 - 800 - Conservative - Priority 50
Charging
100 - 800 - Conservative - Priority 25 (Trying to keep the phone cool)
I have read that the Vibrant does not like profiles of 400 or lower when the screen is off, and this must be true as I tried 100-400, 200-400, but they all gave me wake of death until I set the max to 800 (there was no in between a.k.a 500, 600 or 700), so now 100-800 seems to work great for Screen Off. I hate this since when the screen is off the phone does not need to be doing anything other then checking gmail via wifi and notifying me using BLN blinking. Also, I tried to set a profile for Battery temp, but for what ever reason it will NOT give me the save button, so I assume GB now controls that on its own, or cmenard has removed that option from his kernel (or setcpu is borked, lol).
Any tips or concerns with my settings above? Anyone here a guru with SetCPU profiles and can see I'm a noob with profiles? lol
Thanks

Hello guys
I'd like some help on installing the Undervolt for WB's 4.0.3 ROM
I'm on 4.0.3 stock kernel. All I have to do is flash the Undervolt addon and Ill be good or do I need other apps like CPU Master after flashing it?
I know theres a lot about it in the topic but its all untied and confusing
If someone could take some time to explain to me how it works I'll be really thankful.
dnt have wb rom but in general I believe ud update with the file provided n I believe u would need either set cpu or cpu master to be able to adjust the minimum value to the lowest 1 possible

i flashed the stock kernel first but there was no option to 128mhz also i believe uv works without app...you can also flash the custom kernel and choose the least frQ as i did. i also have enlightment but don't know is that from overclocking to 1113mhz or from the minimum 128mhz or from the undervolt itself??

I think overclock/underclock is different from undervolt, no?
Hi,
underclock = reduce frequency = gain life
overclock = increase frequency = loose life = gain speed
undervoltage = reduce voltage for certain frequencies = gain life
With good settings for undervoltage and underclocking you can gain a lot of extra batterie life.

Under and overclocking changes the speed at which the cpu works.
Less speed means it doesnt work as hard so saves battery.
More speed means it works harder so needs more power so reduces battery life.
At the different speeds the cpu works at it uses different voltages from the battery, less speed needs less voltage, as the speed increases it pulls more volts from the battery.
The voltages it uses are controlled by the kernel.
The undervolt module changes the default voltages each speed uses so in effect a higher cpu speed can work at a lower voltage so it improves performance at no cost to the battery life.
However, if the new voltages are too low the cpu doesnt have enough power to run so you WLOD.
The UV module (and custom kernels) have been tested on loads of devices and generally are stable, however, reading the threads suggest that some phones are still vulnerable to the occasional WLOD using these modules...
Just try and see what is stable for you...
Just remember
Always backup in case you f*** up!!!

It seems to change from phone to phone because the chips inside are not all exactly the same.
They are tested to conform with stock speeds and voltages but can become unstable when changing these.
Some phones (Luckily mine included) can handle 128 - 1113 Mhz with ony a few (Very rare, about 2 a week) WLOD's while other people say their phones WLOD constantly with any change.
The best way is to apply the mod you want and check.
I seem to remember that the UV and the UC/OC modules are not compatble on WB's ROM, you have to choose what you want.
However, I am running freekernel 4.05 which allows me to use UV and then configure which speeds to run via SetCPU.apk.
If you install a kernel there is no need to apply the UV or OC/UC modules..
Read DooMLoRD's custom kernel thread, he has a lot of good info and useful tips on how to test which is best for your phone.
exactly, wolfbreak also mentioned in his thread about the incompatibility of overclock and undervolt with some devices.
unfortunately i'm at the short list of devices that can't handle both, for users like me he gave the option for stock kernel with optional undervolt, which i'm using now with no problems.
Thx for all the info guys! Now ill try the undervolt
I have one more question: everytime that i flash a update on the ROM i need to reflash Undervolt?
Undervolting and profiles.
I have tried a crap ton of different undervolting setting, but none work
Also the profiles in set cpu don't seem to work for me. I have a few of them set and it always sits on the top one I need some guidence with both please!

Undervolting is a delicate process. It takes time to find the max undervolt that is stable. With that being said, try undervolting everything by the lowest amount which is -25mv. Check to see if that is stable. If so proceed to go further. Remember lower freq will typically undervolt farther than higher frequencies.
As far as profiles go your probably not using the priority values right. The higher priority is what determines which profile setcpu uses. So for instance if you want a safeguard against overheating, you could set the profile for when the cpu goes above 55C to throttle the processor way down. If you set this profile to 100(max) it will overide all other profiles at 98, 99, 75, 50...etc. Also this may be obvious to some but be sure to tick(enable) the profiles button. If thats not ticked then it doesnt matter how many profiles you have set up. It simply wont use them.

Glad your getting some results. If it restarts even once it means at least one of your undervolted freq isn't stable. With your settings I would wager its in the uper freq considering your undervolt in the lower freq isn't too extreme. You might try decreasing the undervolt for your upper freq to -50 -50 -50 starting at the top. Might help to stabilize bc higher freq just require more voltage. If that proves to be stable continue trying to reduce the lower freq as much as possible. Mainly bc if you set your profiles right(screen off is the most important really) your phone will spend the majority of its time on the 200mhz freq. Thus the more undervolt on that freq should theoretically give the most benefit from undervolting. This is just all from personal experience. I'm no guru. Just spent way too much time adjusting voltages on phones . And of course having the upper freq undervolted as much as possible cant hurt either.

First off, regarding SetCpu and over / undercloking, dev has said it'll only underclock/overclock ONE core at a time. It's a bug and he's working on it from what I understand. If both cores are needed to be in use at the same time, no over / underclocking will be applied. Secondly, profiles work as they should in SetCpu, so that's a problem on your end. Third, the undervolting can't be more than 100mv differnce between jumps. See screen shot.

Yea Im skeptical about not setcpu not having support for dual cores... Did some searching on the net and couldnt find anything to support that. As far as not the tegra 2 not being able to do over 100mv jumps. That's not true. My lowest frequency is 600mv (-150) and my next frequency is at 750mv. That's a 150mv difference right there... And I'm completely stable. Its entirely dependent on your processor. They are all different and respond differently to undervolting. You just have to find what works for you. Generally though the lesser the jumps in voltage will give you more stability.

Well I recently switched over from SetCPU to VC and am quite happy with it... figured I'd make a thread for users to share their experiences with the app...
First a few ground rules...
You must share the following info...
Kernel, Rom, Paid of Free version of the app, Screen on time, and all your settings in the fields in the app. Also include your average battery life on a full charge and if you're on the stock battery/charger or not. *Pics are encourages and appreciated.*
my config is in my sig...
I'm also using the paid version of VC which is awesome and I have undervolted quite a bit.
*The following voltages are being tested for stability*
Noop + Ondemand
100mhz-1200mhz
1200mhz: 1200 mV
1000mhz: 1050 mV
800mhz: 950 mV
500mhz: 850 mV
200mhz: 850 mV
100mhz: 825 mV
GPU 114-267mhz
114 @ 800
267 @ 950
I average about 24hrs - 26hrs of battery pending my use with about 3hrs of screen on time.
Purpose of this thread is to exchange information on how to get a better performing and more battery efficient phone using some tweaks.
P.S. Remember all phones are different and you should NEVER expect someone else's config to work for you. The purpose in this is to get a base line for tweaking and help out users with little or no knowledge about getting good battery life and also how to make their phone faster/more efficient.
Thanks
Nice to see a similar thread for the i777 model running Entropy's kernel as well. As I always say, caring is sharing lol
Crack on mate. This kind of info makes it so much easier for new users to get started with undervolting without having too many trial and error headaches.
If anyone wants to know my settings for Siyah and VC, then click the MagicConfig link in my sig.

great voltages... Thanks for sharing.
Is there anything you guys are doing to test each individual frequency? Or just setting it at that frequency?

Well personally I set a voltage then assign my min and Max to the frequency that corresponds to the newly set voltage and then run a benchmark to see if any issues occur.

Exactly what I've been doing. If anyone has any input, please do tell.
Cpu
200mhz-850mv
500mhz-875mv
800mhz-950mv
1000Mhz-1050mv
1200mhz-1150mv
Gpu
100Mhz-800mv
267Mhz-950mV
Not getting the battery life i would like, i still drop a few percent per hour when not doing anything, but im pretty sure thats because im on 2.3.6! ive been trying to do that gpu 3 step thing i keep hearing about via scripts but it seems to mess up my voltage settings!
anyway here they are! i cant wait to see what others have!
A question: Do you use both VC and SetCPU? Won't the governor setting in VC clash with the governor settings/advance settings and profiles set in SetCPU?
Fearing that, just today morning I switched to VC Lite from SetCPU (and froze SetCPU) as I wanted scheduler control.
VC Lite settings:
Scheduler: noop
Governor: conservative
Frequencies: 200-1000
Voltages:
1600 - 1400mV
1400 - 1250mV
1200 - 1200mV
1000 - 1100mV
800 - 1000mV
500 - 900mV
200 - 850mV

Do you simply run something like Antutu Benchmark? Or does VC Pro have stress testing?

You'll find that you can run lower voltage on a forced single stepping than you can when the CPU has several steppings to choose from. For some reason the CPUs don't play well if you go to low or if it has to make to big of a jump between certain steppings.

I no longer use setcpu and I do run quadranrt or antutu usually. pro version has no such stress test, but if you ask me... one should be implemented in a future update.
What amazes me is the difference a rom can make. Running Siyah 2.6.11 with the exact same VC settings (the ones in the OP of this thread) on CM7 nightly and ShoStock 1.9.1 and running Quadrant the results are about 1000-1500 points higher on cm7 nightly. From a user feel perspective they are both smooth as butter but I wonder what makes CM7 so much faster on the synthetic benchmark. Has to be a storage I/O thing or something. Battery life seems to be better for me on ShoStock though.

Yea, I too have noticed slight variations on different roms as well.
CM7 nightly 01/24/12
I/O Scheduler : SIO
Governor : ondemand
200Mhz-1200Mhz
1200Mhz : 1200mV
1000Mhz : 1100mV
800Mhz : 1000mV
500Mhz : 900mV
200Mhz : 875mV
Phone has been on for 6hr with 1hr 5mins screen on time and I'm sitting at 80%
Got 6520 in Antutu at 1200Mhz with this setup

I used to test steps individually but again what's stable individually might not be stable with all the other steps included. I usually will quickly run through apps like mms, email, video, web, and also run a few BMs like antutu
A useful app with all the bells and whistles, with the capabilities of almost every utility app available is ROM Toolbox. I use it to edit voltage, CPU frequency, build.props, etc. Look into it if you're tired of trying hundreds of different programs for different features.

I've been using those settings with shostock rom and I have to say it has been working wonderfully

vc and set cpu
How do they get alone? Im afraid they might not like each other.
