i am using set cpu...and i set cpu frequency to 800, but sometimes i find the cpu frequency 1200...rebooted but still no use...i think task manager is killing set cpu...anyone can help me to stop setcpu from getting killed? or should i use some other app for underclocking?

Use tegrak. Set cpu seems to get ignored
thanks a lot...i'll try it now

SetCPU isn't even worth of that US2. Seriously I thought it'd help me save my battery life by setting the clock rate at wanted rate, but it's doing nothing but under clocking the CPU whole time and instead of saving battery it's draining it. I have tried every profile, still. I'd NOT recommend SetCPU to anyone.
I have tried Tegrak too, the free version, not for overclocking, but that thing doesn't even show at status bar, it's hard to find if it's running it not, let alone it's performance. After trying both these I found it better to have nothing installed but to Enable the inbuilt Power Saving feature of the phone.
Regards.

Hello,
I am wondering what the best Setcpu profiles are for SGSII when you want performance while awake and save as much as possible in Idle.
Can I put it all the way down to 500mHz while screen off and still be able to run background processes properly?
I don't really see why this shouldn't work. I had it set like that, but I also have it set to 500MHz when active quite often, as this is enough for many applications. Still, that might not be necessary, as it resides in this state quite much of the time anyway.
Since I have undervolted my phone recently, I had to set the "screen off" profile to 800MHz so that the screen comes up (otherwise, it wouldn't). But in the end, it probably doesn't matter too much what you have set for that profile, as the phone should be sleeping most of the time anyway, shouldn't it?

Profiles are useless, the ondemand governor should scale down your cpu by default when not in use, that' s the whole point of this governor!
I have see a couple of people talk about their screen off / on call script, wherin clocks are limited to a different (lower) max freq when in a screen off / voice call state.
I did some searching and really couldnt come up with anything, if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
Thanks!

no one ?
Use System Tuner from market
SetCPU is an application that uses "Profiles" (Not the CM ones) so that each profile can be set to a different CPU governor and frequency. This way you can set a screen off or a high temperature profile to use a lower frequency. Fortunately, SmartassV2 has a very good frequency management so you really don't need SetCPU if you are using it.
i swear i have seen something like an init.d script that does what im asking... id much rather not have another app running in the background.

1% battery drain in 4 hours... minimal screen off frequency... higher frequency only if requested by kernel. I bet your script does only the minimal screen off frequency.
You can do that in tasker app. Its paid app but you can grab a beta trial from their site.
ok... lets try and rephrase this question.
i DO NOT WANT AN APP THAT HAS TO ALWAYS RUN.
i want a scrip that will detect when the phone is in voice call state and limit the phone to a frequency of my choice.
Hi!
Is there an app that can change the CPU governor according to useage? I mean, I'd like to have the governor on "ondemand" setting, while I'm not using the phone (the screen is black), but it would be cool if an app would set the governor to "performance" as soon as the screen lights up. It could be done with Tasker perhaps, but Tasker doesn't want run on my phone, doesn't even want to install...
Is there an app for this? Thanks for the answer!

Such a dumb, I am... Of course SetCPU! I've been using NoFrills for some time, I'm changing that. Thanks!!!
Use Set CPU, go the 2nd page in that and there you can select profiles.
For example suppose your kernel allows you upto 667 MHZ, then you can select in the profile something like :
When in call, max 300 Mhz.....or Screen Off, Max 200 MHz.
in the 3rd page of Set CPU, it also allows you to undervolt, you may try with -50 in the values.

My default profile is 390-1170 MHz with performance scaling, and I've set up a profile for screen off with 390-780 MHz with ondemand scaling. I suppose I can set it to lower frequencies as you suggested.
How does undervolting affect CPU usage? I don't know much about these things
Hi guys i have a tiny problem i need clarifying please.
Before anyone says anything i already asked this question and no one seemed to be able to answer it to me. So here it goes.
My question is can we combine the two. What i mean is use Voltage Control to set cpu Voltages and use No Frills to adjust Cpu clock speeds. Voltage Control on my latest rom that i am on Hyperdroid latest version does not save my overclocking and reverts back to stock frequencies 1200Mhz-200Mhz even after i save it on boot. I leave it to reboot for a few minutes till the phone settles and go to check it and governor and i/o schedulers are saved and my voltages also but the only thing that reverts back is the cpu clock frequencies. When using No -Frills though it saves my overclocking.
So my question can i use one app to overclock and the other to undervolt and use them both at the same time?
I know stupid question and i am pretty sure that i know the answer already but if i can get a few opinions regarding the matter i would appreciate it..Also why on the latest firmware it reverts back to stock frequencies even when we save it on Voltage Control is it a bug or something and does anyone if it will get fixed as i really like that app since it does everything i need it to.
Thanks again
you can use both, but I don't see why, VC has also CPU sliders so you can set both parameters from one app

Yes i know that. But see the whole point of asking this question is that Voltage Control reverts my frequencies back to stock..So say i try to set my cpu clock frequencies to 1600max-200min and then save it and set on boot once i reboot my phone it reverts it back to stock frequencies...Hence why i am currently using only No frills at the moment till this issue is fixed...And hence why i was wondering if i can undervolt with one app and overclock with the other
I would like manually create settings for when my CPU is overclocked and underclocked and I was hoping to find some help with this. I want my phone to underclock to roughly 800mhz - 900mhz when the screen is off, battery is bellow 20% and when the phone is above a certain temperature and overclocked to 1.1ghz at all other times. How would I go about doing this? I am new to tasker and there doesn't seem to be an option for CPU controll. If someone could advise me how to do it, rather than just direct me somewhere I can download a profile, I would appreciate it.
I am using a HTC Desire with VJ's CM 10.1 rom (performance control is not in settings as of now, using daemon to overclock)
