At this point, any rom is best. You need to underclock your phone while the screen is off. Free app CPU Manager in the market, has all the OC performance options from CM.
I would assume freeza's would be beastly because its a bare minimum ROM.
Any senseless ROM with set CPU underclocked while the screens off is probably your best bet. Use the stock kernel too.

This! I am currently using the "Senseless ROM" and love the battery life, and pretty much everything else about it. As for a Sense ROM, I've used 2, and I found "Viper ROM" to be the best out of those two. If you're into Sense, Viperboy's ROM is great.
I've been trying the various roms, and so far I consistently am getting the best mix of performance/battery life from Viper's rom.
Viperrom is great on battery. Just dont flash any overclocking kernel and just let its built in Deamon script to control your cpu. You can use setcpu also but from what I'm reading daemon does a better job.
Im using viper right now also, damn good ROM.

My bad...CPU Master

Cough G1 Cough Ack Apps & Themes Cough
At this point they are all pretty much the same... Just use SetCPU to underclock.
Its funny the phone runs perfectly fine underclocked in the 500's for normal use.
Vipersrom. Then follow this guide.
My phone has been used moderately for 9 hours and its @79%
Just wondering why you mentioned download launcher pro or adw? Does sense have different effect on battery life?
Hey all,
I've been using CPU Master on my Rezound since I rooted it. But I used to use SetCPU on my Dinc. My question is, which do you prefer? I have the free version of CPU Master and paid for SetCPU.

I paid for setcpu too but I was having issues so i tried cpu master before buying it. least try cpu master and if it setcpu is better then get your refund

Under/overvolting and io scheduler selection is really the only things it offers in the paid version. I've used setcpu on my og droid and on my incredible, but I bought CPU master when I got my rezound and I actually prefer it over setcpu. One thing I like is that the profiles are already set up for you, all you have to do is enable or disable them.
I've had really good luck with CPU tuner
Free and has a lot of features.
Under 8 posts for me so I can't post the stupid link... Just search for it in the market and check out the reviews.
If I wanted to undervolt, how far under should I go? My kernels have always handled voltage for me lol

this varies from person to person. needs to be scaled right while you're finding the sweet spot. I do -25 for each frequency. run it for awhile to see if you get a random reboot or lag and just reverse what you did. I did -25 for each until I have time to drop them further

Thanks very helpful. Seeing how well the undervolting goes before I make my final decision
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Depends upon the kernel. I found SetCPU worked better with stock and Ziggy's kernel. With dsb's smartass v.2 kernel, I find CPU Master works better.
Yeah I know that each phone individually responds differently to cpu/voltage changes. The dinc i had before this would take any frequency and kernel would throw at it. However underclocking/volting on my Rezound almost always ends in fc's

I use SetCPU mostly if I can... Provides more information than CPU master pro, I have both... The only thing that CPU master pro does that SetCPU doesn't is change voltages, in a crappy way though. I don't go through every clock to change them, that takes way too long. Instead I use incredicontrol to change them all simultaneously... I've never had problems with one over the other. They have both worked for me on all the kernels for this phone.
setcpu
I'm using Ineffabilis v1.0 with Ziggy's kernel. SetCPU has worked for me with no issues. I haven't tried CPU Master but I guess I haven't had the need to cuz SetCPU is working for me. I just don't completely get the whole undervolting. I understand the concept but don't know how to apply it with SetCPU, if that's even possible.

I haven't tried to play around with voltages on the rezound, but on my tbolt I could drop voltages 100 each and be fine, but couldn't run at 1.8 no matter what I tried.

You can't change voltage with SetCPU. CPU Master can. Correct me if I'm wrong but kernels can also effect voltage. Amirite?

How to extended the battery life time and minimize it's draining during your daily usage of the SGS2 ?
Also is. Over clocking. Increases the battery draining ?
To extend your battery life, stop using your phone and/or decrease the screen brightness when using it.
Overclocking will probably increase the battery drain if your phone is using the overclocked frequencies.
To increase your battery life turn your phone off every time you are not using it, turn it on when you want to use it, that will get you good battery life.
Honestly search this forum there are a handful of threads that give guides and tutorials on how to maintain battery life not that difficult to search my friend.

Use it as a paperweight and that should be good enough..Or just keep having the charger in it while you are at home
anyway lame jokes aside. get yourself a decent kernel. in your case speedmod. set the governor of your choice and let the magic begin......seriously for you that kernel should be fine. just do not get to excited when the magic begins and you start kissing your phone though just do not tell us here
Hope that helps mate

Speedmod is fine on default. No need to change governor unless you want to try conservative but I recommend to leave speedmod as is.

ohh u mean scaling of the cpu
oh yeh i never change that :L
its on ondemand now on setcpu
To be honest you don't need to use any of those type of application you are better off just removing them and leaving the kernel on complete stock.

Governors are for scaling cpu as you just said. As Nikz said if you are using speedmod no point using any cpu apps as the kernel does all the work for you

Ahh tried an earlier build and was fine but one thing I don't like about CM is the camera quality, I know it's not a digital camera but a TW rom produces better pics.
this may be dumb, but is there an app or something that can tell me where im clocked at? I think I'm supposed to be at 1.5 ghz

SetCPU, System Tuner etc. You need to have a custom kernel in order to change cpu speeds. If you're not sure whether you have a custom one or not, try installing one of those apps and if you're able to change cpu settings, you're on a custom kernel. congratulations
thanks man...i am on a custom. I just want to know if im running at 1.5ghz like im supposed to, or does it not run at that all the time?

That depends on which governor you choose. I'm going to go ahead and guess you're on an Anthrax kernel. Each governor behaves differently, but only the performance governor locks your phone to the max speed you selected. I'd recommend intellianthrax or interactive, I personally use intellianthrax or lagfree. Lagfree is a really good one IF you don't overclock, but since you want to run at 1.5 ghz, I'd stay away from lagfree. If you use lagfree, your phone will rarely ever drop the clock speed down below 1 ghz when it doesn't need it.

Yes you are overclocked. 1.18 GHz is the stock CPU speed for our phones, so any number over 1.18 for the max frequency is overclocked

You are always using a governor, even if you don't have an app for it. The governor tells the phone how to use your CPU, basically. See where it says "ondemand" in that screenshot you posted? Well, ondemand is the governor you're using. If you click ondemand, there should be a drop down menu that opens up that gives you all the governor options available for the kernel you're using
thanks man

I like to use the virtuous overclock deamon, it is said to work better. But most roms have not implement it here.
tammyjustin, I assume you're using MeanROM since 486MHz-1512MHz / Ondemand governor are the default settings built into that ROM. I just started playing around with Anthrax kernels and MeanROM a few days ago.
A word of advice if you're going to be playing with overclocking... You need to be aware that you shouldn't use any overclocking tools like SetCPU with MeanROM unless you modify a system file first to disable the built-in clocking and voltage controls, or you can use only the built-in controls. I was getting strange instability with MeanROM before I realized what was going on with the internal clock management and SetCPU (which I have always used). Basically SetCPU and the internal clock controls in the ROM were both trying to manage the clockspeed and it was causing stability problems. Now I'm using only the internal settings and it is far more stable.
MeanRom ICS 2.4
Hey. I have been using meanRom for a while now, and the newest version (MeanROM ICS v2.4) is eating my battery too quickly. I was wondering if there was a way to disable dual cores all the time or reduce the processor speed to try and save some battery. I have never attempted to change max speed or change the number of cores being used before so i really don't know where to start.
I saw in inbREDed 5.2.5 they have a "Core control in quicksettings, change to dual/single core on the fly". Is that available to use in MeanROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that is correct. but I text a lot and don't need dual core while sending texts. I have to charge my phone twice a day right now. =\
I was hoping I could on the fly turn on / off dual cores or change the CPU speed.
With previous versions of MeanROM I only had to charge my phone at night. I have thought about down grading, but it's pretty stable right now, i just want better battery life. So that is why I wanted to change the CPU settings.

Mikey did say something about his next version (which will be based on the Sprint OTA when it finally arrives) will dial back performance a little to extend battery life. Maybe this is what he has in mind.
Here's my 2 cents.... Overclocking is great for speed but it cripples battery life. I used to be obsessed with OC and quadrants, but then I realized I can't tell a difference from 1.2 GHz to 1.8 GHz. OC can also make your phone unstable. Honestly you probably wouldn't need to over clock if you don't know much about it. So I wouldnt spend too much time worrying about it
Do what you want though cause that's just my opinion

It's normal. If you're on the faux's intellidemand governor, it changes the frequency based on the load you have on the phone. It does this to save the battery. I highly recommend you to leave it as is, because if you lock it at a high frequency when the phone is not being used, it can drain the battery like crazy.
