This is a very specific, very non-important question. As such, I'm putting it here rather than in the MIUI revamped thread.
I've read in several places how SetCPU causes system instability and, according to the creator of MIUI Revamped, most kernel devs agree with that assessment. As someone who has never had an issue with SetCPU, whether on Froyo 2.2, 2.2.1, or MIUI 2.3.5, I'm wondering why this has become the consensus.
I'd like to hear from anyone who has had difficulty with getting SetCPU to accept and stably run settings that other programs like Pimp My CPU and Voltage Control handle perfectly well.
Depending on the kernel setcpu works better for me on some roms while pimp my cpu and vc work on most mainly because they are specifically made for our phone ....
Way back when the neo kernel was on neo 10 I had issues using anything but setcpu so I used tk's glitch because it never gave me problems but now i seem to have zero issues using neo 17, glitch, or bali with setcpu, vc, and pimp my cpu installed all at the same time

Set CPU for some reason is no longer working for me. My settings wont stay set on boot. I'm looking for another overclock option, I'd like to also have profile management for off screen and temp, etc... thanks
If you want profiles, I know of no other voltage programs for the Galaxy S that have them besides SetCPU. For voltage control, we have Pimp My CPU and Voltage Control apps. Both were built with the Galaxy S series in mind.
You may want to simply uninstall/reinstall SetCPU first to see if that fixes your problem. Also, what ROM are you on? If memory serves, I had a similar issue back when I used Project V.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. Reflashing the kernel wiping data, cache etc.. I'm on bi winning v3. The problem started when i tried tegrak overclock. Just wanted to give it a whirl, didn't like it and when i put set CPU back on the settings wouldn't stick.
maybe try romtoolbox. it allows you to designate max and min clock speeds as well as the governor. unfortunately no profiles are supported but the app is in the market and has a lot of helpful features with anyone with root access that is on a custom ROM.
I've been running Overcome 2.3.1 for awhile now and I'm interested in possibly overclocking and/or using the V6 memory hack but I have reservations. I'm wondering what you guys are using that's stable to accomplish speeding up your tabs. I read about certain problems with Flash while using Pershoot's kernel and I haven't really found any substantial info on overclocking. I own SetCPU and have done it before but not sure what kernels support it on the 10.1. Fired it up on my Tab and it kept crashing and while changing the governor worked not much else was.
I'm not against changing ROMs to accomplish this but I'm not interested in buggy crap aka non-working camera/gps/usb charging.
Any suggestions or links would be appreciated.
update- installing pershoot's last hc kernel and then I'm going to try v6 - - any advice on what hacks boost performance the most besides OCing?
V6 isn't a hack. Its a script that modifys memory settings to increase settings. However, just run through the initial startup of V6 and it should automatically calculate the settings your tablet needs. Once that is done, you should also install the nitro lag nullifer (option 11 possibly) from the V6 script.
Also, task's v14 ROM is very stable and has few or no bugs and includes pershoots kernel. My wife uses it and she doesn't have any problems.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look at Task. V6 is next on my list.
**update** I see that V6 is in Task so extra thanks. Trying Task Full now.
I'm running Pershoot's latest hc kernel (january) and so far it's nice. Only issue is when forcing OC to 1400 all the time. If I do that the system's camera won't load at all. 3rd party cameras work fine though.
Can't believe how fast and stable it is at 1400. Any lag I had before is gone. I was beginning to think many apps had memory leaks since I still had occasional lags using Overcome but OCing has made that disappear. Kinda shocked battery life isn't impacted at all either. Samsung really dropped the ball with the software on this tablet.
Not seeing the bump in HD mkv video decoding using BSPlayer that I expected.
Just a heads up- hack means modify, among other things. For some it implies some type of negative action but many people don't view it that way anymore.
No problem. And when I think hack, I usually think about something that isn't executed very cleanly and half-ass work-arounds are necessary for it to work (e.g. hack-job)

Yeah like the ROM Samsung released for our tabs. Then there's the half-assed professional meaning. Example - Those hack devs at Samsung.
So far I'm liking Task 14. Spent most of my time trying to defeat the media scanner bug. Tomorrow I'm gonna get on V6 unless the script is already operating.
Hi guys! I have 2 topics and some questions about it, so here we go!
I am on stock firmware (XXBLFB), unbranded and rooted with CF-root, stock kernel as well.
1. How to control the CPU on the SGSIII?
Wake up from sleep is pretty long compared to other phones, usually takes 1-2secs. I guess thats because of the slow scaling of the CPU?
Plus, i've run CPU spy for a few days to see what clocks are used most and found out that the phone often uses 800mhz when its awake. In 2nd place is 500mhz, and only 3rd place is 1400mhz. I guess that results in the lags i sometimes experience when swiping the homescreens. Sometimes its 100% smooth (1,4ghz) but when i swipe really fast or after exiting an app it lags around (guess thats when the cpu is only on 800mhz). Note that I have energy saving turned off!
So what i'm looking for is a Kernel and an app or script that controls the governor (also what governor would solve my issues, on my DHD i usually used ondemand or smartass, are they available on the SGSIII?) and clockspeed (i wanna try how the phone performs with 1.2ghz).
I heard Siyah kernel does this pretty well?
2. So my 2nd question is, how will the phone behave when an OTA comes around and i have it rooted/modified? I changed some sound files, and lets asume kernel/cpu settings.
-Would i be able to still get OTAs?
-Would i run into any problems or will the modified files just be overwritten with the new ones?
-Would i still be able to reroot my phone after upgrading or should i use OTA root keeper?
Thx in advance and keep on rocking

1. Yup, you can try siyah for both cpu amd gpu control
2. You probably might not get ota if you are running custom roms or kernel unless the rom supports it..you mostly will have to update manually via odin.. modified files will be overwritten.. amd yes you can reroot your phone using cf root again..or you can flash the new stock firmware via mobile odin which allows you to keep root even after flashing by keeping everoot option ticked

Thx for your answer
so as long as i stay on stock rom/kernel i should be fine for OTAs, no matter what i modify in the stock rom? I mean stuff like sound files or Framework mods or CRT animations?
No OTA if custom /rooted .
Why use official updates join XDA and flash stock before OTA arrives .
jje
yeah i know but i'm looking for something that keeps my data/settings. I'm not in the mood for setting everything up again after flashing a rom atm

You will have to root your phone for crt and mods like that.. so your ota updates wont be successfully updated to your phone.. tho it mite let you know if an update is there.. but wont be successfull...

My friend bought xperia mini with stock ROM version 2.3.4, and i have xperia Live With Walkman.
with custom ROM CM7.2 FreeXperiaProject 150 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226715

So how the hell does she get smooth playing flash video from this TV site: http://www.navidiku.rs/tv-uzivo/tv-pink
While i have to overclock my phone to 1800Mhz to make it bearlly smooth...HOW is that possible???
I checked she had flash player 10.3.186.3 and i downloaded and installed that one but its the same thing...:/ i had Flash 11 before.
I can play Youtube video 360p smooth and around 1400Mhz 480p smooth. And phone is overall very snappy and fast, i mean i can play N64 games smooth, like Extreme G 2 for example...
So why is mine phone choppy while her is running smooth on stock 1000Mhz...?
1400...1800MHz are you serious.... :what:
You should not overclock your phone to such high frequency... It will burn down your CPU...

Could be a number of things, but without knowing every app on your Phone, additional tweaks you've made/not made etc it's hard to say.

I did not do any adittional tweaks, also, only apps that are running in the background are Settings and Lg keyboard, because i kill all the running apps when i reboot my phone to free all the RAM.
Also, as far as i know, you can overclock your phone as long as it doesn't overheat... But still, that's why i want to make it go smooth, i want to make overclocking less needed...
Looking at the kernel thread it appears to be quite old, try using the CM7 Kernel instead, make some tweaks and see how that goes.

Just to be clear, killing some apps in ram manually is not, efficient; it may really affect the performance (many topics/debates already out there). Try testing it with uninstalled apps (clean rom with minimal needed apps). And I agree many other factors may still affect it(scripts, tweaks, etc).
K thx. I will try out some other ROMs and kernels...hope to find something similar to CyanogenMod...I cant use kernel provided with ROM because phone is then loaded with bugs (no second speaker, camera freezing, touchscreen problems...etc) because fix for these only works on Rage kernel.
I'll start off by saying I basically bought the surnia Moto E 2015 (xt1526) specifically for an affordable way to play Pokemon Go. When it's working it works quite well but when in very high particle effect situations such as Battling or Evolving Pokemon it will start to get very hot and then eventually the frame rate will drop and sometimes the app will crash. I've tried a few different ROMs (Cyanogenmod 13, ResurrectionRemix, Cypher) and all seem to have the same issue. The only Kernel I've tried so far are stock and Squid Kernel.
That being said though I've had some experience tweaking and trying to optimize phones for normal app and multitasking usage but I've no experience at all trying to optimize for gaming. If anyone has gotten this particular phone to run optimally without crashes etc while gaming would you kindly suggest the Kernel, Roms and/or settings I should use for doing so? I've seen that were some good gaming ROM's for otus but those seem to have not been brought over to the surnia.
TLDR: surnia xt1526 overheats plummets in FPS and crashes while battling in Pokemon Go, any help appreciated
Update: After trying many different suggestions though I'm sure they did help out others they did not work for me. My phone's GPU was overheating up to 62 degrees sometimes in particular while many people seemed to be tweaking their CPU's mine was still overheating and crashing with those tweaks.
So this is probably a YMMV thing but what finally worked for me was installing a kernel that had some good GPU tweaks and the one I found best so far has been Inazuma R5 it actually has the GPU's lowest setting underclocked to 100mhz, with 400mhz still being the max and also makes use of adreno idler to keep the GPU cooler.
So if you've been having these issues I'd suggest opening up Kernel Adiutor after your phone starts crashing and overheating and taking note of the temperatures. If it's your GPU look for a kernel with adreno idler. If it's CPU then you can go with some of the other suggestions below.
Edit: I want to be clear that this is mainly only a problem with BATTLE after 30-60 consecutive minutes in Pokemon Go (sometimes also with mass evolution because of the heavy animation effects during evolution) So please specify, if you could, whether or not you've had a stable battling experience for extended periods of time.
Ive been using CM13 and squid kernel r16g and had been experiencing lags in pokemon go until i tried out some settings in kernel auditor. In kernel auditor under the tab low memory killer scroll down and select 'very light' and disable adaptive low memory killer(the first option in the 'low memory killer' tab) and now switch the tab to 'virtual memory' and scroll down to the last option and set the memory limit to around 460-480mb. Now under the tab 'cpu-plug' disable the intelliplug switch and there will be an option called as touch to boost, you just gotta enable that(this option is a major player in making the game to perform well).So just try this and see if this works, it worked very well for, i hope it does the same for you.
P.S. This may cause your battery to drain more as you set ur phone to perform more, So after you finish playing the game set it to default.

Can this phone run the game fine on stock firmware? Or have you only tried it on custom roms?

A friend of mine tried playing this on stock ROM, frame drops lags and crashes all the way.
Havent quite used the stock rom lately....just been flashing roms quite frequently, so can't really say abt the performance of this game in stock And yes, a must try ROM recommendation for all you guys, playing pokemon go, wud be slim rom. Flashed Slim rom yesterday and found it to be light weighted ROM compared to many other roms n that too without a custom kernel. I tried playing pokemon go while in Slim and it worked just fine without lags or crashes. The only thing is that Slim is based on AOSP/CAF so features r limited unlike other roms.
it works fine on mine phone with stock 6.0 and squid kernel, I think that your lags are caused by ram hungry apps in background
ive bought three boost phones in the last couple of weeks just for spoofing devices, all running perfect. I pushed twrp 3.0.2, official cm13, and that's it.
edit: here is the full setup i used when flashing and unlocking/rooting from my google drive:

I don't know I'm not really running much in the background just Gmail and Telegram, as I'm playing more and more it seems like it starts to overheat then starts lagging after doing battles for about 20mins straight. I have to put it in front of a fan and let it cool off before I can do battles again. So I think it's just a hardware issue. Unless anyone else has been able to do battles for more than 30mins without running in to lag and crashing

Yes. The only problem I've been having is I think my spoofer is getting kicked out do to low RAM every once in a while and I've got to reboot it. Everything else is all good. I really love these phones.
