I have a rooted photon with no custom rom just rooted would this app help me to save battery can anybody testify?

If you underclock the phone it will save battery life. And you should be able to do that, however, I know you have to be unlocked with the custom kernal to overclock, so the same may apply to underclocking but if not. You can save some battery life with "ROM Toolbox" setting the CPU to Powersave and lowering the Max CPU. I do it generally when I'm sleeping. My two cents.
As long as a kernel doesn't have a perf lock I'm sure it can be underclocked. With SetCPU you can set profiles, so I could see the chance of saving battery if you were to set a screen off profile to run at the lowest mhz your phone will tolerate. I've done this on both my Hero and Evo when I had them and it worked wonders. I have yet to try with my Photon as I just got it yesterday and want to see how stock performs so I have something to compare to. I say try it out and give us some results! lol..
Good idea and trying out now
.....will be back.

I will have to mess with the profiles.

Tried this stock kernel rooted, and the under clock didn't seam to take effect when you go into the advanced options it still showed the CPU going up to 1GHz.

I don't think the stock kernal supports cpu modding. I could be wrong though.

Underclocking does not work with the stock kernel. You'll need to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernels to both over/underclock.
Yep after one day of testing my battery was dying quicker! Uninstalled I might unlock it but losing 4G to me is not worth it right now.

Yeah. If you use 4G often I wouldn't. But supposedly there is a work around.

In the Dev section, I believe there was a thread with some stock tweaks, where you didn't have to flash a rom or unlock or any of that jazz. You might try looking there. I know some of that stuff was kinda cool.

theres a app in the market called system panel lite it shows you the process of both cores and the photon does underclock while idle on its own the app also shows the cpu usage in real time my stock kernal went to around 246 mhz with that app running and just fyi the other core is only used ondemand..
It appears to be working just fine on mine. I'm also using the 198 leak and rooted.

Just downloaded this app and have to say its amazing. If anyone can help me setup a battery efficient and performance profile it would be.greatly appreciated . No clue how to work this app yet.

I used to set the profiles to drop the cpu to low levels while it's sleeping, but the three times I've tried with SetCPU v.2.0.3 it crashes on me, or more accurately it never wakes up from sleep, I have to hard reset.
Yeah started doing that exact same thing to me. Uninstalled and refunded... Not playing the freezing games.. Unless im underclocking too much any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You are probably underclocking too much. I tested with some various settings for the Screen Off and the only underclock that seems stable for the Screen Off (a.k.a. sleep) profile is 800MHz. Anything lower, and it will do this.

Don't set the minimum speed below 200MHz. The phone's stock minimum speed is 200, so anything below that can cause problems (wake up and freezing mostly). I've got my minimum at 400MHz and it's running smoothly.

Did you change the scaling from "conservative"?
i had all tons of issues when i changed the scaling, it would freeze every 30-60mins, I read on here, that it will cause a lot of issues, and should be left on "conservative". I tried that, i am running JAC's OC/UV kernel-no voodoo-no colorfix. OC'd to 1.2ghz, and have been solid for 4 days.
Works! Thx.

Oh yeah...good point. I should have thought of that too. It even says on SetCPU's download page "Galaxy S devices: use conservative scaling."

I just uninstalled setcpu because it was really draining my battery. i tried all kinds of settings but it was sucking my battery dry. now my battery life is good again...
How do I change the default voltage settings on extreme? Right now, my phone won't run 1.4ghz on 1175. I was hoping to increase that to 1180 or above so that it can be stable.
I ran the stress test on setcpu for like 1 hour and it was stable, but after I ran quadrant, it crashed and locked up my screen. I think I only need a little more voltage to make the setup stable.

Do you feel a boost in speed?
mine was showing only 1188 when i first installed WTSB rom and it wouldn't let me overclock like it said the included kernel would. So i reinstalled it and now my set cpu tells me max cpu is 1026mhz.
i've uninstalled, rebooted, installed, etc, multiple times with no change.

So the kernel that everyone says is fine with the WTSB doesn't work with my phone as the other 3 kernels that everyone says are perfectly fine don't work as well.
so the next guess is what since i've tried 4 kernels so far with the same results?
also, i've been around for a while but never posted so i can't post in the dev forum yet. This isn't my first rooting rodeo but i'm new to the evo 3d. I've never had problems like this on any of the other platforms i've used.

Frankly, I don't see the benefit to overclocking anyways... much less putting in as much effort as that guy is to do it...
SetCPU isn't going to take well with a temp root... and you can't over clock without a custom kernel (unless you really want to **** your phone up). Just s-off, root, install CWM via ROM Manager, boot into recovery, flash a custom ROM followed by a custom OC/UC kernel and GAPPS. Also, make sure to set your profiles correctly. Do it right and you'll have amazing battery life AND a phone pushing 2GHz clock speed.

It doesn't work to overclock yet unless u have a custom kernel installed. There is one out that I know of in EVO LTE original development starts w a Z.

Not looking to overclock just use for scaling processor when screen is off or overheated and things of that nature. I tried to overclock my OG EVO once and things went horribly wrong. I will not mess with that again
