Hi I have some questions involving SetCPU on my Motorola Atrix. For one, I'd like to know the ideal profile settings people have to maximize their battery life. Also, does the Atrix have scaling governors at all? The scaling sections are blacked out for me. Perhaps if I got a custom kernel which supports them? Any help would be much appreciated.
"Ideal" can be for some and can't for other, so is very difficult but in my case just have one profile an is less 5% of the battery and is 216-456. Governors will be blacked out at least for Edgan and Faux123 is normal, Faux123 is OC by default and Edgan need to use setcpu to kick in

Well I meant the best profiles to save battery like when the screen is off set the cpu max and min to the lowest values. I basically just wanna know what people have found are the best settings for them. And I'm really not sure what you're talking about in the second part of your reply. Are those custom kernels? Also, does that mean there's no way to get scaling on the Atrix? Thanks.

I have 312 and 216 for screen off. I had tried 216 216 like some people do, but couldn't deal with the wake lag. Still have some with 312 but not as much. TBH not sure how much it helps battery but i think it helps.
Thanks, I set that profile. Any other ones people can suggest to help with battery life?

I am using Faux123 kernel with CM7 on my Atrix 4G and after a quick look, i've seen that almost 75% of my cpu time was already spent at the lowest possible speed 216 MHz. So only downclocking the maximum 1000 MHz might help with the battery life, i guess, but will the effect on performance be acceptable for dialy use? I bought this phone for a dual core 1 Ghz processor, why should i use it like it is 600 Mhz? In the end it all depends on what and how much are you willing to give up.
question sorry if this was brought up
can you maintain your overclock the whole day?
lets say i want my overclock to stay at 748/480 the whole time is that OK or what?
or is it recommended that you play with your scaling? example switching between 600/480 if regular use and to 748/480 when playing games etc
THANKS sorry i'm new here. please do understand

from what I understood(sort of) the link was about governers and schedulers. I use smartass myself but is it ok to leave my OC the whole day?
Mine is set on 600/245 smoothass in regular use and 825/245 performance when playing games or watching high resolution videos. I can maintain 844Mhz for about 30-60min and 864Mhz for about 5-10min but i really don't want to push him that far...825 Mhz is plenty for mine as i got best Quadrant score on this overclock 1302 points! mik_os 6.5.7
Find a stable OC, then you can stay on it for the whole day.
I use 480/787 Mhz all the time. .

I'm pretty sure the consensus is to not set min below 480 as it does not save power.

Actually It does save power
Yeah, it's OK!
I have it at 480/730 smartass for over half an year and didn't encounter any problems.
You can set up profiles with a different min value (closer to the original one), but when you wake up the device (by activating the screen for example) the CPU will take longer to scale up to an usable freq... it will "lag" for a couple of seconds.
480/730 MHz is the best balance of battery saving and performance!
Hi, i have just flashed the new HyperDroid v5.2.21 (Full wipe) and i wanted to know if i can overclock my SGS2 from 1.2ghz to 1.5ghz, if so how do i go about it?
Do i need to change the current kernel (XWL1)?
P.S ive heard its stable, but does it drain the battery?
Thanks XDA Community
Hello there. Yep you can overclock but you need a kernel that supports it. [url="http://gokhanmoral.com]SiyahKernel[/url] is a good choice. With that, use the Voltage Control app from the market.
However I know nothing about battery draining or stability... dualcore 1.2GHz mobile processor is more than enough for me, and the phone can get pretty hot under maximum load, same with the MALI GPU which can be overclocked to 400MHz (but since it has 4 cores and the phone has no active heatsinks it could get risky...)

Yes you can overclock and you can stick with the kernel that comes with Hyperdroid. I am currently Overclocking 1.6ghz max and 200 min. Not touching voltages though. Use No-Frills app to set it up. My advice though to you no point in overclocking as 1.2ghz is good enough as it is..And the kernel you are on is good enough...It is stable depending what voltage frequencies you use..I say leave it as they are. And like i said download No-Frills from the market..Set your clock speeds and that should be it..Choose a governor and off you go

No-Frills ? AndroidMeda Developers recommend Voltage Control (and I personally like it much more than No-Frills, too) with their kernel.
+ Here is a small guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036020 how to test your OC Settings, I use it when I am testing new voltages.
Thanks for the replies i will try out the no-frills app and see what happens. What would you say is the best governor to use? and wouldnt you recommend going over 200min?

Pongster uses No-Frills. The rest of the team uses Voltage Control. And to avoid any freezes or random reboots leave the voltage settings as they are till you get to grips with the overclocking. Hence why i suggested No-Frills as currently Voltage Control for me kept on reverting back to stock frequencies..And yes there is a way round it but it is to much of an effort

I am currently using ondemand and Sio as scheduler. You can not go wrong with that. Like i said..choose a governor choose a scheduler and let them do the work...I also do recommend Voltage control but No-frills is simple and does the job for you. And no i would recommend either go to 100min or stick with 200...I am currently on 1.6max and 200 min

I personally use Sleepy governor and noop scheduler, but everyone uses different governors and schedulers...
I think 200 min is OK...100 MHz is too low and 500 is too high...

Thanks for the support guys, and yeah i am new to this whole android/rooting scene so no-frills looks like a nice simple and easy option for now until i get to grips with things. i will try out the differen governors and schedulers and see whats best for me.
P.S Neo is yours running stable at the maximum 1.6ghz?

If your running performance governor your cpu runs at Max Freq so battery is going to be terrible plus the fact you have high usage,
please give more detail like rom kernel etc if you use task killers or greenify, ram managers
Other things like gaming

Try using OnDemand governor and if you have it use nightmare governor as its performance based
and see how battery is also try wiping battery stats in recovery after full charge

pegasusq, LionHeart, SmartassV2 are good governors try to balance performance and battery.
row and noop are good schedulers, but sio performs better in dual core processors.

Theres a modified konabess out there - also a couple of profiles. Check adreno Group on Telegram. Running fine
OK thx you.
I am using KonaBess. According to my experience sweet spot is 730mhz for gpu (stock freq is 719mhz)
731 mhz fails somehow (2.5fps in 3dmark). Maybe due to trustzonefx
I have a undervolted preset and it is stable. (test many hours with playing genshin)
Thx alot mate you succeeded to undevolt to? How much The lowest? What volt you are use can you send The file thx alot.
For other phones with gen 2 can rich 730? And The best highs? Turbo l1? Or less

It depends, but normally I shut off the thermal engine on my phone with root, When I play genshin impact. The CPU temps are between 75-80 degrees and the GPU temp is between 70-75 after heavy gaming. ( I am playing with Blackshark Funcooler 3)
CPU Temps can momentarily spike up to 85-87 degrees in fights on various lands.
the reason why these temperatures are so high may be because I have removed the SoC temperature limit. With SoC thermal limiting on, I don't think it will exceed 70 degrees, but with thermal limiting on, you may experience sudden FPS drops in the game, both as you play the game and in mob battles.
edit:
I suggest you install Game booster plus and turn on framebooster in the setting for Genshin Impact, I also play with GPU fixed to 730mhz (can be done from Thundertweaks app)
The reason I fixed the gpu to 730mhz is because it reduces sudden FPS drops in the game.
In general, FPS drops occur because the framebuffer codes in the game are not coded correctly. I hope the game will fix these bugs in the future.
I used a decent undervolt across all clock speeds and bumped the top clock to 730mhz. Nothing lags, no artifacts either on 3dMark Wildlife Extreme. Konabess config file attached.
