Is there an app that will let you overclock depending on the app?
I think i've tried most of the popular progs, but they seem to be global overclocks
Right you are. Most programs use global overclocks, like SetCPU, but it allows you to only set profile parameters to certain items like Battery, Screen, etc.

If you have root and a kernel that support it, you can effect this with Tasker - I bump the speed up and change governors when I stream audio on my little Aria to prevent choppy playback, overwise I run underclocked for better battery life.

So Whats the difference.
I prefer Tegrak just because it allows finer control over CPU settings but at the same time it seems more Dev's are willing to add setcpu support into the kernel vs tegrak.
My question is what is the real difference and which do you recommend?
I currently run both, setcpu for its profiles and Tegrak for its finer control, but should I switch to just setcpu or just tegrak?
TIA
Tegrak is a module which sits on top of an unaltered kernel, and alters it. Set CPU needs an altered kernel to function. Tegrak I think is the better and more stable option

I don't think it's wise to have two apps controlling cpu settings at the same time. I would stick to one app only.

Don't run both, they will conflict with one another.
Hey guys. I'm looking for an app that is similar to SetCPU, but I can set my CPU overclock/underclock settings specifically for different applications. Meaning, I could have my Mantano Reader always at 300MHz but have Modern Combat 3 always at 1300MHz.
Anyone know of how to do this? I'm trying to maximize my battery. I'm on CM7.2 (Mirage Kang) and I have V6 but I'm still seeing some depressing battery loss just browsing with Wi-Fi on.
That's what your governor is for, it up clocks and/or down clocks the CPU according to what type of task is being performed.

Ah, I see. I just got my Nook Color around a week ago and I've installed Mirage Kang so I am extremely new to all this.
Could you point me in the right direction? What app for this would you suggest, SetCPU or something like Tasker?
Its under cyanogen mod settings in the settings menu.
Setcpu won't work with CM7.

I know of those settings (along with Nook Tweaks). What I was looking for was setting specific CPU settings for different apps. Like,
Mantano Reader : Always 300MHz
Andy-83 Calculator : Always 300MHz
Modern Combat 3 : Always 1300MHz
etc, etc, etc.
Specific settings for each app, not just generalized overclock/underclock settings for all apps.
(I hope I am explaining this well enough.)
I think you can set up rules such as those with Tasker.

There is no need to set it for each app. Just set it to on demand and the governor will automatically adjust the clock speed as it is needed.

Hi everyone,
This is the first time owning a Samsung device, so the pegasusq governor is a new thing to me, I read about what it actually is on a thread but I wanted to ask to fellow S3 owners what are they using for great battery life - performance ratio?
I'm running Omega 6.0, slipstreamed loads of crap that is not needed (from the "safe to remove" thread) with Apex Launcher. I'm only using 2 homescreens, dark wallpaper, etc, the typical works to try and improve battery life.
Now the thing is, with SetCPU I'm running the default pegasusq governor ranging from 200mhz -1400mhz. Is the pegasusq governor the right choice here? Isn't it basically a variant of the OnDemand governor but Samsung proprietary for quadcore CPUs? I also recall reading a mention of S3's freezing or not waking up when it's set from the lowest underclocking point (200mhz), is that right? I've been using this for a few hours and no problems yet, but just wanted to know what are everyone elses experiences and what's the best configuration that has worked individually for you!
Cheers! Hope I complied with the rules, I did do a search but didn't find anything of this nature apart from a few separate questions!
I use the same governor, 100Mhz - 1704Mhz. No issues. Works great.
Siyah kernel is using pegasusq so i think it is the best governer there is. if you're on stock kernel or lowest underclocking is 200mhz but in custom kernels you can use 100mhz.
I have set my SetCPU to 100mhz - 1200mhz and undervolting all 18-steps to -50mv. I seldom reboot my phone but not encounter any freeze on boot
You should try tweaks for improving the battery life and peformance. Like supercharger, zipalling , random build.prop tweaks.... Etc xD but yeah use the samsungs "for quad core"
Thank you for the prompt replies everyone!
I remember with my Desire the whole development community was pretty much "set in stone" if you will, so it was really easy to choose a kernel etc.
Is there a kernel that you recommend? Is anyone using a "Screen Off" profile without any problems? If so what's the range you have it set at? That's what I was mostly scared as I remember on my Desire the lockscreen or taking calls would lag quite a bit but obviously this is a different beast altogether!
I'm also using AutoKiller Memory with Extreme Settings and some tweaks applied as well.
I use Siyah clocked 100-1704 screen on. 100-300 screen off. No issues.

I set mine to 100-600 not having any issues, when reiveng notification/phone calls doesn't lag at all. Just don't use "power saving" option.

3rd party apps don't to any good to battery life it only consumes more(for me) cause it's always running in your background which consumes memory and also battery life.
stock task manager is pretty good, been use it always. Closing all apps and clearing memory

Nah, Autokiller isnt a task manager.
Basically, Android automatically kills empty processes (etc) at specified RAM levels. It does this anyway. But on High end RAM packed devices, these values are too low to be of any use as the phone will seldom hit that low a level of free RAM.
Autokiller simply adjusts these values to be more useful for high end devices.
Actually, you don't need autokiller to do this. You can do it in an init.d script although I've not tested this on the SGS3 as I haven't seen a need.
Here is an example I wrote for my Desire AOSP ROM:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "8192,16384,19200,23040,25600,30720" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
Default SGS3 is:
Code:
8192, 10240, 12288, 14336, 16387, 25600
These are for:
Foreground App, Visible App, Secondary Server, Hidden App, Content Provider, Empty App
Is there a way to manually control both the clockspeed and voltage of the CPU?
I am using the sense 4.5 v3 and I use the program called "no frills CPU control" ans I have set the clockspeed to 486mhz if I am just web browsing, yotube, twitchtv, 1080p h264 hw video and so far it is stll very responsive and smooth most of the time.
I only raise the clockspeed to 1.026ghz if I am watching 720p videos thatis not supported by he accel. Because it gets choppy.
I want to be able to manually control the voltage so I could undervolt which should give me more battery life.

System tuner allows u to undervolt by clock frequencys and it allows our to control the clock speed

In order to undervolt you have to be running a custom kernel...it's not supported on stock. Try Awesome Sauce or Evilz, they both support user controlled voltage. You can use system tuner or voltage control, but I had problems getting my voltages to stick after reboot with both. The Viper4g ROM has a built in daemon that allows you to change voltage and it persists until you change it...it's a great ROM otherwise as well, highly recommended.

On system tuner you have to go to settings>active tweaks>re-apply CPU settings and put it to int.d script, it should auto reapply it after each boot

Using Set CPU atm. great prog. I like that you can set profiles for specific situations, along with the ability to control voltage, freq., etc.
I'm looking to branch out. What do you use and like that has these features? I've tried System Tuner Control, NS Tools, and another program whose name escapes me atm, but, as nice as they were, they seemed on the heavy side, w/r/t battery consumption and/or RAM usage. My thinking's that separate apps for each function would also hog space, etc.

IMO settings/performance/cpu is enough
