Im rooted and running eclipse 1.3 the only fix/mod I've run is the hdmi mirroring service fix. I'm trying to judge the efficiency of underclocking for a science fair project. The idea is that underclocking will conserve the battery but that it will slow the phone down to the point where it will take so much more time to do stuff that the increased battery life is pointless because you can't accomplish as much.
But I digress. The real reason i'm here is because I can't get any cpu 'app' to work. I've tried rom toolbox, setcpu, and antutu cpu master. While they let me use the cpu sliders, my phone just ignores them.
I don't just want, I NEED a fix for this. Please respond quickly, science fair is in ten days and its 20% off my grade.
I will be sooooo grateful for any fix.
I'm not positive but I thought because we do not have an unlocked bootloader we can not adjust our kernal there for no over or underclock unless it can be controlled in a script but I'm not positive and I'm just making a snap response
I think that it is actually possible to underclock your phone. I just forgot where the file was lol. I will try to find it.

Have you tried the CPU script? Overmind or navenrob or someone made one. Try Liberty or Molten as well, they might be built in.
Just FYI in the future, try to start projects like this as soon as you get them. A few days will not yield enough data to really judge efficiently :/.
Just use navendrob's cpu script. Its part of his init.d hack. Then adjust the max clock freq with script editor overwrite the file and reboot.
I used setcpu to check the freqs because the max and min sliders will reflect what you enter for values.

U dont need to flash that hack tho.
The cpu hack is already in the eclipse's stock init.d script.
Just edit the part of 98(or 99?)tweaks that refers to cpu frequency. It is near the top
Use root explorer to find and edit...
Dont forget to delete the .bak that is made as it will run as well unless deleted.

I couldn't remember if Eclipse had the clock speed script in it. I knew the Speedy scripts dont. Must have gotten myself mixed up. Haha
Sent from my Eclipsed and ICS themed X2.
Thanks all, I just edited the script and so far, limiting it to only 1ghz has worked no problem.
One final question though, do any of you happen to now the default clock speed (what it would run at on eclipse if I left it completely untouched) when using the stock browser (no videos or multitasking)? My tests seem ti show it to be very close to 1ghz.
Ps. How do I edit the thread title? Id like to add "solved" to the title
Ummm 1ghz is what it was at for max frequency.... Before anything was changed
from my X2 roaming the north
Personally what I would do in your situation is adjust the max clock and use a few benchmarking programs. Run each max speed a couple of times with each program. Find an average benchmark value and record that for each max value you define. Its unbiased. Your 'feeling' of how the system runs isn't quantitative.

Just wondering if SetCPU is needed to access some of the "Smartass" features. I'm a total noob when it comes to rooting, and just installed the kernel yesterday.
So far I am loving the results but just wondering where the smartass features come in? I will install SetCPU if required. I want to use this kernel to it's utmost potential!
Thanks!

If you are running Das Bamf 1.6+, then you can use the toolkit in the ROM to switch the governor to smartass - no SetCPU needed. If you are running another rom, however, and want to change the governor to smartass (if it's not the default) then you will likely need SetCPU or NoFrillsCPU (not sure if that is the right name).
thanks for the reply. I am running stock rom with the kernel. I will spring for SetCPU in this case!

Using same kernel. I have mine overclocked all the way up (1497) on SetCPU using on demand scaling. Running BAMF remix 1.6.1. I've done this based on other members suggestions and loving it so far.
One more question, since I just installed the BAMF Remix ROM onto my phone:
since bamf has cpu control built in, which takes precedence? SetCPU or what I set in the BAMF toolbox?

You should really use the built in CPU Settings in the toolbox IMO you are just using more resources by using SetCPU.
And as for which one will override the other I believe it is just which one starts up first. If you have them both set the same you probably wont notice. Again though you are really wasting resources if you use SetCPU since this ROM has it built in.

Neither really takes "preference" - they both will adjust the CPU setting - such as, if you changed something in SetCPU and then went into the toolbox, you'll see that the changes were "made" there too. They both adjust the settings of the kernel, and both read the settings the same way.
I don't use SetCPU profiles, but if you do (like screen off, etc.) then those might take preference. But both will work the same, except that SetCPU has a few more "frills" like profiles and stuff. Like stated above, using the profiles will use more resources, however.
This app allows you to control your CPU voltages with an easy to use interface. You can increase or decrease voltages (undervolt or overvolt) for all frequencies or fine tune voltages for each individual frequency.

Do you have any plans to do kernels? I'm using Ziggy's which seems to be running fine now (although i had a reboot earlier, but who knows why that happened).
I ran just your kernels religiously on my Incredible and enjoyed the performance and stability.
Regardly, thanks again for all the work you do bro.
Works great!
I would recommend for the Rezound screen size to make the buttons a tad wider. They are rather tiny on this screen and sometimes when i click the voltage adjustment button I click on the value input and go into keyboard entry mode. I have rather smaller hands so i would imaging its more annoying for bigger people.
other than that, great job.
Awesome app. I didn't know you had incorporated cpu controls into it

I get random reboots on Ziggy's no matter what governor and clock speed.
It wipes dalvik cache when it happens too.
If i do a set cpu stress test, and let it sit there, eventually the freeze/reboot happens.

I get it random reboots too, I tried many ROMs out and i still get them. The conclusion I get from it is that we have bad chips.

I tried it a while back...works, but doesn't yet integrate well with ICS, as it does on Gingerbread.

Yeah it`s all explained in post 2 of the supercharger thread.

Nah... I`m stalking you LOL
Ok ... Ran the script, selected all recommendations, clean/rebooted, patched the services.jar, clean and rebooted, ran supercharger script again, now says I'm 100% supercharged.
Couple of questions at this point:
1.) Do I have to run the script every boot or periodically, or is it automated? I did this all with terminal emulator, didn't use the ScriptManager.
2.) There are a lot of options in the menu list( great to have options ) Anything else I should be doing in those options for selections above what is run by the script automatically( I did run the emisions to fix permissions just in case ).
3.) Not sure how to disable the two excepts from the OP in the script thread below on AOKP( or any other ROM before, never heard of these )
Code:
If you are using compcache and have lag or slow down after SuperCharging,
DISABLE compache, wipe caches and re-enable it.
Also make sure to uncheck/disable lock home in memory! (and leave it unchecked)
4.) How do I verify everything is all set, and running correctly after a reboot( or any other time I need )
5.) Does anything else have to be scheduled to run periodically? Does ScriptManager do scheduling, or do I have to add a cronjob or something.
Thanks for this, really thanks ... Look forward to testing the performance differences and letting fellow Prime users know what a great job the script dev did
EDIT: Script also says that I should use 1000HP but SuperWinFree Calculator Values are set so I'm "ok" should I enable the 1000HP settings from the script option to get better performance? Really want to milk what I can from this
If it was 100% supercharged without running 99supercharger manually, then it`s all set.
On ICS there is no lock home in memory option so don`t worry about that.
Same thing if you aren`t using compcache or zram.
You can verify everything just by running the V6 script just like you did before.
Script manager does do scheduling.. many do the detailing and engine flush and fix emissions via SM schedule.
You can go more aggressive but it may not bring any added benefit and only serve to unnecessarily hamper multitasking.
Just test with more aggressive and see if it`s snappier or not... though it likely won`t be lol

Maybe you can try deodexing the rom and use the mimic site.
Just leave it deodexed.

- deodexed the services.odex
- Drop the classes.dex to services.jar then upload it to mimic site.
- Download the modified services.jar file to /system/framework.
Will it work?
It is really pain my ass to go though all steps for the odexed ROMS.
Have anyone had a script or a simple step to modify the services.odex ??

Thanks for the work. So basically this script changes Android's auto mem mgr (AMM) default minfree values, which are six numbers in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree. Is that correct?
You mentioned empirical testing for your chosen values for the Milestone. How do you determine what is optimal for any given device? Do you simply take percentages of the total available RAM?
For the DIY'ers, is your script the same as putting the below two commands into an auto-start script, using Script Manager?
echo "A,B,C,D,E,F" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
where A,B,C,D,E,F are "kill thresholds" set for each of six priority groups. Note: Values are in 4KB pages, so divide by 256 to convert to megabytes.

I didn't rehash anything.
I made a totally new wheel.
Nobody else has thought to rearrange the adjs grouping limits, ADJ priorities so that some items are more important than others and all that is in conjuction with minfree values.
Minfree values is secondary.
AKMO or AMM or other Minfree managers have always done that.
That's only the gas.

Thanks for the note. I've skimmed through your script, and saw that you also write out the ADJ file (along with some other minor tweaks). Linux mem use isn't my forte, but the below explains it simply enough.

Ok so I asked this question in another thread, but it really wasn't the correct place to ask. Plus i will update it to include more of what i actually know. (Which isn't much btw) =]
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 either disable dual cores from being in effect while all the time when the screen is on or reduce the processor speed (ie remove over clocking or over clock it a bit less) to try and save some battery.
I have never attempted to change CPU max speed or change the number of cores being used before so i don't know where to start. I thought I read somewhere you can edit the settings in a file, but A. I don't know which file. and B. I don't know how.
I don't mind just having one core always running and I can edit the file and reboot to enable the 2nd core if necessary, however doing it on the fly like below would be pretty cool
On a side note:
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.

Best place to ask this is in the MeanROM ICS thread. MeanROM doesn't have overclocking ability right now due to the stock kernel so that isn't your issue. Ask over in that thread and I bet you'll get help

I've been using the latest energy rom, and its set up with default cpu settings (UC @ 1.2 min 192 mHz, etc.), and those settings are always default, no matter what I set up in say kozmikkick's aroma installer for his kernel. So, that leaves me with resorting to a cpu tuner, that I'd rather not use to alter what the rom is set up to, to have the phone run the way I want it to run. Where or how would I go about changing what the rom is set up to do? What files need to be edited? I just want the kernel to do what its designed to do, and have it set up once and know that it'll always run that way, without having a tuner run in the background.

I took the init.postboot.sh file and replaced it with the init.qcom.postboot.sh file from the stock Rom. I just renamed it to init.postboot.sh so it would replace what is in energy.
