Hi. I want to know if there is any profile app (Home, Work, School, Cinema,etc) with scaling processors suport (I.e. SetCPU).
For example, I want to set with one touch the phone to silent, screen with low brightness and ondemand scaling processor. Any one know an app that can do that?

You can use Tasker to create a widget which will launch your required profile/tasks.
Google "tasker widget" for a walkthrough
It is a paid app but worth every cent if you like automating your device.

its a paid app so therefore i will not post any links. but there is some info about using it on the galaxy s devices and how we should avoid some settings and use others to dodge the bugs...

Description:
SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU settings (capable of overclock and underclock) on a rooted Motorola Droid, Nexus One, G1, G2, Samsung Galaxy S, or one of many other devices to improve performance or save battery.
SetCPU also allows you to set up profiles to change the CPU speed under certain conditions, such as when the phone is asleep or charging, when the battery level drops below a certain point, or when the phone's temperature is too high. See the screenshots for examples of how you might set up profiles.
SetCPU's wide feature set make it useful to beginners and enthusiasts alike. Accelerate your processor to unleash your phone's multitasking potential, or dial your CPU's speed down to save battery.
Have an HTC Sense device with a stock ROM or kernel? If you are having trouble getting your settings to "stick," press Menu > Disable Perflock. You still have to be rooted.
Galaxy S devices: ondemand scaling is recommended. There are issues with Galaxy S kernels that may result in crashes if conservative scaling governor is used, or if the sleep profile "max" value is set too low. Please do not set the sleep profile too low, and avoid using conservative scaling.
Requirements:
all Android versions
Recent changes:
2.1.0
- Significant UI and user experience revamp, including a new background for the widget, and new notification icons
- Added a quick priority swap button to the profile lists
- Significantly improved the reliability of autodetect on certain kernels
- Numerous bug fixes and crash fixes

I understand it's a paid app in the market. But if you're an XDA member you just go here:

It's not a secret...
Funny, the previous version of SetCPU specifically told Galaxy S users to use conservative scaling and that ondemand would cause crashes.
Now they're saying the reverse.
Edit: Well, I switched it to ondemand as the app dev suggested and the phone turned itself off a few minutes later...
Are we suppose to flash it thru cwr?
Edit: nm I got it.

Argh, ever since I installed this (even after uninstalling it) my phone keeps freezing randomly while asleep!

Do you have a profile for screen turn off? If you do disable it because the phone itself lowers the cpu while at sleep.

I have no profiles set. I tried doing the sleep profile but it caused some annoying lag when the phone was waking from sleep.
On demand profile settings do not work, my phone has crashed 2 times. SetCpu just doesn't work I guess.
Using Nero V 3 and set CPU isn't doing anything...max setting is set to 1000.
How did you guys get it to work and what are your settings?

Those of us using SetCPU are using overclocking kernels. Some folks might be using DOW, but I am using JAC XMOD because I'm still on Eclair as all the 2.2 ROMs annoy me currently.
(At least until I get my Bionix Blackout for Nero v3 theme finished!)
I have see a couple of people talk about their screen off / on call script, wherin clocks are limited to a different (lower) max freq when in a screen off / voice call state.
I did some searching and really couldnt come up with anything, if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
Thanks!

no one ?
Use System Tuner from market
SetCPU is an application that uses "Profiles" (Not the CM ones) so that each profile can be set to a different CPU governor and frequency. This way you can set a screen off or a high temperature profile to use a lower frequency. Fortunately, SmartassV2 has a very good frequency management so you really don't need SetCPU if you are using it.
i swear i have seen something like an init.d script that does what im asking... id much rather not have another app running in the background.

1% battery drain in 4 hours... minimal screen off frequency... higher frequency only if requested by kernel. I bet your script does only the minimal screen off frequency.
You can do that in tasker app. Its paid app but you can grab a beta trial from their site.
ok... lets try and rephrase this question.
i DO NOT WANT AN APP THAT HAS TO ALWAYS RUN.
i want a scrip that will detect when the phone is in voice call state and limit the phone to a frequency of my choice.
Hi!
Is there an app that can change the CPU governor according to useage? I mean, I'd like to have the governor on "ondemand" setting, while I'm not using the phone (the screen is black), but it would be cool if an app would set the governor to "performance" as soon as the screen lights up. It could be done with Tasker perhaps, but Tasker doesn't want run on my phone, doesn't even want to install...
Is there an app for this? Thanks for the answer!

Such a dumb, I am... Of course SetCPU! I've been using NoFrills for some time, I'm changing that. Thanks!!!
Use Set CPU, go the 2nd page in that and there you can select profiles.
For example suppose your kernel allows you upto 667 MHZ, then you can select in the profile something like :
When in call, max 300 Mhz.....or Screen Off, Max 200 MHz.
in the 3rd page of Set CPU, it also allows you to undervolt, you may try with -50 in the values.

My default profile is 390-1170 MHz with performance scaling, and I've set up a profile for screen off with 390-780 MHz with ondemand scaling. I suppose I can set it to lower frequencies as you suggested.
How does undervolting affect CPU usage? I don't know much about these things
Hi, as title says, i would like to replace screen off mode on my N9005 with app NoLED. App has option to always show clock when screen is off and its jumping on the screen, so (i guess) it won't burn my pixels. Turned off LockScreen (keygard), so after pressing power it turns off screen and few seconds after that it shows jumping clock (if enyone knows how to remove that few second delay it would be great, tried to launch every single NoLED app activity with Tasker and Secure Settings plugin and no luck). App also shows app icons when there is notifications. Long tap on icons opens their app, also, triple-tapping screen "unlocks device" (closes app). App can be also closed with single physical button click, so i plan to change that with Xposed Additions to double or triple tap (for security reasons).
Battery saving part:
Using FauxClock app set performance profile for NoLED with:
-min and max cpu freq: 300MHz
-cpu governor: powersave
-gpu max freq: 200MHz
-gpu governor: msm-adreno-tz (haven't changed, don't know which is the best, other options are: performace, simple_ondemand)
-Eco mod enabled
Is there more things to tweak for battery save?
I keep wifi and gps always on, and turn on bluetooth, data and nfc just when i need them. Plan to change wifi scan interval with tasker, also, use Intelli3G to turn 3G on just when data is enabled. Used System Monitor and noticed that, when NoLED screen is active, processor, most of the time, runs on 1 core (300MHz as set) and on 60% and up, is that ok?. Note 3 has AMOLED screen, so, i hope it won't drain my battery. Screen Brightness is set in app on 20%.
Most important question is: will these settings damage my phone in any way if i use them for a longer time?
Also would like to hear your suggestion for battery saving.
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone
I'm using SetCpu profiles to control cpu clock speed when certain conditions are met, but when it comes to app based profiles it does not work, I mean for example, if I set a profile to turn on when battery is at 30% or less, I get a notification about this profile running, but if I set a profile which must fire when GTA is running, nothing happens, main (unprofiled) MAX and MIN cpu speeds don't change, as if SetCpu couldn't or didn't listen when the profile app(s) is/are launched.
Do app based profiles work? If that's so, Do I need any workaround to make them fire? Is there other app like SetCpu having app based profile options?
I'm using stock Kernel and Rom. My phone is a Galaxy S4 Mini Duos running on Android 4.2.2 (JB), rooted.
Thanks for reading.
