Hello - this is a pretty n00bish question but I have had a hard time finding the exact answer I was looking for on this threads and on Google. The Thunderbolt is my first Android phone, and I got it last week and already rooted it with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3. I also have WidgetLocker, Launcher Pro, and other programs to really customize the phone. I was playing around with the DAS Bamf Toolkit and I was noticing the CPU and governor settings. I was wondering what CPU settings and governor settings people use? Right now I have the default, which is 1.037 Ghz at max frequency, 245 Mhz at min frequency, and using the ondemand governor. I have seen a lot of people use the smartass governor, and I was wondering what the difference does - especially between interactive and conservative (powersave and performance I can guess at what they specialize in). What would be the best settings for optimizing battery life while still having good performance? I know a lot of people say to do your own testing and find out what works best for your phone and your needs, but I am just curious at what other people work at and how they like their settings.
Another question I have it about different kernels. Right now I am using the kernel that came with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3 (2.6.32.21.bamf_4.4.7-g21c0620-dirty (by a adrynalyne #1)), but I know some people have been using Imoseyon's kernels. Do people find their phone more or less stable when using Imoseyon's kernel on Das BAMF instead of using adrynalyne's kernel? (I figured since he was one of the people who developed Das BAMF, his kernel would work best, but it seems to me a lot of people have been mixing/matching).
One final random question that I thought of while writing this thread, I also only ever flashed Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3; I never flashed any new radio or anything like that because at first I assumed it came with the ROM, but reading some threads on the forum, it seems that comes separate, and I am not sure if the stock/leaked radio is better/worse for battery or if it works with the ROM.
Again, sorry if these sound like very amateur questions but I just want some clarifying on these things and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
Other information about my phone:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: 1.16.00.0402w_1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.21.bamf_4.4.7-g21c0620-dirty (by a adrynalyne #1)

Expiramenting with what combination works for you is the best idea, HOWEVER, always backup what works, and make sure you have the right radio for the ROM you're flashing. Three quarters of what makes this fun is funding out what will and will not make your phone better. The other half is learning how to fix what you just broke.
Also, In my expierience, overclocking to anything over 1.6ghz causes problems.

heres a list of readios ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045081 im on das bamf 1.6.3 with the first one on this list and it works great. also im on that same kernel overclocked to 1280 max and 368 min and i have great speed and battery life (also using setcpu and underclocking to 368 max when screen off so thats probably why ). using the ondemand governer. never tried smart ass but heard good things. the conservative is good for saving battery i use it on my screen off profile.
Awesome, I am going to try to flash that radio... Is it bad that I am not flashing it around the time I flashed the ROM, or would that still be fine? And again, I am sorry if this next question sounds amateur, but to flash it, I would just copy the PG05IMG.zip to my SD Card, reboot my phone in Bootloader (or Recovery?) and install the radio from there (assuming I first wipe the cache/dalvik, or do I need not to do that for radio?).
My battery life is fine, I have the extended battery and I get about 31 hours (but I am on Wi-Fi a lot instead of 3G, which I heard is better for battery, and I am not that heavy of downloading/games), but I heard people getting 2+ days, so maybe flashing this newer radio may show improvements, who knows, ha.
I will have to download SetCPU, because at first I thought you can only change the CPU settings on the Das BAMF Toolkit, but it looks like SetCPU has a lot more options. Dak_181, when you say you have great battery life/speed, how much out of your battery do you get?
BACKUP when making these changes. 10 minutes can save you an hour.
Right, I use Nandroid and Titanium Backup - if I were to flash a new radio as well as Imoseyon's 2.5.1 kernel, should there be an order I do it in (radio first, then kernel, or kernel first, then radio?), or does it not matter?
smartass is interactive gov with some tweaks (interactive makes the CPU clock up faster when you interact with the screen) and basically does a conservative screen off automatically. i think the max clock speed on the TB Is like 400 while the screen is off. i might be wrong on that number but you get the idea.

InteractiveX sets the cpu @ about 250 ish when the screen is off. That is the lowest idle state for the most part, I did however see some testimg trying to get 184mhz to work.

it doesnt matter when you flash the radio, and you dont need to wipe data or cache. to install put it on the root of your sd card and reboot into.. recovery? whichever one you get to by powering off then holding down volume and power untill it starts up. it will find the update and install it automatically then reboot. make sure to delete it from sd card right away or youll get problems next time your flash anything. and i got about 15 hours with the stock battery and pretty consistence use in a low coverage area (bouncing between 1x and nothing all day).
15 hours with NO 4G I presume? I got about 8 hours of medium use in a good 4G coverage area. I am running BAMF 1.63 with BAMF Toolkit CPU on SmartAss gov. No overlooking.
Does it make a big difference to install the kernel first or the radio first? Also, does anyone think they find better results using Imoseyon's 2.5.1 kernel on Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3, or do they find using the stock kernel for that is best since it was made for that ROM?
And thanks for all the help about installing!
I am getting ridiculously good battery life and performance with Das Bamf 1.6.3 and Imoseyon's leankernel 2.5 running on extreme with custom undervoltage and interactiveX governor.
One of the key contributors to my battery life is the custom undervoltage. The leankernel extreme is already undervolted, but to be compatible with more TBs it isn't undervolted as much as it can be. After the tweaks i made, which included setting the min clock speed to 368 since I have it using the same low voltage as 245 (750 mv).
I have heard that smartass also gives great battery life with imoseyon's kernel, but since interactiveX has been so good I have had no desire to switch.
I hope that helps!

thats right. it was part wifi and part 1x/nothing. i have crappy service in my area. also recently learned that having task killers is useless on the thunderbolt and its actually draining my battery. gonna see if it changes without it today
If I were to install the radio using ClockwordMod Recovery (I guess the option to install .zip from SD Card), and it happens there is something wrong and I want to go back to the stock radio I had, would that be where Titanium Backup/Nandroid comes in play, or do they not backup radio stuff, and I would have to find another .zip of the stock radio?
(Again, sorry if this sounds n00bish, I am just very new to this and I want to be sure I know what I am doing, I appreciate all the help I am getting here, it is awesome )

I know about managing the CPU clock, but what is undervolting do? I don't have that option in my ROM, so do I have to download it somewhere?
What exactly the SmartAss governor do?
Yeah, I second lanwarrior, I am confused at how exactly to undervolt my phone? Is that just in the CPU settings when you go and change them in SetCPU or Das BAMF Toolkit?
Radios, have to be renamed to that special name(PG..... Whatever it is lol) and on the root of the SD card. Then you go to hboot (power + volume down when booting) and it will automatically scan for the file and ask to install if it does.
Trying to install the radio from recovery won't work to my knowledge because it can't update the radio that way I believe, only through hboot.
And to revert back to an older radio, there is plenty of radios out there to try and see which one works. If you are planning to upgrade to the new gingerbread radio that was leaked, I'd highly suggest you wait as because of the recent(today) rumors of it super bricking phones. If I left anything out about the radio, feel free to ask.
About the kernels, I'm not too sure about. I do know about the governors mostly, as for the underclocking , it just means that people are making their lowest CPU speed (the Min CPU setting mostly) go lower than normal, pretty much like the concept of overclocking. Kernels tend to be the same but tweaked in many different ways, like how the voltage is and how specific you can be with setting a specific CPU speed.
Some kernels also have more/better tweaks making them faster and more battery efficient.
Best thing to do, is mix and match these things to find the one that you find that works best.
And one last note: ALWAYS MAKE BACK UPS.
I have learned that multiple times by now, especially when screwing around with that stuff

Awesome, thanks so much for your help. I just recently found this thread as well that gives good explanations on how to flash using ABD (I am not using their radio, but their instructions are nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128). I still might just copy it on my SD card and then try through Bootloader, the way you described (sounds a little easier to do). And no no, I was not planning on doing the GB radio - I am staying away from GB ROMs and that of sort until the actual release of it and people have been using the ROMs for a bit and know it is stable/will not brick the phone - I am fine with Froyo for now. I plan on just installing the first radio link here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128, which is the 1.13.605.7 CDMA/LTE radio combo - I have been told that works fine, but knowing my luck, something might go wrong, ha).
Based on some threads I have been reading, Imoseyon 2.5.1 kernel seems to work very well and seems to have no problem with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3. I think I might try installing the radio tomorrow, then the kernel, then installing SetCPU and playing around with the SmartAss governor a bit since that also seems to be popular (even though I am not 100% on what it does yet, ha, but I guess I will find out).
I currently get around 31 hours of battery life (with extended battery) on mainly just Wi-Fi and doing minimal downloading and doing some texting/calls, which seems good, but I feel there are a lot of people getting even more so I might try to get more out of my battery.
Well like I said, find what works best and always backup! Haha. I went through a couple different radios to find the best one for me. The other one I tried, would make me reboot a couple times a day randomly. And now the one I'm on, not a single reboot since it has been installed.
But others say it the other way with this one rebooting and the other working, so just gotta find the best.
And don't forget to delete the radio off the SD card root ASAP just in case you get stuck rebooting and need to go to recovery. (Only way to get in without fully booting is through hboot, which will try to install the radio every time only unless it is deleted. ) believe me I have been stuck in a bootloop with a radio on the SD card lol. Only way around it was use my sisters phone to delete the radio from the SD card

Oh jeez, thanks for the advice. If you do not mind me asking, which radio are you using/which one gave you the random reboots a day one? Which ROM are you on (if you are rooted)?
Whether rom&kernel I used I always have lag on phone while the graphic chip is being used, for example in YouTube application when the video started it becomes too laggy and when I paused or stopped it becomes normal, and when i opened a game when i turn off the screen the crt animation becomes too laggy, too, and in bencmarkes my 3d points lower than other Evos, what do you think the problem is and how to solve it?

No, I've tried every kind of governor even the performance governor its the same. And its not the interactive governor which stays minimum, its powersave governor.

Seems as if you've tried many different troubleshooting options and still are experiecing this issue. I haven't seen many reports of it and it does seem very odd.
If this option is possible, I would load 100% stock software back on the device and see how it operates. If it is still really slow, there might simply be something internally wrong with the hardware and I would look into returning/exchanging.
I'm on 100% stock and have been since June '11. I've never seen any lag during the screen off CRT animation. Lag at that point seems awfully odd unless you're in the middle of some type of graphics/cpu intensive program .. even then .. I would have a hard time seeing consistent lag at that point to be legitmate behavior.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for your answer, I've tried stock Europe RUU and its the same and i don't have guarantee to exchange what to do now?
And I remember, I wasn't having these issues before, after trying too much ROM and kernel it happened, I always wipe everything before installing a rom, but do we have a full cleaner, kernel cleaner eg.?

Using the real RUU will restore all stock partitions with the stock images.
I suppose, if you wanted to go the extra mile, boot into the custom recovery and format each partition, then run the RUU, but don't think I've ever heard of people doing that before an RUU so not positive if there would be any adverse side effects.
If you're on the stock RUU and experiecing issues, it would seem hardware related in my opinion as I'm on stock and have rarely seen those issues.
The only other thought which comes to mind is sometimes when people overclock they perhaps allow the device to become "too hot" and I suppose this could cause some minor but permanent damage.
Another thought, I know in my EVO last year, had a bright spot appear on the screen from "over heating" although I never overclocked, it was essentially a design flaw many experienced.
The only other suggestions I can think of would be to back to stock, knowing you've cleared all custom software off and perhaps load a basic kernel which supports voltage/speed adjustments and see if tweaking any of those help with the graphics lag.
Good luck!

Thank you again I've started to think of a hardware problem cause I used overclock kernels such as unity v2 and leedroid kernel and i oc'd to max and used and I think these kernels oc'd gpu, too, but I never oc'd gpu and the problem is always the same and I'll try to format every partition as you said cause whether I wiped It's not getting completely formatted and from last format some of my bookmarks was left?

Great point, I actually had forgot about the sdcard. Some bookmarks are stored on the sdcard!
I wouldn't think any important settings are stored on the sdcard, but if you wanted to be even more thorough, you could backup all your sdcard contents to your desktop and format your sdcard.
That should ensure no settings remain after running the RUU.
So many details to remember! Hope that helps!

Ooohh yeah I took a point! I've tried other browsers, and now I'm using dolphin, and while I'm using maxthon browser I played 1080p video and I've turned off and on screen without any lag! But if I use YouTube application, or play video from the phone with its own player or es video player it lags, and in games lag has gone too, its getting interesting every time
Aha I've got one more point too! I used MX player and when in hardware mod the lag happens, but if i choose software mod, the lag goes away!
I installed cyanogenmod 7 on my Legend a few weeks back. It was running ok, today I thought about overclocking it. I had overcloced it before to 745 (or something) and it had worked fine so I thought about overclocking it to 850 (or something). As soon as I did that, it hanged for a while and then restarted.
Now everytime I start it, it restarts before I can do anything. All i managed was to enter the performance settings menu, but I cannot reach far enough to reset the CPU settings (it restarts)
Is there any other way I can reset the values, some file or something. I really don't want to reinstall everything.
What program are you using to over clock. Funnily this happened to me when I attempted to Oc (using setcpu) my legend to 864. However I installed the setcpu widget and I was able to change the speed asap. Maybe if you pressed fast enough then you might be able to restart before it restarts. But if all Is lost then factory reset is the way to go.

I was using the cyanogenmod 7 performance settings (settings>cyanogenmod>performance>cpu settings).
But I managed to reset it. I took out the memory card in hope that it will give me more time to reach the settings, and when I opened the CPU settings it was set to 600 MHz. looks like the settings were stored in memory card.
Hm
For future reference, don't check "restore on boot" until you know it's stable
Hi
In my case, overclocking is possible up to 844mhz, but I have reboot after few minutes. Max stable value is 806mhz (for me).
Maximal frequency depends of phone, every Legend are different. For one max is 768, for other maybe it 864.
Greetings
Sorry for my language
gosh... reading this post brings memory the last time i was messing with the performance thingy.... have to wipe my legend to get rid of the OC setting was my fastest option... but lost my unbackup data.
well you can try flashing your rom without wipe and hope things got back to normal.
on oc testing
my advice is this.... do your nandroid backup before doing OC testing...
if you have setcpu for OC testing... dont use the main bar to test oc...
but you can have setCPU to OC if certain condition like charging the phone is meet.
then if your system gone nuts just unplug the usb (not charging) and it will go back to main setting.
if you are using cyanogenmod performance setting.... do as TGF say.. do not set on reboot before you are sure that the system is stable...
plus you better nandroid backup first before messing with your phone...
My phone runs stable at 787............and I'm quite satisfied about the performance. But only because I have the power to, I'm thinkin about trying higher frequensies. Should I? Or it is an unnecessary risk?
Also, is there any preffered way to "try out" the performance once you set a new Max MHz?
I just installed CM9 beta1 and I'm having troubles with the overclocking. I tried the 768MHz but it freezes after a few seconds. Is there a way to overclock to a specific speed? I saw a while ago some guy saying that at aroung 728MHz it does a great job. I have kernel 2.6.35.13-htc-msm7x27-ics.
I got a bug, don't know if it's related to the ROM or the overclocking but when I set the minimum speed to 19MHZ, like on stock Legend, when I tried to wake my phone, it seemed to be stocked at 19MHz, so I couldn't do anything, had to take battery out. Happened to anyone else? It happened to me once since yesterday.
overclocking
I'm sure most of you probably know this but just in case..... If you get a program that allows you to see your logcat (google them) and clean the log of errors by removing problem apps or limiting their permissions. The result is you end up with a much more stable OS and you can then overclock a lot more heavy handed. With the changes, I very rarely have any problems and run at 864mhz. Hope it helps

What governor are you using? If your using power save or conservative that will defenitly cause it.

I could never overclock my Legend. Always near-instant reboots . Consider yourself lucky if you can!
I'm not sure whether to have made a topic or post on Cleanrom ICS's thread but when I installed System Tuner (free), CPU0 bounces between 384mhz and 1.51mhz non-stop at a VERY fast pace, after a fresh reboot. As a comparison, my gf's Galaxy S2 Skyrocket w/ stock GB is stable at 384mhz.
On a site note: her CPU1 switched to 384mhz from offline more frequently than mine did. Mine wouldn't budget unless i rotated the phone. I removed mpdrecision from /system/bin and now CPU1 is doing the same thing as CPU0. (384 => 1.51 repetitively)
My phone did the repetitive jump between the lowest and highest CPU settings before, but I was stock rooted at that time. I have no idea what could possibly be causing this issue.

I take it the problem has been fixed miraculously on your end?
I take it nobody has a solution to this issue?
Honestly I think it's just an issue with the kernel (If it even is an issue). There are multiple threads with people having quirks with their cpu frequencies not setting/sitting properly. This would have to be something that HTC fixes, or a dev if they can figure out the underlying issue. I/many users don't have issues with battery life if that is your main concern? Unfortunately it's something you'll have to deal with till a fix comes around.
Yeah it certainly seems to be an issue with the kernel. I've been playing around with it and I've yet to find a way to keep the CPU(s) from spiking. I am curious how widespread of an issue this is. It seems to be a non-issue that gets ignored on the dev forums. Is this just because it's not very widespread?
If it's a common issue it may not be a battery drain but if it's not it would certainly explain why I can barely get 7hrs on low/average usage out of my phone on WiFi.
I'd love it if anyone could share any information they have regarding this issue!
Thanks

It's probably the fact that the kernel is from the leaked ics builds. Once official ics hits the kernel pulled from that hopefully would be better.
If it's really causing problems stick to gb. Id personally recommend dsb's kernel.
I reverted my phone back to stock (via ruu) and oddly enough the stock kernel suffered this same issue but when I flashed incredikernel the issue stopped.
EDIT:
You guys think this might be a funky HW issue?
I have a weird situation with my Atrix. I unlocked and rooted the Atrix and installed CM10 with "those" libs and the CPU never ran higher than 456 mHz. I tried setCPU to make the miniumum 700-1000 to try and see if it would run at a higher frequency and it would just sit at 456. I then flashed the second CM10 with "those" libs after reset and wipe and still the CPU is just sitting at 456. I think this might be causing me to have mediocre battery performance. I wiped everything multiple times and flashed AtrICS rom and then fixed permissions but still the CPU was sitting at 456. I found this thread about pdsfix http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1131649 and tried both methods and wiped the cache through fastboot but no change in the cpu max. I've wiped everything multiple times and no change has occurred. I also tried ramfix even though my ram was being reported correctly. I'm using the newest version of TWRP and everything on the phone seems to run well. I am just wondering if anybody thinks it is just a reporting issue for the CPU and that 456 really means 1000 mHZ or if there is something in the kernel that is screwy.
I have attached a screenshot of CPU speeds after I ran a benchmark test. Let me know if you have any ideas on this phenomena. Thanks

It looks like a kernel issue but it is odd only two or three people have commented on it.
I've been experiencing this as well, although it does get through all the frequencies. After awhile, around 20+ mins, it goes back to the same frequency. Kinda annoying when you need that extra boost.
Nevertheless, I really am waiting patiently fr the things to get sorted out. Ever since that "takedown", its kinda messy around
I wonder I'd the CPU has a safe mode that kicks in due to temperature. I guess it could be some sort of setting that turns on a governor (deep sleep) but it is activating at the wrong time.
Sorry to bump such an old thread but I believe the previous poster was correct. I just went back to ICSRom to investigate, and sure enough my CPU temp is reading 450°C! Now, since my Atrix hasn't turned into a puddle of molten plastic, I guess now I've got to try and work out how to correct/disable this reading without kernel source. Sigh.
Edit: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0... Can't change any parameters though
Edit 2: I may be wrong, it hasn't tripped any thermal alarms. I just think SetCPU is out by a factor of 10. Temp1 is currently reading 43000 (43°C?) And the critical threshold is 127000 (127°C?) which appears to be the maximum. It is possible to set it lower than the default, but not higher.
