SetCPU question - Motorola Droid RAZR

Anyone in here use SetCPU still for underclocking? I just set mine up again after taking the OTA for JB and I was wondering which CPU governor was the best? Is it 'hotplug'? The default is 'interactive' but I remember there was a better governor.

I use interactive on all my Android devices. It has the best balance between battery life and performance.

[Q] Das Bamf 1.5 SetCPU Settings

Are you guys using setCPU with the new radio and Das Bamf 1.5 and 4.4.2 kernel. If so, what are your settings? Currently I'm not overclocking and have a profile set to 245 max when the screen is off, both with ondemand scaling. I'm down to 75% after a little over 3 hours since unplugging and am wondering if anyone's getting better results with different settings.

I'm using smartass at 1036 Mhz. No screen off profiles or anything. Let smartass do it's thing.
I didn't mean to click thanks...was trying to click "quote". haha. But thanks anyway.
Sorry for my noobness but what exactly is the difference between smartass and ondemand? I think I recall Adryn recommending ondemand in the bamf thread but I could be wrong.

I think he does recommend ondemand too. I tried it out for a day and found that smartass was better for my phone. Smartass will generally pick the lower clock speed more often than ondemand. I guess the best way to know is try out a couple different ones and find out what's best. That's why he makes different versions of his kernels too.
I'm running 4.4.2 at 1.2ghz and smartass gov. I haven't tried setting up profiles and using on demand with 4.4.2 and instead hoped smartass would do its thing better than I could. Seems to be working good so far.
FWIW, my phone seemed more laggy at 1.5ghz on this kernel. It is quite snappy at 1.2.
Smartass automatically uses the lowest voltage when the screen is off and your profile may conflict with that. I'm using Smartass and the only profile I use is for battery less than 20% = underclock.

I/O Scheduler Q

Ive searched and found zero answers ;-)
What I/O scheduler would provide the best results as far as speed, battery life, etc. on the fascinate?
I don't know which is the fastest, but SIO or NOOP are pretty fast.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Ill give noop a shot.
I've read that combinations of schedulers and CPU governors matter, for example running CFQ and conservative together gets a very good performance ratio as opposed to noop and conservative. I use CFQ but I really have never noticed any major difference between them.
Im using smartass. What would be best combo of speed and battery life.
If you're on TW, stay with cfq which gives you a more stable camera. What are you running?

Running conservative on aosp kind of defeats your purpose, on demand and smart ass are always the way to go, cfq will always give you the best balance as far as output (and more stability.). Differences in battery life are marginal by changing your I o scheduler

so smartass an cfq it is, thsnks.
violets are red
questions in general make choppa blue.
I learned a lesson today,
and I hope you did too.
If you're on VGB with the built-in kernel, CFQ's a great choice paired with ondemand or conservative. If you're using Glitch, try Deadline and ondemand with screenstate scaling set to conservative.

Thanks for the info!
I'm using the biffmod GB (CM7 based rom) with a built in glitch kernel and after reading about I/O schedulers I've gone with BFQ and smart ass... it's ran smooth so far.

Overclocking Question

If I overclock using webOS, will it also be useful with the alpha2?
The only useful purpose it does is tell you how fast you can go.
Your webOS and CM7 are completely different kernels on different partitions. You'd have to OC each one separately.

Thank you for the quick reply and of course there is no way to overclock the HP on CM7 as of yet, correct?

you can OC your CM7, but only in CM7 (webOS and CM7 have nothing to do with each other). use setcpu or an app like that to OC
Setcpu is a paid app, but works great.

i concur, with it, my battery life has almost doubled!
MAX: 1512
MIN: 384
ondemandtcl
set on boot
To OC in CM7, we don't need to flash a different kernel?
nope, stock is the only one available anyway (for now)
I've just downloaded CPU Master Free which seems to do the job.
Having said that, I haven't noticed much difference at 1.5 - but then, I haven't stressed it yet.

I installed CPU Master Free on my wife's TP and every time I rebooted it went back to stock speed.
I use setcpu with governor set to performance and max set to 1.78 ghz min set to 384 ghz and got a quadrant score this morning of 3561. I backed down after that to 1.5 max/ 384 min with conservative governor. Here is the quad score screenshot:

Wonder how fast we should go?
Performance in CM settings will do the OC for you.
Ooops, no it won't.
Apologies!
Is 384mhz the lowest we can go in Android, or is it because any lower performance would be affected? I know in Govnah the lowest is like 192mhz, and haven't noticed a difference between that and the next number up 384mhz.
Fyi.....
Setcpu is free for xda members. U just have to search for it. The dev has a thread on xda with the apk. If u can't find it pm me

[Q] SetCPU vs CPU Master?

Hey all,
I've been using CPU Master on my Rezound since I rooted it. But I used to use SetCPU on my Dinc. My question is, which do you prefer? I have the free version of CPU Master and paid for SetCPU.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I paid for setcpu too but I was having issues so i tried cpu master before buying it. least try cpu master and if it setcpu is better then get your refund

I've been using the free version of CPU Master since I've been rooted on my Rezound. I want to set profiles for my CPU but I don't want to pay for CPU Master if SetCPU will work

well if setcpu works for you then stick with it. cpu master gives extra features

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Under/overvolting and io scheduler selection is really the only things it offers in the paid version. I've used setcpu on my og droid and on my incredible, but I bought CPU master when I got my rezound and I actually prefer it over setcpu. One thing I like is that the profiles are already set up for you, all you have to do is enable or disable them.
I've had really good luck with CPU tuner
Free and has a lot of features.
Under 8 posts for me so I can't post the stupid link... Just search for it in the market and check out the reviews.
If I wanted to undervolt, how far under should I go? My kernels have always handled voltage for me lol

this varies from person to person. needs to be scaled right while you're finding the sweet spot. I do -25 for each frequency. run it for awhile to see if you get a random reboot or lag and just reverse what you did. I did -25 for each until I have time to drop them further
sent from my rezound using tapatalk
Thanks very helpful. Seeing how well the undervolting goes before I make my final decision
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Depends upon the kernel. I found SetCPU worked better with stock and Ziggy's kernel. With dsb's smartass v.2 kernel, I find CPU Master works better.
Yeah I know that each phone individually responds differently to cpu/voltage changes. The dinc i had before this would take any frequency and kernel would throw at it. However underclocking/volting on my Rezound almost always ends in fc's
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I use SetCPU mostly if I can... Provides more information than CPU master pro, I have both... The only thing that CPU master pro does that SetCPU doesn't is change voltages, in a crappy way though. I don't go through every clock to change them, that takes way too long. Instead I use incredicontrol to change them all simultaneously... I've never had problems with one over the other. They have both worked for me on all the kernels for this phone.

I'm using Ineffabilis v1.0 with Ziggy's kernel. SetCPU has worked for me with no issues. I haven't tried CPU Master but I guess I haven't had the need to cuz SetCPU is working for me. I just don't completely get the whole undervolting. I understand the concept but don't know how to apply it with SetCPU, if that's even possible.

I haven't tried to play around with voltages on the rezound, but on my tbolt I could drop voltages 100 each and be fine, but couldn't run at 1.8 no matter what I tried.

You can't change voltage with SetCPU. CPU Master can. Correct me if I'm wrong but kernels can also effect voltage. Amirite?

It's normal. If you're on the faux's intellidemand governor, it changes the frequency based on the load you have on the phone. It does this to save the battery. I highly recommend you to leave it as is, because if you lock it at a high frequency when the phone is not being used, it can drain the battery like crazy.

Oh...but it often work on 1.51Ghz..it is too hot when i watch the video,so i wanna to decrease the frequency..
could u recommend a kernel please?thanks for ur answer!
