Use A Tweaked thermald.conf And Turn Off Eco Mode.
But Keep In Mind,Running CPU Constantly At Max Frequency Can Damage It And Battery.

How do I do that? I don't want my CPU running at max. I have a min. Set and a max set. But they never stick. No matter what I do. I think you misunderstood my question. I want ondemand gov which sticks and want to set my max at 1.2. BUT it never sticks!

Try updating busybox. This happened to me on another phone and doing busybox smart install fixed it.

You need a ROM with its own hot plugging. Mp decision which is proprietary to our CPU will override any setting you set in set CPU or any of the other CPU management apps. If you have a ROM that supports a different hot plugging scheme you can disable mp decision.

I m trying to use SetCpu For root users so that i cud underclock it when the screen is locked..However when i provide it root access it underclocks the phone to 584Mhz and there is no way to manually enter the 600MHz frequency (through keyboard) there is just a slider that goes to a max of 584 MHz..When it asks me to select the device i select the first option (G1, MSM7k series) ..HElp i really want to make my battery last longer...
Underclocking it won't give you battery boost as long as you have the same voltage.

thats wat i was thinkin but all over the internet there's this misconception that underclock saves battery ...underclocking can make cpu run cooler though generating less heat i believe...This phone (p500) heats up real quick..
You haven't held an Acer Liquid in your hand while doing something. You really need some gloves..
This used to happen to me too when I was on the stock ROM and stock kernel. I could go up to only 584MHz, not 600. I uninstalled SetCPU, then rebooted. Fixed the problem.

Where do u live??? ICEland or something??? GEt real i live in semi-tropical region..
I m running Megatron and latest signed OCed kernel available in this forum..Still i m stuck with 584Mhz..the slider just doesn't go up!!! HElp..I mean can't i just switch between 600 mHZ when i m using the phone and 245Mhz when the screen's locked ??? This is wat i want to accomplish
Try reflashing the kernel, then reinstall SetCPU (make sure you clear the data in the manage applications thing)
EDIT: You don't have to. Open SetCPU --> [menu key] --> device selection --> autodetect speeds.
SETcPU settings [Optimus One]
Setcpu definitely helps increase your battery life...
My optimus one battery life has increased x2 times
Here are my settings:
Maximum : 600mhz
Minimum : 128mhz
Governor: Ondemand
Profies in Setcpu :
On screen off : Max :128 and Minimum 128; Scaling : Powersave.
On battery 20% : Minimum :128 Max :480
While charging A/C (via adapter):Max :128 and Minimum 128; Scaling : Powersave.
That's it!!
Just give a try really works
im running the extreme1.92x kernel oc'd at 1.4 but not sure about the best setup to save battery. i made one profile for charging i put in on max. not sure what to do with the advanced tab settings.
Profiles are really dependent on the user and their needs. The one piece of advice I can give you is to make sure you have a profile set up in case your phone starts to over heat. An OC'ed phone maxed during a charge may get quite toasty.
any suggestions?
Imo dont o/c. Let the kernel operate the way it is setup. O/c cause reboots, phone heating up, and freezes.

I'm running Adrynalyne's 4.4.7 kernel and use the following and get really good battery life with no overheating and no lag. I don't do a screen of profile because the governor seems to handle that pretty well.
Normal 1024 max 245 min-Smartass governor
Profiles:
Battery < 25% 768 max 245 min-On demand Governor
Charging 1280 Max 245 min-Smartass governor

Does that actually work?
I thought you had to choose a default governor and setup profiles accordingly.
I didn't know you could setup profiles with a governor that wasn't active or chosen on boot.
the thunderbolt is so fast already theres really no need to over clock. i left it at stock for normal, toned down to 768 when <30% battery and down to 368 when screen off. its a little slow for about half a second when waking up but the battery life is amazing. i can make it through a whole day without charging with moderate use. also running ziggys bfs kernel on virusrom and that added a ton of speed. way better than overclocking that drains your battery
im not asking about overclocking or profiles, just want to know about advanced settings. everything is set to default -1.

What Rom are you using?
Go to settings, menu, wireless networks, mobile networks and uncheck the third box. No need to have mobile data always on for most peeps . You'll still have 4G n everything, but gain a good 1-2 maybe more hrs (depending on use, kernels, governor settings, and I/O scheduling. I personally am running BAMF 1.6.2 with adryns 4.4.7 kernel, no set CPU, using tool box for that at 245mhz min - 1.024GHz max with ondemand governor and most importantly SIO Scheduler. Try these n you will have amazing performance and better battery life. Let me know you opinions

Haha, I couldn't tell if you were being serious or not but each kernel has speeds at different increments. 1036 will probably be as close as you can get to 1024.

Hey guys I know this was already asked but still i didn't found an answer . Is there anyway to incrase your CPU limit . Mine it's at 729 . If i set it to 747+ it will block and reboot . So is there a way to incrase it ?
I'm using Kernel roq XIII+ .
The cpu in this phone is what I believe to be an Arm v6 Adreno GPU. The max overclock we can get on the phone (whilst stable 100% of the time) is around 748mHz. I've seen people with 806mHz at certain times using Rom and kernal mixups, like once when I used PerfectPeso and Francos Kernal. Weird occasions...
I'd say max for speed and so on, go 100mHz or around that for lowest, and 728mHz for highest clocks.

Dont underclock below 448MHz. All frequencies below that have the same voltage so its pointless as power consumption will be same. If you clock too low, it'll take more time to come out of sleep. And don't overclock above 748Mhz. If you consistently clock above 748, there is a high chance for kernel panics. I know a guy who did so and now even 748 isn't very stable for him.
That is not totally correct. 122 MHz uses a lower voltage than 245-480.

You mean in the same manner LG chose to use crappy default kernels with defective touchscreen driver, or a crappy GB firmware, yes? Sorry but what LG does or not does is simply irrelevant.
And I did not tell anyone to use 122 MHz, but it is possible and at least with screen off can't hurt. If you don't like it don't use it! But don't act like you knew better.

I use 480-748 with no problems on my current rom (Lupo's CM9 test), if your phone is unstable or simply reboots then you may wanna try another rom/kernel
With popdog's Oxygen rom (version 2.5 at least) I also had no problems with the same range.
See what CPU we have it's one 600 very stable. if you are clocking it more it will heat up that's why it reboots and some time it freezes. I would suggest you you to use it at 600 or you can go little upper side. But if you really want to over clock it high then it has some issues. There are extreme heat. battery drain. reboots. hang. it can break you sound and VGA chip...so do it wisely. in 600 LG P500 is very good.
Every combination will be different. Some CPU will handle higher clock speeds than others. The manufacturer only lets it pass inspection if it exceeds their minimum specs. That means there will be some that can handle more.
You will find out with use.
Your kernel and governor will also make a difference. So will the rom depending on the tweaks used.
Do you really need to clock it faster than that? The faster you go, the hotter you go, which shortens the life of the chip. Heat is the enemy.

Since detule has pushed in patches that require an app to overclock now instead of inserting the appropriate lines in the startup.txt file, I am looking to get a better understanding of what exactly the line in the startup.txt file did and how to achieve similar settings in an app like setCPU.
I have setCPU, and set it up to run the default program at 710MHz both the Max and the Min. I am not really interested in battery saving features of the program or anything else. I just want it to run at 710MHz all the time. I thought it pretty much did this when using the startup.txt command set to 710400.
My question is, am I correct that if I set it up setCPU that way is that mirroring what the command did or am I going to get worse battery life then I did before because the app does something different?
I know the phone still sleeps with the app set that way. What happens in sleep with both the startup.txt command or this app? Does Android knock the processor down when going into sleep by either method or both?
Shifting only the MAX to a desired frequency achieves the same as using, what used to be, the command line method and specifying oc_freq_khz.
Shifting the MIN to match MAX will result in poorer battery life, though your phone will run constantly at the desired frequency.
When going into suspend, the driver first down-shifts the clocking frequency and then powers down ARM11 completely regardless of the OC settings.

So before with the oc_freq_khz it would just go shift down to 528MHz or did it go lower? I have the minimum set down to 245MHz now, hopefully I won't see too much lag with that.

It would down-shift to 245, unless under load.

You probably won't. The chip just goes to 245 if it is just idling. Under load, it'll snap back up to your desired frequency. It is kinda like the i7 2600K when in Turbo Core mode. It'll drop to 1.6 gh/z when doing nothing, then snap up to whatever it is set for when under load.
My settings are 787max and 122 min (This is ACL's OMGB NAND, but it'll probably be similar) and I don't notice lag in comparison to just leaving it at 787.

If you are using kernel 3.3.6 just grab your favorite overclocking tool from the market. If not, go to the thread for the rom you are using and ask for help.

I saw it in anryl kernel,but what's mpdecision and thermald ?
Mpdecision handles the cpu: freq, using 1/2 cores , etc...
Thermal is a protection for your phone: if the temp of the cpu reaches a certain level ( stock 60° i think), it lowers the freq to cool it down and to prevent damage, u can configure both the way u want to ^^
I recommend downloading kernel tuner from Google play. Its free and it let's you adjust the settings for mpdecision and thermals.
every kernel have mpdecision???because I think every kernel can handle freq.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using Tapatalk 2
Mpdecision can be handled by kernel or rom, you can only configure it if its handled by kernel.
Not every kernel has this build in, you can check it with kernel tuner.
If its not build in the rom handles it
What you mean is governor and so on
May said it irritating at the beginning : Mpdecision decides when the second core shall be active and sets the idle and screen off freq while the governor decides when the freq should be increased / lowered ^^

will mpdecision use more battery or can save battery?or has nothing to do with battery?

what's the idle frequency in mpdecision?
Idle means the freq when there is no work to do
But im not sure in how far it differs from the lowest choosen freq...
And mpdecision can make your battery last longer or shorter
If you decide to use the second core most time it will need a lot of battery for example - but u have a fast and smooth phone^^

Yes. Undervolting (lowering the voltage) can help save your battery life. Due to the way batteries work less volts typically mean more battery life BUT make sure to find out more about your particular device and keep in mind that it may not be safe to lower it too much or that it may ultimately cause more drain as it could cause different parts of your device to work harder or longer to do their job. Underclocking (lowering your CPU max MHz) can help a bit too. Typically setting your governor to conservative and using mpdecision to keep your second core off more is a better way to go for saving battery. The biggest battery killers are 4G, WiFi, 3G, brightness, and performance governors roughly from greatest to least. Hope that helps?
PS If you are having battery issues in a new non-stock ROM it can help a lot to calibrate your battery. And to kill it once or twice a month after charging to full.
Try using the all minus button. Hit it twice and then check out the -XXX mA next to drain/charge. Its in the 4x4 widget in Kernel Tuner.
Thank you, you helped us a lot
