Underclocking Help me! - HTC Desire X

I am on fulmix kernel #12 everything was going good then i installed "No frills-cpu" i set min and governer smartassv2 and io cfq something.
MY BATTERY LIFE WAS RUINED! that was like 40 to 30% in 10 min. Then i changed many governors and io scheduler nothing helped.
SO CAN ANYONE TELL ME how to reset it to before? I mean before setting this scheduler like thing.. REPLY ASAP

Flash stock kernel.... it doesnt have smartassv2, so it will reset to ondemand by default, and i/o will go to noop or cfq as default.... hence No-frills will not be able to chnage anything on boot. Then when its properly booted, uninstall no frills and reflash the fullmix kernel.
And next time, dont panic when messing with kernel. In software terms, its the only thing which can destroy your phone with no way back. (over/under clock and over/undervolt etc)

[Q] Using Setcpu on razr xt910.

Hi all,
I couldn't find the relevant information anywhere else, so thought I should ask if someone has experienced this.
Well I'm using setcpu on my razr and it is quite a brilliant app to be honest, helps me save battery quite alot by setting up profiles.
But recently I've been having crashing problems with the phone whenever i set the scaling to hotplug.
Previously, i was just using the default scaling, I guess Interactive it was, and was working quite happily. And, then i read about advantages of using Hotplug scaling, that it enables/disables cores depending on the amount of load on the cpu, which is really good for saving battery.
And before how I was using the phone, was to set a profile for screen off to drop the cpu down to 300MHz, using the default scaling.
But as soon as I changed from default scaling to Hotplug, it starts crashing randomly, and I've to restart the phone using keys.
Scenarios tried:
- Main scaling: Hotplug -- Screen off scaling: Interactive, Ondemand, Performance, Hotplug -- Processor Max: 300MHz
Result: crashing as soon as u turn the screen on, or sometimes while the screen is off.
- Main scaling: Hotplug -- Screen off scaling: Interactive, Ondemand, Performance, Hotplug -- Processor Max: 600MHz
Result: crashing as soon as u turn the screen on, or sometimes while the screen is off.
- Main scaling: Interactive -- Screen off scaling: Hotplug -- Processor Max: 300MHz
Result: In process of checking, hasn't crashed yet for more than an hour. :fingers-crossed:
Can someone kindly point out the obvious mistake I'm making here?
I really want to use hotplug, both as main and screen off.
FYI: I haven't done anything else to the phone apart from gaining root access.
i had issues with setcpu, i recommend no frills cpu control, and setting it down that low more then likely is also an issue, the second core i couldn't see turning off at a low clock and also i think it would max out easily causing instability (especially ICS) and above id say. uninstall setcpu give no frills a try and let me know would be glad to help with what i can!
Thanks for ur reply, yes I'll try no frills, but

I thought the same, but while i was using interactive scaling, it worked perfectly, no issues at all. Probably because both cores were active by default, so both on 300MHz when screen was off.

No, I've checked cpu usage visa adb shell, and if the screen off is in hotplug, like what it is right now, the phone stays at 300MHz with the second core turned off, most of the time. And the phone has been running now for more than 3hrs with screen off profile set to Scaling: hotplug -- Max: 300MHz, and the main scaling set to Interactive.
The problem I've seen is, when main scaling is set to hotplug. Doesn't matter whatever u set in screen off profile, it crashes if the main scaling is set to hotplug. But, if no screen off profile is set then, hotplug in main works flawlessly.
That's weird. I've been using SetCPU for a year or so on my RAZR GB/ICS and never encountered any crashes with hotplug or the default ICS's interactive.
I have even tried unofficial governers like smartass2, boostedassv2 and etc, no crashes.
I personally set my phone to use u/c 200-200 for screen off and I find it really saves a lot of battery, and even o/c to 200-1300 when it's on.
Are you using the setcpu from xda or from playstore? I'm using the one from playstore with Razr asia ICS.

I think I downloaded it from here.
But I think, they both are the same, from same developer

This means that you're using an old July 2011 version.
Do make use of playstore's 15 min return policy to test the newer ver. Maybe it will solve your problem.

[Q] Reboot issue

Just wondered if anyone can help me with this.
If I have an app open, ie messages and the screen times out, the phone locks and I have to take out the battery to reset. This dones not happen if I am on the home screen though.
I have root and I'm running Foxhound 2.7 I have also tried different ROMs and the same thing happens. I have done a megawipe are reinstalled several times.
Any idea what is going on?

try changing the kernel.
Governor Setting
1-) Which governor are you using. I got similar problems with "zzmove battery" governor.
2-) If you are using undervolt (UV) values dont make any change for 200mHz step. (or using standar -50mV, -75mV UV options try lower values)
Now using Googy Max Kernel and pegasusq governor and got no problem again.

Not undervolting but I'll give that kernel a try as I am using zzmoove at the moment with Boeffla.
Thanks

Sprint i/o scheduler

I was just installed no-frills to see if row was available because I heard it was on the Verizon version. To my surprise the default setting was row. Governor is set to ondemand.

....ok? where we going with this?

Phone slow after idle - how to setup governor

I have a rooted honor 5x with cm13. When I go to kernel adiutor and make sure all cores are running the phone is fast. after being idle it starts to be unresponsive but than gets better I think. I use interactive governor for both types of cores but can not change governor settings on little. How can I eliminate the lagging after idle? I have default governor settings. Is there a bnchmarking app which can set optimal settings?

The phone auto shutdown 4 cores

I have a rooted RN4 with RR (7.1.2) and ElectraBlue Kernel 8.0. When I am on low battery, cpu cores 4-7 will auto shutdown. How can I disable that feature ?
Changing the governer can solve this, by default the electra blue kernel is set to 'electron' governer which does all the magic. But changing it to something like, interactive can reset the settings. But keep in mind the magic of electra blue will not be much noticiable them
On my phone the default governor is interactive (electra blue kernel 8.0). But I use powersave. In this state (powersave) the phone have shut down 4 cores.
Then dobt use electrablue .use other kernels. Velvet is a fine kernel
