Is there an app that will auto-switch your governor/min-max freq, say when the battery drops below a certain level or when you are plugged into power?

Yes there is! I would recommend taking a look at the app SetCPU https://play.google.com/store/apps/...rce=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=setcpu. I have used SetCPU since my Droid 1 was my main phone to do exactly what your looking for (I.E screen of minimum frequency, charging set a particular governor, less then 20% battery powersave governor, etc.). Let me know if you still have questions.

Most excellent! I'll take a peek.
EDIT: Well that is just the bee's knees! Great app! I also found SetXperia which does a few of the same things (not nearly as much) but also allows me to undervolt. The two in combo look ideal. Thanks again!

Would this cause CPU freezing/crashing
I tried undervolting even minimally and my phone crashes, regardless of the values
I'm perfectly willing to accept that I may have one of those unlucky devices that just can't handle it, however I just realized I've been mixing the too apps....could this potentially be causing CPU confusion, ultimately leading to crashes?

I doubt it I use both of tgem and nithing crashed maybe you phone cant handle overclock or ur settings try lowering them

i would only recommend using 1 or the other.. (voltage app is best)
and -25ma across the board what do you mean?
1200
1120
1000
800
400
200
100?
your -25 on all of them?
cause if you read the threads supporting voltage app you will see to only change 5-7 profiles meaning...... dont do all of them... i keep only 4 of them under stock voltage.... as listed below (some phones cant handle the actual under volting NOT the over clocking.... and some cant do either)
1200: -25mv
1120: -25mv
1000: -25mv
800: -25mv
400: stock mv
200: stock mv
100: stock mv
i have been over clocking sense we got the kernels to do so... (i9000 kernels)
so if you need anymore help just pm me and i can help with a really good oc/uv set up or in your case just use setCPU its alot easier!
voltage app
which is the best governor for voltage app?
I had the same problem using both and thought it was my phone not liking oc with no uv but then I figured out by removing setcpu and only using voltage app that my phone was stable up to 1400. I have read many threads that state not to uv all freq's and not to use more than 5 states in the drawer. Also try to create the least voltage steps as possible and not to touch 800 cause thats where the phone us set to go to sleep and wake at which is critical. I think that set cpu and voltage asp conflict each other with scheduling, but I am not a dev so could not be sure.

I have used both. Set CPU sleep profile works beautifully paired with voltage control app.
Alright what governor r u guys using? I'm using smartass2 and although I het excellent batt life when screen is off, it is a bit choppy and not as smooth as I would like.and it drains fairly fast when screen is on or plating angry birds for like 5 mins. I'm looking for something that's a good balance between smoothness and most importantly battery.
any ideas?

I use Wheatley. I usually get about 2h 15m to 2h 30m of screen time with the stock battery. No special tweaking to the parameters or anything either, just set it and you're good to go.

ive used lionheart, and it drained the batter SO fast. ima give wheatly a try on monday and intidemand tomorrow. compare the 2 results i guess lol
Battery stats on intellidemand are ok.. I'm a heavy user tho I use another OEM battery and an external charger and switch out thru the day.. I get about 1.5-2.0 hrs of screen time in about a 9-12hr period depending on what I'm doing.. sometimes I'll wake up and drain it dead in an hour and a half (dl, surfing, forums, texts few calls) I'm undervolted -50mv across the board. And set at 1.56ghz on viperrez using dsbs kernel..

flash a kernel that has them. DSB is the one that i know of that has a lot of them.
now what govoner takes FULL advantage of both cores and focus sololy on preformace one that i can use for hardcore gaming

no. preformace hasent turned on the 2nd core for me, also since it runs at max frequency all the time, and dosent scale down, unnessarly heat and ussage from the cpu builds up and cooks it. should only be uses for benchmarking IMO
Next noobish question. It's easy to find it in AOSP, but I can't find the governors in Sense ROMs. I'm currently using ViperRez.
Smartassv2 on ziggy kernel. Went about 15+ hrs with 2+ screen on hrs OC'd @ 1.8. I also tethered ALOT during the screen off period and ran multiple benchmarks. Stock battery

If you're using DSB's kernel (I am), his latest has pegasusq governor on it. It seems to turn on the 2nd core more often. I use system tuner pro and CPU Usage Monitor. CPU usage monitor allows you to put icons on the notification bar showing CPU speed AND cpu utilization for both cores. So you can see whats going on. Also system tuner allows you to 'force' the second core on. You can do this with Ondemand with good results. IMO

it hasent work with me.... every time i force all cores online, the 2nd one still just shuts off auto mtcicallly. i just gavce up on that, but yea im thinking pegasusq will be best shot. or interactice for both gaming.
Wondering if anyone has tried this on OG? My battery life is usually good, but lately I have been getting some serious overnight drain. I run battery widget reborn and let it put my phone in airplane mode and silent during my sleep time. Usually battery drain is very minimal, but recently I will sometimes lose as much as 20 percent.
I'm going to load setCPU and will report back.

I do, but the CPU in the LGOG will underclock itself. Cpuspy and antutu benchmark showed me that, and setcpu won't force it higher.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I underclock it to 1026Mhz and seem to get better battery life. I also have profiles in SetCPU to set the CPU frequency and governor when I'm at a certain battery percentage.

Use system tuner. Setcpu is always a little buggy. With me it would force all the cpu cores on.

Undervolting reduces the amount of power the cpu uses, this helps to increase your battery life basically. How to do it? Depends on your kernel/rom, if they have the option, some kernels will require a special app, custom kernels can pretty much use any app that controls the cpu, you can start by reducing the voltage by -25mv, see how stable the device is, if it doesn't reboot, etc. If it does crash and reboot, you know that's 25mv below your processors limit.
I'm just curious to see everyone's experience with the Faux kernel as opposed to the one that comes pre-installed.

I think they're both great you can't go wrong with either kernel. It's like choosing a lamborgini or ferrari, they're both awesome but it truly comes down to preference.
I think I got better battery with faux 31 but I under clocked and undervolted so I can't do a fair battery life test.

I've noticed better battery life as well; not majorly, but noticeably. Although I feel it also has a little perfomance drop. Could just be me, though.

Sorry for a question within a question, but what does undervolting/overvolting do? I've only ever tampered with MHz frequencies.

Don't worry.
Undervolting is basically adjusting the voltages so the cpu uses less voltage aka electricity. It helps a little but it can make your phone unstable so watch out. Of you undervolt use the system tuner app on the market. You should definitely under clock if you want to save power too. When you undervolt be sure to underclock, and don't do it too low or your phone might freeze! That's why your shouldn't go so extreme on it.
Overvolting is basically adding more voltage to the cpu. There is no point in doing it for our amazes to be honest. It is already a battery hog. I guess it can help if you want to over clock a lot but there is absolutely no point in doing that.
In older legacy phones if you wanted to over clock because the cpu would be so weak, like 600mhz then you would have to overvolt to over clock to like 1ghz if you were lucky. Our devices are 1.5 ghz dual core and sense isn't THAT bad. There's no point in doing overvolt in this phone though.
PS, check out my rom in the development section.

I just saw it in Venom Tweaks and was curious. The most I underclock to is 1 GHz; cuts down the CPU maximum by a third and doesn't hinder performance to much. What voltage would you recommend at that clock speed?
P.S. I have I plan on flashing it to try it out when I get WiFi access. Trying to cut down data usage since I don't have WiFi at home.

1ghz is perfect. As for voltage it really varies but I subtract 75 or 50 mv from all voltages.
