Hi,
I'm looking for a CPU control app, similar to SetCpu but with the following features.
Profiles
Set the amount of cores through Profiles.
Change the governor through profiles
Many different ways to enable profiles - eg App running
If anyone knows an app with all the following features, please tell me it!

I've searched the Legend subforum for setcpu and have come up with nothing relevant so here goes..
I'm looking for Legend-only SetCPU profile suggestions. I've found quite a few other forums with their own device specific profiles posted and I'm almost positive I cannot be the only other Legend & SetCPU user here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
I want to know too
I use these profiles;
Charging/Full 600/600 performance
Screen-off 480/122 userspace

But this is just downclocking because the legend default processor frecquency is 600MHz.¿¿How can we overclock the processor to i.e. 800MHZ??
Is there an app that will let you overclock depending on the app?
I think i've tried most of the popular progs, but they seem to be global overclocks
Right you are. Most programs use global overclocks, like SetCPU, but it allows you to only set profile parameters to certain items like Battery, Screen, etc.

If you have root and a kernel that support it, you can effect this with Tasker - I bump the speed up and change governors when I stream audio on my little Aria to prevent choppy playback, overwise I run underclocked for better battery life.
Hey guys. I'm looking for an app that is similar to SetCPU, but I can set my CPU overclock/underclock settings specifically for different applications. Meaning, I could have my Mantano Reader always at 300MHz but have Modern Combat 3 always at 1300MHz.
Anyone know of how to do this? I'm trying to maximize my battery. I'm on CM7.2 (Mirage Kang) and I have V6 but I'm still seeing some depressing battery loss just browsing with Wi-Fi on.
That's what your governor is for, it up clocks and/or down clocks the CPU according to what type of task is being performed.

Ah, I see. I just got my Nook Color around a week ago and I've installed Mirage Kang so I am extremely new to all this.
Could you point me in the right direction? What app for this would you suggest, SetCPU or something like Tasker?
Its under cyanogen mod settings in the settings menu.
Setcpu won't work with CM7.

I know of those settings (along with Nook Tweaks). What I was looking for was setting specific CPU settings for different apps. Like,
Mantano Reader : Always 300MHz
Andy-83 Calculator : Always 300MHz
Modern Combat 3 : Always 1300MHz
etc, etc, etc.
Specific settings for each app, not just generalized overclock/underclock settings for all apps.
(I hope I am explaining this well enough.)
I think you can set up rules such as those with Tasker.

There is no need to set it for each app. Just set it to on demand and the governor will automatically adjust the clock speed as it is needed.

Hi.
My question is: Is there a way to overclock the cpu by specifying a set frequency, to run at, when opening a 3d application?
For example: The cpu is running by default at 480/600 (on any min/max like governor). When a 3d app is started the max value should scale up to 787 and then revert back to the default of 600 when the app is stopped/unfocused.
I checked out the profile creation feature of some cpu overclocking apps but didn't find any to provide this kind of functionality.

I don't think you can because setCPU doesn't have that option from what i saw.
Play with the governors, see which one fits your needs. Some of them won't go to 787 anyway if you don't force it to.
Check the governors out :
ondemand – Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see “up threshold” in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.
interactive – Available in newer kernels, and becoming the default scaling option in some official Android kernels. The interactive governor is functionally similar to the ondemand governor with an even greater focus on responsiveness.
conservative – Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.
performance – Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “max” set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting “max” and “min” to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for CPU load.
powersave – Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “min” set value at all times.
userspace – A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor.
smartass – Included in some custom kernels. The smartass governor effectively gives the phone an automatic Screen Off profile, keeping speeds at a minimum when the phone is idle.

How do you tune the On Demand governor on the LG G3 CM12.1
On most kernels and devices they don't have these options
high_grid_load
high_grid_step
middle_grid_load
middle_grid_step
optimal_max_freq
Can anyone tell me what these options are for and do and how to turn them. Also these options are in the interactive governor too!
These options aren't on my N7-2013 and i am not a novice in the Android overclocking and system tweaking so i know how to tune most governors but when options like this are added i have no idea what they are or do
