Hi everyone
I'm using SetCpu profiles to control cpu clock speed when certain conditions are met, but when it comes to app based profiles it does not work, I mean for example, if I set a profile to turn on when battery is at 30% or less, I get a notification about this profile running, but if I set a profile which must fire when GTA is running, nothing happens, main (unprofiled) MAX and MIN cpu speeds don't change, as if SetCpu couldn't or didn't listen when the profile app(s) is/are launched.
Do app based profiles work? If that's so, Do I need any workaround to make them fire? Is there other app like SetCpu having app based profile options?
I'm using stock Kernel and Rom. My phone is a Galaxy S4 Mini Duos running on Android 4.2.2 (JB), rooted.
Thanks for reading.

its a paid app so therefore i will not post any links. but there is some info about using it on the galaxy s devices and how we should avoid some settings and use others to dodge the bugs...

Description:
SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU settings (capable of overclock and underclock) on a rooted Motorola Droid, Nexus One, G1, G2, Samsung Galaxy S, or one of many other devices to improve performance or save battery.
SetCPU also allows you to set up profiles to change the CPU speed under certain conditions, such as when the phone is asleep or charging, when the battery level drops below a certain point, or when the phone's temperature is too high. See the screenshots for examples of how you might set up profiles.
SetCPU's wide feature set make it useful to beginners and enthusiasts alike. Accelerate your processor to unleash your phone's multitasking potential, or dial your CPU's speed down to save battery.
Have an HTC Sense device with a stock ROM or kernel? If you are having trouble getting your settings to "stick," press Menu > Disable Perflock. You still have to be rooted.
Galaxy S devices: ondemand scaling is recommended. There are issues with Galaxy S kernels that may result in crashes if conservative scaling governor is used, or if the sleep profile "max" value is set too low. Please do not set the sleep profile too low, and avoid using conservative scaling.
Requirements:
all Android versions
Recent changes:
2.1.0
- Significant UI and user experience revamp, including a new background for the widget, and new notification icons
- Added a quick priority swap button to the profile lists
- Significantly improved the reliability of autodetect on certain kernels
- Numerous bug fixes and crash fixes

I understand it's a paid app in the market. But if you're an XDA member you just go here:

It's not a secret...
Funny, the previous version of SetCPU specifically told Galaxy S users to use conservative scaling and that ondemand would cause crashes.
Now they're saying the reverse.
Edit: Well, I switched it to ondemand as the app dev suggested and the phone turned itself off a few minutes later...
Are we suppose to flash it thru cwr?
Edit: nm I got it.

Argh, ever since I installed this (even after uninstalling it) my phone keeps freezing randomly while asleep!

Do you have a profile for screen turn off? If you do disable it because the phone itself lowers the cpu while at sleep.

I have no profiles set. I tried doing the sleep profile but it caused some annoying lag when the phone was waking from sleep.
On demand profile settings do not work, my phone has crashed 2 times. SetCpu just doesn't work I guess.
Using Nero V 3 and set CPU isn't doing anything...max setting is set to 1000.
How did you guys get it to work and what are your settings?

Those of us using SetCPU are using overclocking kernels. Some folks might be using DOW, but I am using JAC XMOD because I'm still on Eclair as all the 2.2 ROMs annoy me currently.
(At least until I get my Bionix Blackout for Nero v3 theme finished!)
I have see a couple of people talk about their screen off / on call script, wherin clocks are limited to a different (lower) max freq when in a screen off / voice call state.
I did some searching and really couldnt come up with anything, if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
Thanks!

no one ?
Use System Tuner from market
SetCPU is an application that uses "Profiles" (Not the CM ones) so that each profile can be set to a different CPU governor and frequency. This way you can set a screen off or a high temperature profile to use a lower frequency. Fortunately, SmartassV2 has a very good frequency management so you really don't need SetCPU if you are using it.
i swear i have seen something like an init.d script that does what im asking... id much rather not have another app running in the background.

1% battery drain in 4 hours... minimal screen off frequency... higher frequency only if requested by kernel. I bet your script does only the minimal screen off frequency.
You can do that in tasker app. Its paid app but you can grab a beta trial from their site.
ok... lets try and rephrase this question.
i DO NOT WANT AN APP THAT HAS TO ALWAYS RUN.
i want a scrip that will detect when the phone is in voice call state and limit the phone to a frequency of my choice.
Hi. I want to know if there is any profile app (Home, Work, School, Cinema,etc) with scaling processors suport (I.e. SetCPU).
For example, I want to set with one touch the phone to silent, screen with low brightness and ondemand scaling processor. Any one know an app that can do that?

You can use Tasker to create a widget which will launch your required profile/tasks.
Google "tasker widget" for a walkthrough
It is a paid app but worth every cent if you like automating your device.
I am starting to believe that the ICS kernel scales properly although some people may claim it only scales from min to max.
I noticed on the stock GB kernel, the exact same thing happens when trying to use CPU controlling apps such as setcpu. However, for BOTH GB and ICS without using CPU controlling app, I can see the in between frequencies being used. When I try adjusting the slider THEN it starts the freaking out in terms of min/max. (Rom toolbox)
I even notice the battery life worsen tremendously when trying to use setcpu, antutu, etc on STOCK frequencies. Perhaps it has to do with people trying to use CPU apps on a kernel with the perflock enabled?
With the absence of a CPU controlling app on ICS , my battery can last the SAME (not worse, for sure) as it on GB.
Perhaps this can help those who complain about bad battery life on ICS

You don't need to wonder anymore! Its a function built into HTC kernels called "perflock" and its function is to continually reset the values for the min and max frequencies in order to prevent other applications such as setCPU from taking control over the CPU frequencies.
I've been using SEbastianFM's ICS OC kernel with setCPU. You are correct, that it does scale properly even though the min/max frequencies hop around. If you take notice of the current frequency, its usually appropriate for the current load level.
Furthermore, if use setCPU profiles to control the CPU speed, I've noticed it prevents the kernel from periodically reverting back to its default speed and governor settings. setCPU occasionally crashes (FC's) about once a day on me, but since I have the widget on my homescreen I notice it starts right back up again within a second or two and starts controlling the CPU speed again.
I would like manually create settings for when my CPU is overclocked and underclocked and I was hoping to find some help with this. I want my phone to underclock to roughly 800mhz - 900mhz when the screen is off, battery is bellow 20% and when the phone is above a certain temperature and overclocked to 1.1ghz at all other times. How would I go about doing this? I am new to tasker and there doesn't seem to be an option for CPU controll. If someone could advise me how to do it, rather than just direct me somewhere I can download a profile, I would appreciate it.
I am using a HTC Desire with VJ's CM 10.1 rom (performance control is not in settings as of now, using daemon to overclock)
