SetCPU Setting/Profile Suggestions - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had rooted my Hero a year or so ago with Android 1.5, and recently upgraded to 2.1 which lead to a great deal of lag at all times namely while using any Phone functions. I rooted the 2.1 and have been using ZenHeroFX 2.0 ROM with the Darchstar - Standard_vUV2_710 kernel for a few days now. Phone performance still has been pretty laggy with the overclock on many functions. however, most annoyingly I've been having the same problem others have been, extreme lag answering calls to the point of missing them constantly.
I installed SetCPU today in an attempt to address this and tried to look around the forums for some good settings and profiles for the Hero. My battery life has always been excellent but was looking for more of a performance boost without sacrificing TOO much on the battery life front. I saw a few scattered ones but was looking more for people's complete profile setup to find the best or close to it.
Here's what I'm going with for my initial setup:
Base Settings: 768 Max + 633 min
Screen Off: 480 Max + 245 min [priority 95%]
Charging/Full: 768 Max + 710 min [priority 85%]
Battery <21%: 537 Max + 245 min [priority 75%]
Battery <66%: 710 Max + 537 min [priority 65%]
I haven't messed with any of the advanced settings at all. I'm basically going to see if I notice any difference with these and I guess just play around to maximize speed and battery performance.
Can I get some feedback as far as my settings go as well as some of the settings more advanced users than myself are using?

The settings that those OC kernels run at are already optimal, you wont lessen lag by running setcpu also, probably just make it worse.

Check that your 'Slot Cycle Index' is at 0. It's how frequently your phone 'checks in' to the tower to see if any calls or messages are coming to your number.
Pull up the Dialer and type in ##DATA# (DATA=3282 fyi)
Choose View Mode.
Then select Advanced.
Scroll down until you see Slot Cycle Index and it should show a number. I think the Hero's default is 2. If you take it down to 0, it will make your phone check-in to the tower much more frequently (like every second as opposed to every 4 seconds or something like that), which lessens your phone call lag a great deal. I changed this a few months back and haven't missed any calls due to phone lag since then.
You'll have to choose Edit mode to actually change that value, and you'll need your phone's MSL passcode from Sprint to do get into that.
If this isn't the problem then I'm not sure what to suggest.

After all this modding done to my phone, how come I've never seen seen this mentioned ?? Anyway this sounds great! However, it sounds like battery life would suffer as a consequence...? What are your experiences with this tweak?
Edit: here's an easy way to get your MSL without calling sprint:

I haven't noticed any negative effects on my battery life in everyday use, still lasts me a full day with all the stuff I normally do on my phone.
It does drain your battery a bit faster if you're in an area with really weak or no signal, but that's all I've ever noticed.

I able to view the settings... slot cycle is set at 2. However it requires a password to change it. Any clue on which password it is? I tried entering nothibg but it didn't work.

overclock widget

worked great for a while then kept force closeing anyone haveing problems??
It seems to be working fine for me. One thing is that when I set the clock to 128 or something, the status displayed on the widget still shows 527. The performance is significantly slowed so I assume it's doing it's job.
Overall I think it's a nice little widget. Great for maxing out performance, and maxing battery life by limiting performance.
Phone:
Black G1
JF 1.51
Yup...me too
I will make the change but it sometimes does not refresh the gui. It will also not work if you reboot. (if i remember correctly) also tons of force closes. I am on 6.01 and have tried JF1.5 and am curently on HERO but have not had success with the widgets on the build yet so I dont have a confirmation.
Could someone post the previous version of this app please? The updated version on the market shows "problem loading gadget" on the Hero rom when you add it to the screen..previous versions worked without any problems. Thanks in advance.
edit: nm..fixed it..just had to run the odex optimization script and all is good again
just use SETCPU from market...its more stable thank open overclock......at least it doesnt unclock back to 384mhz
what is a good configeration for over clock..i dotn want to mess up my phone??
I was thinking the same and should I have it on always max. Or what?
I've got mine set to 128Mhz min and 527Mhz max, it has drastically increased my battery life. Batter life barely drops 1% overnight.
Anyone have the Version before the 1.7 update. The new update doesnt seem to work on hero w/ Rosie.
You can grab the 1.6 apk from the Dev's Google Site (check the Files section).
1.7 doesn't work with Ion for me either

Did setcpu support choosing a different freq. when the screen is off? Setting that to 128 - 245 has helped my battery greatly. One question for anyone using OC apps, does your phones at any time run at a lower freq than what's specified as the maximum? I just set my phone to (with the screen on) to 128 - 384 because if I put it all the way to 527 it won't come down (unless I turn the screen off).

1.2.0 does not currently.
I swear, the next version will (I swear!). I'll also add some basic battery profiles (if battery is less than 50%, set the speed to something) and a profile for charging. Of course, it'll always be free here (link in my sig).

Yes. You can usually catch it by doing cat proc/cpuinfo in ADB. It depends on what the phone is doing at that moment.
That's strange it doesn't work well with hero. Since I'm using haykuros adp1.5hr3 it workd beautifully, but the regular overclocker app doesn't even budge and I uninstalled that..idk tho, probably a build issue as far as I'm guessing.

The creator of the original Overclock app hasn't updated his application for even Cupcake build support yet. I thought he removed it from the market.

Yeah NeoBlade (thanks!) gave me the tip on that one yesterday. Seems to be helping a ton.
Min384Max527
Screen off Min128Max245
I can't find Overclock Widget in Market, was it removed?
I have the Overclock Widget and my question is, is it bad for my phone that while my screen is on i have it a min 527 max 527 then while screen off min 128 max 245... I've noticed that phone charges last longer but the useage of going back and forth determental to the phone? Thanks

Thanks, that would be of great help. Specially the battery profile settings. If you could also put a monitor, be it a widget or something on the notification bar it would be beyond awesome, or maybe a just notification of when the speed is changed and to what it was changed to.
Does anyobdy know if this SETCPU works on Hero ?
And must the app be on after i set the clock or can i close the app after ?

cm6 nightly/rc1/rc2 battery sucker > Call HTC?

ever since i flashed cyan6 ive been getting super battery problems and im starting to think its my phone and i should call htc. so before you ask questions lemme tell you what ive done. ive changed my setcpu to ondemand 998 to 245, 384 to 225 when the screens off. ive used auto brightness instead of my own custom brightness. ive also tried the HTC battery calibration process and that didnt do much either. on cm6 under about phone>battery use my display is always the highest percentage by far. for example its been 93 percent with 8 minutes on. ive also flashed wildmonks kernel to save battery and saw low results. any help would be super appreciated
Don't call HTC about problems with custom roms. Flash back to stock and see if the problems persist. I have no problems with the current nightly builds.
Don't use setCPU the way you are using it because it interrupts those values which are in the kernel already. setCUP is only for overclocking, that is it.

really? so dont underclock at all. just overclock. and your saying i should flash back to stock froyo?
Just uninstall setCPU for the sake testing. All values should remain as default in that application except for the max high-end value if you want to over-clock, but even then it's such a small difference I view it as more of a show-off point rather than a practice use state.
Flash one of the newest nightly builds, see if your battery problem goes away.
Don't bother HTC if you have problems with custom roms only about problems with the stock rom.

So you have battery problems with a custom ROM, and you think it's HTC's fault.... wat?
Sure, send it in. $245 later, they'll send you a stock Nexus One with a new motherboard.

Install OS monitor. Open the app, go to the right tab messages. Now hit menu, options, scroll down to dmesg, filter tag, and type in the 4 letters batt. Now go out of settings and to the right tab messages and see your numbers. When you find data you want to keep for comparison, click export.

[ROM Feedback] CM 6.0.2 (09/05/10)

To my knowledge, there is no thread dedicated to the new numerical releases of CM. Let us start with the newest, CM 6.0.2.
Please post your anecdotal data, including benchmarking scores, bugs, and glowing experiences. Perhaps this will serve as an unofficial repository for issues that prove consistent.
Note: After modifying my WiFi settings, specifically disabling sleep mode while the screen is off, I've encountered no related instability.
Mail FC Fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=394316&d=1283500340
Systemic issues yet to be addressed:
-LEDs do not work save for charging
-Outgoing calls initially drop before reconnecting
-Lockups or reboots, likely stemming from SetCPU
-OS does not recognize internal storage
Does this version fix the wifi not staying on?
Did you change your settings to Never sleep for wifi and just left the wifi on? Thanks...I want to try different settings and see if I can eliminate reboots/shut downs.
are we waiting for the nightly for the newest fixes like LEDs or is there gonna be a new release like .3?
OP you are a month behind (it's 9/3 not 8/3)
After fixing the mail fc, this rom is very stable except for one lingering issue. I guess it might be wifi related. I went all day without any issues with wifi on constantly (and bt) but when I left work (and seemingly as soon as I got out of wifi range) the phone was locked up with nothing on the screen, unresponsive. I had to pull the battery. This has happened since RC3 for me. I am going to try it without wifi over the weekend. Otherwise, BT streaming adio now works perfect, and the internal memory gets scanned for pics/images. I'm going to keep running it though as this wifi bug should be fixed soon.
not to mention we're commenting on it in the more official thread posted up by the author of the rom .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755690&page=111
however just to say it.. so far its running quite well, I found a correlation between wifi and BT causing issues with each other... commented on it in the other main thread after some extensive testing today.

Yes, there definitely is still issues with wifi. The issue seems to be exacerbated when running SetCPU with a profile that underclocks when the screen is turned off. Since I've stopped using SetCPU I havent had a single freeze, although I might have just gotten lucky so far.
SetCPU will not run at startup for me, even with the option checked to start at boot. I had to set Tasker to run it at boot as a workaround.
When phone is in Airplane mode I still am able to recieve text messages.

I would have to second the issue with SetCPU. As soon as I overclocked it and began using the rom I noticed the phone would get hot abnormally fast and would reboot a few times within the first few hours. Not sure what is going on here as it worked fine on the RC.

I believe the thread referenced by you refers to RC3, whereas I am specifically looking for feedback on the newest numerical releases of CM 6 for the incredible.
Update: leaving battery percentage at 91 before bed with system panel running, will see whats eating up the most juice. So far stable n fast with no issues (except LCDs).
I get random reboots and freezes every thirty minutes if so on a fresh wipe of 6.0.3 I tried with setcpu and without but always with the built in hotspot running. Same issue since RC3
LED notifications dont work. LauncherPro Plus FCs on every reboot, other then those things im good with it, great wallpapers , great rom

android.process.acore 0.1%
Plus several honorable mentions with 0.0%. I have yet to perform this experiment with Ruby or ID.

[Announcement/Update] SetCPU Profiles w/ Manhattan Kernel

First of all, for anyone who has not yet tried the new Manhattan Project 1.6ghz kernel by Team Whiskey, i suggest you do so (http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821514). It is currently in alpha but so far has gotten outstanding feedback. Ive personally been running it and I'm not looking back.
Up until now its been well known that SetCPU profiles not only dont work on our phone, but also causes crashes and severe instability. However, SINCE I FLASHED THIS NEW KERNEL (and running Bionix Fusion 1.1), I have successfully profiled my phone. Here is what I've been running all day with absolutely no issues, and my phone running like LIGHTNING:
Main: 1600-200 Conserv.
Screen Off: 200-200 Conserv.
Temp > 50: 800-200 Conserv.
I posted these results in the kernel forum, but I also wanted to post them here for everyone to see because i know that the lack of SetCPU profiles has been a major complaint around here. If anyone would like to try this out and verify that it works for them also with this kernel, please post here, so everyone can finally enjoy the beauty of overclocking AND underclocking.
Once again, I'm running Manhattan Project Kernel and Bionix Fusion 1.1
Outstanding!
Appreciate the profiles. Should be a great help. I personally lowered my Temp to 40c but thats just my opinion
Excited to get the running will tell results soon!
So had my phone sitting for a bit, it became unresponsive and i think it had something to do with the sleep profile. I went ahead and changed it to 400/200 conserv for testing.
Awesome. But is the set on boot option still not working?
Oh and just an educated guess bit I would figure no Voodoo on this kernel. So disabling just in case before I update

OCLF Ext2 v2.2

I'm also trying "Overclock Widget" to see if i get better results
As much as I love Overclocking to 1600ghz, my it is beautiful....id also feel much more comfortable being able to underclock when its sleeping.........this is probably a wild goose chase, but i dont care, im bored at work
With screen off 200/200, phone does not wake up, changed to 400/200, still no wake up. Both set to conservative. Disabling profiles for now.
EDIT: Found the problem, if you enable Performance scaling on the main tab, and switch it back to conservative, it really doesn't switch. This is what was causing my Vibrant to not wake up! I had to set it to on-demand, leave setCPU and switch it to conservative, before it would stick. Re-testing 200/200 screen off.

you realize that the phone does this automatically, right?
turn on set cpu with nothing going on in the background and just let the phone sit. it will drop down to 200mhz and stay there.
the profile setting for temp is a good idea, but screen off is just going to cause lag issues. if the screen is off and the phone isnt doing a sync or something else, you can bet its probably chilling out at 200mhz

Thanks for the hope, it worked. YEAH! It now wakes when it should, and profiles appear to be working just fine.
EDIT: I was testing different benchmarks with scaling on conservative, on-demand and performance to see if they altered my benchmark results. The difference was minimal, but I forgot to change scaling back to conservative and it wouldn't wake. When I pulled the battery, rebooted and checked SetCPU, it said conservative, but was stuck on performance. Changed to on-demand, left SetCPU, back in and changed to Conservative. It worked.

dont be fooled, it can often work for a while before it shows its ugly side, be patient
I've never had any problems with profiles? The only thing that needs to be kept in mind is that if you check "set on boot" you'll get errors. Anything but "conservative" for scaling will give you errors.
edit: for screen off don't be so stingy trying to set it to 200/200, if you need more battery life then get a bigger battery or spare batteries or Juice Defender , I usually set it to 200/800 and I have no issues.

OK, I don't have mine OCLF yet but so far so good.
I have run Sleep profiles of 200/200 and 400/200 and the phone wakes up every time. I have gotten a txt message as well during my test and the screen lit up just like Bionix should! Will continue to kep messing with it....

if it does so automatically then why is there an option to adjust "screen off" values?
Setcpu automatically scales between the high/low you set. SO if you let the main value stay at 1600-100..when the screen is off it will scale at a lower value of course cus you're not using the phone..but it wont stay at 200, because it has a Max of 1600! So depending on background processes it could scale back up to 4 or even 600 while screen is off
MY suggestions:
Download superpower battery saver from market, tweak to turn data on/off with screen and force ondemand cpu scaling
Download Autokiller--donate to get extra functions-- and set the value to Extreme or Ultimate when screen is off and Moderate or Optimal when it is on
I did that without setcpu profiles and it took 4 1/2 hrs to go from 81 % to 70

It always restarts automatically, when i make a call, the call just freezes and when i turn the phone on from standby to see what happen, well you guessed it, it restarts! its pretty annoying i went through 2 batteries today in 8 hours, because of the restarts. please help!
If your using the stock kernel I think its overclocked to 768 not sure though. Try one of dec's 691 kernel the #589 is my recommendation. Hope it helps good luck.

There could be a lot of things happening. The most common is that your running a clock speed higher than that which your phone can handle. Not all heros are created equal, mine for instance starts rebooting at anything higher than 691. Try a different kernel or if using setcpu or over clocking widget to lower your upper end clock speed. Your phone freezing when coming out of standby can mean your lower clock speed is too low. ASOPGB has JIT enabled by default as well. Go into the settings and turn it off, then reboot. You will just have to play until you find out what works for you. Good luck!

Set cpu or similar will not fix the issue, laie was right a capped 691 kernel is needed and probably a capped recovery as well. Btw jit is no longer default in gb, and jit would not cause reboots anyway.
sent from my hero, which no longer sucks ass

Ahh thanks for the info, I had not gotten through all the new posts on the other ASOP GB threads. Good to know though. I have no tried out the rom, I plan to this weekend and my phone does NOT like kernels that clock above 691.
