Root How do you guys confirm if SetCPU is working right?

[msjulie]

I should have clarified that you could not (at that time) uc/oc the 2.6.32.17 stock kernel. As of setPCU 2.04 (released this week) you can. By default, you cannot disable perflock on a stock kernel.

Do you mean when not rooted? Yep true enough. But setCPU 2.0.2 was controlling my completely stock but rooted phone just fine, it took 2.0.3 to get perflock unlocked on boot (great tool by the way, donation worthy)

edit - ok, saw that you were referring to newer stock vs older stock above so yeah that required 2.0.4 but prior what you couldn't do was unlock perlock on boot of the original 2.2 kernel

No, it has nothing to do with root (obviously you have to be rooted to use setCPU). The app has to be updated to support each kernel. If you look in the changelogs, you'll see when he adds support for each of the kernels. It used to be that you had to run a custom kernel completely.

could be but i've been rooted/using setcpu on 2.2 since forever so.. must have been dumb luck if you say it didn't work cause it sure did, and it claimed perflock unlock was experimental and might crash but it worked just fine.

Please someone help me understand this

On main screen in SetCPU:
245/806 onDemand, set on boot

Profiles:
charging/AC/Full 245/460 onDemand, 94 priority
Screen Off 245/384 onDemand, 90 priority

So if i understand this correctly, I should never go over 806mhz. Also when i plug the phone into the wall, it should not go higher than 460mhz

But right now i opened up the SetCPU app, and i keep seeing it jump to 998

And it is plugged in right now, why is it ignoring my charging profile? Why is it ignoring my main cap of 806mhz?

Does anyone have an apk for setCPU? I'm an xda member and the only link for the new 2.04 take you to the market version

Menu/Perflock Disabler. Then make sure it is set to Set on Boot

so this entire time it hasnt been doing anything at all?

 

[wrangler85]

My Dinc wont let me run setCPU with Myn's warm 2.2. It did at first and then it started rebooting the device when I went into the settings......

 

[howarmat]

no some ROMs need it set for setCPU to work, some ROMs work without this setting checked

 

[XXXdc5]

so after this going back and forth im kind of confused... lol

I just used the unrEVOked 3.22 to root

with that being said... can i overclock? lol

 

[howarmat]

your kernel has to allow for it.

 

[XXXdc5]

2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16??

 

[howarmat]

2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16??

that is a bunch of numbers and letters, that doesnt tell me whose kernel it is. is that the stock kernel?

 

[XXXdc5]

thats exactly what i thought which is why i just typed it straight in. lol

the only thing i've done to my phone is used unrEVOked 3.22 with clockwork mod. so you tell me

To the OP:

Here is how I checked to see if SetCPU was running (I'm running stock Sense ROM)

1. In the Main tab, set Max to full CPU (998)
2. In Info tab, press Long Bench. Note the time it took (mine took 455ms)
3. in the Main tab, set Max to lowest CPU (245).
4. In Info tab, press Long Bench. Note the time it took (mine took 1748ms)

Your time in Step 4 should be longer than in Step 1, because the CPU is underclocked and it takes longer to run the benchmark test. The actual numbers shouldn't matter, as long as one is significantly larger than the other.

EDIT: Make sure to turn your max back up to full CPU after doing this.
