Root Missing CPU settings?

[MuffinGod]

Hello. If the following question has been asked/answered I apologize. I've been looking for a while, to no avail. I am running cm6 and I've been looking for ways to improve battery consumption. I've seen several references to setting the governor to smartass in cm settings. I naturally looked in my settings, in performance and found nothing marked CPU settings. Did I possibly screw something up when I flashed cm6? Is there something else I need to install? I downloaded invisiblek kernal #28 from xda, and everything is running as normal. Any help or insight is much appreciated.

i am no pro but sometimes the roms don't have these settings available. to set them you have to use something like setcpu and it will set to smartass and what ever else you wish.

Thanks kidhudi. I guess I just assumed it was a feature of cyanogen cuz I didn't see any mention of setcpu in some of the threads I was reading. Do you know if setcpu is really worthwhile or have you heard of a universal way to max out battery performance. If seen alot of threads stating many different setups, but no real standard. I love cyanogen but the battery life leaves something to be desired.

SetCPU can only display governors (such as smartass) as long as the governor is supported by the kernel. You'll need a different kernel for either CM6 or 7, aside from what comes packaged with them, to get smartass.

Got setcpu from market and is set on smartass. Ill ill try it out for a couple of days and see what happens. I see u can set profiles, any recommendations?

Don't bother with screenoff unless you need 245/245. Smartass does it's own 245/384 screen off profile. I'd recommend one for over temp set to 245/384. Also, if you need extended battery life, you could add in profiles for <battery. I used to have:

Screenoff - 245/245 (priority 100)
Temp >50c - 245/245 (priority 95)
Charging - 245/998 (priority 90)
Battery <40% - 245/768 (priority 85)
Battery <25% - 245/560 (priority 80)
Battery <15% - 245/384 (priority 75)

Nice. Thank you much.

also cm7 doesn't require set cpu because the settings are found in the cynogenmod/performance/cpu performance tab

Unless it's changed since RC2, you can only change the full-time setting. SetCPU allows for much better profile management. Also, the stock kernel for CM7 doesn't support Smartass.
