    SetCPU help please :)

    Ok when I woke up today I was running SG 5 and that was really it. I had my OC set to 950 along with some profiles. Today I see we have a new SG so I instantly had to have this. I went ahead and installed the SG 6, did the backup and wipe like I am supposed to. I then installed Helix Launcher. Everything work awesome!! But... When I reinstalled SetCPU and set it up I am not only allowed to choose 250,400,600,800 and 1100. What happened with this? Why cant I select 950 like i did in the past??

    Any help would much appreciated.. thanks for the time reading

    Same thing happened to me when I got setup CPU and I'm running Droidmod. It changed a d wouldn't le meeting select certain settings. Like I could no longer set up a 500 profile, either 400 or 600. Strange but it wasn't a big deal to me.

    I'm thinking that the previous kernel had 10 slots and the one you installed today is only 5 slots. Perhaps a quick visit to the SG site or to the site you downloaded the oC kernel will clarify.

    Double check what kernel is included with SG. They may have changed the slots for the newest update.

    Also make sure you select auto-detect in SetCPU

    Ok you are probably right on the slots. Looks like is a kernel that really helps battery usage. So I am guessing that what its all about..

    Here is another question though. Without going and reading through 500 pages of stuff. Is 1100 stable? I will probably just use the 800 but was just curious if there are any success stories on the 1100??

    The kernel choices that came with this ROM are all 5 slot kernels. Your choices for the 1100 are, 250,400,600,800,1100. You must reset all your Setcpu profiles. AdamZ, Dev of the SG ROMs, has a kernel pack where you can get back your old kernel. Just make sure they're ESE53 compatible. ChevyNo1 also has a variety of kernels to install.

    Some Droids can run stable at as high as 1.2ghz while others can't go higher than 1ghz. Just make a nandroid back up with SetCPU not enabled on boot for a fall back. Then you can try 1.1ghz. If you get boot loops or any other issue you can just restore your nandroid you made.

    Sounds like a good plan.. Ill probably just stay with the 800.. This new SG 6 with helix launcher is pretty damn snappy at 800.. Not sure why I even need to go higher haha.

    Thanks for the quick responses

    How do you get odd SetCPU speeds?

    I rooted on Saturday with Droidmod and added SetCPU the same day. With autodetect on I only see 250, 600, 800, 1000, and 1200 as options. Where does everyone get those odd speed options?

    BTW- I ran at 1200 for a day before I set the CPU profiles for lower speeds, and aside from severe battery drain (lasts 4 hours or so) I had no issues at all. It ran so fast and smooth I was amazed, especially having had the phone since Droid Day, Nov 6th it was like a new and better version of this phone. The highest temp was 109F. Since then I have backed down to 1GHz and the battery lasts at least 7-10 hours depending on use, and it's still pretty snappy. I have seen the highest temp now at 111F, but only while updating 8 apps from the market consecutively.
