SetCPU for Root Users (v. 3.0.9) Разработано MichaelHuang |
SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU settings on a rooted Android phone or tablet, including the Galaxy Nexus, HTC One series, Nexus S, Nexus One, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy series, and most other devices. You're under control: SetCPU can improve your performance, save battery, or both!
Automate SetCPU with profiles! SetCPU allows you to set up powerful profiles to change your settings under certain conditions, such as what app is running, when the phone is asleep or charging, when the battery level drops below a certain point, when the phone's temperature is too high, or during certain times of day. See the screenshots for examples of how you might set up profiles.
SetCPU's wide feature set make it useful to Android beginners and enthusiasts alike. Accelerate your processor to unleash your phone's true multitasking potential, or dial your CPU's speed down to save battery.
SetCPU also includes a "voltage control" menu, available to certain devices with custom kernels that support it, to control undervolting to save even more battery. Keep in mind that undervolting is only available for certain kernels.
Recent Changes:
Additional permission: Read logs is used for efficient app condition checking. That is currently all it's used for.
3.0.0:
Profiles tab
- Completely rewrote profiles.
- Older profiles will automatically be converted into new profiles.
- Added app and day of week in addition to the older conditions, and more are coming.
- Profiles now support combining conditions under logical trees, with nestable "and," "or," and "not" operators available. It is now possible to easily build complex profiles that take the place of multiple profiles in the older version.
- Actions can now be selected individually.
- Profiles can now be marked as "non-exclusive," which means they will not block profiles with lower priorities from evaluating. In this case, the profiles with lower priorities will perform only actions which have not been performed by profiles with higher priorities. SetCPU will keep evaluating profiles until it reaches an "exclusive" profile that evaluates as true.
- All number selectors in profiles are now in the style of the frequency selector in the main tab.
- The new file extension for exported profile settings is ".setcpu.json."
- To prevent ambiguous situations, it's no longer possible to select priorities that have been used by other profiles.
- The CPU temperature sensor on OMAP4 and some other devices should now be supported for profiles. The option will appear if available.
- Notifications are now set as an action per profile and can now be non-persistent.
- SetCPU will still use the main screen as a "default profile" to set if no other profiles are active. It is now possible to specify an alternate default profile by creating an exclusive profile with no conditions at priority 0.
- SetCPU now asks for a file name before backing up profiles to storage.
- It is now possible to share profiles without having the internal/external storage mounted.
Main tab
- IO scheduler selection has been added via a drop down menu in the main tab.
Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where the short benchmark always reported 0 ms.
- Fixed the labels in the pie graph in system info.
- Fixed some common crashes.
Permissions:
Root: SetCPU needs root permissions to modify the CPU speed and other settings.
Start at boot: SetCPU will start a profiles service at boot, if enabled. It also sets default boot settings, if enabled. SetCPU does not run in the background if profiles are not enabled, and becomes inactive after settings, if any, are applied.
Wake lock: This prevents the phone from sleeping while stress testing and benchmarking.
Write external storage: SetCPU needs to read from and write to the SD card or internal storage to back up profiles.
Read phone state: The "in call" condition needs this to determine if the user is making a phone call or not, and trigger the profile if the user wants to.

[2013-02-17] A Google User: Not remembering settings Suddenly its not remembering my settings, widget shows stock settings instead of running profile... Please fix |
|
[2013-02-17] A Google User: Great tool especially at being Free Works as advertised, very flexible and plenty of options. If the profiles had dock recognition as an option and the ability to remove toast notifications I'd give if 5 stars. |
|
[2013-02-17] A Google User: Game changer Normally my battery would get me to about 4:00PM. Now I get the whole day with about 30% spare. |
|
[2013-02-17] A Google User: Update Required The Frequencies don't stick on Tegra 3. Currently this app is useless for Tegra 3 devices... |
|
[2013-02-17] A Google User: Great app for the RAZR M!! The video helped me a lot!! The app profile is awesome. It makes Chrome so much faster!! Thanks Michael!! |
|
[2013-02-16] A Google User: Didn't work Doesn't overclock the Motorola RAZR V. Uninstalled |
|
[2013-02-15] A Google User: Testing so 1 star. I'm testing this app right now but it could use one extra profile, when the device and locked and the user turns on the screen to check the time or something from the lockscreen. I would like to see a profile where I can set the cpu speed to powersave since I'm only checking the time or batterylevel. |
|
[2013-02-12] A Google User: Great app! Very useful on my galaxy s, s2, and my, gn2 battery life is terrible on gs2 with this app I get at least 7 more hours even better on my note 2 |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: No voltages On Nexus 4 there is no tab for Voltages. Is that normal? |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: yes I love this app works perfect |
|
[2013-02-10] A Google User: Never used anything else Its a very useful app BUT needs GPU clocking now and what happened to voltage control |
|
[2013-02-10] A Google User: Time to update. Developer, many phones are now released with multiple cores. I think it's time your app to support multi-core CPUs :-) Other than that, great app. |
|
[2013-02-09] A Google User: SetCPU or Nothing ! Profiles and settings for which app is running works great, allows the CPU to function when and how j want it , quality app since its launch! |
|
[2013-02-09] A Google User: Great app Started using this with my Nexus one and have used it on my Nexus S 4g and now my Galaxy S II has always been a a great app. |
|
[2013-02-09] A Google User: Excellent. Very useful and easy to use app. |
|
[2013-02-08] A Google User: Won't Install! I buy and try to install, but all I get is a error saying I can't install to SDcard or USB storage. I was looking forward to using this app, but doesn't work or even install on my device. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, please let me know if you know my problem... |
|
[2013-02-08] A Google User: :) Καλη εφαρμογή |
|
[2013-02-08] A Google User: Samsung Users Beware - Recomended settings ? I'm hoping for a response from the developer as there is not a email on the website. REVIEW: No information provided for samsung users in regards to what settings to set it to in order for it not to blank screen your phone. Should atleast have recommended settings for samsungs galaxy s3 or note II. Can you please look into fixing this ? This is a great product and I really got excited about it but governors won't even really hold as it still spikes above the defined Mhz with the governors even if I select performance or Power saver... This has potential to be great for samsung galaxy note II. Please provide a fix !!!!!!!! |
|
[2013-02-06] A Google User: My phone won't boot after uninstalling I removed the app because whenever I overclocked above the stock the phone rebooted, so back to 1 GHz as stock. But after uninstalling - this app trashed my phone, so it won't stop boot looping. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! |
|
[2013-02-05] A Google User: Samsung Galaxy S 2 Set it up with only one profile; to underclock from 1200mhz to 1000 when battery is under 30. Phone went into meltdown when the profiling started notifying that it had accessed root permissions, froze, crashed, real slow to respond. Had to uninstall. |
|
[2013-02-03] A Google User: Frequency doesn't always stick Seems like this happens with all cpu apps |
|
[2013-02-03] A Google User: Won't Open App will not respond after 2 hours of use. Uninstalled. Waste of money. |
|
[2013-02-01] A Google User: Great! But... The display says I'm only using 1026 even when I'm at my max of 1512. I hope my its not a phone problem. |
|
[2013-02-01] A Google User: Haters and Noobs If you don't have a kernel that supports multiple governors and schedulers than no, it won't help. I have been using this app for 2+ years on 3 different devices and it works as advertised. When you wake your phone and it acts "choppy" it's your kernel or ROM and not the app. This app will only adjust your kernel not fix it. That means if you're working with patch monkey kanger for a kernel or ROM developer your results will reflect their work and not the app. |
|
[2013-01-30] A Google User: Must have for awesome phones (w/junk battery life) Of all the root apps I wish I still had after losing root due to a JB update, this was the one. My battery life was abysmal without it. |
|
[2013-01-30] A Google User: Absolute Awesomeness incarnate! |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Just brilliant!! I owe a lot to this app. Without this my Tab 7.7 would face random SOD's all the time, which was rendering it useless. I flashed stock ICS + EzyICS Kernel + SetCPU and set my CPU to minimum always @ 200 MHz when screen is off. I don't use it for anything else, but keeping my Tab from SOD'ing away!! Thanks a bunch!! Worth every penny! |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Amazing app! This app is quite amazing. On slower phones such as my LG Phoenix it speeds it up with its over clocking ability. It is very stable. -LG Phoenix |
|
[2013-01-26] A Google User: Nice Was great but setting won't stick now |
|
[2013-01-26] A Google User: Force closes Application force closes when accessing the voltage controls. Emailed the developer. Initially replied but then never got a response on how to fix the issue after buying the application. |
|
[2013-01-25] A Google User: Galaxy s 3 problems I like this app and it runs good normally but lately it keeps lowering the max to 1026 when I had set it to 1512 why's it keep loweing itself |
|
[2013-01-21] A Google User: Great application Must have for cheap android devices with root also great on my sgs3 |
|
[2013-01-20] A Google User: Fantastic! A lot of thought and planning went into making an app so customizable! Great job! |
|
[2013-01-20] A Google User: Great Been using it for years.decided to purchase to support. |
|
[2013-01-19] A Google User: Been using for years Thanks for this app. Read another user's comment that he usually runs his device underclocked. Then with the profiles you can run any app fully overclocked. Perfect app |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: my first post root app this is my first post root app. Looking forward to test the hype. will rate back soon! |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: Solid App For Root Users Been using this app for 3 years and I still love it. |
|
[2013-01-14] A Google User: Handy tool for custom kernels I always seem to come back to this app even if a developer makes their own app for kernel tweaking. However, one thing that I'd like to see added is the ability to detect wireless charging so my profiles still work on my Nexus 4. |
|
[2013-01-14] A Google User: Best |
|
[2013-01-14] A Google User: Great Works great to underclock to save battery but most recently having issues with the settings not sticking on my nexus 4 but still works on all my other devices |
|
[2013-01-14] A Google User: Always excellent Ive used this app on all of my andeoid phones. An HTC Hero, HTC Evo 4G, and now my Samsung Note 2. Awesome! |
|
[2013-01-12] A Google User: Does not work. This is not compatible with my Atrix 4G on 4.1.2. I want a refund....immediately. |
|
[2013-01-12] A Google User: No response to issue I have the galaxy s3 and it is not reconizing my rooted phone even though it is rooted. Why? Fix the issue |
|
[2013-01-11] A Google User: Superb Haven't used this in ages, returned and loving the latest v3 |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: There are better options... It's not a bad app, it is just that there are better programs available, in my opinion. In the short time I tried this out, it didn't perform near as well as Tegrak. Just wish I had tried it out a few minutes less so I could get a refund! |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Mto bom! Recomendo! Para vc que quer ter mais controle da sua cpu e consequentemente mais bateria. |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Long time set cpu user Still a few issues with screen on profiles but i know the developer will make it work. Very good developer that keeps up with the needs of "us" the users. 5 star 1/8/13 request- shake trigger for profiles. so shaking my phone (like i'm sure most of us do anyway) will make it work faster :P |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Great app I use it all the time to undervolt my phones and get awesome battery usage improvements with it. Can't live without it! |
|
[2013-01-03] A Google User: Samsung gs3 This app worked fine on my HTC evo4 and this is the reason why I rate it 5* on my gs3 my phone acts a little choppy when I open my phone from sleep. |
|
[2013-01-03] A Google User: Works well Solid app, but it's becoming unnecessary since most custom ROMs these days have this app's capabilities built in. |
|
[2013-01-03] A Google User: Good, but check it works Make sure it is compatible with your device /kernel /rom, otherwise it's useless |
|
[2013-01-03] A Google User: Great app! But... When I open the app there's a blank screen most of the time. It's not at all reliable when I attempt to open up the app. |
|
[2013-01-01] A Google User: Support Needs Dual Core support. HTC One S |
|
[2013-01-01] A Google User: samsung galaxy s2 reboots constantly DO NOT BUY I REPEAT DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!! BUY ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!! I REALLY NEED A REFUND MY PHONE WILL ALWAYS RESTART I CANT EVEN RESTORE WHAT A MESSED UP APP |
|
[2013-01-01] A Google User: Lacking some features The free O/C apps have caught up and superceded this app in functionality. :( |
|
[2012-12-31] A Google User: No response from developer Sent an email over a week ago with an issue and still no reply |
|
[2012-12-29] A Google User: Classic One of those apps that's been around for a while that just works. It's a must have for any custom kernel. |
|
[2012-12-29] A Google User: App sucks Installed on my rooted G2, app has to constantly reaquire superuser permissions, sent an email to the deveopler, no response, going back to Antutu FREE, UNINSTALLED, REQUESTING A REFUND! |
|
[2012-12-28] A Google User: Sucks Worked great for a day, now it won't take new clock speed no mater what I try it stays the same. F*#k this app don't bother. |
|
[2012-12-28] A Google User: Cool .............. |
|
[2012-12-26] A Google User: Good at what it does Not as fun as oc'ing pc hardware but that's not the developer or programs fault it would be nice if you could go past stock clocks had a voltagr slider and ram options |
|
[2012-12-22] A Google User: A+++ Greatest from the start |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: Great app Love this app! It has a nice interface and it's fast. Worth the money. Just wish it could tell me CPU temp not just battery temp. |
|
[2012-12-20] A Google User: Excellent! Extended battery life, cpu scaling, and much more. Just what the android doctor ordered. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: P |
|
[2012-12-18] A Google User: It's a good tool Can't adjust cpu voltage on the n7 running frankos kernel. When you save in the app no change takes place. Using frankos kernel app I can manipulate those settings. I'd like to do everything using this app. |
|
[2012-12-17] A Google User: Aokp m1 Love it great job. |
|
[2012-12-16] A Google User: Great app Was using it in my Galaxy ace and it was great. Only issue is sometimes it takes a few seconds to scale up from the min frequency and it introduces a clear lock screen lag in mid range devices. Now got this in my Google Nexus 7 tablet too! |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Awesome It's saved me so much battery life. |
|
[2012-12-14] A Google User: Must have! A must have for G2X phones. I used the recommended profiles and now, all programs run faster/better and rarely force close. No more choppy WiFi calls either! The battery lasts longer, too. Also works great on my Acer 500. |
|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: recommended Excellent tool! |
|
[2012-12-12] A Google User: Awesome Must have app for root users like me |
|
[2012-12-10] A Google User: Take control of Cpu I can squeeze more out of batteries. Using this app by default I run my phone at lower speeds and I crank it up when I need it to be more responsive. Now my batteries last for one and half days i.e almost 50% more. Using gnex running android 4.2 |
|
[2012-12-08] A Google User: Tip to all samsung galaxy s users: do not select auto detect! manual select samsung galaxy s for phone model/type! |
|
[2012-12-05] A Google User: Awesome Love the profile feature now my lg e510f is not a turtle thanks to this app |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: Best CPU controller Long established product that is reputable and easy to use |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: 5 stars Does its job perfectly |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: Widget Widget still not displaying correct min and Max after screen is dark for awhile..... don't care tho still my favorite app |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: Must have! This application is fantastic. It not the only helps you save battery but also helps you have a better and faster phone when you want |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Not working with N7 4.2.1 Constantly causing the device to hang. Toasts show up after a long delay. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Awesome I've been using this for 3 years. Love this app keep up the great work. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Incomplete voltage control Doesn't currently support HAVS voltage switching. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Great app. ... Great for Android phones. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Nice app It still freeze even with this new update on my Acer liquid metal... |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Love the control I really like having control over my processor speed. Setting scenarios to supply processor resources is a great. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: No complaints It works. It is pretty easy to set profiles just for what you need. Great app. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Great App Love it , great work |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Great app No issues on Evo 4G, saves battery while giving me performance when I want/need it |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Great Been using for years a great app and very reliable |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Top-notch An indispensable tool for power users, this app gives you all sorts of control. The developer keeps up with the bugs and new phones and software. Very stable. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Excellent |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Excellent? Yes. |
|
[2012-12-01] A Google User: Excellent app but time for the next level I have been using this app since my first droid. Work excellent in combination with an custom kernal which allow for oc'ing. Two things are lacking which I see as essential for the program to keep up with competition; Multi core displaying, lots of phones are multicore. Would be nice to see the state of each core. GPU frequency adjustment. Have a Nexus 7 with a tegra cpu's and a gpu. Lot's of kernels allow for gpu adjustment but have to use another app to make changes happen. |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Works Well Set CPU seems to be working great on my Huawei Mercury. If you set up the profiles right you should be able to get a good balance of battery saving and performance. This app along with a custom kernal has allowed me to Max out at 1.9 ghz! I can see a noticeable difference. |
|
[2012-11-29] A Google User: Great App! This app works great, but the max cpu frequency is limited to 1600MHz, which is the standard on my Note 2, any chance in the next update you can bump that up to about 1800Mhz? |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Horrible Not worth the money. Application causes more problems than anything. Phone has been constantly freezing & rebooting automatically as soon as the app is running. Does not work with ICS 4.0.4 |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Great app This was probably the first app I purchased and still use today. I like "time in state" feature that monitors CPU workload. Nice work! Thanks |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Cool update. Love the new ui and it seems to run a bit smoother. However, the widget seems broken. Constantly shows the same temperature regardless of how hot the phone feels in hand. |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Yes |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: The best Worth way more than it costs. |
