Root Set cpu VS cpu tuner VS overclock widget

[Joe Eris]

I've tried all 3 and I don't know if there's any difference between them. Does one work better than the others? The only real differences I can tell between them is the level of "user friendlyness" ;Overclock widget= very basic, simple, & easy to use. Set CPU= A bit more detailed yet very comprehensive. CPU Tuner= The most complicated of the 3, looks really nice and claims to do a bit more in terms of battery conservation. Whats your opinion?

Anyone?.................. Hello

i installed CPU tuner and will try it for a few days. It is a little more complicated to setup that Set CPU and has a few more functions over it. I will see if it seems to make any difference in battery or performance for you and report back.

Did you ever decide which is better for battery?

I only used set cpu and I don't want bash apps but I don't think it did a damn thing.

Honestly, the only REAL increase in battery I've ever seen from anything is when i switched from the stock battery to the htc 2150 mah battery. I went from 6 to 8 hours of battery a day to 14 to 16. For me, I don't feel like there's ever been an app, rom, or kernel that's made any REAL / NOTICEABLE improvement in my battery life

i tried the CPU tuner but had to uninstall. It was asking for superuser permissions everytime i woke the phone up. SetCPU has always worked for me. The only profile you really need is a screen off and maybe a lower battery or heat setting. Otherwise you really are over managing it IMO.
