    I just rooted my Nexus 5 for the first time. I've seen people recommending this app to improve battery performances. Have anyone used it and if so could you recommend setting to use.

    Thanks,do you use the app. The first tab is where your set the overall CPU speed. Its at 300mhz main & Max by default. Your can also change the CPU mood on demand interactive etc. The next tab is for profiles -set speed when screen is off etc

    No but I've used CPU controllers on other phones. I don't even own a nexus, they're all the same

    Yep. :D:D
    Ah no, this is the one I like to use, simply hit the Max. Freq box and pick the second or third from bottom option, hit "Apply on Boot" and then apply.

    Thanks I'll have a look. Does it require a custom ROM.How do yo know if need a custom ROM. Would the app appear to run as normal but do nothing in the background?

    No it requires root. I don't think any app actually requires a custom rom. And most custom roms are based on the Nexus firmware so unless you wantCyanogenmod you don't need a custom rom.

    I don't understand what you mean by the last question

    From what I have been reading some of the CPU apps and other apps that require root access require a custom ROMS for kernel support.I stand to be corrected but I've read it on a few forums.

    I downloaded the app you suggested,its a more simplified version but I think I prefer SetCPU. You can add different profiles for for when your phone is locked or when a certain app is open. I suppose its trial and error. Thanks for your help though.
