I believe that means your current kernel doesn't support Smartass. I've had kernels that do support it and it shows up just fine.

And here it is!

2012-07-07 - 1.25
- New setting: automatically update current frequency in the stats screen.
- New setting: prevent other apps from interfering with frequencies (required for Jelly Bean and some HTC devices).
- Fix: "double sort" issue on stats screen for certain devices.
- Updated translations: Catalan, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Czech, German, Greek, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
- New translations: Croatian, Finnish, Georgian, Indonesian.

That was LONG! I even broke the limit of 500 characters on Play Store's changelog size, so I had to cut text here and there.

What's to be said? The "prevent other apps from interfering..." means that (if enabled) the app will change the (UNIX) file permissions on the frequency sysfs files so that they become read-only after no-frills has dealt with them. This seems to be needed on Jelly Bean (and some HTC devices, likely) and was kindly reported by Brandon.

Send me your CPU data adding "Hi, I'm thierryboulay from XDA" at the end, and I'll give it a look, but it's likely that the ROM you're using has a kernel which exposes 1.4 GHz as the maximum frequency.

And if it's really exposing 1.4 MHz, please tell me you're running a custom ROM, I don't want to think that Samsung can screw this badly the kernel!

I'm using HTC One X and set a max clock at 1ghz, after using the new settings which prevent other apps from interfering with frequencies, although it is not as bad as previous version, it still jumps to 1.4ghz

I'm on CM9 and franco's kernel

CM9 has its own frequency scaling settings. Have you disabled them? Is your ROM using Virtuous scaling daemon? I have no other clue, honestly.

I did not touch the CM9's frequency scaling settings, but it does reflect the settings i set in NoFrills

I dont think my ROM is using Virtuous scaling daemon, it is stock CM9

I have switched from many CM9 ROMs, all having the same problem. Maybe it has something to do with tegra 3.. not too sure. The developers dont seem to take this problem seriously too
