[APP] RogueTools v1.1 - [Overclock & Change Screen Density] - [Updated: 04/27/2010]

[APP] RogueTools v1.1 - [Overclock & Change Screen Density] - [Updated: 04/27/2010]
I now present you with RogueTools v1.1.
Summary:
This application is designed for the Vogue, Kaiser, Polaris and Nike devices. It allows you to dynamically overclock your device as well as change the screen density.
Requirements:
This application requires write access to your /system so this will only work on EXT2 and NAND installations.
Overclocking Notes:
Overclocking results will vary. Based upon the beta test results everyone was able to Overclock to 500mhz and have very stable results. Above this results really were mixed. Give it a try, I'd love to hear your results.

Awesome. Can't wait to try.

Will this affect the battery life?
Right now the battery is bad enough with android, but it does sound really nice.

Nice,
will try it out

Overclocking will always effect battery life negatively. Under-clocking will increase it.
You don't always need your Kaiser running at 400 Mhz, but I think Android throttles it anyway.

When sleeping it underclocks to ~200Mhz (it seems that "cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep BogoMIPS" displays something around the clock value).

nice work bro...works great on my tilt

Are you serious?
I may have to raise the max threshold for you Kaiser users. 700???

Holy crap this works awesome. Tried it on Polymod 2.1d and it kinda blew my mind. I've only overclocked to 450mhz so far, but it's a night and day difference. Thanks a ton myn, great work.

I've set mine to 500 Mhz, any chanche for overheating (when going higher then 500)?
(I've deleted some .apk packages (voice dialer,...) and together with this tweak it runs really great, almost 40MB free ram whe killing all apps)

Great app. Can someone give a bit more info about the "increase screen dpi" option? When and why would I want to use this feature? What is a "good" value?

I can't say for sure since I'm not the one that developed this, but it seems to me that it should actually save your battery since it underclocks when the phone is sleeping, unless of course you're actively using it a lot while at 500mhz or more, in which case you'd use your battery quicker and run the risk of overheating. Like I said, I can't be certain, so you may want to wait for a reply from myn himself on it.

It should be set at 120dpi by default, at least it was for me. The dpi is "dots per inch," which is pretty much what it sounds like. If you make the value higher, it will make things larger. If you make it smaller, well you get the idea. I played around with it some to check it out, but I'm happy with the default dpi.

Thanks tony. I guess it could be useful for applications that do not work correctly in Kaiser's QVGA, like iGO for example. Would a lower dpi setting compensate for iGO's larger resolution design?

Reducing the DPI makes everything small so iGO might work but it will make reading everything harder.

[App] Overclocking CPU Speed to 624Mhz

Hi,
Many threads in forum talking about overclocking, but here i found a simple and little application that let u set cpu speed to 624Mhz.
No installation required. Put the app in your device and choose your speed.

Can you share some of your experience to this application?
I installed and feel as same as before nothing different!

how do you "choose" the speed? I have no idea how to do that.I've installed and nothing else.

I just found this app in another forum.
Put in your \Windows folder and create a shortcut in Start Menu.
U have only 2 speeds: 520Mhz and 624Mhz.
Choose one.

since you´re using it what do you personaly think? is it stable/safe?

Just tried it, and i dont see a difference. out of curiosity, what forum did you find this in?

It's safe. And personnaly i don't see much difference too, but there is no other app to overcloking our devices for now.
I saw in PPCGeeks forum.

you ppl now overclocking is that the cpu gets more powe/ energy/ voltage.
it can do serous damage to youre mobile

But CPU of Blackstone is 528 MHz, not 520 MHz. These speeds (520 and 624) are speed steps of Marwell CPUs. Then I think this application is not for Blackstone.

Can you say from where exactly you get this? i mean the Thread from PPCgeeks because there have diferent overclock apps for diferent devices.. also some of them are old i mean the cab is made 2008 year and they don`t work or can damage your device now you post this in the Blackstone thread and i think then you need ot be sure its for Blackstone and our processor so please post the original link to read more about this.
The other point is that you and the other peoples who try it say thay they dont see any diference believe me with 624Mhz will have diference for naked eye in the performance of the Blackstone so this maybe mean that the app just not working for us...
Anyway will wait for the link to read more.

I have tested for 1 day, my device lock up 5 times and lastly I did a hard rest to clean this application away.
Anyone happened just same with me?

Someone who don`t install this already need to install 1st GLBenchmark 1.1.0 in the phone memory then soft reset and imideately to Bench the device after this to save the results to install the Overclock tool to make it to 624Mhz again Soft Reset and imideately after this to RUN again the Bench and save result and then we can see do have some diference from the 2 Bench results.

Sad truth: that is not funny. This app has been already busted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507798
I've tested it by SPB Benchmark- there were no differences between "before" and "after"

Are you kidding me? That would be absolutely awsome! An application like that would perfectly fit my needs.

not working!

Eing????
OC on a PC means go into the Bios. Who, what, when and how goes into the bios of a blackstone????

I have used this in my TP2, cant really say there is a notable difference. Ofcourse there are some lockups associated with it as well. Not worth it in my books.
This will not kill your device. Just a Hard Reset at the most.

SETCPU question

I am on SPRINT LOVERS 2.2 ROM and the latest AUTOBUMP KERNEL that is floating around... what is the best SETCPU governor to use? I had it on SMARTASS for the main profile with 998/128 and then a screen off profile set to power save 245/245 but I noticed that it never went lower then 245 when the screen was on. Now I charged the main profile to ON DEMAND and it does drop to 128 at times like it should.. I sitll kept the screen off profile set to POWER SAVE and the charging profile set to performance....
Can someone on the EVO still on 2.2 recommend which governor for the main profile they use and which one for the screen off or charging profile they use.
Thanks....

I use conservative for everything. Screen on is 998 / 128. Screen off is 128/245. Works fine.
FYI, if you use "Power Save" that overrides your numeric values and locks it on 128.

Annoying. Lugging around a bunch of batteries. That's not managing power. managing power would be something you do or the phone does to make better use of the power you have.

Annoying is having a mobile device that has to be plugged in for me. One battery in my pocket is hardly lugging lol.

If you were actually managing your power, it wouldn't have to be plugged in all day.

Now there is an assumption.
Until I swapped to mikG I did have SBC and more havs. My phone usage is extremely high and I use it for both work and entertainment. I already mentioned above that I have a couple basic profiles set, however, due to the nature of my usage compromising battery life for performance isn't something I am willing to consider.
What more can I do aside from getting an extended battery?
Here is an example of my phone under more normal usage:

Could you try the cpu temp notification, just turn it on and off like 10 times and tell me if you get any FC or if its not showing.
Thanks

Version 1.7
A lot of bug fix. Fixed governor settings not applying, added a check box to set governor at boot, fixed clear cache for ROMs that doesn't support it, fixed crash for CPU temp notification, fixed loop when device can't reboot, clear cache, etc. Added GSF id and System id info, (Will just show it to you).

If anyone get any other FC when enabling CPU temperature read, please report it again, since it should be fixed. Thanks.

New version with Rom management. Only available for CWM Recovery!!

I think you have a minor typo in OP 'turn off CPU 2' should be 'turn off CPU 1' as cores are CPU 0, CPU 1 (duel core) then CPU 2 and CPU 3 (for quad core device)

Yes I know that, but for not developers people seeing a number 1 is like the first CPU will be off. Since you normally start counting with the number 1. I did name it number 1 in one of the tests and I received a lot of e-mails asking me if its safe to turn off the first CPU and why I'm not doing it with the second CPU. So I decided to change the number so that way people wont get confused.
So basically you are right, but I did it on purpose.

[Q] One X overheating and not going into low cpu speed - Trickster MOD

Hi there!
I have 2 HTC One X, one of them is overheating in normal use and the other, with exactly the same use, is not.
I mean normal use by 10 minutes on facebook, 5 min on e-mail program, 5 min on internet browser.
Both have the same stock ROM version with Android 4.1.1, HTC Sense 4+, Software Number: 3.14.707.24.
During the tests they were not charging, almost same battery level and same installed and running apps. Also were purchased the same day in the same store. The only things that actually changes are the accounts, contacts and other personal data.
After use I have checked on Trickster MOD app to compare the temperature. And the Hot One X was really hotter, as expected:
- Hot One X:
Battery temperature: 42ºC Health: Good
CPU temperature: 52ºC
- Other One X:
Battery temperature: 35ºC Health: Good
CPU temperature: 39ºC
But, besides that, I saw something odd on the "Hot One X", it was not going into low cpu speeds.
Trickster MOD says:
Not Used States
51 MHz, 102MHz, 204Mhz
This explains why is getting hotter.
Also this is only happening on the "Hot One X", on the "Other One X" the Not Used States list is empty.
Here is a screen shot of the Hot One X:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, comparing to the "Other One X", the 340Mhz cpu speed is much less used on "Hot One X", what means it uses more higher speeds. There was no lags on neither phone.
So my question is:
Is there any way to make it use also the low speeds? I mean, is there any configuration for this?
I think that maybe there is some way to enable/disables cpu speeds, or make a profile: uses more that, less that.
If that is true, how to do it?
Thanks

anyone have any ideas?

Anyone facing the same issue? Install trickster MOD free from Play Store and check your One X

Which governor are you using?

TToivanen said:

Both using "ondemand", but I tried "conservative" too and the same issue. Also I tried "powersave", but both devices became so so lag that I couldn't even open any other app (about 5 seconds to scroll down a page) so I selected "ondemand" again.
The overheat was happening on the Hot One X since the Jelly Bean update, even before Root Unlock and Trickster MOD. The Trickster MOD just helped me to guess what was happening.

tried factory reset already?
Reflashing rom and kernel might help
Or a simple RESTART might help too.

Yes, I've tried factory reset 2 times with Jelly Bean.
Haven't tried to reflash the rom, I'd like to use the original rom Jelly Bean or ICS, is that possible?
Isn't there any configuration for enable/disable cpu speeds?
Restarted several times using: turn off / turn on, restart from menu, turn off / hold power button for 20 sec. (slow startup), disable fast boot and restart.
Thanks

Any more ideas?

maybe you had mods installed on the other one? i had this before the cpu wont go down 1.5hz and then it over heats

Sorry, what mods do you say?
By the way, both devices were hard reseted and were installed exactly the same apps.
Isn't there any way to enable/disable cpu speeds? I guess it should be that somehow, maybe failure applying htc rom update.

Maybe mods like changing build props etc or sound mod or mods that changes framework my suggestion flash a rom without any mods then check and see if itll fix it.

It's a stock Jelly Bean rom, original, never flashed any other ROM. It's rooted right now, but the issues appeared before root.

Maybe u can try to flash new kernel or better yet flash stock rom again see if it still like that.
