Post your daily driver meaning full functionality - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the oppurtunity to pit a stock evo(my wife's) vs my rooted Fresh 1.0.1, Samdroid Frozen Eclair with jit, Netarchy 3.7.2b, and setcpu.
The test- Stock evo 998mhz vs My Evo Setcpu 245 -537mhz on demand
Mflops- Stock 5.1 My Evo 10.2
Quandrant - Stock 419 My Evo 462
NenaMark - Stock 10.2fps My Evo 11.8fps
Neocore- Stock 24.6 My Evo 25.3
Until Froyo is out this is my everyday driver(Daily Driver meaning full phone functionality 4g, voicemail, everything) is set as above with setcpu @245mhz - 537mhz on demand. I do this to lessen battery drain. For me it has been the best performance/conservation setup to date on this site. Everything runs smoothly from hd videos converted with handbrake to internet surfing. For me experiencing no tearing and still getting 54fps although less cpu gives a higher stdev. If I need more power I run 998mhz or overclock to 1125mhz.
Scores @ 1152mhz
Mflops 21.27
Quandrant 863
Nenamark 15.6
Neocore 27.5
Thanks for reading Now what you got??? lol

Fresh on Frozen Eclair 537mhz 10 mflops - 1125mhz 21 mflops

Just a general question. Fresh, dc, stock, or baked with even overclock highest mflops i got were 9 mflops. So I added Frozen Eclair JIT to Fresh and was able to get 21 mflops @ 1125mhz. I have balanced my phone now for battery life and performance. I am at 537mhz which is giving me 10mflops and 55 fps on netarchy kernel 3.7.1. My question, Is my phone faster @ 537mhz with jit than stock @ 998mhz? I believe that the higher the mflop the faster the phone right?
mflops, is millions of floating point operations. therefore more is better.
This is a VERY interesting question. I kind of doubt that it will receive a good answer, though. I don't know what the answer is.
I would assume that processor speed is king. But if a lower processor speed gets you higher Mflops than, say, my phone than I guess that Mflops are king. I don't know why that would be that way, though.
SWEET I'll take 10mflops @ 537mhz because everything runs flawlessly internet, streaming video, and phone. When I need to game I can turn up the processor to 998 or 1125 and get 17 to 21 mflops. Thanks. My daily driver for now will be 537mhz. More battery life and more power than 2.1 android.

[Q] Linpack scores

Hello, I was just wondering what scores you guys tend to be getting in linpack. I am trying to figure out the fastest set up for my phone. I am currently getting 2.55 with "not so super froyo" with the 10-12-2010 kernel and my phone overclocked to 520 Mhz with the GPU overclocked as well. I also have a lot of widgets open, I am confident I could hit a solid 3 if they were not open.
I've been doing quite a bit of testing with different builds so I usually don't use a lot of widgets. With no OC I usually hit 2.6 in Linpack. OC'd to 500Mhz it is around 3.3.....
I have changed the goals of this thread... I think we should now have a benchmark of everyone's scores that way we know what is slowing them down or making them faster.
Also... for some reason I do not believe I should be almost a full Mflop slower than you when I have more of an overclock so something is definately up with my phone. Maybe with this thread I can find out what is.
I haven't noticed much change between kernel releases. My phone with no OC has consistently got 2.6-2.7 on any of the .32 kernels and fresh froyo releases (2.2 and 2.2.1)
hi
yesterday i did the benchmarking
I have hit 3.95
I'm using the latest kernal .32
overclocked via Rogue Tolls to 561 MHZ
confused...
interesting results for me are (should say yoda)
if i use stock speeds i got 1.7, with 450 got 2.0-1.9 beyond this the score keeps gettin lower and lower till linpack FC when i reach the 550... so i guess i should stick to 450mhz with donut and .25 kernel, wonder if newer kerlens can get me to ur amazing results.
How are you overclocked? CPU through kernel has some pretty funky results. Also it's more unstable that way.
Nope, i use rogue tools only, and yes using atools to oc its not a good idea, i guess its because rogue tools oc the system AFTER the fs has been mounted, instead of ocing it from beggining like atools does, and with kernel .32 having this mounting issues i guess isnt too smart to rush it even more!

[Q] Over/Down Clocking Limits Epic 4G

Hey all. I'm using Xtreme Kernel and SetCPU and I'm wondering what are decent limits to downclocking and overclocking the processor. 1.3 GHZ is the SetCPUs max, but I feel 100MHZ would be too low to downclock to. would 300-400 MHZ be a good downclock limit? Specifically for low battery life profiles?
I shoot for 200-300mhz at the low end if I am running > 1ghz
Phone runs flawlessly with 200 at the low end. 100 causes too many problems.
Are you using a stock kernel to overclock or underclock or a custom kernel?
I was uable to find kernels for this phone.
Are there any?
Thanks
There were several different custom kernels for 2.1.
Can you name a few of the best ones and are there any for 2,2
Xtreme Kernel its the kernel I'm using. I many by limit as in high end limit. I ended up just trying it and 400 mhz is useable for low battery profiles.

How far can you push your defy?

As the title says whats the max o/c can you get out of your defy?
Im on standard 2.1 and can get 1300mhz @ 80vesl and get 1388 in quadrant.
So if your a o/c nutter and try an get the max out of everything tell us what ya can get!

I got 14xx (no trick) with 1000 @ 50 and 16xx (no trick) with 1200 @ 62 on finland 2.2.
For how long and how hot did your Defy get?
it ran for about an hour at 1350, and the max temprature was 39°C as i recall. based on abc's results, that jit in 2.2 is a big performance hit, looking forward to the official update

i got 1589 with 60/1200
Can running such high frequencies and vsels regularly damage the CPU? I'm kind of scared of toasting it, so i stopped at 1100/60 (scaled with setvsel)

i dont think so... did the stability test for around 15 minutes and the temp stays at 38 C
60/1200 with threshold at 80%, everything is so smooth

Hmm, i know have it at 62/1200, with threshold at 60%. 80% makes it feel a little laggy.
Hopefully the processor will last the life of the phone at these settings!

Voltage and overclocking on blazer 2.0

Hi i was wondering if anyone had some good voltages to undervolt the blazer 2.0 rom. What apps did you have success with and what voltages at what speeds? Also some ideas for blazer 2.0 rom with desperado kernel. Either or both would be great
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Anyone help me with these dang voltages lol. I tried tegrak and setcpu and i tried just tegrak on the stock kernel that comes with the blazer 2.0 ROM. After little success i switched to desperado and tried the same methods and even gave voltage control a try. My only problem is anything over 1.4g i freeze up and reset regardless of now high i overvolt the speeds. I'm looking to run 1.6g smoothly and maybe even get some ideas from you guys on undervolting the lower speeds
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Under/Over
I've been looking at the same thing.
For undervolting, I'm starting with -75mV across the board to run for a day or two to evaluate improved battery life.
HondaCop reported success with -100mV across the board with Tegrak:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18259820&postcount=105
Suggestions from that thread include:
a) leave internal voltages alone
b) let the 300 sec "stability watch" finish before testing
c) don't set to apply at boot until you've run long enough to ensure stability
d) 1.6-1.65Mhz is likely the performance ceiling on our devices
e) run 'CF-Bench' as part of stability testing
Some settings I'm testing this AM:
1504Mhz @ 1375mV (then 1275mV)
1600Mhz @ 1375mV (then 1350mV)
1652Mhz @ 1450mV
1700Mhz @ 1500mV (then 1450mV)
I'm keeping a log to share results on the aforementioned thread.
Good luck!
That is wonderful advice! Thanks so much

Test Results
Glad to be of help!
Here are my test results; as they say YMMV.
Methodology
o used the same governor for each test (ondemand)
o tested with Quandrant, then Linpack, then CF-Bench
o tested with battery cover removed for physical CPU heat check
o gave ~min between benchmark tools
o used phone to update an app, pull up a page, watch a vid, etc
o re-ran benchmarks to confirm consistent results & stability
Config
Baseband/modem EL13 (big up Calkulin)
Kernel 2.6.37-7-SPH-D710.EL13-CL806382 (chris41g via sfhub auto root, danke!)
ROM/Build GB.EK02 (via OFA update)
Tegrak Overclock Ultimate 0.8.4.5 / driver 2.2.0.2
Tested Successfully
1452Mhz @ 1350mV
1452Mhz @ 1300mV : Quadrant 4741, LP 112, CF-B 13636/3910/7800
1500Mhz @ 1375mV
1500Mhz @ 1350mV : Quadrant 4888, Linpack 117, CF-B 13852/4045/7967
1560Mhz @ 1400mV : benchmarks falling off..
1560Mhz @ 1375mV : and going back up?! (nominal heat)
Tested Unsuccessfully
1700Mhz @ 1500mV : immediate freeze
1652Mhz @ 1450mV : froze in Linpack
1608Mhz @ 1425mV : Quadrant FC, froze during Linpack
1608Mhz @ 1400mV : Quadrant looked epic (5180), froze during Linpack
1600Mhz @ 1375mV : Quadrant > 4800, Linpack 120, froze during CF-B
1592Mhz @ 1375mV : Quadrant = 4988, froze during multiple Linpack runs
1564Mhz @ 1350mV
1504Mhz @ 1300mV
1500Mhz @ 1325mV : reboot during CF-B
Observations
There is a V sweet spot for each CPU speed.
Others have reported being able to go up to 1.7Ghz whereas my phone begins to become unstable ~1.6Ghz.
1.5Ghz appears all day long stable on my phone with minimal heat (mean of 4874 from three Quadrant runs, Linpack regularly >110, consistent CF-B results as noted above).
Next to Try
o put into airplane mode
o use the 'performance' governor and set the min = max for benchmark testing (with attention given to CPU temp!)
I set all the slower speeds at -75mV with the max at 1.5Ghz @ 1350mV. I'll report back after a couple days to see what battery life and long-term stability look like.
OK sounds good!
