[Q] overclocking help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i know the kernel desgnates the amount you can overclock and set cpu does it and all that, but is there only so much a particular rom can take? for example i ran netarchy 4.1.8 on my evio 1.1, and i can overclock up to 1.276, but even if i accidentally put it all the way up there, the phone freezes or resets, is it because the rom cant handle it, or just too much for the phone itself?

Too much for your phone. Some can get up thereband some can't. Mine handles 1228800 just fine. Anything higher it freezes..

SetCPU and screen not turning on...

Now I am not blaming the app I am just wondering... everynow and then, when I wake my phone up, it doesn't want to wake up or when I turn it on and try to unlock it freezes... was wondering if anyone else was getting the same thing.

SetCPU issues
I have been having the same issues myself. Mine was set low to 100min/max: screen off just as a test today and it did that to me a on a few seperate occasions. Not sure why, just ended up battery pulling after 10-15 seconds of no response from the phone.
The cpu is set too low on screen off, go for 245 or so
setcpu does not play nice with r phones. i had problems witth it on every kernal i played with. right now im using the mix up kernal. i used setcpu to 1.2ghz max and 100mhz min. conservative governore. i have yet to find a set up to use while the screen is locked with no issues. what i do know is galaxy s phones only like the conservative setting. maybe a 400mhz max 100mhz min with conservastive governore would work?
Make sure setcpu is set to conservative. I set my lowest to 200mhz and max at 1200. No issues here other than sometimes the notification pull down bar is laggy but it does that stock anyway.

There's a kernal that allows you to hit 1.4ghz its the overclocked one from baked snacks

The rom don't control the cpu speeds. The kernal does. You cab run any rom kernal combo you would like. In order to hit the 1.4ghz you want you need to run a kernal that is capable of doing so

Is SetCPU really necessary anymore? If you run a kernel that's not locked into performance mode it will scale on it's own even without SetCPU. I haven't installed it on my Epic yet and when monitoring the phone with SystemPanel I see my CPU go down to 200mhz when idle and scale up when processes are running.
Where is the kernel for 1.4? I have baked snack rom max is 1.2 i know kernel is the part that "controlls" speed but I'm stuck. Any help

Set cpu with stock kernel droid incredible

I just rooted my incredible and I'm using the kernel that came with it stock. I disabled perflock and I left the max speed to 998 and the min speed to 245.
When I'm not doing anything on my incredible, I see that the speed constantly changes from the max to the min. Not even one second passes before it just goes back and forth, back and forth. Is this normal?
Coming from the d1 where it would stay at the min when idle, I'm not sure if what's going on with my incredible is normal.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yes that's normal. For better battery life, I'd try a kernel with smartass governor. It spends more time on the lower frequencies.

Switching to a different kernel will give you the ability to overlook//underfoot the system needed.. this in turn increases battery life.. kingklick, ziggy's, chad's kernel are all well known kernels.. you will want to play with different kernels.. not every kernel will be stable to overlook to certain speeds on certain Rom's.. switching kernels is almost as addictive as switching roms.. always nandroid before flashing anything..

Yea! By stock i'm assuming all you did was root. I am currently running SkyRaider 3.5 Sense along with

I will edit with links to these two items.

Chad's Kernel - Incredikernel
My phone runs amazingly fast with sense but yet, even with heavy usage (Texting constantly, on the internet, gmail, even Fring) I can go an easy 24 hours on one charge. If my phone stays screen-off idle I could last at 95%-100% for several hours.
Yes, all I did was root.
Does the chad kernel provide wireless tether and will i still need to disable perflock in setcpu?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the non stock kernels all disable perflock already, you do not need to do it..
flash the kernel via clockwork, and you are set.. jump into setcpu and adjust some settings and add profiles.. you'll be golden..

Not quite. I believe Lou's has some tweaks within perflock, so disabling it would lose those.
And most kernel devs, particularly Lou and the ones who use HAVS, advise against using SetCPU. I'd check with your chosen kernel thread for details.

Also, I wouldn't 'set on boot', at least till you find frequencies that your phone can handle safely. Otherwise, you'll get a 'crash' loop, where your phone starts up just fine, but once you go past the initial lockscreen it'll crash and reboot. Very annoying...

what rager said... ive put on kernels and ran em high only to get a "boot loop".. its tuff to get out of cause you need to get back into setcpu to scale back otherwise it keep on going.... i learned to put the setcpu app icon on my main screen so i can get there fast to scale back..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866736 can you install these with the stock rom. i wanted to experiment to get better battery life but didnt really want to install a different one.

Yeah, if you let it boot loop too long it'll hard boot, which is where the phone cuts off completely. That has happened to me, and it ruins apps.

I dont think I quite understand your situation, are you rooted or not, according to this post you say you are stock besides "peraroot (I think you meant permroot)and the kernel" , so meaning you are rooted (s-off)??. Anyways if you are rooted why are you using gscript to OC with? And if your on a custom kernel why not use setcpu or something similar.
If your not rooted (s-on) then I think I remember when using the gsript files that 1.4 and over was unstable, if you want something a little higher than 1ghz use something like word pad to change the value in the script you are pushing for the oc to go to 1.1ghz or 1.2ghz etc..

From my experience, not all processors are created equal... Some just handle the higher frequencies better than others do.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Yes I'm permarooted. S-off. I'm useing gscript because that's what was done in the video. I have setcpu and use it but with out a overclock program I can only raise it to 806MGz and with oc. I can raise it to 1017MGz. If that's as high as I can go then I guess I just have to deal with that.

As someone said earlier, I think you are using the old, unstable method. I highly recommend u updating to a ROM with OC embedded into the kernel.
It is also true that "not all processors are created equally" but this is the only case I have read with it freezing at 1.4.

I have the same problem ,i am running virtouos ROM with evil 12/10 and if i over-clock anything over 1094mhz my phone freezes the the only way that i can manage more than that is if i set it to performance scaling with no profile and there is no point on doing that because it eats the battery .its only good for benchmarking ,i think your problem is same is me, you have been unlucky with your CPU .i am just hoping its going to be different when gingerbread come out.

Have you given CM6.1 a go just to compare if you can clock higher using a different ROM?
If you are indeed using the gscript method then this has been explained many times! there's a whole giant humungo thread about that hack when it initially came out.
the reason your phone's freezing is because you're asking it to clock faster, but you arent giving it more juice to offset the additional work it's conducting..hence the freeze. that old hack (while it was awesome at the time) is very outdated and has been surpassed by actual performance kernels.
It's all in the thread. you wouldnt put low octane in a sports car would you? same principle lol

Synergy and SetCPU

Just wondering if anyone is running setcpu with Synergy and what there setting are. I have never used this app before and am having a hard time finding out how to use it. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I have it and they say the best thing to do is leave the main screen alone but make one profile. "screen off" set it to the lowest on both maximum and the minimum, and the % to 100.

What causes random reboot in every rom?

I wonder wat causes all the random reboot,is it got to do with undervolt,overvolt,CPU speed and minfree value?

..overvolt?
Anyway undervolting and CPU speed can definitely cause reboots. Some phones can't go beyond 1.2GHz and I know undervolting can cause instability when brought down too low.
Personally I haven't had a random reboot in as long as I can remember, but I also don't undervolt and I don't OC past 1.2GHz.
Well,I'm using sense rom in the moment,enabled swap and supercharge.. and oc it at 468-1458mhz.. =\ still reboot,does vm heapsize affect rebooting?

My phone's upper limit is also at 1.4GHz, runs stable on it, but haven't really felt the need for that. One thing that comes to mind is that your lower limit is pretty high. What governor do you use? Do you have a profile for screen off and what's the frequency fork there?
I would assume that with that setup the phone gets pretty heated, which could very easily cause random reboots. Any idea what temperature it usually runs on?

Maybe you should try lowering the upper limit to 1.2GHz for a while see if it makes any change... in the meantime it might be helpful to know:
a) Which specific rom are you using?
b) Any custom kernel?
