set cpu 2.0

Alright, so set cpu has been updated and it says it has a beta setting for the evo. I was reading through the comments and one of them says that setcpu is only for controlling the cpu speed from standard 1ghz and lowering. If i wanted to overclock to 1.2(I think that's the highest i've seen around) I would have to get a custom rom. So.. i have baked snack v7... is that what they are considering a custom rom? or do i have to have a supported overlcock custom rom. then i use set cpu to control the cpu speed.
?
hah thank you.

You can only overclock the CPU by using a custom kernel, and at this point in time you lose camera

How do you over clock?

Does anyone know how to over clock you're DI to say 1.2? Thanks for any help.

You first need to root your phone, then install a kernel that is compatible with whatever rom you are using, then you need to install an OCing app like SetCPU and adjust accordingly.

I'm rooted running the 2.2 RUU and I have set cpu. So do I just need a kernal? Which one?

i reccomend King Kernel bfs #4, best freaken kernel ever... its located... here

so when i install this kernal is it ok to just bump the cpu speed up to 1.2? are there any guides to do this?

A lot of factors come into play when you start overclocking, every rom will respond differently.
The first thing to do before anything is to do a complete nandroid back up.
When overclocking keep in mind that the more you overclock the more chances you have of making your system unstable.
I have experimented a quite a bit and I have found that the King Kernal #4 seems to work well for me and at 1.2 it seems to be pretty stable. Any higher than that and my phone will sometimes re-boot itself for no apparent reason.
Again, your rom may handle things different so experiment and see what works best for you.
And remember - Do a complete backup first!

I'm using the number 4 kernal and it only goes to 1.19 is this what you mean by 1.2? I have to keep mine at 1.1 ghz at 1.19 my di gets unstable

Ya that's as high as they can oc these chips. I can only get to 115 safely 119 just crashes. But the charging experience will be better than stock with the BFS #4.

Could you guys please tell me what your settings for setcpu are?
I want better battery life and a faster cpu but im noticing that my phone almost needs a wake up time when i come out of screen off.
Thanks so much

If you are experiencing slow wake up, try increasing the min cpu speed to something around 460. Better batt life and increased speed takes a lot of experimenting. Your OC speed might differ from others due to differences in the phones cpu. For example, I have never been able to oc to 1.19 without the phone freezing or rebooting. My phone can handle 1152 but 1113 is perfect. In my opinion, ROMs have something to due with best batt-speed combo. I am running Ruby 1.1.1 with a setcpu profile of Screen off=245 without any wake lag. Other ROMs I have tried had wake up lag at that speed profile.
My set up:
(ROM-ASOP) Ruby 1.1.1
King's #1 ASOP "I told you so"- only works with ASOP
With the ROM's "Gem" performance scaling setting off, I use setcpu to OC to 1113, min is 245. I have a profile set to SCREEN OFF = 384 max/245 min.
I haven't worried about battery life since I started using King's kernals (I've tried them all with every compatible ROM on xda). I have several posts elsewhere on XDA showing 12 plus hours on a single bump charge and heavy phone use. Good enough for me. Stock cpu speed plus Sense ROM seems slow to me now.....to each his own though.

I hope to get some help because i value the opinions of those on this forum. Currently i am running virtuous 2.7 with virt. kernal v2. I am rooted, s-off, 2.15.xx radio. I want performance without draining my battery. What are the best settings to use in setcpu?
I did try king's kernal #4, but it was rebooting. switched kernals this morning.

One other app I use in conjunction with SetCPU is MinFreeManager. This will readjust your free ram to a higher standard. But with SetCPU I have it at 1113/Ondemand with no custom profiles. One other thing I really don't set is the Set on Boot option. I don't know why but I do. So with SkyRaider Vanilla 3.0 RC3/ KingX Kernel #4/ and MinFreeManager my phone fly's. I can't say for certain what settings you need for your phone but 1113-1115 is preferred by "most" phones and keep the set on boot option off. I keep a Galaxy S live wallpaper running and pandora while browsing the web and no lag what-so-ever.
CyanogenMod 6.0.2 and KingX kernel #1 with the same setup runs almost as smooth.
Hope this helps you out.

No Frills CPU Control works!

So i was looking around on App Brain for some rooted apps, and came across this. Figured i would give it a shot, figured no one had tried it yet on a dinc 2. And what do you know it works, Set my clock to 1.024, of course you have to be rooted to try this app. but since there aren't a lot of kernels out there, and the one that is doesnt work well with my rom, figure i will give this a shot for a while.
Anybody try this app? Confirm this works, seems to work for me.

I have used it, but it doesn't overclock because the stock cpu clock is 1GHz, or 1024MHz. I guess it could be used to underclocking, but thats about it.

Hmm seems to run a bit better...but who knows...at least its something until i can get a working kernel.
Any little bit helps

SetCPU overclocks right? I've got mine set at 1.305 MHz, but it has no modified Kernel, so I wanted to be sure that I'm really getting 1.3 GHz out of my processor

Download a system info app. Will tell you your CPU speed
sent from an under rated phone

I use it... I love it.
It even lets you set I/O scheduler.
Also, if your phone does an "unclean" reboot, the app wont apply your setting on next boot.

Setcpu will not overclock unless you have an oc kernal. You must be using a non-stock one.

This app will give you your CPU stats so you can test, so you can underclock or overclock. Depending on what you want.

[Q] Best kernel for MIUI

I am currently using MIUI 1.7.29 Osimood with the Tiamat 1.04 kernel, and I am wondering what the best kernel is for battery life. I am also using the V6 supercharger ram script. I am running my CPU at 960mHz at the moment, using the smartass governer. I also undervolted using vipermod, 960MHz at 950mV.
My choice consists of the latest Pershoot, UmaroKernel 1.06 or Tiamat 1.04
What differences would I see between those kernels, are they noticeable for a regular user?

Sorry man, but wehre do you find the vipermod for desire z? http://vipermod.tiamat-dev.com/faq.php it's not compatibile with desire z/g2....

Uh...what's wrong with the kernel it comes with? Can OC to 1.5GHz stock ya know. Battery life is great with it too. People always want to flash something weather it be a radio or a kernel.

damn straight,
1) pershoot is a sense kernel? (i am proabably wrong but i have never tried this kernel)
2) umaro kernel i found had issues with wifi, high underclock freq (leading to poorer battery life), but fun if you have the time to tweak voltages and fast!
3) tiamat kernel i found had issues with sleep of death/random reboots on wakeup couldnt test it past that. (setcpu was set to screen off was: conservative 125min -345 max and would still crash)
if you are up for another kernel, i am now using this kernel (streamline5)
no voltage tweaking (pretweaked) but it has good batt, speedy and stable cant ask for much

Pershoot is actually for non-sense roms. The downfall people have with it is lack of governors. Some don't mind, some want variety. I've had great experiences with Pershoot's kernel and it's the baseline that all others are compared to (not to mention the foundation of almost ALL G2/DZ kernels).
Umaro's just needs to have voltage tweaks done manually but on the plus side - keeping the voltages normal (not UV) allows some people to reach higher OC speeds. It keeps the processor from bottoming out due to insufficient voltage which can easily happen when you UV. The main issue is with the Greased lightening governor - it's new and still a bit buggy.
Tiamat 1.0.4 is outstanding. I can sit all day at 2+ GHz (not literally, see: Chernobyl). I personally have an issue with the interactive governor but other than that it's my favorite kernel (Umaro may take that soon, once greased lightening is perfected).
Basically you just need to try out a few and see which you like. There is no 'best'. Most kernels will work with any ROM (Sense being the only exception).

Bumping a thread that is relevant to my interests.
It's about time for me to jump ship from an outdated CM ROM and try something new like a MIUI ROM.
With that said, I'd like to read more opinions & experiences from people using the various Kernels AND how the latest radio (the one released today) is working for them. I'm just trying to get the optimal experience here
Speaking of MIUI would anyone mind telling me some differences between OsiMood's ROM compared to the official MIUI-US ROM (or even DarkSpadez ROM)?
Thanks a ton guys!

I downloaded the official rom . . .then ignored it downloaded osimood and iv been using it since. Osimood is a lighter rom, which is always a good thing, unwanted languages etc are removed for a smaller faster rom. Also he preinstalls tweaks like an adblocker and extended settings mod.
Kernal wise iv been looking for the same info as you but couldn't find it. So I eneded up trying them all:
- Eugenes streamline5 is a nice kernal, preundervolted. Only probly is its not being updated so will become redundant.
-Tiamats kernal allows over clock to 2ghz and seems to support higher overclocks stably where other kernals can't. Except battery life has decreased with recent kernals
-Umarokernal this is the kernal iv come back to twice and am still on. It allows overclock to 1.9ghz and is kept updated by umaro. Performance per frequency seems as good if not better than most and osimoods miui runs smooth with this kernal on 800ghz with scarey governer (which saves battery) Another plus for me with this kernal is the scarey governer which for me definatly provides the best performance per battery ratio.

I'm currently running MIUI 1.8.5 with Eugene-Streamline 5 Kernel with the latest radio update Vision_Radio_12.57.60.25_26.10.04.12.
SetCPU with Governor ondemand provides me with better usage, power and responsive time then Smartass or Interactive.
OC to 1.2ghz
Battery life, about 30hrs with the regular 1350mah.

How do you get the virtuos o/c daemon?

Its basically like an automatic setcpu (which can't be changed on the fly) built into the rom, its in virtuous unity roms

What sleep profiles are you guys usein. I seem to have rebooting issues with any kernel I try unless I go to a sense rom. I've tried the vipermod now to see how it goes
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

But how do you get the virtuos O/C daemon to work on MIUI?

You can download it threw rom manager. Even with that kernel I get reboot issues. I assume its cause system ram isn't being cleard fast enough. I'm gonna try 100mv increase to see if there's a difference.

Overclocking Instability

Hey I just bought a 32 GB Gnex and got it yesterday but it seems to be unstable at anything above the stock max frequency of 1230 MHz. I've tried Paranoid Android and last night's CM10 nightly and they would both freeze and immediately reboot upon setting it to 1305 MHz. I then flashed the Zen kernel on top of CM10 and I like that it can go up to 1.8 GHz but whenever I set anything beyond 1.23 GHz it starts to lag for about 1-3 seconds. When I knock it back down to 1.23 GHz everything is fine again.
This is the first OMAP device I have since I had the OG Droid back in 09, I loved how they were extremely overclockable and I'm going to be pretty sad if mine has to stay at stock speeds. I've tried using JRummy's ROM Toolbox Pro and the built in Performance settings to try and set the frequencies but it doesn't seem to make a difference on which one I use. I've been using the OnDemand and Interactive(x) Governors.
Is this a known problem or am I alone on this?

some CPUs have a higher tolerance than others for overclocking. looks like you got one of the super low tolerance ones.

I hope that's not the case :-/

you need to disable smart reflex mpu if you want to overclock. smart reflex doesnt know overclocking, so it sets your voltages to low for an overclocked cpu. thus, instant instability.
to disable smart reflex manually, use a terminal emulator. type su(press enter) then type these 3 lines and press enter after each..
*
echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_mpu/autocomp
0 to disable, 1 to enable.
btw, some cpu control apps give you options to disable/enable smart reflex.

What three lines? I only see one...
I echo'd a value of "0" to the file but it was still unstable at 1.8 GHz, haven't tried lower frequencies yet, I don't have to reboot after setting the value, correct?
edit: still unstable at 1.42 GHz, also what apps would those be that allow this? Antutu CPU Master Pro only has an option to disable PerfLock.

the way to overclock is to keep moving in small increments upward and burn testing them to check for stability. Don't go straight for a 50% overclock. move up and find your threashold, and when you do start tweaking to see if you can slowly creep beyond that

The 3 lines would be:
Code:
echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_mpu/autocomp
echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_core/autocomp
echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_iva/autocomp
Frankly, though, don't expect 1.8GHz to be stable.

Your particular device's components might not hold it together with that oc.

Yea I know (I used to OC the CPU on my PC), I just wanted to go for something big to see if it could handle it.
Edit: seems to be stable at 1.4 GHz, I'm going to keep increasing it to see what the limit is. I'm assuming i'd have to turn off smartreflex on each boot so I should probably put it in a script in /etc/init.d correct?

the trinity kernel toolbox lets you disable/enable smart reflex. plus, extremely few gnex will oc to 1.8ghz. and on top of that, to oc even to 1.4 or 1.5ghz, youll need to adjust your voltages to get yourself stable. every device likes different voltages.

I had it stable at 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and told my GF that I could OC it now (because I told her before that I didn't think I could) ...and then it froze rock solid lol

i can oc my gnex(using trinity kernel) to 1.803ghz.. but to use stable for every day, 1.689ghz is a good speed for my device. a majority of devices wont even oc that high and stable. stable being the key word.

I'd find it surprising that you got 4 different overclock levels stable in 30 minutes. There's a difference between "it boots", "it boots and runs some apps", and "stable".

I'm running the 11/4 build of Paranoid Android with v3.0.51-ZenSeries v4 Tuna and I having problems setting CPU frequencies via Trinity Kernel Toolbox. The frequency will stick until I switch to another app, then when I come back to the app it will be at the stock max frequency. I am also unable to use the built in frequency tuner when using TKT.
I've tried stress testing it with stability test and even when the frequencies will stick in TKT (ex. 1.4 GHz) Stability Test will report that its at 1.1 GHz. WTF is going on here? I have all three of the smart reflex values disabled.

dont use PA cpu settings. do you have any other cpu control apps installed? make sure theres nothing enabled in PA cpu settings, nothing. then reboot. wait 2-3 after bootup then open tkt and try using it. is the problem still there?

It seems to be sticking now for the moment, but I haven't had anything in PA CPU settings before I rebooted anyway. I do not have any other CPU OC apps installed either. Stability test is reporting the correct frequency also. Thanks.

if you were checking before 3 minutes after bootup, then that was the issue. whatever it was, lets hope it doesnt come back.

I was setting the values after the phone had been up for hours, idk what the problem was :-\q
