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.

SetCPU

currently i have setCPU running on my rooted Dinc with several profiles set.........my question is what is the optimum settings for:
Sampling Rate
Up threshold
ignore Nice load
Powersave bias
mine currently are 40000,70,0,0
i'm trying to find a good setting for best battery life b/c i'm constitenly on my phone all day!!!
thanks for any input.....

What kernal r u running? Several recommend no profiles, and oc will run the battery down.

i'm just running stock kernal, i'm not comfortable enough with the phone yet to changed kernals........i just setting a default profile so the phone would run 384 on the low end and 786 on high end but when i check system panel it shows the cpu still running up to the max, so i don't know whats going on and if there is anything i need to do to fix it.

do you have "set at boot" checked?

yea i did, i read somewhere on here that the "perflock" has to be disabled when using a stock kernal and running froyo, any truth to that ??? and a friend of mine has an incredible and he told me that these mods really don't make that much of a difference, now he's a verizon sales rep so he may be telling me that so i don't change my phone too much

generally speaking there are two types of people who are employees for phone companies:
A) someone who just wants a paycheck
B) geeks like us who like to hack and mod and tinker
A will tell you that hacking will void warranty, blah blah blah....mostly because they don't know much about what stuff is. B will tell you what they know, and admit when they don't know something.
it sounds like your friend is falling into the A category, especially if they're saying "mods don't change much". they change quite a bit, so be careful.
as far as your question in the OP, with my eris i would just mess with stuff, and see how the phone runs. don't save to run at boot until you know it's stable and will not crash or freeze your phone. adjust settings, and see how it responds, repeat as necessary.

where can i get that kernel ??

Yes you have to disable perflock.
I only adjusted my power bias to 650 I think which is 65%. 1000 being 100% and 10 being 1%. All this does is make sure you cpu stays on the lower end of the usage. I have a 2150 and stream pandora a lot and always have 3g running, I go online and everything and I get 2 days of usage with a down clock and some profiles.

[q] want a rom with overclock built in...

Can anyone tell me the best rom that comes with an overclocked kernal built in? Looking for a kernal that has killer battery life also. I've been looking but i'm new to the dinc and am not sure what the best one is. I tried to install a custom ziggy kernal with incredibly re-engineered installed but it started rebooting every time it started up... Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Did you read everything before flashing ziggy's kernel? this is quoted from his site. did you have setcpu installed before you flashed?
NOTE1: If you’re having problems, please uninstall/disable SetCPU and any init scripts first. A lot of the issues are OC related. If everything works fine after doing that, slowly start over-clocking, if not, please post. Once the problem speed is found, report it, but most likely, it’s a voltage issue, not all phones/processors are equal. Since these kernels have snq-’s VDD sysfs interface, you can modify the VDD levels yourself. If there are any Java developers that would like to tackle the task of writing a program to assist, please do, I’ll help as much as I can

oh and make sure you dl the right kernel its the bottom 2 on his page. i made that mistake earlier today. tryed loading a bravo kernel and my phone got stuck in the splash screen

Incredibly re-engineered comes with Lou's #8 kernel, which is my understanding that it already has pre-configured screen off speeds, governor etc. It could be as simple as a wipe cache/dalvik that would solve your problem.
Other than that, i'm curious as to why you are looking into OC when you want killer battery? Those don't go together

Ok. I missed the setcpu statement. Ill try that... and I want to oc because this inc wont play the only game I play worth a crap compared to my old x... homerun battle 3d... im hoping that will help...

hmmm homerun battle 3d plays fine on my end. Check my sig for my rom and kernel, stock speeds.

chads incredikernel is probably the best for gaming, its oc-able..i actually run it some days on 1075 mhz performance, and get great batt life

[Q] overclock issue

I'm using the virus rom airborne rc6 and the netarchy 4.3.4 kernel. I went to the app market and downloaded the overclock widget since I had used it on another evo. Whenever I set it up or go to set it up I should say the phone locks up and requires a battery pull. Start the phone back up and it freezes again on the lock screen not allowing you to use it. A restore or wipe is required. I was thinking it was the Rom or kernel so I downloaded valpeak Rom and a kernel and it did the same thing on it. Just wondering if anyone had heard seen or experienced something like this before ? Is there another over clock program that's good and stable ?
Thanks in advance

You need to clock it at a lower maximum speed. Some chips can't handle overclocking as well as other chips can. My phone can only be overclocked to like 1.1, and anything over that, I have the same issues you are explaining. Set the maximum speed a little lower and see if that helps.

That's just it when I try to set it up it freezes. I contacted the developer of the app and they said its on my end. I used the valpak before and could clock to 1.2 I'm wondering if there isnt something wrong with the kernels lime maybe they did a software update on the app and it doesn't agree with Rom or kernel. I've heard good things about set cpu I may try it. Thanks for your help

Yeah I know what you mean, you just gotta hurry and get into the app and lower the max speed before the app gets superuser permission and freezes again. Or if you have the SDK on your pc and know how to use adb, you could remove the app from the phone while connected to a pc in recovery. Also, I use setCPU, and I've had nothing but good experiences with it. I've never used Overclock widget so I can say anything about it.

try flashing a different kernel its happened to me before and thats what i had to do then i changed the max and flashed back to the other kernel

Thats how i fixed it. I ended up using the computer to remove the app and used setcpu. I normally dont care about the over clocking ability but the battery life sucks on the virus Rom. The roms great just crappy battery life. Thankfully that worked we will see if by underclocking it helps if not ill have to look for a different Rom. Thanks for your help man.

lock ups

In the past week have just rooted my inc2, flashed OMGB rom and Tiamat 1.1.0 kernel. I also loaded SetCPU from the market. I can't go over 1.036ghz without the phone locking up and having to do a battery pull. When the phone is back on I only have a few seconds to open SetCPU and lower the OC rate or the phone will lock again. I wiped cache/davlik cache before flashing kernel. What am I doing wrong? I have seen in the Tiamat thread in the development forum that people are going as high as 1.9ghz with out a problem. I would only like to get 1.2ghz to 1.3ghz because I read that this is a safe range. I do have have the governor set at Smartass. Thank you for your input.

Go back to the kernel thread look for the voltage table. The voltage levels are too low at the overclock levels, that what's causing your freeze ups. Use incredicontrol app from the market to adjust the voltage levels. You want to mirror the settings to match those of the previous version of the kernel

Thanks tnez, I found chads post about incredicontrol and sounded like it only worked on ver 1.0.4, will it work on ver 1.1.0 also.
How bad is this freezing for the phone? If I ever get really stuck will booting into recovery and reflashing omgb fix it or using the nandroid backup I created before flashing the kernel? Still new to all the rooting and custom roms and kernels, lots of fun but still have the fear of bricking the phone.

I'm fairly new myself but have been using SetCPU for a while. Make sure the "Set on Boot" option is unchecked until you find a setting that will work for your phone. As far as the nandroid, restore is your friend!! lol I've made many mistakes in the past that have totally locked up my phone and the restore option from recovery has saved me every time. There is always a chance that you can damage your phone but as time has gone by the devs have really made that possibility minimal

The app works on any kernel that supports adjustable voltages.
Both methods will work to undo things. Either restore or re flash the rom. But like stated above don't select the set on boot option until you find settings that work good on your phone.

Thanks again tnez, I installed incredicontrol and made the changes to the voltages so far so good. I have gone to 1.19ghz with no problems after the voltage changes. Is there app that can be used to test for stability or is just using the phone the way to test for stability.

You can do it by use....open up different apps very quick and switch between them...basically trying to over load the phone by making it multi task at a high level. set cpu also has a built in stress test under the info tab, run that for a few mins. I usually do the stress test for 3-5 mins followed by a quadrant test.

In regards to Tiamat, there have been a ton of people say that downgrading back to 1.0.4 Tiamat fixed the issue of the phone locking up when overclocked. If all else fails from what you have been recommended, try that!

voltages just need to be changed and made to match 1.0.4 for the kernel to run like a champ
