[Q] CPU speed SyndicateROM Frozen 1.10 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

II'm very new to xda but i successfully flashed SyndicateROM frozen 1.10 and wanted to know what setting i should be placing in setCPU to achieve the advertised overclocked 1.3gHz and undervolted at 1.0gHz, i've read min:200, idle:800, and max:1000-1300. Anyway I appreciate the help and thanks to all of you hard at work in the Android dev community!

You'll get the undervolted 1ghz by default. If you want 1.3ghz, use it as the max.

so if i understand correctly, if i overclock it to 1.3ghz i will be undervolted at 1ghz, so as far as battery life goes, will overclocking it to 1.3ghz give me battery life of the stock 1.0ghz? Sorry for the possibly erroneous questions lol

No. You will see less battery life at 1.3ghz. If you want battery life, don't even bother with SetCPU.

Set min 100, max 1.3ghz ondemand governor. 1ghz is uv automatically when it runs at that, but with 1.3 as your max it may not spend much time in 1.0. If your concerned with battery (UV) then min 100, max 1000 might be what you want. I've been running that and I seriously cannot come up with a single speed complaint. K0 and team have done an amazing job with this thing.

Regard overclocking to 1.8 ghz

Hi, im just about to flash leedroids 2.2.3 rom, which can oc to 1.8 ghz with setcpu, just wondering if there are any dangers in having it at this speed? anything to be aware of ?
It might fry your device, it might not, you never know. There's no need to run it at 1,8ghz. I'd recommend max 1,2ghz for daily use though everything runs smoot at 1ghz already.
If you overclock to 1.8Ghz you will increase the risks to fry your CPU(and hence, your device will be destroyed). Lol.
Also overclocking too high can drain your battery real fast. As per Hawks556, max 1.2Ghz would be fine.(perhaps it is almost to optimal)
I overclock mine at 1.16Ghz and it is already very smooth in LeeDrOid.
You may sometimes wish to overclock it until 1.8GHz is just to show off to your peers only. Maybe through quadrants. But later on make sure you underclock it back.
Cheers. =)
thanks for the help, lol whole thing just froze while i was reading it better underclock it lol : /
OC up to 1.5ghz should not harm your device.
Take a look at ths HTC Flyer: it has the same CPU as the DHD but it's set to 1.5ghz by default.
So there is no risk in overclocking up to 1.5ghz in my opinion.

overclocking dhd

I have recently rooted my dhd and currently running CM7. Using the cpu setting within the performance menu I am wondering what peoples thoughts are on a noticeable but safe increase of cpu speed. its set as 1017MHz which i believe is default. I am told I can run anything up to 1500 safely. can anyone confirm this and also tell me what kind of result (performance and battery life) i should expect.
thanks
Well, I use Android Revolution HD (a sense rom, meaning heavy UI!) and i overclock to about 1.3GHz. In terms of battery life when it's awake, it seems a drain a teeny bit more readily, but I've never had a freeze on sense (quite rare)
On stock it underclocks to let the processor max at around 400MHz when the screens off, so that helps to really save a lot of battery on standby. On CM, I'd expect it'd feel more or less the same in terms of performance after you hit 1.2/1.3GHz

thanks for the reply mate. going to try out revolution HD soon i think. have you overclocked using a third party app or is there one built into that rom?
also im a little confused by the governors. 'on demand' is the default governor. Does that mean it will only use the max selected cpu speed when necessary? would you recommend using a difference setting?
cheers

The CPU is managed by the ROM itself. You can tweak it yourself by using setCPU (or similar), but I can advise you not to. Can't help you with the governors buddy, since I dunno what it is

Lucky you picked a linuxhead!
The system itself has a daemon (background process built into the system) that handles overclocking. It's all explained on the page and also on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14638641&postcount=34279
You can use another app (like SetCPU) but the daemon usually handles screen off's quicker. The governors basically determine how the processor frequency is changed. I'll explain the common ones:
Performance - Runs at highest speed, so if you have a range of 200 to 1.3G, it'll stay at 1.3G all the time, not usually the best
Ondemand - The universal default for phone overclocking, it only changes the speed up after a certain percentage of the CPU is used, and it switches on the fly, so if the CPU is used too much at 400MHz, it'll ramp it up to maybe 600 or 800, and if it's still overused, it'll put it up to maybe 1 or 1.2G
Conservative - This is like ondemand, except it makes the changes more gradual. It can give noticable lags in the foreground at times, so this is mainly used when the phone is asleep (screen off)
Smartass - This governor is like ondemand, except it'll less readily switch frequencies to higher values when it detects the screen off. This isn't really used because the overclocking daemons take into account the phone being awake or not
Basically, there isn't really a need to change governors, only really frequencies if anything. The thread, however, does tell you how to change governors.
Im using latest LeeDroid GB 3.2.1 and to be honest with the work he's done with the Kernal (3.1.8BFS) I have found that the ROM is a lot MORE responsive without me overclocking the CPU.
Im not really sure how it all works, but I guess doing this on different ROMS has its own different out comes.
overclocking has me confused too, is there really that much of a benefit in it? how much will i gain from it?

There is a benefit when you use certain apps, or even sense itself. For example, I've never had sense ui freeze, or go slow. The under clocking helps to improve the rubbish battery life when your phone is asleep.
In terms of measuring the gain, I have no idea. Really, I'd think you could use a process heavy app, or benchmarking app and see.
There's also loads of guides on overclocking to help out! (that's how I got the hang of it! )

For the need on OC, it depends on the kind of apps u're using. If u're happy w a non OC DHD, its totally up to u.
But for the UC, it works as a terrific battery saver, mich better/effective than other battery saver soln on market
The safe range depends on the DHD as the manufacturing changed even though same part, i'm OC 1.5GHz "On Demand" profile and under clock 245MHz on screen off "Power Save" profile.

What's a safe level to overclock my phone to? I'm running the latest MIUI (1.9.16) with the lastest Tiamat kernel (1.1.3) I'm at about 1344 MHz right now. Can I go much highter?
Sent from my rooted, MIUI DInc2
From my testing, I've found there isn't to much to be gained going over 1.6ghz.
For a safe level I keep mine at 1.2 ghz. This has worked out well for me. Try different frequencies and see what works out for your needs.
I'm running JDKernel with the max set at 1.5 ghz, using the smartass governor. When I look at the "time in state" info, it usually shows about 75% of my time spent at 768 mhz. Seems to be working great.

Well, I tried bumping it up to 1.6, and I locked my phone and the screen turned off, but the keys stayed on, and it wouldn't come back up. So I pulled the battery and went back to 1.3 like it was before. Now its working great. I'm on smartass v2

If your having lockups, try installing Incredicontrol from the market and bump up the voltage on the higher frequencies 25-50mv, this should keep you from locking up. I do this when I use the performance governor and want to run Quadrant or Linpack .

I've been using SetCPU, cuz I couldn't understand Incredicontrol..... What's ideal if I'm running around 1.6 for voltage?
On the Jd Kernal, I'll bump it up to 1450 and go from there.

So, you don't know about for Tiamat? I'm using that one.
Plus, would anyone recommend using his Incredikernel as well?
I'll go about the same on the Tiamat. I usually will start at 50 mv over whatever the stock setting is on the kernel when running performance runs.
I didn't know that Chad had done a Kernel for Aosp romed Dinc2's. I know his Dinc1 Kernels were great.
I accidently had my phone at 1.9 for a day running jdkernel, no crashes or anything
Atm when my phone is charging, it gets bumped up to 1.4 and i have no issues at that speed.

(Q)I have a og evo and cant overclock it 1.2ghz.

I have a og evo I want to know why when I overclock to 1.2ghz it freezes my phone why does it do that ?
Sent from my Nocturnal 4G using xda premium
Each Evo is different. Some of them can't handle that high overclock, or can't be undervolted very low. Each one is different, each has its limits.
I don't understand the big deal with overclocking. It burns your battery faster. I personally underclock, with little to no lag and is good enough for my casual gaming needs
Mine doesn't like a clock much at all. I can get about 1.1 before it starts locking up but even then it hangs a lot. I honestly don't see a difference from 1.0 to 1.2. Get a decent rom, good kernel and try out the v6 script an I almost guarantee you will like that better.

Overclocking is overrated. If you need to overclock for every day usage, then something is wrong - at least in my opinion. Resource intensive gaming is different, but you shouldn't need to overclock for browsing, texting, casual games, etc.
Try out the V6 Supercharger script. I'm not currently using it, but have in the past and it seemed to make my phone more snappy. A lot of people swear by it and it's a great script, definitely worth a shot. There are other things you can do to speed up your phone without overclocking. I'd try other options first since overclocking will chew through your battery. Increase the dalvik vm heap size, there are plenty of free apps on the market to help with this task. Uninstall apps you don't use, I'll bet that you never use some of the apps on your phone. Back them up with Titanium Backup and you can restore them if you ever need them again.
In case you didn't already know, the Evo can't overclock past 1.2, I'm not 100% sure why - it has something to do with the processor.

I never oc over 1075 and only when plugged in if i play a game I need to oc.for I just activate my charging profile and plug up and play 1.2 ghz is a good chance of doing serious.damage as these older scorpion processors get very very hot at that clock speed so they lock up to try and protect themselves from heat damage or they shut down the phone 1075 is as high as you should need to go for any games the evo can handle on the subpar gpu

I'm pretty sure viperMOD is more for undervolting than overclocking, which are not suppose to be combined together. I am running vipermod with max voltages - 50. Other nite was playing snes9x and was getting some lag with a game so I bumped max CPU up to 1.2. Phone went into a bootloop and had to superwipe and reflash everything. Don't know if its b/c vipermod + 1.2 CPU or just bumping up CPU. Didn't try it again.

You can overclock and undervolt together just fine. You just need to ensure that every frequency has a high enough voltage to run the processor at that step. My Evo is overclocked and undervolted just fine, although IIRC I can only push it up to 1.1 GHz . My tablet is 1ghz to 1.6ghz and is undervolted as well, though.
merge rls 2.0, iron monkey, Droid overclock because of the profiles options. I set up four profiles including one for temp. sometimes i'm underclocking and sometimes overclocking but only up to 1.19 to prevent freeze and boot loops. Only downside is right at open Droid overclock needs su permission but that is my choice since profile changes at open.
Very snappy afterwards.

When I had the 4G, I was never able to go above 1118, or somewhere around that. It would have freezing issues.
On my evo shift, I was able to do 1.7 gHz (compared to stock 800 mhz) ok. 1.6 pretty reliabily, and I could run 1.5 all day long. Some guys could do 1.9. It just depends on the phone.
Actually overclocking and undervolting is counter-productive. What you should do, is read carhaulers and ropodopes guide over at vaelepak. Its give some good useful info about how to set up a good aosp rom. I'm underclocked, undervolted, and still getting 1400+ benchmarks. Check it out bro. You'll love the results.

What? Overclocking and undervolting are two completely different things, and they aren't mutually exclusive. Unless you can provide a good reason as to why it's counter productive to do both, I don't buy that at all. Just checked my phone, my overclock requires an extra 25 mV for all three steps I've overclocked. 25mV isnt much, and it certainly isn't going to kill my battery that much faster.
Besides, the only time the CPU is going to be entering these high power modes is when it needs to do work, and it's better to do work as fast as possible to go back to sleep. Would you rather wake up, do a mundane task for 5 minutes, then go back to sleep or wake up, do a task at 2x the speed while only consuming 30-50% more energy, then going back to sleep after only 2.5 minutes?

First let me say I don't use viper mod or any voltage controlling mod.
On sense 3.0 roms such as mikg I over clock to 1152 and set the minimum to 384 and its smooth as butter. No problem and battery lasts all day.
On aosp however such as decks (I'm on it now) I underclock to 499 and leave the min at 254. Smooth as always and battery lasts forever.
Anything past 1152 is going to cause problems (at least in my experience) also the rom/kernel can effect how much you can overclock.

Its counter productive because it is giving less to something that needs more. (Don't take this post as me trying to be a ****. Just voicing how someone explained it to me a while ago)
Think of this as cars.
Lets say you have a nice fancy v8 mustang. Stock, everything is well, balanced.
If you start adding parts and get it pushing out 1000 horsepower (overclock) your most likely gonna need more feul (voltage) or at least stock amount flowing into the engine just to keep it running.
Now lets say you got that same 1000 horsepower gas destroying mustang and you start to lower the amount of gas flowing into the engine (undervolt (done in vipermod)) cylinders (CPU) wont get enough gas, it wont work, and your stuck going no where.
So if that made sense (did to me) then you can see why they are counter productive. Unless your using vipermod to overvolt (which idk if you can since I don't use it) then you can disregard this whole post

Your car analogy is completely irrelevant. You can look up the exact voltages that the CPU runs on at every frequency, *even when overclocking*. Overclocking an Evo 1ghz to 1.2ghz takes maybe a 5% bump in voltage, and that 5% extra power is only going to be used *when the CPU is running at max speed* (which is only when there is a lot of work to do), and even then, it's *still better to let the CPU run at max speed with a tiny bit more power consumption than to cap the CPU at a slower speed and make it work for even longer*. Intel calls it HUGI, Hurry Up and Get Idle.
I know what I'm talking about, and I wish people would stop trying to argue with me based off of second hand speculation. I do this for a living, after all. There is absolutely nothing wrong with overclocking and undervolting, and it's the best way to get the most battery life *and* performance out of your phone, period.

Hmm, *interesting*. I believe the best answer to the OP was covered rather well earlier. It's all about your rom/kernel/hardware combination. With all the variables to consider as relevant, your best bet is to experiment and find what works for your device. Don't check set on boot untill you are confident the set-up is stable. Higher is not always better with overclocking. My device runs blazingly well underclocked @768max. Gets insanely great battery @499max. However my quadrants are better @ 1036 than at 1190.
Great thing about android is you can experiment and learn through trial and error.

Undervolting

I wanted to know some more about undervolting and was hoping someone could help and explain a bit. Basically, what I'm seeing is when I undervolt my device on the max side of things, eventually the device freezes and needs a battery pull or reboots. When I don't touch the max voltage values and only drop the min values the phone seems more stable and doesn't reboot. Can someone explain if my thinking of only undervolting the min values is correct and why this may be happening. Also, what would be the proper way to undervolt the phone? I have been using system tuner to do so on deck's 1.3 ROM using the Lee +sbc kernel. Thanks for taking the time to read this and for all the helpful responses.
Sent from my Decked Evo running Lee+sbc... It's easier this way.
I have this same question! I was trying to figure this out becuase the freedom kernels have something to do with under and over voltage to allow better OC? not sure on why the you would need and over voltage to over clock?...
What is your ROM/Kernel setup?
Remember that undervolting and underclocking are two different things. Over/underclocking, via apps like setcpu, raise/lower the frequency at which your processor operates. Over/undervolting raises/lowers the power voltage available to your processor at any given frequency. This can potentially cause problems if you have a kernel set to undervolt your processor while running an app like setcpu to overclock it. This may be why you are seeing issues with your phone.

OP clearly states he's running Deck's 1.3 and Tiamat 3.3.7 (aka LEE kernel)
OP should also state Deck's ROM version but I'm assuming 1.3d as it's most popular next to 1.3 Stable.
I'm running the same setup - Deck's 1.3d with LEE SBC. I'd like someone to explain (as the OP also asked) the difference between the MIN and MAX sides of the undervolting equation please.
(I do understand underclocking AND that it is a separate and different animal and for the record, my EVO is UC'd to 128/499MHz and using Smartass governor)
I'm just not sure what I'm looking at in the ST interface (what's the first number and what's the number in [] brackets?) and also not sure just why there is both a min and max voltage for each frequency and how it affects performance.
Thanks much for any inputs.
J.
I use vipermod and terminal emulator for aosp roms its much more stable than using system tuner and you can drop all voltages with a single command it all depends on your particular hardware but typically around -100 the phone will lag or freeze i usually stick to -50 at stock voltages and -25 on overclock i never overclock over 1075mhz as anything higher and my phone tries to cook my fingers however now im oc to 1.6ghz on my et4g with a 200mhz min and it stays nice and cool like it was clocked at 1.2ghz stock the exynos is capable of clock speeds up to 2 ghz but the phone doesnt handle those speeds well similar to the evo not liking anything over 1.19 at 1.2 on the evo theres a good chance of frying the logic board or bursting the battery from heat if you overclock dont undervolt too much as it makes the processor get really really hot due to it having to work harder from lack of energy to power it

To answer the min/max at each freq min is the lowest voltage that freq will run while idle max is the highest voltage the freq will run while in use the voltages are depenedant on the load running at the particular freq ie how many process' are running the more process' the higher the voltage required to power the processor

I had a similar issue with undervolting and underclocking. I was setting my CPU min/max to 128-499 MHz and undervolting to -75 or -100 using Lee with Smartass v1. But I was getting too many random reboots and freezes on each ASOP rom I tried (e.g. Deck 1.3d, CM7).
I've been playing around with these settings. I changed my CPU to 128-576, no undervolting, and SZ 2.2.1 with SavagedZen governor. I haven't had any random reboots and my batter life is about the same...plus my phone is MUCH snappier. I'm still getting a little screen on lag but not nearly as much as I was at 128-499 and undervolted.
As a note, I normally run Deck 1.3d as my daily driver but for the last couple days I've been running KWIQ. It's definitely giving 1.3d a run for its money as becoming my daily driver.
Anywho, are there any rules of thumb with undervolting and underclocking? Like is 128 MHz is too low with -100 undervolting? Or are these things pretty much phone dependent? I know each phone seems to respond different to these things.

To answer the min/max at each freq min is the lowest voltage that freq will run while idle max is the highest voltage the freq will run while in use the voltages are depenedant on the load running at the particular freq ie how many process' are running the more process' the higher the voltage required to power the processor

Thank you. That made good sense to me. Question then: is it suggested/typical to drop min and max by equal amounts or is it typical to drop min more (so there's juice for the proc under load but maybe being more aggressive with the sleeping/idle side of things or can the proc run at a given frequency at different voltages)?

I'm just not sure what I'm looking at in the ST interface (what's the first number and what's the number in [] brackets?)

Are you familiar enough with ST to shed some light on this? Please if so. Thank you.

Is there an app the will show actual voltage the CPU is using in real time?

bmw pro will u can set the mv on the widget or set recording in the app and it will log the info

Though I have to recheck this I don't remember BMW showing the voltage being used at each frequency just the overall voltage draw. If you know otherwise or another tool that does, please share
Thanks for all the help.

Let's see.. My phone flies, my battery doesn't suck.. and your point was.... ?
OG EVO - Deck'd and LEE'd because it's just better this way.
Lionfish kernel
Has anyone tried undervolting with lionfish kernel on SENSE Roms, is it stable?

I use aggressive and it works well but some phones don't like it, hopefully I can get vipermod to work, and that will allow you to adjust each frequency independently

I actually just got rid of lionfish aggressive on MikG3.11
I had a lot of lagginess, but battery life was really good... Back to anthrax for me, lionfish was based at one point on freedom kernels I thought, maybe one of those would be better...?
What's the best thing to use to control undervolting on sense roms?

Is the battery life improvement substantial when undervolting?
I have governators set at 240-650max and am getting decent life on my ics savoca kernel.
What % improvements are obtained?
Well I don't have logcats and scientific evidence, but I saw about 12 hour days, with moderate use, everything syncing, lots of text a few calls, hotspot for an hour or so, some web browsing, but the random revolts and lagginess on that was horrible, freedom was better.... It's worth it to underclock
I have everything set to 384-1152.
Different governors for profiles, screen off @ conservative because I have a lot to sync
