Overclock

What is the max overclock in this phone?? tnx!

Differs on every phone, most go to 940 or 902 stable, if you go higher you will get crash and reboots, but it is possible your gio is not stable above 883 , just try it out, it wont get it bricked

844
844 is the highest stable you can get, but you can go up to 921 mhz but you can get screen freeze and you will have to remove your battery and restart.

I've had problems with over 806, but recently I put it up to 825 and it's stable so far. I really don't understand how some can go over 900, the phone will become unusable. It also seems to be more stable with minimum freq being set to 122 not 245. Currently I have 122-825 with smartassv2 scaling and it's working fine.
One more thing. I have more luck oc'ing with cyanogenmod built-in CPU governor, setCPU with different profiles seemed to crash my call answering dialog too easily. So if you use smartassv2, there isn't much point to use setcpu for screen-off profile.

overclock
in my opinion best clock for daily usage is 806MHz

This.
Others are just stating their own experience.

True, everyone has other mhz that is stable, you just need a bit luck

Just a quick question:
I know how to adjust my Min and Max frequency, but which governor should I use?
My ROM is GalaxyICS-KANG-beta3, and the default governor is ONDEMAND. Max CPU frequency is set to 902 MHz and Min is 122 MHz, the default.
Which of these settings, if any, would you recommend I change? I'm a little intimidated by the sheer amount of governors available to me...

I'm not entirely sure how all of them work, but ondemand is the most neutral choice, that's why it is the default governor on most roms.. it chooses CPU workload according to need (on demand).
Smartass is similar, except it keeps CPU usage to minimum when screen is off (it has a built in screen-off profile). SmartassV2 is an upgraded version of smartass. It's based on Interactive governor, but there are differences on how cpu usage scales up and down.
Minmax uses only minimum and maximum values. When your phone is idle, it uses minimum.. when it's not idle, it's always at max value.
Performance keeps CPU at max all the time. Powersave does the opposite - keeps at minimum. Conservative avoids using high values when possible.
So if you don't need anything special, then ondemand or smartassv2 are the best choices with compromise between performance and battery life imo.

my gio is 940MHz

it seems that my gio is stable at 940Mhz, it got one day 1Ghz but over a day he crashd and i could not set it back to ghz... xD

Best CPU OC Settings?

What is max/min MHz and governor?

1.2 ghz max, 200-something min, smartassv2 is what I was using.

Hmmm,
I use 1.6ghz on my play. I've tried 2.0ghz but to be honest the phone just gets alot hotter. I did'nt notice much of a speed increase at all.
So my vote is 1.6ghz if your phone seems to handle it. I still get great battery life and MAX out my grand theft auto III .

if u need more battery life, set the cpu into min.. overclock your cpu too high for a long time can make a problem.. for me 1.2ghz is enough.. for the governor, smartass is the best...

The answer you seek no one can tell you exactly.
For me the best clock is 1.4Ghz, and i use Ondemand because smartass bugs my phone.
And every phone even if they the same they handle diferent, there are phones that can´t handle more than 1.2Ghz.
You have to try it for your self, like trial an error.

Im using

MIN 1,8GHZ

Its runs like hell, but battery drains a lot.. i can use it 1 day then i have to charge it...

It doesnt run this all day long... well, only for qudranthing u know?
by normal usage and so, im using frequences between 1GHZ and 1,4GHZ
Was only a joke to see your reactions

I use 1,4 GHz max and when my screen turns off then max. 300 MHz.

[Q] How to safe overclock my XPERIA Play?

Installed the JokaWild v3 ROM on my Play and flashed the DooMKerneL v14 ,now i wanna know how to do a safe OC.
I'm using No-frills CPU ,can you tell me the best settings for good and safe OC to XPERIA Play?
Thank you

I dont generally OC my phone beyond 1.2 but you can use this app to run a sereies of tests to determine which OC speed is best for your phone as all phones are different.

I don't overclock mine past 1.4. My play actually reboots if I go 1.6 or more.

I Overclocked my phone to 1.5 and it worked fine. Then tried overclock to 1.6 ,and it's really working good! no bugs ,very fast and the battery stays cool.
I'll stay with my 1.6Ghz overclock ,I think it's enough

What governor / IO scheduler are you guys using? i'm in the same position (jokawild / doomkernel v14 and just installed nofrills cpu) and have read the FAQ, but the version i have seems to have considerably more governors than what has been listed

I'm on SmartassV2.

I once asked this same question ot DoomLord, maker of DoomKernel about which governor and IO to use for best gaming and all around performance.
His recommendation (whihc I have been using since and saw a noticable difference) was to use
Governor: Performance
I/O: BFQ
and I overclock mine to 1.2ghz. My first android phone i oc'd too much, heard a popping noise and BAM.....bu-bye. So I dont go too far..

I generally step up the speed one step at a time until I hit errors that cannot be explained or I get force quits because the phone is running too fast. I suggest going slowly and testing things out but using the governor Performance while the phone is changing. Right now I'm doing okay with smartass v2 at .60/ 1.5 ghz. I might try bumping it up to 1.6 ghz and see how that works tomorrow.

Epic It is like the phone has no battery cuz on this governor, the phone runs at max frequency.

I know I'm mad late, but I was wondering why my phone kept rebooting. I uninstalled all overclocking apps so I thought my profiles would return to normal. Turns out I must have accidentally set the profile to 2ghz max and 2ghz min somehow. My phone was super lagging and thank God it didn't burn out, smh...

I currently have my Play overclocked to 1.6 using the interactive governor. Battery life is great and it runs steady at 60fps in FPSE. Also Mupen64 runs much better. I haven't had any issues with it so far!

What scheduler are you using??

Mine is running fine on 1.4Ghz with SIO scheduler and InteractiveX governor, the bbatery life seems fine as well...
SmartAss always causing lag on me, dunno why...

LUPUS_GB
i use lupus kernel for gb v2 with i/o setting SIO and governor superbad..
and my phone runs well...no lag..

Hey guys ive already overclocked my phone using the lubus gb kernelv12 and i gota say having the extra internal memory (EXTRA 400MB!!!) and the ability to overclock to 1.6ghz is nice, however there are some things i wana ask. Im running at a min 249 and a max of 1613 mhz using no frills cpu with smartassv2 as my governer and noob as be scheduler, it runs miracles in speed, everything i can run at high resolutions and play and top speeds. However i leave my phone like this all the time ( 249mhz 1613 mhz). The smartassv2 governer is ment to only use high cpus when needed, so that in theory means that i wont always be at 1.6ghz. Ive read on other forums keeping your phone overclocked all the time is bad and dangerous but is it really if the max cpu is only being used when needed? In otherwords should i leave it how it is or is it dangerous? My device is an xperia plat btw. :victory:

AFAIK only the Performance gov keeps the phone at the max allowed clock speed (1.6GHz in your case), so it's just fine as it is. You could, however, use an app (the only one I know that does this is SetCPU, there might be others) to make profiles so it'll only be overclocked when playing games/running benchmarks et cetera. This might save you some battery life.

CPU master by antutu allows you to set profiles but you need to buy the pro to do it

Much appriciated for your reply, and thanks button got a smack to.

Best Overclock settings specifically for the Play?

I'm using NoFrills CPU and want to find the right balance between overclocking, performance and battery...
What speeds and governors are everybody using for their Plays?

I'm using 1.2 Ghz max 130 Mhz min with SmartassV2 and sio. All seems okay to me.

I'm using 921mhz-122mhz intellidemand2 with sio governor and everything is smooth + battery is great

So many different settings!
Was hoping there'd be a 'common' setting that everyone kind of determined was best.
Thank though.
Still interesting, and would like to see what more people are using still.

Mines currently 1.613 Ghz Max, 245 Mhz Min. Virtuous Governor, Noop I/O Scheduler.
On intensive apps I change the max clock to 1.901Ghz however this I don't recommend for most people.
I also only use 1.9Ghz when using Android 2.3.7 with DoomKernel, as only that Kernel seems to allow for voltage changes... Which i apply when using that kind of speed, whereas the default voltages are much higher for that clock than I usually set.
Everyone's Play is different, and not all Plays can sustain high clocks at specific voltages. You need to find your own 'sweet spot'.

Is there an app for that?

No.
You need to increase your clock little by little until you're happy. Then, if you're on GB using DoomKernel you need to lower the voltage as much as you can without it crashing if you want it perfect.
Most people simply oc though and don't bother with the voltages, but it will reduce power consumption and extend the life of your phone with the OC enabled.. As normally running your CPU past its specification will wear it out faster.

As DiKeJ said in his ROM thread:
In my opinion, interactiveX, and frequency of CPU 364.8-1305.6MHz gives awesome stability and performance

:good:

TRUE FACT.

you should use a kernel that allows you to undervolt... there was some article with the galaxy S3, where they tested different settings with OC+UV and YES, Under Volting gives better battery life!!
A lot of people here say, that UV will have no effect on battery, but they have no idea how a processor works... so they just should stfu!!

ElementalX kernel - what's the fuss about

Hey guys
Before rooting my tablet I want to know something. Whats the fuss about this specific kernel? I literally see it everywhere ( well done to the dev )
I kinda want to overclock my nexus too 1.7ghz but Im not sure that kernel can do it? I also want amazing battery life I get around 7.5 already so by no means is it bad

I've got elementalx on my nexus 7 2013 : it works perfectly on 1.7ghz... And this kernel has some cool features like double tap to wake... For the battery, you can underclock but while you overclock just a bit, the battery life will be OK
So, flash it ! ?

I didn't know there was any kind of a fuss! I think that we are all lucky in the sense that we have multiple good choices for kernels on the Nexus devices and most others in general.
It goes without saying that any custom kernel is going to give you the ability to overclock and it just boils down to what the max MHz is that any specific device can handle. Not that I've tried it but I've seen claims of 1.9 MHz and higher (ElementalX) running fine but each device is going to be different and I personally don't see the point of overclocking that high. I've had mine at 1.7 and 1.8 MHz to run some benchmarks, try different governors (elementalX & ondemand) and get an idea about battery life at those frequencies. Did all that so I can get a comparison to what I see running 1.6 MHz which is what I use everyday, that plus the gpu is set at 450 MHz while using the ondemand governor for both cpu and gpu. I do have to say that my N7 ran very well at 1.7 and 1.8 MHz but "my" goal is to get the best combination of performance and battery life, for my use. I generally see 7- 10 hrs of screen on time which includes watching video and some gaming. Not using any third party apps to control the kernel, mostly default settings when using the aroma installer, slight undervolt for 384 MHz, I don't use DT2W or S2W,. Basically... it's just too easy to install the ElementalX kernel, not worry about having to dial it in and still see a noticeable improvement in performance and battery life. No fuss, no muss!

Aroma installer;
Set each core separately = no
Max Cpu Frq = 1620Mhz
L2 cache and bus = elementalx
Undervolt = 850 min
Thermal = run hot. Mine never gets hot at 1.6 MHz and this way you don't have to worry about thermal throttling.
Max GPU = 450 MHz
Gpu governor = ondemand
i/o scheduler = deadline.
Sleep/wake settings = None
Other settings = use stock ondemand settings. enable max screen freq, enable usb fastcharge, disable magnetic screen off, disable fsysnc, all other options unchecked,
---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------
You can use the elementalx governor which does a great job and does improve battery life. In the other settings page leave "use ondemand governor' unchecked and check the box for "gboost." For gaming I personally like to leave mine set up with the ondemand governor, seems just a little bit smoother with less frame drops. You can try both to see which works better for you.

Thanks a lot in will let you know how it goes ....great help +1
