hi,
i read around and i heard people talking about overclocking.
I used to overclock my wizard with smartskey. and it would keep ur cpu overclocked even after a reboot.
I d/led Omapclock for the dash and it doesn't keep overclock settings.
am I missing some settings?
I read you guys can keep it overclock on reboot. but how?
I tried tornado, but it hate seeing it run in the background.
would smartskey work?
thanks

what rom are you using? overclock works perfect, and it keeps the settings after reboot. I won't recommend overclocking past 252mhz.
Hi,
i'm using, Excalibur_NRG_Rose_v1.4.1_LITE
i only plan to overclock it to 240, that was the safest for the wizard too.
252 works, but things get unresponsive sometimes.
I opened omapclock, and i set it at 240.
reboot, and it goes back to 183
thanks.

see, I've never used the rose rom before, I used to be a rickwyatt's v24 6.1 fan, and it sounds like you're missing the omap clockkeep.exe, that it saves the overclock settings. Let me see if I can find out, what has to be done to add this .exe to the phone, 'cause I can give you the .exe , but you need to know what to do with it, before is any good to you.
alright,
thanks for you help.

Ok , so the best thing I can do for you in such short notice, is that I checked my phone's windows directory and the omap clockkeep.exe is in there, so try it out and see if it works, if it doesn't, delete it out.
Just drop it in the windows directory, and set your omap overclock to 240mhz, and reboot and go check if it held it. Let me know, and I'll check around some more if it doesn't work.
does omapclock and keep need to be in the same folder?
looks like i already had omapclock keep in my windows folder.
and it doesn't work.
thanks
try to drop it to "windows/startUp"... Hope that work.
thanks,

Attached init script changes the CPU frequency governor based on the screen state:
Code:
screen on -> interactive governor
screen off -> powersave governor
Don't use this with SetCPU!
Thanks NeoPhyTe.x360 for the idea...
Edit:
This script is released to public domain, so it can be freely used for derivative works without permission!
Good thinking!
Thanks for sharing.

You can push this script to /system/etc/init.d but it has some dependencies e.g. the interactive governor, perflock disabler when you want to underclock, ...

That's the reason we are doing it this way: make the governor switching a bit more low level without SetCPU. But remember, this is not a update.zip and not flashable from recovery...
nice work. i really appreciate this. lets hope all the devs see this

You are right, the interactive governor sets the lowest speed when idle. But idle != screen off.

Applications and services can still ramp up the CPU speed during the screen being off, so not useless at all. Switching to the powersave governor for when the screen is off, will stop it ramping up during this time.
I modified the script abit to include frequencies for min and max.

Nice, that`s something I`ve done later, too :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31174/android/90screenstate_scaling
Thought about extending it some more...
don't punch me, but... how can this be installed?
Kinda complicated, you`ll need a modified init.rc to run the scripts from /system/etc/init.d/ at startup, you have to push the governor modules and perflock_disabler module compiled for your kernel in /system/lib/modules/ the insmod scripts for the governors, perflock_disabler script and the script above to /system/etc/init.d/
FloHimself thank you very much for the scripts and the modules.
Is it me or is this script constantly looping with no breaks/sleeps?
I've installed Neophytes' ArauxtSense 7.1 rom and he already added this on his rom. The question is, do I have to uninstall my SetCPU now? I have my referred settings on it and don't know how to disable it. I have unchecked the "Set on Boot" but everytime I boot my device, I can see that the SetCPU is still running on the background. Any advice? Any risks when having them both?

There shouldn't be any risks, but one of them will force its set freq, and the other one will be constantly changing it

Thanks for clearing that out. I guess I'll have to uninstall it then not unless I install another rom. Thank you...
Low post count, so can't post in the dev thread. I installed cow's rom v7 and had lags after using for some time. Checked the logs and and saw some error that keeps generating. Anybody has the same problem too? Hope to get some answers from cow.

Make sure zram is off and put governor on ondemand
it will reduce the lag
Yes. I have experienced the lagging before. Just do as what Rio said, off zram & use ondemand.
I've set zram off (and triple buffer on), accepted to give superuser permissions and reboot the phone from the CowPanel. When the phone turns on again I open the CowPanel and I still get "zram on" and "triple buffer off".
Does that mean the changes haven't been applied?
I didn't have any problem changing the governator using No Frills CPU Control instead.

The easiest way to check it by using Set CPU
Do you have Set CPU app ?
Go to Info > Memory
Take a look for swapcached
If it has 0 kb it mean the cache is off

Isn't there a FREE alternative for that?

Thanks but I've already done this.
Thanks a lot, but I've already applied this mod. I want to increase it even further.
What are the extreme values which speaker and earpiece can support? Because I know that 63 is the maximum value which phone allows. 64 will turn off the audio for the speaker's safety. But then again, A1F1 boost volume mod can be applied which will further increase the output. So is there anything to do after A1F1 boost settings?

The cpu and GPU locked in a certain frequency power can be achieved not so serious and be fluent game approach.
The first machine to ROOT then RE Manager to set inside the file!
1 Open the SYS-Devices-system-CPU-cpu0-cpufreq-cpuinfo_block_freq , use a text editor to open, modify the value of 600,000 or 800,000 or 700,000 can which is locked cpu frequency, save and exit after completion of editing,
2 Locate scaling_cpu_lock_nun , a method using phase inside the 0 changed to 4 . It is locked cpu cores. Save and exit editing can! In power management policy settings in a super-power standby.
GPU in accordance with slim post to unlock ! But I set 480000 360000.
Heat is also not so great to play the game is very smooth! Power consumption is not serious enough for everyday use heat is also better!
I charge 100% after setting the screen brightness is not open to the minimum WIFI playing whitewater boats two effects 30 minutes of high power consumption 23% is power! But look at the beep beep miles 720 miles to see 24 minutes of animation power at about 7%! Several times hovering at about 7%.

The translate is not best possible... I tried to change cpu_max_frequency (or something like this) from 150000 to more, but it will restore to 150000 right after i change the value. I also changed scaling_cpu_num to 4, but it just reduced my phone perfomance.

Nope. I frankly have no clue of all this.
In SYS-Devices-system-CPU-cpu0-cpufreq-cpuinfo_block_freq I have "zero", so I really shoulf change it to 600000?
Also I can't understand the phrase "Replace the file from the kernel to mount the The CPU / GPU frequency profile" from second method.
Not working at all!
For best performance in games. Go to root directory-sys-devices-system-cpu-cpu0-cpufreq/
1.Open file scaling_cpu_lock_num. Change value from 0 to 4. Save.
2. Open file scaling_ddr_block_freq. Change values from 0 to 450000. Save.
3. Open file scaling_gpu_block_freq. Change values from 0 to 480000. Save.
4. In power management set the power mode to normal.
5. Go to settings-application management. Open settings for your desired ( setting were you can chose to move application to sd card ) apk and select the performance mode.
This should help running games smooth. I tried it on nfs most wanted. The difference between stock B119 performance and this mod is huge. But I somehow think that this also has a big hit on battery life. Havent tested yet.
Hope this helps.

I don't know why, but this helps me to make NFS work better than stock settings:
1. Root
2. Install "No-frills CPU"
3. Set max CPU freq to 1Ghz /not 1.5Ghz/
4. Set governor to K3hotplug
ps - battery drain is lower when Governor is set to "Ondemand", but there is a little lag, which is not a problem when use the phone only for calls.
