Can't overclock - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I try to overclock my phone using the built in CPU settings on cm7 it reboots. It wont go past 1113 when I try 1190 it reboots I'm using tiamat kernel.

That simply means that your phone doesn't like to be clocked that high. Evo's can get very unstable when trying to clock too high, and reboots is the most common symptom. Slow the clock speed down a bit and see what happens. Also, maybe try a different kernel. The Tiamat kernel may not agree with your phone. My Evo reboots randomly on any Tiamat kernel I've ever used, including the latest one. My Evo just doesn't like that kernel, on any governor, or any clock speed I've tried. Just make sure you don't have the 'set on boot' checked until you find where your phone is stable.

It does the same using savaged Zen kernel

I'd try lowering the clock speed a bit until it's stable. What governor setting are you using? Have you tried on any different governor settings?

Performance probably isn't the best idea when you're overclocking at speeds that are known to be unstable. Try using smartass or SavagedZen if you're on SZ. For Tiamat, use interactive or ondemand.
Do you really need to overclock, or are you just doing it because you can? My phone runs smoothly undervolted. I dropped SetCPU and just use Tiamat + Viperboy's scripts. I've heard that higher speeds cause instability - freezes, crashes, reboots - but have never experienced it myself.

Very interesting plainjane
Thanks.

Hydra kernel

Correct me if I'm mistaken but can you run setcpu with the unrevolted kernel installed ???
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yes because perflock is.disabled

Ok I was wondering bc the Hydra kernel website says setcpu is not neccessary

I have undervolted v.05 and can't seem to reduce speed even with pureed lock disabled.. Can you write back on your success?
I have stock leak 2.2

Phone gettin really hot using 3g And charging.

So I have noticed lately since eco5 after I root and install a rom don't matter if I'm CWM3 or2.5 it gets really hot when I'm using data and while its on the charger.. and if its off the charger it still gets warmer than usual maybe its just me but any ideas? When I'm not rooted and am just stock eco5 it don't get hot at all :\ I'm lost here and could this cause damage?
(Sorry for the bad puncuation and grammer)

That's your problem, not all phones can handle scaling from 100mhz minimum, switch it to 200mhz and try it for a few hours.
Ok ill try that. Let you know ina few hours how it works ok thank you

Does any kernel support SetCPU for undervolting?

Seems like all the kernels I've looked at require either some proprietary app or scripts to set the voltage levels.
Are there any kernels for the T989 that support using ordinary programs such as SetCPU for undervolting?
I'm not aware of any. I've used set CPU with every kernel I've ever ran since my vibrant days. I've never seen.the option to undervolt.

I use fauxclock. For undervolting.

[Q] CM7 Heating up

im using Cm7.2 by marciin its good but i have a problem when im surfing via mobile data or playing games my phones heats up to 45 degrees to 50 degrees Celsius, ive done no tweaking to the phone, is the problem coming from the rom itself? or it has to do with my governor? im using "on demand" as its the default on the rom
It is caused by your governor. Try using smartassv2 instead.

use smartassv2
thanks, I changed my governor, and will observed if the heat will drop...

[Q] cpu frequency

I installed no frill CPU control
when Iam setting the max CPU frequency to 1709,its not taking effect and the max frequency it can perform is 1498 as show in the statistic.
is there any way to make it take effect?
Not every phone can be overclocked at high speeds, typically i set mine at 1401 on deadline I/O using smartassv2

Most roms contain OC applications...just look thru settings>performance... There's also setCPU or No Frills

You can try installing a custom kernel, what is you're current ROM?
