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

I've tried overclocking/undervolting (I'm not sure what the proper terminology is) using cpu master, no frills cpu control, and voltage control on everything from 100 min 1000 max to 400 min 1200 max on demand and I always get the same result: screen won't wake up after it sleeps for more than a few seconds and I have to pull battery to reboot. Is there some option that needs to be enabled to make this work again? Running SRF1.2

if you are using the latest voltage control from the market try this older version (uninstall yours first) http://devphone.org/files/epic4g/kernels/VoltageControl_3.0.apk
also here is the instructions from my kernel thread but the same thing should apply
Easy Overclock/Undervolt Method:
Setting up your frequencies:
Required software: Voltage Control by xan http://devphone.org/files/epic4g/kernels/VoltageControl_3.0.apk
1. Backup your device in ClockworkMod and flash the kernel. If you get messed up or confused just reboot your device to undo the changes.
2. After flashing the kernel, uninstall SetCPU and install Voltage Control (VC).
3. Open VC and hit 'States' at the bottom to open the States drawer.
4. Enable your desired frequencies and hit the menu button and 'Apply for now' (DO NOT 'Save as boot settings')
5. Hit 'States' to retract the States drawer.
6. Leave the Scheduler as 'cfq' and change Limit clock to your desired max frequency.
7. Hit the menu button and 'Apply for now' (DO NOT 'Save as boot settings' unless you are 110% sure the settings are stable and you have adequately tested)
Setting up your personal undervolt settings: (Caution: When figuring out your maximum undervolt settings there is a good chance you will get some data corruption so make sure your backup in ClockworkMod is up to date)
1. Open VC and select the desired frequency you wish to undervolt.
2. The green slider goes in increments of -25mV so select that first and take note of the frequency and value. (It is important when testing that you reduce the voltage ONE step at a time)
3. Hit the menu button and 'Apply for now'
4. Test the device's stability THOROUGHLY before you move the slider down any further. See the FAQ below for tips on testing stability.
5. If you feel it is stable then repeat this process and move the slider down one step, write it down, and THOROUGHLY test.
6. When your device freezes or starts acting weird then you know that value is too much and you should use your previously stable value.
Repeat this process for each of the other frequencies you wish to undervolt. When you feel you have the stable values that you are comfortable with, open VC and apply your stable values and THOROUGHLY test your device again. After you do all of this, make sure you are 110% certain of the stability before you 'Save as boot settings' and remember you may need to restore your ClockworkMod backup before setting up your final values to ensure no data corruption.

[Q] cm7 rc1v2 overclock

Hello i noticed that cm7 rc1v2 comes with 1ghz max clock speed at default. What are the possibilities of damage? How can I set it back to 800mhz max clock? maybe setcpu? thanks the answer!
Best Regards
Ernő
Recovery has o.c option.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
i dont think it will damage anything..1Ghz is the max clock..it rarely goes to max..like wen u r playing a good graphics games or multi tasking and all..if u want u can underclock to 800Mhz also..
either use recovery overclock option or install setvsel and change the values.
recovery is when i put the volume down when the led lights blue?
edit: I found it but i dunno wich option is to set it to default 800 mhz anyone cold tell me what to do from step to step?
PLS Thank you!!!
Best regards.

You can try the following
Turn off your phone and turn it back on
When you see the blue notification light, press the volume down button
Select CPU Settings (use volume up and down button to navigate, power button to select)
Select CLK3: [1000]
Keep pressing [-10 Clk3] till you see the desired speed (for eg. 800 Mhz )
Once done, Select Go Back and Reboot the system.

[ADDON PACK][12/18/11] Bulletproof MIUI Pack v1.2 :: OC/Optimized/Extras!

Bulletproof MIUI Addon Pack
Due to a lack of time, I've discontinued weekly updates to Bulletproof MIUI. I didn't want to leave anyone behind, so I believe I've come up with the next-best-solution.
The Bulletproof addon pack is designed to be flashed directly over the weekly translated MIUI builds (e.g. MIUI.us/MIUIandroid.com, etc). The pack will enable all of the features listed below, and should make your phone run significantly better.
The addon pack allows you to update as soon as the translations are available, so you're not stuck waiting on me to update every week! This pack should (in theory) work on pretty much any G2/DZ ROM, but your milage may vary. Please always make a backup before flashing, just in case.
Features
- /system converted to ext4 file system.
- Virtuous OC Daemon (Installing SetCPU or CPU Tuner will automatically disable the daemon.)
- Tsubus' ILWT kernel
- EFS wiped on flash to prevent GPS issues.
- Wifi Calling conditionally installed for T-Mobile US users, uninstalled otherwise.
- Modified SD card read cache (set to 4096)
- Applications Zipaligned on boot (skipped if already ZA'd)
- App Widget Picker added for users who prefer to use alternative launchers.
- CyanogenMod/Galaxy Nexus ringtones/notification/alarm tones
- OC/UV Beater bundled to control/configure OC
- Themed keyboard that's much more MIUI-like
Installation Instructions:
- Install the MIUI ROM of your choice (MIUI.us/MIUIAndroid.com recommended)
- Flash the Addon pack
- Configure OC settings via the OC/UV Beater application
Whenever you update your MIUI each week (either via OTA or by manually downloading/flashing), simply flash the pack afterwards and you're all set!

What makes this rom > osimood's?
virtuous OC! time to ditch osimod's. Ill miss extended settings though

I installed it and it performs well so far. I flashed the tiamat 1.1 kernel to because i like the smartass governor a lot, but now it seems as if the virtuous overclock controller just doesn't work with it (fc's all the time).. Does this mean that the daemon doesn't work either?
Whats better abouth the virtous controller compared to setcpu?
Cheers keep up the good work tho!!
thanks for your hard work, will try it later!

Oh well so much for the bulletproof part, guess this was a flop. Let me know when the FC's go away and we'll talk.

The overclock daemon wasn't intended to work with the smartass governor. The daemon uses screen off profiles which makes the smart ass governor useless. Switch back to the on demand governor or the per shoot kernel and things will probably work better

first thing i notice is that scrolling through the homescreens is smooth as butter! wow.
im going to try this one for some time, see if it becomes my new favourite!
Just wondering is the kernel important to work with the daemon or does the governor just need to be set to on demand and it works with any miui compatible kernel?
so could i use tiamat or streamline5 with this kernel then? (sorry i know jsut the concept behind daemon but not the specifics like this)
The force closes of the controller are due to the frequencies in the scripts that are default not being supported by the kernel. If you want to use a different kernel change the frequency in the script then everything will work as expected.

You can try to flash the extened settings. They should work. http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?7738-MOD-Extended-Settings-Menu-Options

Where is the link to the Rom you cooked up. Think you can do do better? Let me know when It's released and we'll talk.
If have to criticize don't be so rude about it.
i totally agree with u...
Nonsense

Ok so now after reading this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14529333&postcount=5
things are starting to make sense, and it seems legit to go with the pershoot kernel and skip the smartass governor alltogether.
Let's try with the pershoot kernel then
cheers

[Q] Poor Memory management/ Tune in pro frequently closes when browsing

When I use tune in I go back to the home screen or browse, my phone will frequently close the app. This shouldn't happen, especially when its in the notification bar also, its supposed to run in the foreground.
I was thinking of moving it in to the system/app folder but before I do, can someone suggest a better solution?
Maybe Change the Max events per second or back ground process limits but I wouldn't know what would be a good setting, or if it has anything to do with it.
Im currently running Black Ice with samurai kernel. Its not the ROM or the kernel because I've had this problem since I've had the phone.
Hi,
First,the "max_events_per_sec" precisely "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec" has nothing to do with your issue,it's about scrolling speed in the buid.prop.
In Developper Options Check if "Don't keep activities" is untick and if "Background process limit" is set to "Standard limit".
This rom is based on AOKP I believe,so in your "Control rom" (where there is the options for Navbar,Lockscreen,etc...) you get something like "Performance"/Free memory,check if this value is not too high,currently 80mb is good.
Last thing check your init.d scripts,there are probably that manages the ram (but let Android do it by itself).If you have scripts like "**VM","**LMK",or "**FreeMemory" even "**Tweaks",take it a look it's surely about ram.
Rename them with .bak or disable them via your Rom control then reboot ant test.
EDIT:and in Tune in,is there an option for/about settings/running in backround?
N, no Tune in settings like that, but thanks for your reply.

[Q] STweaks : Set on boot ?

Hi,
many time i see people which enable "Set on boot" after undervolt/underclock the CPU. And i wonder why ?
When i restart the phone after modify settings on STweaks, my settings are saved. So why should i put "Set on boot"?
That's mean my settings are applied just once and i have to always open STweaks for enabled my new settings ?
When i go on CPU spy plus, i can see my underclock, so how to know if my undervolt are saved ?
Thanks :angel:
Anyone?

[Q] Can't change SetCPU Settings after CM10

Hi I just updated my Xperia Play to CM10 Zeus FXP226 Rom + Lupus Zeus v13 Kernel and it's working great. The only problem is that even though the device is definitely rooted I can't seem to change any of the settings in SetCPU. I use the slider to choose a new min/max and governor/scheduler but it doesn't change the current settings text underneath where it shows the current cpu speed. I have tried selecting 'Set On Boot' and rebooting and it saves my selection but the text under current cpu speed still states I'm on default settings. I have never had this problem before.. Please help.

You can use lupus menu to do it it 100% sticks there. Or try nofrills.
setcpu does not work correctly in cm9+
