[Q] Kernels ain't working for me

Hello there,
I've been flashing kernels since I was in LeeDroid Froyo and got no problems. However since I switched to GB based roms such as RCMix3D and TB Fusion, my phone always freezes when I try setting Kernel-Lee-V3.1.1-2.6.35.13-CALLREC or MDJs v19 to maximum overclock so I have no choice to but to stay on stock kernel. I have no ext3/ext4 partition on my SD card in case you ask.
Current ROM: TB Fusion 1.1.2
Radio: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Any idea what should I do to solve this issue?

yes, your handset freezes because the overclock that u do its too high... underclock it at 1200-1400mhz & try...
and configure SET CPU features... like the standby status, etc....but do it with common sense....
think about that DHD proccessor goes by default at 1gz, really when we overclock the processor we are putting in danger the security of our device

Haha! I know that overclocking is quite dangerous. Back on the froyo days, my phone is quite stable around 1.8ghz so I'm just wondering why is this happening (maybe my phone's processor is starting to fry up? ). Is there any effect if I'm using smartass profile on those kernels I've mentioned?

i hope that the processor works or not works (don´t crashes a little bit...)
but the reason of your freezes maybe (almost sure) because froyo & gingerbread don´t works at the same form, and gingerbread need more resources & stability for to work correct... don´t forget that the kernel manages the hardware...
if u force it......... u know what can happen...

it´s possible, take this explanation, read and judge by yourself what´s the better cpu governor...
smartass (Best explanation i've found paraphrases to: based on interactive, but better.)
----
ondemand
Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed. - SetCPU website
conservative
Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery. - SetCPU website
performance
Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking. - SetCPU website
powersave
Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times. - SetCPU website
userspace
A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor. - SetCPU website
Interactive
The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu
at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming
out of idle. When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire
within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer
fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the cpu was not 100% busy, then the governor evaluates the cpu load over the
last 'min_sample_rate' (default 50000 uS) to determine the cpu speed to ramp down

You have mentioned about those "resources", is there any special measure that I need to do or what? I'm using the smartass profile on those kernels but still *sigh*
Anyway, I've observed on your sig that yours is overclocked @ 1.8ghz even though you're running GB, me envy

you only should do a good over/underclock & set the correct cpu governor for your daily use....
well, you know ho is @MDeeJaay? the developer of MDJ kernels and roms...
he explained smartass with this words:
SMARTASS GOVERNOR - is based on the concept of the interactive governor.
I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works - by taking over the idle loop - is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies.
Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 245Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 245 - why?! - it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 998/245 kernel, it will sleep at 245.

no, no buddy... i only show the max speed nothing more... i set my cpu concretly like this;
CPU GOVERNOR:interactive
MAX SPEED:1113 MHZ
MIN SPEED:245 MHZ
PROFILE: screen off; 245 MHZ max.
245 MHZ min.
in adition i´m going to modify my syg LOL

haha..thanks again. I'm gonna try playing with the frequencies to see which will suit me
i hope someone can make a stable 1.8ghz kernel without the freeze

IT´S POSSIBLE but i don´t want to try it LOL
i love a lot my DHD

[Q] Daemon controller, what is all this nonsense O.O?!

ok idk ow to overclock correctly i need a way to make this sense 3.5 rom less laggy an run more smoothly, can anybody help me with this???

Yes just use Daemon Controller (basically functions the same as SetCPU) and set your maximum frequency. For most ROMs I would set it around 1.5Ghz, and set the governor to smartass or smartassv2. The governors will depend on the kernel you're using. For a good sense kernel, I would use this one.
Additionally, you can download Incredicontrol via the market and that will enable you to adjust your voltages, based on the frequency steps. A lot of people prefer to bump the voltage up or down 25% to increase performance or reduce battery drain.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PAIN AND SUFFERING YOUR DEVICE MAY INCUR.
If I helped, slap my Thanks button around a bit.

0k the number says 245760 i cant tell which is the 1.5 ghz?

245mhz... That is your lowest frequency. You'll set that as your minimum. Your max should be set at 1497mhz. It'll have some numbers straggling on the end but disregard them. 1497mhz = 1.5Ghz.

[Q] System Tuner and Governor settings

Hi,
I'm a little confused about the cpu tweaks in system tuner. I'm running Bullet v2.9b. What is the difference between the different governor settings? Also, when I change the cpu clock speeds, it keeps resetting to the default settings.

I had this same issue with system tuner. Try another CPU apparently from the market. The governors tell the CPU how fast to ramp up. Conservative is the best for battery life. Performance is the worst. On demand is a middle ground for battery and speed.

Did you ever sort out the System Tuner CPU tweak issue? I'm having the same or a similar problem. I set the freqs to 384-1.6 (whatever) and go away (home or back...). When I return to ST, seconds later, the CPU setting is 1.6-1.6. This happens almost all the time. It does not happen with SetCPU. I'd prefer to use ST, but not with this weirdness.
(I'm using faux-u009 with the standard KL1 ROM.)
Thanks for any help.

CPU Settings
Hi,
I'm using Jugg 4.1 with the bullet kernel. I was wondering what are some normal settings for the CPU when using system tuner. It seems like the first setting is +1 ghz while the second is in the 300-400 mhz range. Any help would be much appreciated.

@disguy03 - Your settings of 384MHz - 1GHz CPU are exactly what I'm using--that, and the Ondemand governor--and I haven't had any problems. If anything, since your CPU is underclocked at its highest, to ~1GHz, your battery will love you for it.
I hope that helps you in some way!

I have noticed the same behaviour, with system tuner. I believe it is a display issue. If you look at the times they will still show the lower ones. At least that is what I see.

its a graphical glitch...if you leave the CPU tab and come back it reverts to the proper view but will work properly as long as you have it set to either run from intuit.d or change after boot.

[Q] ARHD with XM Kernel 1.3ghz default?

Hi i have ARHD on my phone with the XM Kernel. I was slightly suprised in the Trickster MOD app, the max clock speed is 1.3ghz. Yes i know i can OC to 1.5 but im not sure what is setting this. When i had ARHD installed with stock kernel it was showing 1.3 as default. I assume that was set by the ROM. But i installed this kernel and still has 1.3 as the default.
Also the default govenor settings for the gaming one has the boost_freq set at 1300000, which is 1.3ghz, that can be changed to 1.5 also. But surely the boost freq would be the max freq no matter if you move the slider to 1.5 in the basic controls? But i would be suprised that the gaming govenor would underclock the cpu, surely for gaming you would want the phone maxed out?
Is this expected with the XM Kernel and the ARHD? And if so, is there any things i can change in the govenor settings to make sure it performs at absolute max?

It's kernel related; Xmisters' kernels since 188 have a hard cap(1.3Ghz) by default, but using trickster mod, or another o/c apk, you can raise it to the stock 1.5Ghz(tick 'set on boot' to ensure it stays at 1.5) The best settings are trial and error, tbh, I use touchdemand/sio though smartmax seems to be the best balance.

Thanks for the answer. i can change it to 1.5 easy enough, but if you look in the govenor control, the boost_freq is is set to 1300000. If i left it at that, would it prevent the cpu from going up to 1.5?

you have sleep (lowest CPU can go), ideal freq(the speed the CPU aims for while awake), touch poke (when you touch the screen), boost (what it boosts too to prevent lag) and max (CPU flat out)
Setting the boost to 1.3 will still allow the could to run at full speed.

That makes sense, cheers. So its probably a good idea to leave it as it is then.

[Q] CPU controller that works?

Setcpu I believe is out of date, no frills and CPU master both do not work as far as setting the values to a certain setting. Example, setting it to max with performance mode I see it @ 1.728. Was trying some benchmarks for the s&g's of it. and noticed I do not have full control of the CPU. Any ideas?

The answer to this question is Faux Clock. Thanks everyone!
