How do you over clock?

Does anyone know how to over clock you're DI to say 1.2? Thanks for any help.

You first need to root your phone, then install a kernel that is compatible with whatever rom you are using, then you need to install an OCing app like SetCPU and adjust accordingly.

I'm rooted running the 2.2 RUU and I have set cpu. So do I just need a kernal? Which one?

i reccomend King Kernel bfs #4, best freaken kernel ever... its located... here

so when i install this kernal is it ok to just bump the cpu speed up to 1.2? are there any guides to do this?

A lot of factors come into play when you start overclocking, every rom will respond differently.
The first thing to do before anything is to do a complete nandroid back up.
When overclocking keep in mind that the more you overclock the more chances you have of making your system unstable.
I have experimented a quite a bit and I have found that the King Kernal #4 seems to work well for me and at 1.2 it seems to be pretty stable. Any higher than that and my phone will sometimes re-boot itself for no apparent reason.
Again, your rom may handle things different so experiment and see what works best for you.
And remember - Do a complete backup first!

I'm using the number 4 kernal and it only goes to 1.19 is this what you mean by 1.2? I have to keep mine at 1.1 ghz at 1.19 my di gets unstable

Ya that's as high as they can oc these chips. I can only get to 115 safely 119 just crashes. But the charging experience will be better than stock with the BFS #4.

Could you guys please tell me what your settings for setcpu are?
I want better battery life and a faster cpu but im noticing that my phone almost needs a wake up time when i come out of screen off.
Thanks so much

If you are experiencing slow wake up, try increasing the min cpu speed to something around 460. Better batt life and increased speed takes a lot of experimenting. Your OC speed might differ from others due to differences in the phones cpu. For example, I have never been able to oc to 1.19 without the phone freezing or rebooting. My phone can handle 1152 but 1113 is perfect. In my opinion, ROMs have something to due with best batt-speed combo. I am running Ruby 1.1.1 with a setcpu profile of Screen off=245 without any wake lag. Other ROMs I have tried had wake up lag at that speed profile.
My set up:
(ROM-ASOP) Ruby 1.1.1
King's #1 ASOP "I told you so"- only works with ASOP
With the ROM's "Gem" performance scaling setting off, I use setcpu to OC to 1113, min is 245. I have a profile set to SCREEN OFF = 384 max/245 min.
I haven't worried about battery life since I started using King's kernals (I've tried them all with every compatible ROM on xda). I have several posts elsewhere on XDA showing 12 plus hours on a single bump charge and heavy phone use. Good enough for me. Stock cpu speed plus Sense ROM seems slow to me now.....to each his own though.

I hope to get some help because i value the opinions of those on this forum. Currently i am running virtuous 2.7 with virt. kernal v2. I am rooted, s-off, 2.15.xx radio. I want performance without draining my battery. What are the best settings to use in setcpu?
I did try king's kernal #4, but it was rebooting. switched kernals this morning.

One other app I use in conjunction with SetCPU is MinFreeManager. This will readjust your free ram to a higher standard. But with SetCPU I have it at 1113/Ondemand with no custom profiles. One other thing I really don't set is the Set on Boot option. I don't know why but I do. So with SkyRaider Vanilla 3.0 RC3/ KingX Kernel #4/ and MinFreeManager my phone fly's. I can't say for certain what settings you need for your phone but 1113-1115 is preferred by "most" phones and keep the set on boot option off. I keep a Galaxy S live wallpaper running and pandora while browsing the web and no lag what-so-ever.
CyanogenMod 6.0.2 and KingX kernel #1 with the same setup runs almost as smooth.
Hope this helps you out.

[Q] Htc evo 4g overclock some question...

hey gus...i wanna overclock my htc evo 4g~
i reference this tutorial :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695750
is android 2.3 can't overclock...?
becaue updated can't power on....
stay the HTC EVO 4G this screen...and repeat pwoer on...lol
but i restored my system....
some body konw?? hlep...plz....

All you have to do to overclock is flash a custom kernel that supports it. Funny thing about phones are they are all different. I have had 3 EVO's now and my first one wouldn't go over 1036 without crashing. My second one handled 1190 with no problems. The one I have now handles 1190, but starts getting hot and hiccups a little, but if I keep it around 1075 it runs real smooth. I really don't see much of a difference in everyday use by overclocking, but if you insist on doing it find a kernel that supports it and is made for your Rom. If you tell us what Rom you are using we can give you some kernel options. If you get the app called SetCPU it will allow you to overclock your CPU if your kernel supports it. Also, overclocking is built in to Cyanogenmod.

Thank you!!!
this is my system kernel

sorry,for the android system related...don't know much about..
but,thanks your answer~~^_________^

You'll need a custom kernel. I use Savaged-Zen myself (BFS version). It's smooth and fast, and never gave me an issue over- or under-clocking.
You will have to test your phone out though. Mine can run at 1190 and pass any stress test I throw at it without problem, but my brother's phone will freeze as soon as it hits 1190, but can manage 10-something. Try out different clocks and see what runs fine on yours.
Edit: The Savaged-Zen mirror is whacky right now. If it gives you a 404 error when downloading it, just keep trying. It'll eventually download.

but my rom is CM7...android2.3.3...is different?
but thank you very much!!!!!
downloading....!
is this rom have chinese language?
because i'm taiwan person....l0l

[Q] Best kernel for MIUI

I am currently using MIUI 1.7.29 Osimood with the Tiamat 1.04 kernel, and I am wondering what the best kernel is for battery life. I am also using the V6 supercharger ram script. I am running my CPU at 960mHz at the moment, using the smartass governer. I also undervolted using vipermod, 960MHz at 950mV.
My choice consists of the latest Pershoot, UmaroKernel 1.06 or Tiamat 1.04
What differences would I see between those kernels, are they noticeable for a regular user?

Sorry man, but wehre do you find the vipermod for desire z? http://vipermod.tiamat-dev.com/faq.php it's not compatibile with desire z/g2....

Uh...what's wrong with the kernel it comes with? Can OC to 1.5GHz stock ya know. Battery life is great with it too. People always want to flash something weather it be a radio or a kernel.

damn straight,
1) pershoot is a sense kernel? (i am proabably wrong but i have never tried this kernel)
2) umaro kernel i found had issues with wifi, high underclock freq (leading to poorer battery life), but fun if you have the time to tweak voltages and fast!
3) tiamat kernel i found had issues with sleep of death/random reboots on wakeup couldnt test it past that. (setcpu was set to screen off was: conservative 125min -345 max and would still crash)
if you are up for another kernel, i am now using this kernel (streamline5)
no voltage tweaking (pretweaked) but it has good batt, speedy and stable cant ask for much

Pershoot is actually for non-sense roms. The downfall people have with it is lack of governors. Some don't mind, some want variety. I've had great experiences with Pershoot's kernel and it's the baseline that all others are compared to (not to mention the foundation of almost ALL G2/DZ kernels).
Umaro's just needs to have voltage tweaks done manually but on the plus side - keeping the voltages normal (not UV) allows some people to reach higher OC speeds. It keeps the processor from bottoming out due to insufficient voltage which can easily happen when you UV. The main issue is with the Greased lightening governor - it's new and still a bit buggy.
Tiamat 1.0.4 is outstanding. I can sit all day at 2+ GHz (not literally, see: Chernobyl). I personally have an issue with the interactive governor but other than that it's my favorite kernel (Umaro may take that soon, once greased lightening is perfected).
Basically you just need to try out a few and see which you like. There is no 'best'. Most kernels will work with any ROM (Sense being the only exception).

Bumping a thread that is relevant to my interests.
It's about time for me to jump ship from an outdated CM ROM and try something new like a MIUI ROM.
With that said, I'd like to read more opinions & experiences from people using the various Kernels AND how the latest radio (the one released today) is working for them. I'm just trying to get the optimal experience here
Speaking of MIUI would anyone mind telling me some differences between OsiMood's ROM compared to the official MIUI-US ROM (or even DarkSpadez ROM)?
Thanks a ton guys!

I downloaded the official rom . . .then ignored it downloaded osimood and iv been using it since. Osimood is a lighter rom, which is always a good thing, unwanted languages etc are removed for a smaller faster rom. Also he preinstalls tweaks like an adblocker and extended settings mod.
Kernal wise iv been looking for the same info as you but couldn't find it. So I eneded up trying them all:
- Eugenes streamline5 is a nice kernal, preundervolted. Only probly is its not being updated so will become redundant.
-Tiamats kernal allows over clock to 2ghz and seems to support higher overclocks stably where other kernals can't. Except battery life has decreased with recent kernals
-Umarokernal this is the kernal iv come back to twice and am still on. It allows overclock to 1.9ghz and is kept updated by umaro. Performance per frequency seems as good if not better than most and osimoods miui runs smooth with this kernal on 800ghz with scarey governer (which saves battery) Another plus for me with this kernal is the scarey governer which for me definatly provides the best performance per battery ratio.

I'm currently running MIUI 1.8.5 with Eugene-Streamline 5 Kernel with the latest radio update Vision_Radio_12.57.60.25_26.10.04.12.
SetCPU with Governor ondemand provides me with better usage, power and responsive time then Smartass or Interactive.
OC to 1.2ghz
Battery life, about 30hrs with the regular 1350mah.

i just got 40 hours with similar setup but i use virtuous o/c daemon instead of setcpu
big fan of streamline5 and hope that it will get updated eventually

How do you get the virtuos o/c daemon?

Its basically like an automatic setcpu (which can't be changed on the fly) built into the rom, its in virtuous unity roms

What sleep profiles are you guys usein. I seem to have rebooting issues with any kernel I try unless I go to a sense rom. I've tried the vipermod now to see how it goes
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

But how do you get the virtuos O/C daemon to work on MIUI?

You can download it threw rom manager. Even with that kernel I get reboot issues. I assume its cause system ram isn't being cleard fast enough. I'm gonna try 100mv increase to see if there's a difference.

[Q]Laggy after flashing new Rom/Kernel

Hello,
I have just flashed AOPK 4.0.3 and Franco 4.0.3 to my GN but it looks abit more laggy and the battary looks like its draining abit faster, is that due to the fact its less then a day on the device? will it be better? can someone explain how to use the Performence tool on this rom ?
Max Cpu/Min Cpu and Scaling governer
Voltage Control
Thx

1) Try a factory reset. Some times there are bits and pieces left over from your previous ROM. Standard ROM procedure.
2) if Step 1 doesn't work, reflash everything. Sometimes a bit here and there is off, resulting in a bad flash. It will only give you problems when those bad bits are needed, causing crashes or battery eating program loops.
3) If that doesn't work, redownload the ROM/Kernel. Verify the MD5 and flash that.
4) If you're having the exact same problem when trying all 3 steps, then it might be a ROM problem and you should contact the ROM dev and explain the problem and ask what you need to do to help him. However, it might not be a problem the dev can fix. Sometimes you have a phone that doesn't work with ROM X when the cell network equipment for Carrier Y in your area is provided by Company Z. Try another ROM/Kernel combo. Eventually, you will find something for you.

The lag may be caused by something as simple as your phone does not like the default setting for either the governor or the max cpu frequency. I would recommend to lower the max cpu setting and see if that helps. If not, try increasing the min cpu setting or change the governor to Ondemand or Performance and see how it works. If none of this helps, try a different kernel.
Good luck

Something that i did notice is the now and before the flashing my ram is still 300 only available and 370 used, is there a way to make it lower? thats after reboot...
Another questions is, my friend have a SG2 with Lite'ning rom on it, and his colours are AMAZING he still doesnt have ICS but he runs faster then my fresh nexus, how can i atlist make my colours as vivid as his? Thx

Bumped once, can someone answer please?
my friend's SG2 also show 850mb ram total and by a press of a butten it clears to 600 ram free and 250 working. why our phone shows only 750 and on my only 300 free all the time and 350 buzy while nothing working...

[Q] OC problem

i've heard some people can OC their GIO to 921MHz stable, but on my gio it can't even get stable on 883Mhz. on 864MHz is somewhat stable but i still get hung or FC randomly, im super stable at 844MHz.
Why does my phone can't be OC like them other guys?

Not all devices are made exactly the same. Processors can behave differently as do the batteries and other hardware.

is there nothing i can do? i've tried many ROMS, on some i can get to 921 for a few seconds, but still the same. will changing kernel help?

Why not stop overclocking ? Just find a very fast rom and then you can save the overclocking , hence the instability and hotness and draining battery. That way you will have longer life on your Gio.
L.E. : just change the minimum frequency to 245 and refrain from using roms that are heavy right now , like CM 10.1 , try anything based on gingerbread like Adrenaline or Enhanced 2.3.6 or DebianDroid for example , or AOSP ICS wich i find very fast.

well currently im using AOKP milestone 6 CM9 based, i use conservative governor 245-844MHz, installed adrenaline engine 4.4, and pim my rom and set my OOM and LMK to medium settings. battery is drained only when im using data or playing games obviously. actually this ROM is superb for me performance wise, its just, i feel like i can squeeze a bit more of it for playing games you know. its like i see this slight lagging and i thought if only i could use a little more CPU power, the lag will be gone

Even you can overclock a 1st gen AMD Duron to 2Ghz with liquid nitrogen, it just doesn't make sense doing it

AW: [Q] OC problem
i can oc my cpu to 960mhz but i think it makes no sense... you don't feel the extra speed in normal use only in benchmarks... my cpu is set to 480mhz because it's enough for every app i am using (facebook, whatsapp, xda, browser and so on).
