Hello frnds,
I have today flashed my arc with XperiaMod with DoomKernel (Finally.. )
Can anyone please help me in setting up the correct and optimal min-max overclock frequency with the help of setCPU? Thanks...
I'd say up to 1.4GHz is safe, because the Arc S has the Arc's CPU that is tested at higher spees.
For min speed: go as low as you want, underclocking won't damage the device imo.

ok.. thanks.. By the way, can you please tell me what does the scaling governer actually do? and which one should be selected from the list in setCPU app?
They choose which clockspeed gets used.
Interactive and interactiveX are said to offer better performance and smartass and smsrtassV2 more battery life and a bit less performance.
Try them and use the one you like the most.
I use interactiveX

I like the Doomkernel but overclocking the GPU scares me somewhat (since you can't change the GPU clock rate)
If the GPU/CPU is broken I don't think I can afford a new one...
So like the title, what OC rate is safe to use ?
All phones behave differently so some phones will oc to 2 GHz with no side effects while some won't go past 1.4 GHz
So u should try it yourself

Oc above 1.4GHz without undervolt is dangerous
If you can undervolt 1.6GHz to 1250mV, 1.6GHz are safe, too
So just use 1.4GHz if you can't get a new phone in case you brick it

Just like a Computer CPU...you should only overclock in small increments..then check for stability.
Personally, i would advice against overvolting the phone..
I keep my phone @ 1.2GHZ..I don't find the need to go beyond this. Then again, i dont play too many games on it
I have "DooMKernel v4" and "Extreme Voltage Control" in the Arc S but did not appear the options to change the voltages. Why?
Installed the JokaWild v3 ROM on my Play and flashed the DooMKerneL v14 ,now i wanna know how to do a safe OC.
I'm using No-frills CPU ,can you tell me the best settings for good and safe OC to XPERIA Play?
Thank you
I dont generally OC my phone beyond 1.2 but you can use this app to run a sereies of tests to determine which OC speed is best for your phone as all phones are different.

I don't overclock mine past 1.4. My play actually reboots if I go 1.6 or more.
I Overclocked my phone to 1.5 and it worked fine. Then tried overclock to 1.6 ,and it's really working good! no bugs ,very fast and the battery stays cool.
I'll stay with my 1.6Ghz overclock ,I think it's enough
What governor / IO scheduler are you guys using? i'm in the same position (jokawild / doomkernel v14 and just installed nofrills cpu) and have read the FAQ, but the version i have seems to have considerably more governors than what has been listed
EDIT: list explaining the governors is here

I'm on SmartassV2.
I once asked this same question ot DoomLord, maker of DoomKernel about which governor and IO to use for best gaming and all around performance.
His recommendation (whihc I have been using since and saw a noticable difference) was to use
Governor: Performance
I/O: BFQ
and I overclock mine to 1.2ghz. My first android phone i oc'd too much, heard a popping noise and BAM.....bu-bye. So I dont go too far..
I generally step up the speed one step at a time until I hit errors that cannot be explained or I get force quits because the phone is running too fast. I suggest going slowly and testing things out but using the governor Performance while the phone is changing. Right now I'm doing okay with smartass v2 at .60/ 1.5 ghz. I might try bumping it up to 1.6 ghz and see how that works tomorrow.

Epic It is like the phone has no battery cuz on this governor, the phone runs at max frequency.

I know I'm mad late, but I was wondering why my phone kept rebooting. I uninstalled all overclocking apps so I thought my profiles would return to normal. Turns out I must have accidentally set the profile to 2ghz max and 2ghz min somehow. My phone was super lagging and thank God it didn't burn out, smh...

I currently have my Play overclocked to 1.6 using the interactive governor. Battery life is great and it runs steady at 60fps in FPSE. Also Mupen64 runs much better. I haven't had any issues with it so far!

What scheduler are you using??
Mine is running fine on 1.4Ghz with SIO scheduler and InteractiveX governor, the bbatery life seems fine as well...
SmartAss always causing lag on me, dunno why...
LUPUS_GB
i use lupus kernel for gb v2 with i/o setting SIO and governor superbad..
and my phone runs well...no lag..
Hey guys ive already overclocked my phone using the lubus gb kernelv12 and i gota say having the extra internal memory (EXTRA 400MB!!!) and the ability to overclock to 1.6ghz is nice, however there are some things i wana ask. Im running at a min 249 and a max of 1613 mhz using no frills cpu with smartassv2 as my governer and noob as be scheduler, it runs miracles in speed, everything i can run at high resolutions and play and top speeds. However i leave my phone like this all the time ( 249mhz 1613 mhz). The smartassv2 governer is ment to only use high cpus when needed, so that in theory means that i wont always be at 1.6ghz. Ive read on other forums keeping your phone overclocked all the time is bad and dangerous but is it really if the max cpu is only being used when needed? In otherwords should i leave it how it is or is it dangerous? My device is an xperia plat btw. :victory:

AFAIK only the Performance gov keeps the phone at the max allowed clock speed (1.6GHz in your case), so it's just fine as it is. You could, however, use an app (the only one I know that does this is SetCPU, there might be others) to make profiles so it'll only be overclocked when playing games/running benchmarks et cetera. This might save you some battery life.
CPU master by antutu allows you to set profiles but you need to buy the pro to do it

Much appriciated for your reply, and thanks button got a smack to.
Greetings. Today I wanted to try overclocking my Wildfire S a510e and my question is: What is the most stable frequency of CPU in this phone (excluding the default one, of course), if someone tried it?
I am using this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683874
I'm at 806. xD It's goin awesome. The battery life is not that cool.... BUT EXCEPT THAT, MY MOBILE IS AWESOME. I mean the speed and flexibility is like Heaven.
245-787 using Performance.
-----------
"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."
Actually i use profiles via setcpu because you dont need performance everytime and of yourse you need your battery all day :laugh: i have 4 profiles..screen off(245-400), charging(787-864),battery is low(600-480) and main (600-824) these are all with"ondemand" and so happy with them :laugh: i used at 864 on performance for hours once and i didnt see any problem but anyway performance is not needed everytime...
245-787 smartass2 or scary and noop or sio
I'm using NoFrills CPU and want to find the right balance between overclocking, performance and battery...
What speeds and governors are everybody using for their Plays?
I'm using 1.2 Ghz max 130 Mhz min with SmartassV2 and sio. All seems okay to me.
I'm using 921mhz-122mhz intellidemand2 with sio governor and everything is smooth + battery is great

1401Mhz Max, 180Mhz Min (when Screen On), 785Mhz Max-180Mhz Min (When Screen Off)

So many different settings!
Was hoping there'd be a 'common' setting that everyone kind of determined was best.
Thank though.
Still interesting, and would like to see what more people are using still.
Mines currently 1.613 Ghz Max, 245 Mhz Min. Virtuous Governor, Noop I/O Scheduler.
On intensive apps I change the max clock to 1.901Ghz however this I don't recommend for most people.
I also only use 1.9Ghz when using Android 2.3.7 with DoomKernel, as only that Kernel seems to allow for voltage changes... Which i apply when using that kind of speed, whereas the default voltages are much higher for that clock than I usually set.
Everyone's Play is different, and not all Plays can sustain high clocks at specific voltages. You need to find your own 'sweet spot'.

Is there an app for that?
No.
You need to increase your clock little by little until you're happy. Then, if you're on GB using DoomKernel you need to lower the voltage as much as you can without it crashing if you want it perfect.
Most people simply oc though and don't bother with the voltages, but it will reduce power consumption and extend the life of your phone with the OC enabled.. As normally running your CPU past its specification will wear it out faster.

As DiKeJ said in his ROM thread:
In my opinion, interactiveX, and frequency of CPU 364.8-1305.6MHz gives awesome stability and performance

:good:
TRUE FACT.
you should use a kernel that allows you to undervolt... there was some article with the galaxy S3, where they tested different settings with OC+UV and YES, Under Volting gives better battery life!!
A lot of people here say, that UV will have no effect on battery, but they have no idea how a processor works... so they just should stfu!!
Hey there
I am just wondering if overlocking may cause a life less for battery or cpu
if not what's the the fastest and safest one for the min and max ?
thx
Maybe you wanted to overclock it? Don't think that overlocking your phone will do any good.
I know that the overclock is bad for the processor´s life but no in battery , so i don´t recommend you use overclock , it use more battery , if you are looking for speed and stability , do something diferent . I use my phone always in under clock and genrally i can use it for 2 days without charge it , but it have good speed and stabilty (on demand 122-480) :laugh:
If you want performance with good use of battery try changing the governor for Smartass V2, min: 122 and max: 600. If you have SmartassH3, better
Thank u for u reccomandation...i tryied what u said and in 1 hour only 2% battery drain(phone was idle) btw thank u.....
Sent from my LG-P350 using xda app-developers app
U can safely oc any cm7 rom to over 700mhz if u planin' to play some chalengin games, otherwise it's beter to stay within max freq around 600, and play with governors for performance or battery life. See some kernels with better governor support.

Ok thank u.....but gaming also drain battery so i dont play them.....
