[Q] How to check gpu clock? (Franco Kernel) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello all.
I flashed franco's kernel after coming from the Trinity kernel which supported 512mhz GPU clock. Now being limited to a lower gpu clock in franco was worth the features, but the latest Milestone 4 kernel states that the GPU was OC'd a bit up to 384MHz. But when I open franco.kernel updater app, and go to the CORE (gpu) UV, I only see options to UV the gpu up till 307mhz, there is no 384mhz does that mean the the gpu is running at 307mhz max?
How can I see the current gpu clock?

Hmm yea I remember that when I flashed Milestone 4 there was no 384/512 Mhz in Core UV. I'm with r190 and I see 384Mhz in Core UV too.
I suggest you to flash r190 it's completely stable and better than Milestone 4

I just flashed it, and the option is now available. I am just worried of the in-call volume bug

[Q] Overclocking GPU?

Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before but I can't find an answer to this question
I am currently running AOKP and trinity kernel, 1344mhz (cpu) and 499mhz (gpu). After installing the kernel, I manually went into ROM control, and increased the CPU to 1344mhz - set on boot. That was the CPU overclocked
However, I can't figure out how to overclock the GPU? I have run a benchmark, and it seems to still be at stock, and not 499mhz - how do I set it to the 499mhz that the kernel allows?
Thanks

There is a command that you can run from terminal on your phone but I can't think of it right now. Also, a bit of searching seems that there is an app. I haven't tested to see if it works, but it says it OCs the CPU AND GPU. Look for Overclocking(GPU + CPU) in google.

That one apparently doesn't work.. have also tried Antutu CPU Master pro but it doesn't support GPU overclocking on the Galaxy Nexus...
Afaik, gpu oc is only available, if built-in the kernel. Userland controlled gpu oc must be supported by the kernel first, thats probably why antutu pro master or any other app still can't do it.

[Q] Franco Kernel - Magically Changing CPU

I've been using Franco kernel for a long time now, on various ROMs. My current ROM is JBSourcery (4.1.1); I've always had this problem though, no matter if the kernel was on a milestone build or nightlies. The Max cpu and governor change almost randomly! I'll set the max cpu to 1536 or 1612 and after a few hours or a few minutes it changes on its own!
For example, I changed the CPU to 1612 max and 384 min with 'interactive' governor.
Later that day (less than an hour later) it starts lagging like crazy, so I look at the settings and it's changed to 1036 max, 728 min and the 'ondemand' governor. This happens frequently, usually after I've locked it for awhile, and reopened it. It's starting to drive me crazy!
I have "set cpu settings on boot" checked, as well as "set governor control on boot" This is happening on all the kernel versions I've tried so far, including 262, 264, 268 and Milestone5. What on earth is going on?!
dmesg or it never happened
post in franco's thread, way better chances of getting his/other users attention than here.

then its your rom thats broken, probably doesnt have the powerhal fix. some cpu control apps include the fix in the app for that reason, like the trinity kernel toolbox app. i dont think francos app includes it. or the fix could be as simple as updating your busybox.

Thanks! I'll try the trinity toolkit for a week and see what happens.

What's your Min CPU setting?

Hi,
Just putting out a question to those that tweak their Gnex cpu settings. What minimum mhz do you use that would still provide great response and yet saves battery?
Currently I am running min cpu @ 307mhz with Trinity Kernel.

Using 230mhz on Franco no problems with signal and the phone wakes up nice and fast.

Stock GNex voltages

Hello,can someone please help me by telling me the stock voltages for the CPU,GPU and IVA? I have freezes with the basic voltages in franco's kernel SmartReflexand enabled.
I saw that some voltages from the CPU are decreased from the stock ones. I think my phone can't handle those voltages(maybe something chip-related) and I want the stock voltages and franco's kernel tweaks too
Im on AOKP milestone 1 (4.1.2) and franco's r300 kernel.

Up the voltages yourself until device is stable. And its indeed related to your chip quality.

I just disabled the SmartReflex option in franco's kerenel and my device is working like it never did,hope it will remain like this )

I thought you knew the stock voltages, seeing how you mentioned that franco's voltages are decreased
Anyway here it is.

those are exactly the ones that I knew,i need for the CORE and IVA :-/
I dont think franco's messed around with core and iva, only cpu voltages.

I overvolted each freq in CORE with about 50 mV and the games that use to have many little freezes,now they don't i probably need to overvokt IVA aswell. The only thing that slutters now is when watching a video,and sometines when scrolling thru desktop pages and appdrawer pages.
That's what i said.

Is there any kernel just to overclock the gpu not the cpu?

You can use any custom overclocked kernel from forum and set cpu clocking frequency to stock i.e 2.1 ghz and overclock gpu frequency as per your need using kernel adiutor app. You may find app link on custom kernel thread page.

Over clocking will always produce more heating. Usually Custom Kernel which allows OC comes with tweaks to thermal management to counter that as much as possible.
