Overclocking questions - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So i thought i understood the concept of oc'ing but i guess i need to be educated. I am currently running phantom's blazer 0.3.1 ICS rom and agat's newest kernel from source with smart ass governor. I have setcpu and don't have the ability to over clock. I also had tegrak but it wouldn't boot with any oc settings i tried. Any help or information would be appreciated.

From what I understand you can't over clock with it at the moment when I was reading Agat's thread.. Also another thing to watch for it when you over clock, not to make it extreme because over time is can basically fry your phone

*Apologies I ran over to the thread again and somebody over clocked with tegrak..

How much over did you go with Tegrak? Also Tegrak has that deal where you have to apply the settings at boot to prevent boot loops and such. Did it hang up when you would hit apply or was something different happening?

I would overclock to 1.253 and not touch the volts at all. It would stick when it went through the stability test and before i restarted i ran quadrant and got a horrible score. Once i reboot it applies on boot but fails shortly there after during the stability test. This has happened with every setting i have tried...at up to 1.4.

[q] want a rom with overclock built in...

Can anyone tell me the best rom that comes with an overclocked kernal built in? Looking for a kernal that has killer battery life also. I've been looking but i'm new to the dinc and am not sure what the best one is. I tried to install a custom ziggy kernal with incredibly re-engineered installed but it started rebooting every time it started up... Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Did you read everything before flashing ziggy's kernel? this is quoted from his site. did you have setcpu installed before you flashed?
NOTE1: If you’re having problems, please uninstall/disable SetCPU and any init scripts first. A lot of the issues are OC related. If everything works fine after doing that, slowly start over-clocking, if not, please post. Once the problem speed is found, report it, but most likely, it’s a voltage issue, not all phones/processors are equal. Since these kernels have snq-’s VDD sysfs interface, you can modify the VDD levels yourself. If there are any Java developers that would like to tackle the task of writing a program to assist, please do, I’ll help as much as I can
oh and make sure you dl the right kernel its the bottom 2 on his page. i made that mistake earlier today. tryed loading a bravo kernel and my phone got stuck in the splash screen

Incredibly re-engineered comes with Lou's #8 kernel, which is my understanding that it already has pre-configured screen off speeds, governor etc. It could be as simple as a wipe cache/dalvik that would solve your problem.
Other than that, i'm curious as to why you are looking into OC when you want killer battery? Those don't go together
Ok. I missed the setcpu statement. Ill try that... and I want to oc because this inc wont play the only game I play worth a crap compared to my old x... homerun battle 3d... im hoping that will help...

lock ups

In the past week have just rooted my inc2, flashed OMGB rom and Tiamat 1.1.0 kernel. I also loaded SetCPU from the market. I can't go over 1.036ghz without the phone locking up and having to do a battery pull. When the phone is back on I only have a few seconds to open SetCPU and lower the OC rate or the phone will lock again. I wiped cache/davlik cache before flashing kernel. What am I doing wrong? I have seen in the Tiamat thread in the development forum that people are going as high as 1.9ghz with out a problem. I would only like to get 1.2ghz to 1.3ghz because I read that this is a safe range. I do have have the governor set at Smartass. Thank you for your input.

Go back to the kernel thread look for the voltage table. The voltage levels are too low at the overclock levels, that what's causing your freeze ups. Use incredicontrol app from the market to adjust the voltage levels. You want to mirror the settings to match those of the previous version of the kernel
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
Thanks tnez, I found chads post about incredicontrol and sounded like it only worked on ver 1.0.4, will it work on ver 1.1.0 also.
How bad is this freezing for the phone? If I ever get really stuck will booting into recovery and reflashing omgb fix it or using the nandroid backup I created before flashing the kernel? Still new to all the rooting and custom roms and kernels, lots of fun but still have the fear of bricking the phone.
I'm fairly new myself but have been using SetCPU for a while. Make sure the "Set on Boot" option is unchecked until you find a setting that will work for your phone. As far as the nandroid, restore is your friend!! lol I've made many mistakes in the past that have totally locked up my phone and the restore option from recovery has saved me every time. There is always a chance that you can damage your phone but as time has gone by the devs have really made that possibility minimal

The app works on any kernel that supports adjustable voltages.
Both methods will work to undo things. Either restore or re flash the rom. But like stated above don't select the set on boot option until you find settings that work good on your phone.

Thanks again tnez, I installed incredicontrol and made the changes to the voltages so far so good. I have gone to 1.19ghz with no problems after the voltage changes. Is there app that can be used to test for stability or is just using the phone the way to test for stability.

You can do it by use....open up different apps very quick and switch between them...basically trying to over load the phone by making it multi task at a high level. set cpu also has a built in stress test under the info tab, run that for a few mins. I usually do the stress test for 3-5 mins followed by a quadrant test.

In regards to Tiamat, there have been a ton of people say that downgrading back to 1.0.4 Tiamat fixed the issue of the phone locking up when overclocked. If all else fails from what you have been recommended, try that!

voltages just need to be changed and made to match 1.0.4 for the kernel to run like a champ

The Blu Kuban rom, lag on everything I do!?!?!?!

I'm running the blu kuban rom overclocked to 1.4 and min set to 200! I do have a few mods transparent status bar, center clock, and gray battery bar. Every time I click something open or to something there is a lag. Its the same with the screen rotation and lock screen. I tried to re-flashing and got the same results. Anyone else having the same problem?

Maybe you are having issues with the kernel you are using, or your overclock is unstable. Take it to stock speeds and see what it does.

Similar to what this guy said I have had problems with certain governors. Everytime I use Smartassv2 that is exactly how my phone acts... Try pegasusQ
But of course you haven't seen anything yet until you've been on the "goodness"
Blu Kuban is awesome as well of Course. TW vs. AOSP is all personal preference.
Overclocking above 1300 can get unstable try a Max of 1300 and play around with the governors to see what you like best. The kuban kernel has many to choose from. TW is not crap that is a personal opinion. Just play around with different roms until you find one you like best.

Wow, talk about an inflammatory, biased, opinionated, and unhelpful comment. I like pa, but is it really necessary to jump in a thread like this to bash another ROM and promote your own?
To answer the question that was asked, I would try reducing the clock speed. Setting it that high usually results in lag and instability. Not to mention overclocking is rather unnecessary for this phone since most apps are optimized for much slower devices. (my opinion anyhow) I would recommend 1.3 or lower and change your governor to Wheatley, hyper, pegasus, or Skywalker. I have found those to be the most stable and lag free.
1.4 woah there lol
Yeah try knocking that down.. I run at 1,000 and have zero lag what so ever..

I take it you now have everything running smoothly. If so, happy to be of service.
That's the 1st time I've EVER read something negative about Blu Kuban...def has to be the user and not the ROM

[Q] GNex Reboots when running certain apps

I'm currently running PA 3.6 and the AK Diamond kernel. 99% of the time, everything works fine, however when I start running Puzzle & Dragons, the phone gets really hot and more often than not will reboot before I finish playing. I have also tried using the AK Kubo (stable) kernel, and it does the same. I'm kind of a noob so I don't tweak the kernel settings very much, and I don't really know how to go about fixing this. One thing to note is that on the stock PA 3.6 kernel the phone still gets really hot but it won't reboot. I'd like to keep using the AK kernel as it makes my phone run really smoothly but I would also like to try and fix this problem.
The sole common point to that whole story is Puzzle and Dragons.

Are you saying that AK kernel and P&D just don't get along? Because although it gets hot, on PA 3.6 with its stock kernel it won't forcibly reboot my phone like it does with AK. I've found a temporary workaround which is to switch the governor to powersave while playing...but that doesn't really fix the issue...

No, it's just the kernel that doesn't "like" your cpu.

lol
there's this thing called quality of the components used; the chinese can make the best and the worst.
every chip handles the tasks that are required of them yes, but that's why you see devices that can OC to 1.6, 1.7 even 1.8ghz stable, or UV like a boss, and others that can't handle even 1.6ghz oc or huge UVs.
for example, mine can UV like a boss, but not so good at OC'ing.
thermal throttling of the cpu might be more agressive with some kernels.

[Kernel][2.268GHz][4.1.2][11/19/13] Iced_Kernel 1.9Ghz

Hello XDA peoples, Today, 11/19/13, I update the OP with my _ICED_KERNEL_ vs. MeltDown

Check out my Git pages @ hallovveen31 and check the changes I made to the stock kernel at your leisure.
_to kernel devs or beginning kernel devs, click here_
I am still fixing my git hub right now looks like I switched repositories and made a few commits the wrong way like didnt show records quite right because of the mix. however I am going to fix that later I just realized this after looking to see if I made the kernel go to 1.89 ghz while booting up for a faster boot =] so no worries to you up and coming kernel devs I will show you how I did it on git the right way. to regular users this means nothing special to you. git is just a record of the files and text code in those files to share with others, which I def want to do since I couldn't find the coding for oc up to 1890mhz and would love to share that.

WARNING: nothing ever is my fault, period. if this kernel harms your phone because you overclock your device @ 2268MHz for three months, its your fault, duh. Anyway, the device would sleep and cool down.. So you would have to try pretty hard to cause damages...

Hey Rushing, just tried this on top of JMT8 (with super cache wipe/twrp 2.6.1) and WiFi seems to be broken! Toggle in settings will not stay in ON position. Flashed back to twrp 2.6.0 because of your instructions and tried again (no cache wipe),same result. Flashed back to Tiberious 2.1 (no cache wipe) and phone booted up with WiFi on and working again.

Okay, thanks for testing I likely will never have time to flash all the ROMs and test compatibility.
I will take another stab at it. this time around all the modules will be deleted and replaced
where as in the first version the modules were expected to flash over the old ones which i guess doesnt always werk as leftovers may be uncompatible.
new build 1.1 is up thanks for testing let me know of success or failure please..
the new build works for me on my own ROM.
Wi-fi working fine here but I'm also using Rushing's Shad0w ROM. (1.1 version of kernel)
Just out of curiosity, Rushing, which of your ROMs do you use as your daily on the hercules?
Just tried 1.1 and WiFi still won't turn on with JMT8, obviously compatibility issue between the 2 of some sort. Per @aahz, kernel appears compatible with your roms Rushing. To continue the test, I'm going to flash my Shadow 1.6 nandroid tomorrow and then try 1.0 and 1.1 both just to see (and confirm). Looking forward to your next Hercules rom brother, Later
