Enable undervolting. - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have finally got round to taking control of my Play. Unlocked my bootloader, rooted, applied DooMKernel v14 and now have Gin2JelllyBean rom.
I've already managed to squeeze a day more battery life thanks for SetCPU down clocking while the screen is off. Now id like to look at undervolting.
From what I read, there should be an undervolting option active in SetCPU but it's not there. I thought DooMKernel supported this, so firstly I just wanted to ask if there is anything I need to do to activate it or if might have gone wrong somewhere?
Thanks in advance.

I have SetCPU too and it doesn't let me change the voltages. I am using IncrediControl for changing them, and it works

OC/UV Beater2 v1.7, allows setting voltages in an init.d script, so there aren't any unnecessary services running on boot

Thanks for the suggestions guys I will check them out.
Still confused why I can't use SetCPU though.

Be careful u dervolting, can actually decrease battery life. Never set undervolts to run at boot.

[Q]Modifying the maximum overclock with a kernel

Hey, I have a Glide running INC3PETION v1 and using the latest ardatdat kernel, and I was wondering if there is any way for me to change the overclock in said kernel. It is currently set to 1.2ghz but I want to bump it up a tiny bit to maybe 1.3ghz or (if it's safe) 1.4ghz. This is so I can watch some video files (mkv) without having the bad audio lag issues. I would not be having it overclocked at that speed all the time, only for short periods. The only thing preventing me from just keeping a copy of cranium (I think it's cranium) on my sd is portability. The only kernel I know of that is OC'd higher than ardatdat hasn't fixed the data counter issue. And it needs Odin. I would like to be able to just go into CWM and flash my extra OC'd kernel when I need it. As a last thought, I think ardatdat has stopped (or paused) development so if this is at all possible, help is greatly appreciated.

You can try to download no frills CPU control.should be able to overclock when you need it then, just make sure you have root (su)

@above Still, the max is set to 1.2
Side question: say I don't want to install a separate app: what files should I have to mod to select the governor and maximum frequency?
Thanks.

Make your own thread for your own question... I'm looking for an answer to my problem and I don't need constant notifications about yours. Thanks.
And just to clarify, I have an overclocking app already. What I'm looking for is how to change the max clock speed that is set in the kernel. Or just a kernel that has it already raised above 1.2. I need the data counter fixed though, no matter what.

Its only happening in mx when I play mkv. Its a known speed issue with the player. Also, I really don't like the theme on v2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
If it's a known speed issue with the app, why would changing the oc on the kernel affect it? Think about, the general audience for the app don't have OC kernels. It is supposed to work without OC. I think just an update to the app will fix it.
I'll see if I can unpack boot.img for the kernel, anyway
Well you see it's an issue with older phones. And mine has had a bit of an issue with speed simply because of some of the apps I have running. That's why I wanted to do this. Its hardware limitations. I just worded it wrong.

Isnt it just easier to kill the running apps before playing the video, than setting another oc just to play it. your reasons for doing these are too strange...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
Except that the running apps are ones that I cannot kill? My Data monitor, antivirus, facebook (which I would like to kill but cannot) as well as a few others are what slow it down. Besides, I just would like to see how well the videos run at a higher clock. Simple curiosity is probably the best way to explain it.

sorry same here I don't know how to help you. I was just trying to help you out and close different applications that are open in the backround. What I usually do is log off certain applications like facebook and other ones I actually turned around and uninstall anything that stays resident and in memory this way I know that my phone is not running any non essential application in the background.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
I expect you'd need to modify the source of the kernel to support a higher max OC, and then you'd need to build the kernel from source. I didn't spot the source for any of the kernels on our phone at a glance, but I didn't look too hard, if you track one down it should be fairly straightforward.
Ah ok. And getting the tools to do so is a piece of cake, so I suppose that's what I'll have to do. Thanks for your help!

[Q] AOKP w/ Ktoonsez kernel CPU stuck at maximum frequency

ive been running ICS since i got my phone, the battery life was horrible until i fixed the power profile, but even after that my phone's battery was not that good. i decided to flash CM10, then i switched to AOKP, both of them are awesome, but i noticed that the battery wasnt that good either, i got the ktonnsez kernel. i tried other governors, they all stay at maximum (1512MHz) after about 5 minutes of a reboot. i tried basically everything, reflash every thing, wiped everything possible. I need help plz, i wanna enjoy my S3 without worrying about the battery dying.
its all normal when i start my phone, but after 5 minutes it just stays at maximum CPU...idk why plz help im on galaxy s3 ATT i747M...i searched everywhere but still didnt find the answer
If you flashed kt747 you need to use the ktweaker app that comes with the kernel. When you find this app you need to check the two boxes into general settings

Try a different governor. Personally I use on demand and noop for the scheduler.
Make sure you don't have any other overclocking programs which may be conflicting. I used to use SetCPU but with the toonz kernel I get Ktweaker. So I got rid of SetCPU.
Funny yours is locking at maximum. Mine used to lock at 96Mhz and run like crap. The above method worked for me. Don't forget to make sure your running the most updated kernel, wipe cache/dalvik/fix permissions.

Tyvm, i did what u told me and its working for now, i was using ktweaker the whole time, but i like to check my current speed in ROM control, idk why maybe cuz the numbers are bigger? ;P im still not sure if its going to work for a long time, i did a reflash yesterday, i charged my phone at 100 percent last night, and it was sitting on low frequency, when i woke up, i was suprised to see a 6% drop of the battery, leaving me 94% left. but the speed was at 1512. and cell standby was using most of the battery.

TY, ive tried switching governors before and it didnt work. But when i tried this morning, it worked... really strange.
Idk if it will last long, my phone likes to jump around from normal to maximum without me even touching the phone
Use ktweaker instead of the rom settings. Go to the performance section in settings and disable set on boot. Then, go to ktweaker and set as "apply settings immediately after boot". Once you're done, set to whatever you want it to be.

I'm taking a look at the SetXperia configuration and it modifies the following file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
First column are the frequency steps in hertz and the second column is the voltage for each step in mV.
You can use SetXperia too!
I know that, but the values dont save for boot.
Thats the problem.
Maybe you should ask in the kernel thread because that's a kernel feature. Wedgess probably will know the answer.
I'm on LupuS kernel as well. The Perm Activate button on Oc/uv beater 1.7 seems to work for me.

Gpu overclock

I know. Its all for.research purposes anyway
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure if note2core supports stweak but that's the app you need to over clock. There are other but I prefer this one. It will give you a maximum slide to 1800mhz and also tons of other features such as adjusting charging amp, under volting including for the gpu as well. There's not much to know about over clocking as its pretty straight forward but you can change the xpu governor and the number of cores you want activated and how you want them to activate based on your usage. Under volting will help with both temperature and battery life although I find the changes almost insignificant, but you should try it out. If you want to undervolt start with around - 25mv.
Sent from the rabbit hole.
You are talking about cpu not gpu
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Okay it's not that different. Just over clock it and undervolt at the same time to - 25mv and then download an app called stabilitytest from play store. Run it for 10minutes and see if you get any error. If not then further lower the voltage to - 50mv. But usually - 25 is good. I noticed that anything higher clocks peed than 5xxmhz starts causing error and graphic glitches.

Neighborhoodhacker's Kernel: 3.4 CM based Kernel w/ Overclock and more

This is a kernel I have made based off of the Gproject kernel for CM.
Features:
10/25
Added wheatley and smartmax governors. As many TCP congestion options as one could ask for. A couple other small things.
10/24-4
Fix CM compatibility break. Bye bye LSD effect
10/24-3
The kernel package is now using an implementation of koush's anykernel.
I suggest for those who are having any issue to flash back to their ROM image (don't delete data). Then reflash using this. It uses the ramdisk already present on the device so it might break less things
10/24-2
Reset the GPU min freq to stock so that we don't lose battery
10/24
GPU OC extended for to 585Mhz. Woot woot.
10/23
1.89Ghz if you dare MWAHAHAHA
10/22
162Mhz was a little bit hopeful so I got rid of the frequency because without that we seem to lose the HW resets. Overclock still seems to work fine Antutu 20200.
10/21
Overhauled the CPU frequency range. We now have stable OC to 1.81 and UC to 162Mhz. Depending on the application you can toy with intellithermal settings to get the best performance from that situation.
Edit: not so stable at 1.81 I lied go for 1.72 for now (always forced to eat my words)
10/17
Quite a few changes. We have an updated wifi driver as well as an updated graphics driver. I added gamma control. Simple GPU governor is now set to default for battery savings and by that one can imply obviously it is working now. FIOPS scheduler added. A few minor things.
9/30-2
removed knock knock by farbuggy
9/30
Okay so I am really really really hoping this one rids SOD's good. Also I added a knock on interface. Until it gets implemented into the systemui of a rom though it will only work while screen is off. (It's a work in progress and the knock on ability is disablable though the file /sys/kernel/knock_knock/knock_knock_enabled[1 = on, 0 = off]) This I believe is the first custom kernel to have any kind of knock on type interface. So far it's just been made up for by showp-1985's s2w.
9/29
Tweaked undervolt so hopefully we can say goodbye to SOD's. I have had success with lower settings but this should cover a broader base. If anyone get's an SOD with these settings, let me know and I will update the kernel ASAP.
9/28
Added undervolt by default and faux123 mako's implementation of sweep2wake. It doesn't show in tricksters mod but you can turn it on and off in sysfs through the file /sys/kernel/s2w_parameters/s2w_switch. (1 = on, 0 = off)
9/27
Ummm let's see... Today we got: GPU Overclock to 487Mhz, intelli-thermal from faux123, and a couple little things here and there .
Edit: I added a little more there is now an adjustable voltage table and the phone defaults with intelliplug and intellithermal
9/26
Intellidemand doesn't control hotplugging anymore. That functionality is moved to intelliplug. I think we have hotplugging and performance now let me know all! (mpdecision still enabled by default, go to trickster and see the new additions )
9/25
Faux sound control.
Intellidemand. (mpdecision should be turned off to utilize this feature properly)
Extended CPU frequency range (192Mhz - 1728Mhz)

Maybe it has something to do with MPDecision or temp throttling? I know in the past I've seen other kernels have some issue at first with fully disabling it, causing it to continue to interfere with some settings.

I'm not an expert on governors but with intellidemand (on our other roms) my optimal freq and sync freq were usually like 702mhz. Stock this kernel puts it at 192mhz. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not sure what these fields even mean. I'd like to know if anyone has any info.
I'm running the kernel anyway and so far so good. Thank you NeighborhoodHacker for this great kernel.
edit: I just tested Asphalt 8 and so far this kernel holds frame rates really well!! I don't if I was doing something wrong before, but for the longest time this game was unplayable for me.
