[Q] (SOLVED!) Overclock the Defy?

*SOLVED*
Milestone Overclock - a free download from the marketplace does now support the Defy. Quadrant shows promising figures for sure.
Just wondering whether anyone has gotten the Defy to Overclock?
I've been trying some Droid Overclock apps as well as purchasing Set CPU.
I've successfully rooted my phone which is a requirement for enabling overclocking features. Set CPU won't even start.
None of the apps I've tried have been working properly.
Any tips?

in developement
Look on the milestone overclock googlecode page, its on the todo list

good to know

Yepp, thanx a lot. Since the chipset has clear OC potential this will be very interesting. Especially if the Defy has an omap3630 core, we'll see.

I'm pretty confident that it does indeed have a 3630: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9540564&postcount=34
Not only because of the screenshot from windows, but look at how close it is to the Droid X, running a 1ghz 3630.

Wow! and getting that benchmark score while running on 800MHz is quite impressive. I've got good hopes that a ported Milestone Overclock will unleash the raw power the phone truly possess.

And this is not the best defy can do. Actually 1117 has been reported from 2 users (one is me).

Im not sure how this phone is so amazing, and so cheap at the same time
umm yeah anyways, just wanted to say i got quadrant scored of around 1110 to 1118 ish i think- after task killing
Really hoping for some custom 2.2 roms in the near future, like some others said it will make this probably -one of- the best androids out there

weeeeell to be fair there was a little cheat there, that was with JIT enabled. But JIT by the standard method wasn't stable, at first it was fine but then after ab out an hour I started to get random force closes, so I reverted. Its a little insight to what can be achieved with JIT. IMO I'll take JIT over a 1GHZ overclock.

Could anyone of you guys share your benchmark results after running Milestone Overclock? I'm now running on 1.2GHz and it's stable

My first benchmark result was in mid 1000 but after a restart I got that score too.

To use JIT is better wait for froyo because have it in native form. There are a appl called JITTER in the market but I think that isn't reliable. (I don't know about other appl similar than)
Now I use the Milestone Overclock beta4 and configure the oc at 1000/56
Someone have better configuration to use? Can explain why?

Hey guys.. Overclocked my Defy with the Milestone Overclock. 1200/66
Got a 1438 benchmark on Quadrant Standard. Putting the vsel any lower got my Device to reboot.
After trying it out I switched back to 1000/52 because some users said that running on 66vsel could damage the CPU.
Main effect I had: Launcher runs very smooth, My battery life went down to 24 hours (37h before).
With 1000/52 I still get a benchmark around 1247
Works for me because I´m saving battery and still got enough power to have a smooth launcher.
But: Can anyone please tell me what the standard settings are ? *lol* Forgot them 800Mhz an vsel=???
Thx in advance.

Someone in the other thread was running 800/38, I haven't tried it because like you 1000/52 gives me better battery life than stock and more power on top.

Or do I just have to click on "unload module" for that ?!? (I gues that´s it I was just to blind/dumb to see it *lol*)

Im currently running 1100MHZ with a 58vsel, seems stable so far and got a quadrant benchmark of 1317. But i am wondering if this setting is safe for long term use, I need my phone to last till the end of this conract

10 hour battery life

ive had my evo for about a week now and ive been getting 10 to 13 hours of battery life at 10 hours im usually at 30% but anyway i was wondering was that natural because ive seen some ppl complain about battery life

It all depends on how much you use your phone and what apps you use to try and extend battery life
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

My roomate gets about 14-16 hours of good use out of his. Only thing really turned off besides no widgets is GPS. Texts atleast 100 a day, Internet, XDA, facebook a few calls. Stock also. My Nexus I get around 20-22 hours with everything on, maybe 100 text, XDA, Internet, no widgets.
So yes it does happen.

well when i got 10 hours i was stock no apps to help improve battery had my home screen full od widgets and live wallpaper

Thats normal for a non rooted phone.

that is my favorite screenshot ever
10 hours is good enough, I generally go wake to bed and charge at night which is around 15-16 hours with moderate use.

Thats normal...I got en extended battery because I use my phone a lot during the day. Now waiting on my otterbox defender to see if somehow I can make it fit with the extended battery

I usually average 1day 12hrs on my phone, I recently hit 3 days, and I was like

I have a friend there...I'll contract him out for some gummies.
But hopefully it works for you. Also, calibrate the battery after switching roms the first time [if you try it]:
-Charge evo to 100%
-Boot into recovery, wipe battery stats
-Let the evo die [so that it manually turns off]
-Charge back to 100%, then use as normal

got the calibration down, always have 3.3.7 sbc, but I can't underclock adw at all. On my phone I need to overclock to 1113 on interactive governor to get the lag out of the app drawer. trying vipermod tonight... tell your friend to stay put until I get a couple days out of this

I don't know if you'd be fine with switching launchers, but this is exactly why I refused to use ADW. Launcher Pro is close enough to being the same as ADW with zero lag. I was buttery smooth with zero lag while UNDERclocking at 768mhz when I ran launcher pro with salvagemod. Interactive governor as well. Try it out!

Fair enough. Also, I use the smartass governor and launcher pro, and I get zero lag; its worth a try.

I get about 3 hours, sometimes more. It's a recent development. Don't know why. Deck's ROM with included kernel. Haven't tried ViperBoy's scripts. I can watch the battery stats tumble. I even properly calibrated it. Good times!

GPS is a real battery killer, or at least it seems like it to me. Makes a big difference turning it off when i don't use it (90% of the time). Only thing i really miss out on is my weather location changing but it's a small price to pay

something is up with that. you either have a really bum battery or have some wake lock issues. Are you restoring anything with Titanium Backup?
Good times indeed, maybe try a different ROM or at least a different kernel

I only have Wifi and 3G on. GPS I rarely use because I usually know where I'm going.
My wakelocks are all pretty low so far. Maybe 46 seconds.
Last week, I was getting 14 hours of battery life. Could it be the new Google Apps?

lol, unfortunately not true though. there are a few that know how.
i just think that anybody running at 1802mhz should know how to propery use it or not be allowed to run that high of an oc. i mean, the op isnt getting any benefit from it unless you call a higher rate of battery loss a benefit. learn how to benefit from a high oc like this, or dont use it. its pointless to show off that youre using a high oc if a slightly oc'd(1344mhz kernel) can run laps around your phone. dont get me wrong, i know that franco kernel is capable, but this does it no justice.

try them all, or a few different kernels at least. every phone is different, and will react differently to different kernels. also, just because you can oc to 1802, doesnt mean that your phone will properly handle it. at this point, it looks like you arent getting any of the gain from this high oc(some loss actually), but are going through your battery like you are. first off, at that high oc, turn off thermal throttling if you are going to benchmark. play with adjusting voltages until you find your sweet spot at that oc. try ocing less too, your phone might not like 1802, or 1700, or 1600.. not many phones do. also, when you benchmark, benchmark with your hiest cpu speed/highest cpu speed(1802/1802) so that you dont scale and actually bench 1802mhz.

Not even worth overclocking honestly.
Only for benchmark scores, your phone most likely doesn't run that much faster.

funny, only people that dont overclock say that, i guess they really do believe it for themselves. but in reality, there is a difference. if its a slight overclock, its not that different. when its a big overclock, the difference can be dramatic.

I have overclocked before, I've done it before on the GNex as well.
I mean it was a huge increase of ability to a single core phone and early dual cores but for a phone already seemingly perfect on the software side, the phone already screams as stock clock speeds.
Besides, is it worth the probable loss of battery life? A marginally higher benchmark score? Things opening 1 or 2ms faster?
This is all just my opinion, I have no hard facts behind all this, but at least in my own personal testing and experimenting, there was no obvious benefit.
Provided you might be right, I've never OC'ed past 1.5, but beyond that, what's the effect on the health of the hardware, and like I said, battery life?
I could be totally wrong and I'm not against admitting being wrong.
Just personal preference I guess.

agreed. i myself use stock frequencies on franco kernel i've used almost all kernels and roms possible but now i've stuck with aokp n franco smooth even when under-clocked to 1 Ghz. i find no point of oc'ing other than just benchmarking usually get 3.4-3.3K on quadrant with normal freq.

Hot phone after switching kernel

First I like to point out that this is my first android phone, coming from Apple. So I'm fairly new to this phone moding thing.
Well as the tittle suggest, my phone feels kinda hot after
installing Faux's kernel. I when to sleep with the phone at about 90%~ And 45 mins on battery. Woke up 5 hrs later with battery at 24% and 4h 30 mins until empty. I know that I need to give it time for the system to rebuilt a cache for me to see true battery savings like many of you are posting.
Is this a common thing when switching from a stock kernel? Or will the phone always feels hot?

It shouldn't be running hot nor be draining that much idle, i'm assuming you have a rogue app. Look at your battery stats, your phone should only be awake while the screen is on, unless listening to music or something. If the awake bar is solid across that's no good. Means the phone is not entering sleep mode. Ironically mine just did this today lol, it happens from time to time. Try a simple reboot and then let the phone sit idle and see if it sleeps via the battery menu in settings. If it is, then good your set. If not, get better battery stats from the play store and it will tell you exactly what is running and keeping your phone awake.
Edit: here's a pic of my battery stats today where something went rogue and kept the phone awake, notice the solid awake bar until I rebooted and then it functioned properly where only awake with screen n, and a bit with the screen of as I was streaming pandora. This is what you do NOT want your battery stats to look like. Like I said, if it does, try a simple reboot

Edit 2: the bottom of the phone will feel a bit warm when being used, especially with high brightness, gps, downloading, games etc. This is normal as the cpu is located there. If it's hot or warm while idle, that's not the norm.

Thanks. But I'm suspecting that is the ROM I was using. I'm going to do a full restore and reflash everything.

Its not the rom..thats impossible! Its has to be the kernel go get ktoonz 9-23 and u will be fine and u can oc to 2.1

Well I was on the Faux's kernel, with the High on Android ROM. I reset everything back to stock ROM / stock kernal, facotry reset and the phone no longer feels hot. But my Play store is not connecting(guess when I flash the gapps it'll come back).
The ktoonz kernel was the first one i tried but it felt kinda laggy and was the reason why I switch to Faux's. Now I'm looking for another ICS ROM that is not all crazy(I liked how simple the High on Android was), and I guess I'll give Ktoonz a try.
What app is good to use with the Ktoonz kernel? Battery manage wise I like the GSM battery mod. I downloaded Better battery status but it never showed me anything on the screen(even after 15mins) like GSM did.

I used to run fauxs and my phone would run hot.. After a month there were no new updates and figure he stopped development.
Went to kt and couldn't be happier. Can oc more, under volt more my phone couldn't be faster and never overhears unless I'm playing a game for a whole.
Kt also is actively developing with a new release every 5-10 days and he is very active in troubleshooting
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Not only was my phone overheating, but the battery was also draining like crazy. In about 30 mins of the phone just being idle I lost about 6-8% of the battery life.

So I switched to The Ariel ROM and the Ktoonz kernel. So far no problems. Going to see how battery life is on the default kernel settings before messing around with voltage. All I have changed so far is the I/O, the governor, and the screen off max mhz to 486

Using the 9-23 build, LTE disabled on Bell JB leak LI3 (only options are GSM only or WCDMA only... I've tried both, both get me 2Mbps speed when LTE gets me 30Mbps in Kingston)..... my phone drains faster than it charges on a USB port, or in a car, and takes ALL night to get to get 100%.
I unplug, eat breakfast, and I'm down to 86% this morning with a piping hot phone. I can feel it through my work uniform.
Lame.
Very lame. Bell won't help. Samsung won't help.
Bell: Disable LTE, its a known issue.
Samsung: It has to do with Bells LTE towers. It's your provider, contact them.
I'm getting extremely frustrated.

I get these types of problems constantly with my S2 (Bell, completely stock). Recently I installed CPU Spy from the play store and low and behold the phone is not going to deep sleep. Sometimes the processor will lock at 1.2Ghz and pretty much burn a hole in my pocket. A reboot fixes it, temporarily.
I advise you to install CPU spy (free) and check out what the processor is doing over time. Could be a app causing the phone to do this as well

Very low geekbench score.

I recently purchased z2 and ran geekbench, single core score was around 1700 but multicore didn't even crossed 3000, I have used stock and now I am using aokp ROM both have same result.
Could you please recommend a good stable ROM, with good camera and slow motion recording and stable and smooth usage, thanks.

@monkpsych
don't have the phone already -> didn't test any, but as i have read Jaguar should be the best to go. ;D

Thanks, currently using RR later will try jaguar, but none of the ROMs support slow recording I guess.

RR is a good rom. I'm using the latest version and it's very fast. Try a clean flash and make sure Battery Mode is set to Balanced. Check out my scores with [email protected]

No problem mate

RR is a good rom. I'm using the latest version and it's very fast. Try a clean flash and make sure Battery Mode is set to Balanced. Check out my scores with [email protected]

how is Antutu on that RR? On Fedor's RR 5.8.3 I was getting 130-135k

Could you try on rr official ROM

Hello! What is your ambient temperature?
Because I have clean flashed RR and get 124k in Antutu, and 124k as well after OC, however the ambient temperature here at home is a bit high. Could that be the reason of my low scores?
I did get around 146k once with Jaguar, but with overclock and performance governor (and cooler ambient temperature I guess), but the thing with Jaguar was that from time to time I got high battery drain with the phone sleeping.
Do you guys use Interactive governor? Do you tweak anything else after flashing?
Thanks!

Ambient was probably around 20c. 124k for stock clocks looks ok but for OC it's low. Double check your OC. Don't think it's the ambient temps unless they are above 25-30c.
For my benchmark I was using interactive w/o tweaks and with balance mode.
What result were you getting on stock rom?

I see, yeah ambient here these days has been kind of high
I'm benching again with the two files from the thread you mentioned (to apply the OC). Have you tried Jaguar ROM? Apparently it is one of the fastest performers.
EDIT: With stock rom i was getting around 134k , however lately temperature has been high in the city I live, so figures that the phone would reach higher temperatures quicker, though i wonder at what temp it lowers its frequencies.
EDIT.EDIT: I got 149930 (haha needed just 70 for 150k) using both files from OC thread, init.qcom.post_boot.sh and thermal-engine.conf. I wonder how safe it is to use the thermal-engine.conf file, do you guys use it as well?

Awesome score!! With Jaguar ROM? Haven't tried it yet. Yeah I used the thermal file as well. Max I've seen the CPU was mid 60s.

How hot does it get? Does it get hot when idle or gaming?
