problem with overclock

My phone freezes just as or very soon after i choose to overclock in cm7 settings.
My last WFS was really loving the O/C.
Has anyone any solution. Many thanks
Edit: I can use userspace govenor and go to 806mhz but dont notice any difference in speed of hone. Tried cpu spy

Perhaps it's your kernel. Which kernel do you use? (go to Settings, About Phone, Software, More, Kernel version)
Also, what apps do you use to do the overclock?

It's likely your phone. Not all chips are made the same. Set your governor to performance and slowly ramp her up till it freezes. Then take a step down and leave it.

BigChillin's right try what he said.

My setting are 120/806 without any problems. This must be you phone...

SMARTASSv2 Governor question

I am trying to find a governor that will give me good performance (no lag) but also good battery life. I was told that SMARTASSv2 is the one to use for the best of both worlds. However, I notice that when I look in SETCPU, the frequency jumps all over the place and never settles down even when the phone isnt doing anything. Is there a fix for this? I am running LIONFISH 1.6 Kernel. If there isnt a fix, what is a recommended governor?
Thanks.....

I always use ondemand,no matter how many governors there are,its always did me right as far as battery and speed go,very smooth.

here is what I have always read about ONDEMAND and why I really dont use it:
"OnDemand scales its clock speed in a work queue context. In other words, once the task that triggered the clock speed ramp is finished, OnDemand will attempt to move the clock speed back to minimum. If the user executes another task that triggers OnDemand's ramp, the clock speed will bounce from minimum to maximum. This can happen especially frequently if the user is multi-tasking. This, too, has negative implications for battery life. "
Im now testing intellidemand but there appears to be a lag when opening programs (mail, contacts, etc).

Try smartass instead of 2,see if that balances it out.

Does same thing. Intellidemand is pretty snappy and I watch the setcpu screen and it raps down and up nicely.. the only issue is opening apps.. small lag but once you are in the program its quick

Maybe try a full reboot.Clear cache and delvik.

tried that.. same issue... Does anyone run intellidemand and if so, how does it work with the evo in terms in performance and battery life.. so far so good here except for the small lag wen opening programs

not sure what ROM you are on..but the Mason kernel w/ wheatley gov is treating me nicely, I spend most of my time at either 245 or 960..it does ramp all the frequencies in between thought as well. Maybe try underclocking your device..I like to keep my freq. high because I want my EVO to perform! With that being said, with normal usage (lots of texts, few calls, moderate web browsing, some GPS use), I am seeing at least 40% left after 16 hrs.

I personally use ondemandx which is in lionfish 1.8 or underworld v0.5. I find that smartass, V2 specifically. Changes frequency way to often and causes random reboots because our CPU doesn't handle that many frequency changes that quickly. Interactivex or ondemandx seem to be the best for me. They are both good on battery and very snappy.

I noticed this too with SMARTASS (both versions). I was trying INTELLIDEMAND yesterday, but with 5 hours on battery (anker 1700), and almost no use (mostly stand by) I was down to 78% battery. I am now back to interaxtiveX

Processor stays at maximum clock speed

Hi, this problem appeared just recently. My arc S processor has continually been staying at the maximum clock speed (806 MHz in my case). Past few months it was OC-ed to 1.6 GHz until a few weeks ago. I left it at 806 MHz after that and never touched it.
I'm on MiUI 2.9.28 JB with FXP138 kernel, and I was using it normally (whatsapp, twitter, texts, xda and some youtube). Is it possible that my processor has been damaged, or is it ROM/kernel related?

I Suggest trying another kernel first.

Change your cpu governor..i suggest smartass v2 and stay away from ondemand and performance

I use interactive. I've been using interactive ever since I rooted. I've tried other governors, all of them give me maximum or near maximum clock speed except for power save which gets stuck at minimum.
I'll try flashing lupus, report back later.
EDIT: am on lupus now with similar results. Same governor. 122min 768max

Can't you get a full backup with ROM Toolbox, and try installing a new rom ?? with a total clean installation
Just to try to figure out is it the rom or the processor itself.

Install the stock ROM and see, more than likely a ROM issue.

Hi all,
Thanks for the responses. Did a factory reset and its working fine now.

What are your performance configurations?

I have installed PA, stable. Current Clockspeed set to 806 and 1200 MHz. The CPU governor is Performance. IO scheduler is set to Deadline. zzRam is set to default, Allow purging of assets is checked, so is KSM. 16-bit transparency is set too.
After using the phone pretty hard for a month and half, I find the performance not satisfactory. I need to perform frequent restarts to beat the sluggishness. Tried a system reset that made it fast, but only for a few days, if not weeks. Could the sluggishness be because of a slow SD card? I used the one that was free with the phone. I got it off Flipkart, in India.
How do I speed it up? I dont have any UI/skins/Nova or that stuff. No background processes other than WA, FB, Maps and JottaCloud (to sync msgs, which are not frequent.)
Thanks.

Use greenify and use the swap script

try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210880
Be careful abt setting the size coz Cm10 can only use 50mb(just read the thread and you'll get it)

Greenify looks pretty good. Might take me a while to get my head around it though. If that doesnt help, Ill try to use swap. Is the swap created on the SD or the internal memory?
Thanks.

in the cache and data memory to be exact
No PROBLEMS GUARANTEED
although if ur not on sense go for 50mb for cache

Optimisation
Most issues sluggish issues on the HOV are caused by background programs. You could try Tantrums Gapps install to remove all the stuff you don't need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918616 note that it works on all CM10 based roms.
With regards to the memory card you are right, a faster card will significantly improve the speed of response the phone has. However it won't stop the need to reboot.
As a memory manager I used SmartassV2. Also you can safely up your clock speed to 1470MHz, however when I ran some games this led to a nice warm phone, which is handy in winter :victory: .
The final step with my phone was to go for a full reinstall using as few Titanium restores as possible.
Hope this helps

I have my CPU set at 1.497Ghz with lionheart governor and deadline scheduler Nd it runs real fast and smooth ! Give it a try also like stated above. You can remove apps you don't use at all some run in the background taking up ram for no reason

Thanks guys for your replies. Greenify is pretty amazing. Have noticed quite a difference in my phone. Will try the configurations mentioned by you also.
Thank you!

i messed up my tablet :(

I touched some no frills cpu control settings and now my benchmark results are about 19000-22000 and it used to be like 24000 i tried changing the rom and all that stuff if someone can give me the stock governator and all frequencys and that stuff it would be helpful.. Thanks i need help i dont know what to do

Now i cant do any better than 23000

Firstly, I assume by the size score that you are using Antutututu. If so then you always get variance in the scores, and yes it can be 4k difference.
Next, I'm gonna bet that you are seeing thermal throttling, where the device is turning off 2 of the cores due to heat.
I've only noticed this behaviour recently myself. It's a real pain in the arse. I've downloaded trinity kernel app to get around the problem. In his app you can turn off thermal throttling and force the two other Cores to stay on.
This isn't a permanent fix though as the settings don't want to stick for some reason that is beyond me.
Next, is there no reset to default in no frills cpu app ?
Or you can uninstall no frills and make sure you delete any folders off your sd card, then either reflash your rom or you could even flash AICP kernel.
This should get you back to default.
Finally if you still think it's your settings, you could tell us all the settings you have changed and between the guys on the forum we could tell you what to change back to.
All the best rich
**just had a quick look at no frills on play Store. Looks like there's not loads to alter.
I like interactive governer and row scheduler (as we can't get row I use deadline.)
Min frequency wants to be at 384 and max at 1728.
That's the basics.
