I'm using this kernel as packaged with oxygen 2.0.1 and I'm interested to learn more about how it manages the CPU and what voltage it uses. Done a fair bit of Google and not finding much!
What is the min and max cpu frequency it allows?
Does it scale between these automatically?
What voltage does it define for the cpu; does that vary?
Is it an overclocked or undervolted kernel?
Does anyone use setcpu with this kernel and what are the effects?
All for interest only really, very pleased with rom, battery life and phone speed as is!
Full kernel is 2.6.37.2-thalamus-S-gfbbb1325thalamus @ozone#1,
look forward to comments!
Installed the JokaWild v3 ROM on my Play and flashed the DooMKerneL v14 ,now i wanna know how to do a safe OC.
I'm using No-frills CPU ,can you tell me the best settings for good and safe OC to XPERIA Play?
Thank you
I dont generally OC my phone beyond 1.2 but you can use this app to run a sereies of tests to determine which OC speed is best for your phone as all phones are different.

I don't overclock mine past 1.4. My play actually reboots if I go 1.6 or more.
I Overclocked my phone to 1.5 and it worked fine. Then tried overclock to 1.6 ,and it's really working good! no bugs ,very fast and the battery stays cool.
I'll stay with my 1.6Ghz overclock ,I think it's enough
What governor / IO scheduler are you guys using? i'm in the same position (jokawild / doomkernel v14 and just installed nofrills cpu) and have read the FAQ, but the version i have seems to have considerably more governors than what has been listed
EDIT: list explaining the governors is here

I'm on SmartassV2.
I once asked this same question ot DoomLord, maker of DoomKernel about which governor and IO to use for best gaming and all around performance.
His recommendation (whihc I have been using since and saw a noticable difference) was to use
Governor: Performance
I/O: BFQ
and I overclock mine to 1.2ghz. My first android phone i oc'd too much, heard a popping noise and BAM.....bu-bye. So I dont go too far..
I generally step up the speed one step at a time until I hit errors that cannot be explained or I get force quits because the phone is running too fast. I suggest going slowly and testing things out but using the governor Performance while the phone is changing. Right now I'm doing okay with smartass v2 at .60/ 1.5 ghz. I might try bumping it up to 1.6 ghz and see how that works tomorrow.

Hows the battery life with this governor?

Epic It is like the phone has no battery cuz on this governor, the phone runs at max frequency.

I know I'm mad late, but I was wondering why my phone kept rebooting. I uninstalled all overclocking apps so I thought my profiles would return to normal. Turns out I must have accidentally set the profile to 2ghz max and 2ghz min somehow. My phone was super lagging and thank God it didn't burn out, smh...

I currently have my Play overclocked to 1.6 using the interactive governor. Battery life is great and it runs steady at 60fps in FPSE. Also Mupen64 runs much better. I haven't had any issues with it so far!

What scheduler are you using??
Mine is running fine on 1.4Ghz with SIO scheduler and InteractiveX governor, the bbatery life seems fine as well...
SmartAss always causing lag on me, dunno why...
LUPUS_GB
i use lupus kernel for gb v2 with i/o setting SIO and governor superbad..
and my phone runs well...no lag..
Hey guys ive already overclocked my phone using the lubus gb kernelv12 and i gota say having the extra internal memory (EXTRA 400MB!!!) and the ability to overclock to 1.6ghz is nice, however there are some things i wana ask. Im running at a min 249 and a max of 1613 mhz using no frills cpu with smartassv2 as my governer and noob as be scheduler, it runs miracles in speed, everything i can run at high resolutions and play and top speeds. However i leave my phone like this all the time ( 249mhz 1613 mhz). The smartassv2 governer is ment to only use high cpus when needed, so that in theory means that i wont always be at 1.6ghz. Ive read on other forums keeping your phone overclocked all the time is bad and dangerous but is it really if the max cpu is only being used when needed? In otherwords should i leave it how it is or is it dangerous? My device is an xperia plat btw. :victory:

AFAIK only the Performance gov keeps the phone at the max allowed clock speed (1.6GHz in your case), so it's just fine as it is. You could, however, use an app (the only one I know that does this is SetCPU, there might be others) to make profiles so it'll only be overclocked when playing games/running benchmarks et cetera. This might save you some battery life.
CPU master by antutu allows you to set profiles but you need to buy the pro to do it

Much appriciated for your reply, and thanks button got a smack to.
Hello guys,
I wanted to know this: I'd like to push the Glide faster, so I would like it to go up to 1.2 GHz. I wanted to know what the best governor in this case.
At the moment, I am using Osimood rom, with its stock Interactive governor and 1GHz clock.
How would Conservative governor with 1.2 GHz compare in overall speed/responsiveness and battery drain?
Or, would perhaps 1.2 Ghz + Interactive governor be the best choice overall? In this case, how much would the overclock impact on the battery?
Is there the possibility to add Interactive X governor among the others?
And finally, but extremely important: I would like to not install Setcpu: which files should I modifiy to retain the selection at boot (since the OsiMood recognizes init.d scripts)?
Thanks,
Tony
I'm interested in underclocking/overclocking my S3 to save battery life primarily. I understand that underclocking is different than using a CPU governor. What is the difference exactly?
Also, is it possible to underclock using the CM10 nighties? I understand that underclocking is dependent on the kernel you use. Does the standard CM10 kernel have this capability? Or does anyone know if its possible to get another kernel that CM10 is compatible with that has the capabilities to underclock?
thanks!
This thread would be a good place to start reading.

I'm running KT747 (Build 3/14/13) and I'm just wondering what this stuff is and does it affect my battery/performance, and if so how? Thanks to anyone that can help!
Overclocking speeds up main processor past 1.5ghz, kernal must support this function. Underclocking slows processor speed to whatever you set maximum under 1.5ghz. Under is good for saving battery, but can cause lag depending on how you use your phone. Governors control how the processor handles requests, such as opening an app, with on demand gov, processor ramps up quickly, with lagfree gov, processor kinda takes it time, which in return saves battery. If your not comfortable or understand this totally, be careful, search for guides on xda about overclocking and governors. Overclocking can cause bootloops, freezes, or other issues. I overclocked mine to 1.7ghz with no problem, but I'm running Agat kernal.
