CPU Overclocking - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have started research about overclocking Ace 2.
In GT-I8160 default config there is UX500 use-case governor option enabled.
So we have various CPU configuration functions in usecase_gov.c file such as set_cpufreq or set_cpu_config.
I think that's the point where we should look for overclocking our Aces. Am I right?

Try it

Hmm, first I will try to diff GT-I8160 and GT-I9070 kernels, these are very similar phones and one of few differences is CPU frequency.
But now I need mirror for GT-I9070 sources (downloading from Samsung at 15kB/s)

This?

Fine, fine, but for now it's discussion which suppose not to be here. This is Development thread, where placeholder topics are forbidden

Well i believe that dev discussion or wip projects aren't forbidden in the dev section..

I've done some coding today, tomorrow compile and flash. We'll see...

Hope it works :good:

Ok, that's what I know at the moment:
-CPU frequency tables in devices-db8500.c file are the same for GT-I8160, GT-I8190 and GT-I9070 with 800MHz max so we can't do nothing here.
-frequency tables are modified by PRCMU driver (/drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c) as we can see in db8500_prcmu_update_freq() function
Code:
static void db8500_prcmu_update_freq(void *pdata)
{
freq_table =
(struct cpufreq_frequency_table *)pdata;
if (!db8500_prcmu_has_arm_maxopp())
return;
switch (fw_info.version.project) {
case PRCMU_FW_PROJECT_U8500:
case PRCMU_FW_PROJECT_U9500:
case PRCMU_FW_PROJECT_U8420:
case PRCMU_FW_PROJECT_U8420_SYSCLK:
case PRCMU_FW_PROJECT_A9420:
case PRCMU_FW_PROJECT_U8500_MBL:
freq_table[3].frequency = 1000000;
break;
case PRCMU_FW_PROJECT_U8500_C2:
case PRCMU_FW_PROJECT_U8520:
freq_table[3].frequency = 1150000;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
Unfortunately, db8500_prcmu_has_arm_maxopp() function returns false for our device (it may be caused by hardware) so frequencies are not modified. I'd like to check how is it on GT-I9070 or GT-I8190 but I don't own these devices.
I'm also afraid to manually change frequencies (don't want to brick phone).
Greetings.

Maybe you doesn't have to overclock kernel, just improves performance to make our ace 2 better
Sorry for my bad english

yeah thing ace 2 has a fast enough prozessor for me my old phone was a galaxy 3 so i know how a slow phone feels

My previous phone was LG GT540 so I know how a slow phone feels too
OC is the best way to improve performance. Look at benchmarks:
ours 800MHz: http://www.antutu.com/view.shtml?id=2869
1GHz: http://www.antutu.com/view.shtml?id=1632

If You have sources for NovaThor chipset (https://www.change.org/petitions/st-ericsson-release-the-sources-for-the-nova-thor-chipset#share) it could be easier to do something for our CPU, right?

I don't think so. Whole source code (including parts made by ST-Ericsson) needed to build kernel are provided by Samsung.
I don't really know what kind of sources they want to get from ST-Ericsson.

Hi, I need some volunteers
http://d-h.st/WGO that's my kernel. ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS! INCREASES FLASH COUNTER
It don't blow up your phone but GSM is not working, and there's some bug with shell root permission.
I want you to flash it (via Odin), wipe data (so do it only if you have backup!) and try it in benchmark.
Effect won't be so large because of shell bug but I want to try it on more devices.
Here's stock kernel http://d-h.st/vjM
EDIT: THANKS FOR TESTS. DO NOT FLASH THIS KERNEL ANYMORE

[Kernel] [Sprint] [1.4/1.2 OC] Bauxite Kernel - 2/12/11 -V3.3

Extremely Alpha Code
Hey everyone...
I've developed what I think is the first 1.2ghz overclock for the Galaxy tab Sprint ONLY.
WARNING: THIS KERNEL MAY NOT WORK ON YOUR DEVICE, MIGHT DESTROY YOUR DEVICE, MIGHT PUNCH YOUR CHILDREN, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS KERNEL, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Whew... now that the warning is out of the way I present a 1.4/1.2 overclock based off of the details here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943669
Quadrant Score: 1129
Linpack Score: 19.29
You will want to unpack the zImage and push it over with Heimdall, while in download mode (hold down power + vol-down until you get the download mode screen).
FOR OTHER DEVELOPERS
------------------------------------------
As I stated before, if you follow the link above and modify the exact same lines you can add this to you kernels as well.. however the file names are different, the files you want to modify are..
arch/arm/plat-samsung/max8998_consumer.c
arch/arm/plat-samsung/s5pc11x-dvfs.c
arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/clock.c
The last one took me forever to grep and find...
This is just the first of many versions, I will look into other CPU frequencies and voltages, lets see how far we can push this baby.
Donate!
V3.3 --- EXT4 ONLY Kernel... only use this if you are on ext4
V3.1 --- Fixed Ext4(?) NOPE
V3.0 --- Based on EA24 Source - untested with older software. Adds EXT4 (broken)
V2.0 --- 1.4/1.2 GHZ OC, reverted previous changes, NO EXT4 (yet..) ONLY FOR SPRINT, USB FIXED - based on koxudaxi's patch
You'll want to use the voltage control app here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943669
V1.2 --- 1.2 ghz OC, 1.35 Overvolt (for stability), ext2/3/4/rfs
V1.1 --- Added 1ghz back in as a choice, reset your setcpu to select it.
V1.0 --- Added 1.2ghz overclock (replaced 1.0ghz default, will fix later)
would you be willing to do one for us gsm users if we provide kernals for you
Testing now but awesome work!! Works like a charm! I would take it it would run stable about the same speeds as the other Hummingbird processors at normal voltage ( 1200 ) and lower voltages at 1440 just fine but who knows
This is with this Kernel and OCLF.
(LinPack 17.5)
(Quad Score 2369)
(SmartBench 1469 3344)
Damn you, sprint users. . At least there is hope for pushing the Tab now, cheers
How about just setting #define USE_1DOT2GHZ 1 in s5pc11x-dvfs.c and in linux/arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/cpu-freq.c?
That should switch everything to 1.2GHz tables that Samsung nicely prepared for us?
it seems to work for me just fine.
how to update?
Are you sure it works without altering clock.c? Until I changed that file my device was reporting 1.2ghz but it was still super slow.
EDIT: nvm, you're right. Changing that would change clock.c as well. I don't plan on using the default tables, but it's a good place to start if you want to stick to default values. I know this thing can do more than 1.2ghz.

Anyone could do it easily, but I"ll see what I can do. I've gotten ahold of roto's initrd, I just need to grab the source from Samsung. I don't get home until very late in the evening so I can't promise that someone won't beat me to it!
Please, someone beat him to it.
I've never flashed a kernel before, but it worked without a hitch. Thanks!
This sounds awesome, I'm curious if it makes a big difference in performance and how it affects battery life, those of you that use it please post your experiences! Thanks! I know using custom kernels on my N1 makes a huge difference though so I'm hoping this does too...
Looking forward to seeing how much difference this makes, my n900 i clock to 1.2ghz from the default 600 clock (downclocked cortex A7 @ 600mhz default). so pretty sure the tab should do 1.4 or so faultlessly?
Looking forward to GSM revisions, hopefully Roto may even include this in his roms later (well i'm wishing ^^).
Nice to see someone brave enough to start the ball rolling

Any word on if this will work for vzw?
I just bought a Galaxy tab and I've never built an Android Kernel before but I spent yesterday tearing through the how-to from the CM guys. I'm familiar with C pretty well, so I was glad to see that I'd be building C and not some Java I'd be totally illiterate to. I'm hoping stepping up to these crazy ARM cores from my usual embedded work with AVR's and 32mhz ARMs shouldn't have too terrible a learning curve.
Anyone who's done kernel building for android before: Is it pretty much a straight forward build process? For some of the embedded work I've done with RTOS systems I've spent days digging through memory maps, linker files and assembly code to trouble shoot issues... Just curious if those will be useful skills for android?

I actually used the Verizon kernel configuration, since there is no sprint one. I think it should work on Verizon.. make a kernel backup first!
The only difference could be in the initrd but I have no way of knowing until someone tries it.

On Vibrant, Trinity was DoW.
But there are more SGS flavors than stars in the sky, so that might not change anything

If you are benchmarking be sure to force gpu rendering and edit file in /system/lib/egl and delete first line totally, so only the second line stays (thanks bigxie )..
Here are another 2 build.prop tricks your rom might or might not use:
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=240
Paste anywhere in build.prop. it won't change benchmarks, but real feel.
Hope this helps

Even though you just started developing for the gnex, your kernel is already amazing! Thanks for all the hard work!
Now I'm jealous that I did not get to try them out
Morfic I gotta say helping you test these was a pleasure. This thing at 512 MHz gpu is super smooth and quick. My battery life over the past day has also been stellar. Can't wait for you to get the phone so you can run the fruits of your labor lol. Amazing work man.

Dont try it bro. Look at meruk kernels thread in development section.there is no feature called overclocking.
I have heard in past that he made a overclocking kernel which was abandoned.
My advice.most the developers are in xda.most blogs copy paste their work.do a search in xda before doing something risky.
send from Gods Own Country........
It works, you can overclock to 900MHz and also, 1GHz, but it drains battery like anything, almost 5x times, mines over at just 3 hours with normal usage, and some fcs with multi tasking, it isnt stable. So better not use it and btw, if something like this comes, it comes first at xda, dont waste your time reading other blogs.
BTW, its copied from merruk kernel thread from development section.
I overclocked with this kernel
Improved benchmark score
But drains battery very fast
Better use a good kernel....

Lag in CM10.1 during an app installation via market !

Hi guys !
Whenever i do install any app from the market the whole SystemUI lag's (Too much of lag ) for 2-3 sec .
Is there any way to fix that ? , does it happen all the time to CM base roms ?

Happens in all ROMs because the system is writing to memory.. Thus reducing IO performance for any other process.

I feel it much smaller in Nexus 7 device. But on every device that I used there was something like this and it was there on almost every android version I tried. Just have to live with this.

Okay mine is VYL00M - FwRev-0x25 , but where did you get to know about these Faulty NAND chips in our Nexus phones ?, though heard about the faulty ones in SGS2 / Note due to the eMMC cap-erase Firmware revision update irreversible bug but none mentioned about the hardware faults.
My nexus's MTP transfer speeds are well + even then TWRP backup avg speeds would be around 7-12MB/s , i use Fiops / Deadline / row as my I/O schedulers and the ROM works pretty well, though the lag is the touch response do happen <= 1 sec & some times <= 2 sec .
I think it does depends on the kernel itself as Trinity has that lag for lesser time while the AK / AIR do have greater lag than that of Trinity's and not due to the ROM, well the Android writes the data onto the system and there's a drop in I/O perf that's very unfortunate .
EDIT : Okay found this Nexus's eMMC issues !

No it's true. I went back to stock based 4.2.1 cause the lag in CM 10.1 and based ROMs was a little too much for me. Specially after installing an app . Had to wait for a long time
I'm now in Purity 2.1 and it's running smooth again. Of course the phone is a tad slower but not as bad as CM10.1

i think there's an I/O coding difference in these ROMs as always and this JB release made it even worse....still there are much more intuitive features in Xylon , CM , AOKP over the closer to stock ROM types.

I don't think so, thermal throttling definitely has to do with the kernel and you certainly have to face that.

...I think it would be better off to start from the stickies in the dev subforum.

Can I in any way whatsoever disable thermal throttling?
It just bugs me that I can't play any intense game due to severe frame drops. I would love to have the option of disabling the thermal throttling, but I got no idea how. Could you please help me?

Yes you can disable thermal throttling BUT you need a custom kernel. Also even with the throttle off , once your phones CPU hits a certain temp 120°c I believe , it'll shut down . and I guarantee that playing any game that taxes your phone will hit this temp if the throttle is off .
Simply put its not really a good idea , start with a custom kernel that can over clock the CPU and GPU and you should be OK , leave the throttle alone :thumbup:
