[SETTINGS] Overclock / CPU & GPU Settings - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I think this will be a good thread to start for reference to overclock and voltage settings of the CPU and GPU! I will try and provide a nice template for you to follow, to make it easy to read and understand and post your settings.
I'll Start with my settings: **** please note that i am not responsible for anything that goes wrong on YOUR phone if you decide to use any setting from this thread ****

what is this any description will highly be appreciated

With all due respect, Useless thread, every chip is unique in its own way, Some can undervolt/overclock really high, and some can't, Just like your PC CPU, I can undervolt it really high where my friend who bought his CPU with me can't match my undervolting at all.

For 200 to 1600 Mhz frequencies I uv each by 75-100 mv
while for oc frequencies, I run the 2GHz at 1325 or 1300
For gpu, I oc each step by 2 options.

CPU Governor

The galaxy has a big jump from 400Mhz to 800Mhz. Is it possible by modifying the kernel to an intermediate step (600Mhz) or is the hardware limitation?
Thanks in advance

I think you should read the title... I mean the governor of the cpu. It has various speeds to save energy...
Yes. I beleive SetCPU can do this. I haven't tested though.
I think its possible, I've just added one scaling from 100,200,400,800,1000,1200
SetCPU can do that

Only with a stock kernel? So why I can only choose 100-200-400-800-1000 speeds? The ideal would be that it can be set to 600MHz, plenty of power for everyday use
You would have to change the cpu multiplier in order to get a frequency in that range.
You can't change it without adding 600 MHz in the source. SetCPU can only choose the speeds given to it by the source code. I wouldn't be too worried about it though. It only speeds up for as long as it needs to complete a task then it's usually back down to 100 MHz.

That is the question. The more intensive use it is when I use the web browser. And would have the necessary fluidity 600Mhz spending less to have it running a while to 800Mhz.
Anyway I see that the overclock is the same as a PC, with the difference of having to modify the kernel. Time will tell if any of those that modify the kernel have the same need and put it.
PD. Google Translate rules...I'm spaniard...

Hello !
A good CPU governor is design to get most CPU performance and save energy without altering too much reactivity (=introducing latency)
This is why the governor jump "as quick as possible" to high frequencies.
BTW, the quickest the CPU calculates the operation asked, the sooner it can go back to deep sleeping states.
Setting a maximum cpu frequency other than 1GHz (800MHz, 600...) is counter productive.
You'll loose both speed and autonomy because the CPU won't be so often in deepest power saving states.
(you'll find many studies about this )

[Q]Undervolt settings Nexus

Any one want to share their Undervolt settings for others to use? I'll start
I'm mostly looking for what you're using to get the best battery life if anyone wants to help with that.
ROM: AOKP Milestone 4
Kernel: franco.Kernel
Min CPU: 700 Mhz
Max CPU: 1200 Mhz
350 Mhz / 900 mV
700 Mhz / 950 mV
1000 Mhz / 1000 mV
1200 Mhz / /1100 mV
Nice thought, but voltages are device specific. people should make notice of stock voltage values and uv in small increments, never setting untested voltages on boot.
Stay particularly sharp if having a phone that behaves nicely, if uv is too high you'll see something breaking soon.
a little help here
well, plz i need your help
i have undervolt my Xperia S (xzx2 ropm, kernel ssppedkernel-v8) and i used Incredicontrol to undervolt -50mV, but i not take note of the default values and i'm not sure if the undervolt process worked. Plz i need the default values to compare.
Thx, sorry for my bad english

This section is for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which would very likely have very different voltages than the Xperia S.
That said, Incredicontrol probably has a setting for set on boot for those voltages. If you uncheck that, they should go back to default after a reboot.

[Q] franco.Kernel v141 Stock Voltages

So, I know we all have different phones, and after looking at a review of some voltages to try, I changed all the stock voltages to the ones I saw and saved them as default (don't ask me why, I do not know myself). Since this, I set my phone to hotplug and the phone has had multiple Sleep of Death cases. I think it has to do with the voltage but it could just be my phone not liking hotplug because it stops if I turn off hotplug. Or hell it could be that both together are causing it. So I was wondering could someone provide me with stock voltages at 384, 729, 1036, 1228 and 1344 mhz. Or better yet if you could provide me with the best voltages that help save a little battery life. Thank You! (Also I have been looking but have not found the stock voltage for the numbers I listed above)
stock voltages are 1025, 1203, 1317, 1380. 1350mhz is not a stock clock speed so theres no stock voltages. you can try these undervolt values, they are pretty conservative 850, 950, 1050, 1175 and 1250. remember to do nandroid backup first.
undervolt will not really gain you any noticeable difference in battery life, the cpu uses relatively little power to begin with so reducing it by a few hundred mv is not going to make a different with normal use. If you want to try it out just start from stock and go down 25-50mv at a time and test it with some games or stress test.

Thank you. If they really don't make a difference I will leave them be at stock. Any good value for 1350? Or should I just stick with 1250mV? Just really trying to get 2 days out of the phone, but I assume I cannot complain since I am already getting 4h of screen time with normal use on the 2000mah battery. I will look around here some more and see if I can find any more useful tips on better battery life. Thanks again!

Ya thankfully read it, tried these voltages with hotplug on and screen off settings and the phone did not sleep of death this time, but it froze right after wakeup, so no hotplug for me, just conservative.
Also, be very careful with CORE and IVA undervolting. In my case, undervolting theese too much caused the exactly same issue you are dealing with. Same goes with profiles for SetCPU profiles which also causes the phone to behave like that in some cases

So for what I can make out from your post, some reason its setcpu profiles not working, not the phones cpu itself not allowing it be put into hotplug mode? also, sorry for the noob question but what is the difference between CORE and IVA undervolting? Or should I say could you explain them to me.
If you are going to use profiles, your phone should be very stable. In other words undervolting makes it instable if you tweak it too much. Core and iva are very sensitive. Core is your graphic gpu. Let them stay at the normal settings. Use milestone franco stable build undervolting only the cpu. Rather 700 mhz at the lowest. Try it out
EDIT: "If you are going to use profiles, your phone should be very stable BEFORE setting profiles"

[Q] Highest clock speed

I am looking to overclock my CPU to the highest possible MHz without melting my phone, so does anyone have an idea on what is the highest clock speed I can achieve without killing my phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
highest overclock is 806mhz according given thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294101
and read #6 miguelca 's post.its very useful about overclocking your wfs.
actually the highest overclock so far for the wfs is 864mhz, but is very unstable. The fastest and somewhat stable is 825mhz
Thank you for the help fellas, I think I'll clock to 768 MHz as I want the extra bit of performance with out killing the CPU

yeah it ll be good for yr phone.higher overclocking can brick your phone.768MHz is better and standard overclocking for wfs.

Re: Post by user splus in Franco.kernel thread

Re: Post by user splus in Franco.kernel thread
Sorry to post in this forum, but I don't have the minimum post count yet to post in the development forums
I read a post today by splus which I found very interesting,
In r220 hispeed_freq parameter in governor control has been changed from 1200000 (was an old value from first version of Franco JB kernel) to 1228000. As a result CPU now spends most of its time at either at 384 or 1228 MHz, and much less time at higher frequencies.
For some reason if speed_freq value is set to a step lower than 1228000 then it will make CPU to use all higher frequencies in a more balanced way.
What I noticed is that for 1036 it needs to have slightly higher value of 1037000, because 1036000 will put the CPU only to 729 MHz. This is probably because the real 1036 MHz frequency is something like 1036.xx MHz, so it's best to set speed_freq value to a 1000 more than the desired frequency.
Hispeed_freq parameter is just an initial higher speed frequency that CPU will jump to when there's some CPU load. And if the CPU load is still high after the CPU goes into this frequency (in other words if this frequency is not enough to finish the job) then interactive governor will put the CPU in even higher frequencies.
On stock JB kernel max frequency is 1200 MHz, and hispeed_freq is 700000.
When speed_freq is set to 1228000 it will use mostly 384 and 1228 MHz frequencies.
Set speed_freq to 1037000 (or previous 1200000) and more higher frequencies will be used.
There's certainly many possibilities to play with min and max CPU values, together with speed_freq to come to the best values. And probably for each max CPU frequency different speed_freq value would work best...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but I wanted to learn more so I did a lot of Googling about the parameters of the interactive governor. Unfortunately, I kept finding the same few beginners' guides to the different governors available, explaining and comparing their capabilities. There was no advanced explanation of the parameters or their possible valid values.
I found this post by RootzWiki user abqnm, which shed a little more light on the hispeed_freq parameter, and input_boost also. From what I've read on various sites, the input_boost seems to be a binary parameter, so setting it to 1 should jump the CPU up to the frequency specified in hispeed_freq immediately upon detecting a screen touch event. This would make your GNex feel a bit more responsive, without having to wait for the CPU to hit load, but it could negatively affect battery life. In my case, running 729/1612 with hispeed_freq set down at 1036MHz (1037000 in governor control), it's not that big a jump and opening a couple of apps would likely push my speed up beyond it soon anyway, so the battery hit would probably not be much.
As splus said:
After lot of fiddling I found it works best when hispeed_freq is set to 1037000 (not 1036000, it looks like that frequency is actually closer to 1037 MHz so 1036000 doesn't "reach" it).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so using 1036000 in governor control would correspond to the next step down, 729MHz. I know it's easy enough to stick on an extra 1000 for safety, to ensure we hit the right steps, but I'd be curious to know the exact kHz values we could be using.
I'm off to start experimenting with undervolting these new CPU freqs, and my 512GPU Core to reduce my temps a bit.
In case anyone asks, I'm on stock JRO03C w/Franco r220 512GPU.
Very good post! Welcome to XDA! :good:
I'll link to your post on the franco thread just so it gets a couple views from people there.
Edit: I see that you've actually been here awhile! Go help a few more people so you can contribute in the Dev forum.
Yup, that's me... total lurker! I usually defer to the wisdom of the devs and seasoned members, and 99% of the time if I've had a problem/question re my Nexus it's already been posted and there are whole conversations for me to read and digest. I hate the idea of clogging up a thread with a "me too" or "thanks" post, so generally if I don't have something useful to contribute I keep quiet and hang in the shadows. I only come out to feed.
So basically, I'm a knowledge vampire.
That's enough OT... Franco stuff!
I've previously read droidphile's governors thread to which splus linked in their reply to your repost in Franco.kernel. In post #2, containing the governor tweaks (which I found very useful) even droidphile seems to have the wrong idea about the "hispeed_freq" parameter, stating:
(Default value is scaling max freq)

The same section also omits any mention of the "input_boost" parameter.
My undervolting is going well. Inspired by the voltages on rogersnm's signature, I'm currently running these:
Code:
1612 - 800 mV
1536 - 750 mV
1420 - 750 mV
1305 - 750 mV
1228 - 725 mV
1036 - 725 mV
729 - 700 mV
384 - 700mV
CORE -
512/384 - 900 mV
307 - 900 mV
153 - 825 mV
IVA -
266 - 600 mV
133 - 600 mV
I added an extra 100mV to the seemingly rock bottom CPU voltages for safety, but I'll try to reduce them gradually. I've been stable for over 40 hours so far on this setup. With r220, Franco really seems to have nailed it!
BTW, thanks for reposting in the Franco.kernel thread :highfive:
Fantastic. Keep us updated on your progress with voltages, seems like you're doing a great job!
Also, happy to help!

Hi nemotheblue. Good post and findings!
I'm just looking at those voltage values you wrote - are you sure you turned off the SR?
If you haven't don't turn it off with those voltages because you'll get an instant reboot, they seem super low.
Rogersnm wrote and fiddled a lot with voltages, some very good posts.
Better go back to stock voltages, turn off the SR, and then go little by little down with frequencies. When adjusting each frequency best is to set that particular frequency as min (or max if it is higher) frequency so the CPU actually uses it.
And when you get a reboot then just use 25mV higher than the one with reboot.
I'd suggest to have fsync turned on when you fiddle with voltages because that will lessen the possibility of loss of data when phone reboots.
Another thing to have in mind is that even some combinations of frequencies do not work together. Some frequency might work OK with certain voltage with certain max/min frequencies but might not with other min/max frequencies. It looks like the actual change from one frequency to another (and depends from which to which) can determine a lot if a voltage is stable or not.
Also, it apparently very much depends on a ROM you use - different ROMs will probably need readjustment of voltage table.
Undervolting actually won't help much with battery life, smart reflex does a very good job already. It would help most if you game a lot or use your phone heavily, so then when higher frequencies are used the phone would get less hot and use slightly less power.
Otherwise, and especially if you change ROMs, I'd say it isn't worth the trouble.

Since there's lot of info to cover, mistakes can happen. I'll correct it if something is wrong.
Anyhow, if you check the interactive governor code,
if (!hispeed_freq)
hispeed_freq = policy->max;
This means if kernel default for the value of hispeed_freq=0, then it's assigned to policy_max aka scaling_max.
hispeed_freq is kinda like max_load_freq for ondemand.
Btw, input_boost is not available for interactive governor 'designed' for i9100 GS2 with Exynos chip. I don't know about Gnexus' Omap. Since i take one of the GS2 kernel as reference, governors params are kinda specific to i9100 and exynos architecture.

@splus Wow, thanks for joining in on my little thread! Rest assured, before I started my tinkering I turned SR off and fsync on. I've read all 2306 pages of the Franco.kernel thread and avidly followed several conversations within it. I don't mind being a bit adventurous and trying out tweaks and mods; I just prefer to let other, more educated people try it first! I'm a measure twice, cut once kinda guy.
I followed rogersnm's undervolting saga in the Franco thread up to a couple of weeks ago, and recently caught up with his linaro thread, but I was as amazed as you seem to be at the tiny numbers he's currently reporting.
That being said, the voltages I reported were totally stable for me the last 3 days, until tonight. Tonight, I went to a double bill of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight - 5 hours in a huge, sold out cinema with easily 1,000 people. By the second movie, the room temperature was in the high 30s, if not 40C. I got an email, had a read, tapped back to inbox and BAM! The screen froze for about 3 seconds, then rebooted. The crazy thing is, I tried an hour later to reapply the undervolt and it froze straight away. I'm back on SR for a while, but I might try again tomorrow.
My original intention with the undervolting was just to drop the CORE, because I'm getting great performance from the 512GPU, but I notice the area under the camera on the back of the phone can get pretty hot if I'm playing games or watching a video for >30mins. Granted, I don't do that too often, but I figured it'd be nice to eliminate the extra heat. Once I saw the power saving calculations in rogersnm's chart, I was convinced to go the whole hog. The jury's out...

@droidphile Thanks for taking the time to reply. I didn't mean to sound like I was attacking your guide; I'd just read conflicting information from multiple other sources and played the numbers. I was labouring under the false assumption that all interactive governors are created equal. Is there some kind of official/original reference/guide/man page for the governors and their parameters, or are you devs left to interpret the code for yourselves?
I must admit, I'm more confused than ever now. I just can't reconcile your explanation with splus' claim that hispeed_freq=1037000 is the sweet spot for getting interactive to use the intermediate freqs up to a max well above 1036MHz???

Yeah, if you do some gaming and more intensive stuff then it might be worth to find some good voltage values.
Still, those voltages seem pretty far from what hardware would be capable of running so that makes me think the SR check box wasn't really displaying its actual state somehow.
If you were using Franco's app did you check the last tab to see if mV values at certain frequencies were the same as in your table? If yes then I'm just amazed you were able to run it that way...
Anyway, good luck with further undervolting, please post your stable voltages when you find them...
If you have higher OC CPU frequency as max value in interactive (I'm talking about GNex, every chipset behaves differently) then it looks to me that if you set hispeed_freq to 1228000 the CPU would often just stay at that frequency, as if the system decides that it's enough to finish the job. But if you set it to 1037000 then it often determines it is not enough and scales the CPU to higher frequencies, and then you get the CPU to actually use higher frequencies as well.
Other direction would be to set hispeed_freq to even higher frequencies and that'll definitely make it more responsive but at a battery life cost.
The most responsive system would be that CPU goes to max whenever there's something happening. Google actually said at their IO that they tuned JB to go to max frequency at any touch but if you use the stock kernel and check CPU Spy charts you'll see that CPU goes initially only to 700 MHz.
There are other parameters, but it's all about finding a sweet spot for performance and battery life...
Needless to say, tuning all those governor parameters is greatly dependent on available frequencies, programmatically implemented governors and its parameters (which can be changed, a kernel developer can design and implement his own governor and its parameters) and especially chipsets and the way they behave. Every device is very different...
I think we would have better performance if there would be less frequencies in a kernel than currently in Franco's, but if the CPU is really efficient at scaling frequencies up and down through many steps all the time then maybe not.
Either case life goes on and I'm looking forward to see that new Batman myself in couple of days!
Fine folk of XDA,
Apologies for my long absence! I wasn't abandoning the thread; I got a call to work on a short film and had an insane 10 days of 13-16 hour working days and my brain was just too tired in the evenings to keep up with testing and tweaking. Plus, I needed my phone 24/7 stable to handle the continuous flow of calls, texts and emails from the production office.
So, I reverted to SR and dropped my max freq to 1228 and had no problems.
Catching up on the Franco thread tonight, I read a post by daggerxXxsin saying
I am running 600mv on 384-729 and 675mv on 1036-1228. Only works when I'm on 512gpu though. No random reboots or nothin'. Plays games like a champ and never heats up (temp never goes higher than 45°)

I'm gonna leave IVA alone on SR. I never really noticed any difference undervolting it before, and I figure if I'm pushing my MPU voltages so low, I'm just begging for crashes so it's best not to mess with anything that would affect I/O.
I'm currently running r225 512GPU, and I had some wifi issues where the indicator would frequently switch from blue to grey and lose the connection. However, having read some frequent posts in the Franco thread, I've switched from CWM to TWRP, wiped caches and reflashed Franco so I'll wait and see if the problem resurfaces.
BAH! Screw it, I just refreshed the Franco thread and r230 is out. Gonna flash and see how I get on...
Hi again nemo, just stumbled on this thread again
Wondering what posts indicate that CWM vs. TWRP recoveries would make a difference for the booted OS's Wifi/Google Services connectivity?
As I understand it JB in general just has a bit of a Wifi problem vs. ICS and even with ICS the Galaxy Nexus does vs. any other phone. I'm currently having acceptable Wifi using franco 241 (which has a new IO scheduler which makes things feel extremely snappy).
I'm pretty sure all I based that decision on was this discussion in the Franco.kernel thread. In retrospect, kinda half-baked but I must say I'm impressed with this recovery anyway!
I'm still following the thread religiously, rocking M5 at the moment though I'll likely jump on the first 512GPU nightly that comes out. I spent hours yesterday reading the MiNCO and MiNCO+ threads, very carefully backed up, then flashed v4 and immediately ran into this major roadblock and ended up reverting. Further study is required...
A few things come to mind with that storage problem:
1) Maybe that the sdcard bin (as is also in franco's cwm zips) is installed and messing things up weirdly. You'll need to push the stock one back (first post of franco.Kernel thread iirc).
2) A recent ROM Manager bug where .nomedia files were getting placed in the /sdcard/ top level folder, so you might want to investigate that with adb shell (though this would be weird considering you say you're using TWRP and ROM Manager is CWM).
3) Go to Apps > All > MediaStorage, Force Stop and clear data+cache. Reboot to have MediaScanner rebuild the MediaStore.
Edit: Just saw your post in the linked thread... looks like you tried 2+3... so try 1?

Very clever! Way to think outside the box, ossie :highfive:
I should have time to try again tonight, so I'll let you know how it plays out. While I'm at it, I'm excited to try out DarkJelly's inverted gapps, but I'll make sure to tackle the storage problem before flashing any apps/mods
So I couldn't wait!
I was unable to shake the feeling I might have just had a bad download of MiNCO, so I grabbed a fresh copy before I began. Flashed the ROM, Gallery worked fine. Flashed a navbar/battery icon mod, Gallery still ok. Gapps, no problem. Inverted apps, smooth sailing!
I now have a fully functional, customised ROM and no storage problem whatsoever. I must've just borked the first MiNCO download...
All's well that ends well
And I successfully tricked you into making your 10th post, so my work here is done! :laugh:
Now come join us in the main thread :good:
