OverClocking on the HTC Incredible -

I've tried using, I'm not a slow learner. I just don't quite understand how to overclock it.
I'm curious if my profiles settings are correct -
1.113Mhz Max
275Mhz Min on Performance - Are those correct if your trying to run your HTC at its highest quality while sacrificing battery?
I had one -
1.113Mhz Max
1.113Mhz Min and performance. It seemed fast and kept my temperature down to 95.8° instead of being at 108.3° all day and it also saved battery life alot. The reason its normally that hot is because I'm constantly using my Droid. My screen is why my Droid mainly dies half the time.
But can anyone tell me if I'm working this right?

The performance governor keep your processor at the highest clock speed, so unless your running benchmarks, I wouldn't recommed using it. What kernel are you using and which app are you using for overclocking?

Set CPU root user access.
Also what do you mean by Benchmarks? Like testing or running certain apps?

Benchmark apps like linpack or quadrant measure the general amount of processing power the phone is capable of. People generally run these apps to test how fast their phone is. On another note; since it looks like you are using cyanogenmod why are you using setcpu and not the built in overclocking feature built into the rom?

Ahh, well with Set CPU it allows me to use a widget etc. Also by installing one of these CPU apps it controls cyanogens built in CPU.
I'd also like to ask about the updated Nightlies roms they come out with constantly, what do they do?
Improve performance, battery, more options etc?
Sorry I'm a bit new to the world of root.
EDIT-- I tested quadrant and hit the 1,381 mark. Weather that is good or not I don't know.

With CM7 there's really no need for a separate CPU controlling app, and I've heard it can actually cause conflicts, so I'd recommend just using the built in performance settings in the CM settings menu.
If you're using the stock kernel, I'd set the governor to on demand (I'd recommend smartass but I don't think the stock kernel has it), and set you minimum speed to the lowest possible, max speed to 998mhz. I underclock a little bit (883mhz) and you can experiment with lower or higher max clock speeds if you want to. I've found that overclocking produces no difference in real world performance, everything is just as snappy at 883mhz as it is at 1113mhz and if you choose to underclock, you may notice slightly better battery life.
As for the nightlies, they're usually pretty small changes at this point. They've been perfectly stable and bug free for a while now. There are feature additions that go in to the nightlies, a few things they've added recently are built in screenshot, lockscreen wallpaper, and dBm in the status bar instead of signal bars.
So to answer your question, there isn't really any difference between the nightlies and stable release as far as performance and battery life, but there are more features and options. With the nightlies as stable and bug free as they are, I wouldn't think twice about recommending them.

Benchmarks only very remotely indicate processing power of the device. They mainly measure an abstract of what the ROM and kernel are able to do given certain parameters. I can set my Tbolt up to run in the 1900 on Quadrant or run AOSP and pull down 4000+ scores. CM kernels are good, but I think there are better ones. There's no way running a performance governor yields better life than smartass, ondemand, or interactive. The reason you might want to use performance is if you're using it for a screen off setting. Performance doesn't use clock cycles to constantly measure CPU load so its a good choice when you need the CPU to switch governors and ramp up quickly or when there is no need for the CPU to change speed. Every kernel has its own custom tweaked govs so they will all act differently. I currently run my dInc at 245-1.153 on a smartass gov and my Tbolt at 61MHz-1.49GHz on a modified ondemand gov. Running a setting that simply pulls good scores isn't even always indicative of the quickest, most useful setup. Plus, on many ROMs, running the SetCPU widget will cause serious lag issues regardless of how amazing your benchmark scores. There's a lot to be learned from playing and a lot to be learned from reading and benchmark scores are anything but a gold standard of performance measurement.

I have to agree with him on the multiple clock setting apps. They work my running scripts and the scripts can conflict. If you're not running profiles, don't use SetCPU. If you are, ditch the other app.

Hmm, alright thanks. Well definitely learned alot from Over/Underclocking thank you.
Guess I'll get rid of the app? Should I use a different kernal though then the one I'm using depicted in that picture?

if you want. The cm kernel is just a generic kernel they port for each device so there isn't a lot of customization built into it. It's not a bad kernel, but there are certainly faster ones.

I just caught this thread and wanted to say Thanks for the input...
and ask for your recommendations on a few Kernels to try on a Dinc running CM7, and if you have the time what benefits they might provide?

I'd have to recommend Chad's incredikernel. It has the smartass governor, which tends to yield the best battery life as well as good performance. A feature it has that I find essential now is fast charge, as well as USB fast charge. There's also a flashable SD speed fix that remedies the slow transfer speeds on AOSP roms. It also goes hand in hand with the incredicontrol app, which allows for undervolting to extend your battery life even further.
I'd go to the incredikernel thread in the development forum, and also www.incredikernel.com to read up a bit on all the features and how to utilize them.

I installed the lastest, now you said I should get faster USB charge correct? Cause that would be absolutely wonderful, I broke my original cord and got this 1in cord that barely works and it works USB. If this is true this Guy is a God! Anyway so smartass is the best between saving battery and performance?

Yes, I'd use recommend the smartass governor for the best combo of battery life and performance, and to enable USB fastcharge I use his incredicontrol app. Obviously the fast charge will only work if the USB port is putting out enough power to support it.

Dude seriously thank you! Is there a personal thread started from Chad declaring his awesome kernel? Ill join his alliance, this **** is literally the best thing my phone could have got.
- Before IncrediKernel, my phone died within 1-2 hours heavy use.
- After Installing, heavy use gives me 4-5 hours.
- Before IncrediKernel, my phone took 3-4 hours to fully charge.
- After installing, my phone charges within 1 hour and 30 mintues roughly upon heavy use. So estimated 40 minutes - 1 hour for full charge without use?
This kernel seriously did wonders. Thanks a ****ing alot chad! Best **** ever!

Overheating

I've OC 1,8 GHz... I know that when playing games, phone's temperature raises, but when I'm playing NFS HP it almost burns me. What can I do with that? Does custom ROM may reduce the overheating?
And which ROM is the best?

reduce your overclock to 1.4ghz...really no need to go above 1.4ghz currently

yeah, but with 1,8 GHz is the best score in Antutu...

So in the end its just about benchmark score..

Antutu means nothing......im not understanding this recent fad in basing your phone on Antutu etc etc maybe im just old school i dunno.....you asked about overheating and i gave you an answer......benchmark scores mean nothing at the end of the day....

Ok... and what about the best ROM?

search for it and install which u find its best for you

there is no "best" rom, rom's are down to personal preference. try them all see which you like.

Overhaeting at 1.8ghz while you are playin a game that stresses the RAM? Are you serious??? that is your phone's way of telling you that it cant take it, reduce the OC before it blows up...!

sorry i should be straight forward and not scare people like that...

I'm running the Titanium Kernel build#4 and occasionally take it up to 1.7GHz; the handset does get extremely hot (battery temps were somewhere in the range of 50C-60C, I think) so I never OC that high anymore. It probably cant be very good for it
As for "best" ROMs, it really does depend on what you prefer, but flashing the Titanium Kernel and running the Lionheart governor seems to give the best performance and battery life at a 1.4GHz OC, for me anyways.

That is true. The CPU can withstand ~100°C but not your hand. Standard phones has plastick fascia, so you are not sensing the heat that much as in our aluminium V. The phone can withstand that much, the question is how long...
As for me, I use the phone at stock 1Ghz, and for me it is more than enough.

HTC ONE X TIPS (OC__UV_GPU) Beast!!

Hi again people, wanna talk about the faux123 004 b6 kernel with u, first off the kernel is amazing when it comes to gaming and stability
now people are having problems with the interactive governore as it dosent use all 4 cores properly -1 (No big Deal) cause (hamdir) talked about how u can modify the OnDemand governor and make it alot better. And he is knowing what he is talkin about!!! So big love to U 2!
so i wanna share the settings im using with my kernel.
First System Tuner
upthresehold 60- 50 is to mutch I think
downthreshold: 10
i set Auto kill : Aggressive
UC CPU : 1.4Ghz- so it wont force stay on one core at 1.5Ghz (when ur running quad mode all are hitting 1.4Ghz
Now UV : first 5 : -225mvh and all others -150mvh and it works fine 4 me (Remember al chips are made in a different way so if it dosen work for u try a bit lower. if it wont work it will just reboot to the old values!
The UV does not affect the GPU like some say it does (ULP GPU are using low power it dosent need as much juice as other GPU´s and if my CPU all 4 can hit 1.4Ghz then it cant be a problem with the 520mhz GPU!
So if ur phone lags during gaming or just in general there is something wrong with the ROM or u have installed it wrong
I always make sure i have no data cashe or any thing left when installing a rom dont even restore old apps or data cuz that can be the problem so see u soon with some talkin abou the ViperX 1.0.1 ROM!

and hamdir if what u are sayin about the UV is right then it must be something wrong with my phone couse it sticks at those UV values i talked about without no reboot, and i can play games for hours without overheating now.
but m8 i saw that u said that games can lag becouse of the UV with OC 520 mhz GPU is that true?
In my opinion i dont think so becouse the cpu ccan run full speed why not the Gpu that is made for not having to get high power?

ok the UV will show on the app, but its not really working, our kernel devs confirmed if you cross -100mv it stop working (tegra will ignore those values and stick to its defaults)
as for the GPU/CPU/UV speed question, im not sure but from my follow up on the Prime kernel development, it was clear UV "can" cause lag if the chip can't handle the reduced power
finally yes you can ask by pm, but if its useful for community ask in here

okay thanks m8 for these answers will ask u later about some other things, but i gotta go meet tha lady for now see ya later today prob...

Overlocking

Hey there
I am just wondering if overlocking may cause a life less for battery or cpu
if not what's the the fastest and safest one for the min and max ?
thx

Maybe you wanted to overclock it? Don't think that overlocking your phone will do any good.

I know that the overclock is bad for the processor´s life but no in battery , so i don´t recommend you use overclock , it use more battery , if you are looking for speed and stability , do something diferent . I use my phone always in under clock and genrally i can use it for 2 days without charge it , but it have good speed and stabilty (on demand 122-480) :laugh:

If you want performance with good use of battery try changing the governor for Smartass V2, min: 122 and max: 600. If you have SmartassH3, better

Thank u for u reccomandation...i tryied what u said and in 1 hour only 2% battery drain(phone was idle) btw thank u.....
Sent from my LG-P350 using xda app-developers app

U can safely oc any cm7 rom to over 700mhz if u planin' to play some chalengin games, otherwise it's beter to stay within max freq around 600, and play with governors for performance or battery life. See some kernels with better governor support.

Ok thank u.....but gaming also drain battery so i dont play them.....

brother there is no big deal if you are not overclocking very much i mean to say that dont set max frequency too high also in performance even in low max frequency there is a observable change in phone performance so if you can dont use overclocking
but if you want do it within a safe zone i mean to say dont set max frequency too high cos setting max frequency too high gibe following problems
1 battery llife decreases cos it provides strenght for performance and in setting governor to performance you are killing it even more
2 sometimes phone becomes too hot from back
3 life of phone decreases
4 random reboots { not always }
remember brother all these points that i told you above are not always applicable to all devices on equal proportion as every device has different hardware and software interface so dont overclock your phone much
you should also wait for reply from @iceyhotguy i think he will also give you some help
good luck :good::good::good::good:

Hey, ok to start with, you cannot overclock your grand. Overclocking needs a kernel that supports certain features and higher frequencies and sadly there is no stable custom kernel we can use right now. Overclocking would mean pushing the maximum frequency to about 1400-1500MHz.
Secondly, I'm almost sure 99.9% of grand are set to Max 1200 and Min 312 MHz because that's the default setting that comes with the phone and it makes sense to keep the minimum at minimum and maximum at maximum. And this is same for most phones, not just Samsung. OEMs put a max limit lower than the max power of the processor to avoid overheating and any damage it might cause if the processor reaches its full frequency too often, Overclocking unlocks the full potential your processor can reach. So basically it is more than safe to keep the maximum at 1200, but minimum should be set low, as that is the frequency your phone wakes up in each turn your screen on.
Only reason to lower the max frequency would be if your phone is heating up too often.
Now, regarding governors and I/O schedulers, these are the main things that are good about custom kernels.
Governors are are controllers of how your frequency scaling is handled, in other words, it controls how often and in how big steps your frequency jumps to a higher step (312 to 600 to 800 to 1200)
I/O schedulers is how your phone manages how to assign processing time to each task or app your phone runs. Depending on this your phone runs better for the process that is started first (noop scheduler) or focuses on multitasking, while giving all apps share of the processor (cfq scheduler)
I personally don't prefer Performance governor as it keeps the phone at max frequency, which is great for gaming but for day to day use it uses more battery and in long term could damage your processor
My preferences, Governor : Interactive and I/O : cfq
All Governors and I/O are explained here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989824
Once we get custom kernels going we can have more Governors and I/O
EDIT : Oh and make sure you arent using any third party apps to set your frequency, governor and i/o if you are using Settings>Advanced>Performance. Basically use just one thing apps or settings, otherwise it'll cause a conflict

So ultimately now i aint using the Governors roflol m afraid so i hve set it on demand one mre thing i would like to ask is slimbeans kernel not a complete custom kernel???

Try around all governors, they are all safe and that's why I gave you the link, it's a 2 line review on all governors and I/O and you can use any of them without worrying . The damaging processor thing happens over very long periods of time. I have played with almost all processors on different phones, nothing bad will happen. My favorite one is smartassV2.
And no all custom ROMs have the basic kernel from CM10.1, that's why they have only the default features and governors.
We will have to wait for k2wl or another developer to create a custom kernel, preferably for CM10.2 when it is stable, because then all these ROMs will be upgraded to 4.3

Try interactive, it is good for both performance and battery backup. If you use performance, you might face reduced battery time.
