Hey guys!
I installed CPU Spy and Performance Tuner and noticed that my max CPU speed is 1440Mhz but as far as I know it should say 1800Mhz. I know we have 4 cores running at 1.4Ghz and 2 cores running at 1.8Ghz which is the speed advertised.
What is your max CPU speed for your G4?

CpuSpy doesn't know that cores beyond 0-3 exist, so it only shows the first quadcore cluster. App hasn't been taught bigLITTLE yet it seems.
Oh I see, I thought I had like a bad CPU since I couldnt find something about it. Thanks!
Same here I only get to do 1.44
Use Kernel Adiutor App. it's compatible and detects all cores.

Hey everyone,
Was just wondering, what is your Maximum overclock on your Note II. At what voltage?
1.8GHz for daily usage at 1250mv
[email protected]
Latest antutu 22570.

Don't actually overclock, don't really need it so far
Overclocking Benefits
Wow, 1.86 GHz. Great. Nice low voltage too!
I run at 1.92 GHz, 1350 mV (Sometimes I can get 1325 mV, but I overclocked the GPU. It seems if the GPU is faster the processor needs more voltage?)

Don't you undervolt all CPU clocks from 200Mhz to 1900Mhz?

Yep! All clocks are undervolted, each step decrease 25 mV from previous. I found this to give best benchmark and stability!
If you know of any clocks I can decrease further, please share.
Also, does anybody know if 2000 MHz is possible? I heard overclocking should be between 10-20% increase otherwise the CPU could malfunction (device freeze, SOD, ect) Now, 1600 MHz + 20% = 1920 MHz so I don't think any higher is possible.... But anything is possible on XDA/Android!
Tried your setting hitman but best antutu I could get was 23049.

Ok. What ROM are you using? I'm running CM 10.2
Also, governor to Pegasusq. I customised that to give best performance I can get.
And, what kernel are you using? I'm using Devil Kernel 0.35 or something (the latest devil kernel)
Use TricksterMod to overlook GPU to 800 MHz, you'll need extra volts.
Download all in one toolbox from Play, or Clean Master. Run this before running Antutu
Using TricksterMod, make sure CPU temp is below 30 Degrees Celsius.
I am using ElementalX kernel on stock 4.4.4 android. I have to OC set to 1.944GHz currently. AnTuTu bench at 1.944GHz and 450MHz GPU gives me between 24-25k result. Now if I lower the CPU to 1.89GHz it drops to 21k. And if I go back to stock freq I get 19k. Something does not seem right in the test results as related to the frequencies. Question is this: Are there sweet spots in the frequency range for the CPU?
P.S. I know many people dislike benchmarks...I'm using it for comparative purposes...

It states it in the thread, having cpu at 1.9ghz is not economical with battery consumption and performance, it Is best at 1.7ghz

You should monitor your CPU temp and frequency while benching.
You would see that your CPU's temp probably goes above 70°C if not higher and so the kernel thermal throttling policies would downclock your CPU's max freq. in order to keep your CPU "cool".
If you first bench @ 1944MHz then bench @ a litle lower frequency and have very lower score then its not because of the lower freq. but because you did first heat up your CPU @ 1944 and when you re-run @ lower freq. your CPU is already very hot and so does a severe thermal throttling.
Last point : running your CPU @ 1944MHz is not good since thermal throttling while happen every now and then.
Not convinced?
Then simply launch the camera app and try to take a video of 5 mins...your CPU will become so hot that it will downclock to something ridiculously low and your recording will become jerky.
As stated in the post, does heavily underclocking your CPU go against what you're trying to do?
My reason for asking is this - lower per core speed = more cores active at once. Does this increase battery usage rather than decrease it?
I know the answer is probably really simple, but I'm not so sure. I haven't exactly been monitoring battery usage, but it seems to be a touch worse some days and better some.
Oh yes, and I've set my speeds to
Min freq- 300mHz (because why not?)
Max freq- 960mHz (real low.)
CPU governor - dancedance
GPU max freq- 578mHz
GPU governor - msm-adreno-tz
And I'm using Intelliplug.
Thanks in advance guys! ?

yes it does kind of defeat the perpose since from frequency to frequency (per step) it is +40 mv while activating a new core is 800 mv(minimum)
So, going by what you've just said, what frequencies should I use? 300 min and 1497 max?

As I'm the typical user that underclocks because I don?t use games or heavy apps I'm used to use some apps to do this, but, they are very outdated (setCPU, our dead friend) or they are incompatible... francokernel, trickster mod, kernel adiutor... you can lock freqs but the CPU doesn't give a duck about those apps...
Why? and... is there any way to underclock?
I can live with hotpluged cores limited to 1200mhz and a gpu to 4450mhz... I think we would improve the battery a lot but... we can't limit the cpu-gpu..

Kernel adiutor works perfectly fine...i have been using it with no issue since i got my g4 2 months ago...also i have found to save battery it's bettet to raise lower clock speeds to 633 and 460...at stock setting it wakes and throttles way more than it should...it stays more stable at these speeds and i get amazing standby time...also smoothes out a bit of lag...this has been my experience on all my g line devices

Its not working for me, ine I set max to 1200 i can see processor clock going to 1400, also gpu does the same

It works perfectly for me also. Did you click the apply on boot setting?
Speaking about CPU core frequencies, will SetCPU work? I have another question, I noticed when looking at the CPU with various programs, it's always 1.2Ghz, doesn't the G4 actually have a Hexa(6) core 1.8Ghz CPU, what happened to the other 600Mhz?
Any one else notice how high the minimum click speed is foe the CPU? It's showing at once 600 MHz? Is there a purpose behind this?
Can't get the pics to attach for some reason. Used CPU spy to check and the built in help app on the device.

600 Mhz is fast enough to take care of background tasks as they pop up since the a53 cores in the snapdragon 625 are not very fast, but are highly efficient. The CPU also has a power state lower than 600 mhz which is the sleep state, if you check kernel auditor it will tell you how much your cpu is in the sleep state, which should be most of the time your phone is asleep. If your CPU is not in the sleep state while off you probably have a wakelock preventing your phone from going into deep sleep.

Thanks. I get what you're saying. But, my post is geared more so as to why there aren't any clock speeds below the 652 MHz such as 422 and 300 MHz to handle the lower loads and background tasks such as in the snapdragon 810 etc.

Honestly, I dont know. From what I can tell the snapdragon 625 has a similar configuration of big and LITTLE cores as the snapdragon 808 and 810 had, but the cores are all the same, just 2 seperate clusters. Maybe during testing they found 600 mhz was an effective frequency to keep the other 4 cores from coming out of sleep mode. Once again though, as long as you dont have wake locks or intentionally keep your phone awake it shouldnt make much of a difference whether your minimum frequency is 300 mhz or 600 mhz. Even during normal usage it is entirely possible to only run on 4 cores and leave the other 4 in sleep mode.
