Let's OC

It's time to Overclock our Phone...
DISCLAIMER: OVERCLOCK IS DANGEROUS FOR OUR PHONES
How to:
1. Now download r151 from Here
2. Put the files of r151 in the root of SD, run HARET.
3. Download SetCPU from Here and install It.
4. Now open SetCPU, And choice "Autodetect Speeds Reccomanded".
5. Allow Root.
6. Press Windows button and choice "Perflock Disabler" and "Attemp to Disable Perflock" and Check "Set on Boot".
7. Now, close the windows and OC our Phone.
My phone under USB and AC run at 825 MHz without Crash, i had tryed to run it at 864 MHz but System Crash everytime. Without USB and AC my phone run at 787 MHz. I Post 2 Images 1. = Normal Clock 2. = 825 MHz Clock.
To Made Benchmark i Use BenchmarkPi.
1. Screen Normal Clock
2. Screen 825MHz
For Other Question:
1. SetCPU
2. -r0bin-'s Post

I did it, it works perferctly !
Upscaled to 825 and min 128
Downscaled to 245 while charging and screen off
Thanks !

My Profiles:
1. Screen Off Min: 19 MHz Max: 245 MHz
2. In Call: Min: 128 MHz Max: 600 MHz
3. Charging AC: Min: 19 MHz Max: 825 MHz
4. Charging USb: Min: 19 MHz Max: 825 MHz
5. Main Profile: Min: 19 MHz Max: 787 MHz

Tell me please, does it helps to save the battery in last releace (r163)? I`m asking becouse i try to use Master CPU, and it seems to me that it don`t helps to save energy... But I don`t use profiles, only ondemand settings from 120-600 mHz.
Thanks!

@HTCxxxx
what is the percentage priority by profile?

In Call is 100
And Screen Off 100 too.

19 Mhz does not work for me. Phone gets unusable slow and dont come back :/
Beside that, underclocking do not have a big influence on the battery consumtion.
Undervolting would be more interesting.

Why Unusable??? Yhea, Undervolting can be an Interesting Thing, but i Think if the Volting is too low phone Freeze, and if is too high cpu can have an High temperature if you're stressing cpu and phone can freeze too. But i've noted, when i use a low "screen off" profile battery consumaption is high? why? is a problem of kernel? or is nomal?

you are right,i also experienced that 19 Mhz makes phone lazy
i'm also agree about 2nd part..i read the same

you don't need to undervolt it too low,you just need to find the right voltage
try last kernel from r0bin and you will not have high battery consumption anymore

Low Mhz does not lead automaticly to low consumtion.
If you phone has something todo (update something for example) it will get the job done faster with high Mhz and is going fastert to sleep after that.
With low Mhz it takes longer and so can have higher consumtion.
On my HD2 I dont use profiles (like screen off) and it has a very low consumtion on standby/sleep.

If you set a minimum speed when screen is off a11 is not able to go to suspend, maybe

just a quick feedback on power consumption:
it never been so good with r167+drain fix without SetCPU
when I set profiles with low frequency (19 or 128Mhz) it keeps on consuming battery up to 100mA. when i switch SetCPU profiles off, i go to 9mA in suspend mode.
true story
there must be a way to setup SetCPU in a way it doesnt affect too much battery drain in suspend mode, but for the time being i just deactivated it.

yes i see some improvement, and im happy for it...

(I THINK)
Hi All,
I've understood why CPU doesn't run @ 19MHz or @ 128 MHz...
Go to /sys/acpucloclock and look acpuclk_tbl...In It there are write all frequencies CPU can Run:
245760,400000,480000,600000,768000,787200,806400,825600,844800,864000....
but no Under 245 MHz so if You use a Profile for Screen off From 19MHz to 254MHz, cpu Run everytime @ 245MHz...so there is an high consummation of energy
bye

hi
as codiak said earlier lowering CPU(underclocking) doesn't have so much impact on battery life..he also explained you why..if you want i will explain you too
explanation:run CPU at low voltage,open an app or downloading an email,etc= CPU will take time to get to the level app needs,display will stay longer while it CPU will get done the job= worse battery life
Undervolting will have impact on battery life
explanation:run same CPU clock at lower Voltage= CPU will use less power=better battery life
hope it's clear enough for you now,and if anyone else thinks i'm wrong feel free to prove me i'm wrong
P.S. Anyway i asked devs and they will lower CPU to run @ less than 245 Mhz.
Enjoy

[Q] Overlocking Values in SetCPU?

I have at max: 1200 MHz ,at min 83 and in typeerformance, are these values corecct or wrong for a custom rom?
-Greeting-
PD:Andro's Rom (3 days for release)

Yes, or no, because you need a screen off profile or your battery life will be damn short.

I think this should be in the general section and i recommend using the conservative governor over the performance since conservative goes to the minimum frequency when phone is not being used i.e. when screen is off. This is best for performance since it automatically goes to the maximum frequency when screen is on and when screen is off it goes to the minimum which is good for battery.

1200 is too high....
It will damage your battery....
I use 100 MHz to 800 MHz....
Its average and most of the users use the same....

I think that is a very wise thing to do. I shall see how my phone runs at that speed.

Oks.thx.
Now:
MAX:800
MIN:83
Type: Conservative.
Are these values correctly now?

Lol! Did you make a mistake by posting this question in the development section? Suppose to put at general section.

P.S If my post have helped you, don't feel shy to click the thanks button

That frecuency will eat your battery.
I use my SetCPU at frecuencies 400-800Mhz, and use profiles for screen off (83-400Mhz), battery <20% (200-600Mhz), time (2am-6am) (83-83Mhz powersave)
always on demand (except time profile)
Greetings

My config is
Main 400-800 Mhz Ondemand Set on boot
Profiles
Temp >45°C 200-500 Mhz priority 100 Ondemand
time 2am-6am 83-83 Mhz priority 95 powesave
screen off 83-500 Mhz priority 90 Ondemand
Battery <20% 200-600 Mhz priority 80 Ondemand
I have g3mod 2.0 OC kernel
Greetings

I just use basic settings, no profiles or anything. Look in my signature.
I may add a few profiles after my lil bro is finished playing games on my phone.

My battery temp is 39 degrees Celsius is it that a good tempeture?

anything between 83 and 800 would work like charm and enough for day to day tasks..use conservative governor..set profile for screen off and on call..

SetCPU Help

Hi. Trying to understand SetCPU.
There are two things I don't understand. That is MAX MHZ and MIN MHz...
Have seen some screenshots that people only change the MAX MHz. Why? And why not MIN MHz?

In essence it's to let the phone run at slower speeds when it can. This helps keep the phone cool and preserve battery power.
When I used SetCPU I used to create profiles to slow the phone down (lower the MAX) progressively as the battery % got lower. I also set it to Lowest/Very low when the screen was off.
Even now on my Sensation I'm at 192/648 screen on and 182/384 screen off. Obviously YMMV, it depends if the stuff you do on the phone works well enough at the lower frequencies. If I find it too low for something I just crank it up.

[Q] Set cpu settings tips.

I am using:
Rom: Insertcoin
Kernel: Bricked 1.5
Could you give me some tips to setup the best way setcpu.
I've seen some guys mentioning setting lowest frequency to around 400 and etc. and I don't know why. Could you give me some advice on setting up the program correctly.

Hi, I personally set the lowest frequency to somewhere around the 500mhz and smaller and set the govenor to ondemand as this will only use the the speed of your kernel when its needed thus, will use less battery.

Why around 500mhz and not 194. And will 5 sec refresh on the widget drain much battery? It's now on passive because I don't want to loose battery on bull****.

I put at 500mhz because sometimes the phone may slow down on its own and I don't think that setting the refresh rate to 5sec will steal much battery because its only a small widget

Any more opinions? Would be nice

Don't set it to 500 minimum. This will lock the phone to at least 500 mhz at all times and will cause substantial battery drain.
Go with 192 minimum or the next step up.

+1 on that.
My personal settings (most of the time) are:
Screen On 192/648
Screen Off 192/384
Governer OnDemand
Sometimes I up the frequency if I need to run something heavy, not all that often though.

agreed 192 minimum is much better. if you are having issues with the phone being slow then get rid of sense...

Just wanted to say thanks to the three users above this post as I tried 192mhz and it is in fact a lot better now (please realise I've only just turned 17 and play a lot of games hence 500mhz)

set CPU for sensation XE

my phone is sensation XE and now with Ordroid 1.8.3 ROM.
I heard that setcpu can help extend battery power life, but when I tested the setCPU on my sensation XE, I did not see that the battery life was extended at all. If you set underclock for the CPU when screen off, it became a little laggy when you get the screen on...in a word, I don't think it is useful for our daily use of the phone...
What you think and could you let me know your experience of using the setCPU?

Yes you are right if we underclock unlocking the phone become laggy.its because the max clock cycle will reduce to very low..i am using CPU tuner in which i increase the max clock rate while screen off little more..do one thing..increase underclock Max clock frequency little bit more..so that it will not slow during unlocking.....try it ..

That's a good advice. Thanks, I will try it for sure...
BTW, is it really power saving to underclock the CPU when screen off?

yes it saves but when somebody calls then the alert will be late,probably vibrate first and after 3s backlight will be on and finally it rings!!!!
hit thanks if it helps!!
