so i just bought this phone from a friend, he had it rooted when i bought it, seems every kernel i try the max is always at 1000 instead of higher options and my governor scaling does not let me choose any options as well,tried 2 different kernels and same for both any ideas how to fix, would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried pimpmycpu? For some reason set CPU doesn't work

Buy and use pimp my cpu.
Set cpu doesn't seem to work with this phone for now for what ever reason.

There is a free version of pimp my cpu somewhere I here.
The developer of that app post it somewhere else I this forums. Is ok to download it from this forums for free.

I tryed it once and didn't seem to work it didn't have any goveners to choose from either.or maybe I just ain't used to it ill try again thanks for the reply.I thought maybe he messed something up in the root process
Probably the dual core is messing with setcpu and it needs an update for it to work properly. I could be wrong but that's my guess. Are u using a custom rom that allows for oc? Cm7 has a setting for it so no need for an app to control it

governor
I tryed pimp my CPU.seams to overclock but governor has no choices is it just me or is everyone's like that?
tegra2 controls the governers so they dont give you the option to change as of yet, that is untill one of our genious devs figures a way around that as well.
I see thanks for letting me know that. thought something was wrong on my end

So I found a kernel on the Fascinate forums that was built off of our EC10 froyo source that was from nemesis2all and I saw that he had added the ability to overclock and undervolt from within the ROM so I installed it just trying (backed up of course) and found that it does indeed work.
I then got the Voltage control app from the market and started playing around doing Quadrant scores throughout after each change. I found that at 1200 mhz I was getting 1600s instead of 1400s and the phone ran great. But when I tried 1400 mhz the phone froze up and restarted while doing the CPU section of the Quadrant test so I reverted back.
My question is, what would be safe to stay at for general use?
Second question, how do you use the voltage app to undervolt I see the settings but I don't know what to set them too.
Here is the link to the kernel
1200 has proven to be the most stable overclock, any higher and it will freeze up eventually.
With voltage control, the way it works is that you set the max clock and then it will give you increments that the phone will automatically clock to within the guidelines you give it. Then for each increment you can set the voltage it will use. Just look around and experiment with voltages, see how low you can go without having issues and never set it to apply at boot unless you know that's what you want, other than that go crazy and a reboot will fix it if you have a problem.
I recommend keeping setCPU installed along with it, that way you can still force it to underclock or overclock or whatever. It all depends on how much you use the phone and what for.

I've been running overclocked at 1.3 and undervolted at least 50 for a couple days now. Only one issue and I'm not even sure it was related as it janet happened again. I posted my settings in the otb thread if you're curious.

H'm, I tried going up to 1.3 and it would freeze up after 5 or 10 minutes every time.
Like I said, 1.2 is the only one that has proven to be safe for everybody... not each phone is exactly the same and if akellars CPU has a soldering that is done a little bit different than mine, it might allow him to clock a little higher. who knows
Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
I've been running it for a week @ 1400 -25 undervolted and haven't had any issues. The new 1.6 gives me trouble. I don't think there's enough overvolting in that one to make it stable for pretty much anyone. I use the 1400, 800, 400, 200 steps all undervolted @50 except 1400 which as mentioned is -25. Battery life is good because during sleep it doesnt really hit the high end and by not having the other steps its snappy when in use. Fastest this phone has been by far. I don't use setcpu because I think it and the voltage app conflict. That was nemisis's instruction to install it.

Yup I'm just lucky 1.4 worked for me too but I didn't see much of a performance difference so I didn't see the need to stress the cpu out anymore than I already was. battery life had been awesome for me with my setup as well.

yep... I have profiles set.
but if u can't put scaling on demand then how is it working.
sent from my G2X with no regrets
Correct me if I'm wrong. All scaling does is how the CPU scales itself(to a given formula depending on the profile) for example if using a conservative scale the CPU scales itself by 15mhz depending on the task so if your min is 218 it would go up or down by 15 until it reaches the maximum or min. Since no kernals are available yet for our device it will use the default scaling profile built in. my screen off profile is a Max 218 Min 218 with a priority of 100. Regardless of the scaling profile selected I am forcing the CPU to down clock to that set of perimeters

You are correct in that CPU scales itself based on the parameters Nvidia gave it. In this particular kernel there is only one governer by default (this is why you cannot alter the governor settings) and it's set to Performance Powersave. The scaling driver used according to the source code is tegra_cpufreq. I haven't dug far enough through the code to figure out what that means but it appears most frequencies are in intervals of 24mhz.
so i've been hesitant to use my setcpu. just wondering what everyone set their profiles to. lol
Overclock? Dualcore! WTF? lol its like ocing my mt4g to 2ghz... Cool to show off but really worth the risk? As well as side effects?

I would attempt three things before seeking any further escalation. First I would try running fix permissions using rom manager /cwm if that doesn't work delete the apk using root explorer and reinstall the software if that doesn't work create a nand backup of your device and start from scratch. Setcpu should work with the tegra2 plus the developer you reach out to regarding this will ask you to do this regardless.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Ok when you guys first start SetCpu (after clean install), what screen do you guys get? And what selection do you make?
When i first boot the phone I have a whole bunch of options to select on which device I use. The first one should be tegra2.

If you download the kernel listed in my sig, then you can flash it via Clockwork Recovery. As far as the governers, I'm not too familiar with them myself, but here is a little info about some of them. I believe Smartass is a little newer or made for specific kernels, so there doesn't seem to be much info on that one.
Pretty much trial and error and see what one works best for you. With LeeDroid's latest kernel, SetCPU lets you go as high as 1800Mhz or so, and I had it set to that as max, with 500Mhz (or whatever setting was closest to it), but just lowered my OC a bit to a little over 1000Mhz to try and get some more battery life out of it.
Okay thank you very much. Nobody got back to me last night. I had leedroid new kernel an i flashed it, and I noticed a HUGE difference in how fast it was.
When downloading new ROMS like some say data+++, aosp, an so on.... What does all that mean? I'm very new to all this but slowly catching on.
Also I don't have set CPU, you have to buy it... I have no frills CPU

Even though I've been rooting since my Captivate in August of last year, I'm still a newbie as well. All I can suggest is: Read, Read, and Read some more. That is how I learned a lot, asking questions only when I had exhausted my search- fu.
A lot of the times the answer you need has been answered by someone in some thread.
I'm new to the G2x, but not rooting, specifically. I've rooted the phone via NVFlash, and installed the latest Weapon X. I'm pretty much just looking for some general information on which kernels to use. I'm looking for a kernel that will let me change governors. For some reason, SetCPU would not let me select a governor after flashing faux's kernel. I'm not sure which CPU settings to use in SetCPU. I selected the nVidia Tegra 2 as a setting, but it would only let me underclock the CPU, and not select any governors.
A bit of help?
Not sure but our CPU doesn't use governers or something to that effect.

I see. I just came over from the EVO yesterday, where there are so many different governors between stock ones and custom implimentations by devs over there. Now what about being able to overclock in SetCPU?
Could some give me a quick rundown on undervolting a kernel. I'm using faux's 0.4.2 oc/uv cm7 kernel. From my understanding its already undervolted but I'm confused about whether I should/can adjust those settings for better results or if I should leave them alone.
Info greatly appreciated.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Each chip is built differently, so you have to experiment on that yourself. That kernel may already be undervolted but it may not be right for you. I say adjust until you hit instability and then go from there.

Yes anytime you make you phone do something it didn't do from the factory there is a chance you could damage your device..its thx to all the great devs and people that test that make it easier and less likely also the more you read and understand what it is you are actually doing to the device helps alot!
If you have a kernel able to be overclocked/undervolted yes just use set CPU to adjust the settings.
All chips are different just cause a specific setting is working for someone else means it will work the same for you!
That being said I use:
Trigger 8/22 rom with faux123'a 0.4.2 kernel.
My settings:
Max-1408mhz
Min-389mhz
And have 1.1 GHz down to 389 mhz undervolted by 50 and no undervolt above 1.1
also have different profiles set for screen off and in call..
Good luck how this helps..

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I'll be more weary of fooling around with settings. I'll probably set mine similar to yours.
Thanks everyone. I understood that setcpu would be used for the changes I was more wondering what the changes would do. Like undervolting by 50 for instance, what does that give as far as battery life? Im a moderate to heavy user and I only get roughly 8 hours off the charger before it needs to be back on, great signal all day too.
I suppose I'll just have to tinker with it till I get crashes then adjust from there.

How do u get the undervoltage adjustment? i have set cpu and when i try the voltage button on set cpu, i got forced closed. Thanks in advance.
Sounds like a bad install, try uninstalling setcpu then re-installing it or fix permissions in CWM or terminal
su
fix permissions
Used to have that issue too. Try the setcpu available here on the forums, I think that's the one the worked for me.
