[Q] Overclocking the Inspire? - HTC Inspire 4G

Hi guys,
I just flashed my Inspire to the RCMix3D ROM. Is there a way to overclock the Inspire? I've seen a few apps on the market for it, like setcpu, but I'm not sure where a good place to start is. That and underclocking to help save battery life. Sorry if this is a repeat thread. Couldn't find any relevant to the ROM I have.
Thanks in advance!

Imm on a similar ROM. RcMix Kingdom rom and I use CPU master free from the market. I underclock to: 245 and overclock anywhere from 1.2 to 1.7 usually with a conservative setting to save battery life. It works rele well.

Get setcpu from the Market, works great!

Just be careful when overclocking. Don't overclock too high. It can cause issues and if you have set on boot checked, it can a real pain if you set it too high. I usually don't go any higher than 1200 mhz.

coredroid is good
The newest version of Coredroid (v.8.1) allows for a 2ghz overclock! be careful tho, as running the processor that fast WILL make the phone very hot! and drain your battery. If for some reason tho you need the performance, its there.

I'd be EXTREMELY careful running your CPU at that speed. 1.5 has been considered "safe" by most people, but anything over that and you're tempting fate. Sure, it's cool to see your phone running at 1.8 or 1.9ghz, but your CPU is going to be forced waaaay out of its specifications and it's possible to damage it beyond repair. This is especially true if you are over-volting. Heat + Voltage = CPU Killers. However, even if you aren't over-volting, it could still draw more power than it was designed to do, thereby increasing heat, overstressing CPU and power supply...
So yeah, be careful.
Thanks man i just OC to this point to se what this phone can do i think this is the first and last High Quadrant can reach becauce later on the day i try to repeat the same benchmark and no reach the 3400 points. I think the CPU was enought stressed and now cant handle 1.9 Ghz. freq. but is cool. Right Now im running with LordMod 4 CFS clocked at 1.3 Ghz and works greathe. this give me 2700 +/- Quadrants and its enought power to make all kind of task and apps running a breeze.
Running any LorDMod kernel results in no wifi for me. I'm being lazy with manually pushing the .ko file though, so I dunno.
WiFi works fine here. Im. Use cyanogen mode 7 with lordmod 4.0

You'll need a combination of a custom KERNEL (that supports O/C) and a custom ROM (some come with an O/C daemon built in)
time for some reading.
Ok, so one more question just in case. May I use any ROM with any kernel or I have to match ROM to kernel (or opposite)?
Generally I would say custom roms come with the most suitable kernel.
The easiest way to overclock is to simply download an app from the market that will o/c your cpu.

Although I'd also as that unless you'r e intending on playing games then the desire s should be fast enough without over clocking as ultimately that will reduce battery life.even the sense 3 rooms when configured and optimised correctly don't lag at normal operating speeds

You're still on stock ROM right?
If so, install this kernel from recovery and SetCPU once done. OC away.

Yes, it would go a little faster
Seriously tho, it might run a little hotter, for a shorter length of time, and be slightly less stable - all depending on how much you overclock it, what settings you use, etc.
Try downloading an app from the market that will overclock your cpu and see what happens.
Sent from my HTC Desire S
And NEVER max the oc setting. Some kernels allow up to 1.7ghz but your phone would be fried in a week and be incredibly unstable. Can't recommend going past 1.2ghz if you want your phone to last til your next upgrade date. For the most part though, oc is unnecessary on this phone.

I just read somewhere in other forum, if I overclock my phone, I will have problem on my phone.
Maybe because of the cpu overheat or what?
Basically, yes.
Why not use the phone as it is, and see how you like it? If you do decide to overclock, do it in small increments. Honestly, I find it fast enough at normal speeds, playing games, browsing, etc.

+1 to you. 1Ghz already fast enough. No lagging at all like some other phone.

I was quite interested in this overclocking buisness. I overcloked my phne to 1.7ghz, used it for a while and it froze twice, requiring a reboot.
There was definitely a speed incresas, but 1ghz on lbc mod is already plenty smooth!
Now I've set up setcpu profiles to have myphone only overclocked at 1.2ghz when its chargingand I'm using it. But also a profile to limit the temp at 41degrees to 825-245mhz.
But when its unplugged, u have left it on default at 1024-245mhz on demand. Great battery life compromised with great speed.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Maybe you'll need a voltage bump at 1.7GHz. But even if it's stable, it will definitely be hotter. Not good for long term.
1.1-1.2GHz should be stable for daily use.

[Q] overclock 1.5ghz...yes or not?

hi, I'm running android revolution, the rom works fine...during the flash 4ext ask me what kernel I want, if stock or 1.5ghz...
what do you think about? battery? cpu damage?
all softwares run very well, I don't think is necessary to set cpu at 1.5....but have more power is better XD
suggestions? can I use any software to set the cpu clock?
I'm using vi4.0 at 1.512ghz. I'm actually impressed with the 13-15 hours of text/call/video/music mid to high usage.

but is better? more...reactive, speed?
I think 1.2Ghz is sufficient for a Sensation !
All games don't lag on 1.2Ghz..
I am also using ARHD 6.3 and overclocked to 1.83ghz. I did not notice a difference in battery life. But my phone is noticeably very fast! I am using "setcpu" apk.

You will notice a difference in speed and responsiveness! You can always try and if you don't think that it is worth the slightly reduced battery life you can always revert to stock! ( i'm running IC 5.11 on 1.5 GHz and i get 1.5 day with moderate to heavy usage ). Don't worry it is safe as the CPU of the sensation is meant to run at 1.5 GHz ( like the sensation XE )!
ok, I did it, works fine, very very responsive....that's good!....
but!....I want smartassv2!....smartass at least!...
here there are only default governors!
are there kernels compatible with android revolution?
and is not clear, setcpu works with dual core CPUs?

The source code for the 3.0 kernel isn't released yet, so all that can be done are hex edits. Because of this, only the default governors are availible.

The overclocked kernels are compatible with every ICS ROM.

SetCPU is compatible with dual core CPUs, however it turns core 2 permanently on. You can use System Tuner if you don't want this.
thanks a lot, any link or suggest for a good kernel?

[Q] Galaxy Note i717 OC help.

Hey guys,
Quick question, I hope it's not redundant but I looked around and didn't see a similar thread. I just rooted my Galaxy Note i717 using Odin and have installed CWM Recovery. The main reason I wanted to root was to overclock my phone slightly. My question is, what is the best app for over clocking the stock ROM and what are some safe values. I've seen some extremes such as a max of 1900+ and a min of 350 ish, I know that's bad for battery life though. I was thinking around 1600-1700 max and a min of 250 ish. I'd like to have better performance but I dont want suckish battery life, preferably still a day on a charge. But i'm new to all this and really have no clue.
Thanks!
Set cpu, no frills, antutu, CPU tuner, they all get the job done in my opinion

Ok cool. So I have setCPU now. And apparently the max values have already been acheived. Does this mean I need to have a custom ROM to go over the stock 1500 mhz?

Shyamjptpm is correct, not all the ROM support cpu overclock, when choosing a ROM you need to search for a custom ROM where is specified that support overclock, then I dont know your android phone but there's also a good chance that no ROMs present the overclock feature.

Undervolting my sensation

I'm a noobey and I really don't understand how to undervolt my phone could some explain how to undervolt a sensation for better battery,etc.I would greatly appreciate it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
Under voting works by reducing the amount of power drawn to the phone at a selected frequency. You can do this with an app like system tuner or setcpu. However I can't give you a set of voltages for it, because usually there's minor differences in the hardware of people's phones, which means some values may work for some and not others. I would advise to try reducing the values slowly, and do some research on other people's values to see what they have been able to reduce to.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Is this undervolting I use CPU set and I keep it at min 192mhz to 918 MHz.I thought this was called underclocking.Am I wring or correct.How do you actually set stuff to mv?I don't see and settings on there for mv.and what are all the different things that I can actually down set the mv on.could someone please explain alittle more.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
What you did is underclocking, which saves battery but also reduces performance. Undervolting needs a kernel that supports it. You can set the mV for every mHz. I usually put it 50-62,5 mV lower than the standard voltage.
@ mesaman2012
Download System tuner (or Buy its Pro Version)
Start System Tuner.
Tap on "Voltage" button (in 2nd last row)
there u can increase or decrease the voltage (by -12.5mv to +12.5mv)
after u got ur desired voltage Tap on save to save it.
Simple....isnt it ?
I set all the setting to the lowest +12.5 volts.I hope that's alright.any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Does the way I have my phone underclocked matter with undervolting at all?I keep my phone at 192mhz to 918 MHz for just normal use.I undervolted everything down as far as it would go then I +12.5 and when I was using it right away my phone shut off.so I then did another +12.5 and now so far its running alright.I'm going to do a scalling stability test next.If I'm doing anything incorrect let me know please I'm just a noobey. Thanks!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
The only way the underclocking influences the undervolting is that you have less mHz values to set the mV for, so for example if you underclocked to +/- 1200 you can't set the voltage for 1500.

I'll try to report back in a week or so. I went from running the standard 384-1.51 to 384-1.72, to now running 192-810, testing undervolting as well. Will have to play more for sure.
Previously, I had the screen off, not in call max frequency set to 810, while screen on was stock xe. I noticed quite a bit of time at 810, so something is consuming excessive cpu clocks when the screen is off.
The major bummer I'm coming across is that system tuner cannot undervolt below 800mv. Since the phone is ideally spending most of its time at the lowest fid/vid state (192 or 384 for example), there's a good chance of stability below 800mv. I haven't done too much research yet to see if this is possible with some other means, but this may help a bit in standby. Of course, if I could just keep the damn screen off, I'd probably be in better shape.
How much less battery do AMOLED screens consume? Saw a One S today, and it does look pretty damn sleek.

Thanks. I've been running Faux's kernels ever since I got my Sensation. I wonder if he'd consider adding the feature. How low are you able to go stably below 800mv and at what frequencies? Figure if I'm going to be idling at 192 or 384mhz, I'd like to get that voltage as low as possible.
