Overclocking the G2X to 1.5Ghz

If I have CM7 #54, do I need a special kernel or not?
SetCPU is not detecting the frequencies for me
I am using CPUMaster but I have the free version only
What is the best software to overclock automatically?
I also want profiles (Battery temp, battery %, screen off...)
In Quadrant I got 3000 points with 1.5Ghz
Now I only need to find a way to overclock it and have all the profiles and boot overclock work right out of the box
Thanks a lot

Sooooo you over clocked to it to 1.5, but yet you still need to find a way to do it?? Read..... all the answers are in this very section....
Oh by the way wrong section to post.

ok first set cpu will not be able to oc for you. use pimp my cpu you should be able to find it if you do a search. second if you want to oc use faux's kernel for that.

4500 with faux rom 1.2.4 and 0.2.2 kernel.

I used SetCPU before on my OptimusT, and it was actually working pretty good, BUT NOT ON LGE STAR. For now, the best overlocking app for LGE STAR is PimpMyCPU WITH CUSTOMIZED KERNEL.
With FR and Faux's kernel, you can easily get 4000+ on Quadrant.
With GB and its own kernel, I think we just get like 3000+

Oh 1 more thing, T-mobile doesn't release the GB update for LGE Star yet. The CM project is built based on the GB source code only...

Use pimp my cpu, setcpu doesn't let you overclock. It only shows your cpu speed but nothing else.

I thoroughly tested OC on CM with different kernels. I got the best results with the Trinity kernel. My highest recorded Quadrant score was 4920 and I averaged 4690 over 10 trials with that configuration.

Setcpu; best kernel?

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?

How to "use" kernals

edit: yes I know right after I hit the submit thread button I realized I spelled kernel wrong
I just flashed faux's 0.1.2 1.56 GHz NoHz kernel, and everything worked fine. My question is to do with utilizing the kernel for what it can do. I checked my cpu speeds via adb, and the max speed is indeed just stock. Now, I would love to utilize the 1.56 GHz capability of this kernel, but in the first post of his thread faux says not to use any OC apps and I also remember from reading through another thread (I think the Dual-Core support discussion thread) that he doesn't recommend the OC Daemon either. How are people OC'ing if you can't use OC apps or OC Daemon? I vaguely remember seeing a post/thread once that had to do with manually entering clock speeds, but I can't remember where it was. So my question for this part is how can I get the cpu up to speeds I want to like other people are doing (basically, is there a manual way or some other way I don't know about or is everyone just using OC apps/OC Daemon against faux's wishes)?
This part is to do with governors. I can find a wealth of information on what particular governors are designed to do. "This governor is designed to conserve battery when the screen is off" "this governor is designed for maximum performance" yada yada. What i can't find is how you choose which governor your phone uses. I used adb to check available governors and it gives me "ondemand performance". I assume this means that my phone/kernel is currently using that governor. Cool. But how do I switch to a different governor if I want to? It looks like SetCPU allows you to change governors, but is that the only way?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Shouldnt need oc app with his kernels mine is at 1.56 ever since i flashed it.
On demand is the only one that properly works with dual core processor. Even with an oc app you can only select on demand or performance and you wouldnt want to use that governor since it forces the cpu to work at max frequency at all times. To use oc daemon you need the virtous oc scaling files to select frequencies

Thanks. I'm curious then why faux includes smartass in his thread if on demand is the only one that works properly. I'm also not sure why mine is at stock clock speed, but it definitely is. So is oc daemon the way I should try to bump it up to 1.56?

I believe the smartass governor is supposed to have buipt in profiles like the ones you can make in a app like setCPU. so a cpu tuner would be pointless with the smartass.
And yes i prefer oc daemon to other apps like it. The newest one is like 2.1.3 i think. You are also gonna need the folder "vituous oc" with 6 files governors for screen on and off and min and max frequency. One file for each. Im on ARHD 3.0.4 with 0.1.0 kernal so it already came with the folder in system/etc/virtuous_oc

Freezes on overclock..

I'm trying to get some more juice out of my tablet and even a 1.23 ghz overclock will cause the tablet to freeze up.
Does this fall under "your tablet may vary" type of situation? Cause it looks like my tablet is a piece of crap lol

Possibly or could be the Kernel you are using, or could be the overclocking app you are using
I used Clemsyns Kernel with setCPU and could bench @ 1.6ghz

how to set Setcup to overclock 1.6ghz?

I failed to overclock 1.6ghz. It just works at 1.33ghz. how to set Setcpu??

Not all tf will be able to oc to 1.6ghz. Some don't like to be oc at all. Yeah the YMMV does apply to OC'ing

Damn I'm jealous. Mine benches barely at 1.23ghz. I tried both on the Revolution HD Rom with Daemon app and also using Revolver + Clemsyn v22 + setCPU.

I have to give it a week or so to see how battery consumption is.
You guys' phones are so heavily undervolted.
No performance problems with that? Music playback difficulties?

No problems for me. And performance governor means the phone stays at max frequency all the time. You should never use it for real usage just for testing.

Undervolting has zero to do with performance. The danger with undervolting is instability. If you undervolt too much, you'll crash because your CPU can't draw enough power to do an operation.
A certain CPU is able to do a certain amount of work in a given clock cycle, and that amount of work does not change in the slightest with voltage.
EDIT: Also, as JihadSquad said, performance keeps your CPU at 100% maximum clock speed at all times. It doesn't let it slow down. It is brutal on a battery for no real world gain.

Anyone notice when using smart ass governor it won't overclock to 1400 , it can over chick anything else but not 1400 for some reason so I have it at 1440

Lucky lucky piece of silicon right there. Mine can only get to 1400 and at 1440 it starts freezing sometimes, 1500 unusable.

I can only get 1300 on mine. 1400 randomly reboots on me after a while.

Or unlucky. At SetCPU's default for 1500MHz, it's running +325mV (+27.7%) from stock. So it's either really good silicon or a contender for a replacement in a few months.

For one thing, you're running an EP4 kernel with a FP1 rom and radio. Install a FP1 kernel, either stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582470) or PBJ (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/137-05-04-12peanutbutta-jelly-time/) and go from there.

I think I need to deal with the file system first. I have that discussion going in another thread.
Perhaps Odin back to stock and reapplying changes in order is in order.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik. I like doing it before and after flashing kernel and rom.... don't forget to mount system, if that does not do it mount everything.... post the steps you have used before so we can better help you.

Try to fix permissions before leaving CWM. That has worked for some people trying to go back to stock.
