I use the SetCPU on the HTC Sensation 4G, it looks like it only scaling the cpu0. I am overclocking it to 1.5GHz but when I query the cpu frequency I don't see it on cpu1.
can somebody run the fallowing lines on adb shell to see if the scaling works for you?
Code:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
cpu0 gives 1512000 for me but cpu1 gives 1188000
ps cpu1 goes idle and this file becomes unavaliable, I run linpack run multi-thread just before I query the cpu1.

How did you even get the Setcpu to recognize the sensation's 1.2ghz? How did you detect the device?!

Custom kernel but setcpu definitely isn't working right with them either. Still not 100% compatible with our asynchronous cpu.

I have a custom kernel that supports 1.8ghz. but setcpu only allows 998 to be the maximum when i click nexus one/snapdragon. I don't know what other options i have.
If you have a custom kernel that supports it (most do i think) setcpu should have an option to autodetect. You shouldn't have to select a device. If autodetect isn't available try uninstalling setcpu and reinstalling it. None of the device selections will work for us because our device/chipset isn't supported for manual selection (yet).
If You're using a custom kernel then delete set cpu and use an OC Daemon like the Virtuous Daemon with Unity Kernel or user Android Rev HD and Mike's OC Daemon with any compatible custom kernel -- which depends on if you're using a 2.3.3 or a 2.3.4 ROM.

How easy is it to employ the OC Daemon and a kernal for it? Is it something we can just DL to out SD card?
Yes Dude, just flash a custom rom. If you're on a 2.3.3 based rom there's plenty of custom kernels and if you're on a 2.3.4 based rom just flash The Unity V6 or V7 kernel which should come with the virtuous OVERCLOCK Daemon included as part of the flashable.zip that you can find in the Leedroid ROM's thread in development.

I just checked with insert coin 2.3.4 rom scaling governor of the cpu0 is smartass and governor of cpu1 is ondemand. I guess that does not work either.

Come on we need further testing, need to know the KERNEL, ROM, and what app you are using to control the CPU. CF-Bench is a longer test that stresses both cores.
If you look a the thread with Faux this is an issue with the ROMs or the OC apps, not the CPU, which the CPU in the phone is one of the only ones with an ASYMMETRIC CPU, meaning that the cores do not sync or lock to one another.
I am using set cpu with the unity v7 kernel and it works fine I am over clocked to 1.7ghz at full, when battery gets low goes down to 700mhz, when screen off about 500 mhz
when using stock kernal I used a manual settings using setCPU.txt obv cant over clock it but could under volt it to save battery when screen was off... if anybody wants my set cpu profile (txt file) I still have it floating about
you know what here is the file
place the file on the root of your sd card and in set cpu select manful from the device list.
remember stock kernel = no overclock but happy under clocking

Ok you can't apparently pay attention to the point of this thread, all CPU apps, CPU Master, SetCPU, Virtuous Overclock all are able to overclock my CPU with the custom kernels, the problem is not me being able to overclock or not, its been tested by me many times with other kernels as well, and the OP that the Second Core is not sync and also not being modified by the governor as well. So all the CPU apps are only controlling the single core.
Does anybody tried CPU Master ? I think it's the OC utility that coredroid ROM suggest...

right now i have revolutionary hd 3.0.3 rom. with revolutionary hd stock kernal. and in the setcpu i couldn't get more then 568 mhz speeed.
can anyone please explain and point me at the right direction.

most likely you need setcpu to auto detect your overclock...its a setting, click menu and then device selection
1.8 ghz is very unstable and could damage your device
Dont use setcpu.
Its better to leave it "ondemand". Its much safer.

Firstly, if you're on the stock kernel you won't get 1.8GHz - max on stock is 1.2GHz, so you'll need a custom kernel to allow those speeds. For SetCPU, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All - go to SetCPU and clear data. Then go into SetCPU and select Auto Detect. It should then give you up to 1.2GHz.
You should not need Setcpu if you use Android HD Revolution Rom because the rom come with that overclock on it. Go look yourself. You will need root however.

Previously that was the case, but Revolution HD 3.0.3 has a script you can flash that applies OC to both cores. Revolution HD 3.0.4 no longer needs the script flashed on top and comes with a custom kernel out of the gate running at the processors true speed of 1.5ghz.

You probably won't be able to clock that high anyway... You'll must likely reboot higher on anything higher than 1786 mhz....

custom ROM + stock kernel = no OC
custom ROM + custom kernel = OC
basically you need to flash custom kernel, mike already posted in his thread for sensation custom kernel.
there is a kernel that support till 2Ghz, but i don't recommend though, your phone gonna be hot and the battery won't last long.
and on-demand governor is the best.
I got up to 1.7Ghz running stable using Android Revolution and an RCmix kernel i think it was. Battery drain was quite bad on that kernel though so switched to the stock Revolution HD kernel running at 1.56GHz, stable and good battery life
Kernels for the HTC Doubleshot. I'll update, and make it look more nice later. I put some time into this, so hopefully it's used. If there's any Kernels I'm missing, or info that's wroung let me know. Now I give you the First
::HTC Doubleshot Kernel List::
Basic Terms:
Undervolt (UV): An Undervolted Kernel is a Kernel that's supossed to bring in Battery savings. The higher the Undervolt, the better the battery savings. But this isn't with out drawbacks. Some CPU's can't handle higher Undervolts. So you'll have to figure out if your CPU can handle it. This can be done by starting at the highest UV, then see if it causes issues. If so, drop to the next UV (8%, 5%, 2%). If no issues (Like Reboots, Blackouts, etc.) Enjoy the UV.
Overclock (OC): This is simple, it's just making yours phones CPU go faster than it comes stock. Our device has a Qualcomm® 8260 dual core Snapdragon™, 1.5Ghz (But shipped at 1182Mhz). So an OC would be anything higher than a 1.2Ghz (Really 1.5Ghz). With an Adreno 220 GPU.
GPU: A graphics processing unit or GPU (also occasionally called visual processing unit or VPU) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory in such a way so as to accelerate the building of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display.
For the less geeky, it controlls anything based with graphics.
Icecream Sandwhich (ICS) : Android 4.0.X
Stock Speed 1.2Ghz UV 0%
OC 1.5Ghz/Slightly UV 2%
OC 1.5Ghz/Middle UV 5%
OC 1.5Ghz/Extremely UV 8%
These Kernels are made by tbalden. There to only be used with ICS Roms. There are both OC, and UV Kernels.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505394
[ROM][Feb 19 2012] Pyr'o'Ice ICS Desensed 1.1.0 - Android 4.0.3, AOSPish, 1.5GHz OC
The Kernels are the 3rd post down, and updated when need be.
Gingerbread (GB) : Android 2.3.X
Note: Anybody using any newer Radios, or HBoots. Any kernel that isn't Stock might cause issues. Most GB Kernels where made for the Stock Hboot, and Radio.
How to flash these: Reboot into Recovery. Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Mount System. Then Flash Kernel. Wait 10 Minutes (For best results) Then do a regular reboot.
Stock Kernel
This is the Kernel that comes on the Stock Rom. No OC, no added parts. Just how HTC sent it. Use this if you want a super stable Kernel. Or flash a bad Kernel, and can't boot.
Thanks to Undead for making this flashable Zip. (Enjoy your GSII Undead)
http://www.4shared.com/file/ect_yUtz/Stock_Kernel_Undeadk9.html
Romanbb's Kanged Kernel v.0.1
OC to 1.512 GHz
[*]UV across the board
[*]Upgraded to .14 from .10
[*]compiled with Snapdragon optimizations
Theres two of these Kernels. They're both very unstable, and cause a lot of random reboots. They're for use for any Rom based of the Stock Rom.

Unity Kernel va1 for Doubleshot.
By the Unity Team
- 2.6.35.14
- 2WCR ( 2-Way Call Records)
- NOOP I/O Sheduler
- SLQB
- OC 1782Mhz (1.8Ghz)
Default Speed 1512Mhz (1.5Ghz)
-JHash3
-Flash disabled @ 10% Battery & 5 Degrees Temp.
-Lower Wi-Fi Voltage
-Wi-Fi PM_Fast in Standby
-Tweaked Governors
-VDD SySFS Interface
-Fixed Scaling Cor_Freq
-GPU OC up to 320Mhz
-X2 Kernel Compression
-Cifs/Tun/UTF8
This is the only Kernel made by a Dev Team.
Heres the Website http://www.virtuousrom.com/
This Kernel is "Stable" any clock speeds above 1080Mhz causes issues, reboots, etc. But IMO this is the best Kernel for any GB Rom. This can be used with MIUI, any Sense 3.0, and Stock Based Rom.
The Download Link for this Rom is Broken, so I'll upload it later tonight.
I'll Upload any Kernel, to any File share site on Request.

Correction - the maximum processor clock speed as recommended by the manufacturer is 1.5 - HTC nerfed it down to 1.2, so saying it's a 1.2 processor is not accurate.
The GPU is the Adreno 220.
I'll toss more tech specs in later.

Each kernel has a range of frequencies built in, check the specification before you flash to get the range you want. All of the CPU management apps can only work within the ranges defined in the kernel.
sent from HTC Pyramid using Tapatalk 2
Try the new Bricked kernel. You can easily set the maximum and minimum frequencies simply by renaming the ZIP file. Use Recovery to flash. Setting CPU frequencies was never that easy!
I would say try bricked (like aayush mentioned). As he said, you can change the clock speeds by renaming the zip file (up to 1,944 Ghz, but only if your phone can handle it, so I would suggest that you first use "System Tuner" to test how high you can go with oc).
try searching for a kernel that supports hiigher clock rate
for example when flashing arhd it asks you about the kernel you want and not sure wich one can go to 1.7ghz or more

most early kernels were made to run at the creators best stable overclock. i would use a newer kernel that might have more inherent flexibility such as the new beastmode v4 or ElementalX which might allow you to get a stable overclock at frequencies lower then max.

Negative on Beastmode v4. I'm still trying to figure out how to flash that kernel.
In the mean time, I've flashed ElementalX v1.14. So far, settings have stuck, and I'm using kernel tuner.
No frills CPU app works very well for me. Kernel tuner was unable to keep my settings where i wanted them.
