Have U not been reading the Dec thread. Don't overclock. Set CPU limits the 2nd CPU to 1 ghz and only overclocks one core

you do not need that text file. If the kernel supports overclocking, you're good.

I'm sorry if i was not clear. I meant i wanted to overclock my phone with SetCPU, but it requires a text file because it hasn't been added to the presets yet.

No point, dual-core overclocking has JUST come onto the development scene for the sensation, and it has lol-bugs and is definitely inconsistent for everyone. Until all that can get hammered out, there is no point to overclocking, unless you are one of those nightly guys (I am )
The first thing is that only 1 core gets overclocked, beyond that, only 1 core is active for the majority of the time on the Sensation.
Benchmarks aren't even accurate because benchmarks like Quadrant don't even activate the second core.
However, if you want dual-core active all the time, I recommend flashing ARHD 3.0.3 with the dual-core script. It does work.
Faux Kernel 0.0.8 has come out which offers dual-core overclocking, but it does come with it's own handful of problems. Many are reporting boot-loop issues (IMO it's due to the kernel being somewhat unstable as well as setting too high of an overclock for initial settings) You need to flash the kernel as well as the dual-core script and then manually edit the script in system/etc/dual-core/main_script to set your clock speeds.
I'm going to also repeat what the other said.
SETCPU AUTOMATICALLY DISABLES ONE CORE AND DOES NOT OVERCLOCK IT NONE of the overclocking apps are dual-core ready. Heck, Android OS isn't even ready for dual-core. There have been lots of workarounds to get dual-core supported on these devices from the "factory" itself.

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

what a terrible thing!
Hi all,
I've been having random reboots/freeze-ups ever since I rooted.
This happens regardless of whether I am OC'ed or at 1ghz. These reboots tend to happen when watching Youtube or when browsing.
Would just like to have a feel of the ground if any of you who are rooted experiencing this?
Maybe we can start off by stating the following:
Kernel:
Clock Speed:
OC app: Setcpu or Droid OC
Governor setting: Interactive, on-demand etc..
Last app you were in that caused reboot:
For me, I am on the following:
Kernel: Tiamat 1.41
Clock Speed: 1ghz or 1.2 ghz
OC app: Setcpu
Governor setting: Interactive
Last app you were in that caused reboot: Youtube, browser
Im not sure if this thread shld belong here but since this is Dev where most of us root and OC, I thought I'd ask it here and hopefully we spot some trends with regard to the reboots.
Pls dun flame me Thanks!
wrong section
Moved to Q&A.
I have the same issue - Canada WIFI version
same problem, Canadian WiFi Version.
Not sure if it's because I flashed 1.4.0 then flash 1.4.1 to get the external sd card to show up. But I noticed after I got the external sd card to work, my usbOTG started working too, but from what I've read that should have been removed in 1.4.1 for stability issues.
Same issue. Using the tiamat kernel. It happens with different apps so its not any one for me.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Switch to Droid oc and delete setcpu. Worked for me. Interactive. On demand is junk on Xoom. I use on demand on DroidX.
The kernel will Max to 1504 causing reboot (on some Xooms). Some device can't handle 1504, mine included. Superuser will throw up an occasional user permission for Droid oc as it brings the MHz back down to user setting.
I was experiencing random reboots with the same kernel, mostly just browsing in Dolphin HD. I first stopped OC in setcpu but the reboots still occurred. Then I uninstalled/reinstalled Flash 10.2 and cleared Dolphin's data.
So far, it seems to be much more stable and even battery usage has toned down.
This shouldn't have been moved to Q&A. There is enough discussion at this point on this exact topic that it needs to be addressed. There is a serious problem with the over clock in the tiamat kernel and/or the software that is supposed to govern the overclock. The developers here work very hard for all of us to get the most out of our devices and I fully support them in their work, but we are putting ourselves at risk. It is my understanding that SETCPU and Droid Overclock are only able to govern One of the Dual Core processors while the other is overclocked all the time. There is a widget in the Marketplace (Temp+CPU V2) that will enable you to monitor your clock speeds.... See for yourself.

This is right where it should be... Development forum is for developing...Discussing does not go there unless its in a thread where something was developed...The tiamat crew knows all about it...they did not make the overclocking, they used someone elses, and are about to remove out. And yes you are correct on the 2nd core.

Remove it? So no more overclocking? Can't a ROM allow OC and voltage control? But I guess it always comes back to the lack of source code.

Kernel source is available. It's the rest of Honeycomb that isn't.
So what is the best resolution to the problem? I get at least 5-6 reboots a day...I dl'ed Droid OC and deleted setcpu.
I had a harder time getting it to reboot with Droid OC so I think that's your best solution for now.

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.
Peace

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.

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.
Hi guys,
I am currently using Android Revolution HD 4.1.13 with the latest kernel from faux123 (029). It seems like my Sensation does not perform very well under undervolting condition and as I read the instruction from faux123, I should restore my phone to stock HTC voltage. The problem is that I don't really know what the stock voltage is. Anyone can tell me where I can find the stock configuration for the Sensation's stock voltage? Any help is deeply appreciated.
Which app are you using for undervolting, set cpu?
I mean, you should know how to stop undervolting since you suppose to be the person who modified the settings through a CPU app, isn't it?

I am using system tuner. I am using Android Revolution HD as well as faux123 kernel 029, and the undervolting comes together with this ROM and kernel. Thus, I am not the one undervolting my CPU, so I have no idea how the configuration for the stock voltage looks like.

If you want to change the cpu configuration manually, either clock or voltage, you will need SET CPU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
HOW to modify the setting its a little bit complicated to explain if you are new to it.
You should check which is the stock voltage value in the sensation thread, and simply set it to it.
Or you can flash a different kernel that runs a stock voltage.
By the way isn't it a bit old your version of Android Revolution HD (4.1.13)?:

I thought ARHD has OC Daemon included inside, so I won't need set CPU at all? I am actually quite new to this, so I am still reading up on it. Thanks for helping me. Btw, I haven't managed to find the stock voltage page yet.
ARHD is now moving to ICS, but the performance is not quite on par with Gingerbread, so I am staying with 4.1.13 instead of 6.5.0. On ARHD ICS, 1080p videos are quite laggy on my Sensation (youtube 1080p), while everything is butter smooth on Gingerbread. That's the main reason why I am staying with Gingerbread.
Since I don't have enough posts to post in Developer section, I cannot notify people of this problem with ARHD ICS. If you can help me make that post in ARHD thread, that would be awesome. Otherwise, I will just wait until I have enough posts to comment on developer threads.
If with OC daemon you can't modify the voltage, try with SETCPU, at least that was the recommendation of the developer in the Android REVOLUTION HD thread.
SET CPU has a very simple and clean interface, it should be easy for you to use.
Otherwise as I suggested you before, just try to flash another kernel.
In the worst case you can always flash another rom...
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.

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?
