Can't get setcpu to work. Help - HTC Sensation

Right after I wipe my phone and and but it all back up I try to use setcpu to turn it up and it doesn't have the autodetect like it normally does. When I flash a kernel then it has the correct multiple choices. Can anyone tell me why I cant get setcpu to start up right unless I load a different kernel. Irritating. Thanks for you're help in advance

I don't think you can overclock the stock kernal. If you have the stock HTC kernal installed then SetCPU won't autodetect or OC even if you use custom variables from the SD card. In order for it to work properly you have to use a custom kernal.

It's spelled kernEl
But yeah, like he said. You need a custom kernel for Setcpu to work. And even if you do, it only overclocks one core because we don't have true dual core support yet

Thank you for setting me straight on that. I was starting to lean that way but I still wasn't sure. I'm still reading all that I can find to understand what kernels are made to run on what roms.

What Am I Doing Wrong? (Overclocking Question)

Well, on my Inspire I have flashed a custom rom that gives me up to a 1400 score on my Quadcore tests, yet I see other people hitting 2000-2500, what am I doing wrong? I'm using Core Droid v5.0 with a flashed radio that speeds up my download and upload speeds. Do you guys have any advice on how to speed up my Android?
And by the way, yes I do have set CPU and I have the settings on Max (1024000) and on Minimum (245761) I also have set on boot ticked along with profiles to save battery life. Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
RootTheNoob
Are you running a kernael that can be overclocked?
How can I tell of it can be overlooked, and I'm pretty sure I am its the default core Droid Rom, or do I have to install the kernel separately as well?

The default CoreDroid kernel isn't overclocked. Also if you have an overlooked kernel, setcpu would let you push past 1ghz.

I think you can use the leedroid kernel with coredroid can't you? If so, I'm using that one. It will overclock to 1.8. I only run at 1.2 though.
see post 957:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12123867&highlight=leedroid#post12123867
So what do I set it to to overclock it?
First you have to floash the kernel. The you use the slider in set cpu to overclock.
How do I flash it?
Sounds like you have some reading to do. Download the kernel to the root of your SD card. Then from ROM manager use CWM to flash rom from SD Card. DO A BACK UP FIRST THOUGH. Read the first few leedroid posts and that will help
No, I know how to flash things but what kernel do I use?
What kernel do I use with Core Droid?
http://leedroid.ftp.rshost.eu/DHD-Kernels/
it is the 2.2.9. Check his post here and it will tell you what you are getting

Try the Inversely ROM...sure its stock based but the kernel can be oc'd to 1.8.... at 1.5 I got over 2600 and at 1.8 I got a 3309 and could do better sub some tweaking...right now though kernel is not a separate flash package.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Um..should be Ingersoll ROM.
Autocorrect fail....
What also helps is be fully charged...do your quad right after fresh boot and stop/shutdown all background processes you can..that's when you get best score.

Edit: hey he just posted his kernel ad a separate package...will make things interesting.
Guys, none of those kernels worked , I had to restore my Android to a previous backup.
Anything I can do?

Coredroid 5 is based off the the leaked GB rom no custom OC kernels are available. 1500 is about what I get with that rom also. If you want higher quadrant scores you need a froyo 2.2 based rom and kernel.

You'll prolly have to download a Rom with an oc kernel and wipe everything before you install it.
May not be what you want to do...but might be the only way to get what speeds you're wanting.
Otherwise...you'll have to wait till there's an oc kernel for the Rom your using.
yelp there isnt Oc of the core with gingerbread.. they do a 2.2 with oc. i havent done those yet cause i do like this gingerbread.. Im just going to keep with this V5.0 MIUI guys have the OC kernal for their gingerbread but they have more steps than i wanna deal with.

[Q] OC Daemon, help with stock ROM?

Hey guys, I have been reading alot of good things about the OC Daemon and want to give it a try, but I dont want to flash a new ROM. I believe someone said that it could run on the stock ROM, is this correct?
Could someone guide me through getting this up and running on the stock ROM? (TMOUS, 2.3.3)
I am S-OFF and perm rooted, but am holding out for CM7. I was using setCPU, but had issues with it. It would cause my phone to freeze several times a day, as well as request SU permission a thousand times a day. It would over/underclock fine, but even at 1.5Ghz, it was unstable despite a higher than usual voltage ( I tried many values and gave up).
I followed the guide that was written for the EVO3D and setCPU, but dont know how to do this with the OC Daemon.
I assume I just put some file on my SD card and use root explorer to open it? Then, load some kind of custom kernal to get it to overclock? Im a noob when it comes to this sort of thing, but can follow directions well.
Would it even be worth it without a custom ROM that integrates it? I dont want another setCPU ordeal.
Thanks!
Matt
The kernel needs to support it. Stock kernel does not support it.

Is there a way to use it in the way that setCPU was used? I believe the process for setCPU involved us loading some kind of custom kernal. Could this be done as well, or is this the likely reason that setCPU was having issues?
EDIT: here is what I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15446921

Just download a rom that supports daemon OC like Virtuous Sensation.
Cheers.
I know this was well covered and is an old thread but I do have another question about this. If CID is for the country code, do I still need it for my unlocked Sensation Z710e has never been connected to a carrier? I have flashed a couple of ROMs with no issue already but if the ROM says that you must superCID, is this something that I still need to do on my phone? Oh, this came with what looked like an Asian ROM but the US ROMs installed and I use it on tmousa.
Thx.

[Q] can someone help me overclock?

ok guys i dont know weather its me or not
but i had flashed some kernals the are 1.5ghz but my quadrant score wont go up than 3010 highest i got.
some people on youtube shows them more than 5000 so i was wonder what was i doing wrong
at the moment im running CM7 lates build 158
and i notice some kernals wont work with lates buil
what kernals can i flash to overclock my phone as fastest?
and how.
thanks in advance
Try the cm oc/uv 0.4.2 kernel by faux, install setcpu (free to members here, don't have link at the moment). Inside setcpu is where you adjust the kernel speeds. From what I've noticed, a custom kernel will be clocked around the normal kernel speed (stability reasons maybe) so even with custom kernels your not running as fast as you can.

i done the setcpu all the way to 1000 but it didnt seems to helped. i didnt go into profiles cause i dont know what im doing in there.
What kernel are you using? You have to use a custom kernel to overclock. Setcpu will detect the settings created by the person that made the kernel and allow higher settings. With the kernel I suggested you can go up to 1.55ghz

[Q] I need help with rooting my phone

I have rooted my phone with a stock 2.3.3 gingerbread and by going threw teh clock work mod. I would like to a rom and kernel that I can reroot with that will give me stable OC speed. Also what does it mean to UV and how do I know how much I should UV when I OC my phone. Thanks for anyone who can help.

Use NVFlash to get CWM. Once you have that you can flash new ROM's, just don't forget to wipe and format /system first.
UV is under-volting your processor via a kernel. You can do that with Faux's kernel. Although for now, I suggest you stick with stock kernels and read up on what other kernels do before applying them.

What's the best overclock tool to use with the Skyrocket?

I came from the Hercules and I'm currently running Dewizzled 2.5 with Da_G's .42 kernel. If I use system tuner, it has no affect on the cpu... CPU tuner made my phone go into bootloop, and SetCPU makes it restart as soon as I go past 1.62ghz. With my hercules I had no problem running it at 1.89ghz
Hrm thats bizarre on cpu tuner and setcpu... have you tried the .42 with another rom? Also, if your able to use Da_g .42 without any SoD's (sleep of death) then you should really use Da_g .43 as it fixes an init script problem, which is likely why you werent seeing changes with system tuner. Seems alot of people have SoD's with various stock roms on Da_g's post .3 versions... so if you flash another rom and then start having them either flash .3 or change back to your working rom.
.43 Can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20090801&postcount=462
System tuner and setcpu also seem to force the second core online all the time, so its been highly recommended that you use a script to set the o'clock and such. Instructions are here, or if your not too saavy can use twopumpchump's pre-made version which is CWM flashable. (here)
It seems every cpu app I've tried revert the kernel back to it's stock settings. Faux's kernel is 384-1720 (I think) by default. I wish it was 192 as default. Every time I open up system tuner pro, setcpu, fauxclock, rom toolbox pro.....they don't stick. If anyone has a way of making it stick I know I'd appreciate it. Even if I choose set on boot it doesn't.

Thanks I'll flash that and see if it works I have a feeling that it's the mixture of Dewizzled and Da_G lol and I love TDJ's Darkside kernel but right now it's only available for the Hercules so it'll cause the screen orientation issue. Hopefully he'll make a port for the Skyrocket
I had the same problem but on coke rom with faux.. So I flashed the giedion script.. And now it seem to hold and go now deep sleep, and check it out in the faux kernel section in the development section.

I flashed faux's kernel and used system tuner but it still wouldn't stick until I rebooted... I have minimum set to 192mhz and screen off at 192 as well but in CPU Spy I only see 1728, 540 and Deep Sleep
How many overclock apps do you have on you phone at one time? And yes after you've made CPU adjustments click set on boot and reboot

1 at I time. I uninstall if it doesn't work before installing the next. i've had my phone with screen off for a while now and it seems that 75% it's staying at 540mhz, barely at deep sleep and rest at 1728mhz
I actually underclock my processor. To about 1ghz . As for your deep sleep issue I can't actually say cause I've never had the issue but look around the skyrocket threads. There's a lot of info on it.

i like nofrills
I use android overclock works fine on Da_G's kernel
Use faux clock for a faux version kernel. With any other kernel I have had great results with set CPU.
