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?

so i just bought this phone from a friend, he had it rooted when i bought it, seems every kernel i try the max is always at 1000 instead of higher options and my governor scaling does not let me choose any options as well,tried 2 different kernels and same for both any ideas how to fix, would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried pimpmycpu? For some reason set CPU doesn't work
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Buy and use pimp my cpu.
Set cpu doesn't seem to work with this phone for now for what ever reason.
Sent from my G2x running Bionix 2 with the power of Trinity.
There is a free version of pimp my cpu somewhere I here.
The developer of that app post it somewhere else I this forums. Is ok to download it from this forums for free.

I tryed it once and didn't seem to work it didn't have any goveners to choose from either.or maybe I just ain't used to it ill try again thanks for the reply.I thought maybe he messed something up in the root process
Probably the dual core is messing with setcpu and it needs an update for it to work properly. I could be wrong but that's my guess. Are u using a custom rom that allows for oc? Cm7 has a setting for it so no need for an app to control it

governor
I tryed pimp my CPU.seams to overclock but governor has no choices is it just me or is everyone's like that?
tegra2 controls the governers so they dont give you the option to change as of yet, that is untill one of our genious devs figures a way around that as well.
I see thanks for letting me know that. thought something was wrong on my end
First question:
I'm using no-frills CPU to Overclock. I have HTC inspire 4g running coredroid 6.6 what would be a good starting point for my
Min. Clock freq? And my max clock freq? And also what do the freq's do? Help please trying to get the most out.
Also if someone would explain what the governers are....
Smartass

Ondemand

Help please
Second question:
How do I properly flash a kernel. Currently using coredroid 6.6 and wanting to flash the new leedroid kerbel. What is the propper way to do so?

If you download the kernel listed in my sig, then you can flash it via Clockwork Recovery. As far as the governers, I'm not too familiar with them myself, but here is a little info about some of them. I believe Smartass is a little newer or made for specific kernels, so there doesn't seem to be much info on that one.
Pretty much trial and error and see what one works best for you. With LeeDroid's latest kernel, SetCPU lets you go as high as 1800Mhz or so, and I had it set to that as max, with 500Mhz (or whatever setting was closest to it), but just lowered my OC a bit to a little over 1000Mhz to try and get some more battery life out of it.
Okay thank you very much. Nobody got back to me last night. I had leedroid new kernel an i flashed it, and I noticed a HUGE difference in how fast it was.
When downloading new ROMS like some say data+++, aosp, an so on.... What does all that mean? I'm very new to all this but slowly catching on.
Also I don't have set CPU, you have to buy it... I have no frills CPU

Even though I've been rooting since my Captivate in August of last year, I'm still a newbie as well. All I can suggest is: Read, Read, and Read some more. That is how I learned a lot, asking questions only when I had exhausted my search- fu.
A lot of the times the answer you need has been answered by someone in some thread.
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.

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+

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.

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

I have Dragon kernel v1.5.1 and have tried various other kernels such as Trinity and none are giving me the overclock governor, like powersave and on demand. I find these functions very useful and would like them back on my phone. Any help is appreciated!

Tegra doesn't have traditional CPU governors like other chipsets have. That is why they are not available to use, they don't exist for this chipset.
But I've had them before on this same phone on previous installs of Cyanogen...unless I'm crazy. That may be the case here..
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Depending on the kernel, there may be an option present in setcpu. It wont let you change it though. Those governors are just not available on the Tegra2 (as I've read anyway). Sorry for the bad news.

i haven't seen any rom/kernel with tegra2 has a custom governor, because tegra2 dont use it at all, the chipset adjusts the frequency itself
