Let's OC

It's time to Overclock our Phone...
DISCLAIMER: OVERCLOCK IS DANGEROUS FOR OUR PHONES
How to:
1. Now download r151 from Here
2. Put the files of r151 in the root of SD, run HARET.
3. Download SetCPU from Here and install It.
4. Now open SetCPU, And choice "Autodetect Speeds Reccomanded".
5. Allow Root.
6. Press Windows button and choice "Perflock Disabler" and "Attemp to Disable Perflock" and Check "Set on Boot".
7. Now, close the windows and OC our Phone.
My phone under USB and AC run at 825 MHz without Crash, i had tryed to run it at 864 MHz but System Crash everytime. Without USB and AC my phone run at 787 MHz. I Post 2 Images 1. = Normal Clock 2. = 825 MHz Clock.
To Made Benchmark i Use BenchmarkPi.
1. Screen Normal Clock
2. Screen 825MHz
For Other Question:
1. SetCPU
2. -r0bin-'s Post

I did it, it works perferctly !
Upscaled to 825 and min 128
Downscaled to 245 while charging and screen off
Thanks !

Tell me please, does it helps to save the battery in last releace (r163)? I`m asking becouse i try to use Master CPU, and it seems to me that it don`t helps to save energy... But I don`t use profiles, only ondemand settings from 120-600 mHz.
Thanks!

@HTCxxxx
what is the percentage priority by profile?

In Call is 100
And Screen Off 100 too.

19 Mhz does not work for me. Phone gets unusable slow and dont come back :/
Beside that, underclocking do not have a big influence on the battery consumtion.
Undervolting would be more interesting.

Why Unusable??? Yhea, Undervolting can be an Interesting Thing, but i Think if the Volting is too low phone Freeze, and if is too high cpu can have an High temperature if you're stressing cpu and phone can freeze too. But i've noted, when i use a low "screen off" profile battery consumaption is high? why? is a problem of kernel? or is nomal?

you don't need to undervolt it too low,you just need to find the right voltage
try last kernel from r0bin and you will not have high battery consumption anymore

Low Mhz does not lead automaticly to low consumtion.
If you phone has something todo (update something for example) it will get the job done faster with high Mhz and is going fastert to sleep after that.
With low Mhz it takes longer and so can have higher consumtion.
On my HD2 I dont use profiles (like screen off) and it has a very low consumtion on standby/sleep.

If you set a minimum speed when screen is off a11 is not able to go to suspend, maybe

just a quick feedback on power consumption:
it never been so good with r167+drain fix without SetCPU
when I set profiles with low frequency (19 or 128Mhz) it keeps on consuming battery up to 100mA. when i switch SetCPU profiles off, i go to 9mA in suspend mode.
true story
there must be a way to setup SetCPU in a way it doesnt affect too much battery drain in suspend mode, but for the time being i just deactivated it.

(I THINK)
Hi All,
I've understood why CPU doesn't run @ 19MHz or @ 128 MHz...
Go to /sys/acpucloclock and look acpuclk_tbl...In It there are write all frequencies CPU can Run:
245760,400000,480000,600000,768000,787200,806400,825600,844800,864000....
but no Under 245 MHz so if You use a Profile for Screen off From 19MHz to 254MHz, cpu Run everytime @ 245MHz...so there is an high consummation of energy
bye

hi
as codiak said earlier lowering CPU(underclocking) doesn't have so much impact on battery life..he also explained you why..if you want i will explain you too
explanation:run CPU at low voltage,open an app or downloading an email,etc= CPU will take time to get to the level app needs,display will stay longer while it CPU will get done the job= worse battery life
Undervolting will have impact on battery life
explanation:run same CPU clock at lower Voltage= CPU will use less power=better battery life
hope it's clear enough for you now,and if anyone else thinks i'm wrong feel free to prove me i'm wrong
P.S. Anyway i asked devs and they will lower CPU to run @ less than 245 Mhz.
Enjoy

[Q] Overlocking Values in SetCPU?

I have at max: 1200 MHz ,at min 83 and in typeerformance, are these values corecct or wrong for a custom rom?
-Greeting-
PD:Andro's Rom (3 days for release)

Yes, or no, because you need a screen off profile or your battery life will be damn short.

I think this should be in the general section and i recommend using the conservative governor over the performance since conservative goes to the minimum frequency when phone is not being used i.e. when screen is off. This is best for performance since it automatically goes to the maximum frequency when screen is on and when screen is off it goes to the minimum which is good for battery.

1200 is too high....
It will damage your battery....
I use 100 MHz to 800 MHz....
Its average and most of the users use the same....

I think that is a very wise thing to do. I shall see how my phone runs at that speed.

Oks.thx.
Now:
MAX:800
MIN:83
Type: Conservative.
Are these values correctly now?

That frecuency will eat your battery.
I use my SetCPU at frecuencies 400-800Mhz, and use profiles for screen off (83-400Mhz), battery <20% (200-600Mhz), time (2am-6am) (83-83Mhz powersave)
always on demand (except time profile)
Greetings

My config is
Main 400-800 Mhz Ondemand Set on boot
Profiles
Temp >45°C 200-500 Mhz priority 100 Ondemand
time 2am-6am 83-83 Mhz priority 95 powesave
screen off 83-500 Mhz priority 90 Ondemand
Battery <20% 200-600 Mhz priority 80 Ondemand
I have g3mod 2.0 OC kernel
Greetings

I just use basic settings, no profiles or anything. Look in my signature.
I may add a few profiles after my lil bro is finished playing games on my phone.

My battery temp is 39 degrees Celsius is it that a good tempeture?

anything between 83 and 800 would work like charm and enough for day to day tasks..use conservative governor..set profile for screen off and on call..

[Q] Set cpu settings tips.

I am using:
Rom: Insertcoin
Kernel: Bricked 1.5
Could you give me some tips to setup the best way setcpu.
I've seen some guys mentioning setting lowest frequency to around 400 and etc. and I don't know why. Could you give me some advice on setting up the program correctly.

Hi, I personally set the lowest frequency to somewhere around the 500mhz and smaller and set the govenor to ondemand as this will only use the the speed of your kernel when its needed thus, will use less battery.

Why around 500mhz and not 194. And will 5 sec refresh on the widget drain much battery? It's now on passive because I don't want to loose battery on bull****.

I put at 500mhz because sometimes the phone may slow down on its own and I don't think that setting the refresh rate to 5sec will steal much battery because its only a small widget

Any more opinions? Would be nice

Don't set it to 500 minimum. This will lock the phone to at least 500 mhz at all times and will cause substantial battery drain.
Go with 192 minimum or the next step up.

+1 on that.
My personal settings (most of the time) are:
Screen On 192/648
Screen Off 192/384
Governer OnDemand
Sometimes I up the frequency if I need to run something heavy, not all that often though.

agreed 192 minimum is much better. if you are having issues with the phone being slow then get rid of sense...

Just wanted to say thanks to the three users above this post as I tried 192mhz and it is in fact a lot better now (please realise I've only just turned 17 and play a lot of games hence 500mhz)

[Q] Is the phone broke down faster with OC?

Hello. I have got Galaxy3 with Kyrillos ROM v9.4 non-OC. Yesterday I installed G3MOD v2.3 OC kernel. I set CPU (in setCPU) frequency for 1200MHz and CPU has got 35 Celsius Degree in game (eg Burn the Rope, Angry Birds) and about 29 Celsius Degree in Opera Mini.
Is it harmful for CPU or phone?
Will my phone broke down faster than phone with CPU freq at 667MHz?
What is safe temperature for CPU in Galaxy3?
Thank for any help.
mosak

Yes it will. But don't worry by that time you would have changed your phone. These chips are made to last at least five yrs. Bottom line: don't worry abt of, I use it all the time
Cheers
Sent from my i9003 powered by Poseidon's Rom/Dxkp9 Junior + UC kernel

you should keep the temperature below 30 degrees
I use oc at 800hz and it's really fast, but if you need more don't abuse on time with high frequencies

Same for me, I use on a daily basis OC from 83 to 800 in lagfree
and i don't feel a big difference when i OC to 1000, but I don't play games a lot, and the games I play generaly don't need a big cpu...
you can find some tips to set your cpu

So you would recommend using oc ROM? I am I
Using non-OC kyrillos 9.4 and It seems pretty fast to me. How much would I Get with settings to 1000 mhz?
And what about battery consumption on 1000 mhz?
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

i haven't noticed significant change to battery life between non-oc and oc. although i generally keep my governor as conservative although on kyrillos ROM is set to on demand as standard and before i changed didn't see change in battery performance.

well i ve been using OC kernel for a long time...and it has not affected my phone in any bad way...it improves the performance....maybe u need to set sum profiles in setcpu....but all i can say that it doesnt affect the phone that much in my opinion but may eat up the battery....so better set the setcpu profiles

OC: Lagsfree, but shortens cpu's life...
Non-OC: Laggy, but save battery...

[Q] SETCPU?

i aleary set cpu to max 1.8ghz and min 1.6ghz how to st it?? i did try to set it too 1.8mina nd max but my phone hangs and powerd-off!!! how to set it?!

Hey. I wouldnt recommend your current srtup at all unless you want horrible battery life and massive amounts of heat however i sont have an answer for your predicament, try using another app with the same function?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

listen to me. set it like I say:
max frequency 1512
min frequency 384
governor interactive
go to profiles and create a new profile. set:
screen off
max 432
min 192
governor conservative
priority 100
this way you have a good performing phone and with screen off a power saving profile. with this configuration I have 15 hours battery (enough for a day) of mid use...with data activated and live wallpaper

Nice stats ! I'm going to try that!
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium

Some phones can handle higher frequency then others if your phone can't go over 1.8 well there is nothing you can do..
Swyped From My Sensation.

I SET IT TO this But anyway i don't care battery life

Dont OC much
dude that's friggin gih frequency's. Dont push it too hard, it'll do no good to the processor. Besides, what do you need that kind of power for ? Runing Crysis ?
