Trinity kernel help - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hey I have a g2x running cyanogen mod 7.1.0 and I just put the trinity kernel on it. I had it underclocked to 500mhz per core. And when I went to open up my CPU monitor app it said that it was only running one Core. I turned up the CPU to 1.0GHz and it still stayed off until I pulled down the notification bar up and down (to increase CPU usage) and it went on. Then I turned off the screen and it was back to one core. So I was wondering does the trinity kernel disable the core1 (2ND core) and only run on core0 (first core) ? Or what does it do? Is there anyway to force it to run on 2 cores. And Is there anyway to force it to run on only one core?

Yes Trinity will run 1 core until above 750mhz to maximize battery efficiency. Great for screen off profiles
Pin it to Win it.

Second core turns on after 750mhz

Overclocking the G2X to 1.5Ghz

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.

4500 with faux rom 1.2.4 and 0.2.2 kernel.

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+

Oh 1 more thing, T-mobile doesn't release the GB update for LGE Star yet. The CM project is built based on the GB source code only...

Use pimp my cpu, setcpu doesn't let you overclock. It only shows your cpu speed but nothing else.

I got 4094 in quadrant OCed to 1.5Ghz on Ultimate, very impressive considering its a froyo rom nonetheless

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.

What's the recommended value for overclocking? Low score on quadrant

Hi.
I just overclocked 1 step above 1ghz with setCPU. I ran quadrant and i got about 1318 score. I've expected more from a dual core.
Did anyone OC'ed with good results? And what were your settings?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
1472 without any issues and -175 mV undervolting (on average) - I get 6500+ in antutu - on Revolver ROM.
Quadrant is a crap - my current Desire gets over 2000 lol.

-175mv avg? What does it mean? And what is your scaling?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Scaling profile interactive, with screen-off profile active (608 max, conservative).
UV means that most of the values have -175 mV, except highest (-75, -100) and lowest (-50, -25).
See for yourself what your TF can take.

I've only been stable at about 1.4 GHz the second slot for 1.4 GHz and 1.5 GHz are relatively stable with intermittent reboots under heavy load.
Yes, reboots were an issue for me at 1.5+ GHz under heavy load. 1424-1472 seems ok tough so far.
I turn in 1,592Ghz three days ago, no reboot, work nice ... Interactive mode...

it seems like nearly everyone can at least run 1.4. Beyond that is trial and error.
Does stock rom with root allow you to over clock? Using set CPU or rom toolbox. Meaning over clocking supported on stock kernel. Or do u need to flash a custom rom for this? I know my stock Atrix kernel, rooted, wouldn't allow it. Max was still at 1GHz for it's tegra 2 dual core. Itll allow me to under clock though

A different kernel is required for overclocking. I'm using the revolver ROM and the revolver parts app is very convenient for flashing different kernels (has a collection of most popular kernels for TF101), and other settings.

Cyanogenmod 7 + leedroid kernel overclock help

I have cyanogenmod 7 rom installed along with leedroid kernel and one of the two has an overclock kernel, i use setcpu to overclock up to 1.7ghz. i use cpu gauge to monitor the core clocks, but no matter what i have the cpu clocked at the cpu gauge always says core 2 is offline, i have used other CPU monitoring apps also and they always say the same thing. Why is the second core not working?
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
I think system tuner is the only one that's able to read second core performance. Could be wrong though. Also, isn't the LeeDROiD kernel for Sense ROMs? Why don't you put something like Bricked's AOSP kernel in there instead? Might help ya out.
Hey thanks alot, ill give it a try.I only used leedroid because it was the first one that has worked for getting rid of all the bloat. Ill try the bricked though

What is the recommended CPU settings for battery savings

Hi all! Can someone tell me the recomended cpu settings for saving battery? IM running bricked kernel with badass govenor right now.my ROM has ability to set cpu profiles and change govenors. I wondered what settings would be the best to save battery? Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

Set the max clock speed to 1ghz (1000mhz) then turn screen brightness to 50% and it'll last ages
What govenor are you using?
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
I would suggest using badass governor with emphasis on battery saving, set clock speed to 1ghz and turn brightness all the way down. You can also turn off auto sync and instead manual sync datat. Should save you tons of battery just manually syncing.
Personally, I use badass performance o/c to 1.6 ghz brightness all the way down with auto sync on. I'm on opensensation and I get about 3 hours screen on time.

Badass, I have a theory though, bare with me...
If clock speed is set to 1.7ghz then the processor should only need to use a single core to do 90% of tasks, so the second core will not need to turn on. The power used to run the first core an extra 500mhz is less then to turn on and power the second core.
I tested this over 2 weeks and I personally had great results, if you start gaming then put it down to 1.2ghz or bye bye battery life lol.
Give it a go

[Q] Overclocking SGX540

Anyone tried this? I've come across a video for the galaxy s ii overclocking the same gpu. After looking into, it seems that this gpu has been used in many different platforms at different clock speeds. i dont have the "know how" to overclock a gpu, but would it be as simple as changing the system values?

So far the only way to overclock the GPU is by overclocking the FSB, which will also overclock the CPU. Some kernels have it cooked in (Trinity for example), some offer a way to do it (Live OC enabled kernels) and some have an hybrid (Marmite has GPU overclock for 1.1GHz but not for 1.2GHz).
I'll check those out

Front side bus. The frequency of the CPU is determined by a multiplier X FSB.
CPU runs at 1000MHz. FSB is at 200MHz. GPU is on a 1:1 ratio with the FSB, thus runs at 200MHz
Every megahertz added to the FSB will make the CPU run 5MHz faster.
210MHz FSB x 5 = 1050MHz and 210MHz GPU
Marmite kernel has a 1096MHz step for CPU that comes with a GPU oc @ 220mhz

Does this apply to all SOCs or just the one n the nexus s?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium HD app
Marmite is only for the nexus s, and I believe every soc is its own unique methods and limits of oc
