Does SetCpu overclocking work on both cores?

I use the SetCPU on the HTC Sensation 4G, it looks like it only scaling the cpu0. I am overclocking it to 1.5GHz but when I query the cpu frequency I don't see it on cpu1.
can somebody run the fallowing lines on adb shell to see if the scaling works for you?
Code:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
cpu0 gives 1512000 for me but cpu1 gives 1188000
ps cpu1 goes idle and this file becomes unavaliable, I run linpack run multi-thread just before I query the cpu1.

How did you even get the Setcpu to recognize the sensation's 1.2ghz? How did you detect the device?!

Custom kernel but setcpu definitely isn't working right with them either. Still not 100% compatible with our asynchronous cpu.

I have a custom kernel that supports 1.8ghz. but setcpu only allows 998 to be the maximum when i click nexus one/snapdragon. I don't know what other options i have.

If you have a custom kernel that supports it (most do i think) setcpu should have an option to autodetect. You shouldn't have to select a device. If autodetect isn't available try uninstalling setcpu and reinstalling it. None of the device selections will work for us because our device/chipset isn't supported for manual selection (yet).

If You're using a custom kernel then delete set cpu and use an OC Daemon like the Virtuous Daemon with Unity Kernel or user Android Rev HD and Mike's OC Daemon with any compatible custom kernel -- which depends on if you're using a 2.3.3 or a 2.3.4 ROM.

How easy is it to employ the OC Daemon and a kernal for it? Is it something we can just DL to out SD card?

Yes Dude, just flash a custom rom. If you're on a 2.3.3 based rom there's plenty of custom kernels and if you're on a 2.3.4 based rom just flash The Unity V6 or V7 kernel which should come with the virtuous OVERCLOCK Daemon included as part of the flashable.zip that you can find in the Leedroid ROM's thread in development.

I just set OC to 1890Mhz
Cpu0 is at 1890
and when i ran linpack and got Cpu1 it was only at 1188.
Unity V5 on Senseless 1.3

I found this out before SOFF with the kernel module insmod. Even with the virtusous_oc demon, it still not working. I'm using 2.3.4 kernel with smartass, I wonder if that works on second core.

I just checked with insert coin 2.3.4 rom scaling governor of the cpu0 is smartass and governor of cpu1 is ondemand. I guess that does not work either.

haha, I bet this phone is a single core really with a bit HTC fakery... could be why the cpu benchmarks are so bad lol

hahaha, they also said its unibody when in fact its not...

Come on we need further testing, need to know the KERNEL, ROM, and what app you are using to control the CPU. CF-Bench is a longer test that stresses both cores.
If you look a the thread with Faux this is an issue with the ROMs or the OC apps, not the CPU, which the CPU in the phone is one of the only ones with an ASYMMETRIC CPU, meaning that the cores do not sync or lock to one another.

I am using set cpu with the unity v7 kernel and it works fine I am over clocked to 1.7ghz at full, when battery gets low goes down to 700mhz, when screen off about 500 mhz
when using stock kernal I used a manual settings using setCPU.txt obv cant over clock it but could under volt it to save battery when screen was off... if anybody wants my set cpu profile (txt file) I still have it floating about

you know what here is the file
place the file on the root of your sd card and in set cpu select manful from the device list.
remember stock kernel = no overclock but happy under clocking

Ok you can't apparently pay attention to the point of this thread, all CPU apps, CPU Master, SetCPU, Virtuous Overclock all are able to overclock my CPU with the custom kernels, the problem is not me being able to overclock or not, its been tested by me many times with other kernels as well, and the OP that the Second Core is not sync and also not being modified by the governor as well. So all the CPU apps are only controlling the single core.

Does anybody tried CPU Master ? I think it's the OC utility that coredroid ROM suggest...

Oc daemon arhd 1.4

Hi I have a question about the o/c daemon coz i made my phone like this
Wake state setting
Wake min- 38400
Wake max- 153600
Sleep setting
Sleep min - 19200
Sleep max - 38400
Is this okay??
After installing the arhd 1.4 do i need to touch the oc daemon??

I'm assuming you mean ARHD 4.1.6?
I'm not entirely sure I understand your question but those settings look ok.
In any case using OC daemon you can change the clock speed on the fly
Hope this helps

Thanks! What im saying to my 2nd question is After flashing the ARHD 1.4.6 the O/C daemon comes with the package right? So heres my point do i need to touch the oc daemon just to make it work? I mean like pressing the apply button? Or leave it as is??
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

Again: ARHD 4.1.6
Ah makes sense! when you open the app if the clock settings show the same values as those in your 1st post then no, you don't have to hit the Apply button again.
Although you can always change the clock speed to a new value and then change it back again

Thx.

Hi,
I have ARHD 4.1.6, with Faux's latest kernel.
Do you still have the kernel that was supplied with the ROM?
I think it was 0.2.3.r.
This will probably cause you problems with excessive battery drain.
When/if it does,download the 0.2.4.r kernel from my sig.
Place the kernel on the root of your sd card.
Go into recovery,
Make a nandroid backup,
wipe cache partition and dalvik,
install the kernel,like a ROM ,
reboot.
Then go into Daemon Controller.
Set the maximum and minimum frequency to your desired settings(192000 min,1512000 max is good)
set the governor to "intellidemand " in the drop down menu,
press bypass and apply.
Job done.
No need to ever worry about it again.

Hi,
The sleep state is taken care of by the Intellidemand governor.
That's the point.
Once you set it up as I said ,it will do all the work for you.

[q] overclock kernel????

hy guys..
i've oc my phone using no-frills and set max speed to 801mhz(using cm7 kernel)..governor : performance ;I/O : cfq...
it works while phone is on, then when i restart my phone it's back to default setting..
what about that?
it is usual for oc??
(sorry i am a newbie)

U must check apply on boot option in no frills cpu..well sometimes it might not work if ur phone hasn't shutdown properly n btw for precaution dont use max cpu for fit..in least cases it might damage ur hardware

so Dude, according to you what should i do? i've used a costum rom..so i think it is possible if i oc the cpu speed.. is that right?

Yup..if custom rom contains oc kernel then u can oc by using no frills cpu...most custm roms do have oc kernel BTW

Hmmmm.. i think using the max speed just wasting the battery..
I'm just using the oc for playing the hd games...
Just my opinion after all...

just suggestion, set min freq to minimum and set max freq to maximum freq

[Q] (Q)How to overclock.

Hello world. I'm running faux 004 but when I try to mess with my CPU limits with SetCpu etc. It only goes up to 1.51. What do I have to do to make higher speeds available?

try system tuner to overclock your processor...it works with faux 004 (also if you want performance change the governer to ondemand. its possible with system tuner too)

Each kernel has a range of frequencies built in, check the specification before you flash to get the range you want. All of the CPU management apps can only work within the ranges defined in the kernel.

Try the new Bricked kernel. You can easily set the maximum and minimum frequencies simply by renaming the ZIP file. Use Recovery to flash. Setting CPU frequencies was never that easy!

I would say try bricked (like aayush mentioned). As he said, you can change the clock speeds by renaming the zip file (up to 1,944 Ghz, but only if your phone can handle it, so I would suggest that you first use "System Tuner" to test how high you can go with oc).

try searching for a kernel that supports hiigher clock rate
for example when flashing arhd it asks you about the kernel you want and not sure wich one can go to 1.7ghz or more

I agree...with bricked kernel, you can set CPU min/max....

I tried Bricked at 1.83 and works like a charm. Tried at 1.99 but after a minute or so my phone rebooted so I'm back to the more stable 1.83 and the battery is amazing!

[Q] CPU Settings

I'm on Venom Ss and using the default kernel for the ROM, but after setting the maximum at 1.026mhz and minimum at 702mhz, the settings don't stick, changing to 384mhz maximum and minimum constantly. How do I make the settings stick? I have done a full wipe. Thanks in advance!

Sense 4 roms sometimes does that bug, it happened to me with ordroid after I installed it with a full wipe it became normal something makes your CPU rise and if you don't know what it is your only chance is full wipe

Try with system tuner maybe? There are various option how to set the frequencies (via script or normally)

So far the settings on system tuner aren't sticking either. How do I use scripts? Thanks a lot!

i am on viperss 1.0.0 too and i am using the Bricked kernel 1.35
with maxkhz to 1728000 . after i install the bricked kernel all run well
but 1 hour later is gone back to the default setting (1566mhz) .
then i installt system tuner and let him on 1400mhz , 1 your later the setting is again on default by 1566 ???
i dont understand this because by a earlier version all was well..
i hope you can help me
