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 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.

[Q] How do you overclock the Sidekick 4g?

Hey How do you get more then 1ghz? My dad uses another android phone and he overclocked his to 1.8ghz and he said his method doesn't work the same. I saw somthing on kernels or somthing. Can someone point me to the right path and i need a very detailed thread... thanks. Also I am not talking about setcpu that is not overclocking that is only used for underclocking and custom speed use during specified uses. I need one that actually runs it faster

there is presently no way to overclock the SK4G.... sduvick has been working on adding overclocking to the Bali kernel tho. he might even still have one posted from a previous attempt, but I don't think it is stable.
just for kicks I tried the Tegrak Overclock app from the market, as it is made for Samsung Galaxy S devices so I thought it was worth a try.... but it said this device is not supported.

actually, i sent an email to the dev of that app. they sent me an email back early yesterday morning, i gave them some info on our phone and how similar they are to the galaxy s phones they're supporting. so a this morning i checked my email and they sent a test app and it worked perfectly. the app will allow you to overclock to 1.3GHz but only 1.2GHz is stable. They told me they will update the app in the market very soon so keep an eye out, i was gunna post a thread explaining in the general when ready. i've been running @ 1.2Ghz all day it doesnt kill battery too much either. so you guys should be able to overclock pretty soon i already saw our device name on the market for their next update, i was able to reach 2068 on quadrant with my TouchMIUIwiz ROM @ 1.152GHz, i posted pics in this post
Sduvick is also working on a Custom kernel with OC

Sorry about being a bit late to the party guys, had an xbox night with my roommates last night, I'm back to work on the kernel again today, should be able to get another working test going sometime today. Pretty sure that just adding the UV stuff will make it stable, but we'll see when it's ready.

The Tegrak update for the Sidekick is out, available in the market! Running at 1.152 Ghz now, and I see that the app allows you to raise or lower voltages as well..... VERY cool app!
Edit: setting voltages is available only with the paid version.

Running 1.2 now so nice 1400+ quadrant score with lightning rom v2 running multitask settings on v6. too bad you have to set it every time the phone boots unless you pay. 1.252 has some instability and 1.3 crashed the phone as soon as it was set :-( but still this is awesome

you can hit 1900's and 2000's with touchmiuiwiz! but yeah 1.3 doesnt play well.

I was having problems with touchmiuiwiz that I need to figure out at a later time but from what teddy has been saying he gets over 2000 ^ up there

Over 1.2GHz = Lock

Hello everyone. I have had my Nexus S 4G for about 2 weeks now, and I have tried everything I can think of. However, I cannot overclock my phone higher than 1.2GHz. If I set it to 1.44GHz (or even 1.3GHz in most kernels), within the first five minutes, it locks up, requiring a battery pull. I have tried just about every kernel. Trinity, Netarchy, Matr1x, everything. However, I get the same result. I am assuming that it is just my phone. I know that when I had my Evo, it didn't want to OC past 1.1 GHz stably, but the refurb I got from Sprint ran at 1.21 GHz like a champ. I was just wondering if anyone had the same issue, and if so, if it was possible to alleviate this problem. I would love to run my Nexus at 1.44 GHz, because some of the Quadrant scores look amazing.
Thanks again for reading,
StompySan

Try v9.0 of matrix and set it to 1.3

After running Quadrant twice with it set at 1.3, I got a lockup. 100% not responsive. Had to pull battery.
EDIT: I tried benchmarking my phone with CF-Bench, thinking maybe it could have been a fluke with Quadrant, and had the exact same results. At 1.3 and 1.46GHz.

1.2??

Ok if neither of those work I need you to do 2 things.
1. Raise all voltages by 30
2. Set it to 1.2 ghz
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I can overclock without reboots to 1.2. Any higher than that is when the problem arises.

Ok now once you flash v9.0, go into setcpu and raise all voltages by 30
Now try 1.3

When you say all voltages, you mean even the ones that it already runs stably on?

No no, just the unstable ones
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

OK, so Quadrant ran fine for 5 tests, and CF-Bench ran OK as well. Should I push it up to 1.46 now?

Try it, and if you get a reboot, raise voltage for 1.46 by 10.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

No lockups yet! I have ran Quadrant 5 times, CF-Bench 2 times, and Linpack a couple times. Seems to be doing great! I am going to test it more thoroughly tomorrow (it's almost 1AM where I live, lol), but it seems great right now!
I have never increased the voltages on a phone CPU before. I have done it on my brother's computer when I overclocked his processor, but I generally try to avoid it. I am just really paranoid to mess with the amount of power going through the processor. That's why I turned to the professionals in this case. Thanks again for your extremely quick reply.

Cool! you just needed a bit of a voltage push, that's all
let's hope 1.46 ghz runs well

Mathkid Ive never been stable past 1.3 so I followed what you told him to do and what do you know! Perfectly stable so far at 1.44 on apocalypse kernel!! Might have to try your 9.0 at 1.46 soon!
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

So is there a limit to how far one should overvolt? I upped the voltage at 1440 mhz to 1550 mV. Did run rather stable except for "Lets golf HD!" which froze. I would really like to be able to run at 1440, but not sure what to do. Im using Apocalypse Talon 3.2.1.
Do you think your kernel would handle OCing better, mathkid?

Yeah you can try it out and if you need to raise voltages go ahead

FauxClock 0.8

Just wondering how folks are finding FauxClock 0.8.
I managed to find it and am trying it as I was on 0.72 and 0.75 didn't work well for me.
Any views ?

0.8 FC every time I start it, so I roll back.

Thanks, but now it keeps saying CPU1 is offline?

Keeps force closing, how do I fix it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App

Make sure you un-install old version first or wipe data if coming from an ealier version.
If it says CPU1 offline then it means that it's not needed and has shut down. I have opened it a couple of times and I have seen the second core is online and working but most of the time it is offline... better for battery life!
Working fine for me anyway with ARHD 3.6.7. Undervolted -50mv too.

Running stock ROM with faux123's kernel.
When CPU0 keeps staying at 1.5GHz, CPU1 still says it's offline.

I have the same, even when using the performance setting. Seems a bit odd, no matter what I use the phone for as soon as I open fauxclock one cpu is always offline. Did anyone have this on earlier versions?

I think that's just the aSMP architecture/Kernel. IRC the performance governor just fixes the speed at the maximum specified, it doesn't force both cores to be on.
I'll stick with 0.8.0, it does FC the first time after a re-boot but works fine after that. I like the screen off/on settings.
On another note I did find Faux123 0.2.3b9 best for my setup, lowest drain. I've not tried any other non Faux123 kernels yet.

same here...running 0.8 with intellidemand governor
i`ll test and see how performance is
second edit: why is fauxclock so underground.. isn't there an official thread?

I think it was all tied in to the Faux Thread. Since he's unfortunately stopped working on Sensation Kernels that thread has been closed.
Look in: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4550-app08-beta-snapdragon-dual-core-oc-control/
TBH, I don't even know if it's compatible with other kernels, don't see why not but never tried. I guess the GPU and UV setting might not work with non Faux kernels.

How to overclock

Hi guys i can someone tell me if can overclock?
Just tell what to do...I want to overclock it to play heavy games like mc4 and nova without much lag
I have the rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629307

-___- It's simple. Download any of apps like those for example; AnyCPU, No-Frills CPU Control and Voltage Control. But the problem is actually in GPU service; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191468 but you must have both root and CWM recovery (CWMR is to back up your firmware and user data).
EDIT: With this GPU tweak and GPU video tweaks in build.prop, Minecraft is pretty smooth.

thanks!!! i already did the gpu tweaks from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2191468
now i'm going to install the apps you said but if i change kernel won't i have better results?
but i don't know what kernel to use...
I hope i was clear i'm portuguese

Of course u need to flash a kernel that supports over clocking. And then use set cpu to tweak
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium

Can you recommend me one ?

For the starter, if you are on the CyanogenMod 10 Jelly Beans port and its derivatives, iodak kernel for one. At full throttle, it roars by at 1.3 GHz but you may try undervolt it a bit (due to CPU heats) - mine's at 1.25 V at 1.3 GHz so go for 1.275 V for better chance.

I'm on stock gingerbread...any advices?

Ah, I see. I will look - even though the development on Gingerbread ROM have slowed down a bit.
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23629242 - even though this kernel is discontinued, it's good. I used this one before I decided to ditch Gingerbread for Jelly Beans (due to better VSync service required by some games but I personally think you will do fine with Gingerbread though. And note this kernel's maximum CPU frequency support - 1.4 GHz.)
