Im running Mike's version of Ics 4.0 with sense 3.6.I used a market app to overclock my CPU processor from 1.2 Ghz to 1.566 GHz and its been killing my battery like crazy so I tried to down clock it but its wont so I uninstalled the app called no-frills and I thought for sure my procestor would go back to factiy @ [email protected] GHz bug it didn't its still struck at 1.566 GHz.so I flashed the Rom and reinstalled it and its still struck at 1.566 GHz.so I was wondering if I installed a faux kernel it that would help with.battery drainage.I have to completely charge my sensation twice aday.I would you really like some help.

Wrong area to post.
I suggest not overclocking it, give it a few charge cycles and it should be fine
its a wrong thread mate
post in a q&a section or general section as u will get ur answer there
but i suggest u to try changing the kernel or underclocking your device
Don't forget to press thanks

Well, on my Inspire I have flashed a custom rom that gives me up to a 1400 score on my Quadcore tests, yet I see other people hitting 2000-2500, what am I doing wrong? I'm using Core Droid v5.0 with a flashed radio that speeds up my download and upload speeds. Do you guys have any advice on how to speed up my Android?
And by the way, yes I do have set CPU and I have the settings on Max (1024000) and on Minimum (245761) I also have set on boot ticked along with profiles to save battery life. Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
RootTheNoob
Are you running a kernael that can be overclocked?
How can I tell of it can be overlooked, and I'm pretty sure I am its the default core Droid Rom, or do I have to install the kernel separately as well?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
The default CoreDroid kernel isn't overclocked. Also if you have an overlooked kernel, setcpu would let you push past 1ghz.

I think you can use the leedroid kernel with coredroid can't you? If so, I'm using that one. It will overclock to 1.8. I only run at 1.2 though.
see post 957:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12123867&highlight=leedroid#post12123867
So what do I set it to to overclock it?
First you have to floash the kernel. The you use the slider in set cpu to overclock.
How do I flash it?
Sounds like you have some reading to do. Download the kernel to the root of your SD card. Then from ROM manager use CWM to flash rom from SD Card. DO A BACK UP FIRST THOUGH. Read the first few leedroid posts and that will help
No, I know how to flash things but what kernel do I use?
What kernel do I use with Core Droid?
http://leedroid.ftp.rshost.eu/DHD-Kernels/
it is the 2.2.9. Check his post here and it will tell you what you are getting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991848
Try the Inversely ROM...sure its stock based but the kernel can be oc'd to 1.8.... at 1.5 I got over 2600 and at 1.8 I got a 3309 and could do better sub some tweaking...right now though kernel is not a separate flash package.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Um..should be Ingersoll ROM.
Autocorrect fail....
What also helps is be fully charged...do your quad right after fresh boot and stop/shutdown all background processes you can..that's when you get best score.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Edit: hey he just posted his kernel ad a separate package...will make things interesting.
Guys, none of those kernels worked , I had to restore my Android to a previous backup.
Anything I can do?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Coredroid 5 is based off the the leaked GB rom no custom OC kernels are available. 1500 is about what I get with that rom also. If you want higher quadrant scores you need a froyo 2.2 based rom and kernel.

You'll prolly have to download a Rom with an oc kernel and wipe everything before you install it.
May not be what you want to do...but might be the only way to get what speeds you're wanting.
Otherwise...you'll have to wait till there's an oc kernel for the Rom your using.
yelp there isnt Oc of the core with gingerbread.. they do a 2.2 with oc. i havent done those yet cause i do like this gingerbread.. Im just going to keep with this V5.0 MIUI guys have the OC kernal for their gingerbread but they have more steps than i wanna deal with.
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 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.

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...

I'm really hoping we see some T-Mo USA compatible kernels coming soon. All previous one's I've tried did not work, and usually broke Wifi, or never would even boot.
Also hoping that we see CM9/AOKP compatible versions as well.
Make a nandroid and flash the boot.img through fastboot, whats the worst that could happen?
Nice, GPU overclock. Guys, I'm going to try this on my TMOBUS device and report back whether it works.
This is looking good! Can't wait to hear whether or not it works on 1.84 TMO-US base. I can't use fastboot from my work computer or I'd test it myself.
Yeah, Im running it on Leedroid 2.1 with the 1.78 base. Will let the phone charge before testing it.

Heres a first time quadrant test running at 1.7GHz (can clock to 2GHz!) in spite of the S3 One S owners
I have one question: There was this IMPORTANT note where it said I had to flash a zip, but which should I flash if I'm on V5?
I suppose this will only work on Sense ROMS?
Link ://d-h.st/foy v1-v4 its said but I installed the zip with v5 kernel runs great!
Flash (CWM/TWRP) compatible with this kernel postboot script and thermald.conf for better preformance and battery safe.
Flashed this over 1.84 with success. Quadrant is a couple hundred points higher without over clocking.

Edit: Clocked it down again to 1674 mhz and still got 5452? Probably due to GPU OC or something

Why when I flash a faux kernel no matter what version it is the Gigahertz always stay the same but when.I flash a bricked kernel no matter what version it goes up to 1.566 times 2.why doesn't the faux kernels ever raise the phones Gigahertz.I only had the Gigahertz go down 1 time with a faux kernel and that when I used the no frills,no thrills overclocking app.and I clocked it to 1.566 and it was killing my battery so I flashed faux kernel v005 and it took it down to 1.5.I couldn't declock it with the app became I found out that the app sucks and it stayed stuck at 1.566 which is 1.6.If anyone has ever experienced a similiar problem or know why these different problems occurred would you please let me know.and I have searched the internet before posting this. Thanks in advance.

Im absolutely not an expert so sry if my question seems a little stupid but are you flashing a working kernel for your phone??
Whats the name of the rom your running and whats your firmware?
Im running SmartDroids Beserk Rom with Brickeds Kernel and my Sensation XE is running like crazy... with normal batterylife...
clocked it for 584 mhz (min) and 1866 (Max) as std
Hope you´ll get you phone running soon...

I've been looking and searching for an overclock kernel for my d2g which I finally have running CM7.1.0. Since the unit came with 629, I used the unofficial cm rom from kang?pooka? We all know it uses the gb leaked kernel 2.6.32.9, and the os version is of course 2.3.7.
Suprisingly, everything works great, but I'm just never satisfied unless I'm overclocking lol.
Advice on a daily user kernel that's compatible with this cm7 port? Not just any droid 2.6.32 oc kernel will work right?
[Edit]
Partially solved,
I used the Milestone Overclock and SetCPU combination, seems to be working ok for now...
You cannot swap kernels on DROID2/D2G/DX. Their bootloaders are locked. Unsigned kernels cannot be installed.
There are apps and governors that let you overclock the CPU, though.
Oh that explains my failure to find any oc kernels for it lol and I should have known, since I know it has a locked bootloader. I use SetCpu for underclocking, which I know has an option to pull custom freqs from a text file, but I have been hesitant to try that if the speeds aren't supported in the kernel.
I'll look into it more and look at additional governors.

I made some progress, using Milestone Overclock to mod the kernel and SetCPU to control the clock. I found that I'm only stable up to 1340 Mhz with a vsel of 80.
This is progress, but I am more than significantly disappointed considering my last HTC Desire Z clocked from stock 800 to 1.5 ghz with no problems at all (besides obvious heat) lol.
I shall keep at it!
