[Q] Does Overclock pay?

As the title says:
Does Overclock pay?
I especially mean, is it really remarkable on games (angry birds seasons eg), transitions, general performance?
Which method/apk u use(d)?
How much do you personal overclock?
Is it stable if phone´s use long times?
concerning this, what is a governour?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Well to be brief it pays
Though the entire experience is not that good if you try to run an HDPI game on our LDPI device, you can experience some lag of half screens
but other games like angry birds and all run flawlessly
The FPS of the games increase by appreciable numbers(Like sandstorm and other gameloft games ), though I havent yet faced any stability issue (Except the frequent Market FC) other things work normally
I use Lagfree governor and Deadline I/o scheduler
In short words governor determines how the frequency of the cpu changes with respect to the load on it

Thank you for the reply.
So I know it pays to overclock, now, as I won´t brick my second fit, is a question to me, how do I do this in a secure way?
Is is depending which ROM I use?
Is it APP or do I have to flash Kernel?
If it is Kernel which one matches with my ROM?
Many Questions, but before I make this step, I´ll be as sure as possible about this topic.

i've OCed my galaxy fit and so far i'm getting the best of my phone without any drawback. well if there IS a drawback, i think the only drawback it has is because of the governor which causes the phone unstable.
and to answer what a governor is, it's simply like a CPU manager which controls ur CPU speed at anytime. suppose i put my phone in my pocket and i don't use it, of course i don't want my phone to work 100%, no? so the governor slows down the CPU speed. of course, u can control what is the minimum speed of ur CPU (so far it's as low as 122 MHz for galaxy fit) and also what is the maximum speed (so far it's as high as 801 MHz)
there's so many governors but so far, the most battery conserving, yet doesn't sacrifice your phone performance when u need it most, is interactiveX. and the most performance efficient, yet doesn't suck a lot of battery juice when u don't use ur phone, is smartassV2. if u wanna know more about governors and I/O schedulers u can check it here
so far, the only OC-able ROM i know for galaxy fit is CM7, which is still unofficial but working properly without any significant bugs. and yes it needs to be flashed using CWM (it's CWM v5.0 for galfit so far). after u do that, u need to install some app like "no frills CPU" (market available) or "setCPU" (also market available) to make use the governors and set the max or min speed for your CPU.
to sum it up, how to OC ur galaxy fit (if u're using stock ROM or by now, CREED's ROM):
1. install CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery) link for tutorials and reference
2. flash CM7 (CyanogenMod 7 custom ROM) using CWM. link for tutorials and reference
3. flash ur kernels using CWM also. link for tutorials and reference
4. install CPU manager app like no frills or setCPU.
5. set ur max/min CPU speed, and choose the governor properly.
*update*
sorry for the wrong link. and by the way, did u bricked ur previous galaxy fit by using ROM manager? if u did, be careful coz this CM7 is pre-installed with ROM manager. i suggest u uninstall it immediately after u've flashed ur CM7. install Titanium Backup then go to the backup/restore tab, search the ROM manager, then uninstall it. ROM manager still isn't compatible with galfit tho
that's it and i don't mind u clicking the thanks button

Thank you also for the comprehensive answer.
I just have another question to that (gosh I hope I don´t get annoying to you all folks):
As I am using CWM and running ext4 and did the backup of my actual sys and would flash to cm7 like described in your answer, the cm7 is working fine etc, will I be able to "switch" back to Creeds ROM by chosing my backup, using cwm or do I have to flash it all anew?

i'm afraid i don't know the answer to that, sir.
well say that u've done the backup now when u're in CREED's ROM, u flash it to CM7 then u wanna revert it back to CREED's ROM, i think the safest way is to flash it all new the CREED's ROM, then do the restore data using CWM.
well, my guts say that if u're in CM7 n u do the restore data in CWM, u'll get back your ol' CREED's ROM, but it's just my guts sayin

I´ll try and report

I tried to start, but your links lead all to the same, the cwm Install Instructions.
still need cm7 link (cuz I am not sure which one of that) for cwm and the oc kernel (which I also dunno, which one of them. So if you pleasssse ...

okay, i've updated my post. it now should link you to the proper post. don't forget to check my note on that post too though.

thanks for correcting and also the notes.
Yeah I bricked it by using ROM Manager, but it was completely my fault.
I wanted to fast, without reading AND a special portion of being silly
If ya like read this:

I do it with cwa this time backup is already made
edit: dunno what is meant by mount /system? What do I have to expect, when I am chosing this and what does it do?
As far as I understood is it being made between cm7 and oc-kernel installation. Right?

sorry for the long reply, it's sleep time in my country lol
mount system is a command to mount ur system folder in order to install the required. in this case, u're installing the kernel, so u need to mount the system in the recovery mode. to do that, go to recovery mode (since now u're using CM7 u can go to rec mode using the power button, choose reboot, choose recovery). then choose mount and storage, choose mount/system. don't worry, it's completely safe.
by the way, u also need to mount system for installing google apps in ur CM7 ROM. CM7 ROM is not preinstalled with google apps (including market, maps, and so on), so u need to install it manually using CWM also, flash the zip files provided in the tutorial thread. it's called gapps_bla bla bla if i remember correctly.
when i was flashing the google apps, i didn't get the market and maps application. so i install it manually using this link.
but i just read some guy with the same problem, n he said this.
haven't tried the later, maybe that'll work also.

Thanx again for all the effort. Sleep is an overestimated thing
But to be serious. I also slept and thought about that all and decided, first to stay with Creeds Rom, cuz it is fast, runs stable, looks good and has many features I apreciate.
Maybe I come back later to that point I wanna Install cm7oc, then I know where to look.

Still lets me no rest.
There´s still a new question in my head about the OC-Kernel.
there are many to chose, so which one is the most stable?
------------------------------ Smart boot 17 feature Governor, SIO, VR, BFQ, CFQ, Deadline, noop --------------------

use CWM, and before flashing , dont forget to mount /system first and then flash this zip file
use no-Frills for OC and I/O setting
if get unstable , please set max 600 Mhz again, enjoy
DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK !!!!

There are two 768 MHz and 801.2 MHz
Both are stable

There is also a general question about oc.
why can´t I just use an overclocktool like no-frills or cpumaster on any kernel?
They "promise" to increase speed, so why install OC Kernel first?
Although I know it must have a reason, cuz you oc-guys all do it.

kernel is the cars engine
no=frills is the accelerator
thats the way i understand it /

yes overclocking your device gives you that extra mile ..by which you can run apps faster ..your phones bagginess goes!!! but has its cons also!! ..it does reduce your life expectancy of cpu atleast theoretically .. and you will get reduced battery life + your device will heat up a bit more than usual! ..other than that its awesome to have an oc.

I finally can conclude, Overclocking really pays. And still I can decide to keep my OCed cell running with 600 at max or give it a little or maybe big OC.
Thank you all guys for helping me, sharing your knowledge.

I am searching for a program like no-frills, which can also decide by profile (maybe even autodetect) when my phones connected to charger ---> use this profile/governor, if it is running from battery ---> that profile.
Does a program like this exist?

[A510][KERNEL][2012-11-18] ThrillsKernel V2 & V3

ThrillsKernel for the Acer Iconia TAB A510
version 2012-11-18, built from source​
Here it is, the first ever non-stock kernel for the Acer Iconia TAB A510, dubbed the "ThrillsKernel"!
What's in this kernel:
Comes in two flavors: V2 for ICS ROMs and V3 for JB ROMs
Removed 'Samsung EMMC brick' bug: This prevents your internal memory from becoming corrupted.
CPU Governors: Interactive, conservative, ondemand, powersave, userspace, performance, SmartassV2 and lulzactive.
I/O schedulers: Noop, deadline, CFQ, Simple I/O, V/R and BFQ.
Removed Acer mount security: Now you can mount system as r/w.
NTFS, CIFS, and MD4 support
Tegra3 optimizations
Various other performance tweaks
Installation:
Step 0:
Check this thread to see if you can help the community before you let us help you!
Step 1:
If you don't have it already, install my CWM-Based Recovery.
Step 2:
Download the kernel from this post, extract the .RAR files and put the .ZIP file on your internal or external SD Card.
Step 3:
Start Recovery by powering down your device, holding the Volume down (**) button and turning it on again.
Step 4:
Make a Nandroid Backup. I can't stress this enough. Select backup and restore and choose one of the backup options.
Step 5:
Install this ROM by choosing install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard or choose zip from external sdcard.
Step 6:
Wait for the installation to finish (this takes a few minutes). Spend your time reading the text below these installation instructions!
Step 7:
Select wipe dalvik cache from the advanced menu, thenreboot system now, and enjoy!
Please read the following carefully before installing this kernel:
I am not responsible for anything you do to your tablet. Whatever you do, you do it at your own risk!
Which version should I install?
ThrillsKernel2 is built on the 2.6.39 linux kernel and intended for A510 tablets with a ICS ROM installed. That's Android version 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3 or 4.0.4.
ThrillsKernel3 is built on the 3.1.10 linux kernel and intended for A510 tablets with a JB ROM installed. That's Android version 4.1.0, 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. There is no support for 4.2+ yet.
FAQ:
Want to use ThrillsKernel in your own ROM? Go ahead, make my day.
Need ***** added to the kernel? Let me know, and I will try!
Want to remove the kernel from a NoThrills ROM? Although it's not recommended, it's possible. Check the instructions in the respective ROM thread.
Want to give me your first born baby? I'd rather not have that, but if you really want to give me something: Either click the 'Donate to me' button on the left, or simply hit the 'Thanks' button on this post.
Changelog:
The ThrillsKernel has the date as version number, e.g. version 20121118 is November 18th, 2012. You can check the status (or changelog, whatever you will) of the kernel by visiting the commit history of my github page:
Click here for updates to ThrillsKernel2
Click here for updates to ThrillsKernel3
Just check what the date of the ThrillsKernel is, and you can simply look at the dates of the commits to see if it's included in the kernel or not. Example: With the version from November 18th, any commit up untill that date is included in the kernel. With the 20120917 version, every commit up untill September 17th is included in the kernel.
​
Downloads:
The kernel is not released on its own yet, because I haven't been able to test it on many ROMs. If you want it, install any of my ROMs:
NoThrills A510 WorldWide optimized Stock ROM
NoThrills A510 "Franken700" Stock ROM
NoThrills A510 Unofficial CyanogenMod 10
ThrillsKernel is included with these ROMs as of 2012/09/17. Developers, feel free to extract the kernel and use it in your own ROMs.

Great new!

So it was Acer who was messing with remounting system RW?
Suggestion- maybe switching to TinyRCU is a good idea? It has a lower memory footprint and performs faster​

I used to use rootdim on my thrive to get it so low I could use the tab as an alarm clock with the screen on and facing me all night.
But trying the same on this a510, the backlight just goes completely off if I try to set it any lower than default. So I wonder if it is a hardware limitation.
It would be nice though. This thing makes my eyes hurt in the morning on the bus to work.

Overclock possible please? Thanks.

I'm currently quote happy with the stock ROM apart from the lack of CIFS so I took the modules from /system/lib/modules [NoThrills A510 WorldWide optimized Stock ROM] and copied them to my stock (but rooted) A510.
CIFS works perfectly!
Thanks!:good:

Feedback:
I've tried Smartass v2 and Lulzactive and they seem to eat up more juice.
I then checked System Tuner Pro for my CPU times, and I noticed that my CPU would only go from inactive to 1.3 or 1.4GHz. It doesn't use the values in between.
I then switched to Interactive, and I can see the CPU clocks like 400+ and 600+ used again.
Not sure if it's just me though, but I'm putting it out there for everyone to test. Nevertheless, I love this kernel, I love the optimized A510 that you released as it fixed my screen responsiveness issue entirely. Take that Acer!

Another question, what's the best app to tweak the CPU governor? Or I guess... what do you use NoThrills?

I'd say NoFrills CPU Control- works fine on ICS/JB
Other one is SetCPU but last time I used it there were problems on ICS (January/February)

I've used SetCPU without problems myself. I do however have the purchased version, which is different from the free version that can be found on XDA. That one doesn't seem to be updated anymore.

I've posted about my touchscreen problems in some games in the Optimized ROM thread.. but no answers there. The problem is only there when I use the NoThrills kernel... the stock kernel works good. Have you got any idea what the problem can be?

I had the same problem with some games too ... so I came back to stock kernel
another bug I noticed: battery can't charge to 100%, always blocking at 99%

but between 2 charges I rebooted it and in both case blocking at 99

Aaargh, I hate all this touch problems with this f#@$ tablet. Games only playable with the stock kernel, but a piano app is not usable because it doesn't always detect your fingers. Sometimes it's perfect, you can press up to 10 keys at the same time, and sometimes it doesn't recognize two fingers. So I probably need the custom kernel for this.. but I don't want to flash a different kernel for different apps.
This is really the worst device I've ever bought, I hate this piece of crap. I hope this annoying problem will be solved in some future kernels but untill now there isn't a perfect one out there which solves all the problems. No offence to anyone, I know it's all in your spare time, but it's a rant to Acer. A device of about €450 which is soo bad, that's some really bad engineering!

Maybe this new file format would be considerated (or not ) ?

[Q] TF700t restarts when I toggle the power modes

I was running Cromi 4.7 and upgraded to 5.3 today. I also switched over to Hund's 3.4 kernel.
Now, when I change the power setting to performance or eco, the tablet freezes and then restarts (in Balanced mode).
The options I picked during the install process are-
US hunds with experimental tweaks
Software rendering disabled
GPU OC
CPU OV
GPU UV
I can't figure out if I messed something up during the install or if I need to play with the settings in Hunds app. Any ideas?

If you are using Hund v3.4.3 ET with the ET build.prop, you should NOT install the GPU OC, CPU OV, and GPU UV because the ET is already UV/OC for the kernel. Can you tell me what you have in your init folder? You can go here and find it: "/system/ect/init". It is a easy fix that I believe... One more question, did you do a clean installation with a data format?
Thanks,
LMK

Thanks so much for helping me out with this.
I misunderstood the relationship between the kernel and the ROM. I thought the kernel made those options possible, but that I still needed to select them. So, simply using Hund v 3.4.3 ET enables these options automatically.
The init.d folder has the following files in it: 50CleanTWEAKS, 70B2R, 80Fsync, 89OV, 90 UV, 91GPUUV, and 99hundsapp.
Before I flashed the ROM I did a factory reset with TWRP.

I think that your problem is that you under voltage too much which causes the kernel running unstable... So you could try this to see if you can fix your issues...
First, you may want to do a nandroid back from TWRP. Just in case you want to go back to your original state...
Second, delete these files from your init folder: "89OV, 90 UV, 91GPUUV".
Third, reboot your device and see if it is still rebooting when switching to performance mode....Good luck...:fingers-crossed:
Please report back what is happening when you delete those files, thanks..

[Q] CPU's rude frequencies

Hello xda!
Theres something strange going on with my Sensation..
I can not set up my own frq's.
Everytime I set some it goes higher. For example..
I am @ 1080-475 I switch the window to set some profiles and back to the main. bah.. Current max: 1134.. 1450.. 1552.. 1134.
Bar I set before should lock it @ 1080 and it does but just in practice.
I was trying to set some other governors with no succes. It goes higher everytime.
Root acces was given, ROMs tested.
I got phone from my brother. Is it even possible to change some hardware settings or wtf is it that block my ideas????

I am using SlimKat and Viper. Same bug excist @ both of the roms. Kernels provided with shantur, sebastian and libelty are bugged.
I've changed those values with no results. Once I was trying to set maxcpu_info my root explorer stucked @ saving process. Sth was remaking values @ 1540000 mhz just after rootacces was given to explorer. Some deep **** is going down there.
That's why Sensations are overheating, it's same bug threw all stock kernels/rom @ this forum.
Max values can not be set! They re permanent for some reason - failed coding I suppose.
Libelty Kernel fix Vipers issues. There's no kernel working with KK.

liberty's and sebastianFM's kernel aren't bugged
i have changed cpu frequencies successfully
in vipers rom disable pnpmanger from venom tweaks
then put your desired cpu freq
about slimkat rom i can't tell you somethig because i have never used that rom
also in stock kernels you can't changed nothing
they do not support overclock or underclock

It's possible to scale CPU frequency in slimkat ROM too.

@Cl3Kener: Big thanks for your hard work. Installed your kernel yesterday, and can definately see some improvements.
 @ramjet73: Big thanks to you too. I followed your posts/instructions and flashed rastapop+uber and am happy i finally took the plunge.
Now for my question: I have the tricksterMOD and I can't see any color profiles (except the default). How can I apply other profiles? I only see one.
Regards,

Low brightness after install
Hello, I gave a question... When I installed a last Uber kernel L v4.10 from 9 December of 2014... I have a very low brightness... How can I fix it...
Also I cannot make OC more than 2.7 or 2.8 ... Phone doesn't boot... And how I can fix it...
Thank you for a answer

Hi,
is it advisable to disable filesystem trim in ubers cfg file while using f2fs?
Chet says, F2FS is auto-trimmed: https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13cxltwwqjcsx3ta22pyx5reobgudsiq04

Are there any negative consequences for clocking the minimum frequency at 96MHz?

Usb-otg f2fs
I'm currently using the latest version of UBER-L kernel (01/01/15).
I have formatted my Micro USB to F2FS and would like to use it with my phone. TWRP recognises the USB and mounts it successfully, but the ROM (OptiPop) does not mount the USB. Both mount the USB fine when it is formatted to FAT32.
Is it possible for me to use F2FS using USB-OTG?
Thanks.
Edit: Got it working by using the 'Stickmount' app. ^_^

I disabled trimming and I dont see a difference with f2fs. I would conclude that it isn't necessary with f2fs

Is there changelog of the new kernel version?

Its all on github. The link is on the OP of the original thread. (The one with the download links)

GPU clock not going above 450MHz
Hey, I'm using this kernel (latest version as of now), on a clean flash of Optipop (also latest as of now - 11/01) with F2FS.
I set the max gpu clock to 650000000 in the uber_v1.3.cfg file in /etc
(also by terminal as in the 2nd post just to be sure) (echo "650000000" > the path and all)
Apps like System Monitor Lite and CPU-Z confirm that the max gpu clock is 650Mhz (Adreno 330 @ 650Mhz).
I have also set the performance governor (in the config file, and I tried via synapse + UKM 3.6.1 too) (I have set synapse not to apply settings on boot, so that should not be interfering with the init config of uber kernel until I set something in it.) I have no other kernel tweaking apps anyway.
However, the clock only goes up to 450MHz no matter what. It goes directly to 450 when touching the screen due to the performance governor, so I know settings are being applied.
However System Monitor, CPU-Z etc all show, current clock: 450MHz, Max Clock 650Mhz.
Even benchmarking with GFX bench gives results basically identical to the stock Nexus 5 with 450MHz, so there is no performance and FPS difference that should be there.
I searched the developer thread and found a few posts from many months ago that the gpu overclock was working properly for many people, with an appropriate improvement in FPS and benchmarks, with a couple of people also having my issue, that whatever of 650/533/450 max I apply, gpu doesn't go over 450MHz. However I couldn't find any solution.. it stopped working properly at some point between those builds when Chet introduced 533/650 and now?
I can't post in the dev thread (less than 10 posts).
This is reproducible, right after a clean boot, not a thermal issue (am not overclocking CPU, not running any CPU benchmarks, temp is less than 50C).
Hope someone can help. Thanks!

Installed Optipop back onto my N5 today. After a few hours of the phone being on the UI starts to act up then eventually needs a reboot to get back to being functional. I then flashed UberL kernel and now my screen is fuzzy and glitches out. Never had this problem in the past with Optipop or UberL. Please don't ask if I dirty flashed or deleted the android folder. I completely wipe my phone before I install a new ROM. I have been installing ROMs for a good minute now and have never seen this before. I have tried at least 5 other rom/kernel combos.....none have the same affect as UberL and Optipop. Yes I've tried F2FS ONLY Permissive Only and EXT4/F2FS Permissive and Enforcing with no luck.

Has the issue with the missing charging icon when the phone is turned off and plugged in reappeared? I have System, Data, and Cache formatted as F2FS and flashed F2FS-ONLY-Lollipop-Kernel-Cl3Kener-Kexec-Permissive.zip before flashing UBER, but I am still having this issue. Everything else appears to be running smoothly.

Is there anyway to know if I isntalled corectly this kernel ? I changed a setting in the cfg file and it seem to not change anything. For exemple,
10.2 : Double tap to wake
# -Double tap on screen to wake up the device.
# - option are:
# 0 - Diable
# 1- BOTTOM hald of screen
# 2- Full screen
DT2W=2
When i tried to doubletap the screen, nothing happened.
When i installed the kernel, i didn't cleared the cache and the ????? but it might be working Anyway. is there a way to know if its working ?
After a benchmarks i think that the kernel isn't realy doing someting. i added +50 in 3.CPU SETTINGS OVERVOLT... isn't realy doing someting.

Confirmed. I have the same problem. Nothing in the uber.cfg file works. Its as if it wasn't even there.

Format rom and then delete cache + tmp\mksh. Make sure to have a fresh ROM folder. Reinstall OptiPoP.ZIP, then flash the kernel before even boot. Now u can boot. install GA APP. Some time reinstalling work. Am lcuky...
Always do the following AFTER installing the kernel:
1. Clear cache
2. Clear dalvik
3. Fix Permissions

So you are saying that fixes the issue with the cfg file?

After 2 Benchmarks, i can say that doing this fixed MY problem. Uber/sabermod is now working realy well for the performance. Uses AnTuTU to check if its working. It upgraded a lot the performance for me.

Which governor gives me more performance?
