I'm running a faux kernel v005 that put my phone at 1.5 GHz.and when I want to amp it up alittle bit I have set cpu on my phone always set at 1188 MHz only when I want a bigger punch I knock it up to 1.728.what should I set the cpu apps governor at?and how I have my phone set up is this alright?Does any one know of a Good bricked sense kernel that would clock my cpu to 1.5-1.9.any input on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Hi,
With faux,you need to set it to "Intellidmand"
Then it will determine what you need,based on what you are doing with your phone.

I'm sorry for the noob question but I really don't understand voltage terms and what's it for and how it work I was wandering if anyone could explain it to me?
In the past I would use set CPU and create a few profiles and would be done with it but I been reading on the forums about setting voltages higher and lower for better performance.
Currently i'm on eagles blood 2.3.5 ROM, trinity t15 (fun) kernel.
Any help would be much appreciated.

It's to save power and get better battery life. You lower the amount of power the chip gets at various clockspeeds until it starts not working correctly, then back up to a voltage at which the chip is stable at that clockspeed. Some chips can handle lower voltages than others while still working correctly.
Overclocking = get better performance
Undervolting = get better battery life
Both can lead to phone instability if you set the values to extremes.
Thank you for the info

It all depends on the kernel your using and if it supports UV, it should say if it does in the name of the kernel tho(just look for uv ) Setcpu 2.2.4 will allow you to change voltages only if your kernel/rom support it.
you can safely undervolt -50 -75 at most all the way up to 1.0ghz-1.1ghz i wouldn't undervolt past that.

So what your saying is I can use setcpu to change the voltage?I just recently changed kernels I saw that option available but I didn't understand how to use it.under voltages it shows all the GHz underneath it it shows 0.From here what do I do?, do I go too each GHz profile and -50 from all of it?

Hey guys will overclocking drain the battery quicker even with stock voltages?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Different voltages are specified as stock for different frequencies. As the frequency changes, the voltage does too. Running 1200mhz with the stock 1000mhz voltage will probably cause instability and crashing.

And if increase voltage, the power consumption should also increase.
i haven't played with voltages yet but in my experience the benefits of overclocking are minimal anyway, and they make nexus reboot often and other bad things :/
With the right settings you can get a fully stable and functional overclock, but it is on a per-phone basis due to varying quality of the same CPU during manufacture.

Currently I'm using icup kernel speedy 5 clocked at 1.4 and its been extremely stable. So what your saying is that the voltages automatically increase when I select a higher frequency, because I did not change them manually.

Open NSTools and select Voltage tab. That's the list of "stock" voltages for each frequency.

A CPU governor such as on demand, lulzactive and lazy tells the CPU what clock to be at and automatically change. While reading, it will be at 100 or 200mhz, while playing a game it will be at the maximum clock you tell it to. Saves power this way.

yes, usually 1 GHz is enough , UV or OC also may reduce hardware's physical life
trying to make some custom setcpu profiles and curious if anyone knows what the lowest safe cpu speed for when the screen is off and also while in a call and the screen is off?
Right now I'm on VI and I'm running 368 max and 245 min which is the lowest min for this rom. I always run the lowest on min and 1 higher for max on sleep settings. I don't encounter any issues.

Don't go below 200 when screen is off. You'll get the "sleep of death" at the most inconvenient times.

I run lowest at 187MHz @ 700mV without any problem. I also set my screen off freq to that. Never tried one below that freq.
Here's a little info on using an overclocking daemon vs setcpu taken from the virtuous unity thread.
Introduction to the new Overclocking Daemon
This ROM features a completelynew wayof Overclocking and managing screen states.
The History But before explaining it further, let's talk about previous solutions. There are several different approaches to achieve "screen-state-scaling". That means basically thatthegovernor changes if you turn the screen off and changesbackto normal when turning the screen on.
This is mainly used to restrict the amount of CPU usage (the frequency in fact) during screen off. This can lead to a major battery life increase.
The solutions so far were:
Apps likeSetCPU,which changeautomaticallythe governor based on profiles Integrated solutions in the governor itself
Both these solutions have major problems.
The one with a tuner app is always a little laggy right after turning on the screen because SetCPU (or any other CPU tuner) needs some time to change the governors (up to 7 seconds). This leads mostly to major lag in the lockscreen.
The second solution is the smartass governor. It has already a screen-state-scalingincluded,so it reduces the frequency when the screen turn off. This could be a really nice solution but it has some problems too. Smartass most of the time is not really stable and has problems with its frequency scaling.
Be aware that the daemon only works if all CPU tuner apps are deinstalled. Otherwise it deactivates itself.

Thats very low. Surprised you do not get any issues.
Wish I could find the thread, but I was on a custom ROM that set the minimum CPU frequency to something below 200 by default, and I couldn't send text or MMS messages. Really weird.
Can someone help me out on what exactly I need to edit on this file so my cpu settings will stick.
I am running clean kernel and its oc capable of 1.9, bit most of the time I want it set at 1.7...we it always reverts back and runs up at 1.9 even with my no Frills setting at 1.7.

Hi joho,
find 1512000 and replace it with whatever you want your maximum speed to be when the first thermal alarm is encountered.

I changed the value from 1512000 to 1728000...and no Frills is set to only run at 1728 max, and set on boot is ticked.
The cpu still freely gets up to 1.9. I edited that fine and saved and rebooted.

I haven't had a problem getting max freq of 1.89 to stick using System Tuner.
However I wasn't able to get min freq of 192 to stick even with editing thermald.
But I did get 192 to stick after editing /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq and setting the file permissions to read only.
Hello,everyone....recently I overclock my desire s and thanks to many of you I received many useful information so I want to share impression how overclocking has improved performance and battery to help other like us to know what and how to use overclocking and governor....
So I start ....
I use Viper saga with tweaked kernel 3.x/ondemand with deadline/cpu min.245-max.1410
I noticed that my graphic is very good and everything works like a charm....for example in FIFA12 I noticed that even the shadow of all player are so intense and everything is so clear,it seems that improves my graphic and my phone is faster..I hope that overclocking to 1410 to not damaged my phone.So what configuration do you have ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Set the governor to performance. Battery eater though. But u only can choose better battery life or smoother graphics, so make up ur mind and choose one :thumbup:
When playing with overclocking unstick 'set on boot'. So that it goes back to normal once reboot in case of any freeze. Overclock it based on ur desired value, experiment with it, slowly. increase the value step by step. Leave it for a day then increase again. If it freezes then u know ur phone's limit.

i have read that people say it's stable up to 1.5 GHz.
I have set mine to 1.3GHz to be on the safe side.
And set it to,on demand,so it only takes up more when it needs to.
setting it up to high speeds can result in a melt down,draining batteries and will shorten out the life of your phone even when stable for a couple of days so be aware of what your doing...
there is no best value for everyone, some say 1ghz is enough, some say 1.5 ghz is not enough.
so it depends on what you need, its a trial and error thing
u will get a fast response phone but battery life is sucs ... cant complain though

If you want separate screen on/screen off profiles, I would recommend daemon controller app (with andrev_oc installed through the app).
If you want more profiles for different situations, setcpu is probably the only real option.
Setting to 1.3 GHz depends on the kernel you're using, not on the app.
