[MOD] Overclock module for the One S/XL (up to 1.9GHz)

Hello!
You probably already heard about the OC module by coolbho3000. It's really nice and most of the credits should go to him.
Last night I was checking the module's code and tweaking it, and today I want to release the changes I've made to it.
Basically, the changes are the following:
- Overclock up to 1.9GHz
- It also supports the following speeds: 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 GHz (with a voltage lower than 1300000uV)
- Code improved a little.
I've attached a ZIP file with the compiled module, a modified thermald.conf, and the source code.
Enjoy it!

Got a guide to install?

How about you post instructions in the OP then?

This is good but you should add a link to original thread.
and like Reviewers said put the instructions in there
look forward to trying it

Does this Undervolt the stock cpu speeds? anyone got a module that only does just that, undervolts with no overclocks. I personally think the phone is snappy enough at the stock speeds and have no desire to overclock. but If i could undervolt it for more batt life at stock speeds i'd be all for it.

How is this working for everyone?

Does this work on all ROMs?

Works fine mostly stable, some apps force close or just don't open at the max freq.

The battery scripts in most of the custom roms out right now already include under clocking scripts, I thought. Noob here though.

underclocking and undervolting are two entirely different things. also I haven't heard of a ROM that underclocks as that would affect performance (read: speed)

The G2x has no use for these quirks. Nvidia has some special battery saving things in the phone. That's why our phone does not use CPU governors. Just use the phone as is. You can over clock but don't set CPU profiles. The nvidia chip does everything itself.

Thanks for the info, I never knew that, coming from other Android phones. I was wondering why no kernel had CPU governor options enabled.

sorry man but the apk was takin down for a bit.. somthing about the PID making the app shutdown after being off for so long. script still works, and is recommended for now. ill post when apk is back up

thx also what are the permissions for the script cause im using root explorer

which kernels do this already?
I am pretty sure that I was running on only one core when on Trinity ELP when setting it at 750 MHz and lower. Also, the newer Faux 050b6 through 050b9 go to a single core limited to no more than 503 MHz whenever the screen is off.
Is anyone aware if the Trinity T15 shuts down the second core ever?
How about the stock LG or standard CM kernel?
How about Faux's kernels for stock based ROM's? I have recently been on Kwes and Buru stock 2.3.4 ROM's using Faux 014b2 at stock voltage. If I keep the MHz low, I swear my battery performance is better than it ever was using undervolted ELP on CM7 based ROM's.
I just did 35 hours :victory: of moderate usage (about 2 hours talk, 3 hours wifi web, 1 hour text) and still had 45% left in the tank! - With the stock battery that's nearly a year old now...:good:

Tw freezing = bad oc?

Hey guys, I was running 1.782GHz for a while but I would get touch wiz freezing on me from time to time.
Do you guys think this is oc related?
I just reverted to one step lower than that, whatever it was.
Hopefully that fixes it.
I'm running sky ics rom and cymbaline kernel. Using an oc script.
Thanks!

It could be the voltage settings. If its not getting enough juice it can start to stall and worse case reboot. If you can rule that out it could also be GPU clocks if they're clocked too high.

I find that our skyrockets don't do well with mix and matching kernels and roms that haven't been tweaked to work together. You may want to try embryo 4.1 if using mohan's kernel. He write both and the integration is almost flawless, and the rom is a touchwiz base which helps our finicky skyrocket with stability. What do you need the overclock for?
Sent from my SGH-I727R

I really don't need the oc. I just wanted at least an oc since I love overclocking lol.
If I get any more problems with volts/oc ill see if I can edit the oc script to give more volts.
Thanks guys.
No problems thus far
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

fair enough, I don't really like to oc due to lack of cooling for these phones, and they seem to run best if not too over done. been using deadline for a governor though and find its far more stable and efficient (great battery/performance) than cfq, so that's my only other recommendation for cymbaline.

Actually that is an I/O scheduler not a governor.

Scott's CleanKernel v. IMO's leanKernel

IMO updated his TouchWiz kernel yesterday. Up until today I was using Scott's CleanKernel. Both are amazing kernels in my eyes. Both kernels are undervolted and overclocked. I had no issues with CleanKernel at all. I always seems to have bad battery life on the leanKernel until I flashed the updated .4 version this morning. Battery life seems much better compared to any leanKernel before the update. When running CleanKernel, I got a quadrant score of 4980. With leanKernel 0.4 I got 5160, both at stock 1.5GHz. I just want to see if others have noticed what I have between these two kernels.

You forgot that both are released in the Development section. A place where this thread does NOT belong...

Now that this has been moved can we get back on topic? What is yalls experience with these two kernels?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

personally i like leankernal because of how light and simple it is. no unneccesary weight and battery life is great.

Clean kernel is closer to stock than imos kernel which is kinda good and bad. The more you modify the kernel the more chance you'll have of breaking something but you also have the posabilty of making it way better if done right and everything comes out ok.
I would expect clean kernel to be more stable, less battery efficient, and a little slower overall. Where imos kernel could vary drastically with each update due to more major things being edited or changed. Right now imos beta. 4 has pretty good battery life over stock and is stable.
Personally I try the more modified stuff first and if I don't feel it pays off I move to something more stable or closer to stock until an update is released or problem addressed. Just my. 02

Clean Kernel is under volt by default for a given frequency. That is why the battery life is better. If you are looking for both performance and battery life, you should over clock Clean Kernel frequency to 1.89 (default is 1.5) max and min should be 400 range. GPU in Clean Kernel is also over clocked. "stable" is the key word to differentiate between the two. I would think that Clean Kernel is the most stable kernel of all. For speed they should be the same, for bells and whistles, Lean kernel would be your choice. To sum up, Clean Kernel give you both world, stable, performance and battery life... unless you want something else beside those 3.

So you're a cleankernel guy? I definitely agree with you about this being all three things. So as far as the GPU being overclocked, why does lean kernel .4 perform better in games

Like I have mentioned, if you aiming for gaming performance then you better to use lean, but then your battery life wouldn't be too good. Most of people just want a fast stable phone and a good battery life for daily use, then Clean will be a better choice. The reason it's stable because no tweaks to it except for OC/UV. Have you tried to play game with Clean over clocked to 1.89?

Actually I never thought of overclocking and playing the game until now. I guess Im just used to being at stock. But I will give it a try and see how that works. But what your saying definitely makes sense and should clear some things up. Performace + battery life = cleankernel. PERFORMANCE + PERFORMANCE = leankernel. Although the battery life on leankernel has dramatically been improved.

Haha.. you got it...almost.. Performance+battery life+stable=Clean. Super perfornance -less battery life - 10% stable=Lean kernel. Good luck bro.

ok I just setup an app profile in setcpu. so now everytime im in my game, its overclocked. When im using it normally, its at stock speed. With the screen off, its at min 190 and max 452. so far so good!

.5 is up now with more fixes.

Lightning Zap! Kernel feedback

Post here for your feedback on what you would like to see in the future for the Lightning Zap! kernel.
I want to know what are the most widely used governors, io-schedulers and over/under clock voltages.
I'll post some of my ideas here in a bit to get things rolling

Does it need any more? Quite the nice kernel, sir. Thank you again for all your help with getting mine up and running. You've been a valuable resource for me.

I'd love to see the badass governor added. Otherwise, it's handled everything I have thrown at it with ease.

Love the kernel sio/smartass combo is what I'm rocking...great battery life and super smooth keep up the great work. It makes it sooo hard to update to a new phone w the battery life I'm getting on my SR w this kernel and w Nibbles ROM. Any chance of you releasing a ROM of your own for the SR.
