Since we've had root I have been running tiamat and using setcpu to overclock to 1500 and its been working great.
After the 3.2 upgrade to 2.6.36.4Tiamat_Xoom-V2.0.0 for 3.2, SetCPU has a habit of going to 216MHz even thought its set for 1500. If I open setcpu it says 216 but if I simply click on the Max bar it jumps back to 1500.
I have had setcpu on Performance and Interactive - Both do the same. It may keep 1500 for a few hours or only an hour - then the system gets slow due to the 216MHz clock....
Any ideas?
Never heard of such an issue on the Xoom until now...
Common sense I know, but... make sure you don't have any profiles set up to cause this. That is the only thing I can think of. Ex: It's set to clock to the lowest speed while AC charging, etc.
If all else fails... wiping data is your best friend to fix strange problems while flashing custom Roms. Back up all of your apps with their data via Titanium Backup, then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, then restore all apps with data, but do not restore any system data or system apps. That's the best thing you can do, if you do not do this... you may experience problems like so. I've had strange issues before and doing this fixed it all up no problem.

You can set the lowest speed higher. Use interactive and don't set on boot unless you are really sure that it's stable.
Speaking about SetCPU, on phones, there is the menu button which you can click but it doesn't seem to appear on the Xoom which basically allows you to autodetect speeds, are you guys able to access that other than only on the first launch of setcpu after installed?

setcpu never worked right for me. use no-frills cpu.
Hi all,
I've got a problem with System Tuner. On every ICS ROM I try the CPU clock and voltage settings won't stick. After I reboot the phone they go back to their defaults. Hence, I've got 3 questions:
1. Does everyone have these problems? Did I not check a setting or something?
2. What alternatives to System Tuner don't turn the second CPU core permanetly on?
And 3. Is there an init.d script which lets you set the clock speeds/voltage settings? Because I would rather not use an app at all to do that.
Set your CPU clock and voltages, then press Boot settings on the cpu tab( small button ), press Re-apply CPU Settings -> On boot completed.

Yes I did that, but the minimum frequency doesn't stick.
Nobody?
I'm using No-frills atm, but does that turn CPU1 permanently on?

My setup is similar to yours except I'm on ARHD 6.5.3.
I can confirm it is changing back to 192Mhz min. Could be kernel related as I'm on bricked 3.0 v5 too. Maybe we should ask showp-1984 or it cold be related to System Tuner.
Did you have tried another software like setCPU?

Hi there I'm on same Rom but with serbas ken and I use system tuner pro and mine sticks even after reboot, on a off chance do you have oc demon disabled in boot settings

Could you be more detailed Do you mean " Re-Apply CPU settings" if so yes I had it enabled. I will reflash stock o any other kernel and check if it's going to solve this.
I also have this problem with system tuner pro, now i'm using setcpu and the settings stick.
using vipers 1.1.0, tried anthrax/bricked/faux123 all didn't stick.
You know you.could ask the dev of super tuner. He's always very responsive anytime I've had issues. Also having different versions backed up in Ti helps as well cause a new update fixes one thing from a slew of phones but might just break yours. Having a backup versions means you can go back restore and test.

In relation to your second question, what kernel are you using? Faux's kernel has the second core on by default. System tuner doesn't have the ability to turn it off. If you want it offline until it's needed, try seb's or bricked kernels instead.
System Tuner 3.0
Just to let you know System Tuner 3.0 was released some time ago and provides improved CPU handling, new GPU, Gamma, MP, thermal controls on many custom kernels and a lot of other new or improved features (entropy, fstrim to name a few).
This is now a spawn of Android Tuner, and benefits from a larger user-base, improved stability and performance.
It now has the ability to turn on/off CPU cores, with a dedicated screen-off option. Only if custom kernel allows it though.
guys...my phone sometimes freezes on the lockscreen....and I have to pull out the battery...the problem is that this happens with all roms, sense or not based....
what's going on?!
You may get more help if you provide a little more info, ie:
-Are you using a specific 3rd party launcher with roms?
-Are you using a custom kernel, and if so what are your settings?
-Have you tried running in safe mode to rule out 3rd party apps?
-Did this problem begin after anything in particular you can think of?
-etc....
Maybe too low CPU values?
Undervolt can cause this as well.
It happened to me while using APEX on ARHD.
But indeed more info is needed.
this started a week ago...with miui official/faux kernel and now with aokp b38/tamcore kernel....I know tamcore kernel is undervolted, and don't know nothing about faux's one...
I use nova launcher, setcpu is set at 384/1188 and I have a profile screen-off at 192/432...
uh, forgot, I use SIO scheduler...I set it with no frills and uninstalled it after, to have just one cpu control app (setcpu)...
this morning my alarm didn't ring! then I had to pull out the battery because it was freezed...luckily I woke up by myself this morning XD
I recommend to use a higher off-screen value (384 MHz) as a first try. See how it reacts and also use an app to check the current voltage (like system tuner / st pro).
If this does not helps then start isolating apps.
I have NOOP sched and 384-432 Off-screen and had no issues far, but I remember that with 192 Mhz a while ago the screen did not wake up a few times (on ARHD 6.3.x).
I updated to b39, nothing now....if it freezes i'll try setting a higher minfreq...
thank you all! thx+1
Hi,
I have tried different rom + kernel:
cleanrom
ultra fast rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901784
untermensch kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892326
and still can't oc the cpu to something higher than 1.3ghz
I used the No-frills CPU as well as the antutu cpu master (free version)
for the No-frills cpu, whenever I set the CPU speed to something high (ie. 1.6ghz max and 102mhz min), checked apply on root then apply, it worked fine for a while, but later on when I open no-frills cpu, th e current max and min will reset back to 1.3ghz and 102mhz.
Governor and I/O scheduler is fine though.
Sounds to me like u need to check start on boot..i havent oveclocked mine yet but option should be there where u select governors and such...

Of course i have checked that it just didnt work
Give Voltage Control a try. It gives you the options to apply on boot or init.d. I use the init.d setting because the phone boots quicker. I had that problem with CPU Master in the past while running it on my phone.

Will do, however i dont think it's the reboot problem. The problem was, when i set the cpu speed to 1.5 or 1.6 its works fine for an hour or so ( i closed the cpu app, reopen it and the curent seed got set) but then an hour or so, it got resetted back to 1.3 without rebooting the device

Hi!
No, this happens to everyone
However, it seems a pretty good thing - why we need OC - if the device sleep ? :laugh:
- it is also good for battery - !
So i will have to reoverclock it everytime ??
Mine doesn't do this at all. I use CleanROM 3.1, unters kernel and setcpu. No issues.
I guess I know why it's because setcpu has the profile settings allows u to set the CPU speed when screen is on / when screen is unlocked
Othe CPU apps I have tried have no such feature which means oc works when u set it, but when u turn off the screen then turn it on , it will reset back to 1.3ghz
Using setcpu, what I did was set a "screen off" profile to max out at 1700ghz when the screen is off or in sleep mode and it worked for me!!! That way will not default back to stock 1300ghz everytime I hit screen off or sleep mode.

Ugh... (oh how I've dreaded making this post, go grab the kleenex or you can just skip the next paragraph and get to the jist)
So my (previously used and "refurbished") myTouch is slowly becoming useless. So I had originally dropped it onto concrete (a month and a half ago) in which I didn't notice any visual/cosmetic damages so I assumed I was fine. However promptly after attempting to open my keyboard I notice my phone would freeze for 5 or seconds before registering the hardware event and rotating screen etc. It eventually began to progress to display weird digital artifacts at random times during use (which would cause annoying lag). Then one faithful day, the 'lag' was getting to excessive while I urgently needed to use my phone so I battery pulled in hopes of rebooting the phone as quickly as possible to use...but just my luck; the phone turned back on but the display didn't (in the sense that I felt the phone vibrate when I initially pressed the power button alongside seeing the small red light in my trackpad light up). So after a stressful day of trying to play with my phone in fastboot/adb I managed to turn my display back on. But now the display failure has progressed to the point of my phone only being usable when they keyboard is pulled out around 2/5 of the way and kept in that position....all other positions render the display useless. This makes it fairly difficult to use the device seeing as it has to be kept in this abnormal position to function.
Jist: I ordered a temporary Galaxy S2 off ebay until my contract ends so that I can switch carriers all together. So I won't really be able dev on this phone like I use to with it being broken. However I'll try to still occasionally update my roms as far as upstream...but any bug fixes at this point sadly won't be able to come from me as debugging on this phone is tedious. But keep in mind I'll still poke my head periodically in this forum and see if my 2 cents is needed anywhere. But don't expect anything more from me then 'upstream updates'.
Good day guys and remember to have a firm grip on your phone at all times.
Update:
First of all I'm quite flattered to all the people who offered up a MT4GS to giveaway, such a generous community we have here :good:
However this will not be necessary as I still have a slightly working MT4GS...the only reason I got a GSII is because it's not functional enough to be my daily driver due to the position it has to be held in to function. Nevertheless I can still develop on the phone (which was why I stated I was planning on updating this rom soon). But I'd like to say thanks again directly to @BaconPancakes and @Ziida and anyone else who may have been planning to offer me a a MT4GS...but it won't be needed.

Please report anything good and bad so that I know what to keep and what not to keep for a final release. This also helps me push out fixes faster when presented with lots of information.
Please wipe cache and dalvik cache
Note: If your S-ON, after flashing the zip you'll see a file called "WildKernel-boot.img" on your sdcard, use that to flash the kernel in fastboot (bootloader) with the following commands:

Could you kindly list the governors this kernel? Also, am i right to say that this kernel contains all the features found in scverhagen's kernel? Thanks in advance.
This kernel is pretty good in performance and behaves better than scverhagen's but wifi isn't working properly.

At times, it wouldn't turn on or the speeds be very slow. Reboot helps though.
But I like the kernel and how it works with option "disable HW overlays" unchecked. And video playbacks aren't glitchy. Also, it gave me about 5fps gain in NenaMark2 gbench.
Update, enjoy (and report feedback)
Thanks for the update!
FPS in NenaMark2 seems to be lower even on max 1.7Ghz. Still testing the kernel.

I was getting around 48 fps on SilverL's and Tbalden's AOKP and CM stock kernels (scverhagen's base I think), now it's less than 42fps on v.004. 43-44fps on v.005.
The test is NenaMark2.
But overall the kernel seems to be smooth and nice.

This is to be expected. These two governors seem to be doing what they're supposed to. They not made for benchmarks. The way mine is currently they have a middle ground frequency which i assume you may be hitting most of the time while this is going.
These 2 governors also take gpu into consideration and adjust their speeds accordingly. If it doesnt need both cpu and gpu to process, the cpu will actively throttle and not stay maxed which possibly results in the fluctuating scores. I get 42 fps on mine...(currently not updated to latest). You probably just ended up running the tests at times where something else was keeping the cpu at a higher frequency.
When I use the performance governor I get 52 but that governor keeps the cpu at the current max frequency (mine being 1080).
OpenGL scores will fluctuate with these governors... its nothing to worry about. I ran the test too, it doesnt seem to be as intensive as any game would be, doesnt require user interaction(something which also drives the cpu frequency throttling in games), so I wouldnt worry about these benchmarks. If you want to benchmark you should really be using performance as the stepping in any other governor will always vary based on load, and this tests puts more load on the gpu allowing the cpu to change frequencies as it sees fit.
Should mention my intellidemand score is 48 and badass is 42.

Thanks for exlaining the things about these governors. But I've noticed that Badass keeps the max frequency only up to 908Mhz even if the load is 100% unlike intellidemand. That's weird. BTW I've tried the 1.7 performance and got only 48 without any background tasks.
i think this is a kernel issue...why does the phone keep resetting the max frequency is 1188?! happens no matter what i do. is it an adaptive governor limitation or something?

set the max freq with an app that is set to restore on boot (SetCPU, CM performance, etc.)
That's what I've been doing. And I even tested by restarting and it'll keep the 1512, then I'll check a bit later and it's back to 1188.
So I switched to kernel tuner thinking that won't have the issue, but I just checked and it switched back to 1188 and I haven't restarted in between.
Within one boot session it shouldn't just reset the frequency. And it's not just adaptive cuz I'm on badass now

Sounds like you may have conflicting bootup settings or init.d settings. I would find a way to clean those up. Id suggest wipiing but no one ever likes doing that.
