What's the best overclock tool to use with the Skyrocket?

I came from the Hercules and I'm currently running Dewizzled 2.5 with Da_G's .42 kernel. If I use system tuner, it has no affect on the cpu... CPU tuner made my phone go into bootloop, and SetCPU makes it restart as soon as I go past 1.62ghz. With my hercules I had no problem running it at 1.89ghz

Hrm thats bizarre on cpu tuner and setcpu... have you tried the .42 with another rom? Also, if your able to use Da_g .42 without any SoD's (sleep of death) then you should really use Da_g .43 as it fixes an init script problem, which is likely why you werent seeing changes with system tuner. Seems alot of people have SoD's with various stock roms on Da_g's post .3 versions... so if you flash another rom and then start having them either flash .3 or change back to your working rom.
.43 Can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20090801&postcount=462
System tuner and setcpu also seem to force the second core online all the time, so its been highly recommended that you use a script to set the o'clock and such. Instructions are here, or if your not too saavy can use twopumpchump's pre-made version which is CWM flashable. (here)

It seems every cpu app I've tried revert the kernel back to it's stock settings. Faux's kernel is 384-1720 (I think) by default. I wish it was 192 as default. Every time I open up system tuner pro, setcpu, fauxclock, rom toolbox pro.....they don't stick. If anyone has a way of making it stick I know I'd appreciate it. Even if I choose set on boot it doesn't.

Thanks I'll flash that and see if it works I have a feeling that it's the mixture of Dewizzled and Da_G lol and I love TDJ's Darkside kernel but right now it's only available for the Hercules so it'll cause the screen orientation issue. Hopefully he'll make a port for the Skyrocket

I had the same problem but on coke rom with faux.. So I flashed the giedion script.. And now it seem to hold and go now deep sleep, and check it out in the faux kernel section in the development section.

I flashed faux's kernel and used system tuner but it still wouldn't stick until I rebooted... I have minimum set to 192mhz and screen off at 192 as well but in CPU Spy I only see 1728, 540 and Deep Sleep

How many overclock apps do you have on you phone at one time? And yes after you've made CPU adjustments click set on boot and reboot

1 at I time. I uninstall if it doesn't work before installing the next. i've had my phone with screen off for a while now and it seems that 75% it's staying at 540mhz, barely at deep sleep and rest at 1728mhz

I actually underclock my processor. To about 1ghz . As for your deep sleep issue I can't actually say cause I've never had the issue but look around the skyrocket threads. There's a lot of info on it.

i like nofrills

I use android overclock works fine on Da_G's kernel

Use faux clock for a faux version kernel. With any other kernel I have had great results with set CPU.

[Q] CPU Settings

I'm on Venom Ss and using the default kernel for the ROM, but after setting the maximum at 1.026mhz and minimum at 702mhz, the settings don't stick, changing to 384mhz maximum and minimum constantly. How do I make the settings stick? I have done a full wipe. Thanks in advance!

Sense 4 roms sometimes does that bug, it happened to me with ordroid after I installed it with a full wipe it became normal something makes your CPU rise and if you don't know what it is your only chance is full wipe

Try with system tuner maybe? There are various option how to set the frequencies (via script or normally)

So far the settings on system tuner aren't sticking either. How do I use scripts? Thanks a lot!

but 1 hour later is gone back to the default setting (1566mhz) .
then i installt system tuner and let him on 1400mhz , 1 your later the setting is again on default by 1566 ???

[Q] Issue: Screen don't want to go sleep

Hi everyone,
I have weird issue, screen don't want to go into sleep mode.
I tried to change settings: 15s, 30s, 45s. Still the same.
After reboot it work correctly but only few hours.
I don't want flash my rom again becouse I've set everything after yesterday flash. :crying:
My configuration:
Android Revolution HD 6.7.2
CPU OC 1782 MHz
GPU - 320 MHz
Kernel SebastianFM 1.5.2
Installed extensions:
Adreno Drivers 2.18
ics_small_89-fronts
(6.7.x_XE)battery_fix(norecent,eqs2,4gicons)
Ultra smooth Rosie
JellyBean Animations
Any idea what should I do, guys ?

You likely have a application that's preventing your device from sleeping. Check permissions on your applications and you will find the culprit. Best wishes.also when installing apps look at what the developers say in certain apps it will clearly state PREVENT Device from sleeping. Hope this helps.

You can use "Battery use" to see which app is using your battery. Try killing the apps that are running, until you find which is causing it.

I've formated SD (long format) and flashed rom again, .
I try to use clean rom few hours and check if the issue is still.
Just install DualCore-rc8
BTW. Do u thing OC can do this problem ?
My phone worked stable on maximum CPU frequency - 1832 MHz and 320 MHz GPU

I don't think OC can cause this problem but then I think 1832Mhz is way too high and may cause instability to your phone, try to tune it down. In fact there won't be a significant performance improvement even if you OC it so high. Not worth frying your phone's CPU for that insignificant gain.

It's a application like I said that's preventing your device from sleeping! Find that app and your issue will be resolved.

I work now on clean rom with just OC apps. All day everything was OK.
Tomorrow I try to install "DarkForest Tweaks 3.33 Base RC 3.0.1" again and I will see then becouse I think it could couse a problem.
Thanks mates :good:

If only you had mentioned you had installed that in the OP...
Or better still, read the last 2-3 pages of my thread, its all there.
I think its my modded messages.apk and I posted a stock unmodded one (actually when I say stock, that is a lie because it is the apk from my ROM and as such has gone through 3-4 apk optimization scripts) in the last 1-2 pages in the thread which seems to have fixed this

Getting CPU settings to stick

I have been unsuccessful on being able to get CPU settings to stick. I am on clean kernel and its overclockabke up to 1.9, and the low side can be under clocked to 192, with default being 384.
I personally want mine to stick at 192 low and 1728 high...and it does for maybe 5 minutes, then its back to the CPU wide open at 1.9 and low 384.
What can I do to get my settings to stick? I have set on boot checked.

most early kernels were made to run at the creators best stable overclock. i would use a newer kernel that might have more inherent flexibility such as the new beastmode v4 or ElementalX which might allow you to get a stable overclock at frequencies lower then max.

Negative on Beastmode v4. I'm still trying to figure out how to flash that kernel.
In the mean time, I've flashed ElementalX v1.14. So far, settings have stuck, and I'm using kernel tuner.

No frills CPU app works very well for me. Kernel tuner was unable to keep my settings where i wanted them.

All the other developers who contribute to the D2 kernel upstream

Changlog 9/27/14
1.)Kernel updated to linux upstream version 3.4.104 straight from kernel.org and to B14CKB1RD v2.3
2.) Added Fast Charge support
3.) Added Optimax Governor and removed unneccesary ones
4.) Did various other fixes in source

As usual my personal preference is Wheatley Governor and SIO I/O scheduler as i get great performance and battery life with it

Awesome!! Thanks for your work. Great battery and performance with this kernel in liquid, carbon and omni! Thanks for do it

Which one do I need for cm11, is it TeamApexQ Roms ?
Can you rename the files to see a difference ?

I can't vouch for which one cm11 will use as its kernel varies between both...what happens is between my ROMs and omni/fat toad is graphical tearing...if one of these 2 causes this said tearing then try the other...I'd say try using TeamApexQ version first...

Notice reboots typically occur when accessing data (Internet) but not only Wi-Fi. No games, just Googling something. Also, using no themes. Did use trickster mod to set up your recommendation of sio/Wheatley, but that's it.

That's most likely the reason you get reboots...trickstermod is a known issue on a few devices....you can actually set governer and i/o scheduler under performance settings itself....unfortunately there no known fix even if you uninstalled the app except for clean wiping....I do not use any tweaking apps and have yet to get any reboots

I also have trickster mod along with pimp my rom, and a few others. I have also experienced some reboots until I put min at 1350 and max at 1512 and performance gov and io scheduler row. To do a "clean wipe" does this mean a full factory reset. I hope not. That is just something I am not going to do. That's why I'm still on carbon and not on the liquid rom.

i suppose a uninstall of trickster mod AND pimp my rom and a dalvik wipe and cache wipe then do a dirty flash of rom and then do the kernel same method will work...but curious as to why use outdated and unsupported apps like this when it has it built into the rom itself....im not intending to come off negative but this app and kernel tuner has been widely known since jellybean to cause reboots and even bricks of some devices. the min cpu should also NEVER be set higher than 480....thats one way to really overheat and kill battery hence why i removed the mpdec touchboost that teamapexq uses

I'd love to add some (or all) of the governors and schedulers to the stock kernel (4.1.2). Do you have a github for the source? It would be super appreciated.

Interesting perspective. I've rooted and run many custom ROMs and kernels on a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, HTC One m7, and Nexus 5 with Trickster Mod and have never seen that app cause random reboots if the kernel parameters are set within reason (no UV or OC). Maybe I've just been lucky, but that would be very, very lucky as that lack of reboots applies to every ROM and every kernel combination with every single device I've tried over a few years. Even though I'm selective as to what I flash, that's in the hundreds as I can flash several times a day. And all with Trickster Mod on board.
The Relay 4G just seems unduly fragile to me. I've seen it reboot more times in a week than the other devices I mentioned randomly reboot in a year. I'm certainly not blaming any dev for this (and am thankful for all the efforts put here) and want to acknowledge just how difficult it must be to squeeze these great ROMs into a device that probably wasn't designed to handle them. Again, no disrespect to the OP.

Well nexus devices are built pretty vanilla when it comes to android so its compatibility outreaches more....I've had reboots on every Motorola and HTC devices I've owned....I know for me I haven't had a reboot but I guess I'm lucky....but it could just be small incompatibilities in our code that may cause this and we just haven't found them or figured it out yet
