SetCPU and overclocking

Since SetCPU was updated today to support the tegra II chip, I thought I would just give you all a heads up. Hope to see some kernels compiled with overclocking slots soon.

Cant you overclock by hand without that?

There are a few other apps and methods to overclock. The newest version of setcpu is able to see the slots in clemsyn's kernel, but they don't exceed 1ghz.

Looks like the xoom is already OCd to 1.5. Can't wait to see some kernels for us too

Wrong section.
At any rate, I'm sure once coolbho3000 puts his overclock code in github, the kernel devs around here may be able to get these puppies overclocked as well. The difference being that the Xoom as a .36 based kernel as where we are still running .32 based kernels, so there is just as much chance that it doesn't port.
When posting, think of the content and context. This thread is about an app. But this section is for Guides, Kernels, and ROMs to be released. I know this section is where most folks spend most or all of their timing reading/posting, but there are 4 sections for a reason, to keep content organized and relevant. Let's help the mods do that by posting in the appropriate section.

Am I missing something? Isn't this in the general section?
Why do there seem to be so many self imposed forum police these days? Seems like half the posts I see are people *****ing at the op

There is a big difference between 36 and 32. Honestly, I only assume this from looking at the latest 38 rc commits and comparing the two. But it seems to be significant, even in its comments and verbosity. What's missing is cpu-tegra.c or the cpufreq driver for tegra written by Colin Cross (android dev) - instead we have NVIDIA's cryptic cpufreq.c .. I can barely understand what's going on with most code.. but it seems like our kernel version is from a time where NVIDIA's code was still being sorted thru by the aforementioned Google dev.

I have setcpu installed however I cant change the governor

Because we are supposed to self police ourselves otherwise the mods just close our forum.

Yes and so can I. I can also set the governor with a script or manually. They kernel for the GTab has 2 settings....performance and powersave... and as far as I know setcpu doesnt support the .32 kernel that GTab has. It does support the .36 kernel that the xoom has.

I (one of the two mods) moved this into the General section where it should be. It had been in the Development section which wasn't the right place.
And thebadfrog is correct - we (as a community) benefit when everyone helps everyone out - including making sure posts are created in the right spot, and aren't just another variation on a question that might have been asked 15,245,332 times before.

I apologise for posting in development. I wasn't even paying attention. Thank your for moving the thread for me.

You need a kernel that supports overclocking and the GTab doesnt have one yet

wondering if the xoom setcpu profile would jive w/ our tablets?

The gtbalet's benchmark is around 2,500. The overclocked Xoom got 2850. Standard Xoom @ 1Ghz got 2,150.
Am I missing something???? If the gtablet could be OC'd that would be huge.

The profiles won't until the AOSP frequency scaling is imported into the kernel sources - and that's not an easy process. Then the kernel will have to be compiled, etc.
Yes - it'd be nice to be OC'd - but battery life would be affected. It's a tradeoff in many ways....

On my OG Droid I like being able to drop the speed for battery savings when the screen is off if it's not in use. So there's more in it than just big numbers.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I want to flash the lordmod kernel with the -50 undervolt but whenever I don't use the stock kernel on miui my camera doesn't work or my wireless tethering goes out. Is there any way I could get this kernel and have both work? Also how much can you undervolt MIUI without it causing any problems?
Heres the link for lordmod kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020637
Also what is the difference between BFQhs and VIO

I don't know about MIUI, but on CM7 I just tried flashing it on a stable version and got those problem. Later found out that it was for the nightlies. Maybe there is a older version of lordmod that will work for you?

Why not go into the threads of the rom/kernel in question and see if perhaps this problem has already been encountered? It may be faster and provide solutions tailored to your needs.
I doubt you're the first person to have run into issues like this.

Agreed. There's a recent thread here in the general forum,where someone explained that all phones handle things differently so even if someone tells you what they undervolted to on miui,it mite not work for you. Best bet is to play around with different settings to see what's gives you the best results

Constant reboots when overclocking

I'm currently running CM10 Nightly + Air Kernel r211
and I've been trying to overclock my NS for a while now with NS Tools but I keep getting reboots.
I've tried 1200mhz with SmartassV2, Ondemandx, Ondemand, Intellidemand. With vr, noop or deadline schedulers...
Nothing seems to work.
I can't seem to find any guide on how to properly tweak the voltages without damaging my phone?
Any help appreciated.

Surprise! Overclocking can lead to instabilities. Read on overclocking as a whole, and overclocking on Android phones to understand the concept and why you are getting these results. Overclocking isn't a warranty you'll be able to get a higher frequency, all phones are different and someone phone might be able to overclock a lot while another one not at all.

I'm going to try Marmite 4.7 kernel (seems to be more stable with 1.2 OCing). Will report back.

Actually very helpful. Do your research. There's no magic to overclocking, one settings aren't useful for someone else, if only as a starting base. Trial and error until you find something stable.
Once again, all information can be found using the magical search function and your old pal Google.
Edit: Also as a free candy, governor has jack s#%! to do with overclocking.

You're not the judge of saying if your ****ty condescending replies are actually helpful to me or the community.
I am telling you that you are not being helpful by acting obnoxious and telling me to do my research when that's what I have been doing for the past 2 weeks.
Please stop posting unless you are going to be actually helpful.
ANYWAY,
I have just updated to latest CM10 nightly and flashed Marmite 4.7V. OC'd to 1.2Ghz without touching any voltages. So far so good! Opened a few apps and played around a couple of games. No reboots yet!
I can say that Air Kernel is pretty unstable with any OCing. On my phone (i9020A) anyway.
Hopefully this thread will help anyone else searching for OC stability with custom kernels.
I will keep updating if I encounter any problems.

Update:
I am experiencing much better performance! Real happy with how smooth Marmite is, and very stable with 1.2Ghz.
Absolutely no lag, no failure for launcher/drawer. Games run smoother. Chrome browser is actually faster.
I am using SmartAssV2 Governor with Deadline scheduler.

So for the past 2 weeks you have been researching but did not know governor had nothing to do with overclocking, or haven't found good voltages to start with?
You run a nightly to test overclocking?
You my friend, are not only a moron, but you have done a very sad attempt at stepping on someone's head to excuse your indolence. These forums are chockful of information regarding overclocking and there's quite a few posts with NEARLY global voltages for the Nexus S phone, both INT and ARM. They do not guarantee you a stable overclock but offer you a good base to start with. Taking a few minutes of your time you could also go and check the sources of the many kernels that offer/offered overclocking (Matr1x, AIR, Marmite, iNK, Trinity etc etc) to see what voltages they have set for different steps, once again to give you a good eyeball figure.
Do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut if you're only going to spew garbage. Have fun with your one click software.

Actually, he was pretty helpful. Why you have to dog on him for an answer that's spread all over the internet is beyond me. Threads like these do nothing for anyone when there are already boat loads of answers spread all over the internet. Plus, it took you all of two hours to try a different, much more stable kernel to solve your problem.
Edit- I got beat to reply. Either way, my response still holds merit in my eyes.

Nope not helpful at all. The answer is not spread all over the internet or these forums, as I've been trying to search for them for weeks now. Both of you are hilarious morons. You keep showing off and acting all 'know-it-all' but none of you have actually linked to any helpful source/thread explaining or describing the things you're bragging about.
Telling people to 'search' around and stop posting threads doesn't help the community. I posted the thread about something that I was not able to find an answer to by searching in the forums or on Google.
Now instead of arguing like a bunch of idiotic 5 year olds, I challenge you to link me to a thread that clearly explains custom voltage tweaks or a guide that has instructions on how to properly overclock the Nexus S.
Also, having "PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF I WAS HELPFUL" in your signature is absolutely pathetic. Grow the f' up.

Kernel focused on battery duration, which one?

Hi there, despite this topic I'll like to know users experiences with kernel on the Nexus5 since I'm looking for one based on battery duration. See I tested n3oHammer, franco and ElementalX from this three the best was n3oHammer but in recent Cyanogenmod updates it stop working so I'll need to change since Cyanogenmod kernel drain battery to fast, any advice? Any configuration on any kernel to get this battery duration?

In my personal opinion I would run Chaos Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551441
Comes with NXT app to tweak it. You could easily change the clock, voltage, governor, and other things in combination with screen brightness, Gravity Box's smart radio and a few other things to achieve maximum battery life. I am not a fan of CM never was never will be.
I personally could care less about battery life as long as I get through the day doing what I need to do when I need to do it. I don't do all the little things to prolong battery life. If I made it through the day and had 50% left well I would have to charge it because the next day it would die and who knows if I would use it more or less.

So you admit that you know these threads aren't allowed yet you post it anyways? That's going to go over well.

OP, as you know these threads are prohibited and will be closed. Best advice I can give you is try a few out and see which best suits your needs. Battery life depends greatly on which apps you run and your overall usage, both of which vary per user.

[Q] Performance control in UltimaAOSP 4.4.2

Hello there. This is my first time joining this forum. Alright now back to the question, I been using UltimaAOSP 4.4.2 ROM for quite sometime now. It is really an amazing ROM! There's only one problem, I have no idea how to use the performance control that was built in the ROM. Anyone can help me how use to it and which is the best settings for performance or good battery life? Thanks. . Not to mention that, it's my first time I rooted my phone.

Hi!
You should have put this in the relevant section for the forum belonging to the phone you have...
At the very least, I suggest changing the CPU govenor and IO schedulers. You can Google about them and find out which is more suitable to your needs. But ZZMove (if you're on the i9300) and row are good options (again, googling will reveal more about these).
But, remake your thread in the proper section for your phone. More people will answer then. I found this by accident via Google.
