Overclocking

Hey guys will overclocking drain the battery quicker even with stock voltages?

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.

Harrb, great post.

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

SetCPU

Anyone here use SetCPU with their device? Notice a big difference?
Care to share your configurations as well?

What kernel are you using?? if you use faux123's kernel than he has fuax clock specially made for his kernel.

Romracer

Unless u wanna uc you don't need that CPU app. I used system tuner.

if using the Original Romracer kernel....there is no over clocking or undervolting. so the only thing you can really change is the scaling.
so if you want speed, set it to preformance which will force both cpus on line AT ALL TIMES. but will drain the batter faster other than that. there is not much you can do with a stock kernel. which is what romracers kernel is.

Hi,
I'm on TPC V3 with Da_G 0.43 Kernel.
I've one profile in SetCpu which is "screen off: max 192 min 192 with smartassv2 governor". I'm a light user and my record is fifty hours with a battery life.
I can't say if SetCPU has a lot to do with this but the smartassv2 governor helped a lot for sure.

I am rooted with the stock ROM and find that setcpu makes my phone lag more with Faux Kernel. When I delete the app, everything runs much more smoothly.

Try using FauxClock with his kernel, it's an app designed for his kernel specifically, and works great.
I'm at 1.2GHz (battery life) with a 87.5mV underclock on all steps, runs like a bauss.
I will admit, Da_G's kernel is miles ahead when it comes to performance, but it SoD's way too much on my phone, unfortunately.

[Q] G2X Kernel Recommendation

I'm looking for a kernel that will let me overclock and also undervolt. And I want to be able to set profiles, so I'd like to be able to select my low-power profile (undervolt, 1GHz) and, say, a performance profile (normal volts, 1.2GHz).
Any suggestions?

Terrible! We need more info, I see in your signature you are running cm nightly 225! Not everyone is on the actual site. you have 2 choices Faux or Morfic pick one try it out.

+1 you have to try them out all phones aren't created equally and aren't as stable. use pimp my cpu to set those profiles, its free on xda

I only want to try out the ones that meet my requirements.
I'm already using SetCPU.

trinity and morfic will and has set cpu been updated to do undervolting profiles?

Just installed Trinity ELP. SetCPU crashed with that kernel so I bought Pimp My CPU.
1.1GHz isn't quite enough for me for some HD videos.

[Q] Fallout v5.0

Best Fallout Tweaks OC settings ?

It depends a lot on usage and requirements. I personally was using savagedzen @ 245-1200 awake and conservative @245-768 for sleep, noop scheduler.
Sent from my Desire S using xda app-developers app

I like lulzactive @ 245-1200mhz no governor change while in sleep mode. SIO I/O scheduler.
Sent from my HTC Desire S

Awake smartassV2 245 to 1305
Asleep smartassV2 245 to 368
noop scheduler
UV -100
These are very much device and user specific settings as previously stated suiting individual usage
I would suggest that there is no best settings simply what you're personally happy with
Sywepd form my DsereiS

It is not harmful for desire S to work on a different frequency then stock frequence?

is it support usb host in this kernel?

Tweaked kernel should support it!

No USB host support sorry. There is a specific driver that is not included in Kernel 3 and the attempt to port it from GB was not successful. If HTC release and update with such support for One V (primo) as they did for One X I will probably manage to include it *when the kernel sources are out*
Too much "if" but the time will tell...

Which is the best for battery life?
Sent from my HTC Desire S

I'm also searching for the best settings... best relation between perfomance and battery life.
Maybe you can help finding the best settings.

Safe undervolting? What's your settings?

What undervolting have people got set with what set up that's still safe and stable... How low can you actually go on the nexus 5?
For example... I'm currently...
Rom: stock with some apps removed
Runtime: ART
User style: just phone and Internet browsing, no games really ever
Kernel: linaro version of franco's
Kernel Settings: stock min and max frequency - 61 vibration amp setting.
Undervolt: - 50 across the board

All undervolting is safe. Just not necessarily stable. Varies for everyone (and evey CPU is different) so not sure this thread will help you.

-50 is the best I can get without the phone freezing and rebooting.

I run at 975mV 2.2GHz, that's PVS3. Think that's pretty good.
