Hey everyone, there is an overclocking app in the market, anyone care to give it a try?
Edit: So I downloaded it lol. Here are some screenshots. BTW, is there anyway I can verify that the cpu freq is actually being adjusted?
*Just for fun I ran neocore to see if it would raise my FPS. lol.
just notice the difference in speed. If you notice please post. And its not overclocking its just clocking. Overclocking will be beyond 528 MHz

The app is called Overclock, you can argue with the developer about the name not me.
Anyways, I do notice a very nice speed increase.
For example, atrackdog would take me at least 20-30 seconds to load my full app list (184 apps)
After installing overclock, it loaded in under 5 seconds.
i'll run other programs, and post my results.
I ran droidgear (game gear emulator) before and after, and I can honestly say it was faster (not a placebo affect).
-Before: droidgear would take over 4 minutes just to get to the menu screen
-After: i was actually able to load a game in under 1 and a half minutes, I even let it sit to run the demo, and it is the fastest ive ever seen an emulator run on this device (compared to NesEmu, and GB emu)
It would probably actually be playable if tweaks were made to the application codebase, and android Open GL stack.
Also, the camera loads instantly after pressing the camera button and via the icon in the home screen.
well, i was too, and then i downloaded it and said "aahh, what the hell, if i break mine, ill just take my wifes haha..." probably not the best of plans but i installed it anyway
sooo i havnt burnt up my phone yet, but here is my issue with the app, does the app only work untill you reboot your phone?
because when i reboot my phone, it goes back to the default speed according to the app
also, my phone tends to hang up (stuck on the apps screen, no buttons work, screen wont rotate, power button wont shut screen off) when using the 528MHz
so far, i havnt found a reason to pay a dollar for it, but ill keep testing
[UPDATE]
resolution for all below tests is 320 x 480
i tried neocore like posted above, using the mid level setting, and i actually did raise my fps from
DEFAULT CPU (248 MHz): 20.5 (with sound off)
384 MHz: 25.0! (with sound off)
DEFAULT CPU (248 MHz): 14.5 (with sound on)
384 MHz: 20.8 (with sound on)
still havnt gotten the fast speed to work yet, but im still trying to figure that out, on another note, sweeter home does seem to load a little faster
[UPDATE]
Incase you didnt see my sig, im not running on a ADP1 phone, so that might by why the fastest setting doesnt work for me, but so far 384MHz is making a noticeable difference with NEOCORE and SWEETER HOME

i use snap photo, which used to take FOREVER to load up on my g1 using the camera button, its significantly faster using the 384MHz setting, good observation
Ok, so so far here is a list of things ive noticed (using 384MHz vs 248MHz):
-FPS in NEOCORE increased on adverage 5 to 6 fps
-Sweeter Home doesnt lag NEARLY as much as it used to (ALOT less force closes)
-Snap Photo doesnt take a month to load using the camera button
-G1 Wakes up properly which was a issue my g1 (and others on this forum) had
-Even though the app says it will "kill" the battery, using 384MHz during normal use of the phone isnt "killing" my battery, however, doom (while runs better (even with sound on)) seems to be dropping my battery level faster, but the game is running faster, which is the trade off id expect when running these apps together
At this point is there really a need? My phone doesnt lag that much that I need to over clock not to mention my battery life sucks already.

all of our battery life sucks unless you have the extended battery, im not getting THAT big of a battery drain according to the system monitor app, and it DOES make a difference on g1's that have lag issues (running tons of apps like i do)
in other threads, people have complained about the g1 not waking up quickly sometimes, ive yet to have that issue since ive clocked mine up to the 384MHz setting
@woot, you do know that the default cpu freq on the G1 is ~384mHz. So you might want to change in your sig that you're overclocked to 384mHz lol.
The program installs a script on your sd card called ocx_tmp.sh and adjusts it that way, it'll write to /system as -rw (from what I've discussed with someone) would probably cause instability.
The program will reset the cpu freq back down to 384mHz after the phone sleeps. You can verify this in terminal emulator by typing:
$su
#cat /proc/cpuinfo
Try it before and after setting the cpu freq in overclock and you'll see what I mean =)
I thought the the CPU ran at 528 MHz by default? Or is it clocked dynamically and this forces it?

im not as familiar with clocking/overclocking so i wasnt sure if i was clocking it to 384, overclocking it to 384, or what, so what would be the proper thing to put in my sig? lol because according to my first quote, true overclocking wouldnt be untill i went beyond 528, so from the view of my first quote, im not OVERclocking, im clocking, wheras your saying im overclocked

so is it infact the program thats changing the cpu freq or is it the phone? if its the program, is this to avoid overworking the cpu without the demand?

I remember reading somewhere by someone that it runs at 384 by default, and I think the post above confirms that...

no, it runs at 384 by default, and clocks down even lower in the idle loop.
i am curious how this program works, as the normal cpufreq interfaces are not compiled in the kernel.
i've been running my phone for several months now at 528mhz, at a fairly minimal detriment to battery life.
i did however notice that without modifying the idle loop, the amount of cpu frequency switches even while the phone is not sleeping drops your average clock within a 10 second period to somewhere closer to 400mhz.
after modifying the idle loop to not switch frequency so often, i was able to get 27.4fps out of neocore w/o sound, and 22.7fps w/ sound.
my overall caffeine benchmark score was 582.
battery life impact is there, but fairly small. phone lasts for about a day and a half now where it used to last for sometimes 2. under heavy use, this is of course dramatically reduced.
gui fluidity is definitely increased, and sluggishness between app switches and when the translucent app drawer opens up is gone. i like it, but to the average person there probably is no need to do it.
keep in mind this is also not overclocking the cpu, it's clocking it to its default spec. as it is an embedded arm, it is designed to run hot, so i guarantee you are in no danger of hurting your phone.
also, do not listen to people that claim there could be no gain from overclocking, just because the bus speed is slower than the cpu speed does NOT mean there will be no improvement in system performance. if that were the case, there'd be no use for 4ghz desktop processors.
cache still runs full speed, and common execution paths stay in cache meaning no prefetch from system memory, meaning BIG improvement in many cases. (that's why cache exists.)

gui fluidity and responsiveness is greatly improved. sluggishness if app switching and the translucent app drawer are completely gone.
for many i imagine this means there isn't really any reason to clock the cpu up to its stock speed, but to each their own.

care to write up a how-to for getting the 582 consistantly and changing the idle loop?
Holy crap. Used this @528MHz with Haykuro's version 4.5 apps to sd ROM and the osk works SO MUCH BETTER!!!! Also I got 25.6 fps on neocore... very smooth

writeup? no. it's a big process involving the android dev environment, a modified version of mkbootimg and unyaffs.
i will gladly post the kernel modifications for those who want to recompile the kernel to do so.
the bootloader sets the clock speed, and the idle loop simply clocks down to a preset and back up to whatever it was previously after x milliseconds of inactivity (not to be confused with sleep) it's kind of a poor man's cpufreq arbitrator.
so on top of tweaking the idle loop to not drop down as often, you also have to explicitly set the frequency in the kernel upon bootup, or it will bet set at what it thinks is full speed, which is 384.
A modded version of JF's ROM would ROM.
I DO notice the sluggishness and it bugs the heck out of me. (I switched from a WING with a 200MHz CPU, and although it IS faster than the wing, it doesn't seem significantly faster and seems to much slower when I open up the camera...

that involved eh?
thanks for this post though, now i understand more about the idle loop and why the cpu freq resets with each reboot
maybe someone can take this stuff further like he said, that kind of stuff would be worth the dollar, imo more than a dollar
well... i don't mind providing basic procedure and source, i just don't want to get dragged into level 1 support of the procedure.
i'll go ahead and package up some source, prebuilt boot images based on JF's RC33 (which is what i run) and a basic procedure.
Subject says it all, 200MHZ sometimes doesn't cut in, if we need the speed, what is the best app out there ?
Thanks in advance
Found the solution...
Thanks for looking at the thread ... It was shinny isn't it.

Alright, let me save your time. Just search for Omapclockkeep, you'll clear your old taboo.
Just for the information, i have happily cruised my VIVA's CPU at 250MHZ, battery life is ok, not much affected.
Battery lasts 2 days with occasional WIFI plus Bluetooth.

I am using Omap keep cause you can keep the default speed at ideal and as soon as you start using it, you can set the speed like 250 and gain the extra performance through overclocking...
I'm using Homescreen++, which has a great overclock utility called CPU Scaler. It dynamically overclocks the CPU when the phone actually requires it, therefore saving lots of battery life. It also reduces the speed when it's idle to save even more. You just give it a min, max and boost value(when apps are really demanding) and it does the rest. It also monitors power consumption(maH, mW) and CPU temp. Good stuff.

i heard that the huawei p9 has their unique overheat protection feature which if the phone gets hot the phone will lower its performance level. is there any way to disable this, my phone gets slow even if its not that hot. i cant play games for too long because it lags after a few mins of playing. i hope huawei makes this feature optional

Its not a unique feature of the P9, all the CPUs (meaning Desktops computers, Laptops computers, Phones, Tablets, etc.) and also all GPUs (Nvidia cards, AMD cards, MALI, Rouge, etc.), but in general all electronic components will lower their performance if they get too hot. This is called "Thermal Throttling". All components have a maximum working temperature, if you get close to that temperature you might experience glitches or artifacts, nothing permanent, but if you get past the Maximum temperature, you will experience heavy glitching and artifacting, crashes and heavy instability of the system, causing permanent damage too.
So to answer your question, no, you cannot disable the overheating safety feature, and there will also won't be an implementation of a switch for this feature, simply because it would kill your device.
The only solution is to better cool the phone, or reduce the heat, the first is not really a great solution, the second one would require downvolting/downclocking both the CPU and GPU, both of which require a Custom Kernel. As of right now, there are none, so you are stuck the way you are.

thank you for your response, but my p9 antutu benchmark score is 99k to 65k real quick when performing the 2nd try. isnt that too much? btw when i downclock my phone does it reduce the overheating but still give the same performance?

Yes, that is a huge drop, but mine behaves similarly. When you downclock your phone you reduce the clock of the processor, which means it needs less electricity to work, which also means that it generates less heat. But reducing the clock of the processor means reducing its performance too, so no, it wouldn't keep the same performance.

I have noticed the Xiaomi Mix has some persistent software thermal throttling after a short period of time.
I ran the same test on a OnePlus 3T and noticed this throttling issue is not present.
It's possible the temps to start throttling are too low on the Mix.
Is there any way to modify or increase these throttle limits?
I know this has been done before but I cannot load the Thermal conf file in /system/ etc / thermal-engine.conf
Can we replace the file with something else ?
The OnePlus forum members released several versions of the file with different throttling temps. Can we use these files or make our own.
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus2-how-to-fix-thermal-throttling.417108/
Did you ever get any further with this? My phone idles at ~35C. I read a review that said throttling begins at ~40C so I get throttled when I do virtually anything.
I've only had this thing 2 days and the performance has been worse than my old Nexus 6 because the cores keep getting capped very low. I was copying some backed up files over WiFi from my PC. It was lots of small files so it was running for 20 mins or so. When I was trying to do other stuff in the meantime it started to get really sluggish. I used to do exactly the same thing on my N6 and I could never tell that file copying was running in the background. I checked Kernel Auditor and it was showing temps ~50C and the cores were all being capped around 5-600MHz.
I've tried the stock ROM (stable and beta) and EPIC, and Lineage/RR. It seems to be a bit worse on the latter two (Antutu won't go above 100k, but it's like 140k on the MIUI ones) for some reason, but it's an issue on all of them.

I have absolutely gotten further here I have managed to get throttling completely disabled actually.
The highest temp the CPU got to was 42 degrees Celsius after running Dolphin for 2 hours straight.
There is no need for thermal throttling on this device at all, hardware does a good enough job clearing the heat.
To stop the thermal throttling you need root access.
Use ES File Explorer from the play store and enable root access
Navigate to root and look for Folder system/etc and find file called thermal*******.*** ( I don't remember what it's called )
Cut this file from this location and paste it into another directory. I moved it to the sdcard for easy access. This way you can move it back if you do not like the results.
I have not experienced any overheating with this, also the battery doesn't drain like crazy. Performance is greatly improved with speed matching the Snapdragon 835 in a few scenarios.
Oh yeah restart the phone after you move the file so it can register the changes. Clock the cores appropriately with Kernal Auditor to make sure it can run at full blast when it needs to. On demand is way faster than interactive.
Cheers. I actually read the links you posted and renamed the conf file. After a reboot it was flying. The problem isn't so much the throttling, it's that mine idles at ~35C already, so it was getting capped when I did virtually anything. If I run Antutu 2-3 times in a row and check the temps in Kernel Auditor it can be in the low 60s. Using other temp apps (CPUTemp) it only shows about 45C tops.
It definitely does feel pretty damn warm since I don't use a case. but I'd love to know what the 'real' temp was. I tend to believe the lower one since I got the 45C warning when using EPIC and that's exactly what the app said. it was.
My Antutu scores increased substantially too. I was sometimes dipping down to 80-90k but I regularly get ~140k now, even 160k once. I know not to go by those scores but when I could never even get above 100k it was a concern.

Yeah I'm thinking Xiaomi severely limits the thermal threshold to improve battery performance.
It's kinda all they care about in Japan for some reason.
Makes for some great performance improvements without the thermal settings being active.
This setting change is almost necessary of you need some heavy work done.
Glad you were able to get this changed.

I think our best solution would be a modified .conf file that increases the thermal threshold as opposed to completely removing it.
Until this solution is available then this is our only choice.
i agree... i think with a ROM kitchen mayve this fil can be readable... anyway @ this point, we can only hope somebody dectypt this file to support various cool modification available over XDA...

I had the same issue. I was getting 165k+ in Antutu but the phone would get uncomfortably warm when doing multiple passes, or gaming for extended periods.
In the Thermal section of Kernel Auditor, I enabled the Core Control and Temperature Throttle options and the phone still gets warm, but only as warm as you'd expect. I still get ~155k in Antutu consistently and the performance in general is still very smooth. I have the CPU governor set to ondemand, and the GPU governor to simple_ondemand. All other KA settings are default.
One other thing I always do is to reduce the Window Animation, Transition Animation and Animator duration scales to .5x (1x by default). It just makes the phone feel snappier in general. Settings > Additional settings > Developer options (MIUI-based).
I'm using the latest EPIC ROM. Using RR/LOS I couldn't replicate the same high Antutu scores consistently for some reason. I quite like MIUI after years of using CM and CM-like ROMS anyway.
already reduce animation x0.5... MIUI use a lot of this animation with complex and (very long calcul) then reduce this number make device seems much faster... anyway, u right...
A custom kernel for miui base... based on Dragon XIA exist in MI5 thread... only need to play a bit to make universal... with all source we can make somthing, but no have time to play with all tutorial available on XDA or Youtube...
Only way to make device much smoother and battery friendly or Perf/Warm destructor...

It might help to lower the CPU speed, but you need access to root and an app to tweak the values.
Avoid gaming which is very demanding on GPU and avoid gaming for long periods of time.
Search also in the Snapdragon forum a good kernel.
Also turn off the fast charging, this can heat too much the phone.
I created a script here. It works very good, it monitors the battery temperature AND all the CPU cores temperatures, and will automatically throttle the phone if temps are too high. You can even kill some apps if the temps are to high (not yet implemented).
The difference with Samsung DVFS or integrated temperature management of kernels is that this one monitors almost all CPU sensors and also the battery, all in complete combination, and it can be easily tweaked (rather than modding a kernel). No battery hog. You can enable USB fast charge, game, etc it will still prevent overheating.
