overclock widget

worked great for a while then kept force closeing anyone haveing problems??

It seems to be working fine for me. One thing is that when I set the clock to 128 or something, the status displayed on the widget still shows 527. The performance is significantly slowed so I assume it's doing it's job.
Overall I think it's a nice little widget. Great for maxing out performance, and maxing battery life by limiting performance.
Phone:
Black G1
JF 1.51

Yup...me too
I will make the change but it sometimes does not refresh the gui. It will also not work if you reboot. (if i remember correctly) also tons of force closes. I am on 6.01 and have tried JF1.5 and am curently on HERO but have not had success with the widgets on the build yet so I dont have a confirmation.

Could someone post the previous version of this app please? The updated version on the market shows "problem loading gadget" on the Hero rom when you add it to the screen..previous versions worked without any problems. Thanks in advance.
edit: nm..fixed it..just had to run the odex optimization script and all is good again

just use SETCPU from market...its more stable thank open overclock......at least it doesnt unclock back to 384mhz

what is a good configeration for over clock..i dotn want to mess up my phone??

I was thinking the same and should I have it on always max. Or what?

I've got mine set to 128Mhz min and 527Mhz max, it has drastically increased my battery life. Batter life barely drops 1% overnight.

Anyone have the Version before the 1.7 update. The new update doesnt seem to work on hero w/ Rosie.

You can grab the 1.6 apk from the Dev's Google Site (check the Files section).
1.7 doesn't work with Ion for me either

Did setcpu support choosing a different freq. when the screen is off? Setting that to 128 - 245 has helped my battery greatly. One question for anyone using OC apps, does your phones at any time run at a lower freq than what's specified as the maximum? I just set my phone to (with the screen on) to 128 - 384 because if I put it all the way to 527 it won't come down (unless I turn the screen off).

1.2.0 does not currently.
I swear, the next version will (I swear!). I'll also add some basic battery profiles (if battery is less than 50%, set the speed to something) and a profile for charging. Of course, it'll always be free here (link in my sig).

Yes. You can usually catch it by doing cat proc/cpuinfo in ADB. It depends on what the phone is doing at that moment.

That's strange it doesn't work well with hero. Since I'm using haykuros adp1.5hr3 it workd beautifully, but the regular overclocker app doesn't even budge and I uninstalled that..idk tho, probably a build issue as far as I'm guessing.

The creator of the original Overclock app hasn't updated his application for even Cupcake build support yet. I thought he removed it from the market.

Yeah NeoBlade (thanks!) gave me the tip on that one yesterday. Seems to be helping a ton.
Min384Max527
Screen off Min128Max245

I can't find Overclock Widget in Market, was it removed?

I have the Overclock Widget and my question is, is it bad for my phone that while my screen is on i have it a min 527 max 527 then while screen off min 128 max 245... I've noticed that phone charges last longer but the useage of going back and forth determental to the phone? Thanks

Thanks, that would be of great help. Specially the battery profile settings. If you could also put a monitor, be it a widget or something on the notification bar it would be beyond awesome, or maybe a just notification of when the speed is changed and to what it was changed to.

Does anyobdy know if this SETCPU works on Hero ?
And must the app be on after i set the clock or can i close the app after ?

*bump* need to know

[Q] Why does my hero keep restarting? (Gingerbread 2.3.2 aosp)

It always restarts automatically, when i make a call, the call just freezes and when i turn the phone on from standby to see what happen, well you guessed it, it restarts! its pretty annoying i went through 2 batteries today in 8 hours, because of the restarts. please help!

If your using the stock kernel I think its overclocked to 768 not sure though. Try one of dec's 691 kernel the #589 is my recommendation. Hope it helps good luck.

There could be a lot of things happening. The most common is that your running a clock speed higher than that which your phone can handle. Not all heros are created equal, mine for instance starts rebooting at anything higher than 691. Try a different kernel or if using setcpu or over clocking widget to lower your upper end clock speed. Your phone freezing when coming out of standby can mean your lower clock speed is too low. ASOPGB has JIT enabled by default as well. Go into the settings and turn it off, then reboot. You will just have to play until you find out what works for you. Good luck!

Set cpu or similar will not fix the issue, laie was right a capped 691 kernel is needed and probably a capped recovery as well. Btw jit is no longer default in gb, and jit would not cause reboots anyway.

[Kernel] Dragon TEST... SetCPU profiles support...

http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Kernel-Voodoo-OC-v3.3-T1.zip
Dragon 3.2 w/ a fix that seems to work for setCPU screen off profiles setting the CPU to low values. Please note: The max freq in setCPU for that profile is what will be used, no scaling. I set it to 200Mhz and it's working fine every time I fire it back up.
The original patch is from here: https://review.source.android.com//#change,20804
Created by coolbho3k for the Nexus S, I backported it to Froyo. If we get good test reports from others, I'll push the changes to github tomorrow so other devs can use it.
When testing, please either use known good OC/UV settings, or don't OC/UV at all. Phantom OC/UV crashes won't help us know if this is working well for others. I've tested it with and without, turning my phone on/off like a madman... working fine so far.
Hmmm... early reports aren't looking good. Perhaps something isn't quite right. lol... Be warned if you try it, read all the comments. Might have to declare this one a fail. Too bad the NS cpu-freq driver is so different.. maybe I'll try pulling the whole thing over..

Downloading now report back tomorrow! This sounds promising.

Ok Im gunna have to try and install setcpu first.. otherwise my phone loads and restarts a few minutes into being on the desktop.

Testing now, Just UV'ed my clocks, and now setting profiles.

Observation so far:
SetCPU, and Uvolting seems to lock up my phone, and cause a reboot, and phone is pretty warm/hot.

Confirmed I can not run this either.

Couldn't use it. Phone would shut off as soon as scanning started. Kept happening everytime I tried to start phone :¬( going back to 3.2 has been stable at 1.4 ghz.

Im having better luck using profiles with 3.2 than with this one. I've been using set cpu since 3.2 came out with no problems @1.4 and on powersave when screen is off. I have made no changes to the UV settings.

yikes ! i smell quadrant score in few min lemme install it

Has anyone got a "kernel panic" on this before? I'm not sure what I could have done wrong.. had to Odin back to stock. Forgot to back up before I flashed, shame on me. lol.

kernel panic wipes your data ? everytime kernel panicked on me i just restarted =D

Nah, it didn't wipe my data. I had to Odin back to stock because I couldn't go into Clockwork Mod Recovery Mode. It would go into Kernel Panic and it reset all my launcher settings....

Was running hot for me also. Back to stock and then to bionix .
I think that when you get things fine tuned you will have a great Kernal.

[MOD][KERNEL] Lazy - yet another CPUfreq governor

My last effort of improving the ondemand governor by implementing a dynamic sampling rate did not work out as I hoped. Thus I did switch back to ondemand and, with a sampling_rate of 40000 and an up_threshold of 80, XviD playback with MobyPlayer was fine and also FLAC playback with MortPlayer was ok. However, as Morfic and others have noted the GUI feels a bit sluggish with these settings and suggested to try a sampling_rate of 15000. I tried this before, however with a lower rate, playback with MobyPlayer has serious problems with cracks and stuttering sound. Exactly this was the motivation to try and implement this dynamic sampling rate in the first place.
So the question is, why does a lower sampling rate lead to these problems? Since a smaller sampling rate means a greater flexibility and responsiveness, missing the point in time when the frequency should be increase cannot be the cause. Also the polling function which determines the frequency change is relatively light-weight, thus the extra CPU load for calling this function more often should also not be the problem. The only reason I could think of was that maybe switching the CPU frequency at these fast rates might be the root of the problem.
Thus I took the ondemand governor and implemented an additional parameter 'min_timeinstate' defining a minimum time the CPU will stay in a certain frequency state before it will be allowed to switch frequencies again. This way one can have a fine grained polling by setting the sampling_rate to a low value without running into problems with these fast frequency changes.
I did some extensive testing with a sampling_rate of 10000, min_timeinstate of 40000 and up_threshold of 90 and FLAC, mp3 and video playback all seem to work flawlessly. So it seems the root of the problem was indeed that the CPU does not handle fast frequency changes well.
I tested several apps and games and so far I have not found anything that this governor cannot handle. Thus I dare to say that it seems to be the superior choice over ondemand.
Test it, torture it, try to break it - I am looking forward to your feedback.

Yes, unless you can compile a kernel yourself you will have to wait. I do believe that there's a testing Trinity TEUV kernel by Morfic in his thread with the new governor as an option if you want it now.

Hi Ezekeel, an observation in the trinity thread mentioned that some games lagged really badly, i think it could be with too slow changes, due to your time delay feature. I'm not sure if it's feasible, but maybe a solution to this could be a dynamic time delay, longer for the lower frequencies (suited for music while screen off) and shorter for the higher frequency (for these intensive games).
Now I'm not a kernel guy, although I do wish to learn at some stage in the near future. This is just the product of some quick thinking, I have no idea if it is a workable theory or if it would just cause overhead and create more lag. Please let me know what you think though!

Been running the TEUV kernel with the lazy governor on since last night and here are a few of my observations:
1) Amazing battery performance. During heavy use with pretty much everything on and the screen at maximum brightness, I lost a mere 6% over a 30 minute period. Turn the screen down and back to normal use? 1% over 2 hours. Not to mention the fact that for the first time in a very long time my phone charged to 99% and when pulled off the charger stayed there for a good amount of time.
2) Upon booting, things stutter a bit. Most likely due to the fact that a lot of things are trying to start fighting for resources and since its a UV kernel, there isn't as much power to go around. Its not horrible like using my MT3G was but its noticeable. Also, there is, again just after boot, about a .25 or .5 second delay between pressing icons and the subsequent action happening.
3) After that initial slowness, it runs extremely smoothly. Like buttah, as mike myers would say.
All in all, I'm quite fond of this governor. I've tried UV kernels before on my phone and it tends to dislike them. Like random reboots and random bootloop, dislike them. Perhaps its the rom, perhaps its morfic's coding, or perhaps its just the governor. Whatever it is the collaboration is absolutely phenomenal. Kudos.

I just downloaded and tried the two games which were mentioned in the Trinity thread, Fruit Ninja and Air Attack, and I am experiencing no problems at all with the reference kernel from my sig set to 100/800. So until more people report such problems I am inclined to believe that these are not directly related to the governor.

I think that is normal. The GUI starts up before all programs and settings are properly loaded. For example if I open the app drawer directly after boot, only the stock apps are visible and after some seconds all my apps appear one after another. It takes about 10s after the GUI has started until everything is setup.

I expect the battery runtime to be similar to ondemand. On the other hand, I have made the experience that modifying governors is a delicate business and seemingly small changes can have an unexpectedly large impact. So as you said, only time will tell.

If the sampling rate is 10000 and the min_timeinstate is 15000, will the governor not consider load changes until min time is over, but at the normal sampling intervals? Which would mean an essential 20000 in this state?
I was looking through the patch on pastie right now, but opera closed twice, so I figured I ask you instead.

When the frequency is changed the next sampling will be performed min_timeinstate µs later, after that sampling with the normal rate is resumed. So in your example, the first sampling after a frequency change will be performed after 15000 µs, after that every 10000 µs.

Hi EZkeel your governor implemented the latest TEUV kernel has helped improved my battery life by close to 20!, was getting around 10hrs of battery with heavy use. About 3+hrs of screen time, display set to auto. Was able to run for 13hrs today.
One day of testing so far but I haven't seen my phone charge to 99% or last over 13hrs until I put the latest TEUV kernel with lazy in. Will continue testing throughout the week. No compatibility issues with the apps so far. Was running on demand governor previously and with the previous version of TEUV

Nexus 6 drops to 1ghz gaming

Hey guys so I got this problem I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten it because it is a little frustrating.
OK so my nexus 6 when I game it drops to 1ghz all 4 cores. I have chroma and elementalx. I've tried turning off thermal in kernel auditor and I have used core CPU control and system monitor and it goes fine for fee few seconds then drops down to 1ghz .
Its really annoying I really wish someone could help me. Thanks I'd advance.

change how your CPU is set up(by changing your governor/scheduler), and disable mpdecision. its very simple to get your CPU to work as you want it to, just learn what the different governors and their option do.

Check it out HERE.
You can even follow the instructions there to disable it.
Or you can install singularity kernel and the singularity kernel app with it. Singularity kernel has a option to disable it, along with a TON of other features.

The frequency drops because the CPU ***TEMPERATURE*** gets too high. Don't mess with it unless you like instability and "random" reboots.
