I just flashed to assonance and there is this thing called voltage control. Have no idea what it does.. anyone know?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Allows you to tweak your voltage settings on your phone.. and controls overclocking.
... Have to let the experts tell you how to tweak the settings though.
I'd also be interested to know if there is a guide or something to tell me what all those settings are!
Someone should make a tutorial/guide on it...

Well iv had my Zio for a few months now and even with the 2.2 Update sometimes it seems to slow down and stutter.
I have been doing some research on Rooting my phone to get wifi tethering and the ability overclock my phone for better performance.
Now so far the Zio community on here seems to be very small so i dont expect an answer very fast so here is my question.
Has anyone with a Zio Managed to root there phone and overclock it? im not talking about some CRAZY overclock. im thinking in the 50-100MHz range. if so how has the performance increased? or has the performance Decreased? how is the battery life?
I have attempted such by manually editing some CPU files. I was able to successfully adjust the governor and changed from the stock 95% to 100% CPU threashold.

So far I would say its a little faster. I definitely see a difference when opening apps and especially with the 2.3 launcher from the market.

Could you list where the CPU files are located m8?

If your phone is rooted you can use a number of overclock apps, but they use parameters based on te phone the zip is 122.88 to 600 mhz

@matrix
What were your exact editing lines? I forgot which thread it was where you answered this question before.
I basically changed the governor to performance and threashold too 100. Actually overclocking the ZIO is giving me trouble when I try to go higher than 600000
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Correction. Governor must be set to on demand to edit the threashold.

You wont be able to get true over clocking until theres been kernel source released. Has that happened yet? New to this device.
If so, and someone is willing to do something with adb, I can work on getting an overclock kernel for you guys, but I wont be able to test it myself so it could be a bit dangerous.
As long as it isn't clocked any faster than 6.5 or 7... 7 would be risky.

You cannot over clock the Zio at the moment. The Kernel does not support it. You can use an app to set it to 600mhz all the time. It usually stays at 600mhz on its on.

which is why I said if we had kernel source, I would work on it for you guys. Keep an eye out for it.
Once we ave source, if one of you can pull your current config for me, which i'll explain once its available, it shouldn't be too hard to clock up a little.

Of course. Wouldn't let that go by unnoticed.
There is a overclock widget available that works great. When screen is locked it downclocks to what ever you set it too. Once unlocked it goes to 600 MHz.

but im gonna try and bump that 600 number up a little bit. Just need source code.
Tried to overclock witb droid. Fixed some permissions with clockwork it opened and ran just like setcpu. The app said the overclock module couldn't be opened because my device wasn't listed. Obviously.
Kyo M6000 Rooted with NoAds or Bloatware.
yeah the module is gonna be device specific.
I can't wait to see what this phone can do overclocked!
I had the Droid Incredible, iPhone 3G and neither could play the videos that I encoded for the ZIO without stuttering. The ZIO is playing the video files without stuttering with default player!
MP4/H.264/AVC/AAC LC
Video
800x480/4:3/29.97/1536
Audio
48100/2/160
I was just testing these settings on full movies just to see how bad the ZIO would stutter, to my surprise it played those as if it wanted more!
I will not keep those settings, as a full movie is over 1.5GB!
I might keep the video settings and use different audio settings, because the quality of the videos kick major butt!
I will be the beta tester for your Overclocking kernel option94!
I think it would do 750Mhz no problems, which would make this phone a beast! I wonder what the video sub system is in this unit?
I was wondering what the best overclocking app was...I used cpumaster and got 2500 but I want more

I've always liked Voltage Control. It's got it all. i've also been playing around with Pimp MyCPU- its pretty neat, super easy to use. And then there is also SetCPU which is pretty popular.
Im using voltage control, easy and simple to use.

voltage control only UNDERVOLTS not overclocks, i you know that. use setcpu to overclock and VC to undervolt

Hold up a sec. No offense but your a little off. Voltage control does BOTH. You can set a Max and Min clock just like setcpu and also allows UV. I use Voltage Control. Like I said. Its got everything you need to OC (provided the kernel is OC capable).

I'm new to all of this and was just wondering if anyone has any performance settings (max/min cpu, governor, etc...) recommendations for Liberty rom under the performance setting? I searched the forum and could not find any. I do have the speedy script installed.

Not much point messing with cpu and governer. You can't overclock and underclocking tends to cause instablity.

Ok, thanks. Why did they put the option in there to change the setting if it makes the phone unstable? Glad I asked first!

Some underclocking will work, although from what I've heard the differemce to battery savings is pretty minimal. There is a thread here that has some files that allow some overclocking actually, although it seems most ppl can't manage more than 1.1 without automatic reboot, we can't increase the voltage. Liberty isn't just for the d3, its been ported, so other devices may be able to use these features, also if we ever get the bootloader unlocked it will be very useful.

There is an app called "pimp my cpu" (I believe it's in the market) that will allow you to easily overclock the Glitch kernel. Might want to give that whirl.

I got it but the interface is confusing I kinda wanna one click thing lol
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I don't have it on my phone right now, but I believe all you have to do is open the app, pick a maximum cpu frequency (e.g. 1400 MHz) and long-click on it. It will pop up "set as max", and when you click that, it will put that as your max speed until you reboot.
If you want to go farther than that, you can create profiles that will load on startup, and tweak the undervoltage settings, but for a simple overclocking, you're actually in a good place with PMC.
The best one for glitch kernel is the nstools

You're supposed to use NStools for glitch. I can't really tell you what's best for your phone though

glitch kernel POST 1 tells you what to use. if you didnt read that, i dont expect that you searched and read the MANY guides on xda on how to overclock. so im not going to tell you.,

I got NStools as soon as I flashed the rom , just want more directions to do it, don't think I didn't read or look around, I'm not new to flashing but I'm new to overclocking, just wanted clarified directions on what to click in nstools, to lets say over clock to 1.2 ghz

If you need an app, try NSTools.
I got it I was just wondering what the best settings would be
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Every device is different for over clocking because of the manufacturing process just make sure the setting "apply at boot" isn't ticked while trying out different settings then test the settings and make sure its stable then if it works for you you can check apply at boot overclocking will decrease battery life though if you want to increase battery life you will need to under volt your phone (this is assuming your kernel supports overclocking and undervolting)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Yea I can do both just don't really wanna mess about with it until I know more about it.. am I right to assume undervolting would reduce performance
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
No I thought this at first as well, the performance remains the same the only way it will result in performance issues is if you do it to much the phone will become unstable but as I said before test the settings before saving
