Hello. I'm using MIUI, so the app SetVsel is out of the question (on start it does Force Close).
I'd like to undervolt and overclock my CPU.
This is my current 10overclock file.
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "5 1000000000 60" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "4 800000000 59" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "3 600000000 52" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "2 400000000 40" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "1 250000000 32" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

I have few questions:
- Can I add 6th setting with 125000000 16, or I need to remove one of the lines? I know that I need to sort the numbers.
- How do I find the lowest stable vsel value with trial and error? How do I set manually frequency and vsel values and do a stability test without editing the 10overclock file and rebooting? If I edit 10overclock and the vsel is too low, the phone will go on infinite reboot cycles and I don't want to risk this.
- Is Interactive governor the best one available, or smartass or ondemand are better?
Thank you.

I believe you can only do 5 steppings for overclocking. You need to change one of the other lines to 125MHz if that's what you want.
You can use root explorer, or now even try zeppelin's Supercharger V8 preview to overclock.
Go into the FroyoMOD thread and the 2nd or 3rd post, you can find a default 1GHz overclock. If your phone bootloops, then just boot into recovery and flash that stock OC to get back to normal.
I just do trial and error from the top one and see how stable it is, until I find a suitable balance.
Thank you.
How do I force one of the frequencies in overclock file, so I can do a stability test with it?
If I find a stable value, can I replace the file in the backup zip without reediting the META-INF contents?

To test it, change one stepping at a time and make sure they're stable. If it's unstable, then your phone might bootloop/restart. Then you'll know that it isn't a stable overclock.
The steppings and overclocking change so much depending on the usage and load the phone has, so it's very hard to try and force a stepping, on 5 stepping OC's.

What if I use only one stepping, delete the rest, and do a stability test on it? Will this work?
The thing is that the phone rarely uses the middle steppings, it only uses 250MHz, 400MHz and 1GHz, where the last 2 are like 15% of the time. Somehow I need to force the phone to work at exactly this stepping, so I can know whether it's stable or not.

I have never tried it, so I can't tell you it will work or not. I think there is another file that enables the 5 step overclock, so it might screw up your OC.

What about manually setting min-max to one value with SetCPU?

How would i go about changing the cpu speed tht the rom has set it at. Like if cyan's rom is at 528 n i want max to be 328...how would i do tht ? wht file to mod ?
Instead of touching mods, better off using either SetCPU or the Open Overclocker widget, both available on the market or here. Just run a search.
The open overclocker widget in the market is fantastic. On cupcake I have mine set to 128-384 and set to 128 constant when the screen is turned off to conserve power.
Not just to hijack the thread, but AdrianK, at those settings do you find wake up too slow? For example when you get a phone call? I used to do the same as you, now I have it as 245 constant when screen is off and 384-528 when on.
Hey guys i appreciate ur replies but i wanted a way to implement it in the rom itself so i dont have to run a widget...thnx though..
SetCPU isn't a widget, its an app that you only need to run once and that's it. However I'm not sure if SetCPU also allows you to set the screen off frequency though which saves you even more battery life.
As for editing the ROM yourself to set the CPU speed, I can't help you there I'm afraid. Not sure if it has been posted on the forum or not too but try a search.

Yes, SetCPU will allow you to have a screen off profile so you can set the speed while the screen is off, and when it is on. It does need to run in the background tho I think...
So I'm new to phone hacking, but an experienced software developer with a pretty strong Linux background... Anyway, I was rooting around the filesystem and found /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
I checked the values in scaling_max_freq and scaling_min_freq and they were both set to 528000. After doing some forum searching I see that some people mention using setCPU to let their CPU throttle down to 245 MHz when the screen is off, but when I tried to do echo 245000 > scaling_min_freq it doesn't ever change from 528000
I'm using Fresh 1.1, do I need to install a different kernel if I want my CPU to scale, and why can't I edit this file manually? I assumed that all setCPU was doing was editing /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor and scaling_max_freq and scaling_min_freq

I dont know alot about linux or the kernel stuff but I do know that those of us that have been using SetCPU to adjust freqency have been installing a seperate kernel. Its Gumbo Kernel. Ill get you a link.
Gumbo Kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5502421
Looks like there's a script in there that fiddles with the memory freer and sets the scaling_governor to performance instead of ondemand or msm7k.
Changes /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree 1536,2048,4096,5120,5632,6144
to 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000 that's interesting.
edit: I'm not sure how useful that really is. Memory that isn't storing anything isn't doing anything, and so while it might make you feel better to say "Look! I have 90 mb free!" that really isn't as great as you'd think. If you run low on memory (ie the active process is needing more), then it's already going to kill and free up empty apps and content providers with no clients attached, so not really sure how useful that particular part really is.
edit2: So returning to my original question. If I want to change how low my CPU will scale down to, I need to install a new kernel?

Yes. Try the gumbo kernel. try scaling it to 160 just for fun. You'll see how slow it is, and it will prove that the cpu scaling works. try it at 528 also.
This mod disables the powerdaemon constraints that prevent custom cpu governor settings from sticking. This was developed on my T210R, but should work for others.
Background:
There are 2 files in the /system/etc directory (powerdaemon.xml and powerdaemon_z3.xml) that are used to monitor various states of the system (ie. "booting", "games", "video playback"). Certain constraints are set depending on the system state. Most of these constraints are a variation of the "ondemand" or "performance" governors. These constraints adjust the min/max frequency and set control to a specific governor. This is why you can not get any cpu governor settings to stick.
What I changed:
I changed all system states to be directed to the "normal" constraint. This constraint does NOT change the selected governor and has min/max frequencies of 0/150%. This basically disables any effect the powerdaemon has. The 150% max does not mean your cpu will run at 150%, it simply allows overclocking if your kernel supports it.
In my testing, simply deleting the files or disabling the system states caused higher than normal cpu usage. It seemed to be trying to continually process information that it couldn't find. So, creating a "normal" constraint that did not limit any funtionality seemed to be the best option. The powerdaemon controller still processes everything, but has no real affect.
Installation:
Download and flash the Powerdaemon.disable.zip (with custom recovery). You may want to make a copy of your original files if you are using a different model.
If you want to restore the original xmls, just flash the Powerdaemon.restore.zip. These are from my T210R.

Flash at you own risk. I tried my best to explain what the mod does, so I take no responsibility for what you do with your Tab.

To be honest, I actually use the default settings (with powerdaemon still enabled). I don't really use my Tab very much (except when I travel), so I don't worry much about battery life or performance enhancements.
With the powerdaemon still enabled, I find that I get less lag, because some of the constraints were set to change minimum frequency to a higher value than what it would normally be.
I discovered how this works back when trying to build my own kernel (with additional governors). I could never get the new governors to stick, so I started investigating and discovered the powerdaemon files. I have never really been that interested in changing governors, but I know that there are a lot of people who really like to change them. That's why I decided to put this out there. :good:

Theoretically, yes. Since you have a different model than what I developed it on, you may want to compare your original files to the "restore" files I provided, to make sure that everything is the same. I know the cpu is a little different with the T217. Let us know how it goes.
Well I looked in /system/etc on my t217s and did not find any powerdaemon files but I did find that if I change the governor settings that they do stick
Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk
You can also simply edit the values in the default files to change cpu config without using an app to do it. The disadvantage is you might not know for certain what is and isn't supported, but I upped my minimum frequency across most system states to 624 mhz, and I switched from the default 'ondemand' governor to 'interactive.' As a result my cpu's frequency, when not in deep sleep, is usually at 624 mhz and occasionally at 1.2 Ghz and rarely at 1.012 Ghz.
I had only owned my tab for a couple days before switching the settings, so I can't provide much of a before/after case study. But I am pleased with performance and battery life is okay, on average usage with 20% screen brightness (occasionally higher) it seems I can get at least 6 hrs screen on time over the course of a day.

Depends on which version you are referring to. For the Marvel based 7 in Tab, you need to delete /system/bin/phservice. At least that is what is required on 4.4.2 for the Tab 3 7 in (Marvel-based). On 4.4.2, the don't use the powerdaemon.xml's anymore.

Hi Gr8nole,
Thank you for your work on this. I have an issue with my T210R (4.4.2) the settings I make they don't stick after reboot. I used kernel adiutor, EX kernel manager, Performance tweaker.
I've flashed Powerdaemon.disable.zip
I have busybox installed, am I missing something?
Edit: I've found your suggestion about deleting /system/bin/phservice. I deleted the file, rebooted, changed to governor to lionheart. It seemed to keep the settings.
Thanks!
Hi guys!
I'm on eXistenZ 3.0, and everything's perfect, but i wanted to know how can i use the 'overclocking' settings? Do you know an optimal frequency?
Or what exactly can i do with that?

Interesting that you should ask. Coming from windows/intel chips, where overclocking is going beyond the highest value set at the PC bios to speed up the computer (thus generating more heat), I come to understand that "overclocking" in the android world is either to increase the lowest setting or decrease the highest setting for optimal performance (basically to save battery or reduce heat). In android, there is no way to increase the set highest value that I can see...
Of course, I stand to be corrected by long time android users here (I just came into android in Feb this year)

Do you want to Overclock the SoC itself or tweak the other options such as the Low Memory Killer, SD Card Read Ahead, etc?
Since I'm running the stock kernel (my bootloader is relocked), I cannot overclock the SoC
I usually use:
Governor: ondemand
I/O Scheduler: deadline
But
Governor: interactive
I/O Scheduler: deadline
Would sometimes deliver higher benchmark scores
With regards to the Low Memory Killer, I'm satisfied with the stock settings but try to experiment with the other presets as you please.
As with the SD Card Read Ahead, I've selected 2048kb as it is said to be the optimal value. You can try to use benchmarks to determine what works best with your sd card.

Also, if you really want to overclock your SoC; you can choose to unlock your bootloader and flash DoomLord's DoomKernel. :3
Remember to backup your TA Partition first before doing this step as unlocking your bootloader WILL cause you to lose DRM Keys (bye bye Bravia Engine 2 and Download Music Info). You can search for BackupTA 9.10.
DoomKernel allows you to overclock up to 1.8GHz, provides you with a plethora of Governors, Schedulers, and other performance enhancements. e.g. Samsung exFAT Driver, etc.

Everything is a bit new to me, new android user too. (i'm on locked bootloader)
Yeah i saw that i can maximize the current minimal settings, and minimize the maximum settings. I tried to increase a bit the minimum settings and did a benchmark, and i saw a difference already (i did 384 MHZ --> 584MHZ). But i dont want my phone to overheat or to decrease battery life.
The other options, i must admit i dont understand a thing, so what do you suggest to improve battery life for example, (or optimal settings if there are)?

I would suggest:
Min: 384
Max: 1512
Governor: ondemand
Scheduler: noop
SD Card Read Ahead: 2048kb
As for the other settings, it's better to leave them untouched.
For additional battery saving,
Install "Greenify" to hibernate power hungry bg apps such as facebook.
Also, turn off location services and auto-sync if you don't utilize them.
You can also go further by using "BetterBatteryStats" to monitor which apps are sucking your battery.

Yes. But it shouldn't be that much.
Using noop as your I/O Scheduler results to faster SD Card Reads while reducing CPU Cycles, reducing battery drain. Reduced CPU Cycles would seem to affect performance though.

sry, but, how to do that Oo
So in the Nougat ZUI2.5 I saw the cpu clock frequencies include a 2.3ghz for big cluster, and 1.7ghz for little cluster, also an option for "OC mode" in the setting
But no app can access it, I tried Kernel Adiutor and it always reset back to 2.15ghz, and when I turned on OC mode the actual cpu clock doesnt reach 2.3ghz, more like a governor change to performance with default clocks.
Is anyone currious about how to use the higher clocks?

Been meaning to respond for a while now, I'm very interested in seeing this too and I've observed the clocks setting back to 2.15ghz, tried messing with system files and was tempted to make a custom kernel modification but I'm just waiting for someone else to introduce something.. if that ever happens, if more performance can be squeezed out then it'd be awesome, even if it already runs flawless, I enjoy pushing it further. I've been compiling some UE4 demos and tests and testing them to see what the phone can handle, I'd like seeing what overclocks could do to those results.

actually I got oc running in almost every single rom for the z2 plus now, just extract the sh file in the attactment to /system/etc, set permission to rw-r--r-- and you are golden
also a modified thermal engine file is included to raise the thermal throttling threshhold, if you want also move it to /system/etc then set permisson
remember to backup the old files, although I noted that all roms use the same default files. If you want to disable overfreq you have to move the original files back to place, removing them wouldnt do anything
That's really cool and I wanna use it but is it compatible with the Z2 Pro? I mean they use the same processors.
Don't work for me.
Did for me on the z2 pro, instant 160K in antutu on 50% battery, quite happy with that
Any way to include audio gains (headphones) for the kernel?
I'd like pushing it a little further, especially the GPU, just not sure how to go about that for now..

unfotunately you need a custom kernel for that to work, as the files I uploaded are only to enable the prebuilt overclock that zuk included with the phone. On custom roms based on cm/aosp I got the gpu to 652mhz which is the same as the sd821 SoC, and it worked fine. Not much progress has been done to raise the cpu clock higher however

actually I got oc running in almost every single rom for the z2 plus now, just extract the sh file in the attactment to /system/etc, set permission to rw-r--r-- and you are golden
also a modified thermal engine file is included to raise the thermal throttling threshhold, if you want also move it to /system/etc then set permisson
remember to backup the old files, although I noted that all roms use the same default files. If you want to disable overfreq you have to move the original files back to place, removing them wouldnt do anything

Hello and thanks for your file but...i don't have any "System" folder in my Zuk Z2, that is strange, i had it in my old phones...

I get the feeling that Elemental X is never coming unless someone works with the source code, I see it's on the OP3 so I wonder how tough it'd be to port it over, would love to get the GPU in the Z2 Pro to 652 as well, I wanted to run this thing at the same frequencies as the 821 but wouldn't mind pushing the clocks further, I have the source for the OP3 EX kernel but this stuff is way out of my skill set..
I'm pretty sure I found where all the clocks and voltages are stored within the kernel, but like I said, I got no clue what to do.

Are you using root explorer or copying within the recovery?, if you're using twrp you need to go to the mount option and check the box for system, and if you're in the OS you gotta use something like root browser.

It doesnt have to be elementalx, although if any custom kernel get to that level of polish would certainly be welcome for this device. If you want to try overclocking via custom kernel, reference other devices that have the same SoC (sd820 in this case) to check what voltages and clock speeds they are using, and how do they implement the overclock (it could be very different between devices across many oems). I tried to follow xiaomi mi5's oc and didnt success, maybe you could do it better. Good luck!
Very interesting, got 155k in Antutu with it

Did for me on the z2 pro, instant 160K in antutu on 50% battery, quite happy with that

woah! that's almost OP3T territory.
how's the battery and SoT with the OC?
"just extract the sh file in the attactment to /system/etc, set permission to rw-r--r-- and you are golden"
i changed the file in the system / etc folder but i don't know how to change the permissions from this file can somebody help?

I use ES Explorer pro, just long press the file/properties and check all boxes, you will see rwx-rwx-rwx

Between 3 and 5h, one day is no problem.
thank you i changed the settings to rw- r-- r-- and did a reboot after that. In antutu i only get a score of 13800 and if i run the app kernel adiutor i see the big cpu i set to 2150 MHz i also see the settings for changing to 2304 MHz but it doesn't change if i try to set it. Im on 2.5. 335ST with root. Before i changed the file my cpu was set at only 1708 MHz and i couldn't changed it to 2150.
You need rwx-rwx-rwx

Thanks man it works perfectly. I'm getting 154K on antutu
Hi,
I did this but every reboot I need to run the script with root explorer. I tried rw-r--r-- and rwx-rwx-rwx.
