Overclocking with setcpu...

What are some good profiles for my captivate with the 1.2ghz kernel and setcpu?? Thanks in advance..

Whatever you do don't use "power save"
Phone won't wake in that mode.

I just set it as 100-1200 interactive. Then set a profile when the screens off 100-600 conservative.

As long as the profile is set from 200mhz - (200-1200mhz) the phone won't shut off and you won't have to remove the battery I had this issue on my phone....

That's because you had it set on "ondemand" I had the same exact issue for a long time before I figured out that was the problem. It has something to do with the kernel doesn't support it right with setcpu or something. I read it somewhere on this forum. I've had it set at 100 min for the last 3-4 weeks and it's never not turned on (as long as it ISN'T set for ondemand).

I'll bump this thread to ask a question.
Around the time I installed SetCPU, I noticed a HUGE drop in battery life. To be honest, I'm not sure if SetCPU is the problem, or if I changed something else on the phone and that's the source of my problem. Anyone know anything that I could have changed unknowingly that caused my battery life to suck so hard.

Don't use set cpu if you can avoid it. Sre sets you to 1.2 ghz and unhelpful supplies a script if you are comfortable doing that.
Limiting speed with set cpu had little positive influence. As long as the scalling is working the cpu should idle with the screen off any how. The only situation I would change the clock is during an overheat condition but I'm running without set cpu all together.
If I'm interpreting unhelpful right the next kernel will make use of user space in set cpu and allow many new things including under voltage to save battery and the creation of custom clocks not written into the kernel so you aren't bound to his preferences.

Where can you do that at? Is that where you make your own cpu speeds?

Use NSTools in any ICS ROM with Icy Glitch kernel.

Zio Overclocking Question

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?

what is the best setting for Droid Overclock

There are different settings, Ondemand, Performance, etc. What should it be set to to get best performance and does the Set to Boot box be check marked off?

You mean XOOM overclock, right?

interactive is more responsive and use a Tad more resources than ondemand. For the XOOM being dual core interactive is fine. On demand requires a signal to increase speed whereas interactive just does it. I wouldn't set at boot until you know your settings are perfect. Set at boot sets the speed at boot rather than having to go in and raise or adjust speeds.

1.5 ghz and interactive work wonders for me.

Lol I'm probably the only one but I love performance/start on boot. My batt still lasts days and I never have to worry about touching a thing.

U leave it in performance at all times and u still have battery life for days? That's amazing.

Lol I thought so too. I work 50+ hrs a week though so I play with it once, maybe twice a day, for a Max of a couple of hours.

Touch Screen Not Responsive

I'm running De-Sensed 0.7 and running Kozmik beta 4a
i updated my phone to 0.7 the day it was released and since yesterday or the day before my phones touch screen becomes unresponsive at random times...
my phone is set to 1.2GHz peak and 384MHz for standby
any thoughts on what the problem might be or is anyone else experiencing this problem??
RoGeRs

I posted a thread about this last week. I have kozmikkernal and rumfloat and I also experience this issue. I believe the problem lies in the kernal.

i also had this problem using kozmik kernel rc1, only on the lockscreen though.
i started using Holics rom with kozmik kernel last night and havent had the problem since.

thanks, ill probably switch to banana cakes kernel, hows battery life?

battery lifes good, i did find that when i use setcpu to set freq it doesnt stick. freq reverts back to 1.5 everytime i reboot. dont know if its the rom, kernel or app thats doing it.

It will stick if you set it as set on boot or make a profile.

[Q] Overlocking is freezing my telephone (SGS i9000)

Hello guys. I have problem with my SGS i9000. When I overlocking my phone to 1100-1200MHz it works fine till I launch PowerAMP (music player) and after listening few songs my telephone is freezing with robo-sound for ~30 seconds, then comes reboot. But when it's not overlocked everything works fine. Any suggestions?
Alex. Ukraine.

Some phones like OC but some not. You should not OC.

I had the same thing only with powerAmp, playerpro is working perfectly
Try another player first

You could try lowering the overclocking to 1100 or try a kernel with liveoc'ing that may help

I have bought PwAmp, it's seems perfectly to me.

DerRomtester, but it's work fine without Poweramp

Firstly, which kernel you are using and to what value you oc your phone? OC CPU or live OC ?
Have you Tried playerpro trial ?

Depends might be a kernel problem try semaphore and use liveoc 110% (most people use it like that) I'm using it like that and it works fine I tried 120 but i get some random freezes. Like they said some phones you can oc some you can't it's basically trial and error :/

Mackay Rom with Mackay Kernel.
Yes, I used PlayerPro before. Good player, no freezes, but poor sound Then I tried PowerAMP with Semaphore 115% OC, works fine for month, then it starts freezing. I thought it's because cold wheather outside. But I tested my phone. When I switch off music - it works fine, when I turn it up - after couple of songs it freezing.

Sure. I though this problem can be solved with reinstalling tehephone's FW, but I want to know which "bug" let my telephone freeze when OC.

Does it freeze without OC?

Really, if it works fine without OC there's really nothing to be said except don't OC. There's a reason why Samsung didn't ship your phone with higher frequencies, there's no guarantee the chip will be able to perform at those frequencies. It might be just a coincidence that it happens only with PowerAMP, but it just means your phone's CPU can't handle being overclocked.
It might be the case your phone is only unstable in one CPU-state (combination of frequency and voltage). Perhaps you could figure out which state this is and change your settings so your phone doesn't try to use that state.

ok So how can I figure out what state crashing all the time with OC?

You could try a cpu-monitor (one that shows the currently used frequency) and just keep an eye on it while playing music. This might (or might not) reveal a pattern. There's no guarantee though, it might just as well be all frequencies that are unstable...
