Overclock widget

So im running the RoDrIgUeZsTyLe froyo with the oc kernal and was playing around with Overclock widget and noticed that it will goto 1.2ghz..i know the kernel was for 1113ghz. Anyone tried using the higher setting? Would it be safe to just try it or ?
thanks

what for a wiget allows 1,2 Ghz ???

Overclock widget on the market

If u go into click here to define it allows 1.2ghz

heres a screenshot taken by shoot me

Even if you set it to 1200 it'll only let your device go as high as 1113. Give it a try
Edit: just saw your screen shot. That's interesting.

yes you can set it to 1,2 Ghz but you get just 1,114 Ghz not more
better to use setCPU the widget is not working right...

damn your right....i thought maybe it would work but ya i tried and just goes right back to 1113...oh well
thanks

Lol
10chars

u know i was using setcpu and i was charging my phone earlier while on a phone call and all of a sudden my temp went up to 104F
was set at 1113mhz....i've had it set at before and never had any temp issues the highest its ever climbed was like 97F...i know the back of the phone was hotter than all hell
just out of curiosity how come the Moto Droid uses a slower cpu than the nexus but yet the droid can be overclocked way past the nexus?

How would you know? I heard hell is very hot these days. Lol.
Its nothing unusual. Your phone is over clocked, you're charging and using your phone.
I suggest you lower down the Max freq while on charge.

SetCpu for rooted Droid 3

What are the best settings to use on the droid 3 for overclocking?
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

I don't know the best settings, but I set it my SetCPU too low for my "ScreenOff" settings... So sometimes when I tried to turn my screen back on, my phone wouldn't have enough cpu power to turn itself back on... so make sure you don't set governors too low! easy enough fix though when you do.

don't think you can overclock until custom kernals are out.

Correct, but you can still set governors to under-clock and help battery-life.

I set my droid 3 to 800 mhz max, 300 mhz min, but the widget doesnt change, and if i open the app i can watch it jump to 1000 mhz. I have used setCPU on other phones, so I know how to work it.
Does setcpu not work with moto's hotplug governor? I've seen other forums say not to change that

If you set it to 300 and 800 or 600 using "ondemand" it works but the phone gets a little laggy.
Using "motplug" and trying to underclock freezes the device for me.
You can pull the battery to get it working again.

I looks like if you set the governor to anything but mot_hotplug the second core does not get deactivated with the phone is idle. So battery life may actually suffer.

I experienced this as well, but was using ondemand and 300-600 with screen off. Phone wouldn't turn on at all unless a battery pull was performed, scared me a bit to be honest until i realized what was happening. Decided to stick wit mot_hotplug until we get a custom kernel.

[Q] Overclocking original Milestone

So i have the original milestone (android 2.2.1 and rooted) . I want to overclock because sum games (like samurai 2) is slow. But b4 i overclock...
1) What's a good app to overclock? Setcpu?
2) How do i know if the clock speed i chose r stable? Is there like sum sort of stability test app?

I prefer to overclock using the 10overclock method, but I don't believe that stock ROMs have that. You can try setCPU or Milestone Overclock(in the themes and apps section), but I haven't had any success with either.
As for stability, you can try running a benchmark app, it will stress test the phone, that should give you a good idea of stability. You can try Quadrant Standard, Smartbench 2011 or Linpack for Android.

i'm trying milestone overclock right now. How do i set custom overclock speeds? because the slider is like preset.
I downloaded setcpu. But it won't let me overclock
.

First you have to root your device using Universal Androot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20401155/UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk
Then use Milestone Overclock to increase your maximum CPU clock
And finally you can use SetCPU to control your CPU's behaviour

As i said, my phone is already rooted via superoneclock. So i guess i only use setcpu for profiles, benchmarking, and stablility, and underclocking?

Exactly
SetCPU does pretty much everything - except the overclocking itself
That's what Milestone Overclock is for

Seems like I missed that
My bad

What's like the maximum safe temp. for milestone? at 1 Ghz, it's at 43 C max.
how do i set it to 900 mhz in Milestone Overclock? Do i do it in settings? If so what voltage should i set it to?

Overclock GPU HTC One

Hi, I've installed ElementalX on my One and it allows a maximum GPU clock speed of 450 MHz, but I read on the Internet that Adreno 320 GPUs can reach frequencies of 500 or even 600 MHz... there is a way to enable those frequencies? Maybe a tweak or another kernel?

The s4 clocks all the way up to 627mhz via custom kernel. So. It's possible

I know that's possible, but I want to know how, lol.

There's a reason it isn't enabled. Don't even attempt this unless you want to melt the insides of your phone at worst case, or even in best case suffer from extreme heat and reduced battery life.

Man, heat isn't a problem for the One. HTC tests it at high temps. Mine for example is running at 2.16 GHz for a few months and I didn't have any problems at all... I reach high temps only when I play heavy games (max battery temp was 56.5 ℃)... The only important thing is that battery never reaches 60 ℃ which is the max safe temp for a Li-ion battery.

You have wrong information. Heat is a problem for all electronic devices. You will certainly shorten the life of the electronic components not only the battery if you keep them hot for extended periods. The reason the One has an aluminum case (besides aesthetics) is to help dissipate the heat from normal use and keep the device running for longer periods as well as extending the life of the battery.
Bumping up the max frequency doesn't mean the device is working at that frequency all the time. Specifically for a powerful device such as the One, it will only drain your battery faster.

Well I don't care of battery life... And the day I will notice problems I will go back to stock frequencies... So my question is: is there a way to OC the GPU to 500 or 600 MHz?

I will make a zip which does it okay? Do NOT complain when it blows up

Not necessarily. Faux oc'd the N4 GPU to 600mhz and no one made complaints due to the thermal throttle throttling the chip...QC and faux's implementations prevent excessive overheating.

Just for do some tests... And phone will not fry... The N4 and S4 have been OC'd to 600 MHz witouth any problems!
EDIT: I've tried to change the file but it resets to kernel value (450 MHz)... so the only solution is waiting for Matt's zip...
P.S.: Matt, can you make 4 zips? One for 500 MHz, one for 550 MHz, one for 600 MHz and one for 620 MHz? Or can you let me choose one of those 4 frequencies directly from a single zip? Thanks in advance.

Every phone reacts differently to overclocking but you seem pretty sure anyways keep us posted..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Matt can you also make a zip wich unlock a CPU frequency of 2.3 GHz? Now I'm on faux123 kernel and max frequency is 2106 MHz (on ElementalX was a bit higher, 2160 MHz)... So I want to try a CPU clock of 2.3 GHz and a GPU clock of 620 MHz... don't worry I keep temps monitored and I will downclock if phone gets unstable.
@shahkam: Sure, I'll keep you posted!

Hi,
It won't work with just a zip file, the GPU freq (like the CPU freq) is hardcoded in the kernel, if you want test an higher overclock you need to compile your own kernel... It won't work just by editing a file... Try by yourself modifying the value in the path you find LOL, and there is not only this path (/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/*** and a few others)...
The values you'll find in certain paths are just some values matching what was hardcoded in the kernel (for to do simple).
If it was too easy to just edit some files for overclock, why devs need to compile a kernel with overclock possibility???
If some GPU/CPU freq are not available in the kernel (by the kernel dev) you cannot set them without recompiling by yourself the kernel to add some extra GPU/CPU steps.
Plus the kernel devs here have tried GPU overclock above 450 Mhz and the result was worse performance, lag, etc... Something due to memory bandwitch or memory bottleneck... I don't remember exactly...
In fact the SIV can have higher GPU overclock with the same GPU as our but the "stuff" arround is not the same. Unless a dev find the solution.
But you'll never see GPU overclock in our One above 450 Mhz just by editing some files, trust me.

I want to try myself, if it works bad I already said that I will set the stock frequencies back. Anyway I think that Matt is going to prepare a flashable zip wich goes to replace the kernel files.

LOL, good luck!
In the path you find, for max_gpuclk (and find all the others paths related to the GPU clock, good luck here too ) change the value by yourself with a file explorer like Root Explorer (edit the file) it will do nothing!!! Same thing for the other values!!!
I think you don't understand what I wrote or how all the kernel stuff works...
You need to compile your own kernel or recompile the kernel... and add the available GPU freq you want, but it's not too easy as just add a 600 Mhz step when you developed your kernel, what about voltage, memory allocated, other config files needs to be modified to match all your modifications, etc...???
It's infinite more complicated than you think...

I know that the values cannot be changed by a file manager... but it was Matt who said that it's possible with the zip... If it isn't possible can you help me recompiling a kernel?

by flashable zip, I meant I was going to compile the kernel for you ^^ But yeah the S4 has DDR3 memory so that could be the 'bottleneck' mentioned. This would be a lot of effort for little result.

[INFO] Android One Overclocking

Hi guys !
I've been trying to add overclocking to Android One, I'm able to add another frequency (both Overclock and Underclock) but I'm able to test it, the 1391 MHz was the stablest overclock frequency I could get. Decreasing frequency lower than 590 MHz makes booting slower (I don't know why).
Check the screenshot, I'll report more news once I get things finished.
I have attached the mt_cpufreq.c just in case anyone have a kernel source and want to try the overclock.
EDIT: It seems max frequency can't be changed since it's hardcoded to 1.3 GHz, it keeps jumping to 1.3 GHz when screen is turned off, but the frequency sticks when phone is rebooted, but not on screen off.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EDIT2: It seems that mt_ptp also controls DVFS, which is interesting. This means we have to edit two files and disable restoring frequency to its default table.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EDIT3: I found this in mt_cpufreq.c :
Code:
static unsigned int g_max_freq_by_ptp = DVFS_F0;
Which is defined in the same file, the DVFS_F0 is :
Code:
#define DVFS_F0 (1300000) // KHz
The DVFS_F0 is 1.3 GHz, this might explain why the max frequency keeps jumping to 1.3 GHz when screen off. But this is just an assumption.
I've added mt_ptp.c just in case anyone want to checkout and help the development.

Interesting
I had given up all hopes of low level modifications such as over clocking /underclocking/under volting and kernel level wake gestures like double tap to wake etc... This gives me something to look at. Thank you

It seems that max freq can't be set to other than 1300 MHz / 1.3 GHz.
Can anyone here using CM12.1 confirm this bug ? Since it might be because of the ROM but I'm unsure here, it can be either ROM or my custom built kernel.
BTW, 470 MHz isn't fully implemented, the kernel refuses to use it. It might be because I haven't defined it in the volt switch function.
EDIT: Another possibility, it seems on mt_ptp, the clock are either hardcoded or defined in other file. So I have to say that overclocking might be still far away to be achieved.

Depends, does your phone kernel source exist ? If yes, then you're free to try. If not, then don't.
BTW, please don't think this is just a 'install the .c file and get overclock'. It needs many work, and such, I advise you to have at least some advanced knowledge of Linux Kernel.
