Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader and installed alfs 07 ICS. I then installed firedroid. Problem is sometimes randomly half of the screen will like cut off and appear on the other side. This seems to get worse when I overclock though.
Anyway to fix this issue?
Thanks
It has to do with the governor. You should change it but I don't remember to which one to switch. I think it was on demand.

Ondemand is the stock governor try SmartassV2 or V1
PLEASE GIMME THANKS!

Now that the kernel source is available, won't we be able to overclock our mobiles?
Guess i got a little bit envious with all the overclocking that has being going on with other phones.

A bit of using search never really hurt anyone before...
So is it possible yet.

Been possible for last 3months. Just find a kernel with oc support and get setcpu. Frankly its not worth it as setcpu is a piece of **** app that make your system unstable. As other poster said. Do a damn search

But for froyo? Maybe is asking for it.
maybe someone with the tallents could have a look into this OC method they use for droid x and milestone using a kernel module, this would enable us to overclock any froyo kernel.

It would be nice to have it in the kernel. 100 to 1200 that the system controlling like it already do. No setcpu crap.

also setcpu is not to blame for the problems, as it runs just well on galaxy i7500 for overclocking. i´m not sure what the problem wit it is on SGS, but i´m pretty its not setcpu´s fault

The problem is that SGS doesn't like different CPU governors! It will only work if you don't touch the governor settings! At least that is what I have found to work in the Eclair builds!

Seems ignorance is bliss for some of our fellow xda folks. SetCPU is not even needed for those oc kernels unless you want to change scaling from default schema. It really don't contribute to the unstablity, just that the kernels seemed inefficient.

I agree. Don't install SetCPU and the kernel is reasonably stable, but crashes miserably when running cup intensive apps. We have to work harder developing a kernel which works well for our hardware.

kernel was very much stable. It is just that hummingbird is bad for overclocking. Not all phones can be overclocked, sadly.

I can understand what you are suggesting, however why was it still unstable when I tried to disable 1.2GHz or 1.13GHz frequency keeping the original scaling and running at 1GHz or less??
Is that 0.2 bump really noticeable?

I think 20% is noticable difference. Especially when using that crap of a browser we have.

dont know which version you used.
1.13 was quite old. All recent versions were 1.2. Anyway, nevermind =)
Yeah, do want a OC'able kernel - the 1.2GHz kernels for Éclair were always stable enough for me if I didn't try to UV it.
Id be open to using a 1.2Ghz OC if its 100% stable and no wake-up bugs and ofcourse should not affect the life of my CPU that much and should not drain my battery more than 10% faster
Hi there,
I installed 4 modules: fix mddi, undervolt, dual touch, and faster wifi.
I decided to overclock my phone and it seems to be slowing down my phone rather than what it says by speeding it up.
Could it be because i am on semc stock kernel?
After some frequencies it happens to slow...its stock kernel fault.

The OC module has a problem in that when the module is activated it will underclock (correct me if I am wrong) if the OC frequency set is too low (abt 600MHz to 691MHz). Just don't set the OC frequency too low or stop using x8oc.

I just read dx's thread as i was interested in undervolting. x8oc.ko will only undervolt once your frequency goes below 600mhz.
@ftwisawesome: are you using "smartass" governor? Try switching to ondemand to check if it slows your phone like you said. And i believe you don't need to undervolt as spyder said it's already built in the oc module. (You are using x8oc.ko, right?)

Oh gosh I said UNDERCLOCK, not UNDERVOLT. The 2 are different and what I meant is that if you insmod x8oc and set it to, say, 600MHz, it will not really clock at 600MHz, it will clock at a lower speed.

Oh, my bad. Sorry about that.
No idea adt the underclock thing, but it does seem that way (ie: cpu set at "600mhz" using module really seems slower than 600mhz before applying it).
Really sorry man..

Change the governor to "performance" and watch if it happens again.

hi all
i have installed prime hd 9 with custom kernel i want to exactly know at what min and max CPU frequency should i keep for good high speed performance which is stable i kept some frequency at random and it was not that much speed it slowed my phone and in what governor should i keep
I personally dont recommend doing anything with your CPU because from my experience I didnt see so much difference and speeding up your CPU will make you battery drain faster and you CPU will reach highier temps. For the governor I use the performance one because it is constantly keeping the clocks on the highest set values. It makes the phone work smoother and while changing clocks its slowing the phone down. You can try and look for every governor meaning but I recommend the performance one. To monitor the temps use SetCPU`s widget.

hello all friends. is there any tweak to increase our phone overclocking limit? my phone can be overclock to 806mhz max but it will hang if i use processor intensive app. it will stable if i overclock it to 787mhz only. but i things i feel weird, when i overclock to 806mhz then i run antutu benchmark it will be just fine wihout rebooting. why is this happen?
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
not 100% sure, but afaik it's a hardware issue, and different phones have different results. i can't oc mine above 800 without rebooting. some can. some aren't stable above 700.

yes i know its depend on hardware. even the same phone with same manufacturing date also could have a different result in everclocking. i just want to know if there any tweak or mod to improve overclocking.

There is no way to get no reboots at 806+ as you mentioned. You will always have reboots at this freq.Mine is only stable at 748 , at 768 getting reboots

erm ok. 1 last question. what does thing that make it reboot? i mean is it because of heat or system halt cause by miscalculation of data that happen when system bottlenecked occur?

some procesors are built very well and they can run at 825mhz without reboots and such,mine on the other hand, cant go above 729.

yes i know that well but i just dont know what really makes our phone reboot when we overclocked it. is it cause by overheat that toggle the max temp threshold to automatically reboot it or cause by bottlenecked?

Hi everyone, as i have been starting to fiddle around with governors i discovered that my setting won't stick and I'll have to reset them after rebooting, what could be the solution to it?
Also after researching it seem the better governor is smartassV2? Should i change any voltage or GHz for balanced performance and battery life?
Thanks all for helping out yet again:beer:

What app are you using to do this? Try trickstermod or daemon controller
And have a look at the guide linked in my signature, that might answer your questions about overclocking and undervolting
You'll have to look on a pc or on a browser on your phone

Never, ever, ****ing ever set your clock speed apps to set on boot.
Why? If you set up a frequency that your device cannot handle it will set these frequencies as soon as your phone hits the loading screen. You will not be able to boot your device as the clock settings will kick in immediately and freeze your system.

If you dont check that option the settings will revert to default setting when u reboot

Most roms running ics or greater have built in safety, so if the phone force closes set on boot will not apply. It is perfectly safe to set your governors and I/o on these roms. Check for info about current Rom you are running, if it has this feature go nuts and test the limits of your phone . Do your research peoples, can't stress that enough, find out what you can about your phone and current rom/radio/kernal and you won't hurt your phone. Fail to do so and risk bricking your device, its that simple.
