[Q] overclock gpu to 400 mhz

hi guys,
I come from a gs 2 and i just bought a note and install alliance rom (gb)
what kernel can overclock the gpu to 400 mhz as the gs2 with siyah kernel and extweaks.
Thanks for your answer ; ) and sorry for my english i'm french

You should probably check in the Alliance Thread if it's supported and works ok, but I remember from my GB days that Abyss 4.2 (Redpill Touch) was about the best kernel you could flash for our Note...
Also when you say "overclock to 400 MHz"...I suppose that you're talking about the minimum frequency. You can overclock your minimum frequency with mostly any kernel that has root.
I use AnTuTu CPU Master from the Play Store. It's free and really easy and intuitive to use.

The only one I know of that allows GPU over clocking and voltage control is Thor kernel. Not found on xda as the creator is persona non grata. Google it.
I use the app Voltage Control to specify frequency and voltage settings, very useful. Give it a try.

He is saying GPU not CPU thus the 400Mhz.
I use Tegrak to oc the GPU with Franco kernel.

Yeah use tegrak overclock but m using Abyss kernel nd my phone is buttery smooth

thanks shaolin95 but i don't find franco kernel for gingerbread, the only i found is for ics, can you give me a link please
edit: i've installed abyss kernel + bought tegrak kernel ultimate and it works ! thanks for your answer

i wanted to ask does overclocking the gpu help alot in games like more 10 fps ? and does it shorter the gpu's life ?
thanks alot

Kernel is good.. snappy.. nice performance..
There is no 1000mhz on the clock, so it's always on 1.24ghz ..
Pls add interactive governor.. I can't change the governor, only shows smartassv2 ...
Battery life not gr8.. But runs well.. power hungry games are smooth.. good overall..

This is inspired by SAMSUNG Infuse 4G, which use the same CPU and do not have 1.0GHz step in its stock kernel.
when there are both 1.24 and 1.0GHz, the governor will prefer to use 1.24GHz. And i thought it may help governor switch between steps faster.
so it won't eat more battery in this case.

I only built smartassV2(tweaked) into kernel. because it balance between battery life and performance.
There are also include kernel module of ondemand and conservative, you could load them by insmod if you like.

Thank you very much and must try it .

EDIT: unfortunately kernel doesn't work for me - i use it with paranoidandroid and rom was really sluggish at first (maybe cache-related...). then i startet setcpu for adjustments and the phone stopped responding with "colorful snow" on the screen. i pulled battery to reboot. - maybe my 9023 doesn't like 1,24 ghz (it is a bit picky, but 1,2 ghz at stock vol was never a problem).

yea, well, with stock kernel (and thalamus and matr1x and air kernel) everything runs fine, but i wanted to know, if there is a way to find out what exactly causes the problem with your kernel and my phone (which also might help somebody else). - raising the vol does not help that much, still some freezes from time to time (even though i'm above stock vols).

[Q] Overclocking

i am trying to overclock my bionic to 1200mhz or more. im running CM10.1 and when i go into cpu settings it just says max is 1000mhz and i cant mess with the minimum clock. ive tried setcpu and no luck. any help. is there a kernel i need or what? or is it even possible? Please let me know

Right now you will need to install a Kernel that allows for OC on top of your current custom ROM. OC Kernels are marked with "OC" so that you can find them easily.

This kernel is no longer being developed, so it does not incorporate any recent changes from the Cm builds.

Blurry 2.5 has a oc kernel built in with it. 1.2gig. Has CPU sleeper an custom governers with it.. Only bad thing is its on 4.1.2 not 4.2.2. In my opinion I'd rather be on 4.2.2 then gain 200mhz

Overclocking

I want to overclock my N7000's CPU and GPU. Please guide me how to do it safely. :cyclops:
N7000 Intl
Kernel: PhilZ cwm6 v5.06.1 with CWM 6.0.3.2 based recovery
ROM: SlimBean 4.3 (Official Build 2.2-1745)

Your kernel has to allow you to do that and you have to use a program like cpu master, or You can search for overclocking in the settings.

So, what kernel allows you to do that?

The only way to overclock the n7000 worth mentioning
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tegrak.overclock.ultimate&hl=en
For gaming, i recommend:
Also, depending on how you use the phone you might want to underclock(and/or undervolt) the cpu (to avoid thermal throttle) and overclock the gpu (400 mhz works great on my phone, compared to stock 260)
For browsing the web and stuff like that:
consider overclocking the cpu to 1500-1600 (even 1650 has proven possible on my phone.)

try NX kernel (only for 4.2.2) or speedmod kernel.
for me samsung latest update is better for gaming because it has updated driver for mali (and you can use Titanium backup to freeze samsung's unwanted apps)

I am on asylum rum.
However, on this ROM, my GPU does not scale properly. So for gaming its not great.
NX kernel is great for gaming, unfortunately it's a bit dated.
In my opinion cm 4.3-based Roms work well.
But , changing ROM does not have as big an effect compared to overclocking the GPU.

ROW as default io scheduler
build with linaro gcc 4.9.2
kernel build with -Ofast
faux123`s dyn fsync
optimized arm rwsem algorithmfixed an bug that could make the oc kernel unstable
overclock version with 1600mhz max with 16 step frequency table and reduced core voltage
overclock version with 1500mhz max with 15 step frequency table and optimized core voltage
standard version with 1400mhz max with 14 step frequency table and optimized core voltage
on idle cpu can go to 100mhz instead of 200mhz for longer battery life

thx for your post.
I will try it and if its working without any problems it comes in the next version

Sounds interresting what GeeckoDev found out. Looks like the new freque. also goot for non playing Note 1 users...

57hz - 59hz is completely safe. If you go beyond that, bootanimation will start to derp (turn off/on the screen once it's fully booted and you're good to go). Also you will have no access to the recovery. I only experienced that on AOSP, though. On Touchwiz I could go to 62hz without a problem. 64hz is fine with the workaround above.
It improves smoothness and lowers latency by quite a good margin (~17ms at 57hz, ~16ms at 60hz, ~15ms at 64hz).
Also, good luck with your kernel!

Had to go back to forest 1.90. On Your kernel cannot use gallery

Hello Bauner
First of all thank u very much for a great kernel. I have tested the non OC and OC 1.5. Everything runs smoothly except for stock video player that got busted with the OC'ed vers just like forest's. I have yet to test battery as I have just completed one battery cycle. Will update if there's anything pops.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Free mobile app

I also test it for 2 days on DU Rom and it is working smooth. I'm using the non OC version but it seems the kernel loves to stick on 1.1 and 1.4 speed which is why the battery drains much faster.
I also noticed that when Wifi is on and while screen off, it seems to drain also much faster, while on stock it consumes about 150-170mah on this kernel it consumes 230-250mah.
What I'm happy about this kernel though is that it seems to resolve my issue with Dynamic Colors on DU as I had no single reboots while using it. On stock kernel I had reboots when using Dynamic Colors.
Is there a way that instead of always using 1100 speed, it will use a lower frequency like 800 or 900?
Many thanks for the kernel!

Thanks bauner for the great kernel.my note now more energized and smooth after flash with oc1.5ghz tw....antutuscore got 17k..also problem on whatsapp memory leak seems resolved now :beer:

did you try to close all running apps and then check again?
if tehere are running apps that makes i/o can make this kernel running on higer frequencies because my modifications on ondemand.
you could try to use an tool like no-frills cpu control and try another cpu governor like pegasusq or conservative.
with this tool you also can see how long your cpu was running on every frequency

Thanks! Will test maybe tom and change my governor to pegasusq. Hopefully when on normal use it will use a lower frequency instead of 1100. I'm using BetterBatteryStats to see how long each frequency runs and the majority is 1400, 1100 and 100.
About the higher consume of battery, yes there is one app that was running and it was FB messenger though it was also running when I compared it to the stock kernel from DU.
I'll give feedback again once I'm done with testing.

with my rom+kernel it doesn't stay at high frequencies.
the attached screenshot was made a few minutes after boot complete

It says it couldn't mount storage/sdcard0 when trying to mount in recovery.

Hi bauner,
Mine also stay highest 1.1ghz..why never reach 1.5ghz..I'm ondemand/row..
