Cpu Slow After Root

I just rooted my HTC Hero (Sprint) Stock 2.1 and now I notice my Cpu is running slow. If I install SetCpu it speeds it up right away...Upon opening SetCpu I notice my Cpu speed says 245 mhz max/min. When I the refresh it it says 480/528 but after my screen turns off and back on it slows down again and returns back to 245 mhz. I never had this problem until after I rooted the phone. Why does my phone keep reverting back to 245 mhz and slowing down after I turn my screen off? Also it seems like my Battery life has gone down drastically...
edit: I intalled overclock widget and when I open it it also says 245 mhz. When I then set it up to 528 it makes my phone run fast again. As soon as I turn my screen off and back on it automatically reverts back to 245...

What ROM are you running? If it is not a ROM running an overclockable kernel apps like setCpu and OC widget will actually slow your phone down. If you would like to see your clock speed without this side-effect, I suggest SystemPanel.

The 245 is what it goes too when sleeping, give it a minute or so and you would see that change on the apps, although your phone should be doing it right away. I suggest running a rom with overclock, and setting screen off settings to 245 min and 528 max, does wonders for my phone coming out of lock

Depends on the ROM. Fresh Toast 2.1 has issues with setCpu and several people have reported issues with recieving calls if the screen off frequency is enabled in OC widget. I disagree with the screen off frequency for non-overclockable roms. Several users of Fresh ROM, not just myself have accidentally left OC widget or setCpu on when switching from toast to fresh and have noticed the same symptoms. Flipz himself has also said the same thing, if you try to overclock a non-OC ROM you will actually underclock it to the point it is unusable.

I did say to do it on an overclocked rom. If it's a stock kernel, then do not mess with the frequencies, it's a fight, and kernel beats app every time, effectively stopping everything
till they agree

Abyssnote 3.2 and tegrak overclock ultimate

I am really confused about how this tegrak overclock app works. As suggested by angelom i gave up setcpu for tegrak but i can't seem to figure out a couple of things.
I am trying to get 100-1400 mhz with undervolting. So i chose the voltages i wanted, then chose max cpu frequency as 1.4 ghz.
Now heres the problem. In the optimization menu i now see cpu level 0 as 1400mhz as well as cpu level 3 as 1400mhz. Level 1 and 2 are still 1664 and 1600. Also the voltages for level 0 are the ones for 1704mhz.
Is tegrak setting my voltages for 1400mhz correctly? Because my phone seems to be running fine however low i set my lvl 3 1400mhz voltage. I even set it to 900mv and quadrant still ran. (Trying to alter voltages over level 3 causes the app to force close after i set max cpu freq to 1.4)
Either tegrak automatically reverts back to the original voltage when the system is unstable (in which case.. How would i know when this happens?) or something isn't working right.
I am on a stock kk3 rom.

Incredicontrol

We finally have root permissions, so i decided to try incredicontrol... anyone has already tried it?
I lowered the max freq up to 640MHz, and lowered the minimum freq up to the minimum (51MHz). The phone remains agile, no lags.
I noticed an improvement of the battery life, and the phone doesn't overheat like before.
The system uses more cores, not just one as with the base frequency.
I verified with the options "show cpu usage" in the hidden menù.
I suggest to use the interactive governor, because other governors don't use the shadow core.
We still cannot undervolt because there isn't a kernel that supports undervolt...
ps sorry for my bad english, but i'm italian

this app is simple, but unfortunaly it crashed for me to often, i use cpu master, set max speed to 1000 and min speed to 51mhz,
i think these tools are not full tegra3 rdy right now

My CPU master doesn't (never) crash(ed) when i set max min CPU. Perhaps your app is buggy?

[GUIDE/DISCUSSION] ViperWVGA/Sense ROMs kernel tweaking thread: Battery/smoothness!

Because both the ViperDHD and Team Venom beta forums are being used by people like us to discuss battery life, kernel tweaking and smoothness, I decided to change this into a universal Viper/Sense discussion thread. ANyone from the family of devices which include DHD, Desire Z, Desire S, IncS, dinc2, mt4g etc are welcome here. ACtually, everyone is.
The discussion was sort of started here

Using tricksterMOD, you can see that governors like interactive and ondemand have their own settings. I have been playing around with these settings, and I am still not finished with what I like yet. However you can use this post as a guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36743252&postcount=3113
With Interactive, you can set your go_highspeed_load to 806 or 768MHz. I have set my min to be 245MHz, max 1200MHz but highspeed load is 806MHz. This results in a kind of even split between the times that 245, 806 and 1200MHz are used. With ondemand or another governor, it generally spikes up to 1200MHz (your max freq) a lot, rather than scaling between the lower freqs. This results in more battery usage because you are staying at a higher freq for longer than needed. Performance is generally the same with interactive and ondemand if configured right.
What do these mean? Basically, with my device now when I touch the screen, it will ramp up to 806MHz. If the process is more than just moving something on the screen and more processing power is needed, it will automatically go to 1200MHz, and when its done and I am still touching the screen, it will go back down to 806MHz. When all I am doing is browsing xda or something, when I scroll it ramps up to 806MHz and when I leave it to read something, it will go down to 245MHz. Then obviously when its sleeping it goes into deep sleep (hopefully)

My battery life suckss.

You can't edit the governor settings with the daemon controller app. That's why we use the trickster mod app to edit things
By governor settings I don't mean switching governors, I mean the actual settings of it.
That stuff should disable itself but its best to remove them to avoid conflicts

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

Thanks
Very nice kernel, fast and smooth - great work and port.
Anyone knows if it's possible to use any third party kernel app to boost the headset volume?

Working
Hi this is my first post, infact I joined so I could report my findings.
I would just like to confirm so far that V5 working on my Z3C using the .93 firmware. I didn't need to wipe cache/dalvik/data partitions either.
For purposes of settings configuration, I'll be using TricksterMod
For stress testing purposes I'll be using Stability Test 2.7
Overclocking
Overclocking seems to work, I'll stress test and report back with the results.
I was wrong, it is unstable when overclocking and stress testing, with the phone force rebooting 1-5 seconds in to the stability test which loaded all 4 cores. Tried 2899Mhz and 2880Mhz (were both unstable and didn't try 2.72, 2.75, 2.57 either - I might try stability testing them.) Was completely stable at 2.47GHz, and it actually stuck there, no throttling in place! I stopped the stress test when the CPU temp was around 77-80C as my hand was getting burnt! The battery temp reached about 46C. It took 10 mins of stress testing for this to be reached. When the stock kernel was in place it would begin throttling after about 1-20 seconds under full load. First 2.2GHz, then 2 then 1.7 then 1.5 and eventually 1.25 after about 2-4mins.
I couldn't do a single core test though. I suspect as most games use single core or dual cores it wouldn't get overly hot.
My opinion is that fast clocked phones should be marketed with 2 speeds. The highest it'll reach under a boost mode (turbo for Intel's i5 and i7 series), and a slower speed that it'll average out at under thermal pressure. The Z3Cs would be turbo: 2.5GHz and normal: 1.5GHz.
Governors
These are quick tests I'm performing here to provide a quick look at responsiveness and potential unnecessary CPU jump ups.
Wheatley - most of the time it's hovering at top speed when approx CPU usage is 9%, it'll occasionally hunt down to 300Mhz but then right back up to 2899MHz. This one is speedy though. Governor tunables available.
Lagfree - idles at 300MHz - 960MHz then hunts up to 2.2-2.9Ghz when needed and turns on the second core. It seems to slow back down to idle. This one seems to have fast scrolling, sliding notifications pane quickly). No governor tunables.
SmartassV2 - idles at 300Mhz, speeds up to 422-960 on core 0, and turns on core 1 at 1.2-1.5GHz for a few seconds under fast scrolling and notification pane opening. Seems quite responsive. Probably good for battery life hopefully with the responsiveness of Interactive. No governor tunables.
Lionheart - Idles at 960 MHz for a few seconds then slows down to 300MHz with the odd increase to 729MHz. Core 0 and Core 1 reaches 1.26GHz under scrolling, notification pane opening. As fast as the others. Governor tunables available.
Hotplugging
Intelliplug appears to work better than MP-Decision - now only one core is on during idle, instead of 2.
MP-Decision was disabled to avoid conflicts.
Undervolting
I've only undervolted 300MHz to 675MHz from 775MHz as of writing this post.
Tried quickly undervolting in trickstermod by setting them all about -75mV, stability tested it, appears stable. I'll tweak the voltages a bit better when I do a scaling stability test.
Issues I've experienced
Sound Control is the only thing so far that causes a reboot. However music still plays over the speakers and headphones. Equaliser works too.
Upon rebooting, the CPU top speed will set itself to 2.2GHz, despite being set higher and saved at a higher speed in Trickstermod. Certainly trivial though.
Strange thing I've noticed: On the undervolt part I've noticed that there is a freq called 3033MHz, but no 2899MHz freq. Just an observation.
Misc
Force Fast Charge confirmed working! Before flashing new kernel charge went up 5% in about half an hour. It's now up another 5% in a matter of 5-10mins. This is when plugged to my PC.
Vibrator strength - set to 20 from 31, much quieter on table and can still feel it.
I'd like to say a huge thank you to DooMLoRD and AndroPlus for developing this stable kernel. Now my Z3C is worth the £28 a month I'm paying for again. Since this silly lad decided to bork the camera, Bravia functionality etc by rooting it on the first day. I'll report back and edit the post with my findings.

Max won't go beyond 2.266 GHz, Min won't change.
Hi All,
Firstly, great job with the kernel. Our Z3C is such a capable piece of kit and this just makes it that much better.
I'm running stock, 23.0.A.2.93, unlocked, rooted.
Problem:
I've tried using both SetCPU and No-Frills and while both show frequencies that are supposedly selectable above 2.266 GHz, neither app would actually respond. Meaning the max frequency will still only be 2.266 GHz even if I tried selecting something like 2.458 GHz (which should be selectable given that stock is 2.458 GHz.) See caps.
In addition, the Min value just won't change at all from 300 MHz. The frequencies scale up and down as the load changes but I can't raise the Min (again using both SetCPU and No-Frills) from 300 MHz.
Tried: I've tried turning off stamina mode and frozen apps that could control CPU activity (e.g. I use DS Battery Saver). I changed up Governors and Schedulers. I've tried re-flashing the kernel and it still doesn't change these behaviors.
Question/Need help: Just wanted to ask if anybody else have any problems setting the max frequency beyond 2.266 GHz and/or changing the minimum frequency from 300 MHz? Would appreciate any help resolving this behavior.
Thanks in advance!

Try installing TricksterMod (from Google Play store, trust me, you'll love it!) Then go to General and set the max speed to 2.46GHz or higher, and try using the Ondemand Governor too. I noticed that it wouldn't stick properly sometimes when using Interactive governor. If it doesn't stick for you then turn Frequency Lock on. Then check in the info tab that it's hitting the higher speed. Personally I'd recommend leaving the min speed on 300MHz. If you need constant high speeds, select the performance governor.

Yay sound control is working, thank you so much you're the best!

How to make this?
Hi AndroPlus,
I'm trying to figure out how one would go about building this boot.img that you've created.
What platform and compiler are you using?
Where are you getting sources the for the kernel? This file?
c9af6fc647060fb85dd646798453ec8f 23.0.A.2.105.tar.bz2
How do you construct boot.img from zImage + recovery?
Sorry if these are dumb questions.
Edit: never mind, I figured this out.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...evices/how-to-build-and-flash-a-linux-kernel/ contains most of the information I needed.
The arm version of gcc that ships with Ubuntu 14.04 worked fine - arm-none-eabi-gcc (4.8.2-14ubuntu1+6) - no need to track down any mystery binaries. I did have to make several modifications to the kernel source to get it to build. Interestingly, some of the cpufreq stuff contained code that was incorrect. Someone at Samsung needs to go look up what "sequence point" means.
The hardest part was figuring out how to turn the zImage + ramdisk into something I could boot.
This: https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/mkqcdtbootimg was the correct tool to use - again, no need to track down any mystery mkbootimg or dtbTool binaries.
Hope this is helpful to someone. As someone new to Xperia dev, I found most of the information out there worse than useless.
