[q] gingerdx overclocking

i installed gdx v009 and overclocked it and set the setcpu to 729 Mhz - 122 Mhz. i'm having some trouble sometimes my phone just automatically reboot by it self... is there a way to fix this? or should i uninstall overclock and run it on stock ram. have anyone of you tried this kind of setup? any answers/reply or comments are welcome. please. thanks in advance.

Try lowering your Overclock.
I've heard that some people had reboot problems with OC (but not only in this ROM).
Mine is 122-691Mhz with GingerDx.008 and its okay.

Realy? What seems to be the problem on my unit.... maybe i should set my setcpu setting the same way you did... how about supercharger script have you tried? I brick my phone twice trying that supercharger.

Nope. I didn't try to use supercharger.
I've read that when we want to OC, we should try the different CPU speeds gradually.
Increase a bit and then see if the phone handles it... then increase a bit more... when the reboots or other problems start, we know which frequence we should use.
But the frequence is not the same for every CPUs... The phone is the same, but not every CPUs handle the same... We can be lucky and get it to 800Mhz without problems... but not everyone has that lucky.

Good for you, now i reduce the speed and set it to 729 mhz still under observation i hope this will fix the problem...

Hi all,
any idea why I get no options to set min. and max. CPU frequencies in CPU settings? I am using GingerDX v011 and had the same problem in v010.
I can open the "Max CPU frequency" option, but it is empty with no available frequencies to choose...
Thank you

For using something exactly like supercharger, use the stuff in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212396&page=14
Each phone can OC to a different max frequency, for example I can't OC to 825 MHz but I know some people can.

I believe GingerDx does not ship with the X8Overclock module...

Hello:
I wanna know: is it possible to do overclock in gingerDX-v011 ?
I found a option but they are blocked

yes it is possible but you need to download X8overclock v004. you will find this in DX's signature, just click the link read the guide download and stick it on your phone where he tell's you to. then go back to W/E it is you use to OC then the option's aint blocked anymore.
Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486 click that go to bottom of one of dx's post's in his signature click the X8overclock v004 link. FOLLOW instruction's. DONE
Hope i help'd
If so please Click " THANKS "

Im on gingerdx v018 with undervolt modules(stock kernel), when I try to overclock my phone, it become very unstable(very laggy).. Do I have to remove the underclock module? If so can I just remove the module from the module folder.. thanks in advance!

As far as I know undervolt module causes phone instability when it's overclocked, try to remove that module (undervolt) and see what will happen. You can remove just by removing it from module folder and (I'm not sure but) you have to also remove line from hw_config which contains that module.

I am also using GingerDX overclocked at 710Mhz with undervolt but no problem for me so far

[Q] is there a rom that can be stable overclock on the 806 frequency?

I use gingerdx v12 and can sometimes restart itself (unstable)

Look the best of your processor oc.
If you get reboot at 806, it mean your device can't oc to 806
If you bestest overclock, i mean like your best oc is 768, that mean you only can oc from 0 Mhz (??) -- > 768 Mhz
Not connect with your rom!
Hit thanks if i helped you!
Edit: Also wrong thread section, it must at Q&A

Post questions in q&a section.
Each phone has different maximum overclock frequency. The rom doesn't matter, the phone does.

processor might be working harder,i'm affraid overclocking my phone in 800mhz..
i think oc in 710 should be nice and stable but batery drains more faster

Although there might be a relationship between ROM and Overclock Stability, repeated test on various ROMS still gets me the same OC max of 748Mhz.
Please note that overclockability of the CPU depends on the CPU. Not all CPU's of the same make are equal. the design of our X8 called for a 600Mhz CPU clock, so it goes that it will be and always be stable at 600 Mhz. However go more than that and you have no guarantee at which Max Clock you will get. If you could go to 800 without FC and/or reboots then consider yourself very lucky.

for me.. i can't go far.. im using GingerCruzt.. and it has an option on overclocking.. once i checked the overclocked my phone reboots always..

I can overclock with the Gingercruzt v7.3 oc module to 806Mhz, and it's not restart. Doxianh module i can max 768Mhz

I can confirm OC @806Mhz with GC OC module (instead of DX's), running on MiniCM7 2.0.7...stable.

hmm when i using gingerDX v11, i tried overclock to 806Mhz and it stable for a while, but in 5 minutes i think, my device get reboot...
all roms can stable at 787Mhz in my device.. no reboot no force close... just stable and smooth, but battery drain

[Q] Min. CPU speed won't go down to 100MHz

Current ROM: [ROM][4.0.4] RemICS v1.2 (Team Remics) [17.06.2012]
The min. CPU speed won't go down to less than 200MHz, this problem have occoured to me in other ROMS also.
Using other apps than the internal ROM CPU controll does not work.
Have anyone else solved this problem?
I see now that both 100MHz and 200MHz is 950 mV, maybe this something to do with my problem?

Are you using stock kernel or any other?

Using the kernel provided in the Remics' rom, used the kernel cleaning script before install.
The kernel is NMICS. That's what I found out in the Remics thread

Well, I can only recommend u to try some other kernels eg. devil, semaphore, glitch...

This is not a problem.. in mnics and semaphore the min cpu is 200 mhz when gpu active... but it goes to 100 mhz when gpu inactive.... use application cpu spy for more details

Hi,
Could you tell me how to set the CPU max frequency limit, please?
I've already try with tasker own CPU control task and even with shell script (i.e. echo frequency > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq) and it doesn't work at all
I'm on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and with co-core 8.2
Thanks in advance

Don't know if this is trivial but...
Use an app like No-frills CPU, it should work

I've been using PegasusQ as recommended. But with CoCore 8.2 after the first screen off/on PegasusQ disable cpu1 and only one single cpu is running all the time (in this case the cpu0). It can be verified with next shell script:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
0​
I though that PegasusQ will enable the cpu1 after the screen is turned on again or during high use but it seems that its not the case which means that I'm using my phone as single core processor all the time.
Then I decided to use smartassv2 as both cpus are running.

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..

It's an app. Nothing to do only follow the guides in the app. Sometimes you need the correct kernel for resetting... try it out.
