Have you tried OCing higher? Or are you just keeping it at 1388 to be safe?

If you check my Utility I added an Overclock Install option. It also has links to a better video guide to overclocking.

Yeah i was running 1.4 stable for a little while, but after a while i noticed lag here and there so i just dropped it down to 1388 to be on the safe side. After loading the modules i use quickclock advanced to play with all the settings.

Hi phrir1, mattlgroff,
Which file should I download for Droid 4? I cannot see it was listed there but only saw Droid 3 only.
BTW, is it no problem to running on stock 2.3.6 rom ?
Million thx!
I kept to use 2.3.6 because of webtop 2.0

I installed the two zip from recovery, but in the ommand-line, I have no "overclock" directory under /proc/.
Anybody can use that desription?

On CM11 you can only use lucize's jbx kernel or dtrail1's jbx kernel to overclock, you're installing a bunch of things that shouldn't be used on CM11
I've been using stargo's CM11 with dtrail1's jbx kernel with the droid 4 overclocked/undervolted to 1.3ghz and GPU at 384mhz with good stability (certain settings like interactive govenor will make the device unstable though), lucize's kernel is based off dtrail1's kernel and should be more suited for our device.
I use KitKat 4.4.4 slimkat or CM11
and jbx kernel from lucize
to change cpu setting i use no-frills CPU or Trickstar MOD
but in this programs I can't go more then 1,3 GHz
from comand line I don't have /proc/overclock dir
where can I change proper CPU values ?
I only want to check if phone can work with bigger and to have few more point in Atutu :>

You have to use the MPU OC option to get above 1300mhz. Disable "Battery Friend" first otherwise it won't allow you to adjust the MPU setting.
CPU frequency is multiplied by the MPU, adjusting it will effect all CPU steps much like overclocking frontside bus on a PC, stock is 100, so think of the 1300mhz setting as a 13x multiplier, 300mhz as a 3x multiplier, and so on.
A good, easily achievable OC is 108 MPU
100 MPU x 13 = 1300mhz
108 MPU x 13 = 1404mhz
100 MPU x 3 = 300mhz
108 MPU x 3 = 326mhz
and so on... much beyond this you have to fiddle with the voltages a lot otherwise you will get random reboots, I found I needed a MPU voltage of 1420 (1.420v) to get 1404mhz completely stable. The other voltages are pretty generous and I have found they can be undervolted significantly while running 1.4ghz+.
With the phone at 1495mhz I managed to get just shy of 14,000 in Antutu but it was not stable because of voltages... roughly 1450mhz should be safe for a daily driver while maintaining good battery life and low heat once lowest possible stable voltages are worked out, maybe more, still testing it all myself.

Thanks! 400 Points more on first try and still testing.
Could you share yours daily use cpu parameters ?
For example
1300 x MPU 108 1420
1100 x MPU 108 1380
.....
or just print screens from trickstar mod or any other cpu app.
I'm curies about battery level too.
Other thing on mys Milestone2 i have only 4 CPU Frequency step with custom changeable example: originaly was 1000,800,600,300 best for my 1200,900,500,300
On Droid 4 apps shows that I have more then 10 on Lucid Kernel
Does cpu governors use all of that steps ?
If there are only few of them can I and should I change those steps ?

These are my current settings. I'm still working on them because I adjust them then use the phone for 2 full days / charges to test the stability, not every stepping is adjusted completely down - I adjusted/tested the middle voltages in groups and only adjusted the top/bottom voltages individually. There's no quick way to test them because they'll test perfectly in a CPU stress test app then within 5min of browsing the device will reboot. These particular settings have been stable for a few days. I could not get even 1443mhz stable what so ever, even after adding +75 to all voltage steps, so maybe 1.4ghz is closer to a realistic limit.
Also the voltages on this device/kernel seem to have a limit of how low you're allowed to set it. I'm not sure if this is an artificial limit or a limit of the hardware, but 952 is the lowest voltage available for 300mhz even though the device could likely undervolt far more at this frequency. Since 100 and 200 also use the same 952 voltage, there is zero point in setting the minimum frequency to anything lower than 300, as they all use the same voltage.
I'm not allowed to post a link directly because I don't have 10 posts yet (this rule is stupid), but here you go: hxxp://i.imgur.com/01xb0Wp.png
The CPU govenor uses all steps provided you're using ktoonservative. I found I couldn't use most other governors because they would freeze the device (ie: switching CPU governor Interactive would freeze the device, switching the I/O governor from deadline to sioplus freezes, etc). There is lots to adjust in the ktoonservative governor for performance/battery life.
I'm currently using these settings right now with good results as a balance between battery life and performance:
up_threshold 80
up_threshold_hotplug 85
down_threshold 30
down_threshold_hotplug 25
sampling_down_factor 10
sampling_rate 35000
sampling_rate_screen_off 30000
freq_step 1
disable_hotplugging 0
freq_step decides how much the CPU ramps up, a setting of "1" ensures it uses all frequencies. If you use "20" it'll increase the frequency to the closest 20% each time instead of closest 1%. Set to 100 and the governor works identical to the "ondemand" govenor (ie: CPU will go straight from lowest to highest speed). The thresholds have to do with how much % the CPU utilization has to be at before it will increase or decrease the frequency, so lower numbers can increase responsiveness by having the CPU increase it's speed quicker.

but the battery isn't so good I can only dream about 2 days
It is how your say benchmark pass but open some app and chance for reboot is 50/50
Is there a way to see current voltage ?
Because phone shouldn't work on 1404Mhz x 1302v and i think that I miss something.

I am 3 days uptime on these current settings at 111 MPU with heavy use:
Code:
hxxp://i.imgur.com/17iPAZL.png
The phone rebooting is generally caused by voltage being too low. 1302 is way too low for 1404mhz and is probably why you're getting the reboots. The "1302" value translates to "1.302v" which is a perfectly normal CPU voltage, but it's really low and I can't imagine that being stable for you since I need "1390" for 1404. There isn't a way of checking the current voltage other than looking at the current frequency.
I have not further reduced the 1332 and 1221mhz settings yet as I found reducing them was causing my issues getting above 109 MPU. Probably in a week or two so of use and adjustments I'll post my final tuned settings after I squeeze all I can out of it, I just require a few days of solid uptime to verify stability because I can't seem to find a stress testing program that ensures total stability. it's just that I test each setting over a period of days. My settings might not work for you since all CPUs aren't identical in quality, but it should give you a ballpark of settings.
If you want to improve battery further try looking at adjusting the automatic screen brightness, I'm currently using these settings, although you could easily further reduce brightness:

hey guys, just imported 2 droid 4s to the uk.
an amazing device still today i think.
Can anyone suggest how to get mpu oc to stick after reboot? It always seems to reset to 100.
The frequency oc sticks but drops to 1300 due to mpu not sticking.
Hello, I tried searching but didn't find a thread about this. Sorry if there is one that I didn't find. I'm playing around with SetCPU and trying to figure out optimal settings. I know its a matter of preference but I wanted to see what everyones opinion is and what they have theirs set as. I have:
CheckROM Revo noteHD v5
Abyss Kernel
On Demand governor set
Max 1500MHz
Min 200MHz
I want a happy medium between battery life and performance.
I set a profile for screen off to min 200 and max 500.
I've been reading mixed reviews as to whether or not lower speeds actually increase battery life. I originally had the min at 50 but increased it to 200.
Another question is what would be a good temperature to set the temp profile to? Not sure when the phone begins to get too hot.
Thanks in advance
I used FM kernel with ondemand with min of 500Mhz and max of 1400Mhz with 2nd core always enabled, didnt notice that much of a battery loss.
go for rocket rom v22 with abbys note 4.2 kernel
set cpu min 50 max 800
on demand (if u want both cores active)
abbysnote (if u want single core running and 2nd to be used only if required otherwise 2nd would be off)
i got normal usage batt backup of 3 days least
I have just updated to Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable on my P990 Optimus 2x (Fido Canadian version).
When I go to the CPU settings I cannot change the min/max frequencies or select a CPU governor.
I have done some research and found kernels like Vork and FauxDS, but they are for 7.1 nightlies so I am not sure if it is a good idea to flash them.
What I am most afraid about is the possibility of getting the black screen of death while my phone sleeps (it happened once already but it stopped after I changed to a different charger and reflashed CM7.2).
The reason why I want to change the settings is that there tends to be scrolling lag (my old HTC Desire Z was faster!) and there is also a bit of lag waking up the phone (lockscreen does not appear instantly when pressing power button).
Does anyone know what is the best kernel I can flash to enable frequency/governor changes in CM7.2 stable? I would prefer not to change the ROM if possible as I am kinda nooby in comparison to the XDA community in general. Thanks for any help.
I suggest you try Etana kernel. It has the things you need. Also use CPU master to set profiles and minimum CPU frequencies. I used something like min freq 352 MHz when asleep (don't worry doesn't drain battery) and I had no lag whatsoever.

Are you referring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427646 ?
If so, do I just flash the zip off the sd card using ClockworkMod? And what are the differences between lite and DS?
Thanks.
All right, after reading, I determined I don't need LOC/HOC/DS as I don't intend to raise the max frequency, I just want to raise min frequency.
Installed the Etana kernel via CWM and it works. I can raise minimum frequency, though I still cannot see a governor option! Any idea how to get my governor setting back?
You can use CPU master and set some profiles. It's not exactly the same as governors but it's as close as it gets and it gets the job done pretty well. As far as I remember there were two governors for O2X - powersave and performance. I've always used performance and I can't tell if there's a HUGE difference in battery usage. I guess performance utilizes higher CPU frequencies when the device is asleep and somehow scales faster to even higher frequencies when needed to. But this might be complete crap as I am not too much into how CPUs work...
And please use the THANKS button (right below the user name), it kind of forum etiquette and it keeps people motivated to help others. Thank the Etana developer too.

Hi guys
I recently flashed zeus v7.06 (coming from official ICS, I did all the 3 wipes but NO factory reset). The only change I made in 'zeus tweaker' was that I set min frequency to 200MHz and max Frequency to 800MHz. I monitor cpu stats via BetterBatteryStats app.
Now the only problem is that when the screen is on and I do regular stuff like writing a text message..., most of the time CPU works at the maximum frequency which is 800MHz causing battery drain very fast. I tried every governer in zeus tweaker but the same thing happens. I did no other change, no voltage tweaks, ram tweaks or I/O schedule.
Is it normal or there's sth wrong? Because I remember from older versions of zeus roms that when I set min freq to 200, then most of the time CPU used to work at min freq but now it works vice versa.
Thank you very much.
dear modders
i just want to say i overclocked my htc one m7 cpu from 1.7ghz to 2.1 GHZ
with a custom kernel called ElementalX-m7-22.3-Sense
is this save can the phone run this without any stability issue's or shall i downclock it to 1.9
i use M7_Sense7_artmod_10.0 rom Lolipop 5.0.2 with sense 7 cause this is the only one without any bugs like no sound when you got called or sms sound's no boot sounds
i fixed my boot sound anyway on this rom
so my question is wont my phone be fried by this overclock cause i saw in the aroma installer that it can be overclock till 3 GHZ
greets Rubenownz
Overclocking the CPU in any system usually results in 2 main things:
a. Significantly shorter battery life.
b. heating issues.
sometimes (less frequently) you might experience a crash and fc here and there.
So yeah, it won't be all rainbows and butterflies.
PS: you probably won't reap the benefits of your now overclocked CPU without an app like no frills CPU or kernel Aduitor. Your device's performance isn't just about its CPU frequency, there's the min Max frequency your system is allowed to utilize, the CPU governor, and the I/o scheduler..
and
PPS: don't and I repeat DO NOT go anywhere near 3 GHz.
good luck.
I'm runnimg 2.1 Ghz OC for over 2 years without any issues. I would like to note that 2.1 Ghz on Elemental was not too stable for me, so I ran that on 2.0 Ghz. Anyway - i don't have any issues with my kernel, no overheating, battery lasts 100% same as stock frequency, no reboots, everything works as it's ment to work. If you really want to run on that frequency, make sure you set your voltage table to match your CPU clocks. Undervolting is not a good idea on such high clocks, so you might want to raise your voltages for higher frequencies a bit

yeah i could raise also min clocks might turn that a noch up
just was wondering if it was possible without any harms
