[Q] CPU step on Semaphore?

Hi guys, some times ago I flashed Semaphore, but it haven't any CPU step higher than 1000 MHz. Can I have more CPU steps,like Devil, in Semaphore? (100-1400 MHz)
(Sorry for my bad english)

Download Semaphore Manager from the market. You can overclock using that app. Mind you, semaphore kernel can get glitchy at ~114% OC and up, so you might want to go with 110 and build gradually until you find a sweet spot...

Yeah, I know that, but with Live oc my limit is... 106 % :crying: I have tried every thing but I don't know why the CPU is so limited...

Heh, mine caps at 108%. It would be nice to "normally" oc to 1200mHz on semaphore. I could get 1296mHz with 108% like on Devil.

the "live oc" has better performance of "simple oc" (at equal overclocking), because "live oc" overclock all frequencies and not only the higher frequency.
But with "live oc" you can raise less the frequencies

The only limit is your device. If your CPU/GPU doesn't like OC - you have to live with it (or buy another I9000 :cyclops: )

Theoretically yes, but if you overclock BUS, your CPU, GPU, and RAM are OC'ed. On stock BUS is clocked at 200mHz. If you use LiveOC 110%, you overclock everything by 10% - GPU goes from 200mHz -> 220mHz, CPU from 1000mHz -> 1100mHz. That's why it's more unstable than normal OC.

Ah, that's new for me

You might be able to get a higher stable overclock with voltage increase; available in later versions of semaphore, but that's something you'd need some guidance doing, and of course there are the general risks of that.

Is there any Kernel with CPU OC functionality available?

Hello,
as mentioned in the headline, is there any CPU OC kernel available? I have only found GPU OC kernels but non with CPU OC capability.
Thank you for answer.

There is an update coming very soon, possibly today as he's announced everything's working. This new one will be fast as hell and everything will work as it should. The current alpha for stock is OK, just YouTube freezes and reboot just gets stuck so you need to pull battery, other than that its a solid kernel

1.7 is overkill, no app needs it. What is really needed is a kernel that uses cores better and doesn't cut the frequency when full quad is used. This one for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270308

Overclock GPU HTC One

Hi, I've installed ElementalX on my One and it allows a maximum GPU clock speed of 450 MHz, but I read on the Internet that Adreno 320 GPUs can reach frequencies of 500 or even 600 MHz... there is a way to enable those frequencies? Maybe a tweak or another kernel?

The s4 clocks all the way up to 627mhz via custom kernel. So. It's possible

There's a reason it isn't enabled. Don't even attempt this unless you want to melt the insides of your phone at worst case, or even in best case suffer from extreme heat and reduced battery life.

Man, heat isn't a problem for the One. HTC tests it at high temps. Mine for example is running at 2.16 GHz for a few months and I didn't have any problems at all... I reach high temps only when I play heavy games (max battery temp was 56.5 ℃)... The only important thing is that battery never reaches 60 ℃ which is the max safe temp for a Li-ion battery.

You have wrong information. Heat is a problem for all electronic devices. You will certainly shorten the life of the electronic components not only the battery if you keep them hot for extended periods. The reason the One has an aluminum case (besides aesthetics) is to help dissipate the heat from normal use and keep the device running for longer periods as well as extending the life of the battery.
Bumping up the max frequency doesn't mean the device is working at that frequency all the time. Specifically for a powerful device such as the One, it will only drain your battery faster.

Well I don't care of battery life... And the day I will notice problems I will go back to stock frequencies... So my question is: is there a way to OC the GPU to 500 or 600 MHz?

I will make a zip which does it okay? Do NOT complain when it blows up

Not necessarily. Faux oc'd the N4 GPU to 600mhz and no one made complaints due to the thermal throttle throttling the chip...QC and faux's implementations prevent excessive overheating.

Just for do some tests... And phone will not fry... The N4 and S4 have been OC'd to 600 MHz witouth any problems!
EDIT: I've tried to change the file but it resets to kernel value (450 MHz)... so the only solution is waiting for Matt's zip...
P.S.: Matt, can you make 4 zips? One for 500 MHz, one for 550 MHz, one for 600 MHz and one for 620 MHz? Or can you let me choose one of those 4 frequencies directly from a single zip? Thanks in advance.

Every phone reacts differently to overclocking but you seem pretty sure anyways keep us posted..

Matt can you also make a zip wich unlock a CPU frequency of 2.3 GHz? Now I'm on faux123 kernel and max frequency is 2106 MHz (on ElementalX was a bit higher, 2160 MHz)... So I want to try a CPU clock of 2.3 GHz and a GPU clock of 620 MHz... don't worry I keep temps monitored and I will downclock if phone gets unstable.
@shahkam: Sure, I'll keep you posted!

Hi,
It won't work with just a zip file, the GPU freq (like the CPU freq) is hardcoded in the kernel, if you want test an higher overclock you need to compile your own kernel... It won't work just by editing a file... Try by yourself modifying the value in the path you find LOL, and there is not only this path (/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/*** and a few others)...
The values you'll find in certain paths are just some values matching what was hardcoded in the kernel (for to do simple).
If it was too easy to just edit some files for overclock, why devs need to compile a kernel with overclock possibility???
If some GPU/CPU freq are not available in the kernel (by the kernel dev) you cannot set them without recompiling by yourself the kernel to add some extra GPU/CPU steps.
Plus the kernel devs here have tried GPU overclock above 450 Mhz and the result was worse performance, lag, etc... Something due to memory bandwitch or memory bottleneck... I don't remember exactly...
In fact the SIV can have higher GPU overclock with the same GPU as our but the "stuff" arround is not the same. Unless a dev find the solution.
But you'll never see GPU overclock in our One above 450 Mhz just by editing some files, trust me.

I want to try myself, if it works bad I already said that I will set the stock frequencies back. Anyway I think that Matt is going to prepare a flashable zip wich goes to replace the kernel files.

LOL, good luck!
In the path you find, for max_gpuclk (and find all the others paths related to the GPU clock, good luck here too ) change the value by yourself with a file explorer like Root Explorer (edit the file) it will do nothing!!! Same thing for the other values!!!
I think you don't understand what I wrote or how all the kernel stuff works...
You need to compile your own kernel or recompile the kernel... and add the available GPU freq you want, but it's not too easy as just add a 600 Mhz step when you developed your kernel, what about voltage, memory allocated, other config files needs to be modified to match all your modifications, etc...???
It's infinite more complicated than you think...

I know that the values cannot be changed by a file manager... but it was Matt who said that it's possible with the zip... If it isn't possible can you help me recompiling a kernel?

by flashable zip, I meant I was going to compile the kernel for you ^^ But yeah the S4 has DDR3 memory so that could be the 'bottleneck' mentioned. This would be a lot of effort for little result.

This +1000

This phone/CPU/GPU handles almost all content the Play Store can throw at it with ease. You may have slight FPS drops with the odd game, but you are not going to rewrite history gaining 4fps from a marginal over clock and even then you'd be better over clocking the GPU not the CPU anyway.
I agree with others. This obsession with Antutu scores is utterly pointless. And overclocks are a monumental waste of battery in the form of heat.
This obsession is almost as annoying as the folk that don't use any apps and wake their screen every now and then too increase screen on time, to then boast that they managed 12hours SOT.

That is false... The storage solution is what makes things Load quicker and what governor/io scheduler youre using. Over clocking is useless and trust me I know, I've over clocked every phone of mine until I realized all it does is cause instability, less battery life and more heating. The only viable over clocking is the GPU.

best custom ROM's for game performance

So here many custom ROM's
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-2/development/available-stock-custom-roms-mi-max-2-t3737523
Which of this the best for gaming? I don't care about my battery life or something else, only good optimization for games :laugh:
Also mb someone know how to tune Kernel Adiutor for gaming, is any guides or something else? i don't found any of this for Mi Max 2
It would be great, if u help

Without a custom Kernel, nothing much can be tuned in Kernel Adiutor to achieve higher performance in games. OC-ing the GPU and CPU would be probably the only solution to gain more FPS. All this ROMs are gonna perform similar with the same kernel.

optimization for games in kernel adiutor is actually pretty straight forward. just choose performance governor for both cpu and gpu and lock both to the highest possible clocks (cpu minimum and maximum 2016 mhz, gpu min and max 650 mhz). that way they wont be downclocking to save power and ull have max performance always
furthermore, u could change IO scheduler to deadline for faster loading times and disable core control (as well as temperature and vdd control, depending on whether theyre active by default) in thermal tab. just keep an eye on device temperatures, cuz ull be basically removing throttling measures for hardware safety. although i doubt this should be a problem with an soc like SD625 in such a large device, but still...better be safe than sorry

ok i just checked on my phone with LOS 14.1 installed. when u set min and max gpu frequency to 650 mhz and set perfomance profile the gpu will only downclock to 320 mhz if there is no load put onto it. if there is ANY load whatsoever (in my case a simple continuous finger swipe over the display) the gpu clock sticks to 650 mhz and stays there.
so no worries, uve unlocked ur SoC performance completely and ull get the most out of it during gaming
edit: btw, dont let the poll results fool you. most people just go with LOS because thats what they are accustomed to the most and because its been out the longest for mi max 2 as far as custom roms are concerned. so more people voting there doesnt mean its actually faster than other roms (likely that most people havent tried ALL roms, especially for gaming-specific purposes )
