Just Root & Overclock OB : possible/impossible - Why?

This is a question-come-guidance request to the senior/experienced members.
> Is it possible for OB to simply just root and then Overclock?
> If not, then why?
--
I mean, in some devices, after usual rooting, we can use applications like SetCPU or similar to set the CPU frequency and voltage. But while browsing some websites, i came to know that it is not possible in case of OB due to some chipset issue or something like that. Is it true? Or there's any other reason? .... I will really appreciate if someone with knowledge can give a little technical info about this.

first of all ,you need init.d script support
you can flash quasar kernel to solve it , and then ,write some code into init.d
done

one of my friend said that he underclocked his cpu with this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.antutu.CpuMasterFree&hl=en
he is using rooted stock rom. without quasar kernel.
is it possible?

just like you said,he's underclock,not overlock
we all can set lower frequence via setcpu or other applications,but can not overlock

Thanks for the replies. I am quite pleased to know we can at least underclock P970 easily.
I mean, i needed to guide one of my friend who is no much knowing of custom ROMs, and i culdn't risk to advise him for NOVA. But, this underclocking is still easy and sufficient, since all he was worried about was to have a long battery life. And i just hope, even without the useful tweaks of NOVA v8, a simple underclocking can improve sufficient battery life. .
( if any other "not-so-much-geek-and-easy-to-understand/employ" ways you can suggest me to extend battery life, i shall appreciate. )

[Q] Cyanogen + Iodak + Trickster MOD

Hi guys,
I am not new to using custom ROMs but I would like to understand a bit more about optimizing my beautiful phone to my needs.
I am running the latest stable CM and just today flashed Iodak kernel 0.7
I understand with using Trickster MOD I can do a lot tweaking - but I don't understand most of what I can do there and whether it would actually make things "better" for me.
Here's my request:
Can you tell me how I should set parameters in Trickster and explain at least in short why?
I do not game on my phone, I use it mostly for social interaction and navigation, therefore I suppose I don't need max power, I am rather interested in good battery times while not loosing the smoothness of use.
Thanks in advance.

Your needs is same as mine...What ive done using trickster mod is changed Governor/Scheduler..On SmartDimmer, Disable FSync, Undervolt all frequency...As undervolting values varies with your usage...As mine, i lower down most of the freq above 1000Mhz and below that freq, i undervolt as medium value as i can, to be exact, 25mv each...
As Governor, read up about each governor behavior and find the one that most suited you, same as Scheduler...
I'd prefer Interactive+Sio...Hope this helps

True, but the description was "general chat, tips & tricks, etc" and I thought that pretty much hit it.
Sorry if I thought wrongly.

If you have a question, always in Q&A if its a small rom/kernel issue or bug report that's usually wecome on the respective thread as long as its relevant

[Q] Battery life approximations / extension suggestions on custom kernels

Hi all.
I would like to ask whether someone can point me to any approximations on how battery drains on custom kernels (thus probably utilizing under/over-clock) compared to stock kernel battery drain? The point of my question is, what is better - custom or stock - for battery life and to what extent / in what usage scenarios it is better.
Also I'd be glad if anyone can share some efficient SetCPU profiles (combinations of min/max freq, governor, i/o scheduler)
In my case I'm using XzKernel 23 and I'll be glad to share details of my battery draining details and my suggested SetCPU profiles if anyone wants it for comparison with his own.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Kindest regards

M7 Undervolt

Hey guys wondering if anyone has their htc one m7 undervolted at the moment and what voltage they are running at. Also what does everyone here recommend for governors and schedules for similar to stock performance with best possible battery life. Thanks!

look in the kernel threads for this information

Thank you, I already went through a couple forums for kernels compatible to aosp lollipop but as the forums were newer I could not find much in terms of settings. Are their any forums you particularly recommend?

Its not because someone is having good results at X volts that you will have the same. Every chip is slightly different and you should try yourself by reducing in small increments untils the phone is not stable. Then you know the minimum voltage your chip can deal with. Add a safety margin to that and you're pretty much done.

If you want it similar to stock then Id suggest to use the interactive gov.

Alright thanks for the info. I have been undervolting cpu chips since intel released sandy bridge so Im well aware of the silicone lottery and how to adjust voltages, however im just looking for a relative range of what to expect. Also how do you go about stress testing on a phone Ive downloaded a couple apps but Im questioning their reliability. In regards to the interactive gov, for some reason whenever I select this gov my phone freezes and reboots. It may be an issue with the kernel but no other people have reported it, all other governors seem to work fine, so therefore for the time being I cant use them governor. I have been using the "badass" governor for a couple days but found it a little laggy so im trying "smartassv2" atm.

On the hunt for the best CM12.1 battery life

Hey guys!
What can we do to maximize our battery life on CM12.1? From what I've read, there isn't a non-xposed equivalent to amplify or greenify. I'm running the most up to date kernel from baybutcher. If we can put together a few good strategies, maybe we can put together a small guide to help everyone in the community improve their Turbo experience. I haven't tested anything yet, as I thought I would get input from you guys
Things I've considered:
Undervolt?
Non-xposed wakelock handler?
Job scheduler? (Macro-droid, Tasker, Llama)
