Overclocking htc one m7 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

ok mate
yeah i could raise also min clocks might turn that a noch up
just was wondering if it was possible without any harms
there are now on 384mhz 1 core is always active and 3 others are sleeping aid64 tells me
the temps are now 29 celcuis for 2.1 ghz

Best settings/frequencies for OC/UV Beater?

Hi there,
I'd like to overclock my IncS to 1,3 Ghz...
But I don't know the right settings.
Can you please tell me the right setting for best performance (e.g. oc to 1,3ghz) and best battery life?
thanks
does anybody know?
Set max to your desired, min to the lowest it will go and scaling to smartass.
I'm OCd to over 1.4 and no issues... UCd to 192 with smartassv2 governor
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
the best performance I have experienced in my INC is when I put oc / uv beater to the following:
wake gov: ondemand
wake mins: 245000
wake max: 1228800
Sleep gov: Conservative
my sleep: 245000
Sleep max: 691200
when I take a test in antutu nenchmark for I the following result.
score: 2729
If I clocked lower or higher, the result is lower
Overclocking depends entirely on your chip.
You should use whatever governor suits your needs.
I personally use ondemandx which speeds up on demand (as the name implies), conservative tries to keep the frequency as low as possible, interactive uses max frequency if min isn't enough, smartass is an improvement of interactive that keeps performance high while improving battery life (meaning there's little reason to use interactive).
You can find it in more detail here.
So basically, smartass if you want performance, conservative if you want battery life, ondemand if you want something in between. In reality though, I don't think you'll see much difference between them and I've seen no difference in idle power draws, so if you don't use your phone all that much, they won't be that different.
Once you've picked a governor, you should set min speed to 122000 (no reason to use any higher) and max to whatever you want. Your phone will probably crash or suffer from bad performance if you go over 1.5 GHz, but it varies a lot. Might happen even earlier.
Once you've found your desired performance level, you should start tweaking your voltages. You can do that under the UV profile. In there, you can adjust voltages at different speeds and the phone will automatically use them at whatever speed it's at. You should undervolt to increase battery life, so start by reducing all by 25 or 50 and then temp apply. Use it like that for a couple of hours and if it doesn't freeze, you're probably stable. You can either stop here or spend many hours tweaking it further, but that'll take many hours to get right.
This is my setting

In my opinion, and I'm sure many others', Virtuous daemon is the best by far.
It comes standard in a lot of roms, and using the OC/UV beater

it would have the best performance. I've set mine similar to yours and with this method, you can set the phone to underclock when battery reaches a low level

[Q] Optimal CPU settings

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

[Q] Kernel for CM7.2 Stable that allows OC and governor change

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.

As for now CPU Master in his profiles let's you choose governor. We have only 2. Power save nd Performance.

Note stays on 800Mhz when playing Asphalt 7, even when min = 1.6ghz

As above.
i'm using Half illusion ICS Rom, with anidroid kernel.
used better battery stats to track cpu usage while playing the asphalt 7 game.
initial settings were
min 200
max 1.4ghz
governor = interactiveX
after i realized that the game hits a ceiling @ 800mhz, i forced it to run faster
min 1.6ghz
max 1.6ghz
governor = ondemand / interactiveX
the phone runs 1.6ghz when at my home screen.
however the game still runs @ 800mhz only. It's somehow laggy at the start of the race and when loading (u can see the graphics stutter quite a bit).
is there any way i can get my Note to run at full speed whenever I'm running a gfx-intensive game?
i closed all apps except batt stats to make sure it's not RAM shortage that's causing the lag ingame.
Have you tried using the governor "On demand"? Also try flashing HydraCore kernel.. Maybe that fixes it without changing governor..
go thru this thread and choose the appropriate CPU governer

Phone is too hot so It's uderclocking to 800MHz. It is impossible to do without raising max core temperature in the kernel. Stock 1,4GHz is marketing gambit.

point is, no matter which governor i choose, it sticks to 800mhz.
out of few hours of stuff, only 1minute stays on 1.4/1.6ghz.

Means it takes 1 minute until the CPU gets too hot after starting he game and the kernel decides to throttle the CPU frequency to 800 MHz maximum.
is that even possible
Change your kernel

not really. as mentioned that 1 minute is probably when i'm scrolling around the homescreen and navigating menus.
what are the kernels that can work on the half illusion ROM other than the default CM9/anidroid? hydracore works too?
I just have to flash through CWM and reboot right?
(just want to make sure, because i know it's gonna be hard-bricked if i do the wrong thing.)

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.

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.
