I saw that they have SetCPU working with the Hummingbird in the Nexus S; I was wondering if this means there is a possibility that SetCPU overclock support may be coming for the Captivate as well?
it must be supported by kernel...
It already works?? But most of us use voltage control and you have to flash the right kernel
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
All the OC-supporting kernels I saw said not to use SetCPU...
Thread moved to Q&A.
Only person that would know that answer for sure would be supercurio as he's doing the kernel for both the i9000 and the Captivate.
I'd suggest going to his i9000 thread or checking his twitter to find out.
set cpu works but is not recomended with i9000 kernels though i dont know why. on the threads for unhelpfuls kernels there was talk about it messing up the interneal clock causing the time on texts to be off but that happened to me with the stock kernel and no use of set cpu when using set cpu the problem was no better or worse, therewas also non specific talk of it not playing nice with our phones.
i havent tried it on an i9000 kernel because there is no use for it. the voltage control app is capable of setting the max clock speed. set cpu could still be used for profiles i guess but i never saw the need for a profile, if you are running such a fine line that stability is effected by heat and charging status you might want a little less overclock. over/under clocking has very little effect on battery life do to cpu scaling. under clocking just makes it take longer to get tasks done keeping the cpu from sleeping, really not as big an effect on battery life as you'd expect. so that leaves you with the governor settings which our kernels dont support very well, you can try different kernels with different governor settings built in. perhaps the aosp kernels do better. i dont know becasue there are too many problems with cyanogen mod and the gingerbread port right now.
As mentioned it has worked for some time. But we've been recommended not to use it. I'd love to know why just out of curiousity.
Hi,
I've been recently playing some Dungeon Defenders on my SGS and well it is still sort of choppy when under stress. What bugs me is the fact that some people (with the same phone) claim to be having a clear lag-less game experience.
I've tried to switch ROMs and went from 2.1 stock eclair, trough 2.2.1 stock EU to latest Darkys 8.0 (with voodoo enabled). I have to say that there was some improvment, but it still has a long way to go.
Now, as Im looking for better gaming experience, I would like to ask if there is better ROM (not that I wouldn't be satisfied with this one though ) gaming-wise.
I also noticed, when running Quadrant Advanced (now getting 1350-1650 which is wierd. I mean 300 difference between two runs ??) that my CPU was, at the time, running at 400MHz with minimum frequency set as low as 100MHz, which seems ridiculous to me. I mean I know that CPU frequency changes in accordance with how much stress are we putting on it, but isn't it possible that even under stress my CPU runs "slower" ?
I would love to somehow improve my phone but as I already have voodoo in place, the only way to do so would be to overclock CPU right ? Or am I missing some other way to improve my phone ?
If Im not, than how safe is the overclocking ?
what would you suggest ?
Thanks everyone for your answers !!!
btw, Im sorry if I misplaced this message !
Uhmm, I can't advice you about the lag. I don't find it choppy playing Dungeon Defenders. Everything is smooth sailing. But it is safe to overclock. There might or might not be stability issues with your phone. Every phone varies. Like mine, I could get max OC to 1.3GHZ and then the phone freezes but I have friends who can OC to 1.6GHZ.
I don't recommend you to overclock though, I have some freezes in game (gameloft games especially) when OCed to 1.2GHZ.
Hi all!
After being for a long time a neopeek.com thread only,i've choosen to post the kernel here too..
Please note that i'm using codesourcery's toolchain 9-2010
If the kernel fails at booting
Please check this startup and this haret
Please change
Code:
set INITRD_OFFSET 0xSOMETHING
to
Code:
set INITRD_OFFSET 0xA00000
in startup.txt
If you don't have the line in startup,add it,it must be anywhere before "boot"

CHANGELOG
V12
642200 MHz now runs with 200 Mhz AXI and AHB clocks
Fixed a small issue with AXI and AHB clocks,them weren't set properly
PLL clock is now mantained after panel blank-unblank
V11
Added some scaling steps,642200 MHz and 100800 MHz
Last frequence(642200) runs off PLL3,making a small speed bost
AXI and AHB are clocked at 160 MHz for PLL3,when making it higher the phone became unresponsive and slow
Default governor is On demand if you don't use my new rootfs
Kernel uses now 642200 as default max frequency
CIFS is back
V(R) is now default I/O scheduler,however you can always go back to No-op
Worked a bit on Kovksy battery meter,should be a bit more responsive now
V10
EXPERIMENTAL,Topaz should boot now
Kovsky battery fix,now is being more precise
Reverted to the old way to handle clock,doesn't bring more performance,could make the battery last a bit more
V9
EXPERIMENTAL,EXT4 support
Kovsky battery fix,now is being read properly
CIFS is being built as a module
No-Op I/O scheduler
Small but useful change in the way cpu handles clock
V8
Partially fixed kovsky battery meter
Now battery discharges and charges,is just bad calibrated
DISCLAIMER:
If your phone(or SD-CARD) burns,explodes,or does unexpected things when using my kernel i take no responsability.
BUG LIST
Camera not working on X1,that's a common issue,pheraps it's time to backport from alex's .35
Class 6 and above sd-cards don't work well on blackstone
Bundle
Since ext3 is bringing good results and since everyone is saying good things about it
I've decided to make it more noob friendly.

well, I've tested your V10 Rom with an EXT2 rom which is SenseDroid V9 and it's amazing
but two issues:
1. Wifi doesn't seem to work for some reason even when turned on in winmo
2. There is this weird sound that comes from the speaker every few seconds
Other than that ... The kernel is great and fast and I love it ...
I hope I have helped and I'm sorry I'm new to all of this and I'm trying to learn as much as I can ... I hope I don't bother you with my questions and reports
Hello Midnight,
nice to see this kind of topic here, I think many X1 users didn't find it at neopeek's site in Blackstone, Topaz (etc) section. Hope you will get better X1 feedback here.
I've tested V9 and V10 kernels on Jerrytan's Honeydroid with EXT3. I think both have slightly higher battery consumption than old Ygge's Turbo kernel.
Battery reading is still in both kernels literally "jumping" around the right value and it is changing several times per minute. But in V10 it seems a little bit better.
And as it was already said there is a strange sound comming from phone speaker in V10, when phone network is used, like when you put phone near some speaker.
I didn't tested wifi.
Thanks for your work and good luck in further development.

Is the speaker bug present with xdandroid kernels?
Wi-fi worked with V9,so something is wrong build side..
I dunno about the Xdandroid kernel as I have never used it ... I just downloaded the files and over wrote them on a Turbo kernel and changed the start-up file to yours ...
The speaker just does a sound close to the one when u put ur phone next to the speakers like it was said ... but it's coming from the speaker of the phone itself ...
Well, I'm gonna wait for Jerrytan's new EXT3 Rom ... hopefully this week and I'll further test your kernel and give u more feedback ... thanks for your efforts
I've never used xdandroid kernels too. But the speaker sound is messy only in V10, in my case V9 was fine in this matter.
And I forgot to mention that the phone speaker is always on...
WOW!!!Tnx dear Midnight for this awesome release.........
I'll replace it with V9 ASAP
and one question.....randomly,when I press my X1's power button to check the clock or sth,My device screen get back and it dies,I forced to reset my device by pressing the reset key to make this issue solved..........
Is it solved in this Kernel??

I've not seen any SODs recently..
I don't know if this helps, but:
The sound is active when data connection (EDGE/GPRS) is used. It stops right after a phone call and the speaker is off for a while. But it starts again after a while, maybe 2-3 minutes and the speaker is on again.
I don't know if this is kernel related, but i can't recieve mms messages. The truth is, that I didn't test this with other kernels cause I don't usually use MMS.
I've also tried V9 ... the hizzing sound is less frequent but it's always on when I'm using internet mobile as mentioned before ... V9 is very fast and stable. with an EXT3 rom it was working amazing ... I think it uses a bit more battery than the Turbo kernel but with the option to charge from Android itself ... I don't mind that as I mostly carry a charger around if I'm going out for long ...
also, there's a second of black screen after you press the power button ... the hizzing sounds stops once the screen is off ...
The other only problem I see so far the battery meter but u are already working on that in V10 ... Thanks so much for the great efforts

Hey dear friend,tnx for ur reports....
But I hear hizzing when I'm not using internet too!!
I have pressed the power button several time to sleep and wake up my device to check the hizzing....no changes!
I say tnx dear Midnight again
super fast and stable.....But the battery drains so fast for me,maybe 5 6 hours(in less uses than normal use)
speaker hizzing,and still I have to turn speaker on for incoming call to hear my friend voice[I don't know how this issue is solved for somebodies]

I don't have data connection,so i can't test this..
I can't see why this bug is present..
about battery drain,uhm..,trying to fix it..
I get an incoming call....that was OK....strange..
seems that it sometime happens.....
tnx Mr boss
Thanks so much for replying ... I hope all these issues I report don't bother you ... I'm just trying to help improve this kernel
another issue I realized is that sometimes when the screen sleep for about an hour, it doesn't seem to wake up and when I slide the keyboard I see the lights when means it's working but the screen never wakes up ... is there a way to solve this? this testing with an EXT3 rom and V9 of your kernel

Panel collapse doesn't work as it should,and i guess that the CPU throttling isn't working well either
Can anyone tell me if this battery life is nice?
15 seconds of Wi-Fi,1 hour of games,3 or 4 10 minutes calls,30 texts made the battery go from more or less 80(Can't remember the exact value from wm) to 50 in android in 4 hours?
EDIT:Can anyone with the speaker bug provide me dmesg and logcat when you hear that sound?
I recharge my phone after about 7 hours[78% to 20% and then It got off]
that was not bad for an android ROM for me,But u lost just 30% for 4 hours of hard working :-o ......I mean gaming and voice calling and texting....But my phone was just in standby and I seldom used it.......maybe about 30Mins
well, this battery usage sounds good ... 4 hours with using the phone and 30% only sounds good ... this means the phone can last for about 12 hours when fully charged ... but could u please test it with more wifi usage as this will test the battery more as u know how android likes to be connected to the internet all the time whether wifi or 3G ... but 1 hour of games should also test the battery ... so, I guess that sounds good ... great job man
about the dmesg and logcat ... I hope someone with experience can help with that ... perhaps we will get more feedback when Jerrytan tests it or makes his SenseDroid an EXT3 Rom, cuz many people use that Rom which will provide more testing for the kernel ... I probably can't help cuz I don't even know what these mean, let alone get them I'm sorry ... also, I'm gonna be using winmo more for the time being with an old EXT2 Rom sometimes as I have too much studying to do ... so, I wish I can help, I'm sorry ...
but in 3 weeks time, I'll be done and hopefully do my best to help with everything ... Thanks so much for the great efforts

I don't have 3G,wifi still uses a lot of battery,I don't think it will last more than 2h with wifi on..
I'm going to upload the kernel..
my wifi was off today,except that for 10 mins that I would check something on internet........
BTW,If my wifi be turn on and I don't use it[just it be connected to my modem]it will drain my battery so fast??
u meant a new kernel,ha?
Hello all,
so in the effort to make my O4X last like a normal smartphone when not in use iv'e rooted it,unlocked the b/l and flashed custom kerenal.
i did managed to go from an avg. -10%/hr battery drain to 5%/hr but still even if i dont use the phone it will go down alot.
i've tried setcpu,trickster,no frills cpu and none of them could really keep the cpu in the freq. i want. it shos sucess in appling the values but then it jumps below and above the value's iv'e set.
what can be done?
thank you
Have you tried no-frills cpu setting to prevent system for making changes to the cpu frequences?
Yes.. Still not sticking and ignore the freq. I set
@genia.m which kernel are you using ?
Currently I'm on the latest Werewolfjb.
It happened with stock kerenal too..
Might be the rom's fault?
Well it can be, I believe it is the kernel but still, try to change your rom to one which has been reported to not having the baseband wakelock and similar wakelocks . It is the Nvidia Tegra 3 which overrides the definitions and sets them to default. It used to happen with me in stock and on cm too, but I changed to another stock rom , a modified one, and is working like a charm, no stupid wakes.
Try and post the result if you want !
hi, I have an N7000 with slimkat 4.4.2
sometimes the phone stops working (is like if some app is overloading) and starts heating so much that I need to remove the battery to restart the functionality (with almost 10% battery gone in the process)
Is there any app or any way to check if some service is running too long or is taking too much CPU and stop or restart it?
I ve had the same problem it comes from s bad cpu clocks setting.
Try to do a small underclocking.u will have more battery life and you'll have less cpu freezing. ( this was how i fixed this problem on my phone
My phone Gt-I8160 With Cm11 Developed by team canjica
My works : my YouTube Chanel called rubend447 ;D
If u want somethink : ask me, no problem.
thanks, should I pick any of the various app that can manage cpu freq or do you have one suggested for this problem?

there are two paid apps (set cpu and faux 123 but i dont like them.) i prefer rom tolbox that works fine and has a lot of freatures.
