[Q] Average Overclocking Android for Htc Blackstone

Okay
I want to find out the average people overclock their blackstone/touch hd with startup on android
my htc blackstone with android cannot go far than 650000
right now i am testing 633600< works fine now (trying to get over 650000)
so if u could
could u post the lyour overclock values (600000-720000)
and what build your are using e.g froyo or eclair and ifs it neopeek xdandroid or others
thanks
Update
652800

Update
Going over 650000 border doesnt work for my blackstone just hangs
going back to last stable overclock (633600)

try use setcpu..my device got running to 691 mhz!!!
sorry for my bad englisj.

well it depends on each device.it is overclocking so not every device is the same.there are batch that can go higher more than 600Mhz.I found mine is max out at 633Mhz.Overclocking is the same like in computers where chips,batch no,revision no and etc play the role to get decent score.

thanks for quoting
lucky you

max out for me is somewhere at 740-750mhz, right now I run Android on 710mhz for no crashes (FRG83 R6). On the 1.6 build by Kenia I could go up to 748mhz without crashes

sorry, but i can't completely agree with you...for my blackstone, the max frequency depends on the modules and zimage that I mount, with the first Kernel modded by Camro, i was able to reach up to 710 MHz without any problems....Now my limit (with new kernels released by F22) is 633...so I'm waiting for new kernel hoping in best performances...

wow with 1.6
hmmm
might try that today

how to overclock blackstone when I am on android ? I installed setcpu and it says min 128, max 528 so I cant reach 600mhz and more ??

download kernel 1287. Radio 1.17... GingerCherry. And on my BlackStone i hit 710,4 (716800) with no problem

Modify the STARTUP.TXT

I use Froyos and test Gingers
Always at 716800 frequency
I've tried 729Mhz, but it gets unstable. I also use 710 in WinMo.
Radio 1.17; EnergyROMs

set cmdline "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=650000 lcd.density=240 clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3"
boot
u dont need setcpu

Hi,
I see that my cmd line does not contain "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=650000 clock-7x00.a11=500" , so when I change speed (for example from 650000 to 716800), do I have to change only frequency or is there something to change with the "clock" parameter too ?

You only have to change the frequenzy.
I have set the speed to 716800 Hz and it works fine.

when I set to 716800 I got stucked linux boot (boot line comes to end then phone freezes..)

Maybe it's different from device to device or the problem is based on the kernel or radio version.

The problem of this is your rom..
Energy rom is very hard to overclock..
I've used energy rom for quite a while.. and didn't manage to overclock my blackstone to 650...
With a different rom I was able to oc my blackstone to 710.4 without problems...
I was very used to energy rom and had a lot of contacts and other stuff in that rom..
so my advice is make a back-up with pim back-up.. install different rom.. and try oc-ing ...

[Q] SETCPU HD2 overclock

hi guyz, i have a little question for you
does someone have an hd2 with android witch is overclocked to over 1ghz? 1.5ghz too? and, is it a warried operation or cpu has a low overhead in that situation?
3rd and last question, if i put my hd2 in 1.5ghz mode, and force a bench test, may i broke my hd2 with going upper than cpu Tjunction or there's a system protection witch shuts down all the hardware else the cpu is too close to Tjunction? (like normally pc cpu)
i don't know if snapdragon has system protection, so, i don't want to try to fuse my hd2 (it's my main phone)
and, for users who whant to know, yep, i'm using wp7 because it's smoother than android, but, if i try to use android with that overlock, may it can be smooth like wp7, maybe
and, please, don't say that android is smooth, because it has some micro freeze in the continuity of the animation, and i hate that
thank you for your answers

You can set your clock to max, but make a profile to downclock your cpu speed to ~500 MHZ when it heats up.

oh, you could make a profile with downlcloking when cpu goes to a specific temperature?
nice, what's the tjunction of snapdragon? is 50°C too hight?

not sure, to be honest, I don't overclock my device. too scared to do so :/
but when I did overclock it I set the temperature to 41-42 Celsius.
you can tell that I got a lot of high temp warnings, safe is better than sorry.

no, not using it, uninstalled it, because it makes my phone randomly reboot + it can brick your phone (little chance for that) but me no like overheating

How to get to 1.5?
SetCPU only let's me go till 1.2 ghz..

You need a kernel that allows overclocking

different builds use different kernels, and each support different max CPU speeds. If the kernel supports overclocking, the developer usually mentions than in the first post. Note that Some kernels/builds do not support any kind of overclocking, so the max CPU speed would be ~988 MHz

CPU Govenor question/idea

Hey guys, ive been testing out the different governors. This is kinda android wide.. but ive only got my trusty HD2 to test on. If an administrator thinks this thread belongs in the Android General, feel free to move it.
So my idea/thoughts:
Ive noticed EVERY govenor doesnt really "scale" the CPU. Once it hits 100% it seems to shoot straight up to the MAX CPU SETTING.. This is redunant, as when one is web browsing, text messaging, calling, file browsing etc etc.. one does not need max CPU settings. All its doing is wasting battery. I can have an extremely smooth phone at 614400 set as max. Except when i play any high res games. So i created a script which sets my max CPU back to 1.6Ghz. I've placed said script on the home screen and i just tap it to run it then launch my game. I tap another script after to set max back to 614400.
So i am wondering if anyone can make a governor that is more "scaling" then immediatly setting the CPU to MAX when the cpu hits 100%. Maybe add some sort of timer, like if the cpu is at max for x amount of time then jump up. Or some other option to allow the CPU to stay at a set lower level. Ive tried all governors and Ondemand with a decent power save bias works. But it biases at frequencies of 96mhz or whatever your min value is. So we should be able to have a power save bias to bias at a set frequency.
My other idea was writting an apk that would see what the foreground app is and then throttle CPU according to user settings. Like say if angry birds is open, it would throttle to 1.6Ghz or whatever MAX cpu setting you have. Then when the app is closed, it would throttle back down. Its pretty much my script but lazified. ;P
Any and all thoughts are welcome this is just a brainstorming thread

Is this a bad idea? Or not possible? Nobody commented

I think it's a good idea, wouldn't mind seeing that as an apk

Seeing which? Making an apk that see's which program is open and throttles accordingly? I would rather have a governor that throttles better. Just dont know how to achieve that. Ive gotten my smartassV2 setting pretty tweaked. Its mostly been in the lower frequencies but lags at a couple of things when texting. Maybe i'll finally cave and learn full fledged java programming and make an apk...

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 with Trinity 7 CPU overclocking

So I'm kind of new to messing around with tablets but learning a few things. On my Nexus 7 I decided to put Cyanogenmod 10 on it so I could customize a few things. I then decided I wanted to overclock the max CPU frequency past 1300 MHz so I installed Trinity 7 kernel. Now I'm able to run it at 1700 MHz which runs a few apps much faster but after exiting out of the apps and going back to check on the max CPU frequency and it's set back down to 1300 MHz.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? So far there's only one app I'm overclocking for so it's not a big issue but it would still be nice to figure out the issue.
Thanks

I down loaded too. I just changed the governer to performance and it stays on 1600 etc on set cpu

There might be an option for "set at boot." Try that.

That's not the solution. The performance governor keeps the cpu speed at max frequency at all times (even when screen is off). That will eat up your battery quick.

Thanks that seemed to have fixed it though I figured out you have to turn that on THEN pick the max CPU frequency. Doing it the other way around won't change anything, I think that's what I tried before.
Also mccolvinj I'd personally leave it on interactive so it will just use the max CPU when needed or at least that's what I got out of the descriptions of governors I looked up.
EDIT: Nevermind...that only temporarily fixed it, it went back to 1300 after a bit. Maybe I installed Trinity 7 wrong?

I think so since it's rooted, is there a way I can check or give it permissions?

you need the powerHAL "fix". your rom should include it, but i guess it doesnt. search the n7 forums for a flashable. or, the trinity kernel toolbox app includes the "fix" just in case your rom doesnt.

Check in the superuser app
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app

kernels arent rooted, your roms are. you can flash a custom kernel on a rom without root. the only difference is that you wouldnt be able to control the cpu with ant cpu control apps, the apps need root.
ive posted the solution already. either find the flashable powerHAL fix or use the trinity kernel toolbox to control the kernel. tkt includes the powerHAL fix.

[Q] Performance Profiles

Moin,
Is there any app that provides performance profiles like CPU-, GPU-clock speed etc? My old tf300 came with build in options for that :crying:
Thank you

I mean something like a widget with Performance presets (yeah i should have said that ) so you can easily switch between them... for example
Code:
preset 1: CPU 1,5GHz to 1 GHz, GPU 400 MHz
preset 2: CPU 1 GHz to 380 MHz, GPU 200 MHz
etc.

franco.Kernel updater offers power modi based on which app you are currently running. It's not exactly what you were looking for, but I think this functionallity goes even further.
Also I think (I haven't used it in ~2 years) setCPU does offer some functionallity like this

Now that I understand the question: Is this even possible when we're talking stock/unrooted? (Just assuming, because OP asked for an app, not ROM)

No. Such a modification would need root access.

Thanks a lot! I will try SetCPU, because i don't want to manage the clockspeed for all of my apps in franco.updater
