[Q] Can the vibrant be overclocked yet?

Is it possible to overclock our vibrant yet? I see my CPU is only running at 800MHz but its a gig processor?

It's set to run from 100-1000, so at any given time when you look, it's probably somewhere in the middle. When some app needs more cpu, the system will adjust the speed for you. There is an oc kernel, but it's not quite stable yet.

Me need overclock
No actually, me just need FROYO

I've been running the overclocked kernel posted at the link below for about a week without issues.

Combined with the lag fix in 'UPDATE 3' by anomalous3 in the following post, I've been consistently getting Quadrant scores above 2500.

Put in Sztupy's experimental ROM too the one that says NO RFS, its pretty good. I got a linpack 20+ & Quadrant 2000+ pre-rooted, NO LAGFIX.

It's strange that we call the replacement of a filesystem "lagfix"

This obsession with Quadrant scores is stupid and very misleading. We already know that loop filesystems artificially inflate Quadrant scores even though the device isn't much faster (i.e. OCLF on top of Voodoo gives you 2500 Quadrant but performance isn't truly improved).
It can be useful for doing base comparisons, but it just ends up confusing everybody and perceverating about a number instead of actual performance in the real world and smoothness.
Personally I'm waiting for Voodoo b5.
I'm currently using Doc's Mod for JPM/JP6 and I got 1030 Quadrant with no lagfix. Not sure why the OP said it wouldn't run.

with the same rom, if you run the quadrant test several times, the score varies...
all froyos are scoring about 900 - 1050 without LagFix and 1800 - 2000 with lagfix

Well it actually does give what it says and it's no quadrant error. It's just that probably no app other than a badly coded touch wiz launcher will ever need a faster memory.
Try noticing differences on your system with a 5600RPM HDD and a 7200HDD.
You won't feel any difference and only benchmarking software will be able to tell.
However if it's possible (because rfs is a crappy file system) why not replace it?
It's like going from FAT32 to NTFS, it's there, it's better so why not use it?

^^ welcome after, there's like three mods trying to accomplish right now..

[COMPARISON] Speedmod or Super Optimized Kernel

2 kernels for galaxy s froyo has recently intrigued me, namely [KERNEL][OC-UV-TINYRCU-BFQ-RAMZSWAP] Super Optimized Kernel (4_2 STABLE) (2010-10-19) by laststufo, and [KERNEL] SpeedMod Froyo 341MB RAM [K7 Test] [I1.2 Stable] by hardcore.
This is the speedmod kernel
and this is the super optimized kernel
I know speedmod sets the minimum clock speed to 250/300/500 depending on which one you flash and includes some fixes from voodoo and also the ULK, while the super optimized kernel includes ramzswap which decreases ram usage virtually, while adding the same implementations such as voodoo fixes and ULK.
So which one is better in your opinion? Do state your reasons.
-PS: I didn't really understood the meaning of Hz but now i kinda do thanks to Bos$. The 250/300/500 is not minimum clockspeed.

None of which. I prefer YA-OK, which gives me the most snappy feeling with a slight OC/UV that does not degrade system stability or battery life.

AFAIK, SpeedMod doesn't set the minimum clock speed like what you said. Read the thread for more info.
I would go for SpeedMod, haven't tried the other one yet.

Sorry.. could U state exactly which lagfix U used in ULF?
There's 2 overkills.. JFS and EXT4.
I used JFS overkill and has freezes twice and moved down to JFS advanced.

I don't really like ya-ok. Looks like a more basic version of super optimized kernel.

Don't just look, feel it
Thx to tokyo, it's my fav kernel now.

Probarly the best kernel out there
Came from SpeedMod kernel from Hardcore, which is also extremely well functioning (I1.2 stable verison). However, on my SGS, the YA-OK kernel is way faster and the feel of the phone is simply astonishing.
I'm on DOC's 7.6.2 (WXJPA) and with adv. ext4 lagfix + IOsched tweak. Phone is truly flying and finally faster than I can press the buttons - awesome!
Can't say much about battery for YA-OK, but with Hardcore's SpeedMod my SGS typically lasted 2 days (best 2,5 day). And that is push email (work and gmail), 3G on, no wifi, no gps, no bt.
Let's see how this YA-OK will do on battery? I'll report back later on...
So far - extremly well done work Zenkinz

I'm using Speedmod K7-300Hz and with lagfix voodoo. (because of battery life)
There seems be a little laggy on my phone, I may think about other kernel, like YA-OK.
But battery lif is what I concern about.
Please let us know how about YA-OK on battery. Tks!

I've jumped to ya-ok, tried all the optimized kernels available. ya-ok feels the most smooth and balanced out, of course that's just me. you guys try it for yourself! lol
can't test battery yet until tomorrow
ps. shouldn't really post this in dev though.

virtuous unity 2.35 automatic underclock

set cpu only overclocks to 1.7ghz when you actually need it, like when you are running graphics heavy apps or you are multitasking alot. it underclocks to 1.2ghz at times because you dont need 1.7ghz and only need 1.2ghz, this also saves battery life. if you want it to run at 1.7ghz all the time you need to set your governer to preformance. hope this helps

You shouldn't be using SetCPU if you are on Unity. There is already an OC interface built-in to the ROM, and it works better than SetCPU.
From the Virtuous website:
Virtuous. overclocking daemon will automatically be disabled if an overclocking tools (such as SetCPU or CPU Tuner) is installed. Installing these tools is not advised, as the virtuous_oc daemon responds far more rapidly to screen state changes than any Android (Java) application.
But as evilcuber already mentioned, CPU clocking down when not needed is normal. The OC you are setting is a MAXIMUM, not a MINIMUM. You set how high it can go, but that doesn't affect how the CPU can clock up and down below that upper limit. If you want, you can set the minimum clock speed higher (or as evilcuber mentions, use a different governor), so its running at 1.7 GHz all the time . But you are just wasting battery life when its not needed. You might see some slight performance increase by running at max clock speed all the time, as it avoids any delays in CPU speed stepping. But the battery trade-off is probably not worth it.
Think of it as your car's engine revving at maximum RPM all the time, regardless of what speed you are actually moving at, or even when your car is parked. It makes more sense to just rev the engine up or down when the speed is needed. Not a perfect analogy, I know. But you see what I'm getting at?

also if u want a gui, u can download the virtuous overclock app

ohh i may not have expressed my self good enough.. i know about how the governors works (at least some of them), and the problem is that, i choose 1.7 Ghz, and quit the app, and then when i get back, the clock is adjusted back to 1.2 Ghz. maybe i should just uninstall setcpu, and let the daemon do the work?

Ah, I just upgraded to Unity 2.35 today, and noticed the OC GUI is no longer packed in. Just find the file by using the search function in the Unity thread, to install the GUI.

But which governor?
I would uninstall SetCPU. As I already said, the Virtuous team does not recommend it. It doesn't perform nearly as quickly as the built in daemon. Install the GUI app, if you want to tweak the daemon settings. If the dev of a ROM is as clear about recommended something as they are with the daemon (vs. SetCPU), its a good idea to follow their advice.

Got the same problem with setcpu.
You should try what they say above.
I run unity 2.37 : use virtuous OC gui(virtuous overclock controller) with temp+CPU widget to monitor your speed, temps, mem, etc.
With the new unity kernel you can OC up to 2.0 ghz

solid advice

Also, on Sept. 12, the Virtuous team recommended OC/UV Beater as a interface for overclocking the Virtuous OC Daemon. I've been using this recently, and it works great.

[Arrows - Guide] Best Aosp GB & ICS Roms [Updated - 1/22/12]

Feel Free to post and give feedback ^_^
Also feel free to Vote the thread ^_^
Q&A is in Post 2
_____________________________________
Hi Everyone, Arrow here and this is my guide to find what is the best aosp setup for your evo or android. It is true when people say "every phone is different." However there is an average of people that get similar results. At the moment people have different interest such as some people want performance and some want to improve their battery life. Of course certain people want both but only some get both.
*Remember what i put here is an average and may be different on your evo*
AOSP GB ROM'S: Ok so to start off, these are aosp roms still being updated as of now.
CyanogenMod 7 (CM7) - The most famous aosp rom out there, all or almost all other aosp roms are based off of this rom. This rom has a stable rom and experimental nightly builds. Anyone will tell you that you can't go wrong by choosing this rom. and believe me you will enjoy it.
CyanogenMod 7 Thread
Miui - This rom has the longest battery life and is very customizable. This rom is based off of CM7 and is an excelent rom. However unlike CM7 this rom does not have 4g so if you are willing to sacrifice 4g then believe me this is your rom.
Miui Thread
Gingerbread Evo Deck - Ok so although CM7 is amazing decks gb rom has said to be the exact same thing but giving off better battery life. other then that it is pretty much the same thing with some minor tweaks and some bloat ware removed.
Gingerbread-Evo-Deck's Thread
Xplod E4G - Team Nocturnal designed this rom and it is pretty much CM7 with the Sony Launcher + their apps. This rom will give your phone a nice cool feel that other people don't have. If you like a lot of eye candy then get this rom because it is CM7 just with a different look and feel.
Team Nocturnals Xplod E4G RLS1.2
teh roxxorz said:
using Xplod: there's a 50/50 chance the new tiamat kernels [4.0.7+] may not boot, in that case, they should use 3.3.7.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ICS(mod7) - Team Blaze designed this rom and you can consider this rom like Xplod E4G, a rom just like CM7 with some minor tweaks but with a different look and feel. None the less this rom has something very special this is the closest rom to being like ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich). I 100% support this rom because they are doing the best they can to make this rom look and run as smooth as ICS. so if you want to look like your ahead of the game definitely get this rom.
ICS(mod7) Thread
AOSP GB Kernels: These are three kernels that i know of, if you know of more please let me know and i will add them.
Tiamat 4.1.0 - This is the latest kernel made by Tiamat and this is the only aosp kernel still being updated. This kernel on average gives people great performance but lacks on battery life. The main Governor for this kernel is SmartassV2 which is a balanced governor, good to turn on your phone and good to use on a normal day to day bases. For this kernel i do recommend using this governor. It does have SBC and Non-SBC kernels. *Side Note* (Some people say Tiamat 3.3.7 works better for them and is also known as the LEE Kernel because it was awesome like Bruce Lee and looks like Lee backwards [337])
Tiamat Website I also put the Zips in the Attachment (At The Bottom)
Savaged-Zen - This kernel is no longer being updated, however it is still amazing this kernel seems to be Tiamat's competition. Where Tiamat lacks on battery Savaged-Zen does not. However it's performance is not as good as Tiamat. This Kernel comes in two version BFS (Brain F***ed Scheduler) and CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler). BFS is said to give better performance and CFS is the normal kernel. This kernel only comes with SBC however you may download "SVZ Manager" which will allow you to turn SBC on or off. The main governor for this kernel i believe is on demand However i use smartass and a lot of people us InteractiveX.
Savaged-Zen CFS sbc I also put the Zips in the Attachment (At The Bottom)
Savaged-Zen BFS sbc in attachments (At The Bottom)
SVZ Manager I also put the Zips in the Attachment (At The Bottom)
GoDm0de - This Kernel was made by toastcfh and is no longer being updated. It is non-sbc and in my opinion definitely the best non-sbc kernel. This Kernel has insane battery life and a pretty good performance. If you do not want to use an sbc kernel i recommend for you to 100% use this kernel. The Governor for this kernel is set on on demand (i think) however i got the best battery/performance using Interactive.
GoDm0dE Kernel I also put the Zips in the Attachment (At The Bottom)
AOSP ICS ROM'S:
ICS rom by: the_Plattypus and it is still in Alpha testing. however the development for this rom is moving really fast so hopefully a beta will come soon.
EVO 4g Ice Cream Sandwich from source
ICS-evo-deck: This Rom is by kushdeck, After testing out Decks ICS Pre-Alpha 4 & 7 rom i conclude that although it is a alpha it can easily be used as a day to day rom. extremely fast and very snappy. only thing that i found not working was the camera. (Now on Alpha5)
[ROM][ICS][1-11-12][WIP] ics-deck-evo [alpha5]
All Decks ICS Pre-Alphas
All Decks ICS Gapps
AOSP ICS Kernels:
Jaredthegreat ICS - jared has the most advanced ics rom which is in beta 2 but does not have a working camera to check this rom go here:
[ROM's] -ICS- 4.0.1-4.0.3>[AOSP]<--~B.2.0~
Will post them when they are released!!!
Rom Manager/Kernel Manager:
Rom Manager: This is an app from the android market and is extremely useful for pretty much anything. you can back up your rom, you may go into boot loader and you can check if certain roms such as "CM7 Nightlies" have been updated. However people do prefer Amon Ra for flashing, which is another plus of Rom Manager it allows you to flash alternative recovery, which will flash Amon Ra for you.
Kernel Manager: This app was working before but has stopped now, however if it does start working again what it had was pretty much all the kernels that you needed for any rom. this app would allow you to flash a new kernel immediately by going to the kernel you want to flash.

Reserved
Q&A:
Q: What is SBC?
A: SBC stands for super battery charger. SBC is trickle charging, It stops your battery from dropping from 100% to 90% right when you take it off the charger. Some say that it harms your battery but i haven't seen any harm and plus it only costs $5 to get a new battery on Amazon.
Q: How to set up and flash your roms and kernels?
A: well my friend "Crossrocker" made a guide for this with everything you need. so just click to go to his thread. [GUIDE||Oct/23]Best AOSP(CM7|Decks|MIUI) configuration.
Q: What is the difference between governors?
A: This Thread by "RJackson" explains it all:SetCPU governors (explained)
But if you're too lazy to click it here they are:
As explaind by RJackson:
ondemand - Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed. - SetCPU website
conservative - Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery. - SetCPU website
performance - Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking. - SetCPU website
powersave - Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times. - SetCPU website
userspace
A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor. - SetCPU website
Interactive - The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu
at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming
out of idle. When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire
within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer
fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the cpu was not 100% busy, then the governor evaluates the cpu load over the
last 'min_sample_rate' (default 50000 uS) to determine the cpu speed to ramp down
to.
As explained by MDJ:
SMARTASS GOVERNOR - is based on the concept of the interactive governor.
I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works - by taking over the idle loop - is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies.
Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 245Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 245 - why?! - it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 998/245 kernel, it will sleep at 245. No need for sleep profiles any more![/QUOTE]
As explained by teh roxxorz:
Lagfree - like the performance governor. It will scale the cpu to higher frequencies when needed, but not to 100% like performance, so you'll get a lil better battery out of it
SmartassV2 - A smarter smartass governor. Code was re-managed/removed to make it more optimized, and have better scaling performances
InteractiveX - a better interactive governor I believe; low scale cpu settings, for texting, browsing, ect, nothing intensive. I wouldn't use it for emulators, ect.
Q: Do you need PRL/Profile/Radio updates? Do you need to go back to sense based to do these still?
A: No you don't have to go back to sense to do these and you don't have to do these because Rom's will come with what you need. None the less if you would like to update your radios here is a thread by "Calkulin" where he keeps the latest radios updated: [ Radios ][ 9-5 ] All EVO Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV & HBoot versions
Q: Does HDMI mirroring work on these roms?
A: As of this moment Miui and CM7 both have HDMI mirroring working, and sense all the other ones are cm7 with some tweaks they as well have HDMI working however from what i have read the only one that has not had problems with HDMI is Decks Gingerbread Rom
Q: Are all other major features (4G (except for Miui), bluetooth, front & rear camera, GPS, apps such as Netflix, Skype, Google Voice, Sprint Visual voicemail) all working at least as well as on a Sense or stock ROM?
A: Yes everything is working, however on CM7 and i presume on some others you also have to flash a gps fix which you can get from this thread: [GUIDE||Oct/23]Best AOSP(CM7|Decks|MIUI) configuration. and the Voicemail seems to have some issues for some people but works flawlessly on Decks with it's gapps + Voicemail which you may also get from this thread: [GUIDE||Oct/23]Best AOSP(CM7|Decks|MIUI) configuration.
Q:My wifi is connecting/disconnecting after a second, what should i do?
A: This answer was given to me by "teh roxxorz." This has nothing to do with your rom or kernel, do this:
Back up everything into Titanium Backup
Boot into recovery
wipe cache, Dalvik, and pretty much everything
reflash your rom,kernel and gapps (or if you would like to check out some other roms and kernels just click on the link in my sig)
once you've set up your phone download Titanium Backup from the market
in titanium backup restore all your apps ONLY!!! (don't get apps w/ data - only get apps, and do not get system data)
after this your wifi should be working just fine
Q: I am having wake issues?
A: Here is a Guide made by JBabey[FIX] Wake Issue (Android OS) - Combination of Radio/PRI/NV/Wimax/GPS !Solved!
Q: Can i make my 3g speed faster?
A: Yes, This answer was given to me by teh roxxorz:
You need to flash a sprint sense rom. I emphasize sprint because it won't work on the sense 3.5 roms, as they're all ports of other non sprint roms.
1. Flash sense rom
2. Obtain your msl, download msl reader from market, use it, write it down
3. type in ##3282# , input your msl (you can get this from the app msl reader)
4. Click edit mode > advanced
5. Scroll down to HHTD proxy port and address
6. Change the proxy port to 0 and proxychange the address to 0.0.0.
Q: How can I fix my GPS?
A: This answer was given to me by teh roxxorz:
- flash a sense rom
- open up the dialer
- Type ##GPSCLRX# or ##4772579#
- Your enter your MSL at the prompt
- Your phone will soon reboot > done
Q: Is there a guide like this but for sense roms?
A: Yes if you are looking for a sense guide rather than aosp then check out this thread by tropicalbrit
Q: What is your setup at the moment?
A: Rom - Decks 4.0.3 Pre-Alpha 7 ICS Rom
Kernel - Stock
Governor - Conservative
CPU Max/Min Frequency - 729/128
IncrediControl (app) - (-100) [I get to (-100) by first doing (-75) and leaving it there for 3 days and then I do another (-25)]
Car-o-Dope (CoD) setup

Nice setup. Thanks

lol i was about to message you to check out this thread, but actually i do need something. do you happen to know a description of: lagfree, smartassV2, and interactiveX? or at least where i can get one?

Also, you should also disclose to people using Xplod: there's a 50/50 chance the new tiamat kernels [4.0.7+] may not boot, in that case, they should use 3.3.7.
And any reason you were gona message me?

Nice helpful thread , I like that you attached the kernels seeing that a lot of people these days are always asking for links to them.

You could have asked I keep all of them just incase.
Edit: I quoted the wrong post lol.
I was talking about the kernels.

i actually did, it runs really smooth and i believe atm everything is working. if there is anything wrong with it, then it was something cm7 did because it is the same thing with a few tweaks and a different look.

Hi,
Thanks for guide... I am considering changing from
my stock rooted ROM, so very timely for me!
Some features that you don't mention or summarize
that may help me and others.
PRL/Profile/Radio updates? I believe you need to
go back to sense based to do these still? [yuk]
HDMI mirroring?
Are all other major features (4G (except for Miui),
bluetooth, front & rear camera, GPS, apps such as
Netflix, Skype, Google Voice, Sprint Visual voicemail)
all working at least as well as on a Sense or stock ROM?
Thanks in Advance,
Peter
