Overclocking EVO? - EVO 4G General

Since Android runs on a linux kernel, can it overclock the processor like the Pre? The Pre 800mhz makes it goes from 500mhz to 800mhz, a 60% increase without killing the battery.

Yes, at least 10%.

Check out the N1 forums. They have a snapdragon as well and, last I checked, have it overclocked to 1.3 ghz I think. Toast released an overclocked kernel for the Hero so I'm sure we can use that same code to overclock the Evo.

In theory you're right as the Evo also uses a qualcomm MSM chipset, but the code will definitely take some finagling. I'm sure toast and maejrep can get it going though.

I'm sorry. Good point. I should not have said exact same code. But regardless, the theory should be the same so we can definitely OC it.

While I know this phone will be the tits, I'd love a fully-functioning AOSP 2.1/2.2 (meaning camera and 4G radio) rom, with an overclock.
The Darchdroid AOSP 2.1 rom for the hero runs so smooth....it's like butter.

It wasn't like butter for me. More like margarine. Less fat but leaves a bad after taste. ha ha. Like I said in other threads I am working on an AOSP port for the Evo so once I get root I can test it and hopefully release it shortly after the 4th. Hopefully we can add some overclocking to that.

Even comparing the fresh toast, to the AOSP rom, the AOSP ran much smoother for me. Both were overclocked to the same speed.
I'll be checking up on your progress, as you definitely have me intrigued. Do you have 4G in your area? I want to make sure 4G is functional, since I'm in the middle of a big ole' pocket of 4G.

Exactly right. And I think the drawback for us on the Hero really was OpenGL 2.0 support. Had we had that in the beginning, it would have been like melted butter
But you take lemons and make lemonade, right?
Ha, even if it doesn't need it, I'd still overclock it. It's really an obsession. I can't help but void any warranty if the situation presents itself.

I'm sure toast is working on it already

Quick port of my patches from the N1/Desire, attached are the two relevant files (one for config and one in arch/arm/mach-msm).
You could probably get away with undervolting too, but there is no guarantee that it will go up to 1.267GHz that these patches will allow.

Nice one bro. Once root is released I'm sure these will come in handy.

Heh, I shoulda known, but I never realized so many major figures of the android community are active on XDA... pretty pumped for SetCPU once I get my EVO. Not so much for OC, but clocking down to save bat <3

Does overclocking a phone this sweet really make that big a difference?
So far it seems like almost the very instant I click something, it's up and running already. (I haven't tried any big and crazy games yet though)
BTW I'm expecting my rooted fresh Hero to bow down and start worshiping my EVO at any second now

Darchdroid is amazing.. Im running it right now on my hero. But shouldnt everyone be wanting a Cyanogen rom. I mean it is what Darchdroid is based on entirely.
Darch is amazing and can do alot. But he uses the source from cyanogen. Cyan should be getting alot more credit.

Eris Overclock?

Hi guys, reading up on the Eris a little (I have a Moto Droid as my main phone). Got it rooted with 2.1 and flashed over Evil Eris and the LWP/Launcher2 updates and it seems pretty good so far! My question is when is overclocking going to be coming to this phone? Had my Droid clocked at 1.25GHz and it was rockin'! I didn't see a thread on it here (yes, I did search!) so I thought I would make one.
Thanks!
We need HTC to release the 2.1 kernel source first. Can't do any overclocking without that.
Send them an email to nag them.
Apparently No one has modified the system kernals on anything so far, so over clocking isn't available yet... I'm sure a dev is working on it though...

you know it.
Of course the .27 kernel source is available, we've tried that kernel with 2.1 and it doesn't work right, and would take a lot of work to get working right, then more work to overclock. Not worth it really. We need the newer .29 source.
In the weeks ahead I will backport all the drivers from .29 to .27 needed to make it all but camera fully functional as I did with the heroc and have began doing for the gsm hero. Overclockin to 700mhz is possible for the turbo msm7k devices. I have a patch to enable it but there is some sort of conflict in the kernel that sops it from booting. Ramconsole shows it setting the desired clocks but then that's just the end of it. No more messages after that. The source is proven to work on all msm7k CPUs and it just seems to have an issue with something HTC added to our source. I haven't had much time to play with it but I've started a thread on it in the cdma hero forum. U can check there for more details on it. The patch I posted will apply clean to the Eris kernel source and all instructions are there for how to set it up. Anyone who wants to try and see what's causing it not to boot is welcome to. All I ask OS u post it findings in that thread as I would like to get it working and I always share my soutce, findings, and work. I just ask for others to do the same.
source code is easier than you might think
ok since android is linux and therefor open source htc is law bound to give you any source code you want as long as you ask them so if you really want it all you have to do is request it

Supposedly the Hero update will hit April 26th. At least that's what engadget says, so we should also have our update around that time. My guess would be either the same day or slightly later because they keep referring to the Hero and not the Eris.

that is possible with most things your overclock. you have to find a nice balance between temp, voltage, and speed. Generally, overclocked cpus tend to have a shorter lifespan. I am not sure on the eris overclocking time frame. I think we need the kernel first?

yeah the cpu in the eris is the same as the hero cpu. ive been working on overclocking the heroc for some time now. the truth is that it can be overclocked to 700mhz max and winmo guys are already doing this. they found a sweet spot with our same cpu in their devices around 600mhz some go a little more. ive been usingtheir work along with my own skills and trying to get it working on native android devices. such as the hero and the eris. its a pain but i believe it can be done. im using the .27 kernel source for the heroc btw. ive managed to port all but the camera driver from .29 to .27. making itfully functional except camera. my hope is to get this working in .27 and possibly merge my changes into .29 6 months from now when HTC feels froggy anyhow yeah u can go and view all my threads ive started and a older patch is on my OC thread, in case anyone here has some C skills. fel free to contact me if u have any questions on it. i havent released my current patch as it isnt finished and im not so sure itll do much more then the one i posted on my thread.

Awesome info! I was just wondering what it could be OC'd too if anyone knew. Good to know the same chip is in other phones so you know what they've pushed it too. What does it run stock? I don't think I've seen it posted anywhere.
So SetCPU doesn't work properly on the Eris, right? I had it running for a while but it always said min = 480, max = 528, no matter what I set it to. Also, the battery was draining FAST! It would die in about 10 hours. I turned it off today and it was at 80% battery left after 10 hours and I didn't notice any difference in performance.

528mhz is stock, 700mhz is max supported. Sweet spot seems to around 600mhz. Battery drain won't be a massive issue as long as we can still use freq scaling

[Q] Is there any Kernel that can run like SnapTurbo?

So far, you can only run 7.6 Snapturbo on Cyanogenmod Roms !! I tried CM6 but I did not really have a good feel to It.. im more of a Sense type of guy, Im really in love though with the 7.6 Snapturbo That CM6 is capable of running.. I ran it and hit a 2300 on my Quadrant!! WOW!!
Only thing is i dont really like the CM6 interface/skins/themes/ etc..
I like how all my e-mails and contacts are synced in the Fresh Rom/every other Rom
MY question is..
Is there another Kernel that runs like 7.6 Snapturbo?? If so which one and is it possible to run it on Fresh Rom or Similar Roms
Im familiar with Virus Rom aswell as i used to have that one prior to Fresh
If someone can point me in the right Direction I would Greatly Appreciate it
I don't know of any Sense roms that run Turbo.
Development??
Is there talk about one being developed ?? why is it that only CM6 is capable of running it?? what does it have that the other do not?
the developer only released it for cm6, and he will not release the code for turbo, so it will not be seen in a sense rom anytime soon, unless the developer changes his mind.

And I guarantee you he never will.
OP, have you tried LauncherPro while you were on CM6? Between LP and some skin edits, you can make it fairly sense-like. Take a look at the Matted Blues theme for an example.
I dont have the knowledge of a developer but, if Cyangen could do it... why can't another Dev do some research on the 7.6 snapturbo and make the Necessary adjustments
Because Cyanogen didn't do it, jmxp69 did, and TURBO is closed-source, owned by Spiicytuna and jmxp69. Nobody else will ever be able to recreate it unless they can figure out what was done, from scratch.

Turbo is not fully complete for cm6, so to even think of converting to sense is out of the question for right now. I am still working on finishing it up for a v2 release for cm6.

I don't. What app actually pushes the CPU beyond it's limit? The only noticeable/visual bottle neck (that affects most if not all current available apps) on the EVO is the GPU which Snap Turbo does not improve.

Emulators, videos, booting, flipping through homescreens with plenty of widgets, scrolling through my 3D app drawer...
Most of those things are gpu related and thus are probably in your head since the gpu drivers are the same as stock.

Excuse me of my ignorance, but why make it closed source? Isn't the point of Android to make things open sourced and better for all? The more people working on something like this, the better it could become right?

The kernel and OS are GPL'd, meaning they have to stay open-source, but SNAP Turbo is an app created by Spiicytuna, using special code in the Snap kernel and various tweaks to the phone's filesystem. Those modifications, and how to interface with the kernel modifications, are not covered under the GPL, and Spiicytuna and jmxp69 have decided themselves not to make TURBO open-source at this time.
Their choice. If you don't like it, you can go use that kanged kernel from the forum's most popular code-and-credit stealer.

yes, CM itself can be set up right for once, then are the OTA roms who are with less things...so they run quite good and ofc the AOSP froyo roms.
What setup is needed for CM to be fast? I don't need any features, just speed. If there's a better FroYo ROM for that I'm open to switching.
Gingerbread on the Dream will happen...I have no doubt about that. The question is how well it'll run. If only the Dream had a little more RAM...
Come on man when have we "never" been able to get an update? Im gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say we will still be getting roms for at least another 2 years!

I don't know about that, because I'm pretty sure Honeycomb or whatever they decide to call Android 3.0 has a minimum requirement for 1GHz processor so the Hero, Sapphire and Dream might be out of luck, especially the Hero because they're still stuck with the 2.6.29 kernel. 3.0 might be possible but I doubt 2 yrs of new Android ROMs is plausible.
AOSP gingerbread running on my Dream..
So seems mostly a go.. will require some poking for a true release but not that bad.
If it's not officially supported in AOSP, does that mean we'll be without camera drivers?

check out the 2708 radio+kernels. By switching to the new radios released for the mytouch + kernel with support, you gain back an extra chunk of ram for os use. Definitely helps out froyo builds

No release because many bits of this are easy to fix

Honeycomb (Android 3.0 or 2.4....who knows) will not require a 1Ghz CPU.
Still don't understand why you people want gingerbread so much. The time it takes to get something that was never intended to even be ran on the G1 was at least a year or so and that was only with eclair and froyo. We can't run a lot of things because of the lack of ram like jit. Everything lacks now, even the gpu.
Please stop with all this silly nonsense about Gingerbread threads and just be patient. I have little faith in the project, as most original devs have completely moved onto different devices which are easier. Not saying the new devs are bad, I'm just saying we lost a lot of veteran support on the G1.
Why not just use something fast on your G1 that won't fry it's sockets after 5 hours of use?

Not only that, look at ezterry's mt3g port of froyo. 2708 radio/kernel + mt3g = hot fastness. Loaded it on two G1s, the gf loves how much faster it is than the other froyo roms we've tried. Probably has to do with the fact ezterry's port is nearly completely stock (it is without the parts update).

Anyway I think 2.3 will be too much for the G1/MT3G to handle, it already struggles with 2.2 so 2.3 is over doing it. Battery will not be very good, as most phones with 2.2 now have 512+ ram as the standard. To get the best experience you'll need faster hw to support the effects,apps,etc...2.1 is the furthest i would go w/ a g1, but 1.6 is where the best perf is. I would go with a new phone if you wanna enjoy 2.3.

AOSP Gingerbread Hero cdma port?

Hi everyone,
been following this thread for a while:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864403
it seems the cdma guys have got a gingerbread port that is much further along than any port for our standard heros. everything works, much like feeyos port, but i have heard that this is a lot smoother and contains a lot of things from the cm7 sources from other devices.
i have seen roms ported from cdma to hero before and just wondered if anyone fancies having a crack at this?
cheers,
Sam
I'd love to see that
yeah i think it'd be a really good rom for someone to have a go at porting, seems they are so much further along than us!
if i was in any way an experienced developer i would have a go, but unfortunately im not
Is there sourcecode available?
I think it would be better to in-cooperate the important changes, then porting things. As the latter would give other problems.
unfortunately i dont think there is, just a kernel source. could always pm the developer? im sure he would be happy to cooperate
We have Cronos Gingerbread guys :-D Camera and all hardware is working. Use google.

Yes I know, have used it for a while and there's far too much lag for daily use, especially in launcherpro. Also seems like feeyo is not getting much further with a new build.

I agree, and as sjknight413 said, the CDMA rom seems like its a lot smoother and stuff, so i think it's worth it

I promise some work on CM7 for hero this week. Stay tuned.
his morning tweet, nothing more to say
Hell yeah! Once we get a fully working cm7 I think development will kick off from villain, elelinux etc

I get zero lag. set your cpu settings to somethign like 4xx to 6xx ondemand, then add a screen off profile of somethign like 1xx to 4xx ondemand.
disable all animations in settings->display.
disable dithering in cm parts.
set all launcherpro animations to instant or as fast as possible (instant is great) for the app drawer and so on.
trust me - you'll find it's quick. the rom is incredible - those settings work around the only real speed issue it has which is with transition animations.
I use it all the time. it's fantastic.
I have all the settings you just said set, but I have my max speed set at 710mhz. Its just generally laggy, mainly with launcherpro swiping between screens and system animations. Yeah its fast but I can't be dealing with the lag.

elelinux has been involved in gb for our hero from day one. he's worked with feeyo to bring us cronos gingerbread 0.0.9 which is, as noted, pretty outstanding. they both say there are lots of development tasks left to do so it'll be interesting to see if they find the cdma version has some stuff they can pull in or if it's just too different.
Why does CDMA have more development than GSM?

I think because almost everyone in america get's a CDMA Hero from his/her work, and because the sprint network is really populair in america
edit:
which will give them more users
which means more need for newer roms etc.
which means faster and better devs

odd. zero lag here. nada. lp swiping is instantaneous. there are no system animations running if you followed my instructions so again, nada.
I'd say that something's different between our setttings. I wonder if I forgot anything. you turned off surface dithering in cm parts, right?

I don't get it
just kidding - good thing is lots of their stuff is somewhat portable to the almost identical gsm hero we know and love. but again - I wonder how much is really better in their version right now? everyone raves about everyone else's... LoL
Why does the grass always look greener on the other side?

do we need more sense kernels?

been seeing all the great aosp kernels lately and i was thinking aside from the netarchy kernel we really do not have alot of other options. would anybody love to see savage-zen or something like that work on sense roms too?
can there be improvements made over the existing sense kernels?
Theres no point. Evo is apparently too old to even get official announcements about GB meaning if you want to stay current it's AOSP or nothing.
Swyped from my pants, I'll let you figure out how.

sadly i think you may be right. hopefully we may still get a ginger/sense port though.
Better kernels. SavagedZen was the bomb onb CM, but his Froyo kernel is useless on the sense ROMs I've run...
NetarcyToast has never been good for me.
Ziggy's is ok, but nothing close to what I got on CM7 with SZ
Ziggy is still putting out. Id like to see his with the code for HDMI mirror.

Ziggy always worked really well for me, net is good too. SZ never runs better my phone than the stock kernel. We could always use more, but I think the ones we have are really good.

Froyo isn't for sense

I'm using Ziggy's BFS-031211 beta and it's running amazingly. Great battery life and lots of snap to it. I know bench marks don't mean much but I was hitting 1570's-1590's on average with a peak of 1634 on quadrant.

Wrong, we are getting gingerbread, sadly, that will probably be the last update we receive via OTA
