[Q] Overclock..

Hi,
I flashed the non-OC version of Kyrillos` ROM because my phone freezed with the other..
Is there a method to overclock my phone or is it gonna freeze anyway?

I had freezing issue's with the BE (whats used in kyrillos's rom, though the version in his rom may be newer) but I didnt have freezing issues with the apocalypse beta3 OC version, so you could try that out if OCing is very important to you

Ok thx.
I'm gonna try the Apocalypse ROM. : )
Just one more question. Do I have to remove my partitions first?

Partitions? No.

I could be wrong, but being a veteran overclocker of desktop CPU's, I know that some processors don't overclock as well as some else might, so one thing you could try is set a lower speed, like 1200mhz. Or start from 667 increasing 100 at a time and running a quadrant each time until It's not stable anymore (eg. freezes).

This has been floating around here too, together with the trying different frequencies (end users cant really try 100 at a time, since they dont change the kernel, only 667 833/866 1000 and 1.3ghz unless other values have been added that i am not aware of). I know I had problems with one OCed kernel (regardless of how much I OCed) but didnt have problems with another, so the OC method might have something to do with it (reverse engineering vs sources or stuff like that). It's usually not that easy (or well documented/something similar that my brain cant verbalize atm) to overclock a phone as it is to overclock a desktop.

Yeah, I know It's nothing like overclocking a desktop CPU, but the bottom line is they're both processors and components that work the same way.

Set the min and max frequency the same, it worked for me

Hi
Download ADB
adb push fs.convert /sdcard/android/data/fugumod/fs.convert

But if you set the same value for min and max your battery life will decrease drammatically....... min frequency is very important when the phone is idle.....

Overclocking got a bit mystic for me I tried the Apocalypse and Kyrillos ROMs with OC. Could not get a stable work from them. Tried changing the frequencies (min and max) and all sort of stuff, but nothing helped. TouchWiz was periodicaly freezing, on big apps like Angry Birds the phone would just hang up and I had to reboot.
Being tired of that, I flashed a stock ROM (being XWJPE for Ukraine), rooted it, and then flashed FuguMod Kernel 2.3. Works fine for me. No freezes, no hang ups, and I didn't have to mess with the frequencies. I suggested anyone who can not get a Custom OC ROM to work properly, to try doing it manualy on a clean stock ROM.
Good luck!

Hi,
sorry to resurrect quite an old post, but i would like to know which (free) app you guys use to manage cpu frequency. I tried some but it was either over-complex or not working decently (not detecting non-extreme frequencies).
I am using kyrillos 5.0 and it looks like my phone is going to 1300 MHz as soon as i ask it anything...

SetCPU is the only one i know^^

Ok, i'll try this one for a few days, thanks !

can anyone help me??? i am using apps2sd mad team..n in settings>sd & phone memory it shows 6.49 gb instead of 7.49..that is because i partioned it...but in titanium backup it shows
internal: 201 MB
SD Card: 6.49gb
sd card(a2sd):219mb
why is this happening ..i have tried several times..everything goes right n i partion the sd card even but cant see it in titanium backup..help would be appreciated...n also do i have to convert..?? i am on indroid 4..and i did not flash any kernel..

point in the right direction - overclock mods

Hi all,
amazed by all the knowledge on this site! used the search tool but cant make heads or tails or it
so please could someone point me in the right direction towards overclocking or to liter mods than the HTC. as the phone is good, but things like Angry Birds etc, just drop frame rate etc.
Thanks all

Install Cyanogenmod 7, you can overclock from cyanogenmod settings. There you can set max cpu mhz and min. cpu mhz, as well as governors wich control the frequency.

If you want to keep sense then use wildpuzzle v8 with the overclock kernel then get setcpu from the market thats if you dont want to use cyanogenmod anyway

Thanks for the replys guys, but after some googling i couldnt find a guide in which i feel safe in attempting.. does any know where there is some kind of step by step?
Thanks again

After rooting, I installed the nFinity mc4 kernel on my Froyo stock rom... Very easy and quick to do.
Now I can under/overclock and Angry Birds is working perfectly!

I did the same, no need to flash a custom rum. Just flash the kernel you like in recovery and install SetCPU from the market and u can overclock the CPU and set profiles (screen off etc)

Easiest way to overclock

What is the easiest way to overclock, I know that a different kernel is needed to overclock, but does overclocking require a completely new ROM
Thank You!

You only need a new kernel if you're running stock froyo.
There's a lot of apps on the market that offer overclocking (SetCPU is a nice one)

Easiest way to overclock is choosing cm7. No extra apps or kernels needed. It has inbuilt oc kernel and options for setting CPU frequency. And greater stability at higher clocks too.

Sorry to be a pain; do you have an idea of which kernel I should use?

Some other user might give better info, since I'm not using an HTC Sense based rom/stock.

Fastest rom to overclock with?

Hey,
I see a lot of people using CM7 is this really the best one?
Also till how many mhz I can overclock on that one?

Yes Cm7 IS really great, in fact you can customize almost everything, and I really like that feature...
As for overclocking you can overclock I think to max of 768mhz(if I'm wrong somebody please correct me)...maybe you can a little bit more but I think it is kernel related...
Hope it helps,
Best regards

Irrespective of which ROM you choose, it is the kernel which allows (or disallows) you from Overclocking. Till date, there are 2 primary kernels which are available - HCDR.Kernel by Jacob and nFinity by arco, and both OC support upto 768MHz. (I think Deep-Knight has recently developed a new kernel for his ROM, which allows OC upto 600MHz)
Because of this, you can overclock your stock ROM also, if you so wish, by simply flashing a custom kernel.

Hi!
Which kernels can I use for original rom, if I want to overclock? HCDR, or Deep, or what? It will make the phone instable, or not?
Thank You!

You can use any. nFinity MC4 offers more features though, like Smartass Governor. It can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995301
Else, you can use HCDR Kernel also, if you wish, and decide for yourself which suits you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
It shouldn't make the phone unstable at all. But, in any case, make a Nandroid Backup beforehand.

Thank You

Well M using hell fire .. Cm7 based ....
Which is stable till 729 Mhz overclock m using max 729 and min 490 (I guess)
Phone is Much faster than before and love playing angry birds

I read all the 2 posts, but Im not sure to change the original slow kernel, for a faster. All have some bugs, battery life, wifi, etc...
I dont know, which could be better for the stock rom, or which could be better than the original.
Anyway, I want to try one of that, but I dont know which.
How can I flash just the kernel? And also back up my programs with titanium, or mybackup?
It clears everything like the rom flashing?

Ok, I made it, its cool, and faster. Thanks for the help.

is the overclocking "app" in standard cm7? Or i must go to market or anything else to download it?

[Q] Did i do it all for nothing?

so here is the thing i found this forum because i was looking for a way to overclock my G3 so my games wouldn't lag anymore .... i flashed kyrillos 7.0 non-oc rom and then i fleshed fugumod kernel installed Setcpu and now my phone is running on 800 MHz max i downloaded ninja jump and pes and my phone is still lagging when i play them did i do all this for nothing is there some way ???

I would suggest, since you are already running 7.0, check the link Kyrillos ROM v7.1 and update your ROM to v7.1 (its so much better, though optional), post that Flash G3Mod v 1.6 Kernel.
Then using Set CPU you can OC more than 800 Mhz.
Note : Dont forget to read the instructions carefully for Kyrillos 7.1 ROM, G3Mod Kernel and SetCPU.....remember, you do all this at your own risk..check my signature for my stats...

1.i have kyrillos 7.0 non-oc so i dont know if i can upgrade to 7.1
2.i had G3mod v 1.6 but my phone freezed after 3 min of using it so i flashed fugumod
3.i dont want to overclock more then 800 MHz because i dont want my phone to die

Go to 7.1 link given above, and save the file in your SD Card and rename it as update.zip
Then from CWM recovery, install it and you would have 7.1 (read the link, you got to have 7.0 installed to install 7.1, which u already have)
2ndly as far as OC goes, no one would want to have their cell die..my question is Do you guarantee that OC at 800 Mhz will not make ur phone dead? (just a food for thought, dont make this bug you )
What i normally do is, using SetCPU i OC only while playing game..i normally keep it as 600-1200 MHz, on demand.....after I am done...i set it back to 200-800 Mhz on demand...and I normally play for a couple of hours at stretch...nothing has happened to my phone so far...but at the same time, I know when you run at max speed, you are bound to tire early....decide what you want more

a friend told me that 7.1 isn't that diffrent from 7.0 so i don't think i will update

maybe u can try set it on performance that always helps a bit for me but i dont know

I am surprised...you sure have not visited the link for 7.1 and read the changelog for what all has been updated vis-a-vis 7.0.(though as stated in my 1st post to you above, it is optional, what you need to decide is whether to have a Kernel which lets you to overclock, if at all you intend to overclock at higher values.)....have what suits you cheers mate.

thx for this help !
I'm looking forward to do this update (didn't know it was possible with that zip)
Some Q:
- Will it keep all installs, settings and apps as they are now? (I have K7.0-OC)
- I have G3-1.7 (looking forward to the battery fix), won't it harm this kernel or will of flash the fugumod again? (and do I need to reflash afterwards?)
- I have ext4 with many installs, won't it be damaged after updating?
- I don't have a swap, is it needed? Does it make a difference? (in the g3mod app I've set all to ext4, does this move the swap to ext4? It's 500Mb and half used by now...)
I wouldn't want to ruïn my system now, since it's finally running (not always smooth, dough...)

I suggest using fugumod ultra as that has an OCed bus so games wont lagg.

- I don't have a swap, is it needed? Does it make a difference? (in the g3mod app I've set all to ext4, does this move the swap to ext4? It's 500Mb and half used by now...) SWAP is used as a temporary memory, it is only optional, so choice is yours, I had it in past, right now, i dont have it on my configuration.
I wouldn't want to ruïn my system now, since it's finally running (not always smooth, dough...)
If its not running smooth, why do you worry about not ruining it, you can try various things on the forum, and you will have finally known, what to keep and what not to!
Others will give their views too here so you would know.

I installed, but it didn't ask for wiping (do I HAVE to do it manualy, because it's better not of course, now that I have everything installed.)
Also, I think it makes my phone slower :-/
Or would the wipe help???

Dont worry about the quadrant score, its misleading.
You can get a higher quadrant score by some tweaks, but more importantly.
See if your phone is more responsive, much faster, no lags, no freezes. If it is there, quadrant doesnt matter.

Brother, it does not ask for wiping, you have to do it manually...Also Supercharger doesnt work for me however lagfix does, but again I would say more than quadrant score, you should be concerned about the performance of the phone and responsiveness.
