Hi. I'm wondering, does the shubcraft/cyanogen build already have an equivalent to setCPU? Or we can still install it to improve performance.
I'm asking because I saw a post saying that their phone was throttling properly without setcpu and saw somewhere (i think) saying that there's a program being used by the cyanogen build....
any input is always appreciated.
thanks
Easy answer
Install setcpu and use it to monitor. It does seem to peak at 998.

thanks.... but i was more concerned if there's already an app running like setcpu (preinstalled) and if setcpu will conflict if there is such an app preinstalled (as from what i've read in some posts that there is although i'd rather confirm it with someone)

i had a problem with setcpu on the shu8i cyanogen build. the sampling time and the cpu threshold were to high and would cause major lag.
No cm6 do not have setcpu preinstalled

why a new thread? this is related to that build and the chef/users of that build can help you out there. this should be moved and merged with that thread.
quit wasting space people! i havent seen this amount of useless threads since Hero ROM's were first developed for the G1... and that was alot of useless threads.

Hello
I have the Sprint Hero, am running the Aloysius ROM (last update that came out).. I have been using the SetCPU, but everytime i turn the screen off and then on again, all the values reset themselves to 245mhz max and min, down from the 528mhz/480mhz it was originally set to..
Why in the world does it keep doing this??? Its getting seriously irritating, and slows down the phone tremendously when trying to answer calls that come in while in sleep..
check your profiles. there is one for sleep/screen off. Probebly your problem. If not, then uninstall/reinstall.

I didnt check any of the boxes for the profiles.. is this the problem?
you aren't supposed to use setcpu with android 2.1
I don't think Aloysious has the overclocking kernel. You'd need it to manually adjust the frequency.

Ahhh Ic.. There in lies the problem...
Thanks.. I actually do prefer the Aloysius 1.0 over the 2.0 versions he has out.. It seemed to run much smoother, especially in screen transitions and just operated much smoother...
Will be going back to the 1.0 tonight...

Thats correct... FLIPZ does a great job of explaining in more detail about what setcpu does and how it works or (lack there of) in the Setcpu vs OverClock Widget section and he also explains that it may be the new sprint radio that could be the cause for slowing things down in >ANDROID DEVELOPMENT > 05/18/10 l FRESH TOAST v2.1 l BFS + OVER CLOCK.....im a noob to the site so cant post links
use the Overclock widget with 2.1
Since I rooted my phone yesterday, I decided to try an overclocker. I was saddened to see that it never registered mine as overclocking. I am using the Over Clock Widget. My processor runns at 528 and no higher, even when I select 585 or 600. Not a huge deal after I saw what was happening.
When it runs at 528 it runs nice and smooth and after 60 seconds, even while using, it drops to 480. When my screen goes off and then I use my phone again the processor is at 246 and won't adjust back up unless I reset it in the Over Clock Widget.
My question is, do you think this is an error with the Over Clock Widget or a phone issue. The visual performance lag I get existed before the app install and even before I rooted it, because I ran the linpack for android and got 0.807 for my MFLOPS. Then I ran it when it was showing 528, I got a 2.294 MFLOPS. Has anyone else seen this behavior. I always thought it was memory issue with the phone and have always used a task killer to clear up memory and performance was better, but now that I see what seems to be going on with the processor, I don't think it was memory now. When I reset it to 528 this phone runs smooth but as soon as it clocks down, back to lag and slow response.
Is there another app that would be setting my processor down that I'm not aware of? My next step is to wipe and reset the phone and run the linpack test and see what happens. I wanted to get thoughts before i do this though. Sorry this is so long.

I read alot! This is my first time trying to overclock so before purchasing a more than likely better over clocking app, I want to know if anyone else has seen this using other over clockers. I have read many people over clockign the Eris getting speeds of around 700mhz, but mine won't hit over 528 as mentioned.
The Original Eris Overclocking:THREAD HERE Didn't mention any of this if you might have been refering to that thread.
Was that menat to be helpfull. I searched all across XDA and found not notable information on this. I read what I could but nothing that mentions what I have described above. If you have a link that has some information on this issue, please post. Looking for some feedback though still.
During your overclocking search on xda, did you happen to come across the setCPU thread? The app that you have to pay for on the market that is free there for xda uers? Search setCPU.
Also, most roms are already oc'd @ 710 without any app at all to control it.

he's more than obviously running the stock 2.1 rooted with an oc widget!
relax, flame off boys.
if you want to overclock there are several roms that are set to overclock by default(easiest method)
or you could flash a new kernel if you want to stay stock(not so easy for a new guy method)
and then there is always the i want to know whats going on write my own kernel method(much less easy then any other method listed)
if you want the stock feel only with all the root perks try plain jane. and as for posting a new thread like this feel free to PM me at any time before putting yourself out on a limb for the boys to jump on you im glad to help anyone avoid catching the heat/ informing ANYBODY
Yep thanks for the response guys. I am running stock. Just freaked me out when I saw that ahppening. Thought I might have had a screwed up phone. I will PM next time Sj. Thanks..still reading though. SetCPU did bring up more than just using overclocking which pointed more towards kernel rewrites and custom roms.
Anyone else using these apps?
my best multiplier so far is 1.33x how is everyone else doing?
ill post a list of my settings if anyone is interested

Unfortunately i see screen freezing with setCPU also. Not as bad or as often, though. I dont use any of the cpu controllers.
what build are you using? i use shubcraft 1.4d with no problems

I've tried it with all of the current builds. shubCRAFT, for me, was no different regarding screen freezing. But one main reason I don't use a CPU controller is the smothness of scrolling between screens deteriorates after a bit. As soon as I remove the controllers, scrolling smooths out.
let it autodetect, disabled autoscreen rotation. this stopped 95% of my screen freezing problems.
Hello there XDA I just switched to the Aria from the Captivate. I am new to Android modding, so please bear with me.
I like the phone, It doesnt bother me losing screen space. However it is a bit slow with the 600 MHZ processor.
So if there are some people kind enough to guide me to/through the following it would be appreciated.
1. I would like to overclock it a bit, maybe to 800.
2. General performance tweaks
3. Get rid of Att bloatware
4. Root ( z4root is not in the market anymore and ATT disables side loading.)

Everything u need is in the android Dev. Section for the aria its really simple. To find and to follow..I use cm6 rc2. It overclocks very nicely

Hey Joshua, being new to the Aria as well (less than a month), I haven't looked into overclocking it... but I am running CM 6.1 RC 2, what do I need to do to start overclocking?
Install SetCPU to overclock. I wouldn't go over 825mhz as it starts getting unstable.
As for rooting, search for posts by user asiancuta. He did a really good write up that included a key point I didn't see anywhere else. It's titled NOOBZ: easy guide to rooting your aria.... Read all instructions, and make sure you understand it first.
To install cyanogenmod 6.1 rc2 do a search for That aria - she's so racy!

In the other overclocking thread (or overcloking as the OP spelled it ) several people posted that they were running at 864... what type of instability is likely? Also, doesn't overclocking HAVE to have some sort of adverse effect? Like reduced reliability or an increased likelihood of hardware failure? If there are no adverse effects, why would HTC not set the CPU higher from the factory?
I want to try it, but I feel like I pushed the limits of my comfort zone just by rooting and installing CM...

I always lean on the side of caution when it comes to overclocking a phone. I don't want to fry the processor since I can't replace it as easily as one on a computer.
Processors are never set from the factory to run at their fastest.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
While it might seem odd since all these phones have the same hardware they don't all respond the same to overclocking. Some people can do 864. I can't even get my phone to do anything over 825 and even 825 gives me issues. I like to keep mine between 768-787. Over doing it can cause damage and shorten the life of the processor but keeping it around 800 is probably safe as long as you moniter temps. Heat is the real enemy here. Manufacturers are trying to balance cost, reliability, battery life. Our little phone use a smaller battery and so a lower clock speed keeps the phone running longer. And the aria is a mid range phone, they don't want it to be faster than the more expensive phones. Also Higher clock speeds will drain your battery faster. At 768 the phone is noticeably snappier and the battery drain over stock isn't even noticeable.
Huh. That's good to know, Callmearia. However I don't even know where to start on any of this. I've never 'flashed' a phone or anything like that before.

This is a really good guide explaining how to root your phone and install a custom recovery, Clockwork, with which you can flash ROMs, make backups, and a bunch of other stuff:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788737
You will still not be able to sideload apps just by rooting though. You will need to flash a ROM in order to do that. Check out the Android Development section, it is all there.

I think most people can hit 864 now using CM6.1 RC2. I think some tweaks were made to allow it. Before I was only hitting 825mhz or 844mhz when I ran in to stability problems... but now I have none. Or, it could be due to the fact it's colder here now.
Alright, so after some adb troubles with Ubuntu 10.10, I am now rooted, woo!
So now, where to go from here?
This worked flawlessly and easy. Less than 5 minutes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7449486&postcount=1
EDIT : I see that you already got rooted.
You have two choices for Attn1's custom ROMS
Liberated or Cyanogenmod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821642
Take in mind that CM has more customizable features, INCLUDING OVERCLOCKING. Liberated doesn't.
Place the .zip on your SD card. Enter clockworkmod recovery by holding down the volume down button after restarting phone. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache. Go to install zip from Sdcard. Pick the file. It should install. wait, and reboot and continue.
Customize it to your liking. Download apps/widgets
Turn off unnecessary background items. (Auto Sync)
Decrease Brightness
Only use GSM networks
(these are battery saving tips....lots more)

That is the SetCPU for XDA members.
To install, go through ADB in the command line, or download FASTAPP Install from the Market and place the .apk on your sd card and install it from there.

That's probably true. I haven't tried going over 825 since way back with dumfuqs kernel.
Alrighty... did all that, now running cyanogenmod on my Aria! \o/
No more ATT bloatware.
I made sure to do a nandroid backup just in case.
Also overclocked to 768MHz. Phone seems a bit quicker.
Thanks guys
Any other tips?
Oh also adb stopped working again on Ubuntu >.< Anyone know how to fix that?

Make sure you install the google apps package.

Try leaving the OC alone after the reflash.. It's defaulted to 864mhz and it works flawlessly for me.
It was default 600MHz for me.

Its different for every one. My VM is a local number. You can always just use your phone number.
I recently set my VM to go thru my Google Voice number now.

Using my own number worked.
However, now my phone is freezing randomly, and causing the launcher to hang. (ADW and LauncherPro both do this)
It seems android.process.acore always takes alot of CPU time when it does this.
Tried posting this in the Taboonay thread, but it won't let me because I have less than 10 posts. Also tried searching, but didn't really find anything relevant, so I'll try asking here.
I just got my A500 last week. My first ROM attempt was Virtuous Galaxy, which was fun, but since it wasn't Acer stuff, some things didn't work, which I didn't like. Next, I tried Virtuous Picasso, which was great, but I could not get the cell service to stop sucking my battery.
Now I'm on Taboonay, and everything is going great so far. My question is about overclocking. With Virtuous Picasso, there were text files I could edit to set my overclock speeds. I don't see anything like that with Taboonay, or I just can't find the correct info. Is overclocking enabled by default on Taboonay? If so, how do I tweak the settings? Do I need to use something like SetCPU, or is there something built into Taboonay? Thanks in advance...

Running SetCPU, it says my min is 216, and my max is 1000. How do I overclock?
It has been a few weeks since i was running tabonay, but as i remember to overclock you needed to change the kernel. I used the richardtrip one shown in the first or second post.
Then setcpu will let you change the oc.
If you use setcpu or cpumaster(my favorite) delete the /etc/init.d folder and reboot. Then set the cpunsettings you want.

I renamed init.d to init.d.orig and rebooted, and I tried both SetCPU and CPUMaster, and they both say the max is 1000, they won't go any higher. I guess I'll try updating the kernel like you suggest?
read forums
The answer to all of your questions and more are in the Dec threads you mentioned.I have read all of those threads as im watching the Roms close.all the drv do awesome job
