SETCPU

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

[APP] LeoCPUSpeed

Many of you may not be aware but a dev known as NetRipper has released an app in the non-U.S. HD2 section known as LeoCPUSpeed.
In essence the app allows you to manually, directly control the processor of the HD2. It's still being perfected but functions great, and is simple to use.
WARNING: Overclock at your own risk.

P.S. Yes, I have permission from NetRipper to post this in the US section...lol

thanks for the heads up. looks like this may come in handy when using task intensive processes.

uh, lol ok....

Just an update -
After clocking cpu to 998mhz, the need for speed game that was stuttering before run smoothly now. (Also have chainfire patches installed, though does not explicitly use GL).
Highly recommended app.

Just keep it turned on all the time. The sputtering you see from time to time throughout the OS is when the processor ramps up the clock from 768mhz to 998mhz anyway. The 200mhz does not really make too much of a difference in battery life. I now keep it turned on all the time and boy oh boy, the HD2 is like butter on a stick.

believe me this helps with games like street fighter and nfs underground they otherwise would lag with out some overclocking

I did a quick trial with nfs on 768 straight and seems pretty smooth as well, I guess the problem was that it was switching between 768/998mhz that was the problem. Anyways, works better regardless!

Do we still need SetCPU with shubCraft build??

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.

How can i run my Phone STABLE at 1.26 GHZ using SetCPU or some other program?

So, I can only run my phone at a MAX 1.3 GHZ without it crashing..
How can I run it at 1.26 without it crashing?
I am running Kings Kernel #11CFS
with Virus Sense Rom RC3
Is there some setting I need to chang? or use a different kernel..

why would you want too ? i would imagine that would kill the battery and make the phone very warm ?

Not all CPU's are created equal. If yours is crashing a lot at that frequency, chances are that yours will almost never run stable.

you could try using conservative scaling but it still probably wont be stable. most evo's cannot handle it.

Heat is your enemy. I suggest you try my hardware mod to really crank up the freq.

Overclocking
I just rooted my phone and I downloaded setcpu and I want to overclock it, but the max that i get is 998. And was wondering how can i get it at 1.267GHz. Im new to the android. Can someone please help.

The stock kernel does not allow over clocking, you'll have to try out a kernel from the development section, I recommend the newest Kingz.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

Download a kernel that supports OC.

I tinkered around with OC'ing a few months ago I could never get it over 10xx without crashing. I just learned to live without setcpu.
I agree with voodoo there's really no benefit, unless you like pulling the battery. I didn't notice any better performance or speed while overclocking.

Lol... [op]is there a particular reason why you want it that high? In all honesty there is no benefit to this.

Indeedj this will cause ecen more battery drainage and additional heat that might damage the phone
Sent from the iPhone Assassin

Mine is running very stable at 1.26Ghz and great battery life. Running BakedSnack 1.8 along with kernel #6. I'm using Overclock Widget instead of SetCpu as SetCpu was causing lagging response on my EVO.

I dont need 1.26 GHZ
I just wanted to Know why my phone wasnt running stable at 1.26 even thoug it said it was capable of doing it..

I always wondered when we'll start seeing little fans in our phones, or heat sinks on the back.

ahahahahaha

I agree with most ppl in that this phone is wicked fast as it is and its just not worth the risk/reward
HTC EVO4G A.K.A. Usain Bolt
Linpack: 34-35 MFLOPS Avg
Quadrant: 1500+
Kernel: King's #6 BFS
FPS2D: 54-55 FPS
ROM: Fresh 3.3
PRI: 1.77

I totally agree that heat is the undesired side effect of the overclocking of the Evo. I had been running mine at 1.152MHz and the noticed a couple of different colored spots on the screen especially during boot up with the bright white splash screen. This was caused by the excess heat from the CPU. I had my screen replaced due to dust under the glass and it is perfect, so no more overclocking for me.

[Q] How to install hastarin's 7.6 kernel??

Hi dear!
I try to install Mdeejay's Froyo Sense v.3.1 but people said this version will be
much faster and smooth with hastarin's 7.6 kernel.
However, I don't know how to install only the kernal apart from android rom.
Can anybody help or explain me how to install it ?
and.. can anybody give me the link to download hastarin's 7.6 kernel?
Thank you.

Wow, ok...since you're new:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787588
But try search next time. See hastarin's readme.txt included in the folder when you download it. It'll walk you through the process.

Thanks man.
Yeah I'm new.. haha
Which one do u prefer to use, overclocking or not?

Not really. Besides, you can always make a profile in setcpu to lower the clock speed if it becomes too hot, if you're worried about it.

Can't say. I've personally not compared them. I just prefer to have to option to overclock or not, but I always do.
