Hey everyone!
I was wondering...
So far, the HD2 in Android is able to run at a maximum of 1190Mhz. Is there a way to remove this limit and allow Android to increase the CPU clock frequency?
It'd be awesome to see what the Quadrant score would be if speeds of 1.3Ghz were used And Android would be blazing fast
Bump....isn't anyone as interested as I am?
No, in order to reach a higher clock speed the Kernal would have to be modified. But even then many other variables will also need to be considered. Vcore will need to be adjusted, and since at 1.2GHz it's already been increased they would have to increase it further in order not to hit a ceiling causing the CPU to become unstable under load.
Modifying code will also mean that other parts of the Kernal or OS might not play well together. Bugs can be created and would need to be fixed.
Sometimes even doing this will reduce performance rather than increasing. There is a reason why they havn't gone above that speed for now or ever.
Have a great day sir.
frankly saying just don't see the point of doing that. personally i wouldn't want my HD2 to smell like burnt chicken

Benchmark scores are ultimately pointless, unless all you want to do with your phone is have willy-waving competitions with other HD2 owners.
"My build get's 3 more points in Linpack than you" big fat hairy deal.
It makes no difference, the only thing that matters is whether your build is fast enough, stable enough, and that you are happy with it. Why melt your phone just to say you've got the highest score in a completely arbitrary set of tests?

Search my kernel thread. I posted benchmarks at 1.3Ghz. There is really little point to it. I am back running at 1Ghz again.

I can validate this. I have been using many different kernels and for my money Hastarin's r8 (maximum cpu speed 998mhz) runs the smoothest and most stable, while giving me 6ma in standby (with 3G on).
Overclocked at 1.9ghz I saw some minor speed improvements but not really all that much and the battery drain was horrendous. Clock speed is overrated, there isn't really anything available on Android that requires more than 1ghz anyways. I have been playing IQ and Final Fantasy 8 with my wii remote on my current CM6 ROM with Hastarin's kernel and everything is smooth as butter.
Benchmark scores are useful to compare kernels and cpu governors, and I really only use Quadrant to look for big changes (+/- 200 points or more). I just updated from an Elbartome kernel to Hastarin r8 and saw an immediate 200 point Quadrant boost using an interactive governor at 1ghz and bettery battery drain.
The real differences are in the kernel, not the clock speed and as kernels get more and more efficient, you will see higher benchmarks from the same clock speed.
Remember that first Cotulla ROM we got on our HD2s in the very beginning? That was 1ghz and it ran like crap (actually amazing for a first ever port) compared to what we have now.

Again, it's the kernel you are using.
Has nothing to do with the phone, WinMo ROM, or Radio or anything.
All the ROMs in the dev section tell you which kernel they use. If they use Hastarin kernel you will not be able to OC it, I think everyone else uses an OC to 1190mhz kernel, so using their ROM or their kernel will give you the higher clock speed.
Why you guyz give this type of answer he didn t ask if you were agree to overclok just if it would be possible to overclock more that 1190 stop stupid answers we dont give a sh** if you think overclocking is useless just dont reply....
To answer: i ve see dev hd2 running 1323mhz but wasn t stable enough. Impossible to released the kernel as the increase of Vcore was causing excessive hotness and autoshutdown

Pull your head in.
The OP asked a question and I answered it. I have run at 1.3 just fine but have chosen not to do so. Not everyone could of course. I have been lucky with my phone.
If you don't like my answer you're free to ignore it but there is no need for posts like yours.

seems to me the ultimate kernel would be the r8 with undervolt under 1000 , and overvolt above 1000 to maintain sability .. i dun care about battery , i carry 2 with me

Did you happen to notice that out of every reply to this thread, yours was the least coherent and offered the least amount of useful information?
The one nugget of information you tried to give wasn't even accurate. It IS possible to release a 1.3ghz kernel, but one has not been publicly released because, as hastarin pointed out, it doesn't really improve performance.
hastarin is a kernel developer, he knows more about this stuff than any of us and I am sure the OP could use the information provided by him and all of us who actually use different kernels and either OC or don't.
Thanks everyone. While it is true that all I wanted to know was if it was possible, a little exra knowledge can't hurt anyone Hastarin, I use your kernel, and admit it's amazing! Guess I don't really need 1.3Ghz as long as the device runs smooth, right? Quadrant speeds aren't totally relevant but I like to show off sometimes, like we all do
so hastarin's kernel allow speed up to 998 mhz?
With respect, this guys post isn't the most coherant but he is French so let's not be too judgemental.
He's also got a point. He's not meaning everyone, especially not hastarin, but posts #4, 5, 6 and 7 are pointless, uninformative and even wrong.
I'm not a big one for philosophy but Plato said "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something". People should just stick to posting in threads that they can usefully contribute to.
I hope this post contributes in the way of reminding people that the post counter is not a measure of intelligence, experience or forum standing.

if you run the device overclocked and at maximum cpu it will generate additional heat and wear on the internal components. the build-in cooler is not designed to dissipate this heat, thus shortening the device's lifespan. besides that it shortens batterylife.

Been running overclocked to 1152000 since yesterday. Battery not noticably different. Using SetCPU which downclocks when Streak is not doing anything. Nice benchmark results, smooth as butter interface, games run very sweetly, no crashes. Indeed it may shorten device life but not outside acceptable boundries. Obviously if you go crazy with it it will do some damage. Bit like a Turbo vs Nitrous?

that seems reasonable. max overclock would be around 1.3 ghz i presume.
the snapdragon does frequency stepping so there wouldnt be any need to use a program for that.

If you install dj_steve's rom it's already overclocked. OC does make a lot of difference even at 200mhz. I was only getting less than a thousand on quadrant but with the OC and the new rom, there are times that i get past 2200 almost as good as my G2 but not quiet....

Hey guys,those lucky bas*ards over at the G2 forums have a kernel with overclocking up to 2GHz.Where is the DHD version of it,huh?
Yeah,I know,such a high overclock will most probably damage our phones and battery will go completely all the way to hell,but c'mon!Don't any of you wanna try it?Plus,we get 3200+ @1,6Ghz while the G2 gets just over 3000(something like 3006) @2Ghz in quadrant!Imagine what the DHD will do with 2GHz!And we are supposed to have better quality CPUs!
So come on,dev up!
With the current UK temperatures the only benefit of having a 2Ghz overclock would be a warm hand/pocket.
As a technical exercise/project it may have some benefit, but practically what use is a DHD that will get really hot, really quick. And then the battery dies, or the thermo cut out kicks in.
I would never clock at 2ghz...that's asking for trouble and the voltage would be to risky...no one is going to make a 2ghz kernel for the DHD

Well..I guess it is a matter of risk...
I am no expert, but I can imagine overclocking to 2Ghz, if possible, will require a lot of overvolting and may seriously affect your cpu....for the worse...
Even for a short time, if you are not sure what will happen, are you really willing to potentially give up your phone?

Yeah it can be done...There is a 1.7ghz kernel out..(its a risky overclock so its not for download on the public forums)
You can drive a car with your feet if you want to but that doesn't make it a good idea
2ghz is twice its clock speed...if you really want 2ghz then wait for the dual cores...1.5ghz is the max safe overclock...and even then its not been tested over a long period of time.
Saying the G2 is stable at 2ghz is meaningless.....there are so many different variables, its just not that black and white.

No!
Using any CPU frequency that is not default ( underclocked or overclocked ) requires testing and manipulating the various variables. The CPU needs to be in sync with the GPU and the other parameters. Needs modifications in the kernel itself. The device is not made to run at those frequencies. You will burn your device, sooner or later.

Yes and device can freeze the most of times.
So I've been messing around with different roms and kernels for the past few weeks and finally settled on CM6 6.1.1, and the snap 7.6 bfs kernel, for stability and speed. I turned on the turbo mode with snap, OC'd to 1152mhz (freezes at 1192), killed all apps, and ran quadrant.
[Picture of a 2330 benchmark screencap was supposed to go here, but I don't have eight post haha]
I know thats pretty good, my scores average from 2100-2350, but I'm looking to make it even quicker. What can I do?
Thanks!

Benchmark scores don't matter. I don't even check them anymore. Wether I get a 1400 or 2200 its still gonna dial a number at the same speed. Im not playing call of duty on my phone or anything. I want efficiency.
A benchmark does not actually show how fast your phone is....
Cyanogen himself stated this.
quadrant scores =/= to your phone being 'fast'.
But if you care about synthetic benchmarks then you could trick your file system into giving you quadrant scores in the 3000+ range.
by the way thanks for posting this in the relevant subsection of the evo forum dedicated to development this will absolutely further the development of android.
Yeah man, don't worry about benches. If you want to brag about how high it is just PhotoShop it. It's all about smoothness and real world performance/battery life for me. Just find what setup works best on your phone
Edit: and this goes in the q and a section

Mods: Please move to the correct section.

Also keep in mind that the EVO's Snapdragon CPU was never a problem, it's still competitive even with the newer CPUs (with the exception of the upcoming A9's both single and especially dual core). Most of the "hacks" that raise the Quandrant score over 2000 are just that, hacks. They manipulate the other tests (non-CPU specific ones) to raise the score and make you think that you've just achieved some kind of new level of performance when in fact you'll see pretty much no difference.
Over clocking will help a little but like I said the problem isn't the CPU; a lot of the lag you may see on the EVO is because of the GPU. Nobody has figured out out how to overclock the GPU so over clocking the CPU will make no difference with the GPU. There have been some improvements in the drivers and if you're running CM or MIUI, you already have them. Gingerbread slightly improves some of the core graphics in Android so you'll see a boost over pre-Gingerbread Android but I think what we should all be waiting on is for the new Adreno 200 GPU drivers that Google will release when the OTA 2.3 update for the N1 drops. It wont magically make our EVO's into Nexus S' or anything but I wouldn't be surprised to see a noticeable boost in performance.
Oddly enough, I'd rather have the transition animations that come with some of the custom ROMs, even if they take longer. They provide a much more "fluid" experience. I don't like the jarring, speed-driven, animation-free transitions that come with stock ROMs, because they lack polish. As soon as I saw videos of those animations, I was in love. LOL. Seriously though, lag and lack of animations (which consequently actually help hide lag and load times) are the two things I see holding back the polish of Android. Just as an example (not trying start a flame war here, people), look at the animation when going from portrait to landscape in iOS. Then look at Android's lack thereof. THAT is what Android needs-to actually FEEL faster, not necessarily BE faster. So try something like that if you want the phone to feel more fluid instead of just achieving raw benchmark speed. Again, just my opinion (kind of sad that I feel the need to put that disclaimer in every post lately).

Hi,
I've noticed a huge performance difference between kernels and the roms they're used with.
For example:
I was using AOKP and Franco kernel and got around 20000 antutu points, I've switched to Carbon Rom (because of the build in pie control) and Franco kernel and only get around 13000 points, that's a huge difference.
As a test I've installed Matr1x-kenel on Carbon and get around 21000 points.
I really like Franco-kernel and all the tweaks it offers but don't like the huge drop in benchmarks, I know benchmarks are not a real representation of actual performance but it's still a big difference.
This also occurs in Quadrant and Geekbench.
So my question is why does this happen?
Aren't most roms supposed to be compatible with most kernels?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.
I can't answer your question as to why that happens (no doubt someone else will) but you seriously should just stop bothering with benchmarks and use your own eyes and experiences as a measure of how good a kernel/ROM is. I doubt you could find a kernel which made the phone visibly slow or that affected usability so I don't see what your concern is tbh.
Thanks for your answer.
Yeah, I read that a lot on XDA, don't trust benchmarks...I understand that but they must have some meaning.
I mean, if not why do they exist or do people bother using them?
To be honest I don't really notice any real performance difference between most kernels I've tested.
Best regards
some roms include many optimizations(like skia/dalvik, krait optimizations, and others), while some dont. its not thekernel thats crapping out on you, its the rom.

your eyes can be decieved.. they can see whats happening in the ui for example, but you can not see the complex calculations that are being performed or how your cpu is really performing. you can have a slow device whos ui is quick.
OK, I can understand that not all roms are equal but why does changing the kernel have such a seamingly big impact?
If a rom is bad to begin with it should stay that way no matter what kernel you use with it.
Offcourse what do I know, I'm not a developer so my knowledge on the subject is limited.
I'm just trying to understand what's going on...

kernels vary too, and they impact greatly because they control just about everything in the phone, kinda like a brain. since the kernels themselves vary, one kernel might be better set up than another to deal with certain code from a certain rom. and then also, every phone reacts differently to each kernel(and roms to a point). thats why its recommended to try out different kernels, combos. only then you can find the perfect combo for you/your device. what works great for somebody, can be lousy for another.
OK, so if i understand correctly it boils down to this:
1. You can do benchmarks but don't base your opinion on just the benchmark scores.
2. Roms can vary greatly in optimizations and efficiency of coding.
3. Kernels can also vary greatly in optimizations and efficiency of coding.
4. There's no such thing as a "best for everyone rom/kernel combo".
5. Not all roms/kernels play equally nice with each other.
6. Play around with as many roms / kernels as possible and decide what works best for ME based on MY experience.
Thanks for the advice.
Best regards.
Its been well over a year since I ran any benchmark of any sort but I tested Franco and carbon because that's what I'm on and you mentioned low scores. I'm on Franco m3 with some tweaked settings and carbon nightly from 7-5. Antutu gave me 20636. I'm using stock CPU and GPU frequencies.

Maybe the nightly Carbon rom is more optimized?
I'm on Carbon 1.7 Stable and used Franco nightly 162 to test with.
When I benchmark I try to be as consistent as possible ie same temperature, performance governor, airplane mode etc.
I even cooled my Nexus in the freezer for some minutes to eliminate thermal throttling (yeah I know, watchout for condensation) but still got the same low scores.

It might be, I didn't do anything special. I left all my background apps running, didnt close anything in the recents, didn't cool the phone first. I just downloaded it and hit start. I use the interactive governor tweaked a bit, and I also tweaked the hotplug settings so it more readily onlines all 4 cores instead of waiting for some of the higher loads to trigger it.

I use the interactive governor tweaked a bit, and I also tweaked the hotplug settings so it more readily onlines all 4 cores instead of waiting for some of the higher loads to trigger it.

Well, I had to try it myself so I did a factory reset, cleared system,data and dalvik, installed latest carbon nightly.
With stock kernel I almost reached 21000 points, with franco I barely get 17000 points.
Very strange...
edit:
I stand corrected, did a second benchmark and am now getting 20880 points...
are you benchmarking with your cpu speed benchmarked set as highest and lowest cpu speed? you should. if you dont put the same cpu speed as highest and lowest then itll scale up and down. if it scales, you dont actually know what speed its testing and it gives you inconsistamt scores. you want the cpu speed to be the same throughout the test.
When I benchmark I set the governor to performance, this should keep the cpu running at maximum speed without scaling unless I'm mistaking...

meh, performance is the worst for benchmarking. its such a deceiving name. try either ondemand or interactive. set your cpu speed to be the same high and low.

Woow, that's a great tip, I now get 22003 points with Matr1x-kernel.
