"safe' overclocking speed?

Is there any kind of general consensus as to what is the safest speed one can overclock the 8125 without hurting it?
I have been running mine at 234 since last Friday evening and I'm not even sure I've had to reboot it.
Thanks
David

240 or 260
it depends on what program you are using to overclock. If you are using the omapclock with omapclockplus, you can overclock to 240. Same goes with using omapclock and smartskeys. If are using something like the BatteryStatus plugin, you can clock to 260.
In actuality, if you use the BatteryStatus plugin and overclock using any of the other two methods, it will indicate 260, even though the others will indicate 240. Probably some sort of programming issue. Of Key note is that when you use omapclock, the consule program indicates the default at 180Mhz, even though the default settings of your phone will indicate 195Mhz. BatteryStatus appears to default at 195Mhz, so it has a different base point.

My 8125 is overclocked at 273mhz using battery status and is running great.

That is a really sweet today screen. Can you share it with us?
Thanks!

Have no probs with a constant 240MHz either.

Thanks for the reply.
I am using Battery Status.
I went ahead and bumped it up last night to 260 and so far no problems. The phone seems ALOT more responsive since overclocking. Not so much from 240-260 but from the default to 240.
Thanks all for the reply, and PS to texasaggie1: "WOOP!"

My overclocking speed
I like to use 221mhz. When I go higher my battery really starts to drain quicker.

Using batterystatus, My Cingular 8125 runs at 299MHZ without problem for almost 3 month now.

hehe, well the today screen i'm using is the Windows_black_2 theme that came in the molski 2.26 rom, and i'm using the Windows Vista wallpaper. The start menu and stuff, I used Wisbar Advance 2 with the Windows Vista theme.

Hi, my name is Paulo and I from Argentina. It's my first post here since I have my O2 XDA Mini S. This site is AWESOME!! I learned a lot from here.
You have to excuse me 'cuase my English is quite awful.
In response to the question:
O2 XDA Mini S with AKU2 running at 264mhz all the time.
I used OmapClock to overclock.

why am i stuck at 663mhz??

can figure out how to get my speeds above 663? i got this giant processor and cannt use near close to all of it??? thanks

Did u try SetCPU for it?

It is AUTOMATIC. Just because you're not seeing the 998mhz, doesn't mean it's not getting there when under adequate load.

It is kinda same like on newer cpus for pc. maybe it says 2.66 Ghz but it is not clocked like that whole time. just "under pressure"

Actually, I recall someone else posting about this a few days ago, and another XDA'er pointed out that the app was measuring one way, and the true speed was actually 1.5 times that measurement. 663*1.5=994.5mhz. Again, you're fine.

SetCpu supposedly works for the nexus but I'm not a fan of that app, I talked to the overclock widget app and he said he's working on support for the nexus

ok i just installed it again for the 2nd time and i will see how it works out, the problem i have with setcpu is that i dont see with setting for the nexus. i see the g1,mytouch and moto droid but i dont think it functions with the nexus very well. idk doesnt suit my needs

Anyone try the Collin_ph Battery Tweak?

Has anyone tried this MOD yet? The OP said it works on the Incredible. To me, it does not seem much different than what SetCPU does.

I see talk on that page of possible clash between setCPU and that mod. I'm partial to being able to see whats going on. Not turning on some mod and figuring "hey its prob working good"

I have tried it and yes its like set CPU but less of a hassle to me because it is already preset, and it comes with some other goodies too
My main issue is it conflicts with kings kernels so I removed it

[Q] Stutter in games

Hi all,
I have just upgraded from a Nexus S to a Nexus 4.
I always played with a free game, "Scopa" of Whatwapp. In the Nexus S, it sometimes stutters... but this is reasonable with such hardware.
However, I have tried it in my Nexus 4 now...and it stutters there too. Maybe more than with the Nexus S...
How could this be possible? This game should not be heavy...
I tried with Antutu to check the performance...and it gave me a score of about 17300, which seems correct/good.
It is noteworthy that I have seen that game playing very smooth with some low-end devices (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Next or Galaxy Pocket).
Any suggestion? Can someone of you try with the same game? May be an issue of that game?
May be a problem of resolution?
Thank you

it's more than likely a background app causing the problems.
Have you closed everything in the android JB task manager?#

App must not be optimized well itself , or for the phone..
I play about every main Game title.. Never get a stutter/lagg

I have just tried Temple Run 2 and it plays smooth. Can you please try that game?
Just to be sure it is a game-related problem.
Thank you

Try which game ?
But yes I'll give it a go for yea Edit: downloading now

What task manager , the nexus does not have one....
Nexus⁴

I've encountered a similar issue, any help would be much appreciated.

It definitely has lagg on the scopa game.
So it's the game not being optimized very well.

Temple Run original does the same.....It's the crappy governor settings.
Set on demand with these settings....
down_differential 30
up_threshold 70
Smooths everything out including OS and is great on battery.

Ok, I currently have everything stock and cannot change anything.
Btw, I'm going to root the device, but I'll keep stock rom for now.
Which tool to you suggest me to change governor settings?
In my old Nexus S I use NSTools.
Thanks
EDIT: I have just flashed CM10.1 M3 .. lol ... but in the performance settings there are not those settings.
Can you suggest me another kernel (with a related tool) to flash?
Thank you

Use any file explorer with root and write access, es file explore for example can but you have to enable write access in its settings.
Make sure your governor is set to 'ondemand' then navigate to sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand and change the 2 settings I mentioned in my last post using your file explorer.
If you like the settings you can make an init.d script to set them at each boot up.

Mmm..I cannot find the subfolder cpufreq under cpu....
which ROM and Kernel are you currently using ?

I'm using a stock/aosp based ROM and kernel.(prime runner+mottley)
I've never used a cm based one before; I guess cm is setup differently... Maybe try sys/.............cpu/cpu0 see if there's an cpufreq/ondemand folder there.. If there is I'm not sure if it would apply to all cores anyway.
Edit... Just remembered, it might be 'system tuner' app that creates the folder there.

Vibration intensity

This app will allow you to change the intensity of the vibration your device gives you, some kernels/mods do this specific feature, but with this app you can change it even on custom kernels or stock roms. You just need root.

A while ago I wrote this app to enhance my personal UX on my N4, I've been told it works well with N5 too, since it might be usefull for some of you guys, I'm sharing it here.
ROOT IS REQUIRED. Please read the app description.

Thanks, that really helped

Working anyone?
All intensities from 1 to 95 feel the same!

Yep working pretty well not to say perfectly.
In case it can help I have Nexus 5 stock rom rooted only.
Maybe depending on how much you changed from stock result could be different...

Maybe you're doing the same mistake as i did.
After you adjust the slider to a new value you need to push the "Set intensity" before you can use the Test button with the new value.
Took me 5 min to realise that.. :|

i need to root for this?
thank you mate

Ya it works amazing on mine and I'm on stock odex with root

Yep, sorry about that, last update changed UI and UX "set intensity" is no longer needed, just select the value and done.

Yep, root is mandatory since it edits system lvl files, since apps can't write on those files, root is mandatory to do so. Sorry if it's an inconvenience. u_u

Great app. I was looking for something like this.

Hey,
I need to make something similar for my HTC one (m8) runnig gpe, the vibration is insane.
Could you shed some light on how this app works?
I'm guessing it's a kernel module which changes the vibration intesity?

Actually it does not play with the kernel at all. Turns out that Nexus LG devices have a file with the intensity, so, basically, this app, overwrites that value on each boot to set the user prefered default and from there the system takes care to get that value and go on.
The file locations it's listed on the "FAQ" part of the app. Some people told me to add support to other devices, but they don't seem to have such file, or at least, not under the same file directory. You could search for it (if it's even there) and If it is (under another directory ofc) I could try to add compatibility to my app and solved.
It actually bothers me that people is rating the app poorly just because they can't read this is ment only for N4 and 5 (since are the only 2 that i know of using that method) ... u_u

Hi All,
work this with AOSP ROM? Where can I find the apk file? I have now no internet connection on my phone, so I could not download it from Store directly.
Thanks in advance!

I use Trickster Mod for controlling the vibration because it also does many, many other things.
