I just wanted to let everyone know I found that if I installed cpu master free version and set it to 608 / 1000 set to boot on and performance selected, my tab runs a whole lot smoother. My wife is able to play bejewelled blitz on facebook with it now so she is happy.
Seems the stock kernels are very Conservative on the scaling and never really run at 1000mhz till you really nail them.
If the battery life sucks a little more, which to me wasn't a biggie cause I get 3 days out of it you can buy CPU Master full version for 1.99 and it will allow you to run a screen off setting too.
Setcpu has done nothing but bogged my transformer down and my nexus S so I tried this one and it doesn't so I am passing on the info.
I am not associated with Cpu Master in any way.
If I helped you click on my THANKS button!
I assume you need to be rooted for this ?
Sounds very interesting ...I may have to try this out.

hey folks,
I would like to know what is the maximum stable overclock possibe for zte blade.
Im using cm7 nightlies and the max overclock frequency i can see is 864MHz. But my device will be stable only upto 691MHz or 710MHz.
What is your blade's max stable overclock.?
I heard some other android devices can be overclocked to their maximum value and remain stable at that value. What about ZTE blade. I think blade gets a lot of performance if it reaches stable at 864MHz. I don't bother the battery life or overheating really.
Is there any hack or something like that.?
672 max stable for me, my old one did 748. depends on your phone.
Has anybody had it over 800 stable?

I think it doesn't really change the speed with that governor, it's designed so you use a program to set the speed yourself, except none exist, I assume it doesn't work at all without it. It needs something to write the desired speed to a system device, if nothing does that then it'll just stay at the same speed.
Test new speeds with performance governor, that keeps the cpu at it's maximum speed, it's not ideal for battery life but you can see if it really is stable at that speed.
I got my blade to 806 mhz, too. I stress tested it with setCPU, and it was stable.
I didn't have the guts to test higher than 806, though.
and I don't leave my phone on overclock.

Just make sure that it isn't set to overclock on boot when you're testing higher speeds. Then the worst that can happen is it crashes & you know it doesn't work. Needs to be done in the name of science, so I know if it's worth enabling 864mhz & above in my kernels, or if nobody can ever get that high.
Nobody has managed to overvolt our cpu (msm7227) yet, I checked Google, it's probably not realistic to hope for it. I'm not sure it's possible at all. So whatever the maximum stable speed for your phone is, you're stuck with it, it'll never get any faster.

It's a totally different cpu to the blade. I could add an option to make your phone run at 1ghz if you want, but it'll just crash straight away, the samsung has a faster & different cpu. We'd need more volts to even attempt it.
Your phone will never run faster than 710mhz stable, if that's what you can get. There is no possible way, other than buying a different phone, to make it run any faster.
I'm still interested to see if anybody can actually run their phone at 864mhz without it crashing, for those few people, they might be able to go faster.
@wbaw , thanks for the info.
Surprised to hear that no one attempted to overvolt msm7227 . I feel it is still a great cpu with adreno 200 included and many current low end phones are having it.
i can get 748 on performance i had it for about half an hour with no reboots
I saw on Antutu benchmark that some people got their blades to 1.5 ghz.
It's probably a hoax.

Hm... The highest CPU rate without crashing was 710 Mhz for my Blade. Any higher values causes a unstable work or just rebooting.
My blade can handle 748 with sd writing but without 806 (but if you write to sd it crashes)

729MHz is stable. 748MHz used to freeze sometimes.

I recently flashed the newest Trinity Kernel on my Nexus 7. I still have the stock ROM. I tried to tweak the CPU settings with ROM Toolbox and the most I can overclock is 1400mhz. Why can't I overclock to 1600? Is it because of the stock ROM? I'm looking into Glazed Jelly Bean as a custom ROM but I'm not sure I want or need to use a custom ROM at this point.
Any suggestions?
Because he dropped the Max. You probably flashed A111 correct? That's a TSVZ meaning it is slightly over clocked and undervolted kernel meant for battery not for performance.

Nice, ill have to look into rooting sometime soon.
Ok, I got the a96 and I've flashed it...
Is there a detailed changelog for each version? The a111 said it was a 1600mhz kernel so I don't understand why it was dropped down to 1400. That's where my confusion was.
I did notice some increase in speed at 1400. I was having some stuttering issues with Dead Trigger and Minecraft PE, and they were less with the 1400. I've got it running at 1600 now but I don't know what it will do to the battery or how well it will perform. I'll find out later. I've run through the battery pretty quickly today, but I was tinkering with it A LOT so it's not accurate.
What kind of tweaks could I do using Rom Toolbox that would help me maximize my battery while overclocking to 1.6?
Dont over clock.. i dont even see a need to. I use the ondemand gov which stutters a little but using interactive clears that up. Also using the CFQ IO as it is the stock IO used. Its stock so its gotta be good . Also you should turn F-Sync off that helps quite a bit. Also you could toggle auto hotplug and make it only run two cores while gaming and then turn it back on when finished so that way it will hotplug cores as it sees necessary. You could also up the voltages a little bit, some CPU's dont like the lower voltage and that will cause stuttering and glitching just up them by 25mV and see if it clears if not try another 25mV.
I will try those things, but I really want to play with overclocking and learn what happens. This is my first Android device so I'm experimenting and playing around.
But I have one more question...I've overclocked to 1.5...I found 1.6 to be the same as 1.5. But it seems that after an hour or so, it resets to 1.3. in ROMToolbox. Why is this?
Don't use rom toolbox. Use the Trinity app. It sticks just fine for me. Besides you support the dev to make better kernels.

youre not the first
Overclocking past 1.4 Ghz doesn't result in any major usability improvements. I've gone up to 1.7 Ghz and the only thing it does is make my tablet really warm and unstable. All you really need for improving system performance is I/O tweaks to speed up app and page loading, and a little bit of GPU overclocking to help with the transitional effects.
and, to be honest, depending which trinity kernel im using, im using either 1100 or 1150mhz mostly. on a111 im using 1100mhz and on a96 i used 1150mhz. with those speeds everything is still fast but a bit better on battery

If you want a little more information about the the overclocking if you havent already you might want to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788759 its the official thread of the trinity kernel for grouper.

Why would you need to overclock so high? Do you want it to explode! xD
Seriously though, would probably advise against it. It's like a whole 700/800 MHz higher than it's meant to run at stock. I'd say it would be very unstable, and probably wouldn't get very far battery-life-wise. 1.6GHz really not enough :/

1.6ghz is ok? or i'll risk something?
I did that speed already. But it is very very unstable. random reboots within 10 minutes of use. also the battery life is very low. and the whole tablet is to hot.
i only was using it to see how fast it could go. that was the max. i am at Cutom Rom - 07/10/2012 - [email protected] Edition V02 - The Ultra Fast Rom - based on last Asus Firmware 10.4.2.13 at this moment.
this is very stable. balanced speed is 1.3 and thats oke. Normal performance speed is 1.6 but i only use that when playing games. You dont need those high speeds for daily use.
If you have the financial means to buy a new tablet - you can try all the time to work on this frequency.
With 1,6ghz i'll risk to break the tablet?
i used 2.0ghz about a week daily use. But now im lowered it to 1.8ghz and it is stable my everyday use. and battery lenght is very good maybe better than stock (i made undervoltage, so cpu uses -50mv less power in any speed than normaly/stock )1.8ghz use 1150mv and lowest speed use 775 mv)

well, if you raise voltage up it may help, but i thing the problem is, that every tablet cpu is "diffrent" than other. This i mean, that these cpu is specsed in other speed than 1.6, 1,8 or 2.0ghz, and some invidiuals might work good in these higher speeds, some get randon reboots / freeze, or some of cpu:s dont even boot higher speeds. (i found out that when few people test my kernel, and it not even booted. And someone it will work fine.) This thing can "cross" by made kernel force cpu speed 1.0ghz at bootup (and i made this my kernel)
Also these tf300 tablet is manufactured atleast couple of diffrent cpu type /cpu id, so kernel have to had support all of these overclocking
It just like computers, some cpu can overclock higher than others, and if you go too high you need extra cooling, and in tablets, it is not possible, like normal pc's
*Most of this is my conclusion only, it may not be 100% accurate truth, but this how i see this thing. And if someone knows better etc, you can correct me *

So I recently changed over to the nexus 4, and I say, it is AMAZING. I just got to the point where the SGS just didnt cut it anymore. It has hung in there for a long time, but its starting to become under-powered for new versions of Android.
So in this guide, I am going to show you how to speed up your Galaxy S, and push it to its max performance.
You will need a custom kernel like Semaphore. I made this guide with no regard to battery life, but i did avoid using un-necessary power.
1. Live OC
- This increases the Bus, Ram and GPU speeds.
- This is very good because information can only be transferred as fast as the bus can transfer it. So if your CPU is fast, but your bus is to slow, it creates a bottle neck. So upping bus speed as well as CPU/GPU/Ram speeds can drastically increase performance.
- Find settings that are stable for your phone. For me this was 123%.
- Note that this will change the CPU clock speed choices that you have. Normal.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. CPU Clock Speed / Governor
- Increasing Clock Speeds allow your processor to calculate more per second, therefore increasing performance.
- Start by finding the maximum frequency that your device is capable of handling, while still keeping stability. For me, this is 1400MHZ.
- Set lowest clock speed to 200 or 400. 200 is the best all-round, and actually uses less power than 100MHZ due to faster race to idle. I use 400 for performance.
- Use a snappy governor. Min/max is great, it is what i use.
- For more battery. lulzactive, ondemand, and smartass are all good.
- Enable smooth UI tweak.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. RAM settings / management.
A. MOAR RAM.
- The Galaxy S has very limited ram, so we must make the best of it.
- It has 500mb, but some is allocated for the camera and GPU, so we only get ~400 in the end.
- Use the Bigmem option. Around 400mb, but breaks 720p recording. Its a good sacrifice.
- Also, Un-install any apps that you are not using! This can free up cache space and leave it for important processes. Go to settings/running/caches for more info.
- Go to settings/developer options/background process limit, and set this to keep more ram free. I use 3.

Click to collapse
B. Enabling Swap
- Enabling swap allows the kernel to use specially allocated memory (on your SD card) to store cached pages that aren't currently being used, instead of storing them in RAM.
- Frees RAM for foreground or heavy processes.
- Make sure you use a fast SD card, and do not set the swappiness to high, both of these can slow your phone down.

4. CM Performance Settings.
- Setting these properly can also increase performance on your device. It will not create any instabilities.
- I/O schedulers are all very similar. I personally prefer SIO, CFQ, or VR
- Under Memory management, Allow purging of assets and enable Kernel same page merging. Both use more clock cycles, but free needed RAM.
- Avoid ZRAM. Performance gain is not enough for the number of clock cycles needed to compress and decompress the RAM.
- Enable 16 bit transparency. Lighter load on the system when drawing graphics, and has never causes visual artifacts for me.
- Disable surface dithering. One less thing for your device to do, equals more performance.

Click to collapse
5. Animation Scales (not necessary)
- This simply makes your device LOOK faster buy increasing the speed of the animations.
- Go to developer options and find Window Animations scale, Transition Animation Scale, and Animator Duration Scale.
- Turn them all to 0.5 for a faster UI.

It does reduce life for sure. As does live OC.
I over clocked my phone for a long time, and it has had no bad effects. It works great to this day. It reduces, but not significantly that you should worry about.
Most CPUS are designed to last for 10+ years, and you may take a year or two off. Nothing major!
