Problems Overclocking - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded Dalingrin's 5/23 Kernel for stock/froyo, put it on my SD and installed the zip, but I can't clock it past 800Mhz...did I do something wrong??

It doesn't give you the option or it freezes/crashes, etc when you clock higher than 800Mhz?

it doesn't give me the option. I open setcpu and I can't put the slider any higher than 800

Have setcpu automatically detect the speeds again to see the new speeds.

tried that, still only shows 800Mhz. I even re-downloaded the kernel zip and re-installed it...nothing.

problem solved, used wrong kernel.

SetCPU on Incredible?

Ok, i have a fully rooted incredible with SetCPU installed. I have profiles enabled and setup but when i change the main profile the current clockspeed is always higher. Also, the min/max at the top right never change from 998mhz max and 250 min. Do i need a special kernel or something to use setcpu? i have it under the nexus one/snapdragon profile btw. and its 1.5.4

Looks like only simple switches like "performance, userspace, etc" and for some reason advanced settings will make a difference. I believe persistent/kernel-level switches not provided for in the UI cannot work at present because we can't write to the build.prop, user.conf, or init.rc.
P.S., the DI's processor is upgraded from N1's. Same product line, newer model.
So im out of luck until a new kernel is out? Ok. But if i get a new kernel, will i be able to keep the default os or does that require a new rom?
Give 1.6 a try. Maybe it works for you.

Nope, even in 1.6 direct throttling still does/can not work, but seems like selecting userdata, performance, or ondemand has an effect on where the processor speed averages
You will need a overclocked kernal for SetCPU to work.
You DO NOT need an overclock kernel for it to work. The problem is the /system partition is not writable from within Android which is how SetCPU works. Once we get the nand unlock, it'll work.
from my understanding is you will need an unlocked kernel and RW NAND

Now THAT makes sense. I'm not sure I want a Nand unlock; but I'd like an easier way to push stuff in recovery so I can make intentional tweaks and protect the OS the rest of the time.

[Q] Overclocking and Agnostic CM7 OS

I'm wondering if I'm able to install an Overclock Kernel with this.
I'm using the Size-Agnostic SD Card image that loads CM7's latest build from the SD Card.
So I don't even know if the kernel would work for that, if so, how do I get it back to where I can select the kernal by booting with the SD Card? Obviously if I put another boot SD Card in it wouldn't work because the OS is missing.
Any help would be great, I'm just a little confused on all of this.
Thanks!

I've running dal's 4/24 OC kernel and it's great! You do have to update the kernel via adb (as opposed to just flashing a zip); see DizzyDen's excellent instruction in post #2231 of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451&page=224
Good luck!
Hmmm......okay. I didn't do anything with ADB, according to this thread (They way I did the Install):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I only had to replace the uImage file. And I did that on my PC before putting the card back in my nook. Changed the top speed to 925 rather than 800, and the min is set to 300. Thanks for letting me know about ADB!! I've got to get my PC setup to do that, I always get an error when trying to run it.

I feel your pain. Initially I tried to manually replace the uImage only and then I got into trouble with quadrant -- see the top of post #2231 in the link I gave you. DizzyDen points out that addition files need to be updated (see post #2258 of the same thread), which is where ADB comes in (the quadrant went away after I updated the kernel via ADB).
Soo.....what's quadrant? I'm guessing a benchmark utility?
Also did you see increased battery life with the Overclocking?
I really only read on my Nook Color, so I'm hoping that it keeps it right around the 300Mhz and will increase the life.
You can run the 4/4 stable overclock kernel by just replacing the Uimage, it works fine as that is what I did. That procedure does not work with the test kernels though, and you apparently have to use the adb push method above.
Are the nightlys considered test kernels?
My problem with ADB right now is that I've got Java SDK installed, but when installing the ADB kit it says that I DON'T have it installed....huh??
joehempel said:

No. CM7 nightly builds come with their own kernels. The OC kernels are what you put on to replace them. That is why, every time you update a new nightly, you need to reinstall the OC kernel.
The latest stable OC kernel is dated 4/4, the latest OC test kernel is dated 4/24.
For OC kernels up to 4/4, you can simply replace the uImage and you will have an OC kernel. For the test OC kernels, you will also need to adb push the system files that come with it or you will not be able to boot.

Quadrant is a benchmarking app, yes.
Battery life would depend on how you set the CPU parameters. There should not be any difference between non-OC or OC kernels if you set max cpu cap at 800/950Mhz. But why limit it when you run an OC kernel?
Even if you set max cpu at 1.1/1.3Ghz with the OC kernel, you can set the governor at Conservative and on light usage it will not ramp up a lot.
Okay, thanks.
I'll just keep the one I have, it doesn't seem like I need to have it done via ADB, I don't plan on using my Nook Color as a tablet, I would rather have it clocked down to save battery.

[Q] Some problems in XGin4.0 2.3.4

Hi guys! I have to post in this general section just because I have not reached 10posts yet in "android development".
So I upgraded shpit's ROM from XGin3.0 to XGin4.0 just one hour ago, and i discovered two (maybe stupid) problems: i can't install Facebook and Applanet!
But system seems to work fine just for now.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you man! I solved!
Hi, ive just installed Xging 4.0 and its great Rom but i have some problems, i hope you can help me to solve them:
- I cant get the Overclock: i put the X8oc.ko module into system/lib/modules and edit the permissions but nothing happens, after reboot i cant modify the Max or Min Cpu fercuency...
- I cant see the Mddi lag fix in system/lib/modules, thats not usefull in this rom??
ive been looking for this module because i have some lags in games.
thanks and sorry for my bad english.

first try this
reboot to xrecovery and flash xgin4
factory reset ( full wipe )
exit and with root explorer just and only copy X8oc.ko in system/modules
don't edit hw_config it's already configured
go to settings and and choose cyanogenmod settings
then go to performance and select cpu settings
there should be max and minimum set maximum speed on whatever works just don't try to get it too much high the higher freq won't always make the system better sometimes it won't even reboot and works fine but the speed isn't better than lower freq
u can use quadrant to find it out and check your cpu score when you increase freq your score should be higher if you noticed that it's not increased or it just got lower on score ! revert it back to lower freq and see if your phone works without reboots and hangs
and second
mddi module is preinstalled it is present on modules and yes it is not configured in hw_config but i believe it is loaded and the run command must be somewhere in firmware and maybe in lib files

About GPU Throttling

Hello everyone,
My question is about Throttling. We know in stock Nexus 4 kernel, throttling starts when battery temperature hits 37C. CPU throttling is fine, but problem comes when it starts throttling GPU. Is there a way we can stop it from throttling GPU? Can we edit the stock thermald.conf file? Is it safe to edit it and remove GPU option from it and make it throttle when the battery temperature reaches 40C?

Thank bro
Lol, I thought I might hard brick my phone. Do you know anyone else tried it?
I know we can get rid of this gpu throttling (which happens so early) by using some custom kernel, but i've tried many custom kernels, but they don't seem to have same smoothness as stock kernel.

it has its cpu throttle temp raised. but there is a simple script you can run in a terminal emulator app or go to tbe location with a root file explorer and exit manually. in a terminal emulator app..
su(press enter)
echo N > /sys/module/msm_thermal/parameters/enabled(press enter)
i always run with thermal throttle disabled. tbe cpu safty temp is still intact, if you hit it, youll automatically shut down to cool off. the only way that you will hit it is if you try to hit it.
about editing the thermald.conf file.. is it safe modding your phone in the first place?
i believe that faux's kernel uses a modded thermald file (cpu throttle temp raised, gpu throttle disabled). i used to keep a copy of the file on my dropbox and i would post it here for you but I deleted it some time ago. why dont you ask someone in his thread to share it with you so you can just replace yours.
but keep a backup of your original just in case

one at the top (i'm not allowed to post links here of the OP) the link of homepage
Second says, stock/aosp + CM

Thanks for the reply. I've faux123 thermald.conf file. But I dont' know whether I should replace stock thermald.conf with faux thermald.conf. Because faux has used Sampling 1500 (while in stock the sampling value is 5000). I don't know about sampling though , just the values were different so i didn't replace the file, thought it might hard brick the phone

go to http://www.derkernel.com/mako.php , click on "experimental" and download the first one (TF133).
if your rom doesnt use a modded ramdisk, just reboot into recovery, flash it, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot

is there any difference in throttling based on battery temp and CPU temp? which one exactly are modifying using the echo command?
CPU temp threshold can be raised easily in faux app, so what about battery temp threshold? can we change it?

How to increase ZRAM size?

Now I uses RR with 512M Zram,but it isn't enough for me.I want to increase it.Could you tell me how to do with it?
I used EX kernel to change it's size to 1024M temporarily because it back to 512 once I reboot my phone.I had also tried many methods according to the Google but they are not useful.
Sorry for my poor English.
Try Kernel Adiutor. Don't forget to turn on "Set on boot" toggle on the page, where you can set Z-RAM size.
