Cpu speeds after root

Wanted to start a thread so we can start tracking successful overclocks and underclocks.

tried setcpu, gave it su permissions, but dont have a setcpu.txt file for applicable speeds. tried to put droid speeds on it, but it somereason refuses to set?

did you autodetect?

after autodetect it gives a max of 600mhz ...
isn't that stock?

Pull it from Wes's github. He has it up to 998 from the looks of it

I thought there was a big hullaballoo over the G1 and overclocking and it was discovered that unless there's a kernel-level modification, the overclock widget doesn't actually overclock beyond the max the kernel says it can go(like, it will SAY it's OC'd but will still be running at stock)? Maybe the same kind of hack can be used from the G1 since it's still an ARM11 processor? Sorry about my non-specific rambling, I only have a very rudimentary understanding of this >.>
Perhaps a couple threads on the matter will help. These are threads about the actual kernel modification/hack that allows the OC'ing on the G1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666850
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679033
FWIW, there's no OC'ing on the Legend yet, and it uses the same processor as our beloved MTS. I'd love to be able to get more out of this device though, hope we see it soon
EDIT: It's also worth mentioning that in the beginning of the G1's life when people were "overclocking" it to 528mhz, it wasn't actually overclocking. It was only that the processor was UNDERclocked by the stock software to 300-something mhz and we were overriding it back up to the intended max speed of the processor, 528mhz. Only recently have people truly started OC'ing it beyond that with these kernel hacks. On the MTS, I appears that it STARTS at 600mhz, which is already the max intended speed of the processor. So if we want more we'll need these kernel hacks. I'm hoping we'll be able to get at least 800mhz and still be stable <3

it took the g1 a good deal of time to have one too right?

If some good developers come soon it should be possible to overclock the kernal maybe try porting from the hero that has many overclocked kernals thanks to behnaam

Hope you dont mind Wes
This is what i was speaking of. It looks like he is already working on it. i'm not a dev but i can tell that this rom in the making is going to come with some yummies.

thanks for the heads up man, I'm no dev either but that sounds awesome. I'm hoping to overclock this bad boy and get him just flying (not that he isn't already). I was searching for the power profile already on the Slide to see if it's possible to just rewrite the current file, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm lookin for. Guess I'll just wait for a ROM update

The real trick will be to do what we did to the nexus . overclock undervolt

[REQ] NON-undervolted Android builds, please!

Hi guys... DEVS
Why aren't any NON-undervolted Android builds being released?
Many people have HD2's where the CPU cannot be undervolted/overclocked and if they try any of the current Android builds their HD2 will reboot or be very unstable!! I think that could be why we have so many "reboot threads" floating around.
Best way to make sure users don't have problems with your builds is to provide the non-undervolted version by default and let people change the zImage to an overclocked/undervolted version if they wanna push their luck. Stability should be the number one priority and in my mind and overclocking/undervolting certainly doesn't add stability... instead you'll have a bunch of people wondering Android doesn't work on their HD2's.
I think that for many nOObs it's difficult to first download a build just to discover that it doesn't work, then trying to figure out that it's because they're running the wrong kernel, then trying to figure out how to change the kernel, pushing files etc etc... you get my point I hope Also supporting extended batteries should be included by defaults nowadays since that's another source of confusion as to why their Android builds won't work.
Just my 2 cents... /Tubgirl

Why? And how can one find out that his/her HD2 cpu cannot be undervolted?

Hastarin started releasing this type of kernel, without overclocking, undervolting or axi included, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787588
Since it's the only custom kernel I'm using I can't point you to others but I also know that the 'official' kernels from Netrippers' autobuild site, http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild_evo_tree/ are also without any modifications but they don't include extended battery support or interactive governor for example.

The answer to "Why?" is that you have small variations between each CPU from manufacturing. They are very small variations but they are enough to cause some CPU's to become unstable if you go outside the manufacturer's specs when it comes to voltage or clock frequency.
If you have problems with reboots then "how to find out" is a matter of trying a non-undervolted kernel and see if Android becomes more stable. But as I said... I wish developers could release rock-stable Android builds that can work on everybody's HD2's... not just the lucky ones with overclockable/undervoltable CPU's.

Ah, will it not affect battery life? I just remember i didn't seem to experience sudden lags or reboot with the first batch of android builds (there hasn't been custom kernels that time i think) i used xtarantula's before.

Yes, maybe but that's still better than not being able to run Android at all.
/Tubgirl

The short answer to this question is demand. More people want undervolted than not. You can change kernels if it fails for you. It's all supply and demand I'm afraid. As the old saying goes "you can't please everyone"
You are right though it would be nice if they included a standard kernel build as well but the devs put in a massive amount of work as it is and its easier for you to change the kernel that's all.

No need for "builds" to be duplicated like that...all that is required is untouched kernel...
I run the Stock Evo one for HD2 from here and NO SOD/reboots/data hangs and equal battery life even without setcpu and taskkillers.
Try it...(Not suitable for CM6 builds)

No. The only "support" atm for extended batteries is in modified kernels such as my kernel (huanyu added support based on mine in one of his too) and michyprima's.
Since both are essentially "hacks" (at least mine is not 100% accurate for temperature) I'm afraid neither is likely to make it in to the main tree.

This might be a dumb question, but how do we know which zImage to use from that list? Do I just grab the last one that says latest? I'm running the MDeejay Evo build. The SOD and data hangs have made these new builds unusable for me.

Finally a NON-undervolted Android build that works out of the box. As a big bonus extended batteries are supported as well... and it's fast as hell

It's a very simple process to replace the kernel with another one of your choice.

Exactly!! So if you want to tweak and try undervolting/overclocking you can replace the kernel if you want to... IMHO the included kernel should be as stable as it possibly can

Yes and the point is that it is as stable as it can be for the vast majority of us. The minority (you) who have reboot issues etc have the choice to use different kernel then what the majority uses.
Why on earth should the majority have to conform to the minority?

It's not a matter of having to "conform". It's better to have a build that works for everybody than just the majority (again IMHO). It's nice for the Chef not having to deal with a bunch of posts like "My phone reboots with this build" or "Why does my HD2 freeze?"
To cite myself from my first post in this thread:

i am truely sorry for you having problems.. but this thread looks to me like another "i want i want, do it for me" thread. I dont want to be rude, but do you really think that would stop people asking "weird" questions? Even if there would exist a perfect uber build or something, people wouldnt stop asking "weird" stuff.. human nature i guess
i have a different view on things here. i like the "harder" (search, read and try) way, that makes me learn something. So, the way cheffs create and release builds cant be that bad
learning english is also a good thing for me, i guess

Overclock kernals

Hey I saw in development that we finally have w custom kernal but it didn't say anything about being able to be ocd so I was wondering if there was another kernal floating around that would allow overclocking.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App

I don't think we will be getting overclocking kernels until we have the source, or until an experienced kernel builder can combine our 2.1 source with the fascinate's 2.2 source....

Or cant you just download setcpu to overclock?
Sent via Carrier Pigeon

Setcpu doesn't overclock unless the kernel allows it to which neither of these (DL17 or EC03) allow... i believe it does however allow you to change the cpu scaling but I think that's broken in galaxy s devices xP
But seriously.... we have arguably one of the finest processers on the market that is fast as hell so I'm kinda with Imnuts on this one...
I don't see the point of trying to overclock this thing

ive gotten set cpu to work, but it goes up to the normal 1ghz the good thing is you can undervolt and set governors if you want to save your battery.

You're freaking awesome. All your work for this phone has made it usable for those who bought it expecting to have support for a year or more after it's release.

[kernel] gingerbread sense WANTED will donate to make happen.

Recently htc released the source code to make it possible for gingerbread sense kernels. I am trying to push the development community by offering a small donation to push it to happen. I would also like to extend this help with other xda members that would help donate to make it happen. So if you want this to happen post here stating you'll donate to the developer that makes it happen first.

I know. I wish they would open up applications again. I think I help out and contribute enough, but you never know with XDA. Lol. Even more that you and Nils were denied recognized developer status which is such a shame. I would be happy to help moderate in any forum, but the DInc and Eris forums are my home. Maybe they'll open up applications again soon.

I'm working on a port of the evo gingersense kernel to inc. with some pointers from chad I got it compiled but haven't gotten it to boot yet. IF I get it booted I will post it for testing.

I ran Synergy for a while.... loved the ROM... but yeah, I'm one of the few who actually uses the multitouch (play a ton of Genesis and GBA on my phone). GPU + made a huge difference for 3d graphics framerates, smartass was a noticeable increase in battery life. On my custom Froyo ROM with incredikernel, the phone is rock solid stable, fast, smooth, everything works, and I can go WEEKS without a freeze, lock up, reboot, battery pull, etc.....
I don't feel like I'm missing out THAT badly, but, yeah once a custom kernel that does all that comes out, Synergy ROM here I come.

Ideas for custom ROM

Hello!
HTC recently released the Lollipop to our model.
I'm going to make a custom rom.
Assumptions:
- Base on CyanogenMod 12.1
- Root
- Stock kernel
- Remove some HTC apps
- Optimize
- New theme, better UI
- [email protected] recording (I dream but try do it)
- CPU and GPU Overclock
- Better memory management
- NFTS partitions support
- Tweaks
- Fast and stable
I realize that some of my assumptions cannot be made but the most we can do.
What do you think?
Write your suggestions what would do well to change.

Tap to unlock would be nice.

I think its nice if you working on a single sim

Great idea! I will gladly test it
As for overclocking: do we really need it in this phone? Sometimes it gets really hot with stock frequencies, so why? The performance gain would be negligible anyway... and the battery life will shorten.
