Apologies if the answer to this is already here (for newbies), but I've searched and searched and can't find an answer that makes sense to an amateur like me.
I have an X8, with Gingerdx v010 installed on it. I'd like to overclock it from 600 to around 690 (seems to be a nice stable o/c according to other threads).
My question is, how the hell do i o/c it? I've installed SetCpu but it won't let me go higher than 600. Does gingerdx not already come with an overclock module?
If anyone can help with a step by step instruction i'd be thankful. I don't know what 'push' something to somewhere means by the way - I'm a total newbie. I can root my phone, install a rom, and rescue my phone using SEUS. Everything else is new to me!
Thanks again
Impster.
download root explorer and oc module. copy oc module to your sd card. with root explorer, copy x8oc.ko from your sd card to /system/lib/modules. reboot your phone. set frequency with setcpu. you're done.
Many thanks for that. Didn't realise it was that easy/straightforward.
I'll give it a go tonight.
Thanks again. Much appreciated.
Impster the newbie.
oh i forgot - delete x8uv.ko from /system/lib/modules before rebooting your phone, if you will leave it there it might cause instability
Thanks for that. Just done it and rebooting now...
I'll check Setcpu once it's booted up to see what options i have.
right - rebooted. SetCPU shows that the phone's running at 710Mhz, although the sliders on SetCpu only go up to 600Mhz.
Surely this is not right? The sliders should show up to 710+ ???
Quadrant test also shows no real change at 930ish.
Thanks again in anticipation of your reply.

it should go past 710 (max to 826, but i'm not sure)
try to unninstal setcpu and install it again and reboot your phone, maybe it will help
Tried that. SetCPU slider still only goes up to 600.
But - installed CPUMaster and the slider on that goes up to 710.
Get v004 of the OC module and put it in system/lib/modules like fifo said. Go to hw_config and make sure this line is there
insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko # x8 overclocking
reboot and check SetCPU. Sliders should go up to 826 (I think)
Thanks for that. Sliders now go up to 825 as stated.
Thanks for all who helped.
I now have a rooted, Gingerdx, overclocked rom.
By the way, do I need to remove the x8uv module - some say they are running with both oc and uv modules?
Will the 2 together be in conflict at all?
Thanks
Im not sure. I dont overclock anymore cos games run perfectly smoothly and I have no lags scrolling/opening apps/switching between apps etc.
When I used to overclock, I had both uv and oc modules in lib/modules. Didnt have instability of any sort. Dont OC too high. 691-710 is good.
If you want to experiment, just rename your UV module (put .bak at the end or something) and see if there is a difference in performance

remove it, oc module already contains uv
I set the CPU to 748 mhz and i dont see a real difference, why?
Been playing about with settings - mine seems to run good at 710. Tried one step up and was ok, but occasionally rebooted itself.
Will stick with 710mhz for now as i've had one run on quadrant that got past the magic 1000!

There isnt that big a difference. If your rom is already smooth you dont need to OC. I find my phone faster without it. Also keep in mind that overclocking has negative effects over time. Try deleting the OC module (or renaming), reboot and see if you feel your phone is smoother. OC module has undervolt for voltages below 614.

you have to use auto-detect for setcpu to detect your availble clock speeds
on-demand is BROKEN
performance will drain your battery abnormally
running at 100 min / whatever max on conservative is the most stable option for this device at the current time
Leave the advanced settings alone also?

not to contradict, but you dont have to use it, you can use the setCPU.txt file and i recommend it
here is the one i use currently with the D02 1250LV kernel, it is nothing more than a simple text file which tells the setCPU app what are valid steppings/scaling so it cannot auto-detect incorrectly as it often does
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12311939/setcpu.txt
all you have to do is edit it to the steps that match the kernel you load and drop it in the root of the sd card, then go into setCPU, hit softmenu to go to device selection, scroll down and choose custom or manual...i forget what its called...then scroll down to the bottom and tell it to use the setcpu.txt file option and restart....done, no more problems at boot with setCPU
I only use performance when benchmarking. I use on-demand day to day. Set to 1250 max 100 min. I actually read the entire setCPU dev page, I suggest you do also, keeping in mind the limitations of the kernel you choose to load. I do not use on-demand scaling. I do not use profiles either. I do however, after testing my own device, use "set at boot". Two things on that. 1. setCPU now has a safe mode feature to get out of a problem and 2. I also use the setcpu.txt option instead of auto-detect which is hit or miss. Using the setcpu.txt file method (be sure to go to device selection and choose the bottom custom option) setCPU cannot accidentally set itself to the wrong frequency, it gets it's allowed steppings from the file you create.
if you read the setCPU dev page you (not directed at you jt ) will learn all of this and also about the advanced settings....but they work fine as they are for my device/kernel/usage

Id say probably either fc or nothing. Either it would try to hit something it cant and fc or it would discard the step, but then the large jump sau from 200 to 600 skipping 400 may cause an issue

Well, if I can keep mine running stable for a couple of days, with no "permasleeps" then I will give start on boot a try. So far I'm having excellent luck with 1100 max 100 min with conservative. Set to auto, it brought the right figures up immediately. So far the thing is really running great with the 1100 LV kernal and the settings I mentioned above. I'm sure my quadrant will be lower than 1200, but for some reason the 1200 kernal was only stable when I was placing load on the device, actually using it. When it was idle the screen would "permasleep". Very odd. Stress testing on the 1200 LV kernal threw no errors, but I still had idle issues.

Download the 1200 w/ boot animation. This happened to me last night when updating my wife's fascinate. I first downloaded the one without boot animation, which was fine, but only would clock to 1000 and was getting the battery not connected error. So I flashed the 1200 w/boot animation and fixed everything.

You changed speeds so you need to redetect your speed. Either do that or uninstall the app and reinstall it.

hello everyone
i have a quick question
is it true i shouldn't use setvsel with CM7?because i just read that in the FAQ thread for CM7 here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
and i need setvsel because i use it to undervolting and also i don't to overclock my cpu to 1Ghz since 800mhz can handle all the games i play and im getting 1900-2100 score in quadrant on stock cpu speed
and if i can't use it or shouldn't what program should i use ??since cpu settings in cm settings doesn't include undervolting
(although i've been use it on CM7 rom for 3 days now and i didn't have any trouble)
thanx in advance
appreciate your help guys
Hi there,
CM7 RC0 has the CPU clock speeds & Vsel in the bootmenu where you can overclock, undervolt, change the governor etc.
If you reboot your phone & go into the bootmenu when the blue led comes on then you can access the overclock menu.
There's more info in Quarx's thread in the dev forum

From what I've read in the relevant threads about CM7 many people are saying not use it.
I used it in froyo but since flashing CM7 RC0 I only use the bootmenu for CPU settings.

I used the same settings that peetr_ used in the post I've linked to above. It uses the smartass governor.
It appears that there's different settings depending upon which governor is selected:
eg; for the smartass governor then in the overclock settings list the settings that start with _smt are relevant,
interactive governor _int,
ondemand governor _ond, etc.
Think that's how it works

I left the bootmenu cpu frequencies as to what they were but undervolted them slightly.
300/22, 600/34, 1000/54 - I tried many settings using setvsel when running froyo so I know these work fine for me.
As for the other settings I just used those that peetr_ posted for the smartass governor & it seems to run nicely. Haven't had any issues yet

btw...when i used the values in the post you gave me the phone was running without any issues but if you open setvsel and looked at the cpu it keeps changing from 300 to 1000 even if you are not doing anything but if you used the ondemand scale governor you will notice that if you are not doing anything the value stays 300mhz so im not sure that smartass is a good governor after all...or maybe its just me
anyways i think i will keep the settings like this:

also change the other values in menu like this(i think you must change them according to the values you gave your cpu in the 3 vsels):

My cpu sometimes jumped from 300-1000 when I used setvsel on froyo.
Temperature wise it seems to be running similar if not slightly cooler than when on froyo. Now the hottest I have seen battery temp is 35C but it is mostly much cooler than that.

i don't know...really..i can't seem to relate what are the values for with the available governors
my only problem with smartass governor that even if im not using the cpu the values keep changing between 300mhz-1000ghz but when im using on demand if im not doing anything with the phone the cpu stays at 300mhz but when i start using the phone(moving the screen up and down for example)the values changes to 1000ghz and when i stop the values goes back to 300mhz that's why im using on demand...but again it might be just my cpu
looks like it requires to dig more in the differences between each governor
anyway i read in the latest post in CM7 DEV thread that some people is actually using setvsel so i opened my boot menu,and went to overclock,selected set default,reboted,and installed setvsel and applied these values:
20/300
33/600
47/800
up_therhold:75
oh and btw...how's your battery life ?
Dudes, so please, quick answer:

Yes I've got CM7 RC0 & using the bootmenu overclock.
There's many values in the menu as it depends upon which governor you have set it to so only those values relevant to that governor will be used.
For instance on Smartass governor - the values starting with _smt will apply
Can someone help me with the proper way to overclock the miui rom? I have dalingrins latest kernal, SETCPU, and nook tweaks all installed.
I have my steps set in nook tweaks and it set to set on boot. Also have setcpu set to ondemand gov. Should setcpu be also set on boot?
What I want is 375 min, 1100 max, and ondemand governor. What's the proper way to achieve this? Is setCPU even necessary?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
This depends on MIUI's build.
If it's depending on the latest builds with dalgirins kernal and it recogonizes the 1100 and 1200 steps in it's settings, then you can set ondemand and 1100 and set on boot.
If it's not based on the integrated kernal, which you can tell the settings will only go to 925, then you need to install dalgrins kernal and use setcpu, allow root. Set it on boot. Max the setting at 1100, and set the governor on demand. profile it as you like.
WIth Dalgrin's mod... download 1.4.3 nook tweaks.. that is all you need period.
you can test what the highest voltage you can get to without UV. So try 1300 in Nook tweaks and leave the voltage alone. (DO NOT SET ON BOOT) until you have run through nenamarks back to back multiple times and quadrants back to back multiple times without random reboots or freezes.
In CM Mod Settings, Change the governer to conservative, that is your best bet to oc as it is built for solid state memory, such as memory cards (which is all cell phones.)
That is all you need... the rest is just trial and error because all chips are different period.
Then when everything is kewl, then start undervolting.... from the bottom clock speeds and up

In CM Mod Settings, Change the governer to conservative, that is your best bet to oc as it is built for solid state memory, such as memory cards (which is all cell phones.)
That is all you need... the rest is just trial and error because all chips are different period.
Then when everything is kewl, then start undervolting.... from the bottom clock speeds and up

is setcpu > then nook color tweaks?
In my experience on phones, setcpu does drain battery a little more than other apps.....

SetCPU is to set the actual OC and governor of the processor. Nook Tweaks simply changes the steppings that setCPU sees and allows for UV/OV.
Heya,
Which app should i use for overclocking acer a500.
-> CPU Tuner
-> An tu tu CPU Master
-> CPU Boots Lite
-> Buy me a Beer
Sorry Guys im new to this stuff, Plz help me out....
Cheers!

Either AnTuTu (I use on my tab) or SetCpu (I use on my phone) are fine for me. If you want to run profiles, you will need to get the paid version. (set your cpu speed based on battery remaining).
way to test out paid apps, buy if you like it
Google this "SetCPU for Root Users 2.2.4.apk"
Download 1st post from google.
in the future... if you see a update in "Market - My Apps" get new version # from {description} and google it.
After testing a Paid App, if you like it, buy it.
Right, Now Im using SetCPU (paid app), but nothing happening I put Max and Min both to 1000 MHZ but nothing happening it not overclocking.
Is there some kind of setting i need to do under Advanced tab?
OCing
In order to overclock, you will need a custom kernal. Typically factory roms that are not mass produced on multiple devices from the same company will have a kernal that will only allow the cpu to sit in specific frequencies. Without a custom kernal setcpu, or another oc app will only let you change the cpu settings between the factory kernal clock speeds. hope this helped.

Thanks where i can get good kernal Rom. Right now im using
{ROM 3.2.1}{The Collective}Epiphany - 1.11.12
you should Read His Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439351 (only 8 pages till end)
pay attention to Changing Kernel Q+A
If you still don't know ask there (about OC up to 1.5, 1.6 ability)
for HC v3.2+, I like "2.6.36.4-thor-V3.9r3" Kernel
^^But that doesn't mean it will work.^^
Remember, if you use a different kernel, it will most likely affect some apps and functions.
If you re-post and say, something doesn't work, They'll probably say something like "I don't know about that, i don't use that kernel"
If you're comfortable (and have read enough), Experiment a little, knowing you can always go back to Backup ROM.
All ROMS (99%+) will flash thier proper Kernels from Re-do
Just saying, OC up to 1.5 is good, but I'm not sure about 1.6 or 1.7
Anyone tried that yet?
Hello.
I've got a stock Android 3.2.1 (A501 4.066.29 COM GEN1) rooted with Stock/HV/Taboonay V3.7 for HC 3.2 16-10 - 1.64Ghz/UV control kernel.
The question is:
how to set cpufreq parameters (governor, max_freq,..) WITHOUT using 3rd party apps so that the parameters were restored after reboot.
Thank you for reading this.
Either the kernel needs to support init.d scripts or a service needs to execute on boot.
That kernel doesn't support init.d and Voltage Control has a startup service.

Forgive my ignorance but I can't put to use your answer.
I don't get where is Voltage Control and what I have to do.
Get Voltage Control from the market, make adjustments, save as boot. You'll be given the option to save as init.d script or startup service.
Well.. I tested it. Odd app.
First of all it can see only one core. It's funny. After reboot cpu0 works in conservative mode, max_freq 1.4 GHz and cpu1 in ondemand mode, 1.0 GHz.
I tried to edit init.d script and add the 2nd core but after reboot cpu worked with the default kernel values - script didn't work at all.
Moreover Voltage Control shows voltages turned upside down - the less cpu frequency the bigger voltage values. I fear to use this app
Download setcpu or antutu cpu master it recognizes dualcore , has the boot option
More education would be advised To you PLEASE DONT BREAK YOUR TABLET
Please do not take this the wrong way..
it does sound like you do not know what your doing.. I suggest you read more about over clocking./under voltage of a TEGRA 2 DEVICE.. That will get you more understanding about what you need to do. And maybe even help you decide if you really want to do this or not.. There is alot of resources online about this subject. I have tried custom kernel with set cpu.. I use it on my 650 mhz phone. clock it to 768. but it has a huge battry issue when running at that speed.Not to mention It would be dangerous to leave it on my purse with something running might be a fire bug.. GOOD LUCK .
Basically lower voltage at higher frequencies keeps the CPU stable. Leaving it linear would increase temperature exponentially.
Script Manager can run scripts on startup but I don't know how you could disable them if they keep it from starting up.
I didn't know about VC and dual core though. My bad.

Thank you.
I tried all cpu related apps from the Market that I was able to try. Now I want to try to get along without them.

Thank you Erica
I don't understand? You want something that does the same thing but you don't want to know it's there?
I found one app called System Tuner that lets you adjust CPU frequencies individually. I don't know why though.

Actually I don't like how these apps work. And I thought that setting up a few parameters would't be difficult. It seems I was wrong.
Yep. Code has to execute to do stuff, otherwise that stuff doesn't get done.
System Tuner Pro allows voltage adjustments on overclock settings. If you're interested. Also, has a lot of packages integrated into one (task manager, app freezer, etc). They have a free version in the Market if you're interested. It's nice to have several apps, in one nice package.

Thank you but I actually don't need it anymore
I have rolled back to the stock kernel because of constant "sleep of death" issue.

It's because the 3.7 kernel you used, is really not compatible with the a501. The ultra-low voltage causes "screen freeze" and the "sleep of death" when under 3g only. It's a known issue with the 501 and 3.6 and 3.7 kernels also. I would reccommend RTrips 3.4+. Probably his best for for a501.
I ship it with my own Alexandra II and III rom. No issues with it, and none ever reported.
Had I noticed when I woke this morning, you had an a501, I could have given this advice. Sorry, didn't have enough coffee

The problem, is that a lot of dev's, don't have a501's, only a500's. So they really can't test a lot on it. And sometimes, the issue doesn't happen for 2 or 3 days. Sometimes less. I'm going to experiment a little this weekend, with some of the newer kernels, and mess with the voltage's and see if I can get it stabilized where it doesn't freeze on 3g only.
Moscow Desire ,
Thanks for clearing it up and the advise. I'll try either 3.4 kernel or your ROM.

If you go to RichardTrips kernel thread, you will see a link to his older kernels.
You will find the 3.4 listed on his server. I think you just need to flash it, although I usually dump Dalvak cache.
Alex II is an easy install. Alex III (3.2.1) is a little more ... interesting to install, but not difficult. If you run into an issue, post it in my thread. Everybody else has got it installed, so I think you'll have no issues either.
It's the only "certified" 3.2.1 for the Acer a501 that I know if. Not that the other roms are bad, because they really are good, but, the 3.2.1 they advertise, are from system dumps after running an update, or adding missing files to a 500 rom. The TMPL is an Acer release.
