[Q] x8Overclock and x8Undervolt for FroyoBread

hello x8 users im new here
i just want to ask if i use x8Overclock and x8Undervolt will my battery drains fast ?
because i got a good benchmark points when i overclock my x8 to 748Mhz but the battery drains fast..
all veterans and modders here please answer my question... thanks in advance..

Overclock? theoretically, yes . Higher CPU clock = more power is needed. dunno if undervolt can reduce it, I never tried to overclock my device(froyo). I think its not working well in froyo ROMs(?)

Only overclock bro,higher cpu speed=more power=more gas needed,just like an race car

i see . . i thought it can reduce to normal battery drain when i use undervolt with overclock.. i guess ill just revert back to 600mhz... thanks guys !

You dont need to oc froyo, its not work very well with oc, iv been trying and revert to 600mhz

You can use smartass governor it will save battery,and you can use setcpu or cpuboost and set the speed when the screen is off with 320 max and 122min this will save you more battery.

i see... FroyoBread is fast enough for 600Mhz ... where can i configure the Smartass Governor sir dotsen ? i think i'll underclock my phone to 480mhz whenever i go out ... btw thanks again . . =)

Use setcpu ,cpubooster,master cpu .I use overclock on froyo pro,740 max and 480 min.

using cpu master now.. i adjust my min to 320mhz . . it feels really fast.. nice
does x8undervolt really saves battery life?

Whats the diff. if u set the min to 122mhz than 320mhz?
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

Well,if you set the min speed to 320 mhz ,it's a speed da doesn't go lower than that .so it's faster.

V14 kernel

I started this thread because i want to be able to use Sparksco kernel v14 but it freezes when its set to 1.0GHZ I been running v10 as my daily kernel and its bottomline on my top list of kernels. Any help will be much appreciated, im on the latest nightly CM255, i had to revert back to v10 because i need speed to check emails and surf the internet...If theres another update for the V14 in the future i hope that can be a fix or its probably my setup that prevents me from reaching any higher speeds, overall Sparksco you the man!!! By the way ICS devs yall get mad props peace...

I use sparks v14 kernel on cm nightly 255 clocked right under 1ghz using smartass governer no problem. I did a full wipe of everything, and formatted system before install of everything of course. Edit: I clocked it to 2ghz and no freezes here. Did you do a full wipe before the install of the ROM/kernel?

Hey sparksco, luv your kernels, can we get smartass2 included?

I'm going to have to give that a shot homie...

Kernel v14 is more geared for battery saving. I haven't updated the voltages yet because I'm not compiling gingerbread anymore, rather been working on getting a stable ICS rom build before I do more work on it. As soon as we get ICS gingerbread will be a thing of the past. Kernel v14 works good for some and v10 for others. I like v14 because of the battery I've been able to get on 122mhz min and 998mhz max. But if you up the min to the next highest setting (230mhz) you shouldn't get any lockups. Or even try 307mhz.
Edit: looks like 307mhz min is the only clock speed that allows me to overclock to 2ghz and not have any lockups. I'm also on cm nightly 255 pzguzman, and I always keep it on smartass governor.
P.S. The mods should be able to move this thread no problem without removing the comments or thread.

Yeah, forgot to mention as sparks said, at 2ghz the min is at 307mhz.

Oh okay i see Sparksco thanks for clarifying the setup, i dont mean to steer anybody in the wrong direction especially from working on a ICS BUILD which is the most highly anticipated OS for android. But im going to flash v14 and try out the setting and will get back and let you know thanx homie...

No luck but its amazing how you guys achieve the speeds... Tried the settings but my phone cant handle the pressure lol...Im gonna stick with this kernel tho... My bad for posting this thread in the wrong section its a rookie mistake...

It worked i only needed to do a full wipe, thanx homie...

By the way Sparksco i got your setup on my rom, fully functional overclocked at the max with no feezes, thanx homie...

YOU'RE USING THE WRONG GOVERNOR MIN/MAX SETTINGS
For example:
IF I want to get 2ghz out of my phone I use the performance governor and use min/max of 2ghz.
OR:
I would use:
Gov: Smartass
Min CPU: 300mhz
Max CPU: 1.5ghz
You would freeze too if you were a CPU constantly going from 100mhz to 2000mhz all the time!

Smartass2 was made for the HTC Sensation which is a dual core gsm phone much like the Evo 3D (but cdma instead). I could never get it to clock passed 1.4ghz so I don't think it likes our phones much. It's a great concept but the normal old smartass still works much better for the shift.

FWIW I am hitting 2.0Ghz with no lockups or anything. I previously had been using ScaryStable for a while and anything past 1.6Ghz would lock right up nearly immediately.

Again, it depends on the governor and the min cpu. I ran scary stable at 1.9ghz for 24 hours+ straight, no lockups.

for the heck of it I ran it @ the min of like 1something hz for the low and 2.0 max just to see how it ran, and it was solid.

I understand but say you ran scary at min 100mhz and max 1.9ghz with a gov of ondemand, that would freeze for sure on any phone.

I think what he's saying is that he ran this kernel (pershoot v14) with a low min and a high max and it ran fine.

I am able to run GTA III smoothly

I am able to run GTAIII on my X8 smoothly with little lag (lags a bit when driving a car)
I was using:
GTA III settings (found it in XDA, forgot where.. Search for it)
Overclocked to 748mhz (highest for me with some reboots)
Was running on:
MiniCM7 2.18
nAa kernel 10
I don't know if it will run smoothly for others thought... Give it a try. And I also did not try it on 600mhz.
Was also running:
V6 Supercharger U9 RC5
Kick Ass Kernelizer (RC3?)
And on GTAIII settings set everything to lowest.
It's hard to type on phone...
Edit: I forgot... i was using 512mb swap (partition) i know its too much.. but hey!
And to nobodyAtall.. thanks for your awesome rom and kernel! Keep up the good work...

what gta version are you using?
I have already downloaded that launcher, but I'm useing v1.0 and it says that cannot find settup file, but gta working smoothly for me with 600mhz and without chainfire3d. maybe because of rom working so good

ty really cool

You're using GTA III with sound or without sound ?
Sorry for my bad english

hmmm. I'm using swap 256, OC 768, RAM Manager "hard gaming", Chainfire3d powervr plugin, GTA Settings (everything low), playing version 1.0 without sounds and it's still laggy on MiniCM 2.1.9 and NaA11 kernel

overclock

I have oc my play but even at 1.9 my games like GTA still lag ,I'm using v6 debloated 2.3.4 Rom with doomkernel v14 ? any suggestions thanks in advance

1.9Ghz? Hope you're kidding. Overclocking with too high Mhz can destroy your device (or it will drain battery).
Max. recommended clock: 1500Mhz (1,5Ghz)
Min. recommended clock: 1200Mhz (1,2Ghz)

I ran it at 1.9 for about 2 hours playing GTA with no problems but still a little laggy

Yes It can be possible my last stabile value is 1.7 - 1.8 but i run my play with 1.6

For some people Ram manager helps, but it is a paid application. There might me other similar apps, though.

Lol. Then you can say goodbye to your play in 1-2 yrs. As i said, if you didnt want to **** up je device, use recommended clocks for gaming. Hope youll not be ignorant and read this post, lol.

mine is overclocked to 1.4 ghz, but i sometimes do 1.6 for gaming. i don't recommend 1.9ghz, but i'd laugh if your phone literally melts

I tried out your Set CPU setup and it was kind of bad, because of the lagfree governor,i did some research and i found a thread explaing all governors and lagfree doesn't actually make your phone "Lag free" it saves battery by throttling it down to the minimum clock speed for a simple task but when it needs more juice it will throttle higher providing more performance, but it doesn't work well as i have had regular force closes with apps like FlipBoard, Falcon Pro and messaging (which force closed alot)
Thanks anyways for contributing

I didnt use the lagfree governor is said its lagfree.
The governor i used was Darkside. From the new lupus stock GB/ICS kernel.

Awesome stuff man.
I decided to install Lupus Kernel (720p) and I failed so many times because ADB wasn't detecting my phone in fastboot and reason is because i use a mini usb hub (it connects into 1 hub and makes 5 hubs) so adb and fastboot dident have direct conntact with my phone and today i had a strange feeling and pluged it in to main usb port on my pc and it worked like a charm,i flashed lupus and i am enjoying it.
I think it is considerably faster that Doomkernel and smoother AND reliable,i used to get random force closes every now and then but now its super smooth and Touch screen response seems to be 100x better,
I also tried out your setup and shadowgun,Dead trigger(ULTRA GFX setting) and MC4 runs smooth at around 50 FPS

Glad I could help!

I don't think zRam helps with gaming that much,u might get 1-2 FPS boost
