[POLL] What's Your Overclocked Speed?

You might have already figured out that HD2 can be overclocked as high as 1.5 GHz on its powerful Qualcomm SnapDragon Processor. Many people run their devices on default clock speed, but there are few of us who overclock their devices to get max out of it. So i have started this thread to know what your max clock speed is and what governer are you using. Post replies below. Also, don't forget to mention your Phone's Temperature if available.
Mine: 1.2 GHz On SmartAss Governer , Temperature Usually Around 95F

1305MHz using interactive, temp alway @ 28°C even when phone get hot?? tho alway careful to let it cool down when it feels too hot.

I have underclocked ... to 720Mhz (interactive)
Performance is okay and saves battery live
Temperature is about 28 celcius.

1267, 768 when battery less than 30%, 422 when screen is off
On-demand w/screen on, conservative when <30% and screen off
Not great on battery, but good performance an no wake lag
CPU Load jump or whatever it is, set to 30%

Sticks with no overclock
using a rom which is fast enough and saves battery life, Dont see a point that needed to overclock CPU

Undervolted to 576mhz, for better battery life.
Runs smooth enough for all apps, including navigation and games

No overclock for me, don't need it, phone is fast enough as it is.
Clock speed: 998mhz (default), governor: ondemand, temp: n/a
Good enough for me sweet onough on may battery.
P.s. there seems to be no difference(performance wise) between rafpigna kernel oc'd @1.5ghz and tytung kernel oc'd @1.2ghz, when testing on linpack and/or other smarbench tools

Setcpu Governers ?

okay im sorry if this is one of the most noobish questions, but what exactly are governors , and how do they help ?
Sent from my Mytouch 4G Running Capychimps Sense 3.5 rom (v.4.0)

Cpu governors "govern" how the cpu works. There is a list somewhere that explains what a few of them do. Basically they dictate how your cpu behaves and therefore the performance you see and power consumption you experience. I'll see if I can find that list.
Edit:
- The ondemand governor is the default option used by Android. It scales the CPU speed between the minimum and maximum speeds depending on CPU load. If the system needs more speed, the kernel will rapidly scale up the CPU speed. - The conservative sets the CPU speed in a similar way to the ondemand governor, but scales the CPU up much less rapidly. This would theoretically save battery power, but may lead to less responsiveness. - The userspace governor is currently useless. It's another way for applications to set the CPU speed that SetCPU does not use. - The powersave governor always keeps the CPU at the minimum set frequency. - The performance governor always keeps the CPU at the maximum set frequency.
Except for "userspace," no matter which governor you set, the CPU will always stay within the bounds of the maximum and minimum speeds you set in SetCPU.
smartass governor -is based on the concept of the interactive governor. I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works -by taking over the idle loop -is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies. Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 352Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 352 -why?! -it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 528/176 kernel, it will sleep at 352/176. No need for sleep profiles any more!

[Q] What overclock speed you using?

How fast do you overclock?
Currently running at 1.5ghz/800mhz (Max/Min)
I have never had any issues.
Who goes faster, and any issues in doing so?

What governor are you using?
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App

I was going to mention that. I am using Smartass V2. I do not really understand governors. Care to explain?

Governor is how the system uses processor throttling/stepping. You should google linux + governor or android + governor for a little more detailed information on each governors..
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App

Can the governors be edited on the stock ROM? I seem to remember trading this was possible.

Of course, but you need a rooted phone, search in the market for no frills cpu or setcpu, there u can change the governos and i/o scheduler
---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------
Im using 480/1200 with SmartassV2 and BFQ as i/o scheduler on my u8800-51

I'm using 1.8 ghz max value. It's stable there. I ran a quadrant and scored 3500. Min 245 ondemand governor. Tried also 1.9 but failed in the middle of quadrant.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

my phone is rooted and I already have set CPU but when setting up SetCPU I use the recommended detection and I seem to be stuck on 806MHz as maximum freq.
I played with deleting setcpu data and trying one of the options but no selection there to suite my phone as far as I can tell.
would love to overclock just a little more as a way learn more than anything else...
Edit: OK just read setcpu help pages and that bit of it is a little clearer. I'm going to go looking for what this phone freq governors can handle. If anyone wants to help with what series of governors you are using that would be great

Just rooting your phone won't help. You need to have a kernel that supports the overclocks. If you use SetCPU with a rooted device only (without a different kernel) it will only see what the phone can handle, hence, 806Mhz.
If you went to something like Oxygen/CM7/MIUI, they come with kernels that already have the other CPU frequencies written in and then SetCPU will see them and you will be able to select them.

But with stock kernel and rooted phone u can change governors and i/o scheuler the only thing that u cant change is cpu freq

OS: Android 2.3 Gingerbread B522 (official version 28/12/2012)
Kernel: OC .35 Genoklar
Speed Max/Min: 1.2Ghz/368Mhz
Governor: Ondemand
I/O Scheduler: noop
Phone calls messages, wifi, and some games and lasts for 2 days normally.
Moderated use.
If I push it I melt the battery in less than 8 hours...

The best CPU settings

What governor is the best and max cpu frequency on SDSL REVO by miroslav ?

it depends on your CPU . every CPU has different quality: some cam go up to 900 mHz and some do freeze even at 806 mHz. Julst test it out but remember not to set the frequency at boot ^^
e.g i could go up to 880 mHz with .29 kernel (old mur4ik ROMs) for a few hours.
wih .32 kernel (PCFighter v5) 825 was the maximum
EDIT: smartass v2 is best governor for me

I Thought SmartassV2 was a battery saving governor ?
my quadrant score with REVO is always better on ondemand
@ 806mhz

So Smartass v2 is best for Performance and Most battery saving
Then just set what frequencies best suit your phone. ofc differ from phone to phone

for me smartass2 is best governor and my max cpu frequencu 729MHz, i use SDSL pre-Final, score in quadrant is 1259, and sometimes i oc it to 806MHz, then quadrant score is 1432, on same rom.

Smartassv2 is undoubtedly the best governor, my frecuencies are: min 245mhz and max 768mhz..
Antutu benchmark give me 1932

For me Smartassv2 is the best and my frequency is: min245 and max 806.

Smartassv2.
Min: 122
Max: 806

SmartassV2 with SIO, @122/600 daily use, Performance @245/852 for bench.
Freezes @ 864mhz

I use Smartassv2 min245 and max 729
It's the best for me, also best results with native freq.

Guys,
Everybody talks about "huge" Quadrant numbers...like >1400 points with similar settings I have.
I get 1060 points with SmartAssV2, CPU Min 245, MAX 729, JIT ON, CompCache OFF, VM size 32.
Can it mean that my CPU is "weaker" then others?
Thanks.

Every cpu is diferent, mine go max to 787 and give 1389 on quadrant, at 729 smartassv2 i get 1193 on quadrant.

@tempo
yeah mines is getting very weak too i used to get to 1500 for quadrant but now its very low like yours no matter how i set it.......
my cpu can no longer score above 3000................ ZZZZZ OMG next signing of contract is in may OMG

SmartassV2 gives lower scores.
Try with Performance governor, 245/~800mhz,u'll get an higher score

just wondering, where can i get smartass v2? would like to try it, but cant find it. or is it in the cyanogenmod settings of the rom?

If you use performance it will always scale the highest possible eg 806 so it wastes very much battery

Yeah,it's in Cyanogenmod Settings Go to Performance > Cpu Settings (mine is in italian,don't know if it's the right name)
You'll find, on the first option, the available governors.

Agni main profiles: gaming

Cpu max frequency: 2000
Gpu frequency: 440/700
Gpu threshold: performance
With this setting you will have incredible performances, but at the same time a monstrous battery drain xd.
Our note 2 is still a good phone also for gaming.
