[OC][UV] EPIC 4G Overclocking Data Roundup

Hey overclockers!
We have pushed this hardware so far beyond what it was originally designed to do. All other ICS-capable phones seem to have either faster-clocked or dual-core CPU. Overclocking seems to be a critical factor in pushing the limits of this device even further, to run the OS versions of the future and still perform smoothly without lag. So....
How about we share some OC/UV settings? Things like the following:
Voltage required for stable overclock at a certain frequency
Max stable frequency
What OC and testing apps do people recommend?
Which CPU Governor and I/O scheduler give you the best results?
Benchmark & stability test results
Kernel
ROM
Yes, I know OC/UV performance varies on every specific piece of silicon out there. But it would still be interesting to be able to compare OC with others to see if you're even in the ballpark. For example -- I'm perfectly stable at up to 1300Mhz and 1350mV vCore. I get app FCs and spontaneous reboots at 1500MHz even at up to 1525mV vCore. Is that better or worse than others? Is it really the OC that is causing the issue? Seems to be, cause it stops happening when I disable 1500Mhz.
If you overclock, please post your data here. Whichever data you like. Just please include your Kernel and ROM also, so that we can compare apples to apples.
Note: I am not actually encouraging anyone to overclock. There is always some risk involved, and it does technically void your warranty and can break your phone (but so can a lot of things ).

OC/UV Data
Max stable voltage/frequency - 1300Mhz @ 1350mV
OC app - Voltage Control Extreme
Stability testing app - LinPack
CPU governor - lagfree
I/O scheduler - noop
Kernel - SAMURAI.TANTO.CM9.MTD.02.15.02.35
ROM - CM9 Alpha 3

[*]Max stable voltage/frequency - 1400Mhz @ 1325mV
[*]OC app - Voltage Control, tegrak overlook ultimate
[*]Stability testing app - LinPack, smarkbench, quadrant standard
[*]CPU governor - conservative
[*]I/O scheduler - deadline
[*]Kernel - the newest Shadow Kernel MTD
[*]ROM - same setting on every ROM I use.
Edit:
I don't use 600Mhz, 900Mhz, 1100Mhz, or the 1300Mhz frequencies. And I undervolt everything. I also change the internal voltages to Rodderik's Genocide kernel defaults.

I usually just OC to 1200 on whatever the stock voltage is set to. Sometimes I run it a little higher when playing N64oid.

[*]Max stable voltage/frequency - 1500mhz - 1500mv
[*]OC app - Voltage Control, Control Freak

[*]CPU governor - Lagfree
[*]I/O scheduler - VR
[*]Kernel - Samurai cm7 1.27.12
[*]ROM - CM7.2 #44
However my everyday overclock is 1200mhz at 1350mv. I run this normally because this is the freq our processors were built to be able to run max. Sammy underclocked us for battery life since competition was only at 1ghz at the time. Normally I run the performance gov but lately this has been getting the cpu stuck at 800mhz. I have the epic touch 1800mah battery so I don't really have to worry about battery life.

My phone runs perfectly up to ~1.3Ghz. At ~1.4 freezing and crashing starts.
The voltage in my kernel for 1.3ghz is 1350. I don't mess with it.

I'm going start making my max frequency 1.2 now I can uv it to 1275mV sweet so far no freeze up broswer test time .

I agree with him. I've tried overclocking and my phone can easily run 1.5ghz stable. Definitely boosts performance but not in any way that's entirely necassary (other than showing off, benchmarks, killing your battery faster, and shortening the life of your hardware). My phone runs perfectly smooth on stock cm9.

I must be biased because of my epic touch battery. I can go performance 100/1500 with screen brightness all the way up and get the same battery life as the stock battery @ stock freq's.
Hypothetically if you guys get the sprint galaxy nexus @ 1.5ghz would you underclock it to 1.0ghz just because it works "fine"?
You guys need to stop being a slave to "stock" cpu frequencies and your battery. The hummingbird was designed to do 1.2ghz @ 1350mv.

I admit it's just my opinion. ICS "runs fine" at 1ghz. It's "tolerable". But IMO there is noticeable lag so it's not what I would call "good performance". I posted the settings for my phone that I have found to give me acceptable performance for my setup. Stock CPU frequency did not perform acceptably to me, so that's why I said that overclocking is a critical feature.
The UI lag is affected greatly by the CPU clockspeed but that's definitely not the only factor involved. It depends how many widgets you have on your homescreen, how many apps are running in the background, whether those currently running apps are stored on the SD card or not, how fast your SD card is with random reads/writes, your I/O scheduler, and other factors. For example, I noticed a big improvement in responsiveness and loading times simply by switching to noop scheduler (UI felt much snappier than with VR or CFQ). I also store a lot of apps on the SD card so I bought a 32gb Class 4 Sandisk microSD card because benchmarks show it has better 4K random write performance than the stock Samsung 16gb card, and I think that made a big improvement also.
I think we are already pushing the limits of this device simply by running ICS with its greater amount of eye candy and swooshiness. That's before we even start to run backgrounded apps like trillian, twidroyd, juicedefender, batterymonitor, and pandora all simultaneously with gps navigation in the foreground. All of this is doable, even with this phone's single core processor and RAM, but it's much more pleasant to do with an overclocked CPU. I know, because it's what I do with my phone every day. Sure, it nukes the battery, but I don't care because I'll just swap another one in when it dies and I care more about using my phone's capabilities than keeping it alive for 24 hours without charging. When I am out in the woods away from a charger I turn all this off and go into low power mode.
YMMV, of course

I'm confused here. Do you mean you put an Epic 4G Touch battery in an original Epic 4G and get increased life? Or you actually use a Touch?

The epic touch battery fits in the OG epic just fine just its a little snug. However there are three major reasons why I got it
1. It has 1800mah, 300 more than stock
2. It is made in japan vs china (better battery tech)
3. My year old stock battery is not in good health (remember EF02 that **** got hot
You can find it on amazon for 18$ shippped

I use the Epic Touch battery. I'm not saying anything horrid against overclocking I'm just saying cm9 works for me smooth as butter and I've found no need for it. I don't even get lag playing games like GTA3 or MC3 so I don't have a need to stress the hardware or consume more battery. To each their own but my cm9 runs just fine as is.

Make your Desire Z blazing fast - Legendary

Hey all .. I have been a registered user on xda for over a year now and after a really loooong rom trails, finally i have reached the best performance for our Desire Z .. Found the best rom with best setting so far
Whats amazing is that the rom is Sense 3.5 and it runs smoothly than any other rom i have ever seen even the de-sensed ones
p.s Before stating the roms i would like to thank all the devs over xda and other websites for the huge effort they put in these roms
I tried
1. MIUI
2. CM7
3. RunnyDoroid
4. BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid
5. LeeDroid_HD
6. Virtuous Unity
7. Virtuous Affinity
8. Virtuous Sense
9. Coredroid
10. InsertCoin_Vision
11. RCMix
And all ICS ports .. By far This rom with these settings r the best performance i have ever experienced on my Desire Z and i would like to share it with you .. So let's Start
Rom Name:
Android Revolution HD™ 7.0.2 - Thanks to Napior and Mike1986
Kernel:
RCMix v12.2 Kernel
Tried Virtuous Kernel too (Didn't notice any speed differences but if you want to go with the Virtuous Kernel its running smoothly ). Thanks to Zofox
Tweaks:
(What i installed not all available ones)
A. RCTweaks v2.0 (For All Sense 3.5 ROMs)
B. TouchPad Wake On
Lets go for the Settings
Using V6 - SuperCharger
I used the MegaRAM 2 w/512mb option 9 in this script (Reported to have some issues with gaming - try option 6 for gaming please)
Gives me around 145MB of free Ram with 53 Apps installed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OC - I am using Set CPU just for monitoring (Dont change the frequencies just monitor the CPU frequency and temp)
I am using governer - smartass
*If you decided to go for the Virtuous Kernel (go for screen off profile scary and the default governor SavagedZen - Both with the same frequencies 245MHz to 1075 MHz)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SD-Booster (for SD card speed) Setting 8192KB
VM Heap Tool - Setting 32m
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Used Swap following this tutorial (Thanks for masterismos for guiding me to the tutorial) - Used 512MB for EXT and 256MB for swap partition
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats all .. Hope this topic will help Desire Z owners to have a reliable, fast, stable and enjoyable phone
P.s if anyone got a better setting or an app i missed please tell me.
Note: If u got a USB mass storage problem when trying to hock ur phone to a laptop or a pc (the Only one i faced) - Use SD Dual Mount it will solve the problem like charm
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benchmarks:
* With Antutu benchmark
* Using the above settings

I have tried your setup. And I have to say, something weird is happening. Whenever I try a game, after a few minutes, the screen goes black. The app is still running, because if I close the screen and open it again, there it is.
Any idea?

That never happened with me .. but try changing the V6 - Supercharger to option 6 that might solve the problem .. try it and get back to me
p.s it was reported by some users that some memory handling in v6 - SuperCharger does not handle games well (reported for option 7 up till now)
Whats your opinion about the overall performance of the phone?

I am trying option 6 now and it is running smoothly on Angry Birds Space with no problems .. Please get back to me as soon as u try it

Seems like that did the trick. Overall performance - WOW! 140mb free ram on a Sense 3.5 ROM. Never thought that was possible.

damn ... 3 days ago I tried every single ROM there is, and I really taught Virtuous sense is the one to go .. now I have to do it again (and I hate flashing cause of paranoia of brick, even though I do it by the book) .. guess I will try it if lots of you say only positive stuff.
what's the ROM's default CPU frequency ?

With this configuration, do you "lose" any messages? I often don't receive messaged with Sense 3.5 roms.

Kernels Performance

since i saw a lot of kernel for the beast N7100
and i think a lot of you may be asking which kernel to choose
i liked just to make a small comparison for those kernel via Antutu Benchmark
some of you care for the performance results, and some just want a balance Kernel
therefore i tested almost all kernel for the SAMMY based kernels and upload the pix for you
in this way you may get a better idea how might your phone look alike, But also you have to watch you Battery​

alright but now do some tests for battery life, i think thats no1 reason what people want in custom kernel
use every kernel for few days with "normal" usage and do screenshots every day of battery and screen on time when batttery goes critical. i planned to do that but kinda lazy
also it would be good to do some recording of wakelocks on every kernel.

They actually use repeatable tests. Or at least I hope they do. Not just you running the benchmark once...
If you want even a modicum of respect in the field of scientific testing, you'd have given the details of the ROM version in use, and also the process used to average the results over a number of executions.
Scientific tests are based across running one test multiple times without changing anything, as it increases the reliability of the results if they agree with each other.
Usually you can discount the lowest and highest result each time you repeat the same test, but then you need to average the remaining results. I'd expect that benchmarks should be normally distributed around the actual score.

Wow your scores are pretty bad. I use to get 19,000+ with ARHD and Perseus kernel OC to 1.8Ghz and UV down to -50mv. However, I also realised that if you keep benchmarking repeatedly one after the other you will get lower scores due to built up of heat and other factors such as RAM usage. So the question is: How long did you wait between benchmarking a kernel and what were the precautions you took before initiating a benchmark run? And what was the average score of each kernel?

if u take a look on the screenshots, u will see exactly the time and the average compared to the 3 oc 1600 1800 and 2000

Maybe re-run the test? Clear Memory, Kill apps before running each test?
Take the average of lets say 3 runs?

Does the nav bar mod allow for more than the home/recent/back options? Thanks for putting these together.

no, its just the stock navbar within the system ui, the search and menu soft buttons are inside of the system ui, just not linked to the navbar. so in theory, to add those 2 buttons, i would have to go to the xml files and copy the instance where the back button is but change all references to back/menu. I was going to focus most of my development time on these mods but the 3.0 kernel source was released yesterday so i am working on a custom kernel. This means fully working ics roms. I am adding overclocking to 1.9 ghz, and some governers, the usual stuff.

the highest I have gotten it to go [while being ULV'ed] was 1.35Ghz
after being pushed any higher is would freeze and bootloop
really badly. This was when the Thunderbolt came
out and it still had Gingerbread with custom kernel.

I was able to get GB up to 1.6 by overvolting but like I said. You can fry it. Now if I go up that high it locks up instantly. Tbh oc up to 1.9 won't do you much good except drain the battery or screw the phone up permanently.

Totally agree.
I think the only reason you should have it that high is the "wow factor"
Now having it Under-Volted just a smidge is what I have always used..

You can't actually screw up your phone from oc'ing it, only ov'ing. Worst case scenario, it gets hot, freezes, and reboots... And you're right where you were before. I'm running mine at 1766 right now, all of our processors handle over clocking differently
Edit: running steady at 1920
Edit: aaaand it froze haha. Test your CPU's limits, mines 1766, what's yours?

Everyones processor has a different amount of wear and tear, the previous owner of my bolt never overclocked past 1.2 ghz so i can easilly run mine at 1.7 ghz stable, the option for 1.9 is there for those who can handle it

You indeed can ruin your processor running oc. It was intended to run at 1ghz and running oc at any level over what it was intended will shorten the life of if substantially. Lets not confuse people about that fact. It can be harmful for your processor.

I agree that it can shorten the life of your processor and ware it but your statement made it sound like if you select anything over 1.5 will instantly kill your cpu. That can happen with computers but in android if its clocked too high for the cpu to handle, the kernel panic makes it reboot so your processor doesnt in fact "fry itself".

Mine runs at 1.2ghz stock, since the JB update. I believe that these cpus are actually meant to run at 1.2ghz, but were under-clocked when released. So running at 1.3 or 1.4 ghz is really not pushing it.

I have always been an avid OC'er on any machine I have ever owned..
BUT just because -I- could not over-clock it higher didn't mean it was
a crappy kernel.. ALL phones are made differently no matter if it is the
same hardware profile or not...

I had a Samsung Moment and found this information out
it was a stock stocked at 600Mhz SPRINT OC'ed it to 800Mhz and
it could be OC'ed to 1.12Ghz without it freezing or being unstable.
So I know exactly what you are talking about when you said this..

[NOOK HD+] those with cm 10.1.3 post benchmarks?

Those of you who are running CM 10.1.3 stable or nightlys can you post scores of benchmarks such as antutu ver 3.3.2 - 3.5, quadrant, 3dmark, androbench?
Want to compare scores from CM 10.1.3 with stock version 2.1.1 to see if there is any major improvement or difference. Also is battery life better, the same or worse comparing CM 10.1.3 to stock?
Also with CM 10.1.3 can you hide navigation buttons to make everything full screen when playing a game or web browsing? can you put the status bar on bottom with navigation buttons so nothing is on top? just curious...
Thank you!

I'm interested to hear this as well.
I have 10.1.3 but have not installed it.
Still running 10.1 6/30 emmc build. no complaints, but if 10.1.3 is an improvement...

Default resolution
Hot plug, Deadline, purge assets, dithering set to default, 16bit transparency.
With stock Nook ROM 2.1.1 I think my best was around 2100.

Only preference changes where 16bit transparency and 'Allow purging of assets'.
These tests where run after the Nook was on for alitlte while and being used for a bit.

3038 vs 3068 is REALLY splitting hairs.
Did you turn on GPU Rendering to do that?

What is and where is that ?
So far im pretty happy with how my Nook runs (but its the only tablet ive used and owned) but if there are ways to make it run smother, id like to give it a shot.

Settings > developer options > force GPU rendering.
It forces the gpu to render 2D objects as opposed to the cpu doing it. (I'm assuming)

to my knowledge you can't access those settings on stock nook but i would love to be able to. for me i got 2985 running 2.1.1

You're right, only with CM roms can you do that. Be nice to have more options like that on stock. But I'm pretty satisfied with stock so far, with root and 3rd party app install enabled.

Thanks guys for the shots to compare stock 2.1.1 with!
I have to admit my new nook hd+ manufactured I assume not to long ago, has been pretty dam smooth and snappy and no lag what so ever!
In androbench I get some amazing scores since I have a new off the press Toshiba 16gb chip inside. Fast random reads and writes! This helps the nook hd tremendously. Also I use novo launcher, wifi set to sleep after stock 15 minute time frame although need an app to adjust that on stock, everything tweaked as far as I can do in stock and pretty dam good for a 9 inch 1920x1200 tablet with a 6000mah battery that so far after 3-4 full discharges and charges I got 7 hours and 30 minutes screen time using it off and on for 3 days and 17 hours (screen little less than half brightness). Must have a good battery inside as well.
Cannot beat the price for 149.00 dollars plus tax. Also it gets a better 3d score using the PowerVR SGX 544 gpu in quadrant at the native resolution than other tablets with high res screens. Also it beats a Nexus 7 1st generation and the Sero 7 in the 3dmark benchmark on extreme preset (at higher res). Not bad!

Is there a way to tell the manufacturer/details of the 16 GB internal memory? I have already purchased 2 refurb HD+'s and have a 3rd on order. My kids love 'em (and I do too)!

Download Vellamo benchmark from Google Play, you can side swipe the screens and menus in program, one of the screens shows your device in purple and system information and you click or touch that and scroll down the system info and you'll see brand name and revision code of your built in storage.

Thanks for the tip!. I see that I have the Samsung MAG2GA. Is there anything I need to be concerned about with running CM 10.1.3?
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using xda app-developers app

Don't run lagfix or enable trim support because samsung emmc is not compatible and will hardlock the nook due to corruption!

Hmmmm. I've already run lagfix a couple of times - hope it hasn't caused any damage.
It's a shame there isn't a manufacturer fix for this that can be applied, as is sometimes the case with SSDs.

ran it again with force gpu render on for 2D and score went just over 3000

Antutu with Samsung 13376
Antutu with Sandisk memory 13475
Not sure how much of the performance difference may be attributed to the memory type.
