[Q] ADWex lag / overclocking?

I'm running nightly 8/6/2011. I have three home screens at 5 columns, 8 rows.
Only widgets are Google Voice, Plume, and Playerpro.
My home screens lag when I scroll between them and I don't understand why. I'm thinking it could be my overclock settings. I had mine at on demand, with min at 600, and max at 1200.
Then I tried using nook tweaks and set the 4th step at 1200, 5th at 1300. Didn't really change anything about the home screen though (everything else runs blazingly fast, however. ).
Do I need to change voltages along with the cpu? What do you use that makes it run smooth? Some youtube vids really impress me.
Edit: I've also tried using performance, but it didn't feel like it changed anything. :/

you may want to try... in cm settings, lock home in memory and don't enable surface dithering, this may help.
have you try launcher pro? its vary super smooth and no lag.
here are my settings and stats. im using launcher pro and all is smooth and vary stable, with good battery life.
me: cm7 / n155 / conservative / 16 bit nenamark1 22.9 neocore 29.9 quadrant 2642
300 @ .8125v
600 @ 1.0v
800 @ 1.1625v
1100 @ 1.2375v
1200 @ 1.2875v

Thank you for the reply! I disabled dithering, and applied the same voltage/cpu steps, and it seems a lot better now!
I am used to adw-ex, but I see that launcher pro is a little more popular these days. I will try it out. Thanks again.

Voltage settings shouldn't affect your performace, they should be stable or unstable and cause things to not work.
The conservative governor is certainly not going to help your cause, ondemand is probably your best bet. You do not want to use performance, as it will set your cpu to max out non-stop.

[Q] overlocking lg gt 540

hi, i have the last pc fighter rom, which is based on cm, so i can overlock the phone with that settings
but i wanted to know which are the risks of it
and how do i do it
i mean, the min frequency is at 245 and max at 600, if i put the next higher frequency, do i need to put a higher min frequency too?
is there a rule or something while doing this? i mean, if i high something, i high/low another thing, and stuff ?
would be nice if you could tell me
i want to play smooth on fpse, thingh that i could get with an overlock
thank you!

Just get setcpu and do what ever you like. Play around with the frequency until you find it unstable

or there are lots of free overclock apps out there but setcpu has the best interface

No need for external app, increse max in small steps to see what is your cpu max, when you found max stabile speed enable set on boot and that is it.

GPU overclock kernel for ICS

If the SGX540 in P1000 can be overclocked to 370MHz, the performance of it can be highly improved like in Overcome Kernel.
(Can be showed in Quadrant Standard Edition. When it is in 370 MHz, the fps in the graphic animation of DNA can be promoted to 60fps. And got no lagging in anything. The speed(smoothness is nearly reached S2 which is official 2.3.6)
But however, it doesn't seem that any ICS supporting kernel can set the clock of GPU.
I am sorry that my English is not good enough to represent my idea, but I hope you can get what I am talking about.
And the most reason I want it to be real is that the potential of P1000 is quite big and in fact it is quite good!
PS Antutu SetCPU app can set GPU clock in Overcome Kernel.

Dang, I never knew that our GPU can be overclocked ^^
since this tab is getting old, maybe its time to overclock the gpu also?
Personally I'm agree with this

Probs a little off topic, (also to bump this up a bit)
But the Gnex which uses the same GPU can be overclocked to 512Mhz (Stock is 300 something I think), improvement seems noticeable in apps and in nenamark, you go from 27-28ish FPS to 31-32.
It would really help the tab, it seems to show age now (which makes me lust over a 7.7......)

What I knew is the potential of SGX540 in GNexus and GT are different.
GT one is 200MHz and GNexus one is 374MHz.
In Overcome Kernel w/ GT, the clock of SGX540 can be set to 370~38X Mhz w/ no crush but when it is 400MHz , the machine is seemed to be lagged.
The benchmark in Overcome 4.1 plus Overcome Kernel 4.0 can be promoted over the GT 7.7 (of course the mark doesn't represent the real using experience but let's just look at the 3D mark)

Haha, yea I know they have different potentials Just that I thought I'd let you guys know how much better overclocking the GPU would be.
I think its worth it, there is little impact on battery life, but the improvements in apps and usage are noticeable.

I think the battery usage for extra cost of GPU is not as high as CPU.
It is being a great difference if we compared the overclocking for either CPU and GPU.
The consumption of GPU is low and it won't make the device hot as CPU overclocking.
And the temperature can keep around 35 to 36 degree Celsius under a room temperature 20 Degree Celsius.
The result screenshot I have posted is undergoing CPU overclocked (1.4GHz) plus GPU overclocked(370MHz) w/ overcome kernel and rom.

Success!!!

Hello, i have been trying to implement LiveOC into humberos's kernel and it is a success
LiveOC
This allows us to modify the bus speed which increase both the cpu and gpu clock at the same time using an app called NStools
i have only been using this for a day now and it seems to be working very well
please report back any bugs thank you,
BTW i will post the settings i have used in NStools and this kernel is for the latest MTD build
Link: http://www.4shared.com/file/216rF_WJ/boot.html?
My settings:
Governor: smartassV2
min CPU freq: 200MHz (240MHz after applying OC Value)
Max CPU freq: 1000MHz (1200MHz after applying OC Value)
OC target low: 200MHz
OC target high: 1000MHz
OC Value: 120%

I'll give that a try when I get home (or maybe a few days later). So which ICS rom did you try this on?
EDIT: In terms of quadrant (which I know can be a bit volatile... but a nice way/quick way to see differences), ICS gets a lower mem score :< 3d is slightly lower, 2d is about double (I suspect thats forcing 2d rendering). This is comparing the gtab score in quadrant, I haven't used GB on my tab for a longgg time...)

how can i implement the boot.img file into the system???

This kernel is one i did 2 months ago and since then it has been updated. the kernel is in my most recent ROM

thanks for the information
as a newbie, i just thought another aokp by stimpz0r is identical
there is a strange point which is the fc of the camera while the shutter sound is closed, but it works while enabling the shutter sound
It is a great rom and thank you for your great work

[HOW TO] Overclock your GPU NOT MEANING CPU

I dont know if really many knows how to overclock your GPU but i tell it here if you didnt know.
Go to here:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
Then open gpu_oc in text editor and change number to 0, 1 or 2 and then save.
0= 307 Mhz 1= 384 Mhz 2= 500 Mhz
I recommend not to oc to 500 Mhz because your tab 2 will get really hot in 10 min. in gaming and other use.
All of them are stable at least for ME(maybe because my tab 2 is only 2 months old but still gets hot)
384 Mhz is good because it doesnt fry your tab and you get faster performance.
I dont know if this workson other phones/tablets but try at your own risk.But remember that in some games CPU overclocking may help too and i know it helps alot in shadowgun dz.
You overclock at your own risk.

This only counts for specific kernels, particularly OC kernels, I use mine at 512mhz, CPU at 1350mhz, runs pretty solid, I use CM 10.1.2 with AGNI Pure CM Kernel, prefer either AGNI Purestock for stock based roms and PureCM for CM roms as Boeffla config app is included, in that app you can set the GPU OC and it sticks, in the other kernels, you need to edit and save that text file after every power cycle.

I have actually looked for that type of app so thanks for sharing that app.

TricksterMOD from play store allows you to OC GPU as well.

MTK devices overclock possible MT6582 successfully overclocked !

Hi guys I'm new on xda and I'm really sorry if I post this thread in the wrong place.
I found a method last year with I think we can overclock/underclock our MTK devices.No custom kernel or ROM is required but the problem is that the CPU can't be overclocked.Only the GPU and other components like RAM and internal memory.
All you need to do is to install a MTK Engineering app from Google play store.
After that go to /hardware testing/DE-sense/PLLs - you will get to a menu with some different PLLs
ARM PLL - is CPU ( but can't be overclocked )
MM PLL - is the GPU ( it's safe to OC )
I don't know about other PLLs , I don't think is safe to OC them and you will not get any boost in performance.
There are the default PLLs values for my MT6582 device ( all clock speeds are in khz )
ARM PLL=1092000
MM PLL=500500 max / 266000 min
MSDC PLL=416000
MAIN PLL=1092000
VENC PLL=295750
UNIVI PLL=1248000
The best OC values for GPU are 315 MHz minimum frequency and 518 MHz maximum frequency,the minimum possible underclock frequency is 245 MHz minimum and 450 MHz maximum
From my tests I got a 10-15 fps boost in PSP emulators and 5-10 fps boost in 3D games (real racing 3,asphalt 8,modern combat 4) and benchmarks (antutu 5,gfx bench)
Here are the default clock frequencys for MT6589
ARM PLL=1508000 max / 754000 min
MAIN PLL=884000 max / 500000 min
MM PLL=338000 max / 286000 min
UNIV PLL=624000
MSDC PLL=208000
Here is the YouTube link,check it if you haven't understand this tutorial : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wY_i3u_Wu4w
Anyway I need an expert opinion to tell me what the other components are.
Attention !
- overclock can harm your hardware
- please make sure that you can remove your phone's battery because if you put a wrong value your screen can get stuck ! But if you are lucky your device will reboot
- make sure your device is rooted and you know your default clock speeds
- Do not try to OC any other components,only GPU is safe to OC
- I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone

I can't post this thread elsewhere because I'm not allowed even if I have more than 10 posts,admins please if you find this useful move it to a good location

very interesting. i want to try this on my unite3 lollipop with SoC 6582. but before that i want to ascertain default values for MMPL which i could not find when opened in engineeing mode. will you pls reply how to find default values.

Edit: whether values stick even aftet reboot and how to check it has overclocked or else.

Sorry for so late response but I don't have a mediatek phone anymore. Anyway so no you can't see what are the defualt values in mmpl but you have to find out your gpu clock speeds ( the maximum freq like 600 mhz and the minimum one,which the gpu idles at like 120 or 200 mhz). If you say that you have a mt6582 phone your maximum freq should be 500 MHz and you could try a 533 MHz overclock. Only big problem at this gpu trick is that we can't change the voltage also,so an stable oc will be very small. I reccomend to oc that idle freq which I don't know why this mali 400 uses it even in games making them lag. So try to oc that 200 MHz to 300 MHz,but don't go higher because the kernel will think that you want to change the max 500 MHz freq so the performance will get worse. First set something like 303000 and after 515000.These are some ideal valuse which I've tested by myself. Sorry for my bad english and greetings from Romania.

how about mt6750?

Wont work on my nokia 3 TA-1032
Sorry, this is a late reply but i dont know why it says "Fail to enter De-Sense PLLs module" when i tap PLLs.

There is no de sense pill option in mtkengineering mode on my device mt6761 android 8.1
