[Q] Defy overclocking - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to every one..just asking about the max freq level of defy CPU that can tolerate without damaging and with long battery life using overclocking method? and which is the best CPU setting for defy including best device performance and battery live?
thanks

this is such a subjective question...everyone has their own setup that works best for them because each defy unit is different. The best thing you can do is search this forum for OC/UV settings that people have used successfully and vary those for your own device.
also, this belongs in 'Defy Q&A'..

[Q] How to overclock my HTC HD2 with Android ?

Hi !
It's my first thread, i hope you can find the solutions to solve my problem.
In first time, i'm sorry to my bad english. So, my problem is:
I have a HTC HD2 and i know to install Android on that. My new challenge is to overclock my device, with SetCPU or other. I have already followed some tutorials to do a few profiles... I did it, the maximum value i selected is 998 MHZ. It's Ok i think, i cross "Set on boot" and "enbale" so when i use Quadrant Standard Edition, i check 1024 Mhz. But when i see the device of XDA's devs i can see like rafpigna's nand 3024 MHZ ! Here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528
My questions are:
1. How can i do it ?
2. Can i accelerate my N64's roms (with N64oid) if i succeed to solve this problem ?
Thx for all.

Same question here... but, we really need to use setcpu????
I hope some people can answer us

This is totally dependent on the Kernel supporting overclock.
This question cannot be answered completely due to the fact there are several Android ROMs with different configurations and preset Set-CPU profiles.
Also it appears you've mistaken the Quadrant score to be the frequency of the CPU? The CPU was not 3024MHz, that is the Quadrant score. The CPU was 1.5Ghz.
I believe 998MHz is the standard highest processor speed of the HD2, unless you have a Kernel which supports overclocking you can do whatever you want in Set-CPU and it won't change a thing.
I'm afraid I cannot answer your question regarding the emulator but I believe it would not have a massive effect, maybe fix some lag if you have any.
Thanks you very much. So if i install the Rapigna's buil i can have this quadrant's score ? Really ? Because it's HIS Kernel which he can does this ?
Isnt it also the case the overclocking will only work when the phone is running with the charger plugged in?
I have not seen any overclocking working on battery (although i imagine it would kill the battery!).

No.
There are a multitude of threads from users moaning about overclocking depleting the battery far quicker than the standard clock settings. That on its own is enough to conclude the phone doesn't have to be plugged in to allow the overclock to work.

You may receive comparable results although Quadrant scores have been criticised because of what they are based upon. You may receive lower scores. Running your phone in an overclocked state is an effective way of shortening the life of your phone, if you want to play games so much I would suggest maybe a PSP or Nintendo DS?
Overclocking depends on the kernel that is used. Kernel like tytung's kernels supports max speeds of up to 1190mhz. Rapigna's kernel supports up to 1.5ghz.
Based on this, if you use these kernels, use it alongside setcpu to control your overclocking.
However, I strongly advise against overclocking + charging at the same time unless if you are in an air conditioned room. There has been some speculation that overheating might be related to the recent outburst of touchscreens failing "mysteriously". Another technique to avoid this is to use a battery temp profile in SET CPU to give you a warning when your battery has reached dangerous levels.
Thanks for all !
1190mhz is the best and safest over clock speed

Power saving app

Hi everybody,
I installed cm7 to my phone and i like it but i like power saving app on original 2.3.5 on U8800. How to find original power saving apk?
Moved To Q&A​
We now have a Q&A section. Please post all questions there​
If you already have a costume ROM and setted up the CPU's speeds and governor, you really can't to much more than controlling brightness, turning off wifi when you don't need... you know... basic stuff.
Try playing with governors and the processor scaling to find the most suitable for you. The golden line between speed-smoothness and battery saving. From my experience there is no magic applications.

[POLL] NAND-users: What governor do you use on your HD2?

So, the title says it all.
I'm curious about what governor do all you guys use??
Place your vote here.
Also, feel free to comment why you choose your governor!

Lagfree, on Marc's Kernel. Awesome, but not in your poll.....
I think this should be moved to q&a.
My favorite: smartassv2
Why? It includes a stanby management, is stable and fast.

You shoulda posted in Q&A
But i use smartassv2 with my OWN custom settings and i use it because it gets great performance with amazing battery life
I am still working between different settings on TBD. Lagfree with Marc's kernel is good but I am now working with smartassv2 with custom settings. So far so good
Lagfree 128 - 1190
btw, this should be in the Q&A
It sucks that majority of governors have no description, so only way to decide between them is through trial and error (which is very tedious given the number of governors and differences may only be placebo) or by reading other's recommendations.
I was using convervative with a heavily customized settings, then smartass/V2/smoothass (switching between them, AFAIK they are very similar anyway), but now I'm testing Hyper as it's default on new DORIMANX.
moved to Q&A
Not sure if this is a thread to post this sort of problems...
Anyway, at the moment I got a HD2 running flawlessly HyperDroid-CM7-v5.9.0 with smartassV2 governor and I'm very happy with it.
The problem is that as soon as I switch to for example interactiveX governor I start getting freezes where the phone is left screen on and nothing else working.
I've been previously dual booting wp7 and android sd. Back then I had same sorts of freezes on android but would just tweak my auto memory killer to less aggressive settings to not get freezes. I'm a bit confused on this but after all quite sure that this is about something else than memory related problem.
Any ideas?
I have also tried few of these governors, but I think that there is no big difference between the better ones like hyper, ondemand etc. just a placebo when somebody release "new" governor

[Q] How to change nexus 7 cpu hot-plug settings ?

Hello,
I've noticed that mkernel ([email protected] 7) takes a little bit longer to switch more cores online (some times the CPU can stay at 100 for 1_2 sec) and that kind of problem never happened on stock kernel so is there any way to change hot-plug settings to switch on more cores faster ?( at lower load ) please note that I'm already on interactive covernor
Thanks in advance.

That is not really a legitimate reason. There is a reason for the post requirement.
The hot plug configuration is set to what the kernel dev believe is optiomal (battery/performance) if by looking in the thread you notice you are the only one withnp that opinion, it would be wise to assume it will not change for 1 user and perhaps you would be better finding a kernel that suits you instead of requesting a change for you.

I'm not requesting a change don't get me wrong I just want to know how to change that (like changing some values in text file located somewhere in the kernel ). Plus the kernel is very very good and I don't want to change it.

Oh hey I think I might be helpful here.
Honestly I don't know what to tell you. The hotplug up2gn delay (the time tegra autohotplug will wait to see if load goes down before switching on another G core) has been increased by .01 seconds from stock in alpha 30. From 140ms (stock) to 150ms (a30).
How are you watching your CPU to make your "stuck at 100%" for one to two second assessment?
Are you sure you're using the latest alpha?
Strange as no one else seems to have this issue.
(Side note - why do people post questions... literally with [Q] in the title... in general instead of q/a?)

First thanks for your kernel and your support
I use resource monitor mini and I didn't noticed this issue on stock kernel as the CPU usage always below 75%.
Yes a30
Maybe they just don't monitor their CPUs usage .
I think because q question (when I don't know the answer)
And q/a (when I ask a question and I know the answer)
Just my opinion.

Best ROM + Kernel that allows UV?

Hey I'm kind of noob at this but like does anyone know what the best ROM and Kernel when installed on the same nexus 4 lets me undervolt and gives me the best battery life?
Thanks
Hello Noob,
First off I would like to say you can't ask that question around here. It's just not allowed.
You need to find out what's best for you. Try all the kernels and roms and experiment with it. That's is part of the process of being here on XDA forums. I'm positively sure all or if not most of the kernels here has the ability to undervolt. To curb the misconception, i just want to say that undervolting does little to no power saving at all.
