So I was trying to mess around with CPU profiles and I noticed that the low end of the CPU is clocked at 1GHz. If I lower it with Rom Toolbox, it just goes right back up after I leave the menu. the profiles won't stick, governors don't make a difference, and I'm a little confused.
Can someone shed some light on this for me?
I thought the lowest speed was 384 MHz? Install CPU Spy and check what it says.
It is 384MHz. The lower frequency change because of project butter that make the cpu run at a higher frequency when you touch the screen.

Dont you need a custom kernal in order to change the clock speeds?

No, we can already change it but it won't stick since it has its own frequency management.

Is this somewhat similar to perflocker in HTC devices? It had to be disabled to change any cpu settings AT ALL with the stock kernel.

You're right. I guess it just has its own profile to set at 1GHz when the screen is on, because the CPU Spy showed it in Deep Sleep/384Mhz for the majority of the night.

Hey guys, touch booster is really annoying on this phone. It pushes the phone to 1.06GHz everytime I touch it, and is starting to bug me.
Is there anyway to keep it scaling up properly?
I'm no expert at this stuff, but isn't this fast jump in CPU clock what pretty much makes Project Butter possible?
If I understand right (and I probably don't), I think this might have to do with with governor in-use. If your rooted; try using a different governor and then touching the screen.
Great, so now people are complaining about Project Butter's features... ok
How exactly does something like this bug you?
People are getting way too picky with this phone now. Relax, its a phone guys

The CPU goes up when you touch it so it can be responsive and quick to your inputs. How is this so annoying?
If you root it you can lower the max or change the governor buy chances are you will lose much of your responsiveness.
I understand that it is good for us to discuss issues and problems but some of the things I am seeing here are just really nit picking and complaining about things that are not bad at all. We are a spoiled society of humans, some more than others i guess.

Get some CPU control app and change the minimum frequency from 1GHz to 384MHz.

Under clocking will save battery in most cases but ot will also make your phone sluggish and slow depending on how much.

That will make your phone run so slow and crappy... Why have a decent cpu if the plan is to chop it? This defeats the entire purpose of having a 1.5ghz clock speed..

You have no idea what you are talking about.
Check the meaning of "MINIMUM CPU FREQUENCY".
P.S. O and btw I'm changed it to 384MHz on my Nexus 4. AND........wait for it........my nexus 4 is not slow and crappy........woo mind blown!
What I find interesting is on the nexus 4 the governor is on demand , and the scaling range is 0mhz- 1026mhz ( you can check using CPU spy +)
However on the nexus 10 , the governor is interactive and the scaling range is 0mhz -200mhz
I wonder why that is

Nexus 10 is a dual core tablet, not a phone. Check your PC some time or laptop. They scale totally differently than a phone does.

I have nexus 7 3G 32gb with trinity kernel,stock ROM.And i have question how do i overclock GPU?
Use Trinity kernel toolbox. It has the option to set the speed of the GPU and adjust the CPU voltages

Can my GPU burn or something like that?Or high GPU frequency will cause only reboot?
I've read that the max recommended GPU speed is 484.Going much higher the battery will drain too much and will get hot. If you set the speed to high it will become unstable and usually reboot. It will reboot and rest default speeds long before it will have time to melt. Just don't use your over clock settings to be set on boot

1. easiest way, use the trinity kernel toolbox and adjust the gpu slider up or down.
2. or manually go to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_oc/ with a root file explorer(like root explorer) and manually edit the variable and save it.
yes, it can get very hot if overclocking the gpu. especially when playing cpu intensive games. worst thing is youll reboot if things go haywire.
Excessive voltage and heat can easily fry a CPU/GPU and other motherboard components, so be careful.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and fairly new to Hacking and overclocking android devices. However I have been building and overclocking high end PC's for sometime. So I am no stranger to the risks or processes of overclocking.
But I have some questions that maybe you all can help me out with before I start overclocking my Nexus 7.
Here are my Current Specs and Software:
Nexus 7 Wi-fi version
SmoothRom v5.0 + LeanKernel
Currently I am overclocked to 1500 Mhz Max with 204 Mhz Min + Stock voltage
I have been able to find information about CPU overclocking. But after extensive searching I have not been able to find much on Nexus 7 GPU overclocking.
1. Does my kernel support GPU overclocking?
2. If so how do I enable it? Or where is it located? and what settings should I be looking for (Names)?
3. If you need an App to overclock the GPU are there any that are free (Or at least one worth paying for?).... and which one if any supports my kernel?
4. Are there any good Nexus 7 CPU and GPU overclocking guides someone could point me to?
Basically I am looking for someone who is experienced in Nexus 7 overclocking, to point me in the right direction and help me with some indepth questions that may come up.
Thanks guys

According to System tweaks App 39c to 40c while idling in that program. I don't know how accurate that app is though.... so if there is a standard better app to monitor your CPU/GPU temps I am all ears
I have yet to find an app that allows you to monitor your temps during load. Again if you can suggest one I am all for it.
Try trickstermod

Alright I will check that out. But what about GPU clock settings can trickster change those too??? And if so.... What setting am I looking for because I saw nothing referencing GPU clocks in those words
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It over clocks the GPU its on the 2nd to last page I think and you will see the clock speed and you can edit it, don't over kill though haha
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Lean kernel doesn't have GPU over clocking settings. Try M-kernel, you'll find gpu settings in the specific menu of trickster mod.
Ive been getting smoother results underclocking the G2 at either 1.7 or 1.9 and knock on seems more quick to response, but when I tried video recording the 60 fps isn't smooth when you are clocked at the regular speed.. beware...I ran a benchmark on quadrant standard and got 17,250 constantly so it is underclocked per core... I want to hear your opinion on this and do you plan to underclock or already are. I feel like the ability to be more smooth within the UI helps a lot more now..let me know your thoughts!

From using trickster mod and setcpu to underclock they only underclock cpu0 the other three still use the full frequency range.

No frills CPU control :0
At 1.9 my Antutu was the same add the One and oddly the graphics test dropped 15-20 frames even though we are not under clocking the GPU.

You're saying that by underclocking, you're getting a smoother UI but lower benchmarks?
No i got a higher benchmark than the guy who replied on my post. I did get a smoother UI and everything is less laggy. Ill post a pic of 2.3ghz idk if its actually at 1.7ghz or 2.3ghz ill do another test

I am tending to believe that the regular clock speed is actually overclocked...just like how the galaxy s4 is overclocked 200mhz more than normal...however I could be wrong..
If you really want to see if this odd issue is actually happening download an app called Multicore CPU Control (the only app of its kind that seems to work with the LG G2). I use this to save battery by turning off all but one core, but it allows you full control over all your cores.
Download it, create a profile, and set each core to what you want. I had to save the profile first, then go back in to edit the latter 3 cores' frequencies.
I would suggest setting the min and max to the same and choosing Performance for the governor. Use a different app to set the scheduler.
Be sure to have something like Kernel Tuner to ensure that all your cores are running as you intended. If not, go back into Multicore CPU Control and re-save your profile again.
Would love to hear the results afterwards!
I used Multicore CPU Control.
The only way to set clock to CPU 1,2,3 is let them always active. If I leave dynamic for these cores, they still go up to 2,26 GHZ. I think this the reason why HeXaLox have a little decrement when underclock because it only did for one core.
hello guys.
i just want to ask this very simple question, what MAX lowest freq i set on the G2? stock at 2.3ghz. can i set it at 1.5ghz? will it battery life?
thanks
Yes you can adjust cpu but you should have root. If you have root then use setcpu
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
thanks man! yes i have root, and i already set my Freq at 1.7ghz. so, will it somehow increase battery life? or battery will be the same?
thanks
Not that much if you do a lot yes but if you use it moderately it will be useless

Create different profiles in setcpu . I had made a profile in which when i yurn off the screen the cpu comes to 252mhz(maximum) which saves battery
