i recently rooted my wildfire and have installed cyanogenmod 7.0.3 and wanted to double check something, ive been looking around threads and these overclocking guides and i saw that one of them said you only need a kernel with the ability to overclock if you are on stock rom, otherwise you can install setcpu straight away and overclock, could someone please just clarify this, thanks
Cm7 has overclock built in so no need for additional kernal or setcpu app
Go to Settings > Cyanogenmod settings > performance > CPU settings
It's basically setcpu built in

thanks, i gave it a go but every time i boot it always restores itself to 528, how can i set it to stick at a certain speed? thanks

There is a check box that says something like " set at boot" tick this and it will retain your settings

Also Smartass Governor is very good. Its interactive so manages CPU when required or when your handset is idle

so does this mean it wont affect battery too much as it will automatically reduce the speed and increase it when required, also what speeds would you recommend for min and max?

Yeah, as far as I know it caps min setting to 352 when idle/sleep even if you have yours min set higher than that. It then uses required CPU up to your Max depending on what processes are taking place.
Overclocking will effect battery life if you push it to far. I currently have mine set at 352/691 and it works for me giving speed and battery life.
Experiment your own tho

I went and did a quadrant test and scored worse than the normal evo, and I'm rooted and running cyanogenmod 7. I got 956 average on 3 tests. PS, performance 1075 on Setcpu
and?
quadrant means nothing

Run smartass at 1190.
Also which kernel?
Does Setcpu have a smartass setting? And the stock cyanogenmod 7 kernel.

Use tiamat or savanged
Also why use setcpu with the performance settings in cm7?
The best way to improve your Quadrant score is to uninstall Quadrant and stop worrying about it....
Ok. But where's the smartass setting?

Smartass and 1190 I find is best balance for battery life and performance.
QUADRANT IS NOT A GOOD BENCHMARKING TOOL.
Check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE0hDwfzFOk&feature=player_embedded#at=322
Quit using Quadrant it is easily duped. Your scores can be increased easily in quadrant. You might even be able to follow the video and get better scores, so that way it will make you feel better.
Why is everyone so offended by the fact that this guy just wants answers on how to improve his benchmark?
Who cares if you find no value in it, he does.
Answer his questions and move on or ignore the thread.
I'm first going to reiterate what everyone else has said... don't worry about Quadrant, or benchmarks or any of that.
with that out of the way, the absolute best I've ever achieved is when I first got my phone and was pushing for high Quadrant numbers, and I was on an AOSP Rom and installed CM Turbo Kernel, like... 6. something, and I turned the "Turbo" feature on. got like 1850 after a few attempts. that's the absolute best, and it wasn't stable. was running 1190, on Hardware 002, which my phone did NOT like. I get about 900 now and I'm happy because my phone is usable for a full day!

Running a different kernel isn't the issue. Having the min clockspeed set low and running a benchmark that doesn't tax the phone enough for it to ramp up the clockspeed is the issue. Set the min and Max to 998 or more then run the benchmark.

Not what I was referring to.
He asked why he didn't have the "smartass" governor available.
Hey guys with all the quadrant scores being posted everywhere, I haven't seen a topic dedicated to these alone. So that's what this thread is for. Here are the rules:
Rule 1: when you post a quadrant please tell everyone what Rom/Kernel you are running so if anyone wishes to follow your steps they may do so.
Rule 2: Please merge your posts if your going to post one after another or simply edit your post and update it to maintain order.
That's it. Thanks guys and here is my quadrant. AOKP 40.1 devil .97 with v6 super charger and kak

Hey azuma how did you get your CPU so high? Also I need you to test something for me. Antutu tels me I'm pulling over 3200 in a quad. But quad pro tells me just over 2600. I'm unsure which to believe
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I believe antutu runs more tests than quadrant, therefore showing a higher score, but I could be mistaken?
My phone IS fast and stable, but now I think I need to work on better battery!?

Dim your screen. Go to (I think development) and put a chexk in kill background processes and leave no programs running. I also use toolbox pro to freeze apps that continuously run and use the mobile web version of them.

Seems like you started this thread so we could show off each of our own tweaks and roms. I came here for a little advice too. That way I could see some big performance increases to my phone.
(first screen capture)
old rom: AOKP 40
old kernel: devil .79
old CPU governor: smartassv2
min-max frequency: 200-1400
(second screen capture)
Current rom: AOKP 40
Current kernel: devil .79
Current CPU governor: conservative
min-max frequency: 100-1400
I was curious I used the ROM setting built into the AOKP rom to set the cpu frequency, but should i use devil kernel config or manager or nstools. or is that just for live OC? My cpu frequency is set at boot. My quadrant scores are pretty low. Any tips for a noob?

Yeak I got a couple for ya.
Go to settings, Developer settings, then put a check mark in Force GPU Rendering Make sure the Max CPU is 1400 low is 100 Governer I have set to conservative, ZRam is set for 100mb. Try those settings and reboot before you test again

Ok I believe the Force GPU rendering definitely made the biggest difference. My 2d and 3d scores jumped up. I updated my post. For some reason in the ROM controls it took a couple tries for the new cpu and governor settings to stick after reboot.

MunkyDrunky that still seems a little low considering what everyone else is pulling. Try this as well. And I'll include the files from my phone when I get to my computer with instructions.
Get if not already had toolbox
And go to performance and SD card boost. Change the value to 2480 (I think it is. It will give you a preferred high set)
Go to app manager and freeze any constantly running services that you would normally use such as yahoo mail Facebook etc. And use the mobile web versions to help save ram. I'll include v6, 3G, and a few other files you'll need as well.
After the SD boost and app freeze reboot phone into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot and try your test again.

Ok Ive used Rom toolbox when I was using the Gummy rom. Would I still use devil kernel config or manager for the cpu and ram free value changes? How do I make sure the changes will always stick, ive had trouble with that after reboot.

I should say my running apps are usually not many. Right now its Rom Control, Android keyboard, Maps, Nova Launcher, and Rom Toolbox, and Superuser. I test my gps a lot with Maps. Otherwise I dont have a lot running since this isnt my daily use phone. I want it to be again but want to get it flying first.
Thank you for the good advice and help. Trying SD boost now...will try v6 and 3g speed boost later
I use v6 supercharger, sd boost, and app quarantine while at 1300 MHz and I still only get around 1500...I feel like that's pretty low for AOKP MS6 with devil right?

guys I am rooted on stock 4.1.2, unlocked bootloader an' all that jazz, i used to use setcpu on nexus s and the old droid milestone, does setcpu work for the razr m? any good working profiles without the reboots and stuff ?
All of the 4.2.2 roms I have tried have a settings option called Performance that lets you set the min/max CPU speeds, switch between different kinds of governors, and play around with RAM management settings.

So far the clocks have stuck Meaning once you set a clock its stays there, doesn't reset to default. As for govs and I/O, I use msm-dvcs as my gov and row as my I/O. Msm-dvcs will shut a CPU core down when not needed

That's nice... but shutting down a core... isn't that harmful for the phones life or something? Just asking to increase my knowledge that's all...

Unfortunately I don't dabbled in profiles as I personally find them unreliable. I just stick it at a certain clock and set my govs and I/O. If you want to know my configuration, I set my clock to 1350MHz and min to 384. The gov and I/O I've already mentioned.
Here is a link to what each governor does, and what there advantages and disadvantages are. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663809

thanks bro, that's really informative, i think ill solve that out but once again, battery life with speed is what everyone's after, yes the M has plenty of oomph under the bonnet but clocking it down will save battery yeah?
the profiles you have set are stable enough? no random reboots or lags?

Hey can anyone recommend an app to mess with/fine tune kernel settings? I've tried and do not really like the Trickster Mod app because it often doesn't save what I chose and just reverts to something different... Thanks in advance!
BTW I'm on a Sprint S5 running MOAR v2.0 and running the stock NE5 kernel.

Hi,
u tried Synapse kernel tweaker ?
It's a valid generic app for work with kernel setting
There are dozens of kernel and cpu control apps. You didn't give us much sense of what you are looking for so we can't make any targeted suggestions.
I used CPU adjuster. But there are lots of others e.g. CPU tuner, set CPU, Kernel tweaker, etc.

Always used Set CPU, it's an old one but it's light and does the job. Has the options so long as the kernel support it.

Hey guys I have a question... which scheduler should I use when I want to play games/save battery (out of: noop, deadline, row, cfq) and which governor should I use when I want to play games/save battery (out of: interactive, conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance)?? TIA!!
For the governor, for gaming you should use performance, it maintains the device at a high CPU speed at almost all times, to save battery you can use powersave or conservative, I prefer conservative, and for normal device use ondemand or interactive. As of scheduler, I don't really know about them
BTW you can set your device to automatically change between them when needed with Franco's Per-App Modes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.perappmodes
Its a paid app but it is worth the money
