So I'm a noob. Rooted my phone today to OC the CPU. It's at 1.1 ghz, and I'm really wanting some reassurance that the CPU isn't overheating. I know nothing about it to be honest. I downloaded the Temp+CPU PRO app and realize I need a kernel (whatever the hell that is) in order for the widget to properly read my CPU's temp. Only problem is I don't know where to get it or what to do with it. Help please? Also, how risky is it to OC my G2? Is it worth the risk? Please advise!!!

Get setcpu. Its the best thing to control the cpu speed and temp of the phone with the profile options and saves battery life when OCed

I started this thread because i want to be able to use Sparksco kernel v14 but it freezes when its set to 1.0GHZ I been running v10 as my daily kernel and its bottomline on my top list of kernels. Any help will be much appreciated, im on the latest nightly CM255, i had to revert back to v10 because i need speed to check emails and surf the internet...If theres another update for the V14 in the future i hope that can be a fix or its probably my setup that prevents me from reaching any higher speeds, overall Sparksco you the man!!! By the way ICS devs yall get mad props peace...
I use sparks v14 kernel on cm nightly 255 clocked right under 1ghz using smartass governer no problem. I did a full wipe of everything, and formatted system before install of everything of course. Edit: I clocked it to 2ghz and no freezes here. Did you do a full wipe before the install of the ROM/kernel?

Wrong forum buddy. This is a development section.

I'm going to have to give that a shot homie...
Kernel v14 is more geared for battery saving. I haven't updated the voltages yet because I'm not compiling gingerbread anymore, rather been working on getting a stable ICS rom build before I do more work on it. As soon as we get ICS gingerbread will be a thing of the past. Kernel v14 works good for some and v10 for others. I like v14 because of the battery I've been able to get on 122mhz min and 998mhz max. But if you up the min to the next highest setting (230mhz) you shouldn't get any lockups. Or even try 307mhz.
Edit: looks like 307mhz min is the only clock speed that allows me to overclock to 2ghz and not have any lockups. I'm also on cm nightly 255 pzguzman, and I always keep it on smartass governor.
P.S. The mods should be able to move this thread no problem without removing the comments or thread.

Yeah, forgot to mention as sparks said, at 2ghz the min is at 307mhz.

Oh okay i see Sparksco thanks for clarifying the setup, i dont mean to steer anybody in the wrong direction especially from working on a ICS BUILD which is the most highly anticipated OS for android. But im going to flash v14 and try out the setting and will get back and let you know thanx homie...
No luck but its amazing how you guys achieve the speeds... Tried the settings but my phone cant handle the pressure lol...Im gonna stick with this kernel tho... My bad for posting this thread in the wrong section its a rookie mistake...

It worked i only needed to do a full wipe, thanx homie...
By the way Sparksco i got your setup on my rom, fully functional overclocked at the max with no feezes, thanx homie...
YOU'RE USING THE WRONG GOVERNOR MIN/MAX SETTINGS
For example:
IF I want to get 2ghz out of my phone I use the performance governor and use min/max of 2ghz.
OR:
I would use:
Gov: Smartass
Min CPU: 300mhz
Max CPU: 1.5ghz
You would freeze too if you were a CPU constantly going from 100mhz to 2000mhz all the time!

Smartass2 was made for the HTC Sensation which is a dual core gsm phone much like the Evo 3D (but cdma instead). I could never get it to clock passed 1.4ghz so I don't think it likes our phones much. It's a great concept but the normal old smartass still works much better for the shift.

FWIW I am hitting 2.0Ghz with no lockups or anything. I previously had been using ScaryStable for a while and anything past 1.6Ghz would lock right up nearly immediately.

Again, it depends on the governor and the min cpu. I ran scary stable at 1.9ghz for 24 hours+ straight, no lockups.
for the heck of it I ran it @ the min of like 1something hz for the low and 2.0 max just to see how it ran, and it was solid.

I understand but say you ran scary at min 100mhz and max 1.9ghz with a gov of ondemand, that would freeze for sure on any phone.

I think what he's saying is that he ran this kernel (pershoot v14) with a low min and a high max and it ran fine.

Yes you can use Tegrak Overclock (Ultimate) from the market, works on stock kernels
But be very carefull with your voltages, you are warned!
Do you maybe have good settings for the program?
is it possible to underclock to?
Can i leave the voltage standart and only set the cpu to 1.5 or 1.6
Thank you

You might want to look in the kernel threads (FM kernel, Abyss, etc) in development, there is enough info concerning your question, and yes you can underclock with tegrak.
With tegrak you can use any cpu speed you want, is not fixed to a few settings.

I think i wait with overclocking, its fast enough but sometimes its fun to tweak, but its to mutch risk i think, so after i downloaded the app and set it to 1.5, i did set it to default via the app and removed it

One useful thing to do is underclock and undervolt. This phone works perfectl in 1.0ghz with -50 voltage on all clocks and a maximum of 500mnz with screen off, and itll save u a lot of battery.

What voltage are you using?
i want to overclock but when i read the message be carefull with the voltage it scared me a bit, dont want to destroy it so fast haha.
is it faster on 1.5 or almost not?
@viamonte: do you mean underclocking the slowest cpu speed when it is in deep sleep?

I have mine now on standart 1.4, when i think its to slow then i wil overclock it to 1.6 or flash a custom rom and overclock it to 1.7.
Does somebody now what the speed is from the gpu?

i've set my cpu to 1.6 and didn't touch the voltages, i left it at 1250mv and 1100mv for core and internal voltages respectively. been on this setting for 2 days now and i haven't had any problems so far. but i was wondering with that cpu frequency is it possible to undervolt?

Because you can?
Why wouldn't you?
My PC is a 2.66Ghz which has been running at 4.0Ghz since day 1. Like I said, if more power is available at no risk, and absolutely no extra cost, then the question isn't why, the question is WHY NOT?

True! My PC is a Core i7 2600k 3.4GHz which has has been overclocked to 4.7GHz.

Hey Iv been searching for the last couple days and I can't find an answer to my question..:/
Okay, I have a nexus 7 (duh) with motley kernel #246 and I want to oc my GPU but I can't find an app to do it with.. So I'm asking if anyone knows of a free app that will let me control the MHz (and maybe voltage) of my GPU? Or if there isn't an app like that, how would i go about changing said amounts? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Hi! Download Trickster Mod on Google play and there you need to have root access and you can over clock your GPU. I over clocked mine to 520 as it is the stable so far and I got a fps bump of 3-4fps up! Click the Thank you button if I helped ya buddy.

After you download the app, go all the way to the right where it says "SPECIFIC" and there you can change a lot of control including over clocking the GPU.

Rgrds,

Thank you solo much!!! I'm glad I signed up for this forum! This is the fastest I have received a reply on any kind of forum! Thank you again!
Am i supposed to turn off "GPU 3d scaling" and that will make it oc? Because I do not see anything else pertaining to the GPU.
And yes I am rooted.
You can't overclock the gpu on motley's kernel. Try m-kernel or faux's kernel. Not all kernels have gpu overclocking.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I do believe motley's supports up to 446mhz for the gpu, at least that's what his post says...
Franco.Kernel is an excellent option for overclocking the GPU. His kernel app let's you set whatever frequency you want to overclock the GPU at (I think up to 700 mhz). The downside is that there's no CPU overclocking supported.
solved!
Thank you all for helping, I just read a new post (it was posted after I posted this) somewhere else and found out that motley's GPU is set at an overclocked 446mhz and can not be changed
Just use Trinity Kernel or M-Kernel if you want to over clock your GPU over 446mhz. I'm using M-Kernel and I able to overclock mine up to 600mhz while the voltage is set to 1280 and stable so far. Please Click the Thank you button if I helped you.

right above you(not above your head silly). i thanked him for you
BTW, about the GPU scaling just set it to on to increase your battery life. Go to GPU max frequency and change the clock number to whatever you like as long is the kernel supports it then try to decrease every voltage to -5mV for example if a voltage is set to 1200, change it to 1195 in other words, to undervolt to increase more battery life while gaining good enough overall performance. I suggest you download M-Kernels build which is a28. About the thank you button, I think just click my name then find the thank you button there. I forgot how to do it on desktop as I use my xda app to check out forums and I just click on a post then tap the thank you button. Anyways, just keep on posting on this if u want more help. it's my pleasure man

Another noob here.
So, to overclock you have to get another kernel (as opposed to editing a config file somewhere)?
And recent posts in this thread discuss overclocking the GPU. Is also possible to overclock the main CPU? In what circumstances would you choose to overclock one versus the other?

In order to over clock both CPU and GPU, you need to choose a kernel that both supports it. An example is, M-Kernel which is performance oriented. And Bricked Kernel. Install the kernel you preferred via CWM, Then just download trickstermod on Google play to change the frequencies.

Trickster mod hands down. I use it for all my devices without any problems.
Since it became free i decided to give it a spin.
I am limited to medium graphics.
I read that you could get high graphics on stock kernel + stock rom, but i dont want to have stock rom.
Im running PA 3.99 + hells-core kernel.
Is it one of these factors that is limiting me to select only medium?:
Also, i can ONLY select medium, not low or very low...
Thanks
Hells core under clocks your CPU. So the game thinks you have a lower end phone. So PA with the built in kernel should be fine.

So i must reflash PA to get the PA kernel back right?
But i like hells-core amazing battery.
Is there no other kernel that can help me?
Or can i OC or clock it back to stock speed? what app can i use for this?
