Second core underclocked

So I just opened up is monitor and happened to go to the processor tab and discovered that the second core was underclocked to 456MHz with the governor set to conservative. Now my xoom is flying. Its great.
Step by step:
Open os monitor (im on tiamat 2.2.2)
Go to misc tab
Tap on more next to CPU
Change it to the settings you want
???
Profit
Let me know if you have any success with this.

Just ran Antutu to do some benches and noticed on my cpu usage bar that only one core was used in the benchmarking process, except for reading/writing to the sdcard which did use both cores.

Good lookin. Ill have to check mine out now

Over night my core got underclocked again. So im thinking its the OS doing this to save battery when it doesn't absolutely need that core.

Thanks on this one, I had no issues and checked quadrant and got a personal high of 3796 I really don't understand why the Xoom gets such a bad rep, I love mine and to this day still able to find new things to learn about it.

I was running Rogue's 1.4.1 kernel and it was underclocking the second core. Now I'm back on Tiamat kernel and it isn't underclocked.
Seems to be kernel specific.

V14 kernel

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?

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...

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.

Don't forget to install setcpu after flashing the rom. My recommendations:
Min 200mhz max 600 for great battery life but slow phone
Min 200 or 300mhz max 800 for average performance
Min 300mhz max 1ghz for good performance and so-so battery life
My phone works stable even on 1.1 and 1.2 ghz but then I get big battery drain.
Another tip: default phone dialer is very slow/laggy. I use exDialer from playstore instead

Battery will drain faster, phone will be warmer. Some CPU's can't handle 1GHz so your phone may lag and you will have to change to a non-oc kernel.

Battery Life/Temp When Running ICS

Recently rooted my phone and have used a number of different ROMs. The ICS ROMs for this phone seem to heat up my battery and drain it quite quickly. GB ROMs don't seem to do that. Is that the nature of ICS for the Glacier?
I'm just wondering what other users' experiences with ICS are.
Thanks.

Its a known issue with ROMs that have the 3.0 kernel. I know that the devs are looking into a solution AFAIK no eta yet.

He said ICS, we don't have any ICS roms with 3.0 kernel (because we would have to re engineer the rom.)
To answer the OP's question, i haven't been on gingerbread for a long time, i don't have a problem with ICS, check your clock speed, your governor and your battery. What rom are you on? And are you sure its not JB?

I was using Glacier_One_V_1.3. Sorry, I'm a noob at the whole kernel/governor thing so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
For now, I ended up switching to Skytouch (the i06 port to myTouch) as my ROM.

So, after doing some research, I downloaded System Tuner and changed the Governor to Smartass V2 with a High Threshold of 1.02Ghz and a low of 245Ghz. I'm going to see if that improves my battery life.

I'm very happy with battery life when I use Synthetic.Nightmare's SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1SG. Is it as good as CyanogenMod 7.1? Hard to say, but possibly not. Haven't noticed anything in terms of heating, though. Newb, so not sure about kernels (except as they relate to linear transformations) but I think I have to be using aosp(x) kernel with that ROM...

My two cents
I am using Glacier_One_V_1.3, very happy with it. waiting for a new kernel about to be released.. and I am sure it'll solve a few issues maybe flickering screen/flipping lock screen and maybe the heating problems. Who knows
Battery life is good for me. yet thinking of getting an alternative battery. Maybe it'll get less hotter.

[Q] nexus 7 gpu overclocking?

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.

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.
