Hi, im having some problems with overclocking my phone.
Im using doixanh guide called "[Module] X8Overclock | v004 - Multiple freq | X8 | X10 mini | X10 mini pro | 11-04-11".
when I add the code
Code:
"insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko # x8 overclock"
in the file hw_config.sh and then push it back in the phone and then restart it, the phone is overclocked 110 MHz. And when i put
Code:
# x8 overclock
insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko
sleep 2
echo xAB > /proc/x8oc
the MHz wont change even if i write "echo x27/28 and higher. He wrote in his guide that u can change the freq. from 614MHz to 826MHz but it wont work for me, so how do i get it to work. Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english!
in v004, change frequency with setcpu or similar. enable "set on boot" option and remove echo xAB line. it should work that way.
also, you might want to insmod in chargemon instead of hw_config because it's executed at beginning of boot sequence.

You should also be able to set the CPU min/man frequencies and governor at the CM Performance settings menu.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but i didnt wanna start another about X8 OC. nobodyAtall posted this in the miniCM thread. Set Cpu worked for me but I dont see anything when i open the min/max freq in CM Performance settings. Just the "cancel" and nothing else. Just like before the X8oc.ko push
try to download the newest x8oc.ko do as the instruction. install setcpu and reboot. i do it in MiniCM and now i apply it on stock ROM. it works. setcpu shows that i have max freq : 825,6 MHZ and Min Freq : 122,88 Mhz. i run ae 748 (ondemand) and still good in stock ROM.
Hi All
Have installed Kuro kernel (twice) using CWM, but when I look in No-Frills CPU Control the only frequencies I get are 312 and 832 (no 156), and the only Governors are bcm21553 and performance (no conservative).
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Read the first post of kuro kernel thread... it says only 3 frequencies ..
And next time post ur qns in q and a section
Thanks for the guidance re Q&A section - would move this thread if I could.
I have read the first page of Kuro's kernel thread, as well as many other pages, and was following this guide here.
This is how I know there should be 3 frequencies. As clearly stated in my OP I only have 2. 156 is not there.
I should also be seeing a "conservative" governor listed, but am not.

There should be three frequencies 312, 624 and 832...
and kurotusugi has rename the three governers to:
powercats = lazy --> performance
blackcats = smartassv2 --> balanced setting
activecats = intellidemand --> battery saver

Thanks, but I know there are supposed to be 3 frequencies, and other governors.
I have already stated that I have only 2 frequencies (312 and 832), and 2 governors ("bcm21553" and "performance") visible in No-Frills CPU Control. This is the problem.

i think u flashed it incorrectly.plz mount system in cwm then flash kuro kernel.
Samir thanks - but I don't have an option to mount system in cwm. I only have an unmount option, which I assume means the system is automatically mounted...

yes.. if there's an unmount option , then its mounted... which kernel u were on before flashing kuro kernel... had u used any scripts in init.d folder ?
It was / is all stock. The phone has never been flashed with anything until now.
Solved - Taking a cue from Samir about mounting the system, I unmounted everything in CWM and remounted, then reflashed and now I'm seeing all freqs and governors.
Thanks to Samir and Amit for your help.
Here's a custom kernel for you all to try out. It should work with any CM10.1 (some nightlies, but not all), CM10 or CM9 ROM that loads from moboot with uImage.CyanogenMod (if you don't understand what this means, don't use it). Pick your specific ROM. Not tested with all ROM's, so YMMV.
Here's a few facts:
Compiled with Linaro 4.7 toolchain
Complete with jcsullins patches for low power demand, wifi sleep, etc.
Complete with _Dorregaray's_ camera hooks
Improved entropy depletion routines speed file reads
Optimized AES and SHA1 encryption routines speed boot up and file decryption
Overclockable to 2157MHz if your ROM allows frequency settings
Level 2 frequency OC to 1914MHz
Stepped 2D & 3D GPU up to 320Mhz
Additional governors and schedulers
Use Kernel Tuner for tuneable parameters in the kernel
READ HERE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT GOVERNORS AND SCHEDULERS: Guide Link
Instructions: Download and flash the ROM version you currently have installed. No system/full wipes or cache clearing required.

Just installed it. Running SGA's 03/08 cm10 unofficial. Everything running well.
Should you note that is this for CM10 or CM9? Does it work on both? I would be very surprised if you say yes!
Does it have the GPU O/C?

I flashed it a couple hours ago over SGA's latest JB ROM. And I can't get the clock to steady step over ~1.89GHz on any governor. And the performance at 1.89GHz is worse than 1.78 as per my Antutu scores. I tried using the built in CM CPU settings, SetCPU and System Tuner and the situation is about the same.
There are times when it looks like I got the CPU to step up to 2.1GHz but when it's actually stuck at 1.188GHz.
So the setting are there but they're unusable. Any suggestions?

FWIW, I'm running the latest CM9 nightly and after I flash this kernel my Touchpad gets stuck on a black screen after the second boot splash image. The bootanimation would never start. I would have to hard reboot into moboot then flash a different kernel to get the TP to boot.

1. Have you tried setting to the performance governor? I had the same problem when I set to 2.157 GHz it didn't actually go above 1.836 GHz.
2. Also try rebooting and then try to set it again. Try using No Frills CPU Control.
3. Overclocking above 1.782 GHz doesn't seem to present any HUGE benefits right now. It will drastically lower your battery life.
4. Benchmarks don't really equate to real life performance.

1. I've tried every CPU speed above 1.782GHz in performance. And tried multiple of different speeds on interactive and ondemand. If I set it to anything over 1.782GHz it would get stuck 1.188GHz. Basically, CPU stepping is broken above 1.782GHz.
2. I've rebooted between all runs with different CPU apps. I don't know about No Frill CPU Control, but how would it be any different from the apps I've already used or the built in CM CPU control settings. I will try it out in a bit but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't really change anything.
3. Attempting to overclock over 1.782GHz seems to make the device slower in general.
4. Sure, benchmarks don't equal real world performance, but we're talking about less than half the score. Also, the entire device was just less responsive in general.
I set mine to 1.512 (which is the tp's true capacity), and 384, to deal with sod. I use the unofficial cm10, 03/08.Works well, so far.....

1.5GHz is the TouchPad's true 'factory maximum CPU clock speed'. Who knows what its "true capacity" is. Many devices with very good SoCs have an overclock threshold of about 30-50% and it may get even higher and more stable with proper voltage controls. Right now we only have about a 20% overclock at 1.78GHz so the device should be able to handle a little more stress than we're giving it.
Re: [KERNEL][2.6.35] 2157MHZ Overclocked Touchpad CM Kernel
I flashed this kernel with cm9 but it doesn't mount the sdcard partition. Is there a fix? I really want to use the low power draw fix!

I used an updater script for CM10 that mounts the sdcard as sdcardd0. I should be able to put together a flushable zip that doesn't for CM9 users.

Thanks so much for all your work, and for thinking of those of us still on CM9.
Is there an easy flashable (or pushable) implementation for the lower power draw, that could be applied by us to the nightly builds? Last I heard, the fix was not yet added to the nightlies.

Extract the boot.img from jcsullins zip. Take the latest nightly and unzip (when it asks to replace the terminfo stuff, select "no" or "no to all"). Delete the boot.img file in the unzipped nightly. Copy the jcsullins boot.img in its place (you can try copying mine if you want, but it may not boot). Rezip the files and flash.

Ahh, so essentially a kernel swap? I was unaware the power fixes were solely located here.
Thanks, will try.

I heard that a touchpad with a good SoC could OC to 2.4 Ghz if we had a proper kernel.
[UPDATE]New Upload
I've uploaded a kernel with CPU overclock to 2157MHz and GPU overclocked at 320MHz. Enjoy.
this was many months ago but i seem to recall that -sga- mentioned he saw no performance gains past a certain point. i think it was 1.7ghz but since it was a while back i don't really recall the exact number. or maybe he said diminishing returns past a certain point.
edit: i found his post about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33883333&postcount=53
maybe he was talking about the ability to o/c past 1.7 was more difficult and not in regards to the performance gains?
HAH!
Flashed this!

Hey,
Is there anyway to get my cpu settings to stick? Im trying to get readahead cache to stick to 2048kb, min cpu to 486 and change the governor to deadline. Ive tried multiple kernal/cpu apps and enabled the set on boot toggle but every boot i have to manually change them again.
Latest goldeneye lolipop rom with safestrap.
Really sorry for the bump guys, 50 views and no replies but I think this affects alot of users on touchwiz roms
Maybe theres an init.d script that can do this? Apply the values on boot cause with a Kernal tuner app I can change the settings, and they work fine - until I reboot.
Then I have to manually change the values again.
There has to be way Im just not knowledgable enough to know a work around. Bootloader is locked so can't change the kernal so im using the stock OC3 kernal on lolipop..
What I really care about is setting the readahead cache to 2048 and changing the governor to deadline instead of the stock cfq. Those are the only two values Id like to be set on boot!
