mine is fixed at 1.4GHz

Mine fixed at 1.5, governor InteractiveX

1.3ghz, won't go any higher, don't plan on getting a new phone for another year so I don't want the cpu to **** up right now.

Can someone tell me the differences between the different governors and I/O scheduler? I am running 1.4ghz with ondemand nowadays

CPU scaling governors controls the CPU clock speed according to CPU load, based on the governor you are using. In setCPU there is a site that explains the various governors.
I/o schedulers controls the resources given to processes. Don't know too much about that.
Correct me if I'm wrong

Mines at 1ghz at all times until i play a snes/genesis emu then i put it to 1.9ghz, it's the only 100mhz step that stops the crackling sounds, and it can go to 2ghz stable but no point in stressing it past 1.9ghz

Mine is running at original 1Ghz and I don't feel the need to overclock at all. When playing FPse and Snes9x the games run very well anyway. I don't get any crackling sound unless I play in an area with bad reception so it searches network all the time.

doesn't anyone else get crackling sound in SNESDroid, GENPlusDroid?
there the only two old snes/gen emu's that give 100% graphical/sound reproduction but need a lot of cpu/gpu
All the other emu's give me crappy sound/glitches in secret of evermore, and the water in chemical plant in sonic 2 is missing sooo..

Have you tried Snes9x? SNESdroid is based on Snes9x and is a bad rippoff. Snes9x is like the true Snes9x that is available for PC and has better sound/emulation than SNESdroid. Besides, you paid for SNESdroid right? The author of that app illegally took money for that emulator as its based on open-source. That's a reason why it was pulled of the market.
You can find Snes9x on explusalpha.com

DL Secret of evermore and go to the menu/enter name and listen to how bad that sounds, now play it with SNESDroid
Hear the difference?

The droid emulators are slower because they have more accurate emulation not because its a worse emulator, it even has things like shader support. Plus most of that devs emus are open source which is awesome! If you want them for free just compile them yourself.

Never played that game. I'm sure this can be applied between other games vice versa. In my experience though all games I play runs as well or better in Snes9x. Never stumbled upon a game so far that for me sounds bad or bugs in graphics.
Another thing with that emulator that I love is that you can turn off linear filtering for the graphics so the pixels are intact without blurring the heck out of them. Only that feature alone is worth a lot for me.
But personal taste is like the ass. It's divided =)

Yeah. I apologize.
I'm curious. Our phones go as high as 2Ghz? Sounds insane. Doesn't it kill the battery?
My Play at 1Ghz feels a lot faster than my HTC Z did when it was clocked to 1.2Ghz.
Quadrant score on my Z was 2500. On my Play it is around 1300 unclocked. Which leads me to believe the Quadrant scores are pretty much useless for comparison as my Z needed over 1Ghz for games to run smooth while they run perfectly smooth on my Play at 1Ghz.

I suppose it's different architectures of arm cpu's and different instruction sets that makes a game/program run faster on one but not the other.
And i wouldnt trust quadrant to save my life, i get 1600 to 1800 underclocked and 2500 to 2900 overclocked to 1.9GHz then 2500 below for 2GHz so i dont know.
Also battery life is quite bad at 1.9ghz but runs out significantly slower on 1.7ghz

Hi,
fast and stable at 1.6Ghz using performance governor on default use. 122Mhz powersave on idle, and original 1.0Ghz ondemand for calls

1.2ghz on demand here but I can go to 2ghz.

Sitting solid at 1.4 ghz smartass v2 governor 122 mhz idle

Adreno 200 GPU Overclock

Hi, I have a question!
I'm absolutely happy with my HD2 but I'd like something that the performance increases.
Is there a possibility to overclock the GPU? Cpu is yes to either 1.2 GHz or 1.5 GHz but the power play in is not very noticeable so I would appreciate if you could overclock the gpu order to get more performance out there.!
know her as a possibility?
would answer me happy!

there is an app on the market that allows for GPU overclocking , i didnt use it personally just search overclock in the market and look at the different results . I have no problem with the performance of CPU overclocking , i always thought the CPU was the one in charge of graphics rendering .

Isn't it SOC? As you overclock cpu gpu is overclocked also?

Good point . But couldn't that lead to more problems ? Too high of gpu could cause failure in stability but the CPU can handle the high oc ?

GPU overclock kernel for ICS

If the SGX540 in P1000 can be overclocked to 370MHz, the performance of it can be highly improved like in Overcome Kernel.
(Can be showed in Quadrant Standard Edition. When it is in 370 MHz, the fps in the graphic animation of DNA can be promoted to 60fps. And got no lagging in anything. The speed(smoothness is nearly reached S2 which is official 2.3.6)
But however, it doesn't seem that any ICS supporting kernel can set the clock of GPU.
I am sorry that my English is not good enough to represent my idea, but I hope you can get what I am talking about.
And the most reason I want it to be real is that the potential of P1000 is quite big and in fact it is quite good!
PS Antutu SetCPU app can set GPU clock in Overcome Kernel.

Dang, I never knew that our GPU can be overclocked ^^
since this tab is getting old, maybe its time to overclock the gpu also?
Personally I'm agree with this

Probs a little off topic, (also to bump this up a bit)
But the Gnex which uses the same GPU can be overclocked to 512Mhz (Stock is 300 something I think), improvement seems noticeable in apps and in nenamark, you go from 27-28ish FPS to 31-32.
It would really help the tab, it seems to show age now (which makes me lust over a 7.7......)

What I knew is the potential of SGX540 in GNexus and GT are different.
GT one is 200MHz and GNexus one is 374MHz.
In Overcome Kernel w/ GT, the clock of SGX540 can be set to 370~38X Mhz w/ no crush but when it is 400MHz , the machine is seemed to be lagged.
The benchmark in Overcome 4.1 plus Overcome Kernel 4.0 can be promoted over the GT 7.7 (of course the mark doesn't represent the real using experience but let's just look at the 3D mark)

Haha, yea I know they have different potentials Just that I thought I'd let you guys know how much better overclocking the GPU would be.
I think its worth it, there is little impact on battery life, but the improvements in apps and usage are noticeable.

I think the battery usage for extra cost of GPU is not as high as CPU.
It is being a great difference if we compared the overclocking for either CPU and GPU.
The consumption of GPU is low and it won't make the device hot as CPU overclocking.
And the temperature can keep around 35 to 36 degree Celsius under a room temperature 20 Degree Celsius.
The result screenshot I have posted is undergoing CPU overclocked (1.4GHz) plus GPU overclocked(370MHz) w/ overcome kernel and rom.

Success!!!

Hello, i have been trying to implement LiveOC into humberos's kernel and it is a success
LiveOC
This allows us to modify the bus speed which increase both the cpu and gpu clock at the same time using an app called NStools
i have only been using this for a day now and it seems to be working very well
please report back any bugs thank you,
BTW i will post the settings i have used in NStools and this kernel is for the latest MTD build
Link: http://www.4shared.com/file/216rF_WJ/boot.html?
My settings:
Governor: smartassV2
min CPU freq: 200MHz (240MHz after applying OC Value)
Max CPU freq: 1000MHz (1200MHz after applying OC Value)
OC target low: 200MHz
OC target high: 1000MHz
OC Value: 120%

I'll give that a try when I get home (or maybe a few days later). So which ICS rom did you try this on?
EDIT: In terms of quadrant (which I know can be a bit volatile... but a nice way/quick way to see differences), ICS gets a lower mem score :< 3d is slightly lower, 2d is about double (I suspect thats forcing 2d rendering). This is comparing the gtab score in quadrant, I haven't used GB on my tab for a longgg time...)

thanks for the information
as a newbie, i just thought another aokp by stimpz0r is identical
there is a strange point which is the fc of the camera while the shutter sound is closed, but it works while enabling the shutter sound
It is a great rom and thank you for your great work

Extweaks settings performance for games

I was just wondering what extweaks settings would be the best for playing high demand 3d games..
overclock processor to maybe 1.4ghz..
and how do u guys adjust your gpu settings..? i mean different steps..and step thresholds as well as the gpu step counts..
also what governer do u use ?
do share please
thanks

What about your games performance? You have @ low framerate?

gpu 133-200-267 MHz with 800/900/950 mV. OC to 1300, if more - hello big freezes. governor performance for games. ARCH_POWER turned on, hotplug - dual core always on.

Well that gives nearly the same gaming performance as SGS3
2-4FPS less, but who cares

with 800-1500 and 400mhz gpu my gta3 start to freeze when I turn it

Change your GPU voltage into 1100 mV
And use 1400 MHz instead of higher ones

lol that is quite extreme..but will give it a try..
Anyway my main concerns are some tiny stutters and lags in normal games
And some massive fps drops in demanding and open world games like gta3, gangstar rio city, backstab etc..

Well I've never had to OVERCLOCK to get more performance from my phone. The GPU is more than enough to handle whats out there and don't see the need to turn up the juice. 9/10 if the game lags its due to the kernel or the rom. 1.4ghz on the cpu and 400mhz on the gpu + are unnecessary IMO.

Yup i know..for most apps and day to day life..it runs everything fine enough..
However i do see some lags and fps drops in demanding games..please i am not talking bout the temple run-angry birds type of games..
Thats why waned to know few settings being used by users to increase some fps and use my device to maximum potential..
Also any one has any idea bout a really stable rom-kernel combo that performs really good with 3d games..? I have heard the roms like CM9/RR etc give bad 3d performance(even though they are quite faster!!)
thanks

S3 odd finding or placebo?

So, trying to improve my battery life I set my CPU to dual core, and for some strange reason, everything runs smoother now, from the interface to games.
Specially Contract Killers 2 and Dark Knight Rises. This games were a pain to play since I kept getting terrible stutter and lag and could only get good steady smooth performance overclocked which pretty much beats the whole quadcore CPU on the S3 if my gf stock S2 can run all this better than my S3.
I'm running Wanamlite Jellybean deodexed DLJ2 rooted with Siyah Kernel. At the moment not overclocked.
Only reason I can come up with is that most apps are optimized for dualcore CPU's since quadcore is not yet the standard.
Has anyone experience something similar to this or wants to try this out?
BTW, battery life hasn't improved much.
Samsung sure made a coding mess with Jelly Bean.

How did you set the device to dual-core ?

Stweaks when your running Siyah kernel.
Also you can remove lag from some games if you go to developer options and check "force GPU rendering"

I have been running Dual-Core mode as well for 2 weeks now, as far as I can see it's just as smooth as Quad Core mode. At least in the following:
-General UI (homescreen, scrolling trough settings)
-Whatsapp, Facebook, Other apps
-Simple games like Jetpack Joyride
I haven't tested heavy games though. Reptide GP is smooth, that's kind off a heavy game.
Battery wise I haven't noticed any big difference either between dual and quad core mode. But neither performance wise, which is weird since it makes the quad core processor seem useless.
Stock CPU & GPU frequency's, undervolted CPU -100mV and GPU -50mV.
