Ive been getting smoother results underclocking the G2 at either 1.7 or 1.9 and knock on seems more quick to response, but when I tried video recording the 60 fps isn't smooth when you are clocked at the regular speed.. beware...I ran a benchmark on quadrant standard and got 17,250 constantly so it is underclocked per core... I want to hear your opinion on this and do you plan to underclock or already are. I feel like the ability to be more smooth within the UI helps a lot more now..let me know your thoughts!

From using trickster mod and setcpu to underclock they only underclock cpu0 the other three still use the full frequency range.

At 1.9 my Antutu was the same add the One and oddly the graphics test dropped 15-20 frames even though we are not under clocking the GPU.

You're saying that by underclocking, you're getting a smoother UI but lower benchmarks?
No i got a higher benchmark than the guy who replied on my post. I did get a smoother UI and everything is less laggy. Ill post a pic of 2.3ghz idk if its actually at 1.7ghz or 2.3ghz ill do another test

I am tending to believe that the regular clock speed is actually overclocked...just like how the galaxy s4 is overclocked 200mhz more than normal...however I could be wrong..
If you really want to see if this odd issue is actually happening download an app called Multicore CPU Control (the only app of its kind that seems to work with the LG G2). I use this to save battery by turning off all but one core, but it allows you full control over all your cores.
Download it, create a profile, and set each core to what you want. I had to save the profile first, then go back in to edit the latter 3 cores' frequencies.
I would suggest setting the min and max to the same and choosing Performance for the governor. Use a different app to set the scheduler.
Be sure to have something like Kernel Tuner to ensure that all your cores are running as you intended. If not, go back into Multicore CPU Control and re-save your profile again.
Would love to hear the results afterwards!
I used Multicore CPU Control.
The only way to set clock to CPU 1,2,3 is let them always active. If I leave dynamic for these cores, they still go up to 2,26 GHZ. I think this the reason why HeXaLox have a little decrement when underclock because it only did for one core.

Make a video and put it on Youtube i want to see this if i UV as well it also decreases performance but gains battery life.
Not that I've tried it... but we all know the Epic is more than twice as fast as some devices that run Android. In that case, how would running it at 40% speed make it unusable?

Umm no thats wrong.
HTC EVO Shift 4G can be over-clocked to 1.9GHz from a stock 800 MHz: 110% OC
HTC Rezound can be overclocked to 1.99GHz from a stock 1.5GHz: 49-50% OC
Moto Droid X can be overclocked to 2GHz from a stock 1GHz: 100% OC
Theres plenty the Samsung Epic only has technically a 30% overclock and virtually a 50% overclock
But theres plenty of other phones with more over-clockability

Well because our phones are 1.2GHz Stock but they lowered to 1GHz because that was the margin in 2010 for high end devices but they Under Clocked to save some battery. So technically we only came up with a 30% OC (1500MHz).

That will not show us how it performs I.E Lag. That will scroll smoothly and will stutter. running 400Mhz on max is still to low for no lag at all.

So I was trying to mess around with CPU profiles and I noticed that the low end of the CPU is clocked at 1GHz. If I lower it with Rom Toolbox, it just goes right back up after I leave the menu. the profiles won't stick, governors don't make a difference, and I'm a little confused.
Can someone shed some light on this for me?
I thought the lowest speed was 384 MHz? Install CPU Spy and check what it says.
It is 384MHz. The lower frequency change because of project butter that make the cpu run at a higher frequency when you touch the screen.

Is this somewhat similar to perflocker in HTC devices? It had to be disabled to change any cpu settings AT ALL with the stock kernel.

You're right. I guess it just has its own profile to set at 1GHz when the screen is on, because the CPU Spy showed it in Deep Sleep/384Mhz for the majority of the night.

Hey guys, touch booster is really annoying on this phone. It pushes the phone to 1.06GHz everytime I touch it, and is starting to bug me.
Is there anyway to keep it scaling up properly?
I'm no expert at this stuff, but isn't this fast jump in CPU clock what pretty much makes Project Butter possible?
If I understand right (and I probably don't), I think this might have to do with with governor in-use. If your rooted; try using a different governor and then touching the screen.
Great, so now people are complaining about Project Butter's features... ok
How exactly does something like this bug you?

The CPU goes up when you touch it so it can be responsive and quick to your inputs. How is this so annoying?
If you root it you can lower the max or change the governor buy chances are you will lose much of your responsiveness.
I understand that it is good for us to discuss issues and problems but some of the things I am seeing here are just really nit picking and complaining about things that are not bad at all. We are a spoiled society of humans, some more than others i guess.

What I find interesting is on the nexus 4 the governor is on demand , and the scaling range is 0mhz- 1026mhz ( you can check using CPU spy +)
However on the nexus 10 , the governor is interactive and the scaling range is 0mhz -200mhz

Can my GPU burn or something like that?Or high GPU frequency will cause only reboot?
I've read that the max recommended GPU speed is 484.Going much higher the battery will drain too much and will get hot. If you set the speed to high it will become unstable and usually reboot. It will reboot and rest default speeds long before it will have time to melt. Just don't use your over clock settings to be set on boot

1. easiest way, use the trinity kernel toolbox and adjust the gpu slider up or down.
2. or manually go to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_oc/ with a root file explorer(like root explorer) and manually edit the variable and save it.
yes, it can get very hot if overclocking the gpu. especially when playing cpu intensive games. worst thing is youll reboot if things go haywire.
Excessive voltage and heat can easily fry a CPU/GPU and other motherboard components, so be careful.

Well, in technical terms it *should* give you better battery life because it's reducing stress on a main hardware component so it doesn't have to work as hard (the harder it works, the more battery it takes). Same thing with the screen; the lower the brightness, the better the battery.

Wouldn't it have to work harder for longer because it can't do anything as fast? It isn't like if you set the GPU clock to 487mhz it runs at 487mhz all the time, so ramping up to 487mhz would allow it to finish whatever it is doing faster wouldn't it?

Well I would like to add that the 540 sgx can power the 720P in the Galaxy Nexus... That dino is significantly weaker than the Adreno 320 even over clocked. I run 128 only and it works fine for games and even HD videos(YouTube). To confirm I tried Most wanted, dead trigger, temple run, riptide,etc and there weren't any issues(also toggled vSync). And if you use benchmarks like Epic cidel or antutu you'll see the frames are still pretty high.
So I'll say that 128 or even 200mhz is sufficient for this GPU and most purposes. However a good I/o scheduler and governor are still recommended.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I think another advantage if it runs what you want at a good frame rate is less heat.
