Desire HD and SetCPU

Is there anyway to make setcpu works with my desire hd?
Visionary is working perfectly but I think perflock is blocking the speeds control. If I try to stop it with the menu command it gives me an error message.
Please If you find any solution post it... I'd like to save some Battery limiting the cpu frequencies

Is it temporary, as you used Visionary?

Since the update setcpu works perfectly with visionary. We DHD users can now disable perflock and control cpu frequency. Life is good.
If you set visionary to root your DHD on boot then you don't have any issues with things being "temporary". Well technically they are but you won't notice.

Have all installed on mine but i cant find a way to go above stock speed, is there a way to do this ?

What cpu frequency's are you setting in place to gain 30% more battery life?

Hi.
To use setcpu on the desire hd you should first root it with Visionary (set it to run on boot). Then you can dowload the app and launch it. When it has the root permission you should press the menu button on the main screen and use PERFLOCK disable. (set it ti run on boot too).
When perflock is disable setcpu take control of the clock speed.
My settings are:
When screen is off, speed is set to 245min-245max. this will grant you lot of spare juice from battery, only con is the 3 or 4 second lag when you turn the screen on. It needs some moments to put speed back to 1024. Not big deal if you get use to it.
Then when battery is under 50% I set it to 245min-768max. this will reduce the power need of the beast of a little 10%, means like 1,5h more standby time.
When power is under 20% I reduce the speed again to 245min-368max. In this config the phone react like my oldtime beloved hero...
I do not use the htc battery saving.
Hope it helps!

You can not Overclock the stock Kernel.

Thank you for the post Endr1, quite interesting.

I can use SetCPU, I can manage profiles, but I cannot OC the device beyond the 1024 MHz

I have tried several CPU frequencies with SetCPU (very nice and simple tool, love it!) and noticed that overclocking the Desire HD to 1459MHz seems to be ideal. With higher OC speeds I do not get better performance (if I may believe Quandrant standard benchmarking tool).
I have LordMod kernel + CoreDroid v9.2 running.
Here you can see benchmark before OC

Benchmarks have been run a few times to check if correct, and each time the score was around this so I consider it trusthworthy.

hello, what "governors" do you choose?

G2 benchmark... numbers sucked!

Just flashed enoms g2 rom and I cleared up what I can, tried making it efficient.I ran some benchmark tests on quadrant standard and was kinda disappointed in the numbers. My bests score was low 1100 after that it was 850,900, 835... very basic stuff any suggestions???

If you ran the benchmark on battery power, try plugging the phone in. Sometimes the CPU will underclock itself to save power. If that doesn't work, download SetCPU (google it) and make sure that the max speed is set above 800 MHz.

On the stock G2 ROM I was getting 1600-1800... maybe it's the ROM your using

Yeah this is the typical range for a stock G2.
Those scores in the OP are so low, its almost like hes underclocking or something. Or possibly a running application using a ton of resources?

i got 2064. but i was running virtuous.

im running enom's rom and i had it underclocked at 768 and i was still able to get 1609

Umm... No... The CPU doesn't underclock to save power...

Perhaps the kernel has an undervolting profile built in and it's triggered by a < battery percentage?

What should I have my phone clocked at with enoms rom?? I dnt have much running at all I dnt understand why its so slow, I was gunna flash the latest kernal and try that... clock settings please anyone
Edit: jus tweaked my clock on spareparts. I switched cpu governor from ondemand to performance and the clock setting. I put underclock at the lowest and overclock at the max highest... benchmark test put up a 2200... I feel as if this will drain battery like crazy only time will tell... what do u think, should I drop the overclock? Is it safe at that high number???

If I run with Flippy's kernel, CM 6.1.1 Stable and OC my phone to 1.8 GHz, I can get a Quadrant score of 3037 (screenshot below). With it OC'd to 1.4 GHz (my normal OC setting) I can get around 2500.

If I'm averging 2500 I'm fine wit that my current settings are Enoms Rom
Using enoms cpu controls
Cpu governor: performance
Max frequency: 1,516,800
Min frequency 245,760
I dropped 3 percent in battery writing this message.... my main concern is battery and overworking the cpu.... I'm thinking about downloading set cpu and clocking the performance settings then set it for power save after a certain drop point........ does this sound logical?

When you set your cpu to performance it means your cpu will stay at max all the time and it never goes down which is why you are getting bad battery life.
There is no need for that.
Yes you can do that with setcpu

Maybe you tested your Samsung Galaxy s by mistake?..lol..just joking.

I score around 2500 on quadrant:
OC'd to 1.4 (normally run 1.2)

Hey! Not funny! My vibrant gets 2035 in the quadrant! But I'm going to get myself a g2 because I miss the hardware keyboard

[Q] OC/UV Beater2v1.7 makes my phone unstable with default values, help!

Ok I need to narrow down if I'm doing something wrong, or if my phone is actually faulty.
I have the latest Virtuous Affinity Rom, and installed OC/UV Beater, and I cannot seem to find a stable setting, and after using the VDD/OC reset .zip's that are supposed to reset everything to normal, I still have the issues.
I'm new to the whole OC the phone thing, can someone tell me if my voltages are far off what they should be for my phone.
ALSO could anyone supply me with their virgin (or stable working) files from their MT4G found in the sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ folder so I can double check mine?
It seems below the 537600mhz is where I'm unstable. I stress tested 3 freq at a time and went down the list, that's where I would get the issues.
My OC settings in OC/UV Beater are:
Wake Gov: ondemand
Wake Min: 122000
Wake Max: 1459200
Sleep Gov: conservative
Sleep Min: 122000
Sleep Max: 460800
VDD:

I can think of 2 things.
1) Your wake min is WAY too low. That alone could be the issue.
2) Try bumping the voltage on higher frequencies up a notch.
Asking us if your voltages are ok is asking us a question we can't answer. Always start with default voltages. If that gives you stability VERY slowly adjust your voltage down a notch at a time, allowing time and testing between each setting. Never set on boot until you're SURE it's stable.

Thanks for that. I understand what you are saying as I have been overclocking my PC for years, however, what I don't understand is why does OC/UV Beater2 seem to not be stable at all stock clocks and voltages when I stress test.
I have now gotten 1.5Ghz through 537600mhz stable, however, I cannot get 460mhz through 122mhz stable at stock volts, but it is stable with the voltage boost I have added. I'm curious to see if maybe my default voltage settings have gotten corrupted or misconfigured, that's why I am looking for someone to fill me in on the stock VDD and Freq for my cpu.
Also looking for advice as to what I have set there is normal voltage for the frequencies there?

Just looked at mine on cm 7.2. Your voltages look a little low across rhe board. Clear the data on oc/uv beater and reflash your kernel.

Awesome, when you get a chance could you give me some screen shots of your voltages or tell me how much more yours are boosted?

Well, I'm on a different ROM now, but maybe this will help you. The voltages on this kernel are pretty low.

[Q] What are the default CPU frequencies and governor?

What is the default CPU min/max frequencies and the governor being used? (on stock kernel)
My guess is that the max is 1512 and min is 384. But I'm really not sure what governor is used by default.
Anyone know?

The default minimum is 1026??? Are you sure? Why would it be set to keep running so high? I heard that it doesn't fall from 1026 to 384 easily until 5-6 seconds have passed...but if 1026 is the minimum..then, smh

Is the default I/O CFQ?

Max - 1512
Min - 384 (CPU Apps don't show it correctly)
Govenor - Ondemand
I/O - Noop

The fact that CPU apps don't show the minimum frequency properly, and the fact that it hangs on 1026 for a few seconds before dropping to 384...do you think that indicates a problem?

I don't know if the minimum is actually 1026 or not but I know for a fact that when you TOUCH the screen, it does ramp up to 1026. So that can be a explanation why battery life isn't as good in reviews.

I remember with my i9300, as soon as you touched the screen, it would ramp up to 800mhz. It has to do with project butter. It does keep everything running smooth, at the cost of battery life.

never heard such of a thing on the galaxy nexus (might of been present but no one ever mentioned it so im not sure how GN reacts to that). first time ive heard of it.
battery life has been nothing but exceptional for me on N4 and GN. didnt notice a difference between 4.1 and 4.0.x for battery life. it stayed the same or slightly gotten better.
i recommend using franco kernel though

I agree completely, battery life has been great. Just letting others know what might be the cause for "bad" battery life from past experiences

Overclock problem

I am running on carbon rom with moltley kernel. I set the max cpu clock at 1674mhz using antutu cpu mastaer. I use cpu spy the watch the cpu frequence, it do can go up to 1674. Then I run my phone with antutu benchmark. the result shows that my cpu frequency is 1512mhz only. and then, I check the cpu spy and cpu master again, the max cpu frequency has underclock to 1512mhz. But why it happens? I have set it to 1674 before, why It will automatically lower down after I run antutu? thx

set it to 1674 max cpu and 1674 minimum cpu, then run antutu and check cpu spy again.

When I set it to 1674 max cpu and 1674 minimum cpu, the frequency cannot lock at 1674, and keep changing the frequency

Check this, even I didn't over clock and didn't touch anything, it down clock to 1296mhz instead of 1512mhz as default
is it the rom problem or kernel problem?

you probably neex to update your busybox. download the free busybox app by stericson from the play store, install it. open it, let it do its thing, press smart install. after, try antutu again, with your cpu speed.

ahhh.. yea, heat throttle will do that. you can turn off heat throttle(or use a kernel that raised the heat throttle temp, like trinity). to turn off heat throttle via terminal emulator..
su(press enter)
echo N > /sys/module/msm_thermal/parameters/enabled(press enter)
to turn it back on, replace the N with a Y.

But the thermal throttle has already set to N before I setting it.
