Guys, currently when i try to use ANY custom rom, N or MM... i cant control properly the maximum frequency of the cpu, this happens is ANY rom, i repeat xD
mpdecision / and another hotplugs turned off, but still cant control it.
same with custom kernels, disable hotplug, select maximum frequency about 1200-1400 it works for some seconds, but then it starts to scale down to 800mhz, and stay in the range between 1094mhz and 800 mhz. the device gets laggy as hell, to the point where i cant play poke-go or even other games, and chatting/browsing becomes a terrible expecience.
already tried to turn on "performance mode" on battery menu, and even tried to use hotplugs, but with no sucess.
if any of you had this trouble and managed to fix it, plz help me :crying:
I have this too, it's horrible, it makes the device so much worse

Using late autumm kernel with L speed... You can install it from play store and set it to performance mode
I also face this problem a lot

so im currently running MCK 2.2 rom with the updated kernel but without compcache enabled because i havent been able to get it working yet.
here's the problem though, about once a day my phone will slow down to an unberable speed... just like it used to with the OEM Rom.
when I open up SetCpu (which i know isnt supposed to do anything on the hero) it tells me that my CPU is running at 245mhz, but the control bars in SetCPU are set for 528/480mhz... when i hit refresh the phone comes back up to 528/480 and its fast(er) again...
anybody have any ideas on this one?

I have a similar problem. I experience serious slowdowns (compcache enabled or disabled) about once per day. I have not verified the CPU speed as I'm not using SetCPU. I am using the "performance" governor in MCK.
My typical solution is a reboot.
im just curious if this is the original problem or a new one cause by this rom setup... because I dont ever recall reading anything about the CPU getting stuck at 245mhz from sleep mode being the source the slow downs....
Have you tried disabling the location services to verify it's not that particular bug you're seeing/experiencing?

I look in the kernel and there are two sets of settings: The profiles and a set of setting for the kernel speed (this is split into min/max for screen on and min/max for screen off)
For screen on, it is set for 480000 min/528000 max
For screen off, it is set for 245760 min/245760 max
If the screen is off, it's possible that the kernel went into the lower settings and didn't come back.
I've heard different reports on whether the profiles work in the Hero. I'm curious myself. I do know the stock rom has everything locked, but since the kernel source has been released and Modaco released his kernel, I'm not so sure if the lock statement is true anymore.
I'm compiling a kernel as we speak with the cpu frequency scaling on. Had some issues with the cpufreq.h file not seeing two variables necessary for the userspace profile, but hopefully I was able to fix that (won't know until I run it).

im fairly positive that the CPU is getting stuck in the sleep mode while the rest of the phone is not, causing me these issues... the problem is i dont know how to fix them

Ok, modaco rom sets the governor to "performance" on boot. This essentially "sticks" your CPU to max throttle.
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Will tell you where you are, governor wise..
I'm not entirely sure what setCPU does, I've never used it, but I assume it just tweaks your top and bottom Mhz and maybe changes governor to performance when the screen is on? If it's configured properly? Maybe not, who knows?
If you want the best battery life, put the governor back to msm7k, it's a custom governor modified by HTC to make your battery last longer.
I changed the following line in modaco.sh:
echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
to:
echo "msm7k" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_govern
and haven't noticed any slowdown from it.. my battery is lasting longer than it did on Stock or Fresh 1.1...
I didnt want to root my phone HTC WILDFIRE because I am a little noob at these things a I thought I would totally destroy my phone.
But I found out that it is not so hard to root it as I thought, so today I succesfully rooted my phone. Than I wanted to overclock my procesor from 528 Mhz to I think 768 by downloading new kernel etc... Everything went good. I succesfully installed(or what, I said I am a little noob) that new kernel and was happy that my Wildfire will be faster.
But now I can see that my phone is lagging more, sometimes it freezes what i couldnt see before when It had original kernel.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?
Pls help
Do you have SetCPU installed? Then turn it a bit down, till 690~710 Mhz
Maxing it totally out can make your phone unstable. Think about it like a car, when it has 100 hp's and you tune it to 150 hp's things might break.
From stock 528 to 768 isn't a walk in the park, it's +45%
Yes I have setCPU and when I set my procesor to about 710 Mhz it lags and freezes. When I set it to about 580 it is doing the same. The only one solution of this I think is to reinstal the kernel.
Now I have 2.6.32.21-HCDRJacob-ga91 e 73b- [email protected] 1.
That is the full name of it. And in setcpu info it shows me before the version ( 2.6.32.21-HCDRJacob-ga91 e 73b- [email protected] 1) Linux versio... Maybe thats the problem???
And I have to find some solution as fast as possible because sometimes when somebody calls me I cant answer because of a biiiig lag. And then I cant do anything.
Thx for help
What id the minimum speed set to? I wouldn't go below 160. And my max is 672mhz.
Are you running different profiles or just the main profile in setCPU? Mine used to lag when i had a few profiles running but i have removed them all and only using the main profile and the lag has now gone.
when i went to wildpuzzle i found whatever speed i set my processor through set cpu it froze about 4-5 times a day. after flashing the kernel to remove overclocking it has not frozen in a week. everything really responsive, checking auto detect speeds with set cpu shows max 528mhz min450mhz
I tried many options and at last its OK. firstly I had a big difference between max and min of my procesor at setCPU, so I tried to set it to min about 630 and max about 700.
Now it is OK I dont know how, but I am happy the ****y problem is somehow solved and everytjing now goes very smoothly, thx u all

So what kernel did you flash it to?
ok guys first of all ill start by saying that none of this i mine...its all stuff that i understood from different threads.I am a complete noob so there are gonna be many things ill not be able to understand to you!
i am gonna thank these brilliant people first
-gokhanmoral
-pikachu
-droidphile
-andre
and others(who have started undervolt threads) ive missed!
ok now to the main point!
this works only on ics siyah kernels as currently GM is the only one who supports the following commands!
what you need!!
-terminal emulator
-volt tweaking app (set cpu, voltage control),i wont prefer extweak or xxtweak as you cant edit a perticular freq volt with them
-patience
ok now start by selecting the freq on which you wanna work..undervolt it to your desired volt
e.g ive undervolted my 200mhz to 925mv
now open terminal emulator
type:
su
LVL=`cat /proc/kallsyms|grep " level\."|awk '{print $3}'`;kmemhelper -n $LVL -t int 14
and press enter
ok what this command does is that it changes your touch screen freq to the number last in the command line..in this case 14 it is
you can alter these numbers as follow:
0-1600 6-1000 12-400
1-1500 7-900 13-300
2-1400 8-800 14-200
3-1300 9-700 15-100
4-1200 10-600
5-1100 11-500(stock)
so as you can see the above command line sets my touch freq to 200 mhz.
ok so as soon you press enter in the terminal emulator your touch freq is changed to the freq of your liking..(remember use the above states numbers and not the freq itself in the command line) and some how that perticular freq takes load in such a pattern which i could not recreate with any stress stability test or even mxvideo test( you can find about it in various threads) and hence if the undervolt is below the stability threshold your phone will crash,hang,reboot...but you will get to know which volt value on which freq is unstable.
After setting the touch screen freq try(you can use voltage control to confirm if your touch freq has changed or not) use your phone normally...scrolll between pages..browse..play games..and if the perticular freq volt is unstable your phone will indefinitely crash within 5-10 min..!
do this procedure for every freq and ull definitely will get yourself the most stable UV's your device can handle!
you can read much about this and other stuff in droidphiles thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572937
thank me if it helped!!
Hmm... do we really need another one of these threads lol
Sent from my 80GB CyanogenMOD 9 + Siyah ICS powered beast. Booya!!
i jus tought of sharing this as it seems to me that this kinda crash which the touchscreen freq produces isnt reproduced by any stability test..hence another way for testing your stability...besides i myself was facing few crashes with my settings lately and this cured it...!
Your CAPS key is broken ...
haha not really...HERE YOU GO...i had words in caps up there aswell...dun knw what went wrong..btw...love your dp!!
Thanks for the info. I've been having a little trouble with some UV values that I believe should be stable. This might be the fix. I'll report back after I've tested it.
I didn't even know you could do that, learn something everyday.
Interesting because in Siyah I've always noticed the max frequency ALWAYS exceeds whats set in SetCPU etc.
If I set it to 500mhz, it will still jump to 800Mhz momentarily when touching the screen, loading apps, scrolling etc. I've noticed on the latest kernel it hits 1200mhz, no matter what my global max frequency is. On Abyss kernel etc, it behaves normally. Is this 'touch frequency' the reason for this?
I watch the CPU frequency using Cool Tools/CPU spy...

mate your issue can be solved simply by installing extweak and setting the smooth scaling level to your max freq..on default the level is 1200..but this issue was solved in the 3.2.7.X versions of siyah..which version are you using?
i'll try to UV with xxtweak
doesnt matter what uv tool you use...but i should be an app which uv's indivisual freq's and not all at once as then you wont be able to figure out which volt is giving error on which freq!
Hi everyone,
Thanks for reading this . As specified above, my phone has a rather serious problem of overheating. To try and reslove the issue I tried modifying the CPU frequency, to set it low enough. And a very bizarre thing just happend.
Opening Kernel Adiutor, I saw that 4 out of my 8 cores (the 2.5 ones) were running normally. No overclock, stock settings, stock governor and so on. The issue seems to be in the other 4 (the 2.3 ones). Both the minimum and highest frequency allowed is set up to the same parameter (1556 mHz), forcing it to stay at maximum clock all the time. I tried modyfing via Kernel Adiutor the settings, lowering the minimum frequency allowed to stock one (which should be around 300 or something), but it had no effects: it immediatly comes back to 1556 and just won't come down.
All of this started happening after i removed Franco Kernel from my system, flashing another ROM (Chroma) with a different kernel altogether. I'm currently on Cataclysm ROM and after doing a clean install, formatting internal storage as well as every other partition, i couldn't resolve the issue. Moreover, Kernel Adiutor sometimes won't even show my CPU settings, stuck on an infinite loading. If anyone could help me, it would be much appreciated. It's really important. I'm by no means Android expert but i do have a rather basic understanding of ADB and so on.
Thanks a lot for your time.

I used to own a n7 and that allowed me to set min and max freq. with apps fine but i am also seeing this on my 6p, i don't notice any "overheating" although it may be due to me being used to it always running hot since i run a lot of heavier programs and also you know... SD810 but i guess it does the frequency thing as a way that frequency is actually controlled on this platform or something, because it sticks fine to the limits you set while flashing a kernel but no app can get it to stick. Then again this is just me sharing my experience with it as it is my first phone with this platform, so maybe someone who knows more about this could offer some help.

I have problem on my OP 8 Pro, I no can set in Franco Manager kernel minimi frequently for little core 300, the same change to 1000? Does anyone have any idea what causes this effect? I no used any app to boost phone... After reboot is normal, i can set 300. Help?
Any advice?
So depending on what kernel you're on it may reset or the settings could be forced.
So EX allows me to go to 300 and stay there, also allows me to lower the max to 100MHz lower. (no performance hit, much cooler phone)
So my advice would be ask in the kernel thread, chances are it's forced to be at 1GHz as Is stock

Ok, I understand, but I restart phone and its normal, I can set 300, after a few hours, I set 300, the same set 1000...
