Imagio Overclock? HTC Performance

hey everyone!
I have been loving my imagio with the Orange Slim Rom on it, but there is always room for improvement... i have been reading about the HTC Performance overclock for the older qualcomm processors msm7x00, and was wondering if anyone had tried it on our Qualcomm 7600..
Anyone Care to be the first to try it? Im kinda scared since i dont have insurance on my phone.

Hey, I'm giving it a go now. As they say, you only live once, right? Or twice (insurance helps with that ). By the way, the cab you have didn't have the shortcuts to make the actual changes. I found one labeled "__with_shortcut_" floating around the internet somewhere that actually let me use the thing. It's about the same file size.
I haven't noticed anything too dramatic, but here's some of the things I think got better:
- Lists like the contacts or All Applications seem to come up faster.
- Populates the complete lists of songs on the touch flo music library much faster and maintains them better, especially after a reboot when everything's fresh.
- Speeds through the phone's setting menus now, where it used to slow down in a lot of places.
- Google Maps approximates my location the moment it starts now, whereas it used to take a couple seconds after coming up (I don't know why that is since it finds you first by using cell towers, but it's just better at it.) It also loads the maps faster when moving around.
- Weather animations appear smoother.
That's about it. No other applications load or work any faster for me, and animations are just as smooth as they've always been. I've enabled landscape support for just about everything on the phone, and nothing rotates faster either. That said, I'm running the Imagio's stock rom with nothing more than the SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy and Manila NoPushInternet to keep the memory usage down, so I don't really know how what it'll do for a custom rom. I'm really considering removing it though, since the gains I've seen are too small to run the risk of bricking my phone or draining the battery faster, which I feel like it's doing. It is very stable though, so I see no problem in giving it a try. It never locked up and nothing crashed. Hope your experience fares better.

Thanks for the Review of this app. I think more people (including myself) will feel a little bit more confident in using this app, knowing that we havent had any brick problems... Everyone that has downloaded this app please leave your view on if this app really works or not.

SPB Benchmark is very long in the tooth, but using mainly the gfx & cpu tests on
a fresh install of nrgy may 16th:
stock 524mhz VS dynamic 624mhz clock:

using nuedynamic clock to underclock the phone 384mhz VS 122mhz Note the voltage was set to 0 (least):

FWIW i also tried the near defunct nueoverclocktest cab to go from 524mhz to 768mhz. i hard locked ASA i switched it to 768mhz on both AC power and 100% batt power.

so in conclusion, i highly doubt HTC Performance does anything AFA changing clocks & we apparently can't overclock.

Does this really work for HTC Mega (T3333)?
How can i test the CPU speed?
Is there any prog for testing?
Thanks.

Laggy screen in games (or in any CPU-consuming app)

Hi guys!
I recently came up with a new issue on my HTC Vision (Desire Z, french).
The screen would eventually lag while in an intensive CPU program. But by lagging, I mean something very specific, let me explain through an example:
If i'm in a game (it depends which one but it's obvious with Angry Birds or Armored Defense) then i get the screen lag 9 times out of 10.
I hold a bird, then pull it to the left... aim... and let throw! That's the normal way but when I'm pulling, or aiming (moving up/down) the bird would go, without me having released my finger. And often also, it would tap the screen again just a millisecond after, catching again the screen touch. I see it because the bird do its special ability just after the launch in theses cases.
Same thing with tower defense games: i'm dragging a tower to a place and before i can reach the location, the tower places itself on the way. Then the map would drag as if i caught again the screen touch.
If i'm on the homescreen and have fun with sliding between screens, no problem, i can keep my finger on the screen and move it right, left, fast or slow, that will just move the screen fine, as intended. It's smooth. Same with the notification bar. I can move it down/up fast, smooth, for half an hour if i would like to.
So, basically, that's what I call my "screen lag". It's absolutely annoying, in games as in other apps sometimes (it affects pinch zooming as well...).
I noticed though, that in my processes, the android system process is always running high. Is it normal? In OS Monitor, CPU usage is always at 97~98%, from which system takes a fair 70% (more if nothing else runs). Is that a problem? If not, could that be the cause?
Would you like a video with this problem illustrated to understand or was it clear?
Thank you for your time and help!

If lag is your enemy, crank up the CPU you must.
On a side note, I'm not experiencing any lag at all, just tried angry birds and Need for Speed Shift, all seems fine @ 806 MHz

Same here, nfs shift, angry birds,
Aasphalt, fifa,.... all fine on stock speed. Only reason I've oc'd is to get rid of that millisecond lag on the homescreen, not that it was an issue, I'm just anal.

You can use a process monitor (like watchtower) to find out which process is messing with your CPU.
I'm having a problem where bluetoothd and logcat2 are using up the cpu when I enable BlueTooth. You could try turning it of to see if you have the same problem.

Hi.
Thank you all for your answers.
@omarsalmin, @wileykat
As i mentioned, i did not have that before. Not at all, I played the three first packs of Angry bird just fine. It has to do with some app installation I guess. But I don't know which one, and I'm not rooted. So probably ockling the CPU won't help. What's more, i'd like to keep my battery life as now, which is already so low...
@rajackar
I used OS Monitor to notice that I had a process taking over 70%. And as i wrote, it's "system" (named "Système Android" in french). Also, I keep having he problem with everything off (all i can turn off has been so), and just after a reboot (fast reboot disabled).
How could I find the cause of my system process eating all CPU?
Big thanks guys.

Your not running any task managers are you?.... I used TaskPanelX on my Hero for about 9 months thinking it was beneficial but when I uninstalled and rebooted everything ran smoother. I have tested on the DZ and got the same result.

I'm only launching OS Monitor from time to time, to check things, but close it then (the clean way, complete exit, not just minimize). I'm not running anything else, at least which I know about. Anyway, the problem came before I installed tools for checking. And also, the process involved here is "system".
Can anyone tell me if OS Monitor (or another process monitor but I would like to compare with same app) shows a low CPU usage when not doing anything? Or is it a OS Monitor issue, showing the system process to take all the remaining CPU power?
Thank you

About Team-Nocturnals Shooter (Full sense 3.0) for Speedy

Great ROM, stable, no lag. But I have noticed some bugs or weird features in Team-Nocturnals Shooter, GB 2.3.4 Sense 3.0 dodge kernel 1.6, HTC Evo Shift 4g
1. It's near to imposible to add HTC widgets to the home screens because when the desired widget is selected, the system returns to the customize home screen section, so the widget isn't added or very rare.
2. When managing apps, if you go to the app details, sometimes it will start to compute the size of the app changing numbers very fast; If you click on the Move to SD card when the numbers are changing, you will move another app (not selected) or get error messages.
3. The Quick settings area at notification area show as second line 'Javascript' or 'Navigate away from this page?' in most options.
Question: Is it posible to use wide backgrounds and move between home screens moving the background to? I don't see how.

this should be posted on the roms post

Yes I know, but I don't have enough "useful posts" to post there.

Well we'll just see what we can do about that

hehehe Ok, I will do it, this is a very nice ROM and I want to help to find any issue as user.
Thanks

Ok, tnx a lot. I'll do it.

In the meanwhile, I noticed that the apps moved to a SD card and added to any home screen, will lose their stock icon in the next boot, showing the generic android app icon. That's another issue with this rom.

This is a probably more a question than a incident. I use an app to protect apps from running without a pin or password to protect privacy. Smart applock Pro. I used the stock rom, cm7 based, sense based, and this is the only rom where I'm getting a message from the market telling that the app is not suitable for my device.
The free version doesn't show that message, and was installed without any trouble. Developer or ROM issue? I will check.

i have the same issue here. this works in mikg. but not in shooter... i've done a full wipe too.... any ideas?

Suddenly with this rom my cel become more and more unstable, I got frequent reboots, some lags and error messages. And even I never had the video playing issue (I read somewhere people with an issue when playing video) it finally appear . Plus now, when a I get a call, the caller id image is like garbage video. I liked this rom at first because is fast and has the best sense I've seen since the stock rom. But I'm not using it anymore, I changed briefly to MikRunny beta (sense 3.5), it's a little heavier than this, but better I think. I returned to a cm7 based rom because MikRunny is at beta stage and I noticed the enable/disable 3g control is broken and I can't switch between networks easy, just rebooting.

May be the celphone became unstable because I was trying different values for the cpu clock and governor. I was using dodge kernel and played with smartass, ondemand and interactive governor settings, and with bfq and deadline schedulers. My best experience was with deadline and ondemand scheduler. It was as if I had a new and faster phone.

Fix for 4.4.2 kernel core throttling with Pegasusq governor

OK, this is an update that goes beyond my general discussion on 4.4.2 vs 4.2.2 differences,
I have completely figured out how to make Pegasusq properly throttle cores, and tweaked it to be more like ondemand in fast upscaling of core speeds.
3
It matches what I have with 4.2.2 and allows a stable read ahead cache of 768. Anything higher will cause a dirty shutdown.
Here are my screen captures of a 3 minute time frame of the frequencies used after and during boot, and my settings. Please be sure to copy your settings down before changing them.

I knot iced that my screenshots are not public, so you must be logged in to view them.... Here is a link to my tweaks' it may help.

Update
After a bit of testing further with newly updated apps along with some that I rarely check, as their startup interfaces are more gimmick over their function, I realized that I needed to push my settings further. So, I have made further optimizations that have replaced some of the original screenshots. There are a few changes that were not done previously, thst are now incorporated to allow for better throttling.

My final settings
OK, I am finally done with this! A lot of issues were with xposed. To remedy strange CPU throttling, ended up using the beta test version with my odd mix of modules. Not sure which module does not play well with others but did find it interesting that wanam allowed customizations to the status and notification bars when my CPU throttling was bad. So bad it would not go into power save mode with CPU throttling. Once I removed xposed and installed the test version, wanam would not do much custom changes to the status and notification bars.
Obviously one of the new modules I am using blocks such changes.
Well any way, I can safely use 2048 read ahead cache, and build.prop mods with my tweaks.
So now kitkak is kickass,.

Wanam xposed modules cause core throttlng issues
Well after a lengthy bout of hunting issues with apps causing throttling issues, I was thwarted by Wanam and xposed. First of when I uninstalled exposed, my tablets ability to throttle 300 and 400 went out the door and never came back. Though by some odd instance in testing I managed to get 300 and 400 to be utilized. Primary concern is nnow with wanam, as it is a battery sucker... Tests have shown all wanam modules will throttle the CPU cores when no loads are being put on the system. I am now pushing 8% drain per hour with browsing and switching to apps. Had a few reboots after making system tweaks, 4 ttotal. Each one takes about 1% of battery.
Not happy at all, as I expected better compatibility with 4.4.x
So now I am wondering if throttling is effected by disabling DVFS, if that can be done? Seems like the wanam DVFS Disabler also has issues like its bigger counterparts. I stopped using wanam now on the 4.4.2 tablet. As it is flaky with power consumption,.

Some cm12.1 Mad Catz Mojo Pro's Con's And Screen Recording Information

The mad catz mojo is a powerfull little beast really even now it has a bit of kick for a tv box, the graphics are very good as are all tegra chips for each era. I got around to flashing the custom rom to mine of cyanogenmod 12.1 unofficial and before that clearly rooted and flashed a recovery twrp 2.8.2.0.
Any way here are some findings I had while playing since yesterday
Cons
1. The inbuilt browser works well until at some awkward moments cripples up and falls over, but when working 98% of the time is great, it can be remedied easily with alternate browsers none of which I have tried yet.
2. Screen recorders Just don't function on the mojo generaly being denied install or just plain don't work the choice is minimalistic at best.
3. Once you have flased this you can't go bck without an official rom backup before flashing
4. I have what I now called the blink of death in this rom twice now, once from installing legit screen recording software and secondly from trying root cleaner, what happens here is that it begins flashing on the screen and bizzare pop up messages about closed services appear, this was nothing to do with ay recognized ult here justmaybe chnges in bacground functions or file system that caused an irrevertable loop of blinkmessage blink itermitant screen with the pop ups, also at that stage trying to do a factory reset is futile, what I did was end up clicking in settings which ran well some options so I chose backup reset and then tried erase everything it went into the splash screen for the twrp menu and blinked like the desktop within android was doing, so I simply reflashed just the recovery then wiped and reinstalled the rom from a sd card and back to fresh os it was. In the time inside the os before fthe blink of death lol I basically changed the launcher at one point it kept stable for a while all activities and function enabled, so after a fresh recovery and rom flash I then added the Launcher<3 from the play store immediately and ever since it's perfect in the no blink of death senario.
UPDATE TO BLINK OF DEATH NEW FIX
So far this is working as a fix as the blink of death came back turn off google app otherwise known as google search in settings/apps click google and then disable and leave it this way prevents so far this problem for me using it a full day without the return of the endless blink of death! :laugh:
5. There is serious incompatability with the controller with this mad catz mojo android console unit although a lot work a lot don't making the amount of general controller supported games that should normaly be working from the google play store reduce compared to increase with what it should work with especially as mad catz make peripherals and had done for ages before making the mojo very confusing why it's not spot on for compatability there???
The silver lining gaming wise with the custom cm12.1 is the ability to install miles more games than before shame only a fraction work with this system and controller combo though [email protected] mapping it's some laborious [email protected] and quite technical for a none user or newbie. But if anyone wants to add to this later a really layman easy guide to mapping on android for various controllers please do so as it's none existent on youtube where it laymans that.
PRO'S
1. Stylish sleek and pretty rapid when in full working state
2. Way more play store compatability
3. Found a screen recorder that actually works below:
http://www.scr-screen-recorder.com/
you should use v1.0.5
Set the settings from the same as in the images below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. The GL to SD app still works with this custom firmware so you can transfer at least some games to an external usb hard drive but not all work that way.
5. You can install ouya everywhere on your cm12.1 mojo just download the ouya everywhere 4 apks from this thread page https://forum.xda-developers.com/ouya/general/sideload-ouya-store-android-device-t2812860/page6 and install them 1 by one in your ouya, afterwards reboot and a pop up message asking which launcher to use appears,.
Click the trbouchet launcher and choose allways, from now on click the ouya icon orange ouya shortcut to run ouya everwhere like on the custom rom, first time use requires either account setup for free choose skip if not using a credit card or payment option. And your in ouya back just like before.
6. This custom firmware is pre-rooted and is a flashable zip for use in twrp
And my final verdict 7.7 out of 10 on this rom had it had added usb app installing added some how maybe higher, but generaly better than being lumbered with stock 4.2.2 jelly bean yuck that jelly bean is one old sweet lol. It was probably the right flavor once lmfao.
