Hi guys
Yesterday i was tweaking my GT540 (2.1 Europe Open, App2SD and Rooted)
I saw this thread: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840022 (it is not outside link, sorry for the space in the link, otherwise it will not allow to post it)
So i said to myself, what the hell, and loaded the new kernel. There was some errors through the script but when it finished and i restarted the phone, SetCPU was able to overclock the CPU to 855MHz (Stable!).
To be fair, i didnt follow the instructions thoroughly, i installed terminal emulator from market, did SU command and executed the sh script from there (so not through the ADB console and USB cable)
The problem is, that when i want to wake up my mobile (when the screen is turned off and you click on random button to wake it) it takes four clicks on buttons before it wakes itself and occasionally instead of my lock screen it just throws chunks of kernel code and i have to reset the phone by removing battery.
My question is: when i reflash it to the europe open again, will it replace the kernel as well? (Im 99% sure it will, but just to be sure)
Or there is another solution? I have rooted phone and a2sd done (44 apps/games installed, more than 270MB) so it would be great to restore it somehow without flashing it again.
One more thing:
Overclocking GT540 seems to be fun, but it has very strange behaviour:
When SetCPU not started (apply on startup is unchecked and the widget is showing 245-600, but they are the def. frequencies), Neocore benchmark scores roughly 47FPS.
When SetCPU is configured with Auto settings or Qualcomm 7x27 settings, and the CPU clock stays the same (245-600), the Neocore benchmark scores only ~29FPS (wth?)
But, when CPU is set to 850-855MHz, Neocore benchmark scores 53FPS.
All benchmarks were executed without sound.
Btw im totally new on this forum and foreign too (Slovakia) so sorry for my English.

worked great for a while then kept force closeing anyone haveing problems??
It seems to be working fine for me. One thing is that when I set the clock to 128 or something, the status displayed on the widget still shows 527. The performance is significantly slowed so I assume it's doing it's job.
Overall I think it's a nice little widget. Great for maxing out performance, and maxing battery life by limiting performance.
Phone:
Black G1
JF 1.51
Yup...me too
I will make the change but it sometimes does not refresh the gui. It will also not work if you reboot. (if i remember correctly) also tons of force closes. I am on 6.01 and have tried JF1.5 and am curently on HERO but have not had success with the widgets on the build yet so I dont have a confirmation.
Could someone post the previous version of this app please? The updated version on the market shows "problem loading gadget" on the Hero rom when you add it to the screen..previous versions worked without any problems. Thanks in advance.
edit: nm..fixed it..just had to run the odex optimization script and all is good again
just use SETCPU from market...its more stable thank open overclock......at least it doesnt unclock back to 384mhz
what is a good configeration for over clock..i dotn want to mess up my phone??
I was thinking the same and should I have it on always max. Or what?
I've got mine set to 128Mhz min and 527Mhz max, it has drastically increased my battery life. Batter life barely drops 1% overnight.
Anyone have the Version before the 1.7 update. The new update doesnt seem to work on hero w/ Rosie.
You can grab the 1.6 apk from the Dev's Google Site (check the Files section).
1.7 doesn't work with Ion for me either

Did setcpu support choosing a different freq. when the screen is off? Setting that to 128 - 245 has helped my battery greatly. One question for anyone using OC apps, does your phones at any time run at a lower freq than what's specified as the maximum? I just set my phone to (with the screen on) to 128 - 384 because if I put it all the way to 527 it won't come down (unless I turn the screen off).

1.2.0 does not currently.
I swear, the next version will (I swear!). I'll also add some basic battery profiles (if battery is less than 50%, set the speed to something) and a profile for charging. Of course, it'll always be free here (link in my sig).

Yes. You can usually catch it by doing cat proc/cpuinfo in ADB. It depends on what the phone is doing at that moment.
That's strange it doesn't work well with hero. Since I'm using haykuros adp1.5hr3 it workd beautifully, but the regular overclocker app doesn't even budge and I uninstalled that..idk tho, probably a build issue as far as I'm guessing.

The creator of the original Overclock app hasn't updated his application for even Cupcake build support yet. I thought he removed it from the market.

Yeah NeoBlade (thanks!) gave me the tip on that one yesterday. Seems to be helping a ton.
Min384Max527
Screen off Min128Max245
I can't find Overclock Widget in Market, was it removed?
I have the Overclock Widget and my question is, is it bad for my phone that while my screen is on i have it a min 527 max 527 then while screen off min 128 max 245... I've noticed that phone charges last longer but the useage of going back and forth determental to the phone? Thanks

Thanks, that would be of great help. Specially the battery profile settings. If you could also put a monitor, be it a widget or something on the notification bar it would be beyond awesome, or maybe a just notification of when the speed is changed and to what it was changed to.
Does anyobdy know if this SETCPU works on Hero ?
And must the app be on after i set the clock or can i close the app after ?
*bump* need to know
I've been experimenting with several new ROMs and have found in every case that when I install SetCPU (either choosing automatic/HTC Hero profiles) it causes dramatic slowdown on my device to the point where I just can't bear to use it. On some screens it takes 5-10 seconds to load and when I am typing a message it is often an entire WORD behind my pace and constantly trying to catch up - for the record I am no champion speed texter!
With SetCPU uninstalled my device goes back to normal.
I purchased SetCPU last year and have always enjoyed it, but it seems with the new 2.1 ROMs, it causes more bad than good. I was in the sprint store the other day looking at the EVO and I happened to use one of their stock Hero's and the difference in speed between that and mine was STAGGERING.
So is it SetCPU by itself or both it and 2.1 ROMs?
Are you using it on an oc'd rom? id not reccomend using a oc tool, manually throttle ot to where you want
this doesnt belong in dev
From what I understand is that you don't even have to use an OC tools such as OC Widget and SetCPU with Toast's kernel. I may have read this wrong so I'd ask someone else. It is built with the On Demand throttling, I believe. Therefore, if you use a 710Mhz one it will scale from it's lowest freq to it's highest when needed. But again I am not sure. Ask someone else.
Yeah Ive been using the 710 dam ker and I was fine for a week then all of a sudden lock ups and crashes when answering the phone etc I wiped and started over and its good I do want to clock it a bit though so any good recomendations would be great
my phone seems locked, stay in certain low speed cpu clock when it is become laggy worse than ever!
i've done so many things to revert back since before this i've used setCPU, Reflash ROM, deleting cache, factory reset, etc
i dunno what to do now coz scrolling anything, picking up apps, messanging, etc become sooooooooo slowwww
any idea?
have you got lagfix enabled ?
and what kernel do you use. have you been overclocking or undervolting ??
and finally what ROM do you use

lagfix or without lagfix still the same
im using cf-root v3.1 and i forgot what my minimum setting in SetCPU and max is 1000mHz, after that i uninstall it (is it ok?) since i dont see any different in it
im using stock JVB and before that happened, i charge my phone all night, and then in the morning, its working so slooowww except sometimes, when to unlock the phone, it behave like normal then in sudden goes slow back
is it behave like that if my touchscreen not working? so many hypothesis here in my head..
Hi,
I am having an issue where the screen takes a solid 1-2 seconds to power on after the phone has been sleeping/idling. Sometimes it's not so bad but it's becoming quite annoying, and sometimes I think the screen turns off again before it can show the lockscreen and I have to pull out the battery to fix it!
Cm7.1 stable w/cm7 kernel. Was happening on stock too.
Does anyone know a way around this? Widgetlocker doesn't seem to fix it
Thanks.
i am having a similar issue on Topogigi's v1.9, no issue on his 1.4 version, very annoying!
noticed with Topogigi's ROM since v1.9:
This issue is even worse when a call comes in: The fon will vibrate about 4-5 seconds before the screen turns on to shows the caller. Until then you can not see whos calling.
On Horsepower rc1 kernel and topo 1.9 I can't say I have noticed this issue.
Used fon was already running on v2.0 with RC1 kernel.
Also did a clean flash of the rom again to eliminate possible issues of other apps running. But this has no effect on the problem. It still persists: When a call comes in, the fon vibrates up to 5 seconds before the screen turns on. Even then, you first see the unlock screen and about a second later the screen with the incomming call. Reproducability 10/10 times. Notice that vibration for incomming calls has to be set as "always on" in settings to reproduce problem!
Extremely annyoing because call can not be answered or dismissed while fon keeps ringing! Already missed calls because called hung up before screen unlocked.
Don't know if its a kernel or rom issue...
Advice
The best way for you not to have troubles is to pick a stable rom and flash it!
If you are on Topogigi ROM, This has already been explaine in the FAQ.

Ladies and gentlemen, guys and gals, experts and noobs, here you will find a F.A.Q. collection for our ROM. Hope it will help.
Q6.But I'm still experimenting lags with overclock daemon on wakeup: how can I tune it to fit my needs at best?
A6.One of the best features of overclock daemon is that you can tune it as you like. If you don't want to see lags on wakeup, just raise a little the max frequency for sleep profile. If you want to mock SGS2 owners with astonishing Quadrant scores, raise the frequency to the max for wake profile and your phone will turn into a raging bull. It's up to you. Your interest is raising? Let's see how to do it:
Fire up ES file explorer (you will find it in my rom beginning with v. 1.6 release), open settings and check "Use Root Mode" and "Mount Filesystem" (you need to do it only once). Then exit settings and hit the highest icon on the left: you will be in the root directory of your phone. Navigate to /etc/andrev_oc, you will find six files there:
-sleep_gov: indicates which governor to use during sleep mode ("performance" or "powersave")
-wake_gov: governor for awake state ("performance" or "powersave")
-sleep(or wake)_max: max frequency to allow during sleep or wake (see frequencies below)
-sleep(or wake)_min: min frequency to allow during sleep or wake (see frequencies below)
Here there are the frequency values available on current kernel (Neoblaze 28092011):
1408000
1216000
1100000
1015000
800000
503000
389000
216000
Make your changes to the files listed above and save them.
Since overclock daemon is already up and running and it monitors these files at every screen state change, it should be enough to hit the sleep button, wait some seconds, and hit it again to wake your phone. Your new settings will be applied immediately.
You may want to check the actual CPU frequencies by using OS Monitor or SystemPanel App (download the freely from the Market).

Look in my signature. Download the Andrev OC app.
Set asleep maximum frequency to 800 or 1016.
Problem solved.
There is also an app for the Topogig ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18273457#post18273457

Hahaha, same timing
Problem solved here like described. Thank you guys!
p.s.: I really appreciate the work of topogigi and spica for roms and kernel. They run 1000x better than the stock roms so I would never follow an inappropriate advice to fall back on those. Must be the urge to reach the amount of 10 posts for some ppl to get access to the dev area...
Lately my Xperia z1 has been behaving a bit awkwardly in games. It's pretty much like stuttering except it's a bit irregular and it can occur for 10 secs in a row then stop for 15 or so and start again. Therefore, I've already tried to wipe and reset everything in every way possible and installed several custom ROMs but the problem still persists. Having done this, the only explanation I find is that I haven't configured something properly when I installed Trinity Ultimate Kernel (a long time ago) and perhaps changed the frequencies or voltages accidentally. Is it possible this is the cause of the problem? If not, what do you suggest trying?
PS: Sorry for bad English and if it sounds a bit confusing. It's my first post at Xda developers.

Try disabling intelliplug, use MPDecision instead for CPU Hotplug.
Use msm_adreno_tz for the GPU governor.
Change the governor to Interactive or Performance and check it the games still lag.
Currently I only have iHackers ROM installed, so I can't access settings like the GPU governor or intelliplug. I tried to change the CPU governor to interactive and performance, but games only ran smoothly with the second. However, this drains my battery very quickly. Is there anything else I can try?
Mate I dont think there is anything wrong with your cpu.
You need to install a Kernel either Doomlord's or Trinity, use any of the setups that are given in the Share your Faux Settings thread in general section - to achieve best balance between performance and battery conservation.
If it was a physical damage then your phone wouldn't turn on in the first way. Just do as the previous post said and install a new kernel and everything should work flawfless
If physical damage then the bios or what ever its called will recall its boot operation and depower the phone.

I've tried several kernels and picked the best settings but the problem still persists. Once I have other problems because I had to unlock the bootloader (xreality not working, camera with a lot of noise, etc.), providind that I relock it (without a TA backup (only with flastool)), format everything and flash the stock firmware, will Sony repair my phone? (warranty hasn't expired yet)
