Im running a fascinate with cm10 nightly, stock kernel. I was hoping to overclock cpu to 1200 mhz, and I can't figure out a way to do it. I tried changing the gorverner, but they're all capped at 1000 mhz. What can I do?

You need a kernel that is capable of overclocking. If you look through the Development thread, you can find one to do so.

Yeah, but at the time I didn't realize he made a new folder for 1.7., so I looked but all I found was 1.6.1.. but at least, 1.6.1 won't screw your Rom if you have an old partition (current being nightly cm10)--I learned that the hard way.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Actually 1.6.1 was for the newer partition layout I think the last one he made for the old one was 1.5.4 or something. Anyway, he just released 1.7.5 last night, grab it from http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/jellybean/175/ :good::good:
im using the 1.7.5 release on LagFree
i dont want to overclock it tho because idk if it would mess up my phone .

[er, I kinda meant to say "if you have the new partition layout," not old..]
but well...... :S I was right and wrong, because the old partition layout [with /datadata] is technically the "old" layout [the one that everybody always had], until for some reason they decided to move it around, so that you only had 400MB for apps, which I quickly ran out of after restoring my TiBu apps...and then they finally came around and put /datdata back, so theoretically it's the "new" layout, but..well yeah, hopefully you know what I mean.

The reason it was moved around and suddenly you only had around 400MB was because the Fassy has 2 chips, 1 is fast as hell and the other is slow. Problem was, the fast chip only had so much storage space, so that was the trade off, good performance but poor storage space. For the newest layout, Jt didn't simply just 'put back' /datadata, the new layout actually is a completely new arrangement that gives us the fast speed AND storage space. If you want to read about it go over to the CM10 thread on Rootzwiki, Jt explained what he did. What this means in practical terms is that we now have a device with good speed and storage space that can handle the newer Android OSes :good:

Short term: Glitchy behavior (freezing/crashing/etc) and random reboots (this is more likely if you're doing Live OC versus just bumping up your CPU MHz)
Long term: Shortened device lifetime due to component stress; in other words if you plan to use your phone for a very long time don't overclock
Not all phones react the same way to overclocking, you might not get the same results as others are. For example, a lot of people seem to have good luck with 110% Live OC, however I can only get 105% on my phone before it becomes unstable.

Well, I just leave it set to "ondemand", so that way it will automatically adjust the speed as needed (Max: 998MHz, Min: 245MHz). My max is 998MHz.
what firmware we can use? which is highly recommended? R2BA026?
SetCpu and more, can we use Juice defender to increase autonomy

you know the phone does that anyway right?
I don't speak French so I can't comment on that but I've been using SetCPU since the 020 root and it SEEMS to work alright. Sometimes when I open it, it says something about failing but then it works OK.
I'm currently on R2BA026 rooted and it works for me. I also use JuiceDefender but to be honest I'm getting more and more convinced that's not helping any more. JuicePlotter in particular is struggling and keeps stalling, with gaps in the graph frequently, not sure why but that's not relevant to this thread so I'll leave that.
But I do NOT use it to overclock and would not recommend that! For a start, it would cane the battery. Rather, I use it to "throttle" the CPU speed. I think that's what most of us use it for. E.g. when the screen is off, it stops the CPU working too hard (and thus saves battery). Also when power is running low, CPU is throttled to save it. By throttled I mean "restricted to 245Mhz".
It's free to XDA members because the dev kindly put it up here somewhere for download - if you're looking for "how that works" on the Market, stop now because that's not how it works! The Market doesn't give you a discount for being on XDA.
Just search for it on here, or wait for someone who has used it to point you in the right direction. I'd search for it for you but I'm about to head out.

I've used SetCPU for a few weeks and now I've been using my X10 without SetCPU for a few weeks and I've noticed zero difference in power consumption.
I'm guessing Android does a fine job itself at downclocking the CPU when it doesn't have to do heavy tasks.

Hello everyone, I just had one quick question (I'm also very new to Android in general so I don't want to do anything to make my phone un-useable). Does Setcpu work with samsung fascinate root and clockwork mod? I heard some people say theres a seperate application to underclock and overclock the fascinate, but then again i do not think they knew what they were talking about. Is there a better program than setcpu?
Sorry if this has already been posted. I know its been posted in other forums for different phones, but didn't find one for the fascinate.

SetCPU is the most popular one. You'll need root to even use SetCPU. And you'll need CWM to flash the OC Kernels. If you dont OC SetCPU is pointless
On that note.
SetCPU must be ran on conservative and with no profiles and no load on boot.
If you do reboot your phone, mine reverts back to 800, so I need to manually change it to 1200.
Do u have to set both min & Max to 1200???
no just the max

Yes, of course you are right. Actually the other day I forgot to slide sliders up from 800 to 1200 and I was getting really good battery life for like 2 hours my % only dropped 1% and I was like wow.
Im just pleased as punch that there are OC/UV kernels out, its the best of both worlds.
Actually my battery life is above average it seems; either that or my usage is below average so Im not draining it as much. I'd gladly mildly overvolt to something like 1350mV if it meant I'd be rock solid stable at say 1.4Ghz
BTW, jt I heard you might be getting out the kernel speed chase after these 1.2Ghz's? Just don't feel like chasing 1.3 or 1.4?
I am running Dirrk's D012 LV 1200 Kernel with SetCPU
Luckily, the LV runs EXTREMELY smooth on my phone..
So smooth, that for the past day now I have been able to run with "set on boot" and constant restarts on my phone..and with Profiles for Screen Off, Temp (probably wont get there), and Charging. I can say that I have had no problems with my profiles and set on boot. Then again, I don't want to contribute to hurting anyone's phone
Just thought I'd let everyone know how my phone (and potentially others) can seem to handle profiles and set on boot.

I was hoping to get some help. I have installed jt's 1200 voodoo kernal, and I can't seem to get Setcpu to clock at 1200. It still says that the max is 800, however, on the slide it is only giving me the option to goto 528. Bellow are my facts, any help would be great!
Facts:
1. flashed jt's overclocked voodoo use clockwork, but did it through "install ROM from sd card". I am not sure if this is correct, but it seems to be running voodoo.
2. I have no idea how I need to have Setcpu set up.
I feel like I am blindfolded and I am trying to wack at a pinata.

I dont know if anyone is having this problem but on pretty much any rom/bootloader combination my tablet will only run at stock speeds and if the rom is overclocked on first boot my tablet just wont boot at all, I know some processors are slower than others but is it really likely that mine maxes at 1 GHZ? If i use setcpu to OC when a rom is running smoothly it will run fine for about 1-2 minutes or until i needs a lot of cpu then it just freezes. Any ideas to fix this, or just help understanding what is going on would be appreciated. My CDMA hero overclocks just fine and crashes instantly if i go too far unlike the tablet.
I know that this will sound like a stupid question, but are you certain that you've loaded a kernel that allows for overclocking?
what rom/kernel combinations have you tried?
Calkulin Clemsyn combo is what I'm using, and the overclocking appears to be working fine with Clemsyn's kernel.
Try CPU master from market. The free version works fine. Should do what your looking for. I have the paid version of Set CPU and it has never worked on gtab for me.

Not all chips can be overclocked to the extreme. A few can't handle it at all. Try some small increases at first to see if your chip can handle it.
I've also had some luck with finicky chips using PimpMyCPU with Celmsyn's kernel since it allows you to set specific speed and voltage combinations (Not sure if CPU Master allows that... never used it). So you might give that a try.

Only his latest kernels have worked with it. Setcpu didn't get on there end of the process until late may-ish, I believe, when they finally supported tegra2. Still CPU master works with pershoots kernels too. Its basically a re-branded copy of setcpu anyway.
No matter what combo of app/kernel/rom it wont go to 1200 and not lock so im just thinking its one of the slower tegras, which sucks but oh well

That's just it. It's not written anywhere before I wrote it. It's like masturbation. It's not really written anywhere for a 12 year old to learn about. Eventually, they all figure it out on their own... or they become the 40 yr old virgin.
Not positive it will work but for desktops, back when I overclocked religiously, instability could be helped by raising voltages. But it might increase heat which also leads to more instability. Lucky for us, tegra 2 is low voltage.
A couple weeks ago, I flashed the stock 2.3.6 rom using Mobile Odin Pro to retain root. Immediately afterward, I used CWM to flash Entropy's DD kernel. Then I did some undervolting with SetCPU. These are the voltages I have set right now:
1200 - 1175mv
1000 - 1100mv
800 - 1050mv
500 - 950mv
200 - 850mv
They're well within the suggested minimums from several threads.
Anyway, my phone has been freezing about once a day since then. It always happens the same way: the screen and capacitive buttons become unresponsive, and after a few seconds the phone reboots. Could the undervolting be causing it? Is there something else you guys can think of that might be causing it?
EDIT: Also, every time this happens, I lose quite a bit of battery charge. Like, if my battery was at 50% before the reboot, it'll be somewhere around 10% afterwards. Is that normal? I've attached a screenshot.

Well if you would read a little (as entropy clearly stated) not all chips are the same, some can handle oc/uv and some can't. Seems like you are one of the ones that can't.

Wow, ok. I understood the risks to undervolting, and I realize I'll probably have to stop doing it. I was just hoping that this problem could be from some other cause so I wouldn't have to.

You know, its posts like this that make Entropy rage and not want to help members or post his awesome kernels.
I think we should make some stipulations that users cant download attachments until they hit 25 posts, that way they have been around long enough to know how to read and search.
I just installed the new Siyah 3.2b1 kernel to run my ShoStock 2.2.2 ROM last night and everything was working fine. I didn't make many changes other than switching the governor to lulzactive and the i/o scheduler to noop.
It was running fine over night (lost 0% battery).
Then today after I used the phone for a few minutes the battery seemed to drain a little quicker. I know its too early to complain about battery life but I decided to investigate. When I checked cpuSpy it showed that all of the frequencies were barely used (mostly spent in deep sleep over night) but the 1200 mhz frequency was used most after that (significantly more than the others). When I went back into voltage control (same thing with setcpu) I noticed that it seemed to be stuck at 1200 mhz. The only thing that fixed it was changing the governor.
Does anyone have any ideas on whats causing this and how to fix it (I had great battery performance on lulzactive before so would like to use it again)?
Just try clearing app data rebooting and reinstalling the app. That problem has happened to me every once in a blue moon and that fixed it for me.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks, I'll try reinstalling the kernel.
Which app are you referring to? because I had this problem no matter which app I used to change the governor (Extweaks, voltage control, setcpu).
Use Jivy's Kernel cleaning script prior to flashing, and try again.

Use Jivy's Kernel cleaning script prior to flashing, and try again.

DONT use kernel cleaning scripts. They cause more problems than good.

I haven't had any issues with using the kernel cleaning script thus far.
What kind of harm can they cause? and do you have any recommendations on how to clean up before switching kernels or is just flashing them over ok? (A lot of people recommend the script cleaner and it seemed to have solved a lot of peoples issues kernel issues)

Wipe cache, wipe dalvik. I've read more problems with the cleaning script than good.

thanks, I generally do that any way along with the script cleaner

Lol what exactly have u heard? If it was causing problems it would get pulled. The only thing I can foresee happening is someone flashing it and then not flashing a kernel or something. Which would be user error.

CPU related as well...
Hi Guys,
My first post here. I am total noob. I rooted and installed the newest ShoStock2 on my at&t galaxy s2. Everything works perfectly. I couldn't be happier. I also went bought the setCPU for overclocking it. That too seem to be working fine.
My question is. I didn't set up any voltage requirements. The only thing I did was to set it to 1600 MHZ and 200 min and change the governor on the bottom to Lulzcrative. Will this work? Do I need to actually do something with the voltage? am I really on 1600 right now? I cannot tell.
I ran a quad test (I now it is meaningless in real world) it came 2818 yesterday. I ran it again this morning ..... It froze and took my battery from 45 to 9 in less than 3 mins!!!!!! The phone got really hot. I took out the battery right of way. The battery life showed 23 percent this time.
I got little afraid of the quadrant testing ... The phone seems to run good without that but I am not sure if it is set up how it is suppose to.
Could someone help me out please? I tried reading the forums and that is where I got the idea in the first place to overclock it.
So to summarize it, I guess phone is fine right now but I am not sure if I set up setcpu out properly.
I am on the newest shostock2. I have galaxy s2 on att. I am pretty good with computers and phones but not sure about voltage and other problems with relating to setCPU.
Thank you advance for helping me out.

Lots of questions there. Phone overclocking is the same and at the same time different than PC overclocking. I too bought SetCPU and due to bugs and problems have completely abandoned it. Honestly with the exception of running an epeen benchmark there is little incentive to overclock. Find a newer Kernel (I use NEAK which has no overclocking ability) and install it, performance is stellar. You really have to ask yourself, is my phone slow enough that I need more CPU power to make it faster?
To see what time your CPU is spending at a given clock speed, download CPUSpyhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd, you will be surprised to see your phone spend very little time at it's max clockspeed.
Due to the immaturity of the fab process for our CPU's (well SoC), what is a stable overclock for one person might not even load for another. These CPU's are not like an Intel Sandy Bridge, with 1Ghz of free overclocking, nearly guaranteed. You can certainly play with voltages to try and attain a higher overclock, but at the expense of CPU lifetime, as well as battery.
Additionally, it takes a new Kernel 3 or so full charge, discharge cycles on a phone to really 'settle in' and 'learn' a particular phones battery, while yours got hot, which to me indicates an endless loop of some kind running in the background.
My advice would be as follows: Choose a ROM you like, feel free to play with different Kernels, again, I use NEAK, which does not work for some folks, or crashes or whatever. Give it several days to 'settle in' and if your still not happy with performance or have stability problems, try a different governor/scheduler. You really need to establish a good, solid baseline of your phones performance and make small changes and give them long enough to establish any changes to your phones overall stability. Basically running cowboy through your phone and making changes will have a negative overall outcome. Make small, documented changes, test and see what overall effect this has to your phone's stability and battery life, and make another change.

I just installed the new Siyah 3.2b1 kernel to run my ShoStock 2.2.2 ROM last night and everything was working fine. I didn't make many changes other than switching the governor to lulzactive and the i/o scheduler to noop.
It was running fine over night (lost 0% battery).
Then today after I used the phone for a few minutes the battery seemed to drain a little quicker. I know its too early to complain about battery life but I decided to investigate. When I checked cpuSpy it showed that all of the frequencies were barely used (mostly spent in deep sleep over night) but the 1200 mhz frequency was used most after that (significantly more than the others). When I went back into voltage control (same thing with setcpu) I noticed that it seemed to be stuck at 1200 mhz. The only thing that fixed it was changing the governor.
Does anyone have any ideas on whats causing this and how to fix it (I had great battery performance on lulzactive before so would like to use it again)?

Lulz has known problem in 3.2b2-1
Gokhan has fixed it in 3.2b2 - 2
Wait for ktoonsez to update it for us

Thank you so much for the information. Could I simply uninstall the setcpu and go back to normal? Simply reflash the rom and/or kernel? I really like shostock2 with the cherry picker kernel for now. I want to give them a week of try to make my mind. Before the setcpu I think.I was better off
Thanks for the help by the way. I appreciate it.
Thanks for the update about the new siyah kernel. Glad it wasn't just me with the issue. I was going to post this question in the siyah thread but am new to the site so didn't have permission so thanks for finding me all the way over here

I'm just going off what I've seen in the Siyah/NEAK threads. Most of the lock-ups/random reboots I've heard people having had used the cleaning script. Either that or its just coincidence.
I may be wrong but I think that using the kernel cleaning script actually solved most of the lockups. Perhaps I misunderstood the threads.

Hmm, well I've just manually wiped cache and dalvik and have never had problems between roms/kernels.
