I tried to post in the das Bamf thread but am unable to because i have too few posts. I have also read quite a bit on the subject but cannot seem to find an answer. i am wondering if i have das bamf v1.4 installed do i jest need to install set cpu and select auto detect for the over/underclocking to take effect?
Thanks.
Yes, if you want to overclock you need to use setcpu. I believe it defaults to 1ghz otherwise.
yes i understand but do i need to play with the setting within set cpu? i remember reading that creating profiles could interfere with the roms settings. my question is do i just install set cpu and not touch settings for the included overclocking in the rom to work?

Click auto detect, this will detect the speeds of the processor.
Here you can turn up max speed to OC or leave it at the default 1ghz. Profiles you can set for screen off use 245min etc if you want to get more advanced.
thank you very much. got it now
They also don't want you to press "set on boot", correct?
You should really check out the chat room on the sticky you could find the das bamf makers there. They really helpful and have answered all questions in the chat.

Don't....unless 100 percent sure its a stable speed for you.

In the thread it says you can use profiles if you're using the On Demand governor, but profiles shouldn't be used with smartass.
Edit: Wish I could edit the subject to say "recommended", I know it's not REQUIRED
Just wondering if SetCPU is needed to access some of the "Smartass" features. I'm a total noob when it comes to rooting, and just installed the kernel yesterday.
So far I am loving the results but just wondering where the smartass features come in? I will install SetCPU if required. I want to use this kernel to it's utmost potential!
Thanks!

If you are running Das Bamf 1.6+, then you can use the toolkit in the ROM to switch the governor to smartass - no SetCPU needed. If you are running another rom, however, and want to change the governor to smartass (if it's not the default) then you will likely need SetCPU or NoFrillsCPU (not sure if that is the right name).
thanks for the reply. I am running stock rom with the kernel. I will spring for SetCPU in this case!

Using same kernel. I have mine overclocked all the way up (1497) on SetCPU using on demand scaling. Running BAMF remix 1.6.1. I've done this based on other members suggestions and loving it so far.
One more question, since I just installed the BAMF Remix ROM onto my phone:
since bamf has cpu control built in, which takes precedence? SetCPU or what I set in the BAMF toolbox?

You should really use the built in CPU Settings in the toolbox IMO you are just using more resources by using SetCPU.
And as for which one will override the other I believe it is just which one starts up first. If you have them both set the same you probably wont notice. Again though you are really wasting resources if you use SetCPU since this ROM has it built in.

Neither really takes "preference" - they both will adjust the CPU setting - such as, if you changed something in SetCPU and then went into the toolbox, you'll see that the changes were "made" there too. They both adjust the settings of the kernel, and both read the settings the same way.
I don't use SetCPU profiles, but if you do (like screen off, etc.) then those might take preference. But both will work the same, except that SetCPU has a few more "frills" like profiles and stuff. Like stated above, using the profiles will use more resources, however.
Im rooted and running eclipse 1.3 the only fix/mod I've run is the hdmi mirroring service fix. I'm trying to judge the efficiency of underclocking for a science fair project. The idea is that underclocking will conserve the battery but that it will slow the phone down to the point where it will take so much more time to do stuff that the increased battery life is pointless because you can't accomplish as much.
But I digress. The real reason i'm here is because I can't get any cpu 'app' to work. I've tried rom toolbox, setcpu, and antutu cpu master. While they let me use the cpu sliders, my phone just ignores them.
I don't just want, I NEED a fix for this. Please respond quickly, science fair is in ten days and its 20% off my grade.
I will be sooooo grateful for any fix.
I'm not positive but I thought because we do not have an unlocked bootloader we can not adjust our kernal there for no over or underclock unless it can be controlled in a script but I'm not positive and I'm just making a snap response
I think that it is actually possible to underclock your phone. I just forgot where the file was lol. I will try to find it.

Have you tried the CPU script? Overmind or navenrob or someone made one. Try Liberty or Molten as well, they might be built in.
Just FYI in the future, try to start projects like this as soon as you get them. A few days will not yield enough data to really judge efficiently :/.
Just use navendrob's cpu script. Its part of his init.d hack. Then adjust the max clock freq with script editor overwrite the file and reboot.
I used setcpu to check the freqs because the max and min sliders will reflect what you enter for values.

U dont need to flash that hack tho.
The cpu hack is already in the eclipse's stock init.d script.
Just edit the part of 98(or 99?)tweaks that refers to cpu frequency. It is near the top
Use root explorer to find and edit...
Dont forget to delete the .bak that is made as it will run as well unless deleted.

Its 99tweaks. Its under /system/etc/init.d.
I couldn't remember if Eclipse had the clock speed script in it. I knew the Speedy scripts dont. Must have gotten myself mixed up. Haha
Sent from my Eclipsed and ICS themed X2.
Thanks all, I just edited the script and so far, limiting it to only 1ghz has worked no problem.
One final question though, do any of you happen to now the default clock speed (what it would run at on eclipse if I left it completely untouched) when using the stock browser (no videos or multitasking)? My tests seem ti show it to be very close to 1ghz.
Ps. How do I edit the thread title? Id like to add "solved" to the title
Ummm 1ghz is what it was at for max frequency.... Before anything was changed
from my X2 roaming the north
Personally what I would do in your situation is adjust the max clock and use a few benchmarking programs. Run each max speed a couple of times with each program. Find an average benchmark value and record that for each max value you define. Its unbiased. Your 'feeling' of how the system runs isn't quantitative.

This app allows you to control your CPU voltages with an easy to use interface. You can increase or decrease voltages (undervolt or overvolt) for all frequencies or fine tune voltages for each individual frequency.
! HTC DEVICES !
! ROOT is Required !
! Kernel that supports HAVS or SVS voltage adjustment REQUIRED !
In addition, if you are an Incredikernel user, the app may also be used to toggle Incredikernel specific features on and off, namely USB fast charging and audio boost.

Any chances of a kernel to go along with this? Ziggy's didn't like my phone and I always liked your's on my old incredible

Using Ziggy's kernel. App works good, but FCs on click of the SVS portion? hmm

It might be a permissions thing. I tested on my own internal build. I'll look into it.
New beta posted that fixes compatibility with ziggy's kernels.
Thanks
Thanks for releasing app so fast Chad.
I enjoyed your work on my Incredible and I look forward to your work on the Rezound.
The app makes my life easier, and I've been tweaking it down bit by bit to see how much I can get this phone to sip.
Do you have any plans to do kernels? I'm using Ziggy's which seems to be running fine now (although i had a reboot earlier, but who knows why that happened).
I ran just your kernels religiously on my Incredible and enjoyed the performance and stability.
Regardly, thanks again for all the work you do bro.
Works great!
I would recommend for the Rezound screen size to make the buttons a tad wider. They are rather tiny on this screen and sometimes when i click the voltage adjustment button I click on the value input and go into keyboard entry mode. I have rather smaller hands so i would imaging its more annoying for bigger people.
other than that, great job.
Awesome app. I didn't know you had incorporated cpu controls into it

is the default setting the default setting for HTC Rezound without ANY modification?

I get random reboots on Ziggy's no matter what governor and clock speed.
It wipes dalvik cache when it happens too.
If i do a set cpu stress test, and let it sit there, eventually the freeze/reboot happens.
Something about how it's written.

I get it random reboots too, I tried many ROMs out and i still get them. The conclusion I get from it is that we have bad chips.
Ziggy mentioned it had something to do with the cache getting corrupted. Im wondering if regularly clearing it would prevent bootloops from happening

Will they show as an app? I am running ziggys kernel, have installed this a couple of times and nothing ever shows up, what should I do?
Anyone know what's the default setting for rezound without any modifications?

I've been using the latest energy rom, and its set up with default cpu settings (UC @ 1.2 min 192 mHz, etc.), and those settings are always default, no matter what I set up in say kozmikkick's aroma installer for his kernel. So, that leaves me with resorting to a cpu tuner, that I'd rather not use to alter what the rom is set up to, to have the phone run the way I want it to run. Where or how would I go about changing what the rom is set up to do? What files need to be edited? I just want the kernel to do what its designed to do, and have it set up once and know that it'll always run that way, without having a tuner run in the background.
Thanks!

well you could edit the init.postboot.sh to set the frequencies at startup

I took the init.postboot.sh file and replaced it with the init.qcom.postboot.sh file from the stock Rom. I just renamed it to init.postboot.sh so it would replace what is in energy. Seems to work fine for me. I don't see any ill effects so far. Any devs tell me if that is not a good thing to do. I just thought i'd try something on my own for once.
