overclocking question - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i noticed that some people including my self are having issues with 1.2?
Question is why havent we already had the option for 1.17 ?

mann u too???? mine gets hot and goes into random reboot mode when i clock it to 1.2 on kingklick's kernel and on JAC's kernel...on voodoo beta4, it forcecloses when i try to clock to 1.2 in setCPU. Maybe they need to test it more w/ those whose phones overclock w/ having a hissy fit afterwards like mines

Some phones just can't handle being oc'd.

vibrant freezes please help

hi there
i am a noob i just brought vibrant previously using htc hero...
i tried to flash bionix and bionix fusion with the new 1.2 ghz oc...
phone works well except when i play games like asphalt, neocore my phone freezes then i have to remove the battery and insert again...
what could be the problem
i am using J12 RADIO....
PLEASE HELP ....
VIBRANT IS 100% AN IPHONE KILLER ... LOVE IT....
mine does the same thing not really sure why yet but if your using setcpu just put the speed at 1000 on both the proformance is unnoticable

i had kept setcpu max 1000 and min 200 still it freezes when running heavy graphics games
Your phone might not play nice with that kernel. Try flashing core 1.0 instead and see if that helps.
Yes, not all phones are stable when overclocked. Use the stock kernel and you should be fine.

^^^ this, but I'm sure you knew that since it says so every where.
My phone runs great at 1.2Ghz with JAC's XMOD Voodoo kernel, but locks up constantly with Core, OCed or not. Try swapping kernels, but don't give up on the OC yet.
I'm having the same exact issue, mine will just lock up for no reason sometimes as well. I'm not sure what it is, I kind of feel like it's the rom. I had problems originally with fusion to begin with. Maybe I'm not doing a proper procedure to install it?
Is it because I'm wiping and going straight to fusion? Please anyone else are you having this issue, I'm getting frustrated and feel my phone is slightly useless like this. I HATE stock.
Edit: Setcpu doesn't let me set to 1000 with Core 1.2Ghz, I can only get 1000 if I use Core 1.0Ghz (obviously). Again though, same issue regardless.
Core is still in beta status and not all the bugs have been worked out yet. The issue the OP is having has been mentioned before in the Core thread in the Dev section and on the TeamWhiskey.com forums as well.
OP: To alleviate the freezing issue you're having, flash the 1.0GHz CoreV1 instead of the 1.2GHz CoreV1

Can I run a TW overclocked kernel on EDT ROM?

I'm liking flagship v4 and wondered if I could run, for instance, TW's 1.2ghz kernel without messing up my phone?
Thanks.
i guess you could but why theres better kernals that have less power drian an oc to 1.4ghz use the DoW14 kernel 1.1 its much much better an ya flags rom is nice but for performance an speed i would try out Bionix-v 1.2.1 unless ur dead set on flagship

Thanks for the reply....been watching the voodoo sound kernels for some time...tried the dragon 3.2 a few weeks back and could not live with battery drain. Seems that this is still an issue for dow14, even without OC....I'm gonna wait a little longer.
i ran bionix 1.2.1 for a few days but found it not as stable as 1.2, in fact I've found that the TW roms have given me issues since nero v5, which was a perfect rom.
Gonna such with flagship for now...
I had the same experiance. I like flagship theming better too. I tried dow and dead horse on flagship and went with deadhorse OC. Better battery and seemed more stable...but thats just me.

If by the TW 1.2ghz kernel you mean Core, then it will only work with Android 2.1 ROMs and not 2.2 ROMs.
EDT 2.2.1 + DOW1.4fow = awesome.
Dragon kernel 3.1.2 gave me best performance although i can only go up to 1280mhz
57FPS on neocore
weird thing is it's performance beats other dragon kernel versions even @ 1360mhz
48FPS only necore
have yet to try DOW kernels extensively ... tried it once for a short while but i experienced some instabilities and i guess i'm not familiar yet with setCPU
First off, this should have been asked (or searched) in the thread for the ROM, or kernel you're asking about. If you really had to make a new thread, this is absolutely the wrong section to post it in. It clutters the dev section, and gives the mods more unnecessary work. Theres a Q&A section for a reason. Not bashing, just for future reference.
That being said, Most of the recent 2.2 Vibrant kernels should work fine on most recent 2.2 ROMs. If you're worried, just make sure you have a flashable version of whatever kernel you're currently using on your internal SD to flash if anything goes wrong. That could save you from having to use Odin if anything were to happen.
Also, someone mentioned troubles with SetCPU. I personally prefer using init.d scrips to overclock. Most ROMs support them now. I don't need any extra apps/processes running, and it's always very smooth for me. That's just personal preference though.

What's the best rom and kernel combo?

I'm running R-9 V5 rom and android 2.3.4 stock kernel and 1.77.30 radio. I was getting random reboots on the 1.97.00R radio with the stock kernel, kholk, and faux123. I'm just wondering what is the perfect combo to eliminate random reboots? It's extremely annoying when every time I pull my phone out to use, it's restarting. What I would prefer is Kholk kernel with the 1.21Ghz overclock and R-9 V5 rom, as well as the 1.97.00R radio and no random reboots. Why does this occur? 1.97.00R was supposed to fix random reboots... With the none ext 4 kernels I get fully working wifi on all faux123 and kholk, however ext kernels lose wifi in an error. However the none ext 4 kernels have random reboots with perfect working wifi. So I'm looking for a rom/ kernel/ radio with an overclock preferably kholk and a rom/ kernel that allows for working wifi and no random reboots. I get random reboots even while the phone in underclocked. I usually run the max at 608Mhz. Your guy's help would be highly appreciated!!
Thanks Buds!
When it comes to modifying my phone, I am very reserve and I usually like things to develop until they are fully functional and integrated, i.e. roms, kernels, etc.
So before I move on to making major changes I like to find a stable setup that works well for me.
Currently I am running CM7, prebeta #3 with faux's kernel at 1.1Ghz
My honest opinion is that faux's kernels are really sweet and even at a 1.1Ghz OC it is awesome. There is a 1.3Ghz out right now by the way but with a 1.1Ghz OC my quadrant scores while running CM7 are averaging out at around 3600-3800.
If you, dont want this you should try the recently popular HomeBase ROMS which are stock 2.3.4. with blur (i think stock looks nice) and an integrated 1.3Ghz OC. That should run pretty smooth.
It really depends on what you like. CM7 runs nice if you don't care about/use the camera.
Alien #4 (with or without theme) is really fast and looks pretty good with the theme applied (deblurs a lot)
The Darkside 1.3 looks pretty with its red/black theme and has a pretty good boot animation. It is also pretty quick and deblured.
Haven't used Aura but it's supposed to be a really fast semi-stock ROM.
CherryPi is also supposed to be fast but I don't like the theme.
Starwars ROM is really nice if you are a big star wars fan.
Faux123's kernels are the most stable that I've seen, even the new 1.3GHz kernel. Kholk's suffer from random reboots when wifi is enabled (only with some people, me and you for example).
Also, with your phone underclocked to 608, you are missing out on just how quick this phone can be. If you undervolt, then leaving the phone at 1GHz kind of balances out the battery drain.
Cm7 is awesome, but the battery life is so-so. Fauxs 1.3 kernel is fast but battery is even worse.
Stock is my favorite with faux 1.1 kernel undervolted. I wish there was a 1.0 kernel that supported uv.
Alien is never updated and suffers from too many force close and reboots for me.
I'm not too big on the themes from some of the other roms, and since they are all repackaged stock roms with the same tweaks and either faux or stock kernel your often better off with stock and the theme of your choice imo.

I'm running HomeBase with the faux 1.3ghz kernel. It rocks.
later
I run everything stock and it works great. Next question?
Im running Alien #4 with the theme, Faux 1.3 kernel undervolted, i get the less random reboots with this mix.
I disabled the apps i dont use much from the autostart using (Optimize Tool Box from android market), so it boots a lot faster if it ever random reboots.
My vote goes to Aura
From a post I just did on the Develop Aura thread:
Diviance: Thanks very much for a great ROM (#8 Blur). My phone, for the first time, performs like I want it to. My bluetooth sync with my Ford truck was never complete before. I noticed this am it was even uploading the text messages to the truck! And I can have both the phone and the Slacker work via bluetooth (after gb had to be one or the other). After GB I also had some issues with one person on text messaging where I didn't get the phone number so I couldn't respond. That went away also. In both cases reloading 2.3.4 did nothing to fix it only the Aura ROM.
(I am on the #8 Blur which comes bundled with Faux's kernel I believe)

So have you noticed anything else cool about optimize tool box? sounds pretty cool.
I have never experienced random reboots.
I am currently on CM7 / Fauxx123 kernel
For a stable build and performance, flash Alien #4 / Fauxx123 Kernel 1.3Mhz

it also notifies me when an installed app can be moved to the sd card, i think this should be considered a must have. and its free

How to OC the Vibrant past 1.5ghz??

so i have always run overclock kernels w/out any problems. bali at 1.2, bullet at 1.42, bullet at 1.48, and i cant remember the name, but another kernel at 1.5. all without any problems.
I want to try to clock higher. I have tried the app Tegrak, while using bullet 1.48, but it wont let me clock past 1.48.
Is the only solution to try to build a kernel myself, are there any Vibrant kernels that clock faster then 1.5, or is there an app that will let me set my clock speed above the preset?
thanks
Glitch kernel for MIUI and CM7 allows clocking up to 1.7ghz. It's rarely stable, but if your CPU is capable, use the ML or LL versions and see how far you can go.
You'll have to be using MIUI or CM7, obviously.

the thing is that im on always on 2.2 or 2.2.1
Yeah was gonna suggest glitch+cm7or miui but if you are on 2.2...
I think cmenard might have made a 1.54ghz bullet(only worked on some vibrants,needed good cpu)
can't remember if it was GB bullet or 2.2 though. google it yourself....
If you're not willing to move to MIUI or CM7, there's not much you can do. Regardless, 1.5ghz and above is rarely stable anyways. Only thing that has gotten me past 1.3ghz stable is the Glitch kernel with the medium leak CPU tweaks.
It is possible to build 1.7ghz frequencies to a froyo kernel(the kernel dev just have to know where to add it), but chances are few phones would be able to handle it, and battery life would seriously decrease at those frequencies. My opinion is 1.7ghz on a vibrant isn't worth it.

[Q] my note blacked out

so...my note is rooted with OC and on CWM beta 3. i even have flashed a battery percentage status bar mod (after many tries and lots of FC's issues) i finally got everything stable on a stock rom oc'd at 1.8 and this thing was sick dude...i mean so fast and big and bright and perfect...no problems except for 1...was getting random reboots...3 a couple days ago while using boat browser every mtime so uninstalled and started using dolphin. worked great until 1 rando reboot today while on dolphin browser...i figure no big deal it happens when you tweak your phone...but then all of a sudden it did something different just now it did...it just randomly rebooted while toggling wifi on except after it booted back up i couldn't unlock the screen or get into the launcher and the screen went black and unresposive. power button did nothing even holding it down...i pulled the battery out and then back in and restart and phoone booted up normally. clear as a bell and lightning fast...
so i just dialed down the oc to 1700...hope it's all good though...can't think why it would do this...
thanks?
Your phone can't handle the 1.8 ghz overclock.
When overclocking, no 2 chipsets will perform the same. Some will be able to overclock to 1.8 and some will not.

So then is this OK?
Well anyway I guess I'll post back with the results. Cuz I'm running that way now. Hope I don't brick this beauty.
All opinions welcome.

You won't brick by overclocking. If you run it at an unstable clockspeed for your phone, you'll just be getting constant reboots.
1782 mhz should be fine. Try benchmarking your phone using Quadrant and Antutu from the market to stress test your phone at that new CPU speed.

yup, sounds like classic too-overclocked symptoms to me. Back it down a notch like you have already done and try again...
