[Q] How to Overclock using CM7 Stable Harmony? Rom - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone,
I just flashed my G-Tablet with CM7 Harmony 7.0.2. I want to overclock this rom. I am currently at 1709 using quadrant scores. Please let me know a step by step on how to overclock this rom. Thank you in advance.- Jerome

Easy.
If I'm not mistaken, CM 7.02 has an earlier version of Pershoot's overclock kernel (though you will want to upgrade to his latest dated 4/30/11).
Hit your menu button, go to Settings, go to Cyanogenmod Settings, go to Performance, click "ok", go to CPU Settings.
Leave Governors alone
Leave Min CPU frequency at 216 Mhz
Set Max CPU Frequency to 1200 Mhz or 1400 Mhz
That's it. Play around, if everything works well, no force closes or lockups, go back in and check Set on boot.
Done.

Thank you very much...but how do you upgrade the kernel though?

Easiest way is to use the latest nightly from CM7, it has latest pershoots kernel pre-installed.
If you need to do it manually, follow his thread on the dev section, you can't miss it.

[KERNEL][AOSP][4.29.11] OTB-Reloaded Kernel

Here is OTB-Reloaded for AOSP. This Kernel is overclockable and supports user adjustable under voltage control. You can choose what you want to do with this, if you want to use super undervolted settings for battery life you can. If you want to have a huge overclock you can. It is all depending on what your phone can handle and what you want to do. This kernel is based off of the facinate ed01 froyo source drop. It includes voodoo lagfix, voodoo color, bln, and many more tweaks.
OTB-Reloaded version 1.2
Built from ground up with new fascinate source
Overclock up to 1600 mhz - based off of onix kernel thanks to existz

cwm3 installed with update zip
BLN - thanks to neldar
added simple i/o scheduler
added BFQ scheduler
added autogroup_sched patch v4
Kernel hz at 300, User hz at 150
TinyRCU - thanks to paulmck
Initramfs from JT1134 with busybox, and init.d support added
Update zip installs su binary and Superuser.apk
Modules tun and cifs included
rdnis support added
Backported ext4 patches - thanks to imnuts
Updated reserved memory settings and jhash3 table from speedmod kernel
Battery Hack - thanks to sirgatez
GizmoDroid fixes for data wipes
ssewk2x_real_fix.patch to make sure if you disable 100mhz step it stays disabled
Uses edify scripting
Other misc tweaks
Mini How-To
Do not use setcpu. Use voltage control from market. Test settings for at least a day before applying at boot. When testing just apply for now. It is best to not use more than 7 steps at a time. Users are encouraged to share their settings. If you would like a way to keep track of how much time cpu spends in state I recommend cpu spy from the market. The oc and uv are based off of the onix kernel for the i9000. You may be able to find helpful information there as well.
Frequency Mhz / Voltage
1600 mhz / 1500mV - overvolted **use extreme caution**
1500 mhz / 1500mV - overvolted **use extreme caution**
1400 mhz / 1375mV - overvolted **use caution**
1300 mhz / 1375mV - overvolted **use caution**
1200 mhz / 1300mV
1120 mhz / 1300mV
1000 mhz / 1275mV

Dank for the mirrors
All of the testers
Great people in IRC and anyone I might have missed.
*** If I missed giving you credit feel free to pm me and I will rectify as soon as possible. ***
Use this kernel at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damages to your phone. Be especially careful when overclocking and using voltages above 1375mV.
OTB-Reloaded AOSP ver 1.2 - latest version includes voodoo sound v8, cwm3 installed with update zip, default scheduler changed to deadline, fixes from ssewk2x
Q: OMG I lost Root
A: SU zip needs to be updated to work with the mount.wrapper we are using.
Flash OTB-Reloaded ver 1.1 or greater and your root su issues will be taken care of.

Everything works great so far! Thanks!!!!!! I'll check back in later to report any issues/success
Do you mean by this statement that bluetooth is fully functional including in call use???? That would be awesome and may allow me to more fully check the aosp rom out

I asked if Bluetooth was working because jt's current 0327-2 kernel doesn't have working Bluetooth. I was hoping to upload an update to jamezelles miui rom but I wanted an ec10 kernel with working Bluetooth first.
It's no biggie. There is another bug in the current miui release where the lockscreen shows the time only in 24h, so that's another reason to delay the update.
Thanks for the replies.. and for the kernel.

[Q] [ROM][Beta3][24.05.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1 Kernel Issues

Today a tried ogo2's beta3 ROM. In SetCPU I can't change the frequency. There are min 480-max 600 Mhz, if I change the value, nothing happens. That's wrong because it drains my battery.
Yeah, same problem here... such a pity because other than that its a great ROM!
Not really an 'issue' - the kernel isn't set up to allow overclocking, so why would it?
Not just overclocking. I can't go under 480 Mhz. That's a bigger problem for me.

I don't think the kernel allows you to change clock speeds from the MAX600 MIN480 HTC set as the default. Not an issue, but that feature will be added sometime (ogo2 said it would eventually I think)
OK, I thought that the default min clock speed is 245 Mhz.
Oh ok, didn't know it depended on the kernel, thanks.. This may be a totally noob question, but this is the Q&A section so, can I not just flash another kernel that does enable overclocking...?
Guys, cannot start neither beta3 nor beta4. When flash beta3 (through Clockworkmod 3), the system doesn't load, green 'HTC' letters tend to reboot. After beta4 installation the same screen, but static - without any reboots. I have S-ON. Wiping doesn't help.
Please, advise what to do.
Cheers!

I eventually answered my own question.. You can just flash another kernel.. Look under the Overclocking tutorial in the Dev section...
It's ok now, I am using B-ROM. In this I've got too much reboot, battery drain, GPS issues, etc. Maybe beta 5-6-7 will get a chance...

I'm using Blay0's ROM as well, haven't had any issues so far... are u doing a full wipe before you flash the ROM...?
If I installing a different ROM I always do a full wipe sure. I did not do full wipe, if I installing a newer version of a same ROM. Btw the most stable ROM is Blayo's, next Cyanogen, but there are no new sense...

[Q] SetCPU

I'm using the InParisv4 Rom. Is anyone using SetCPU with this? If so, what overclock setting is working for you?
If you want to overclock, you need an overclockable kernel. Paris v4 uses the stock kernel. Flash Pershoot's kernel and you'll be able to overclock to 1.4ghz.
Don't forget the "thanks" button if this helps you.
Thank you! I already flashed Pershoot's kernel over that ROM. Was just afraid to overclock too high and then cause performance issues with my tab. But I will go on ahead and overclock to 1.4. Thanks slack.. will click the 'thanks' button right now! And please.. if anyone is aware of a reason why I should NOT do this, please advise
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
My tab runs perfectly stable at 1.4 ghz. If you have trouble just clock back down.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Thanks FillTheVoid... so just to be sure, do I just set the Min and Max to 1.4ghz?

set the max to 1.4 but leave the min on the lowest setting.
I just installed In Paris v4 ROM into my tab, and flashed pershoot's kernel. However when I go into SetCPU, the max is still only 1.0Mhz. Could I have used the wrong kernel? I used the TW UX one.

It was set for permissions. I just reinstalled SetCPU and then it worked right away, weird. Thanks though!
Is setcpu free? If so where can I find it?
its a paid app, but its free for xda members. just search for setcpu 2.2.4 and it should come up.

Can't overclock in MiniCm7 pro rom

Well currently I'm using MiniCm7 pro V21 rom and using stock kernel.
I go to setting>CM settings>Performance>CPU setting and ticked OverClock.
Whenever I try to overclock my phone over 600mhz,for example: I set the phone to overclock to 652mhz, return to home, and then I go to setting again, it revert back to 600mhz itself
Why is that? Is it because I'm using stock kernel?
Can't overclock in MiniCm7 v20 pro rom
I have the same problem, when i choose more than 600mhz, then it will ben chosen automaticly 600mhz, could anyone help us ?
i'm using cm7 v20
I had the same problem, I don't remember what I did but you can try maybe installing SetCPU? Or you can go bottom on Settings>...>CPU Settings and tick "Set on Boot", then turning off the decive just after that.
Just an advice, don't OC it to 748+, just leave it at 748. Why? Because, if more than that, my phone gets unstable and it reboots after a few minutes. Just happens to me, I don't know about others.

Hi, Jericho4869
I tried many custom roms. almost all version of MiniCM7pro too.
And I'm not sure about which version, but early versions of MiniCM7pro was I can over clocked.
But I can't over clock on after v15 of MiniCM7pro.
What's the differences between the both ?
So I got some idea, it's a modules, specifically differences of x8oc.ko and x10minioc.ko I think...
>x8oc.ko is a can over clock without problems but if not set over clock to make device to slow down and lag coming up.
(So when I was not use over clock, I did delete or rename x8oc.ko fot the save performances of device)
>x10minioc.ko is a difficult to over clock on some device but if not use over clock but no adverse effects to processing speed.
It's can not o.c setting to enable or over 710 mhz to get unstable or shutdown or freeze and restart, it has many cases on my U20i
Anyway, I can't over clock over 710 mhz on MiniCM7pro v21 and MiniCM'9'Pro v1.2 (based on MiniCM7pro v21) both too, because the both use x10minioc.ko for over clocking.
My opinion is: If you want to try over clocking, you should to be choose another roms with custom kernels !!
However now I'm using ZombiePanic kernel and I choosing custom roms conditional on it's supported custom kernels. Because no problems for testing o.c.
IMPORTANT NOTES: (I know, maybe you already to know)
If you want to try to over clock, please you don't try on main device !!
If in case of under 710 mhz but it is get a alot of load on cpu of your device.
keep on over clock in long time is a serious risk of failure to your device !!
its not possible to overclock in minicm7pro. u can if u flash simple kernel. it has inbuilt oc modules. so try it!

( E10i x10 mini ) cannot overclock over 691 mhz.. help!!!

i am trying for some time now to find a thread or post to help me overclock my mini at about 748 mhz . tha result : i found nothing..
please if someone knows how to do that help me..
i am using the latest minicm7 2.1.6 for mini and latest E10_nAa-08_2.6.29.6-nAa-08
kernel..
What exactly is your problem?
first thanx for replying
then.. what you cannot understand??
i said that i would like to overclock my x10 mini (E10i)
up to 748 mhz and if its not possible (i think it is)
i would like at least to OC it at 729 mhz..
now.. when i try to OC it , it freezes !!
(every time and if the OC is at 729 mhz or more..)
the most i have achieved is 691 mhz
edit:
also i saw your video and you had 729 mhz
the first time you tried putting cyanogenmod at 729 mhz
didnt it freeze?

this is what I did to my u20i.
go to cwm. do full wipe.
using nAa + cm7 you can:
OC= interactiveX gov + 768+
OC= ondemand gov +748
minimum OC should be 200+ to run smooth.
You can try these three variants of solving problem.
1.Reflash the rom, wiping battery stats, dalvik cache and factory reset.
2.Before setting maximum cpu, set minimal cpu up to 480 Mhz. Also uncheck Undervolt and set Perfomance mode.
3.Install another rom (not the good opinion ^_^)
Hope it helps.
P.S. My phone is now running 806 Mhz =), that means, that you had a mistake while installing firmware

Ok... i have tried all these except for the last (third) option..
Unfortunately i didnt achive to make it work..
Do you think the problem is that i have flashed naa - 08 kernel instead of the naa -07
that it says it requires??
Also i ve thought about overvolting..
if you have any idea post..plzzz
again i thank all of u for the help you provide!!
EDIT:
I was playing around with higher freqs and when i tested 806 mhz
It froze instantly and the red led light came up..
I think this is a clue..
When red flashlight comes- that means your phone will reboot now, because it is freezed. It is normal. Try to install another rom, maybe your currently running firmware is not fully compatible with your phone, because it is custom :/
Hope It Helps.

Firstly, my phones red led comes up only when using 806 mhz.
With any other frequency it just freezes and reboot..
i have also noticed that when i apply 729 mhz
it doesnt freeze instantly even if i am using performance governor but only when i do something (ex. Press the home button or back button )..
shall i ask something?
Will this happen to all minicm future releases??
Hi all, sorry to interrupt but i have u20i and my cpu is only stable upto 729mhz. i think it is not the kernel and the rom but the chip and processor they have added in the phone. it is a hardware matter.
so guys, whatever rom you install it is the same result. no change.
i have installed numerous roms and i have the same oc 729mhz max. not more than that.
so stop fighting with how to get it to 800+mhz.
Thanks!

Are you trying to tell me that it will never work at such speeds (Over 691) ???
Thats a pity for such a good smartphone
yEAH he is right. its all about the chip you have some processor can go upto 800 Mhz and some remain only on lower frequencies even i remain on 691Mhz. We cant do nothing about it
@salvinluckys,
Yes, if you want a 800mhz phone then you have to have a luck to get one like you want.
It is hardware matter. you might consider looking at the scores after you do benchmarking, you will find some 800+ mhz doing just little near or above 2000 score. it doesnt matter if you have the highest score, all matters if your phone is capable to do whatever you need to do. that is what i am looking at.
Good day!
EDIT: Even people with the same frequency have 1800 (something) score. Dont feel bad about your phone. It is a good phone. and we are lucky to have awesome devs giving roms for us.
Thanks to all of you for helping me understand that its a hardware incapability..
Last question..
will this persist even if i overvolt and then OC my device?
(I dont know the way yet .. if you want to help me)

NEWS
Guys.. i have some news !!!
with the latest update of minicm 2.1.9 ( naa 11 kernel )
on 729 mhz my device is partially stable.. i will reboot either with hard use or
after a day or so..
NOW the big part..
while i was playing around with benchmarking ( antutu ) at 729 mhz i saw that the device was freezing only during the read or write test of my SD card which is 8 gb
and splitted in 3 partitions [ fat32 , ext4 ( or ext3 i dont remember ), swap ].
what do you believe??
is there a chance that the problem with overclocking has to do with the SD card??
(748 mhz still reboots after a few clicks on the screen depending on the governor)

sorry but i really think it has nothing to do with sd card but a hardware limitation as u were told before... im in ur same situation... my x10mini cant oc over 691... its as simple as some phones can, others not, maybe depending on the date it was made... but dont worry!! ive been using it with 691 since last update and runs btilliant
I can go up to 825mhz without problem i have an x10 mini (E10i) with minicm7 2.1.9 and nAa's 11 kernel, thank you very much
I could oc it to 787 mhz,it is mostly stable.
Each device is different, not every device is capable of overclocking above 691. The most stable all over those devices is 691. No more! I am stable ta 748 with nAa.
