[Q] Stand-Alone Overclock Daemon - HTC EVO 3D

Hello,
I'm intrigued with this idea for overclocking, but I'm wondering if such a thing could be a stand-alone program or script, without the need for a full ROM?
I am new to most of this, so I don't know if what I'm asking is off base.
Thanks for your insight.
EDIT: As far as I'm concerned, this thread can be deleted. I don't understand what I'm asking as well as I once thought.

Go here. The OC daemon zip works great if your rom supports init.d. The Oc daemon plus PCM works great. Im using it and its adding a lot of free ram and great battery life.

You could always just edit the files that pertain to the freq, governor, etc... it negates the need for an app to do it for you.
That's what I do.

Oc Daemon is not an app, its a script.

Yes, I know what the Daemon is... I am just saying you don't need anything extra, just do it yourself.

Well the daemon script makes it Alil easier and more trusty because editing that your self, is very dangerous especially for someone that's new to Overclocking

How is it possible to overclock to 768?

I am using this kernel which enables you to clock to 768 Mhz and my friend said this is impossible as the heros max is 528 Mhz, i am trying to tell him that this kernel allows you to clock to 768 Mhz but he still insists that the limit is 528 Mhz so how exactly can you clock to 786 Mhz?
same as with pc. the processor guarantees 528, depending on whether you got one of the "good" batch or the "not so good batch" you can turn that clock up.
i got the **** batch <-- IFAIL

you need to run a rom with an adapted kernal that allows overclocking to take place, currently this can only be done on some android 1.5 based roms. Check the title it usually advertises as overclock enabled.

Aha,... like the Kimera one yeah? I had read up on that ROM but I thought I could also overclock the ROM I'm using currently. I'll have to have a play then.

You could do it on your rom your currently on but you would first have to take it apart, modify the kernal then rebuild it, so unless you really know what your doing its probably best just to switch to a new rom.

I see,... Excellent,... This is getting interesting now.
One more thing then if you don't mind....
I have previously been told how to add and remove .apk's from a ROM using it as a base. Is it anything like this?... Take the kernal out of my base ROM, swap it with the one from the Kimera ROM, maybe modify .xml files to tell it new filenames etc, then re-sign? Or is there alot more to it than that?
This is definitely something I'd like to be able to do sometime. Its not something thats needed right now though as I'm quite happy to quietly sit waiting for 2.1.
Thanks again Lenny.

Asking <> Trying!
The only way you can tell how far you can overclock the particular processor in your phone is to actually overclock incrementally, and see how far you can go before the phone becomes unstable.
Whilst Kendons response was terse, he was quite right in what he said, and you should really apologise!
Regards,
Dave
Kendongs always been a great help,i dont really notice the sarcasm as its exactly what i would have said! You really do have to just try things out but be careful.Anything with new radio or including a radio can be potentially lethal to your Hero

Yeah your right, asking isn't really trying. I could have read up more and found out for myself. But I don't agree that I owe him an apology. For a fact he knew that he would be no help to me whatsoever and would likely just tick me off. He definitely was not trying to help. I'm still adamant it would've been more appropriate for him to say nothing at all.
... And thanx for the input Dave & Bonesy. I'll keep what you said in mind, definitely dont want it burning out.
Thank you.

If im understanding the article I just read on 2nd init, its pointless to run this unless you have a rom to install or are building a rom that uses it. This mod doesn't currently do anything for basic users and there is no need to have it currently. This mod is for serious developers only, am I right naven? I mean what's the point of hijacking the init if you have nothing to overwrite the boot process with? This is a very important mod , don't get me wrong and im very thankful for it.

Pretty much. That's why I didn't bother posting a long post about it. If you know how to use this, you can do pretty much anything shy of flashing a kernel or recovery.
Awesome work, thank you! Hopefully some devs can put this to use.
Hey Naven, have you been able or tried to get a hold of Dragonzkiller to see where he might be at with his work on CM7 or if he is still working on it at all?? Would be nice to know... And thanks again on the hard work to get this working finally!!!
Cool.... what was the new signature for execve()? Sorry I didn't log in to notice earlier =( You should post source
Glad you got it working!!
I haven't looked at it in awhile but dragonzkiller has his source on github you could probably Google it and it'll tell you if he's been active at all or you could even get the source. Last i heard i think it was the just the 2nd init that was causing problems.

Honestly, I think that guy was just a sham, no offense, but I tried to contact him so that I could fork his code and assist in getting Cyanogen, but he never contacted me back, and the code on his github hasn't even been touched for like two months.
So, we have 2nd init, but no one is doing anything with it. Sure wish I knew more about how to move CM7 to our device. I have some free time but no knowledge.
Also, I haven't noticed this 2nd-init being discussed on other forums. Shouldn't you post it in as many places aa possible to gather more interest? Just a thought.

Please don't ever say that no one is doing anything with this. I am. CM7 is what I'm trying to do and with a dedicated version for the x2 (which my current version is a port of the ATRIX), I might be able to do something. The ONLY thing keeping me from continuing with CM7 is the new init script for it. Right now, I'm stuck though until kernel.org is back up and running.
I'm wondering, with 2nd init, would it be possible to boot into tenfars recovery without having to plug your phone in? If so, how hard would it be to implement?

Sorry. No offense intended. I think we had all got the impression that you were just blowing smoke or had dropped off the face of the planet because no one had been able to contact you regarding your efforts. Please, please, please continue. CM7 is our only ticket to having MIUI on this bad boy some day, and I am eager for that day to come. In the meantime, if there is any way I can help, hit me up. I know a lot about coding and debugging, but no real experience with Android ROMs, so maybe I can help...maybe not. Just let me know.
so is this different than navenedrob's other hack? is this something I should flash over Eclipse with the init.d hack?

Torch from Cyanagon Mod on Stock

Although fantastic Cyanogen may be, for many reasons I have reverted back to stock. Main reason being the hyphenated contact numbers. Not to say stock does not have its disadvantages and one which I have found is that none of the Torch apps on the market work well. They are slow or untidy, and the strobe function is useless.
I would like to try the fabulous Torch.apk from the Cyanogen on stock but it does not work. Is there somewhere I can get a deodexed version if not how can I deodex just this app from the 2 files so that I can get it to work with stock? Any help appreciated.
Not possible, the CM Torch required a special driver in the system kernel.

The too, but the most important think is that kernel support it.
Is there a procedure I can follow? I mean if it is possible, I don't really mind giving it a go. Mind you, I am thinking that it is probably not possible otherwise it most probably would have been done by someone already.

Thank you and I appreciate your comment and I agree. But knowledge develops. It is a gradual process. A learning curve. No devs were born with knowledge but learnt from existing sources and changed as they have went along. Nothing differrent here, I want to make changes to an existing applicaton. I am not jumping in the deep end by asking help to create a rom. no.
I have some knowledge of what I need to do. I understand many things may require to execute commands on Linux. I have been able to take split Phone/PDA/CSC mix and match and create a Tarball and the MD5 it. So no, I wouldn't consider myself totally inable. And with anything, I have got there in the end and it will be no different here. Just may take longer. Asking questions is one form of research.

Yes, I agree with you. I can tell what do you need to learn to do this - I think you need know something about programing in Java and C, need to understand how the Linux kernel works, how Android works, and how to make and modify programs for it. If you will learn this it will take a lot of time. I think it's simpler to just to use CyanogenMOD, why you will go back to stock?
Only because I do not like the hyphenated contact numbers and I have tried a few other cyanogen based roms and they don't seem to have where you can delete all contacts together without the aid of third party apps. Not to say that I do not jump too and from custom to stock every now and then.

I have similar problem if not bigger. I recentley flashed Adrenaline 3rd and no torch apps works aswell. NOT EVEN the one that comes with the rom !! the flash comes on for 3 seconds and dies. please help I use torch ALOT
Torch from CM doesn't works on stock, it needs special command in the framework and implemented support in the kernel.

Perflock Question

First, what does perflock do? Second, why can it not be turned off like on the DInc? These might be dumb questions, but I haven't seen anyone else ask or really go into detail. Seems pretty important that a workaround is found

http://www.setcpu.com/documentation.html#disabling_perflock
Perflock attempts to maintain the default clock speed settings of the kernel. Programs such as SetCPU attempt to override that. Presumably the technique has varying success on newer kernels, depending on HTC's implementation. I know min/max values on ICS were still unstable for some that were trying the overclocked stock kernel. The values were in a tug-of-war between SetCPU and Perflock, causing jumps to the max value in the clock speed.
Custom kernels can be built without perflock; need kernel source first to make those for the most part.
This is probably a dumb question but why is source so important to kernels? Can't it be decompiled and in turn wouldn't that allow you to see the code? I'm trying to wrap my head around it. I've never asked why I just assumed that wouldn't be possible. Now I'm wanting to know why and if there isn't q way to circumvent needing source

Some people have been using apps like setcpu to play a bit. I think you can change the i/o with it. Also, it seems at some point (check enable profiles) the 2nd core is turned on. You can also underclock and it doesn't seem to drive perflock crazy like it did before. I can see a direct correlation between benchmark and my set freq. Hopefully, it won't be too long before we get some custom kernels; then the fun begins. AND maybe we get 'quick charge'. That's what I miss the most from my Dinc.

From what I know its a one way thing, you build it but you can't unbuild it
Correct me if I'm wrong
There's a way to overclock but those are dirty kernels and not too popular

The way compiling works is it takes code, such as C++, Python and other programming languages, and converts them into binary.
Binary is what the hardware speaks, as cpu's, gpu's (etc..) dont understand programming languages. (BTW this is a very simplistic outlining of compiling, because more goes into it, such as hardware specific optimizations and so on)
So lets say you have a binary file. That file contains instructions for the CPU to perform (CPU Instruction Set). Those instructions are for example: Read Data, Move Data, Perform Subtraction/Addition/Multiplication etc..
These instuctions do not translate back into code very well, because there is a multitude of ways in a language to accomplish the same task. So going from a compiled binary to source code via reverse engineering tools like decompilers just doesnt work. Take this for example:
The binary instruction set for a file makes "Hello World" display on screen.
Here are the immediate problems you will encounter: What language was the source written in? Because if the correct language decompiler is used, bits and pieces of code can be seen, but sometimes its not even enough to give a hint of whats going on.
Lets say for the simplicity of the example its written in Powershell, or a similar scripting language...
I could display "Hello World" simply by using an echo command.
I could be calling individual variables in the echo such as "echo $h $w"
Hello World could be whats being displayed, AFTER a function successfully completes (if 2+2 = 4 then echo hello world)
So just from those three (There are plenty more ways to do this) you can see why decompiling and reverse engineering isnt an option. Its just a better decision to wait, rather than try to rebuild the wheel.
