SetCPU not working? Even with root and custom kernel - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have my atrix rooted, running Alien Rom #4 with Fauxs Kernel! (2.6.32.9-MB860-GB-Faux123-v0.2.0 [email protected]#3) so it is supposed to let me overclock but when I use SetCPU app my only scaling options are performance and powersave and I can't get the CPU up to more than the default 1GHz. Why is that?? I was trying to overclock to 1,1 or 1,2 but it doesn't go past the 1GHz.
Someone knows what's happening here??

That's not the overclocked kernel. You need the 1.3 one if you want to go over 1GHz.

Oh Thanks a lot bro!

Disable Overclocking in ICS Passion v11

I just upgraded to ICS Passion V11 and want to know if it already overclocks me to 1.4? If yes how can we stop the overclocking.
Thanks.
Get voltage control from market it should be free.
Check your OC it shouldn't be OC stock though

You are right, it wasnt OC , I was confused as it was mentioned by neobuddy in the ROM post

ROM ToolBOX Pro and I717 CPU frequency

I just discovered for myself the CPU utility shows max CPU frequency as 1188MHZ. Is there something wrong with my CPU or is it ROM Toolbox's fault?
Thanks!

I use ROM toolbox a well for many thing including cpu speed... For me I'm can go all the way to 1.89 ghz.... Have you governed the cpu elsewhere? Also what ROM u using? I'm on aokp
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
the max that the rom toolbox sliders will go depends on the kernel you are using. Run and oc kernel and you can safely run at 1.86.

Did u set the cpu in rom toolbox and settings/performance/cpu? If u set both depending on the rom/kernel ya might have some weirdness.
Been using rom toolbox for almost a year, or whenever sasibob did her review on the main portal. The apps solid.

Thanks for your responses, guys. I was on Gingerbread stock. Now I'm on ICS stock and it goes all the way to 1500. Pardon my ignorance, what's oc kernel?
Overclockable...
Meaning there would be options higher than 1.5 .. And the frequency options would depend on the modules put in by the dev

Stock kernel

I recently flashed to 2.45cz firmware and I obtained root access and cwm. What I wanted to know was that does stock kernel allow over-under clocking with antutu cpu master ?? Or I need a custom kernel for that??
Use the thank button, it's there for a reason

I was able to underclock the stock firmware with antutu master!! I underclocked it at 1gz at max and it's working!! I can already see the slight lag even with free ram when playing temple run which was never before!!

Yes you can underclock but not overclock and/or undervolt stock kernel.
Is it just me or do you think overclocking a 1.5 Ghz device for non-testing purposes is just unnecessary?

[Q] Setting CPU speed

Hello all, i have a question, i am using the Phenomenal 3.0 normal version kernel and is using SETCPU apps to manage my CPU speed. However, when i try to set the speed to 1100mhz and above, the CPU speed does not go up to 1100mhz and above, instead it always stay at 1000mhz.
Has anyone experinece this before? if yes, has anyone any steps to resolve this?
Could it be the undervolt issue that is preventing me for going up to 1100mhz?
Thanks.
Looking at the thread it doesn't look like the kernel has overclock capabilities,

I am not trying to overclock, just trying to go to 1400mhz at times but i just cant go past 1000mhz, only when i restart the phone, then it will go to 1400 at times...
seem like i have solve the problem by untick the cpu power saving under the power saving option. However, it seem like the SetCPU apps is useless as i am unable to control the CPU anymore.. is that true? or are there any apps that can overcome this issue?

Have you tried using other apps, instead of SetCPU, or are you running two CPU-manipulation apps at once?
Try clearing SetCPU's data/cache and try again
I personally use AnTuTu CPU Master, but that is a personal choice, I guess

I have SETCPU and system tuner pro... does these 2 apps cause the issue that i have?
Phenomenal kernel is a ready to use kernel. You cannot change any settings here in this kernel. It's not like any other kernel wherein gives you the ability to configure the cpu and gpu. Setcpu will only work with other kernels such as SiyahKernel. This will give you the ability to set the cpu and gpu freq and voltage. The power saving mode limits the power of your cpu, thus disabling it will increase cpu freq

No u need a kernel with cpu freq altering capability integrated. Siyah kernel has this I know

I use Tegrak Overclock on stock rooted ROMs. It goes to 1.6Ghz. Works perfectly.

Nope. Stock kernel will not allow you to change it. If you're on stock ics rom, i would suggest you use siyah kernel v1.5.2. I'm once a user of it. If you need a guide in underclocking and undervolting, you can find the best guide here posted by bala_gamer. You can also settings in his signature which you can use.

Yes sir I know. But I just want to give other options. So that he can choose which is good for him. He can overclock upto 1800mhz in siyah kernel. But afaik, he is more on overclocking with undervolting to have performance and battery life.

Thank you all for your good advise... now i know why i cant set my CPU speed due to kernel.
Will look into trying other kernel if i really like to control my CPU.

Nope. Pretty straightforward and it's been around for a while now. Used it with my Galaxy S II as well.

And you are very right!!!!! Doesnt matter what app you use u cant overclock on stock kernel!!!! Stock kernel doesnt have the provision for that. And if members who send links read those links properly before they send them they will realise that you need a kernel that supports overclocking like siyah!!!!!!!!!!!! Stock kernel doesnt.

Viper3D anthrex kernel overclock

During the installation of the viper3D (275) ROM I can choose between clockspeeds (I'm using the synergy ROM atm so I know I can overclock it to 1,7ghz and still be stable) the gout clock can be raises to 320, is this safe? And as last what is the difference between ROM controlled overclocking and kernel controlled overclocking?

Overclocking is all in the kernel. The GPU clock speed (the one you're referring to at 320mhz) is the graphics processor, technically its not being overclocked, its being brought back up to the Qualcomm default speed

I would suggest you dont go anywhere near 1.4 ghz....All other setting....leave it at htc default...Vsync=off and the last option..make sure you choose.Rom MAnage cpu clock or something.......i forget the words...i met trouble letting kernel manage the cpu clock....
