Hey guys, I'm currently running CM6, and when I tried to upgrade to CM7, from the version with overclocking and undervolting added, my fone always reboot and lag continously, unusable until i restore using factory reset.It never happened with any previous version of CM7. A couple day back, I tried the overclocking tweak for CM6, and the same thing happens. I have to restore using Xrecovery. Does anyone knows what the problem is ? I really want overclocking function
stable overclocking is 768 or less.... this much i knw some dev will help you
You did say that you used the overclocking patch , but did not tell did you use SetCPU with set on boot option ? Also what is ur max and min settings in setcpu ?
Anyways , not sure if you will now be able to go inside setcpu , since ur phone is restarting.
On mini pro , for me 780+ Mhz caused reboot. And if you have setcpu set to set it on each boot , then u will end up in infinite loop. For me it happened , but luckily if you do not touch ur phone (touch screen touch ;-) ) after a reboot , it wont reboot (atleast for me).;
So after a reboot :
1. connect phone to PC
2. use adb to uninstall the setcpu
3. reboot again.
This time you should not be having trouble as your phone should behave normally.
Again install setCPU (if you are interested still !!) and set the max to anything below 760Mhz.
What should we do if there is the reboot loop but setcpu is already uninstalled? Or if its installed but overclock is not set on boot?
Hey thanks for the help, but I can't do anything at all with the phone after the patch, with or without setcpu. It booted up, on lockscreen, lag for 30sec and continous reboot then -.-''

will make much more sense letting people know what you have done. Just the normal OC module should not have ur phone rebooting.
Does the phone reboot if you do not touch it but just keep it connected to PC ? please answer or else its very hard to try and figure out an answer.
if you feel its causing an issue , then u got to figure out a way to disable that module.
The module gets loaded as x8oc.ko.
In CM6 - v4 , this is not there by default but will appear in hw_config.sh if you have patched it.
So u got to get /system/etc/hw_config.sh and comment out the line insmod for x8oc.ko and anything associate with it .
Did fresh install of v4 after factory reset, resulted in no overclock options and completely stable. Installed oc zip from cm6 oc thread which resulted in infinite reboots even when attached to pc, was not able to touch any settings. Reflashed v4 without factory reset and am back to no overclock and completely stable. Setcpu was not installed, recently installed on fresh v4, no options beyond 600mhz.
yep ..if u did a fresh install of v4 , it means the overclock is not functional as the module is not loaded in it.
Changelog for v4 says overclocked and undervolted, but never mind that. Installing oclock.zip as per instructions in that thread results in infinite reboot, does not stay up long enough to use adb shell or access setcpu. The fresh install of v4 does have overclock options in cyanogenmod settings, but values cannot be edited.
Are you implying that v4 will not support the oclock.zip or simply replying only to first sentence of explanation?
Any help is appreciated.
ok . so let me explain ( i know its quite hard on both ways ) . The overclock module (x80c.ko) is NOT loaded by the default V4 version. So if the module is not loaded Cyanogen setting will only show you the max (600 Mhz i thnk) and min (122 Mhz - I think). I did not find that module to be loaded in any of the init* scripts or in hw_config.sh. But the module is present with the build in the modules folder (but not active as its not loaded with insmod).
So if you just coming just after applying V4 - with no other patch. Then you do not have active overlocking module - hence overclocking wont work with SetCPU. Cyanogen does NOT provide you a scope to change the frequencies - you need setCPU - (you can change the max thru command line after enabling the module).
Now if you have patched the same with the oc patch , you have the module active (insmod works) , but another line of it in the hw_config.sh (patched one) does not become effective for me (some people reported it worked for them though).
The constant reboot which i faced was because i (with the help of SetCPU) had set very high frequency (causing the system to become unstable).
So inorder to fix it , you can do the following:
1. Full wipe through xrecovery
2. Apply V4 again.
3. Change hw_config.sh to add the insmod command to load x8oc.ko module.
4. Reinstall setcpu and see if you can set the max/min to safe values (say around 719 Mhz max and min as 300 or 400 Mhz).
5. If you see the system to be stable , well and good.
If by above , setCPU does not detect max/min (max should be 825 Mhz) , then you need to add the echo x27 > /proc/x8oc to hw_config just after the insmod line of x8oc.ko. (you will see some threads where sleep 2 or sleep 4 is also asked to be put in , but for unknown reason it did not work for me).
Whew!! that was long . But thats the way it worked for me.
For me when the reboots were happening , i had my phone connected to PC , but i was not touching the phone at all (if i touch , it used to reboot - but adb shell was working if i do not touch it).
If any further clarificaiton required , i would be glad to assist.
But before puting in a query , please try and give as much information was to what you did after which the reboots started (not just saying that i did the OC patch - cos for me just the OC patch never resulted into the reboots).
Thank you for that awesome explanation and sorry for the lack of relevant information earlier in the thread.
Should be able to do as you have suggested when I get home and will report back, either way your explanation has made it all clear and I can see where I have missed important steps. Many thanks.
Edit: edited hw config.sh, inserted insmod, sleep and echo lines. Stable ay 729, reboots at 748. Thanks again
good to know it worked !
same problem with my minni.... reboot again and again
Check your baseband, it must be xxx15 or it won't work because of different kernel
Nah got everything rite, basband and kernel, just when I apply the OC tweak, the fone would boot up, but freeze at lockscreen. IT DOES BOOT UP, BUT STUCK AT LOCKSCREEN !!! So bloody annoying, then stuck on bootloop until restore /system using xrecovery
Sent from my U20i using XDA Premium App
Don't apply the oversclock tweak from xrecovery, instead try editing hw_config.sh to have:
# x8 overclock
insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko
sleep 2
echo x27 > /proc/x8oc
I believe i had the same issue until i did this, then it was stable.
my mini max cpu is only 691 mhz or else the reboots and its laggy as hell. LIKE all your work every wear
have your lovely MDDI on to it help alot but still scrolling lag. maybe fresh install via seus?

Hello,
I installed the new 3.3.4 rom and I wanted to install the v6 SuperCharger and after following all the steps and rebooting I go into the script and it says that its weak, and that values dont match supercharge.
The only thing that i did not see on the instructions nor remember how to do is activate a script and set it to run at boot.
Anyone running the script on the new rom, please help me a little bit.

is the script that runs on boot running on boot?
It does not seem like it is.
First make sure you have buisybox 1.18 or lower installed. Second load up script manager and and at the top hit "..." twice. Then hit menu and options and choose browse as root. Then select the data folder then choose 99supercharger. Check run as root and run at boot. For dx2 at least running eclipse 0.2.2 option 9 in supercharger runs it the best. Option 9 should be megaram with 512mb. There are two it should be the second one. Im running update 8 so im not sure which option it is anymore.
Also you mean you are running the ATRIX 2.3.4 right? If so has the audio problem been solved with that? That's the main thing I want to know with that rom since it has android 2.3.4 on it.

well im not sure what you are running but make sure that either /system/etc/init.d is being run on boot
I followed the directions, but when I go into data there is no file 99etc... to run at boot.
Did you first run supercharger. Run it but don't reboot the x2. And make sure you are browsing as root. You choose that in the options of script manager. Also are you running buisy box with 1.18?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
running busybox 1.18.1
Tried it like four times, and no go.
do you have root?
Are you using script manager? Cause that just odd. Just to be sure you're going to "/data" as browsing as root in script manager and scrolling down to the end of that file and not choosing the other data folder to make it "/data/data" cause it should be there as long as you first ran v6 supercharger and chosen which ever option that 99supercharger script should have been made.
I say unsupercharge. Delete scriptmanager and reinstall it and then try again just to see id there was a glitch. If this doesn't help then your pretty much out of luck. But I thought navens. Mods where included in the rom so you shouldn't need it(could be wrong).

Its weird because I had been able to run supercharger on eclipse, I will keep diging around to see what I can find.
Just a question... Isn't supercharger unnecessary for 2.3.3 and above?
Sent from my Droid X² Eclipse Rom + BNB Theme
I have the same problem, and no its not the users. I don't think it is working correctly. Or at least not placing the files where they are normally found.
if you run the 99supercharger script that is suppose to run at boot as root then rerun the "installer" script are the mem splits correct?

its quite usefull just not so much for music on stock gb blur. it gives you a faster boot and screen transission but thats about it on blur.
on elcipse 0.2.2 if you use v6 supercharger (update8 option 9), 98kickasskernal safe and v6noop nearly got rid of all the music skips and pops. about three songs per 85 on my playlist skips or pops if im not doing anything other then listen to music and it will only skip once if its the first time i opened the internet and then runs fine. but the 3 songs are complete random. and sometimes it goes to 5 songs.
without them running this phone skips, pops on nearly every single song on my 85 song playlist (i have 2 gb of music on my phone this is just my most used playlist).
so it makes a difference just not much on blur as it does on eclipse.
after I've installed the Spartan Rom 1.4. I've noticed a slower read then write from SD card. I've used the sd boost and set it to 2048 but no change whatsoever. any tweak I've missed?
using custom kernel and Spartan Rom 1.4. also on the v6 script on an Xperia active.

Yes i felt this too when i installed CM7 and Hybrom v6 once for testing
If you are facing this problem then you should get "Rom Tool Box Pro" go in performance tab -> SD Boost and set its value to either 1024 or 2048 kb,I used 1024 KB and my problem was solved,Tick apply on boot and click apply
Reboot after you change value
and yes do a full memory card using antivirus software like quick heal
I advice to be on stock Rom,its the best Firmware as its provided by Manufacturer and they knew it better what your device really need to be fed
Enjoy ...
Hi,
I have installed the devil 2.3.7. on my legend, very happy with speed and performance, however i've got some issues:
- On advanced settings-->scripts, if choose aufs the phone reboots then gets locked in the bootscren until remove battery
- Since a2sd is enabled by default, is there any why i can choose which apps to move to sd and which to keep? some (if not all) apps are runing faster if internal, in theory
Thanks
Hi,
I've upgraded to urukdroid 1.6.4, the upgrade went smooth but afterwards I got stuck in a bootloop...
Found that is was related to overclocking so I disabled this in the rescue menu and I could start up again.
I had some issues with some apps which is a known bug apparently so I wanted to install 1.6.2 instead but I couldn't access the "/data/UrukUpdate" directory.
Turns out none of my apps - with exception of titanium backup - are getting su access any more (not even the superuser app)
I tried fix permissions from the rescue menu, doesn't help.
I want to do a reinstall of urukdroid now but when I go to "Boot Menu" and choose "Developer edition" urukdroid just starts up, I don't see the UrukDroid Installation framework
I was hoping that someone could tell me the steps to reinstall 1.6 as clean as possible
thx!
b
Did you try to put the kernel files? ;o
1.Hold volume+
2.Enter the recovery menu
3.Browse thru the settings and enter Developer Edition Menu
4.Choose to flash zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz
5.Let the device reboot and you will see the installation screen.
Tip: Make sure you download Urukdroid 1.6 installation pack (rar). Everything you need is there. I'm using 1.6.2 because with 1.6.3/4 I can't install apps sometimes.
thanks, this worked!
