I think 1.2 GHz as a max should be good enough. As for governors, try conservative, although smartass will probably give you a good blend of performance/battery.
Whatever you do though, don't put the min as 100 MHz.

Thanks but I'm currently using 100 as minimum.
What's the issue of it?

100 and 200 use the same amount of power, hence same battery life with better performance. You don't even need to overclock, just undervolt all -25.

Using stock settings will give you both battery and smoothness on the rom.

There's no overclocking or voltage adjustments available with the stock kernel. You can change governor and I/O scheduler but that's it for now.

What is the purpose of I/O? Right now I'm using setcpu with governor set to on demand and a special profile set so when my screen goes off the CPU turns down. My battery life still totally sucks lol

Ah yeah, I haven't used setCPU since I had my incredible, but with those kernels you couldn't change things like I/O scheduler so I didn't know if you could with the right kernel. I definitely prefer voltage control and it seems to just work best with galaxy S phones. There's also Pimp My CPU but I haven't tried it yet.
You can read about I/O schedulers, but usually the default setting is best. You're possibly not really saving battery with a screen off profile that throttles your CPU. I've seen it postulated that with the phone being able to scale up the CPU when the screen is off, it can accomplish whatever it needs to faster, and therefore get to deep sleep faster (where your phone is consuming the least power). Not really sure if it's true, but it sounds plausible. Also, I've seen that glitch V14 has a deep idle feature, which I think in theory at least, is supposed to be even more efficient than deep sleep. I don't know much about it though or how well it's working on the fascinate.
So far, my battery life seems to have taken a bit of a hit with ICS too, but I'd like to put it through a few more charge cycles before making too much of a judgement.

SetCPU, System Tuner etc. You need to have a custom kernel in order to change cpu speeds. If you're not sure whether you have a custom one or not, try installing one of those apps and if you're able to change cpu settings, you're on a custom kernel. congratulations

That depends on which governor you choose. I'm going to go ahead and guess you're on an Anthrax kernel. Each governor behaves differently, but only the performance governor locks your phone to the max speed you selected. I'd recommend intellianthrax or interactive, I personally use intellianthrax or lagfree. Lagfree is a really good one IF you don't overclock, but since you want to run at 1.5 ghz, I'd stay away from lagfree. If you use lagfree, your phone will rarely ever drop the clock speed down below 1 ghz when it doesn't need it.

Yes you are overclocked. 1.18 GHz is the stock CPU speed for our phones, so any number over 1.18 for the max frequency is overclocked

You are always using a governor, even if you don't have an app for it. The governor tells the phone how to use your CPU, basically. See where it says "ondemand" in that screenshot you posted? Well, ondemand is the governor you're using. If you click ondemand, there should be a drop down menu that opens up that gives you all the governor options available for the kernel you're using
thanks man

I like to use the virtuous overclock deamon, it is said to work better. But most roms have not implement it here.
tammyjustin, I assume you're using MeanROM since 486MHz-1512MHz / Ondemand governor are the default settings built into that ROM. I just started playing around with Anthrax kernels and MeanROM a few days ago.
A word of advice if you're going to be playing with overclocking... You need to be aware that you shouldn't use any overclocking tools like SetCPU with MeanROM unless you modify a system file first to disable the built-in clocking and voltage controls, or you can use only the built-in controls. I was getting strange instability with MeanROM before I realized what was going on with the internal clock management and SetCPU (which I have always used). Basically SetCPU and the internal clock controls in the ROM were both trying to manage the clockspeed and it was causing stability problems. Now I'm using only the internal settings and it is far more stable.
MeanRom ICS 2.4
Hey. I have been using meanRom for a while now, and the newest version (MeanROM ICS v2.4) is eating my battery too quickly. I was wondering if there was a way to disable dual cores all the time or reduce the processor speed to try and save some battery. I have never attempted to change max speed or change the number of cores being used before so i really don't know where to start.
I saw in inbREDed 5.2.5 they have a "Core control in quicksettings, change to dual/single core on the fly". Is that available to use in MeanROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that is correct. but I text a lot and don't need dual core while sending texts. I have to charge my phone twice a day right now. =\
I was hoping I could on the fly turn on / off dual cores or change the CPU speed.
With previous versions of MeanROM I only had to charge my phone at night. I have thought about down grading, but it's pretty stable right now, i just want better battery life. So that is why I wanted to change the CPU settings.

Mikey did say something about his next version (which will be based on the Sprint OTA when it finally arrives) will dial back performance a little to extend battery life. Maybe this is what he has in mind.
Here's my 2 cents.... Overclocking is great for speed but it cripples battery life. I used to be obsessed with OC and quadrants, but then I realized I can't tell a difference from 1.2 GHz to 1.8 GHz. OC can also make your phone unstable. Honestly you probably wouldn't need to over clock if you don't know much about it. So I wouldnt spend too much time worrying about it
Do what you want though cause that's just my opinion

Overclocking issues

I'm currently on The Unofficial v1.5 and supposedly it supports overclocking up to 1.9 ghz. Has anyone else using this rom noticed that when you raise the clock speed that high it just reboots constantly? Its supposed to be able to support it, so have I done something wrong?

1.94 os max speed if u read it says 1.83 stable
sent from team perfections ics rom
The max speed on any device is always unstable. Actually most of the time the top two or three speeds ar always unstable. It also depends on the device too. My Note and your Note may not be stable at the same speed and the rom has nothing to do with it, its the chip in your phone. I remember I had a Touch Pro 2 once that most people could only over clock to 710MHz but a few of us could overclock to 786MHz. I have my Note running pretty stable at 1836 but I have seen some people complaing about bootloops at that speed so it really depends on your device. Remeber when testing out clock speeds make sure that you never check "Apply At Boot" in case the speed is not stable and only check it when you find a stable speed. Her's a video of someone running stable at 1890MHz

LWW Normal Temperature for OC ?

Hi guys, I'm trying to overclock my lww and I've been running some benchmarks to see the results. I'm concerned about the temperature - I don't know much about mobile overclocking and my question is what temperature is safe for my phone ? Currently I'm running stability test - cpu and gpu testing on 1.6ghz and the peak temperature is 38 degrees. What can you tell me about it ?
I'm not sure if the LWW has an SoC with a CPU thermal sensor.. Its probably the battery temperature.. Even so.. anything below 40-45 degrees should be just fine.. Phone should reboot on overheating I guess.. Most phones heat up anyways on charging so you should be ok.. As always overclocking will reduce battery life.. so will constant higher system temperature..
Thanks for the reply. So i guess 1.4 should be just fine for mainstream overclocking :fingers-crossed:

You can overclock upto 1.9 GHz using rage kernel. But it seems very heavy on battery. My advice Is upto ~1.4Ghz .. Temp. Is max upto 38 on heavy usage.

Overclocked Benchmarks

Hello all!
I hope some of you like numbers as much as I do. I thought I should run my handset through a series of benchmarks in order to see just what the dev community has unlocked within this device.
Here we go:
Overclocked to 1.72 GHZ - Governor: Performance
Cubed Kernel 1.2.5
Genome ROM v2
BenchmarkPi:
Average of 5 - 337.4 ms
Best of 5 - 224 ms
Linpack:
Average of 5 - 463.059 MFLOPS
Best of 5 - 510.427 MFLOPS
ANTUTU:
Average of 5 - 18396
Best of 5 - 19270
Vellamo:
HTML5 -- 1737
Metal -- 636
Quadrant:
Average of 3 - 8131
Best of 3 - 8364
These results put the Droid DNA well ahead of pretty much all competition for the next few months. I imagine things will get even better once AOSP Roms make their way to this amazing device.
So - does anyone with a higher overclock have any stats? I would be interested in seeing how well this processor scales.
That quadrant seems low. I've gotten 8254 stock unrooted.

The benchmarks usually don't turn on all the cores. At least that's what I think because I turn all my cores on and all on the performance governor and I get around the 9500's at 1.83Ghz.
I've received over 9k quadrant and 500+ linpack with 1.5ghz. Strangely, powersave gave me better scores than performance (stock kernel)
On cubed kernel 1.5ghz performance = 587

By the way, while my phone is stable on these settings it drains my battery too fast to be usable. I leave the cores set to 1890, but as long as I don't have the setting on "performance" I actually see decent battery life. My quadrant drops into the upper 9k's though without the governor set to performance.

Cheers for breaking 10k but why is your I/O score so low? (I've got 15k+ on the Note 2) Also was expecting the 3D score to be a lot higher on the DNA, kernel doesn't have support for GPU OC? IMO with those CPU / MEM and tweaking 11000-11500 should easily come

True. I could probably have a done a little more tweaking on the I/O score. The kernel used for this does support GPU OC, but I haven't found a tool that I feel comfortable using to OC the GPU yet. That and probably more realistically: I moved on to conquering other things once I managed the 10k score that was my goal.
