Hello guys
I'd like some help on installing the Undervolt for WB's 4.0.3 ROM
I'm on 4.0.3 stock kernel. All I have to do is flash the Undervolt addon and Ill be good or do I need other apps like CPU Master after flashing it?
I know theres a lot about it in the topic but its all untied and confusing
If someone could take some time to explain to me how it works I'll be really thankful.
dnt have wb rom but in general I believe ud update with the file provided n I believe u would need either set cpu or cpu master to be able to adjust the minimum value to the lowest 1 possible

So whats the difference between having just cpu master and setting it to the minimun and doing the same with the UV?

Hi,
for undervolting you do not need an additional app.

I want to understand the difference between just setting the CPU speed with an app like CPU master and setting it with undervolt flashed
Could someone please explain?
i flashed the stock kernel first but there was no option to 128mhz also i believe uv works without app...you can also flash the custom kernel and choose the least frQ as i did. i also have enlightment but don't know is that from overclocking to 1113mhz or from the minimum 128mhz or from the undervolt itself??

I think overclock/underclock is different from undervolt, no?
Hi,
underclock = reduce frequency = gain life
overclock = increase frequency = loose life = gain speed
undervoltage = reduce voltage for certain frequencies = gain life
With good settings for undervoltage and underclocking you can gain a lot of extra batterie life.

Under and overclocking changes the speed at which the cpu works.
Less speed means it doesnt work as hard so saves battery.
More speed means it works harder so needs more power so reduces battery life.
At the different speeds the cpu works at it uses different voltages from the battery, less speed needs less voltage, as the speed increases it pulls more volts from the battery.
The voltages it uses are controlled by the kernel.
The undervolt module changes the default voltages each speed uses so in effect a higher cpu speed can work at a lower voltage so it improves performance at no cost to the battery life.
However, if the new voltages are too low the cpu doesnt have enough power to run so you WLOD.
The UV module (and custom kernels) have been tested on loads of devices and generally are stable, however, reading the threads suggest that some phones are still vulnerable to the occasional WLOD using these modules...
Just try and see what is stable for you...
Just remember

but what causes the enlightment??!!! over or under clock?

Sir, i think you missunderstood the point of the topic.
The enlightenment which im talking about is learning the beyond the basics of undervolting you device and not a function of the addon

Just to complement, which cpu speeds (low/high) are the recommended to undervolt the X10 on WB's rom?

It seems to change from phone to phone because the chips inside are not all exactly the same.
They are tested to conform with stock speeds and voltages but can become unstable when changing these.
Some phones (Luckily mine included) can handle 128 - 1113 Mhz with ony a few (Very rare, about 2 a week) WLOD's while other people say their phones WLOD constantly with any change.
The best way is to apply the mod you want and check.
I seem to remember that the UV and the UC/OC modules are not compatble on WB's ROM, you have to choose what you want.
However, I am running freekernel 4.05 which allows me to use UV and then configure which speeds to run via SetCPU.apk.
If you install a kernel there is no need to apply the UV or OC/UC modules..
Read DooMLoRD's custom kernel thread, he has a lot of good info and useful tips on how to test which is best for your phone.
exactly, wolfbreak also mentioned in his thread about the incompatibility of overclock and undervolt with some devices.
unfortunately i'm at the short list of devices that can't handle both, for users like me he gave the option for stock kernel with optional undervolt, which i'm using now with no problems.
Thx for all the info guys! Now ill try the undervolt
I have one more question: everytime that i flash a update on the ROM i need to reflash Undervolt?
Samsung Fascinate CDMA
Rooted MIUI 1.9.16
Did a brief search here looking to understand how to operate overclocking kernals, but find it/me relatively limited.
I have installed and ran Glitch v11 and v12, played around with HL to LL, and made adjustments to undervoltage utilizing Pimp My CPU and Voltage Control. I have also ran Tweak (though not really a kernal).
My question is this,
am I overclocking when I reduce voltage on Mhz's above 1,000?
If not, could someone point me to, or explain how to achieve overclocking on our phones, and
which kernel and governor do you prefer for overclocking?
As an ammended note, I've installed Tegrak Overclock, but am still looking for a user guide...
Thank you for your time.
If you're the running the glitch kernel...use voltage control, not tegrak overclock...over clocking is when you turn the CPU speed above its normal speed..anything over 1GHz.
under volting is when you turn down the voltage frequency to achieve better battery life...
Any one clock speed may perform more or less stable with different under volting unfortunately all of our phones will vary in performance so one setting that works for one may not be the best for another so experimentation is really the best option...this applies for schedulers and governors as well.
I personally overclock as high as I can until it freezes or crashes..then I go 1 setting down...I then try undervolting different steps observing the stability of my phone...when I find what I like,I run it for a few days, then if its still nice and stable I will apply on boot.
The different leakage values are affected by the hardware quality of the chips in our phones which also vary..I start with high and see how high I can overclock..note the setting, then try medium..see how high I can overclock and so on...just as a reference..high leakage creates the most heat and is the least efficient, but works for most phones, while low leakage is the most efficient and generates the least heat and will work with not as many phones

How do you over-clock using Glitch and Voltage Control? I see that Voltage Control goes up to 1,300Mhz, but it's at 0 above 1,000Mhz and can be dropped down to -200mV. Is overclocking just the process of decreasing that voltage on Mhz's above 1,000Mhz's

come on man.. Clock speed (mhz) and undervolting are 2 completely different things.. Forget the voltage.. No changing the voltage is NOT overclocking.. You overclock by changing your maximum clock above 1000mhz which is stock for this phone.. Try long pressing 1200mhz and selecting set as max.. Now your overclocked to 1200mhz..
Sent from the fascinate that holds the record benchmark on antutu
No decreasing the voltage is simply undervolting whether it's over 1000 or under. The idea behind undervolting is increasing battery life, but you can't necessarily go and set each level to the maximum undervolt (200) you half to see what works. Increasing the processor speed is overclocking, stock speed is 1000 so anything over that is over clocked. As far as how far as how far you can over clock depends mostly on 2 things, 1. the kernel your using, ( for example if it shows 1300 in the list that means thats all that specific kernel supports) 2. It varys greatly between phones. For example with glitch you can overclock to 1700 but very few phones can run that high for longer than a few minutes!
Hope that helps.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Yes.. And the fact you say your running glitch and your max oc is only 1300 my guess is you broke your kernel with tegrak overclocks module.. Delete tegrak and stop downloading overclock apps. or any other root app unless you know fully the consequences first.. If after deleting tegrak, and rebooting, if your voltage control don't show a maximum clock of 1700 mhz, then you will need to reflash your glitch kernel

Neh4pres,
Yeah, I kind of feel like a heel. For some reason, I had a brain fart when looking in the 'General' section of Voltage Control. I see now how to overclock.
Regarding ost #6:
When I flashed MIUI 1.9.16, I did not install any kernel; so it was kind of a half truth in that while running 1.9.9 I did have Glitch installd. Nevertheless, I still have Voltage Control installed.
mkropf,
I see that now, and thought as such earlier, but needed some clarification.
Having so many issues with Glitch and 1.9.9, I'm hesitant to install Glitch, but interested to see if it runs better on the newer MIUI...
Thank you two for answering my newbie questions.

Re-installed Glitch v12 ML last night and have it overclocked @ 1,200 with no under-voltage...yet. Want to see any adverse effects.
I started at 1,300 and it locked up then rebooted within 5 minutes.
A concern I have is that now my phone will not Auto Rotate to Landscape even though I have Auto-Rotate 'on' in Settings.
I've scoured Sixstrings Glitch thread to no avail. Though it's not needed anymore, I also flashed the cleaning script just to see if it would make a difference.
Is there a work around or fix for this?
Make sure you're on the latest 9/15 version of the kernel. Anything before that will kill all of your phone's sensors.

That was it. I had re-installed the older Glitch v12 that was already on my PC. Deleted them and downloaded the newer Glitch kernels to experiment with.

Yeah, locking and rebooting was while using the older version of Glitch v12. With the 9/15 dated Glitch I'm at 1300 now with the following settings:
Deadline / ondemand
200 - 1300
1300 -25
1200 -25
1000 -50
800 -50
400 -75
200 -75
1.2GHz is the best I say if you want good battery with a higher frequency. 1.4GHz is the best for anyone who uses their phone alot. Samsung did add 1.2GHz overclock in their source.

Back to running MIUI without Glitch.
Things that make you go, Hmmm?
For some reason, every time I accessed the keyboard for Google+, it hung, then froze, and 3 of the four times rebooted. The fourth time I needed to remove the battery to reboot. So I re-flashed MIUI 1.9.16 (effectively removing Glitch) and have 0 problems.
Bummer, I like Glitch too.

You wouldn't want to use my voltages, I put everything way lower than anybody else does or recommends and am just lucky that it is stable for me but it causes the sleep of death for anyone else.
For comparison, just run JT's kernel for a bit and then flash glitch and try it... once you play with OC/UV and voodoo color you won't be able to go back. (you'll be able to but you'd have to be insane.)
I installed Icecream Sunday Final (very nice rom btw), but the phone lags often. For example, when I unlock it, it can be frustratingly long to be able to launch any applications right away. There is always at least 100mb of ram free, so I am not sure what causes this.
Does anyone have any advice? Has this happened to any other ICS users?
Are you using an OC Kernel?
If so, I read around here on the forums that you should increase your minimum CPU speed a bit and that should clear up the lag when unlocking the phone. Haven't tried it myself since I am running theMyth - ICS Lite, but am going to go back to Cyanogenmod (once of the things that peeved me on Cyanogen was exactly this; lag after unlock).
Hope this helps

hi you have to flash a kernel (you ll find all the information needed in the ic sunday topic)
i did do that and its far better
Either you set your min. frequenzy to 245Mhz or just use smartass gov. @ 122Mhz. I prefer smartass @ 122Mhz and there no lag.
PS: I´m using the same rom but with SlaidFastMod V2
I'm having wake-up lag too! But I already gave up thinking that the SGA's CPU just sucks. Thanks for this info GerasVille, I did not think to tinker with the System settings of CyanoGen because of the "Dragons Ahead" prompt. I will try this smartass setting to see if the wake-up lag will be removed. It sucks when I have to send an emergency SMS and my phone is lagging like hell.
Anyway so let me get this straight. Does having the minimum CPU clocked at 122mhz mean that if the device is inactive, it dynamically clocks down the CPU to 122mhz to save battery? Hence the wake-up lag is caused by the CPU being clocked back up?
I'm also gonna try out slaidfastmod to see if it makes it even better.
You can put up with the lag and save a tiny bit of battery life, or speed up the CPU and lose some battery life. Whichever you feel is more useful. Personally I don't mind the small unlock delay. Happens on most phones low powered anyway.

hey guys i install custom karnel on my xpera mini...now i can overclock up to 2 ghz..i just wanted to know pros and cons of overclocking..
pros- increased speed and less lagging,
cons- short battery time, increased temprature.
Is it possible to underclock it to get more battery or shelf life from the phone?
we can overclock and underclock if we install custom karnel..

Overclock will give you temporary boosts and lets you to showoff, and to get super high benchmark scores , but its not for regular use
Overclocking reduces battery performance and increases heating of device, which might cause your device to get unstable
and of course high temp = bad for the hardware so be careful
My SE mini works very well at 1610 Mhz.No crash,no instability but I use high frequency for max 2-3 hours or when I want to play without lagging
Pros
Immensely fast speed
Massive score on Quadrant
No lag or crashes
Cons
Battery life goes down fast
Phone temp goes up - Massive problem
Phone might get bricked if the phone gets unstable (Happened to my friend)
I only overclock my phone whenever I play games or need to switch between apps constantly. Though I always keep on 1024 as that is the default setting
Recently I overclocked to 2ghz was chkin stability and gosh I burned my battery, its workin but fone keeps restarting n I had to buy new one!! Dis is d con
Pro: faster n better performance!!
Overclock can cuz serious damage too!! But its fine to showoff a lil but in controlled envionment for a short tym!

Overclocking is not actually advisable because there are chances that it will affect your phone and might screw it up in the long run .
Battery drain is inevitable and you will experience it .
Phone will heat up
It may not be good for the other internal components because of the over heat-unlike computers a mobile is not actually equipped with much of cooling system.
There is a good reason why the manufacturer has set a clock speed ,otherwise isn't it better for them to just overclock a phone and sell it for a higher price ?
People who design the custom kernels are just telling the maximum possible value they could overclock to.
Pros-
Bigger numbers
Little more faster performance
it recommended to not overclock always..just overclock when you really need it..
What are peoples thoughts on a modest overclock to bring me back up to the performance I am used to?
Say taking an ACTIVE up to 1300 or so.
With these new NON-OC kernels, are they undervolted? I have seen claims of absolutely massive battery life and I'm reasonably sure some of those were using cpu throttling and an overclock.
So confused at this point. Also heard some of the newer ACTIVE handsets cannot even be rooted.

As in most things if you not overdo it you can enjoy the benefits of better performance without risking your phone.My xperia mini is running up to 1200 (1024 stock). Also minimum speed 122 instead of 245.So better performance when you need it and lower consumption when phone is sleeping.Overall i got the same battery life, 2-3 days as with stock rom.The best thing to do is get an app that lets you make profiles.Like when screen is off min cpu 122 - max cpu 384 etc...
I don't know about these new kernels you're talking about but cpu throttling is something stock kernels do also (if by cpu throttling you mean cpu speed adjustment)
[Q] best ROM for best Batterylife+ other tips&tricks to do it more battery friendly?
Hi!
I was wondering if someone can recommend the most battery friendly ROM out there for the moment for Xperia S?
I wonder since I have had both GB and ICS from Sony and I don't feel that they are that good as the Xperia Play was or are that smooth as users write that it is, it jsut feels like it's a hype about all that :/
And for the moment I got KA's latest ROM+kernel and it isn't good enough battery wise, and I'm now wondering, if someone can give me tips about the most battery friendly ROM out there for Xperia S or if Custom-ROM users can report their batterylife and with which ROM and Kernel+ if you use some other tweaks.
and more than ROM+kernel, feel free to give me other tips and tricks about saving batterylife.
For the moment I have turned the light down as much as I can, don't have any live wallpaper, turned ouf Data+everything else and it's still eating battery and the device battery life is the worst in my whole phone history, even my Nokia 3310 was doing better than this :/
Thanks in advance for answers.

decreasing CPU speed and LCD brightness !!!
hey bro...how are you...first i want to tell you that i had the same problem...upgrading to android 4 was terrible cuz i had just 300 mb ram free...on gingerbread i had 400-500mb free...
2) the performance of gb is much better than ics...so after trying some kernels...different roms...i just hold my way from changing roms e.t.c.
i decided to flash the ( KA10 speed rom+ics kernel) ..first you have to unlock your bootloader and root your device..
here comes the interesting part....download CPU tuner...free of charge!!!!
and set the min. frequence of your cpu to 192MHz and max 1GHz.......1GHz is totally enough...decrease the profiles you youse....like the screen off ...set it to just 192MHz single core!!!!
BTW all settings are with just one core running.
after testing these setting i got this result:
2 days 19 hours 52 min 34 sec with Battery...still 30%::::
Display was 1 hour and 23 min on with a brightness of 25% ...totally enough...at night when chatting on whats app...brightness 0% and everything is clear.
music player 2 hours
calling 37 min.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
so with stock ICS without changing anything..and without a cpu tuner:
13 hours 18 min 3 s with battery
i got
display 25 % just 39 min on
music 20 min
and calling 17 min
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
in few words...if you don't use your phone much ...these setting are very helpful for you....or you can decrease it a bit more...
and if you need speed you can boost it up with a click.
with 192 MHz singlecore...you get perfect sound with music player screen off and its fluent and smooth playing...
IN fact:
less speed---more battery life--not so smooth --but ok
more speed ----less battery life---soo smooth like baby oil..hehe...and Nitro .
_________________________________________________________________________________________
use the speed of xperia s on demand....i mean just when you need it.
i hope i helped you out

in few words...if you don't use your phone much ...these setting are very helpful for you....or you can decrease it a bit more...
and if you need speed you can boost it up with a click.
with 192 MHz singlecore...you get perfect sound with music player screen off and its fluent and smooth playing...
IN fact:
less speed---more battery life--not so smooth --but ok
more speed ----less battery life---soo smooth like baby oil..hehe...and Nitro .

Oh, tanks a bunch, it really helped me a lot since I didn't even thought about this, and I will use CPU tuner without eving consider not to and it was the best advice i have eard in a real long time, and i can leave with the none-smoothness and I bet it will perform even better with that app on JB when CM10 is more stable so I definitely gonna go with your advice and thanks once again, I really appreciate it a real lot!
And you really did helped me out since i bet this is all it needs since the hardware is very battery hungry and don't that battery friendly at all as you wrote
Only time I bet that we gonna use it is when we can hook the phone up as a computer with the Linux-project that is going on, other than that, I don't feel that I have the need of this power more than in games when playing, and when it comes to get the better resolution and smoothness through HDMI to the TV, especially with the XBMC-app running
Thanks once again a bunch!
another advice
hey bro again...
sorry for the double post...but i have no permission to change my own post...anyway..
I just wanted to give you another hint for even more battery life..
a few minutes ago...i read the new Speed Kernel v3.1
it has VOLTAGE CONTROL....you can control the voltage "the energy that your battery "eats","uses" control.
doom kernel also has this feature in his own kernel..but believe me you will have just failure and errors with doom lords kernel.
i respect his work..but i just want to help you ..from my own experience.
so speed kernel has a flash able and also a fastboot file...but a advice you to use the flash method.
dont forget.....use it at your own risk.

Thanks once again and thanks for sharing your experience, I guess I will flash it tomorrow since it's one hour past midnight here and I guess that the CPU tuner has voltage control or I will have to search around some for an app that can help me
And I guess that no one is sorry for that double post of yours since it's really helping me out

Try editing build.prop (if you're rooted), there are lots of tweaks that can help you improve your battery life.
