I have cm7 with faux123 1ghz kernel. I've recently installed tasker and want to create a task which can put my processor at minimum clock, so I can save battery. I also want to know the minimum cpu clock value on which it will not crash.
Sent from Atrix 4G.
minimal clock i think is 216Mhz or somethin close....
for tasker, in the general android section there is a thread with the guide...

Quick question about overclocking.. I'm using Cpu master and wondering if I use a program app killer.. and when it kills the app does the speed go back down to default? Also any tips on speeds or apps that work well would be appreciated. THanks.
1st - stop using a task killer, you're doing more harm than good
2nd - many "overclock" to 1.5ghz with no issues, some to 1.7 and higher. This chip is rated @ 1.5ghz.
3rd - search around for apps, there's a few threads.
Would it be a wise decision to undervolt on ICS Passion to the usual -25? If it is possible without any serious risks, how can I go about doing it?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
use nstools and make sure you don't set on boot. If you do then worst that can happen is phone freezes and reboot.
-25 is fines. Can do more especially on 100-200 MHz steps. (I have -200 on 100mhz and -75 on 200)
Just test how much your phone can handle. Some CPUs need more or less volts.

Thanks a lot, I will try it out.
EDIT: I use ICS Passion and it has its own CPU governors to choose from, what should I do about that when trying to use NStools?
For undervolting i suggest you use voltage control. They have a feature where they apply the voltage settings after 15 seconds of booting up and they will notify u in the notification bar where u can choose to disable it if u had applied bad settings previoisly. As for the governors and scheduler i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817 extremely helpful and informative.
Hi, first of all i would like to know if there is any uncomplicated way to overclock the gpu (and cpu) of the x10i (adreno 200) or is it even possiple?
My x10i is rooted, xrecovery is installed as well as the fps uncap (54 fps). (but i dont want to unlock the bootloader!)
Also i would like to be able to set the cpu frequency as i want it to be, which (free) app would you recommend, should be stable and reliable (should maybe also show the current frequency)?
If thats possible, it wouldnt be bad being able to set the gpu speed/frequency as well.
Until now I've found cpu tuner and antutu cpu master...
Thanks in advance guys
First u will need a custom kernel that supports OC, then u can use no frills cpu master (free from market) to overclock
OK thanks, but as i read in some other threads you cant really go much past 1100 mhz (cpu) because it will get unstable, so i just want to set the cpu frequency i want (so just underclocking or permanently stick it to 998mhz).
Which (free) app is best for this?

Dont know about free but if youre willing to spend a little, SetCpu from the market works wonders

No frills cpu is free
So then i'm gonna try no-frills cpu control, but why is it better than antutu cpu master (free), or is it even better(?), both of them got an average of about 4,5 stars....
I've also seen that antutu cpu master (free) has advanced options with gpu control, but i dont really understand what can be done in these settings....there are no listed frequencies or anything.....(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.antutu.CpuMasterFree&hl=de)
I would say that other cpu apps may have more options but no frills is simple and elegant.As a normal user we dont need more than this.
Just my opinion
Works perfectly and has a nice statistic about the frequency(s) used
If u search xda forum properly u can find set CPU for free as a treat for xda members from the dev.

Thanks but i'm happy with no-frills cpu control at the moment, has everything i need:
- full control over the current frequency
- widget showing the current frequency
- statistic about frequency(s) used (total and last 5 seconds)
- option to set my desired frequency right after booting
So for now thats all i need, maybe when i want to overclock it a bit (future, not now), then i'll use setcpu.
Hi all,
I have a - stupid - question about kernels used by the DSC Roms.
The should be freq mini = 128, but is it possible to set this mini freq CPU without using a CPU Tuner program ? i'm using CPU Tuner to enable this mini freq. but this program like other ones use about 20 mo of ram, seems quite a lot of ram used to gain some battery life...

DSC ROM has CPU Master Free included.
Besides, you can edit /etc/init.streak.post_boot.sh
Thanks for the answer.
I uninstalled CPU master Free a long time ago, and even when i upgraded to 0.74 CPU Master was not installed.
But It's not an affair, i prefer CPU Tuner.
I'll try anyway to edit /etc/init.streak.post_boot.sh to see if i can use it without CPU Tuner.

Edit : seems to work if i believe on System panel ! thanks a lot !
i am on mean rom GB v45 + anthrax kernel included in it.The problem is when i play 3D game it run on 1.5 ghz and make my phone overheat even with simple 3D game like paper monster so i want downlclock it
using set cpu latest version(2.0.3.2 and 3.0.7 version)wth max 1.2 ghz and min 194 mhz but i see in widget it back to max 1.5 ghz sometimes
using system tuner pro, but it make my phone restart maybe there's conflict with the rom
using cpu antutu master pro , i cant adjust voltage but successly adjust the min and max clock speed eventough the min clock speed always going up same as max clock speed in antutu setting . Installing system tuner pro after adjusting antutu master and the cpu clock is the same as my setting on antutu cpu master pro.
if you have any experiece please share
thanx

First of all, the kernel in MeanROM GB 4.5 is a dodava kernel. The settings for OC/UV are controlled by parameters in the postboot script, not with apps like SetCPU and System Tuner. If you try to set them with those apps, they will be reset when the phone goes to sleep and wakes up again. There are some instructions for setting up the parameters in this post within the MeanROM GB thread, and the script has more information in the comments.
This post by mpgrimm2 is a good guide to setting up the postboot script parameters, including some recommended values. You might be better off posting further questions in the MeanROM GB thread if they are related to that ROM because there are still a lot of people using it that monitor the thread.

thank you very much for explanation
