I have just bought an used LG as second phone. It runs Cyanogenmod 12.1 Lollipop 5.1.1. How can I know if the phone has been overclocked? The ex-owner isn't an expert so I wouldn't trust to keep the phone overclocked as long as it is.

First install the setcpu or similar cpu overclocking app. Look for cpu clock frequency or match to your highest original cpu frequency. Means If your device support to 1.8ghz and it sets to 2.0ghz then its overclocked.

Thanks. Indeed that's what I thought to do..install one of those apps and check. If it is overclocked how do I remove the overclock? Would a hard reset be enough?

No. No need to hard reset. Just set to your device default max frequency.

Thanks again! But if I do perform a hard reset then I can be sure 100% that a possible overclock is removed ? Sorry for my fussiness but I really care about this phone which is the same like one I had years ago and then got lost..

I tried asking this in the Megatron-thread but as usual, no answers...
I am a little worried about keeping my phone overclocked at all times, so I was thinking about downloading SetCPU and switching between 600 and 700 via that app. But my question is this: Megatron ROM overclocks the phone by default. If I download a 3rd-party app to overclock/underclock the phone, will this mess up the whole system?
Anyone? Would really appreciate help!
i've been using megatron & setcpu together for the past month.. no issues yet, so cant promise ma phone wont go up in flames i clock extra if needed
Ok, thanks!
My Experience: USing LOL rom with default OC gave me kernel panics ...so instead i disabled OC in ROm and wud then OC using SetCPu...ALso I dont know why but touch feels a lot more smoother on LOL rom with the lag fix than megatron....so i switched from megatron to LOL...Currently even with maxCPu 480Mhz and conservative profile..touch is very smooth on LOL

How do I disable the OC in Megatron? By adding the "minitron" file and then using SetCPU?
Hi all,
I'm a newbie in Android world. Successfully flashed my O1 to Megatron v1. Afterwhich I tried installing SetCPU to it and overclock to 806mhz & above. However, after overclocking with SetCPU, the whole phone's performance became more sluggish than the original Megatron 729mhz...
Someone please advise me on how to overcome this and make the phone speedier with high frequency.
Is there a way to edit some of Megatron's kernel to make it 806mhz on default even without using SetCPU?
Don't use set on boot feature, it will make ur phone get stock on bootloop...
So can someone tell me how to proceed with this? I want to be able to change between 600 and 700, when I please. Thanks

Got it! Tried last night without set on boot feature. Working fine with 806mhz and speedier than 729mhz. However my chipset refuses to go into higher frequency without freezing and rebooting... Is it due to my microsd card? I'm still using the original 2gb microsd card tt came together with the O1... Will changing to a class 6 or higher microsd card let me clock higher? or my chipset is just lemon at 806mhz?

FnH84: I downloaded SetCPU from XDA forum and can tweak the frequency between 600 & 700 by myself. Even can set profiles to govern the speed at different situations.

You are already pushing the CPU to its limit with that 806 MHz frequency. Do you even realize is 34% above the designed specs for this CPU? You're already lucky enough you got it stable at 806, and no SD card will ever make a difference, they're not related.
How come Samsung Galaxy Mini running on the same chipset offer 800Mhz as stock???
Man, I don't know! How come the same "Pentium IV" processor could come in speeds from 1.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz?
Can any of you actually believe that LG would underclock an 800 MHz CPU and sell it to us as a 600 MHz instead of letting it run at its best?
Galaxy Mini is obviously using a CPU designed to run at 800 MHz, even though it bears the same name. And that one can probably be overclocked to above 1 GHz.

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking bout the same as the other guy, that galaxy ace can run at 800mhz, and why not O1.
Hmm... Isn't there any other ways to push the frequency higher? Maybe supply more voltage to the core? I dont mind sacrificing batt life, I just wanna try ways to push it to the max~~
Hello, I keep getting random reboots on my HTC Legend. I don't think the problem is related to the rom because I tried many of them and still the same problem. I've read that it may be related to the radio version but I don't know which version should I upgrade to
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0
Baseband Version: 47.26.35.04U_7.05.35.26L
Did u OC's the CPU? Maybe your frequencies are too high?
Try with a lower one.
Thanks for the reply, yes, i did try lower the Frequencies but still have the same problem

What frequencies are you using?
have you tried to change governor?
Currently using 787 max. and 400 min. and the governor is set onDemand

It could also depend on the Kernel installed, but for a 600 MHz processor, 787mhz seems definitely too high for me. My friend has the same CPU in his ZTE Blade and he cannot OC more than 650mhz (obviously also depends on hardware).
What I suggest, is to OC's just a little above the normal value 600mhz (ex. 633/650mhz), and increase little by little the clock to find out at which freq. your phone start to experience spontaneous reboot.
I would also try the "smartass" governor with a min freq between 19/176 mhz.
Let me know.

Some devices (with 600mhz processors) can be overclocked to 864mhz (e.g. HTC Aria; but is overall stable at 806mhz).

I am agree. My Hero can be overclocked up to 749mhz (525mhz default) , but at this OC suffer from spontanious reboot. The max freq. I can reach is 710mhz without problems.
This is why I said it depends on devices and hardware.
Probably 787mhz is too much for his phone.
Just wondering if its a good idea to have both cpu sleeper and setcpu together ??

The issue arises if you have a customs Kernel as in T-mobile version for example
I am on Adama003 Kernel and it is overclocked to 1.8 G and if you use both set cpu and Sleeper it won't keep the lower values and it will kick up to 1.8 upon reboot even though you say set it at 1.5.

No it only increses your CPU clock speed...which has nothing to do with your data download speeds.

Hello,
I installed cyanogenmod a few months ago and want to overclock now. Anybody who knows if it is dangerous? Is it possible that your cpu breaks down faster because of the overclocking? which are the acceptable cpu settings?
thanks

It's not that dangerous, but your cpu will wear out faster than normal, because a highter clockspeed means more heat. Acceptable cpu-settings? Depends... most phones seem to handle 691 without problems, anything above that is luck of the draw.
Set your desired cpu-settings (don't use set-on-boot)
If the setting is higher than your cpu can handle you will start experiencing crashes. If you have found a stable frequency for your phone, you can set it on boot so you don't have to think about that every time you restart your phone. If you set an unstable frequency and use set-on-boot, you will get a bootloop.

So the higher the frequency, the faster the cpu will wear out, just because of the heat. I will keep an eye on that.

When playing high-end games, I always put the cpu-clockspeed to 729 mhz...
does this device have any custome kernel?i wanna buy it and i wonder if it has any kernels,mtk version is the choice in my country and i thought with a good kernel and underclock my cpu i can reach a good battery and i will be thakful if you introduce a good rom or tweaks or ............,thanks for your help

AFAIK Mediatek use DVFS table to adjust SoC voltage so you can't undervolt Helio X20, but you can turn off cores and lower clock frequently by yourself, read this thread and DIY (that default script will limit cores to 5 and A72 cores will totally turn off)

No you can't. That would require a specific kernel, which i think, we will not have.

the hotplug settings (that change the number of cores that stay online/offline) reset when you unlock from screen off
So far from what I've tried only tweaking GPU frequency/dfvs works using scripts
changing CPU speeds reset after unlocking from screen off.

I'm using AOSP rom and hotplug settings doesn't reset when unlock screen.
I've tested many times with GeekBench 4 show very low scores (2200 on multi-core and MTK Multicore Observer show A72 cores totally off, CPU temperature never exceed 50 °C) when use hotplug settings from Skinny boot image.
