Any idea how to get cpu governors? I only have schedutil, performance, powersaving, and userspace
I think they're based on firmware.

Hi, i have just flashed the new HyperDroid v5.2.21 (Full wipe) and i wanted to know if i can overclock my SGS2 from 1.2ghz to 1.5ghz, if so how do i go about it?
Do i need to change the current kernel (XWL1)?
P.S ive heard its stable, but does it drain the battery?
Thanks XDA Community
Hello there. Yep you can overclock but you need a kernel that supports it. [url="http://gokhanmoral.com]SiyahKernel[/url] is a good choice. With that, use the Voltage Control app from the market.
However I know nothing about battery draining or stability... dualcore 1.2GHz mobile processor is more than enough for me, and the phone can get pretty hot under maximum load, same with the MALI GPU which can be overclocked to 400MHz (but since it has 4 cores and the phone has no active heatsinks it could get risky...)

I think AndroidMeda kernel already supports OverClocking...using this ROM for a quite long time...

Yes you can overclock and you can stick with the kernel that comes with Hyperdroid. I am currently Overclocking 1.6ghz max and 200 min. Not touching voltages though. Use No-Frills app to set it up. My advice though to you no point in overclocking as 1.2ghz is good enough as it is..And the kernel you are on is good enough...It is stable depending what voltage frequencies you use..I say leave it as they are. And like i said download No-Frills from the market..Set your clock speeds and that should be it..Choose a governor and off you go

No-Frills ? AndroidMeda Developers recommend Voltage Control (and I personally like it much more than No-Frills, too) with their kernel.
+ Here is a small guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036020 how to test your OC Settings, I use it when I am testing new voltages.
Thanks for the replies i will try out the no-frills app and see what happens. What would you say is the best governor to use? and wouldnt you recommend going over 200min?

Pongster uses No-Frills. The rest of the team uses Voltage Control. And to avoid any freezes or random reboots leave the voltage settings as they are till you get to grips with the overclocking. Hence why i suggested No-Frills as currently Voltage Control for me kept on reverting back to stock frequencies..And yes there is a way round it but it is to much of an effort

I am currently using ondemand and Sio as scheduler. You can not go wrong with that. Like i said..choose a governor choose a scheduler and let them do the work...I also do recommend Voltage control but No-frills is simple and does the job for you. And no i would recommend either go to 100min or stick with 200...I am currently on 1.6max and 200 min

I personally use Sleepy governor and noop scheduler, but everyone uses different governors and schedulers...
I think 200 min is OK...100 MHz is too low and 500 is too high...

Dude..he is just learning...let him take baby steps first before he jumps right up and wants to walk.... Let him follow what i suggested and then he can come back and ask for more help once he tries his new settings out...I remember you use to ask a lot of questions before..And i said the same thing..baby steps first before you start walking

Thanks for the support guys, and yeah i am new to this whole android/rooting scene so no-frills looks like a nice simple and easy option for now until i get to grips with things. i will try out the differen governors and schedulers and see whats best for me.
P.S Neo is yours running stable at the maximum 1.6ghz?

Yes my friend pretty stable. Listen go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817 and read regarding governors and schedulers..Pretty straight forward and good explanations...And i am running the latest hyperdroid version but i am using Siyah kernel with thunderbolt tweaks...For you i would use the kernel that comes with the rom and use the default governor that comes with the rom...When i was on previous kernel version i always use to use Kenobi...Not sure if they have it there or if Pongs removed it but either that or solo...

Neo when i overclock to 1.6ghz with 200min using the lulzactive governer and SIO scheduler my phone freezes i have to reboot it?
whats the best setup to run 1.6ghz so its stable for everyday use?
P.S anyone know if it drains the battery by overclocking?

Can someone explain to me what are the differences between all the governors in cyanogenmod 7? Which one do you use and which is by your opinion the best for best performance?

1.Google for android governors
2.read info on them
3.check which one suits you
4.Apply
governor is personal choice thats why you have options

1. Governors are dependent on kernels, not ROMs. Here is a short, but solid explanation about the most famous governors:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843406
2. I'm using the interactiveX and smartass governors (I switch frequently).
As explained above, the best for performance has to be the performance governor. But it's also the lousiest for battery life (sometimes 50% or more decrease compared to other governors).
3. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cpu+governors+explained
thank to you both...you got a thanks button sori that i didn't google it it's ondemand now...looks like a good governer...and smartass too...

Hi all, now i'm using vr- lulzactive with 100-1200 and stock voltages can somowone teach me what is the best governor and i/o for this rom?
cfq/ondemand are usually paired with siyah kernel

This is difficult to say, as it depends on your hardware, apps, settings, region, carrier and usage ... and what is "best" for you (best performance or best battery life).
So, you may have to check out the available governors and schedulers yourself.
Here is a very good thread about io schedulers and governors => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
If you don't read it already and want to know more.
The whole time that i have had the rezound i have had problems with the cpu settings sticking, and i read somewhere that using a script to set it works best. would this work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584508. and also since I have not really had luck with them sticking i would like to know what you guys think is the best governor, i was probably going to use smartassv2, wheatley, or pegesusq, but im not sure if they are the best for performance and all the explanations of them dont really tell if they perform in real life. Im looking for mostly performance, but i dont want something that will destroy my battery
edit: that link doesnt work, the download is missing, so what is a different way?
Why would you want a CPU governer if it wasn't to help with your battery life?

You need an overclocked kernel to do that.

well yeah i have that, im running cubed ics kernel 2.3.5, and i just want a better way to make my overclock stick and which governor will give the best performance without completely using up the battery, kind of a happy medium but leaning a little more towards performance. I guess I didnt explain that good enough

These are a bit dated and from another phone, but can provide a bit of insight into kernel governors and their behavior. Keep in mind a few technical points are different for our phone (different min/max clock speeds) but much is the same in general.
tl;dr Smartassv2 should meet your needs as a top performer while still gaining some battery savings. Try with noop or sio I/O scheduler. A modest undervolt, but avoid pushing it.

I have no problems keeping my Governor (Wheatly) set with System Tuner using the set CPU preference to remember after boot complete.

CPU under clocking used for saving battery but don't set low values otherwise its get laggy or inaccessible though.
Under clocking and over clocking CPU can be dangerous if you don't set right values. Otherwise its safe.

No. its not. the powersaver governer sets cpu values to low to save battery life but it is safe. You may find a little lagging or low performance.
