Desire HD and SetCPU - Desire HD General

Is there anyway to make setcpu works with my desire hd?
Visionary is working perfectly but I think perflock is blocking the speeds control. If I try to stop it with the menu command it gives me an error message.
Please If you find any solution post it... I'd like to save some Battery limiting the cpu frequencies

Is it temporary, as you used Visionary?

Since the update setcpu works perfectly with visionary. We DHD users can now disable perflock and control cpu frequency. Life is good.
If you set visionary to root your DHD on boot then you don't have any issues with things being "temporary". Well technically they are but you won't notice.

Have all installed on mine but i cant find a way to go above stock speed, is there a way to do this ?

What cpu frequency's are you setting in place to gain 30% more battery life?

Hi.
To use setcpu on the desire hd you should first root it with Visionary (set it to run on boot). Then you can dowload the app and launch it. When it has the root permission you should press the menu button on the main screen and use PERFLOCK disable. (set it ti run on boot too).
When perflock is disable setcpu take control of the clock speed.
My settings are:
When screen is off, speed is set to 245min-245max. this will grant you lot of spare juice from battery, only con is the 3 or 4 second lag when you turn the screen on. It needs some moments to put speed back to 1024. Not big deal if you get use to it.
Then when battery is under 50% I set it to 245min-768max. this will reduce the power need of the beast of a little 10%, means like 1,5h more standby time.
When power is under 20% I reduce the speed again to 245min-368max. In this config the phone react like my oldtime beloved hero...
I do not use the htc battery saving.
Hope it helps!

You can not Overclock the stock Kernel.

Thank you for the post Endr1, quite interesting.

I can use SetCPU, I can manage profiles, but I cannot OC the device beyond the 1024 MHz

I have tried several CPU frequencies with SetCPU (very nice and simple tool, love it!) and noticed that overclocking the Desire HD to 1459MHz seems to be ideal. With higher OC speeds I do not get better performance (if I may believe Quandrant standard benchmarking tool).
I have LordMod kernel + CoreDroid v9.2 running.
Here you can see benchmark before OC

nueOverClockTest + Msm7kCpuSpeed = 1056 MHz !!!

Just launch nueOverClockTest (it will put your CPU @ 768Mhz).
then launch Msm7kCpuSpeed (it will show 960MHz)
then exit from Msm7kCpuSpeed (our CPU will be clocked @1056MHz, you can check reopening one of the two programs).
As you can see on the screenshots the overclock works also if the phone is battery powered.
No benchmark atm, but @1056Mhz the phone is reeeallyyy a pleasure to use.
The overclock seem really working.
Navigon will take about 30 sec to start @ stock speed, but will take only 16/18 sec to start @ 1056
and how much does 1056mhz stress the cpu ?

I'm not sure that this value is correct, what' I see is an improvement on the performances and this is enough for me.
Btw the only broken cpus I saw in 27 years of IT involvement were some athlon XP powered on w/o the heat-sink, so I don't care less about the cpu stress.
where can i get the programs for this? can u give me a link?

Hi guys,
I have followed the process outlined here and it seems to be working great on the phone. Just wanted to know if you have any other programs that can be used to benchmark the performance improvement in comparison to lets say a stock X2.

Nope. For me is performing the same as before, even with Push and 3G enabled.

Mine works at 1056 MHz since Sep. 3rd without draining battery or overheating at all.
Yes apps run faster, video playback smoother even in WMP, no more glitches in music while surfing the net.
Most important is it's overall stable, no SOD or crashes here.
i have x2 freeze fr about 10 - 15 seconds. may be lacks of cabs install agter hard reset. who know. will need to re-install to check soon.
Heh
testing.. work !
WOW !! just tried overclocking a few hours ago...
I tried to hard reset to original MR2 state (without further removing slide view, panels etc whatsoever) and my X2 is more responsive and in lightning speed!
thanks
i really love this..its fantastic dude

So you use GT540 with 2.2 Openswift? how it is? also you use setcpu together? does it harm when we put it to 806 Mhz? Does it drain battery fast?
Also fixing the Mhz to 480 or 600 makes phone faster? Some people say that fixing the Mhz to 480 will make your phone faster...

For me it does. It's different to each phone and apps. Same for "how does i use my device?" If u play all time and watch YouTube videos, ofc it drains very fast. Didn't see any difference when i listen to music in backround.

I can't say yes or no. U can choose some different profiles for SetCPU. For example: your phone screen turns off and SetCPU sets the CPU to 250Mhz. U can save a lot of battery.

I can not say somthing about this. I didn't use 480 or 600mhz. I went straight to 840. Ok, with 840 i've got some problems with reboot and crashes so i set 806 and this works fine for me.
please can someone tell me how to enter fastboot mode on gt540 ? I tried everthing but it didnt work, and yeah do you need fastboot to overclock this phone ? (btw sorry for my bad english)

The best I've managed to get my phone running at is 825MHz but I'm sticking to 748MHz because it gives a reasonable compromise between battery life and performance.
I like to comprimise the battery life for the power, i charge every night so it dosnt matter to me
How accurate is the battery meter on 2.2? The battery meter on Swiftdroid is very unstable, which largely affects it by overclocking.

G2 benchmark... numbers sucked!

Just flashed enoms g2 rom and I cleared up what I can, tried making it efficient.I ran some benchmark tests on quadrant standard and was kinda disappointed in the numbers. My bests score was low 1100 after that it was 850,900, 835... very basic stuff any suggestions???
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
If you ran the benchmark on battery power, try plugging the phone in. Sometimes the CPU will underclock itself to save power. If that doesn't work, download SetCPU (google it) and make sure that the max speed is set above 800 MHz.
On the stock G2 ROM I was getting 1600-1800... maybe it's the ROM your using

Yeah this is the typical range for a stock G2.
Those scores in the OP are so low, its almost like hes underclocking or something. Or possibly a running application using a ton of resources?
i got 2064. but i was running virtuous.
im running enom's rom and i had it underclocked at 768 and i was still able to get 1609

Perhaps the kernel has an undervolting profile built in and it's triggered by a < battery percentage?

What should I have my phone clocked at with enoms rom?? I dnt have much running at all I dnt understand why its so slow, I was gunna flash the latest kernal and try that... clock settings please anyone
Edit: jus tweaked my clock on spareparts. I switched cpu governor from ondemand to performance and the clock setting. I put underclock at the lowest and overclock at the max highest... benchmark test put up a 2200... I feel as if this will drain battery like crazy only time will tell... what do u think, should I drop the overclock? Is it safe at that high number???

If I run with Flippy's kernel, CM 6.1.1 Stable and OC my phone to 1.8 GHz, I can get a Quadrant score of 3037 (screenshot below). With it OC'd to 1.4 GHz (my normal OC setting) I can get around 2500.

If I'm averging 2500 I'm fine wit that my current settings are Enoms Rom
Using enoms cpu controls
Cpu governor: performance
Max frequency: 1,516,800
Min frequency 245,760
I dropped 3 percent in battery writing this message.... my main concern is battery and overworking the cpu.... I'm thinking about downloading set cpu and clocking the performance settings then set it for power save after a certain drop point........ does this sound logical?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
When you set your cpu to performance it means your cpu will stay at max all the time and it never goes down which is why you are getting bad battery life.
There is no need for that.
Yes you can do that with setcpu

[Q] OC/UV Beater2v1.7 makes my phone unstable with default values, help!

Ok I need to narrow down if I'm doing something wrong, or if my phone is actually faulty.
I have the latest Virtuous Affinity Rom, and installed OC/UV Beater, and I cannot seem to find a stable setting, and after using the VDD/OC reset .zip's that are supposed to reset everything to normal, I still have the issues.
I'm new to the whole OC the phone thing, can someone tell me if my voltages are far off what they should be for my phone.
ALSO could anyone supply me with their virgin (or stable working) files from their MT4G found in the sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ folder so I can double check mine?
It seems below the 537600mhz is where I'm unstable. I stress tested 3 freq at a time and went down the list, that's where I would get the issues.
My OC settings in OC/UV Beater are:
Wake Gov: ondemand
Wake Min: 122000
Wake Max: 1459200
Sleep Gov: conservative
Sleep Min: 122000
Sleep Max: 460800
VDD:

I can think of 2 things.
1) Your wake min is WAY too low. That alone could be the issue.
2) Try bumping the voltage on higher frequencies up a notch.
Asking us if your voltages are ok is asking us a question we can't answer. Always start with default voltages. If that gives you stability VERY slowly adjust your voltage down a notch at a time, allowing time and testing between each setting. Never set on boot until you're SURE it's stable.

Thanks for that. I understand what you are saying as I have been overclocking my PC for years, however, what I don't understand is why does OC/UV Beater2 seem to not be stable at all stock clocks and voltages when I stress test.
I have now gotten 1.5Ghz through 537600mhz stable, however, I cannot get 460mhz through 122mhz stable at stock volts, but it is stable with the voltage boost I have added. I'm curious to see if maybe my default voltage settings have gotten corrupted or misconfigured, that's why I am looking for someone to fill me in on the stock VDD and Freq for my cpu.
Also looking for advice as to what I have set there is normal voltage for the frequencies there?
Just looked at mine on cm 7.2. Your voltages look a little low across rhe board. Clear the data on oc/uv beater and reflash your kernel.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app
Awesome, when you get a chance could you give me some screen shots of your voltages or tell me how much more yours are boosted?
Well, I'm on a different ROM now, but maybe this will help you. The voltages on this kernel are pretty low.

[Q] Why does my S4 overheat so much?

I am experiencing problems with high temperatures on the phone, in stock TW but then I got CM. I set the max freq to 1000 and it still gets pretty hot (sometimes over 50 C using ondemand). I then installed KToonsez's kernel and using SmartassH3 getting the same. It got to the point where it was somewhat uncomfortable to touch the screen. How can I get the phone cooler?

I tried the SmartassH3 gov, and all 4 cores are working, and with ktoonservative, it's usually 1 or 2, rarely 3. Which one makes the phone hottest? If more than 2 or 3 apps are running, will they all run on the same core, or will they take advantage of all 4?
turn on power saving mode.

Ktoonservative does its best to not hold back on performance when its needed, but also use as little as it needs to at the same time. Its mainly running on 1 or 2 cores because your not doing much, so its putting the other cores to sleep until a heavier task comes out that needs all 4 used. I use the ktoonservative governor on my phone, and i find its the ultimate combination of performance and power saving. When i run heavy apps, all 4 cores activate and it runs hard, and when im doing very little, theres only 1 or 2 cores active.
