[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Yeah, basically. I mean, it is a very common practice for phone designers to put a chip in that natively clocks much higher than they plan on using, then just throttle it back. It is a proven fact that a 400mhz chip running at 200mhz will pull less power than a chip designed to run at 200mhz. Our main proccessors, the Hummingbird, are the same way, they are designed with a native clock higher than 1GHz, but are throttled back to 1GHz, as that uses less power than a chip natively clocked at 1GHz. What is the native clock of the Hummingbird proccessor, I don't know for sure, but you can bet it is higher than 1GHz.

Update!!!

Control Freak 0.5b is LIVE!!!!

Changelog is in the OP! Chip in if you want!

Also, I need someone to test this version on a kernel that does NOT support GPU oc!! I have not tested it yet, so someone please test it and let me know of any issues!!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] neubauej:
Fyi, im on a talon test with gpu oc, and cf 5b fc's every time for me.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Which Talon test version are you running?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] neubauej:
Tried on 0.2.3 t1 and t4
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
What is the max clock limit on those kernels? I am running Talon 0.3.1T1, and it is limited to 1.2GHz. The number of available states is the most likely culprit.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Ok, just found a bug, added it to the known issues section of OP. For whatever reason, on gpu oc enabled kernels, the gpu clock read out will disappear at random on random states. Opening a state will always bring its readout back, and closing it may cause it to disappear again, or it may cause another state's readout to disappear. May be due to a glitch in the code to hide controls for non-gpu oc enabled kernels. I am looking into it, although it may take a little, just had to fix the brakes on my vehicle, so it may be a few days before I feel up to it.

Note, for those who may not have grasped this fact yet, this does not affect the performance on non-gpu-oc kernels. Doesn't really affect performance on gpu-oc-enabled kernels, either, just minorly annoying, as the settings are still being saved and applied correctly.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] komoornik:
Really nice app.

Shame I had to set the minimum freq manually - i thought if i tick out the 100 MHz in app it will not use it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Thanks! Yeah, for whatever reson, these kernels will still use the 100mhz state, even if it is disabled. I have even tried disabling all states except for the highest, and it still will scale to 100mhz before going to sleep.

I may look into adding a control for min frequency, haven't decided yet, don't know how many people will use it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] komoornik:
Yeah, it uses 100 Mhz but just for couple of seconds.

I just like to set 200 MHz as my minimum frequency, coz i can see my phone is being smoother.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bballer182:
Little bug...

Now that the GPU o/c is available. Sometimes the GPU oc status is not displayed randomly within the app. Lets say all but the 400mhz states have the GPU status displayed. I select the 400 state to see what the GPU status is and then close it. The 400 MHz state will display now another state will not be displaying. Repeat same process on that state now another state stops displaying...

Other than that I like CF way better than VC.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Yeah, that is a known issue. I am in the process of tracking down what is causing it. Due to the randomness of it, it is proving difficult to find.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bballer182:
Randomness.... gotta love it!!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ggonzalez7777:
Anyone know any ideal settings for the GPU? I got 300MHz across the board but I'm wondering if it will stay stable or damage if I push it to the maximum.

Sent using tiny little gnomes.....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aalh:
the ones that work best for you are the best ones

all cappys are different

and GPU oc is young
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Like aalh said, these phones are individuals, so what works best for one person may not work best across the board. Personally, I am running an oc of 400mhz on 1.4, 375 on 1000, etc, and it is super stable, but again ymmv. Also, gpu oc is very young, and we are still testing to see what it will/won't do. Keep in mind though, that the "native" clock speed of the gpu chip in these phones is 400mhz, and samsung underclocked it to 200. One more note of interest is that existz's talon kernel locks the fps at 56, so you are unlikely to see drastic improvements even with drastic overclocks. That being said, I can reliably, tested over about twenty runs, increase my quadrant score by about 500 points with a 400mhz overclock.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] squishy5:
is increasing the gpu clock from 200mhz to 325mhz safe and stable

[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
No kidding! That's why I posted a new rule in the OP. Of course, no one bothers to read the op apparently, so I will put it here.

Read the ENTIRE OP plus the last few pages BEFORE asking a question!! I don't mind helping people and sharing what I know, but answering the same question on almost every page gets old.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sstarre:
Glad at least you understood my point, Shane...:D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aalh:
ohgeeze:rolleyes::eek:;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Ok, now that we have established a rw rule, let's get back to Control Freak discussion, shall we?

I am still working on the gpu clock layout bug. It is very annoying, due to the randomness, I have so far been unable to track down the underlying cause. Gotta love software bugs!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikalCarbine:
For some reason this app has a tendency to lock my phone (running Apex 7.2 with Talon kernel) and reboot it when setting the 1GHz voltage to 1.1v whereas I ran 1.2GHz at 1.1v on unhelpfulkernal via the freq_volt table in Andromeda. Maybe the clocks and voltages never stuck with that kernel? I can ramp all of the other frequency step voltages down to my old values
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Does it lock while the app is running, or does it lock on reboot after applying the undervolt?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ggonzalez7777:
Thanks man, you're right, I'm able to oc all the way up 400 on all states and its still stable. Thanks for your awesome app!!!

Sent using tiny little gnomes.....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikalCarbine:
I've just been using "apply for now," to test out the settings. Most of the time it'll freeze in the app after setting it, other times later on suggesting instability. I just don't get why I can't use my old voltage settings unless they never actually were setting
[Captivate Themes and Apps] j-a-c-k:
Hi shane87!

Can you implement script execution delay?

Something like ...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Njcki:
Are you seeing doubled fps in 3D benchmark? If not, your kernel is not able to OC your gpu anche you're overclocking NOTHING
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aalh:
very wrong

the FPS are capped, they will not go up, but response and smoothness will
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Njcki:
Yes, they're capped. But they're capped to 56fps.

A

serious

benchmark is glbenchmark, it normally stays around 30fps on our sgs. Try it ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aalh:
performance does not scale linearly with clock speed

this has been known longer than smartphones have existed
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Njcki:
Yea, not linearly. But if my clock is 200% the original, i expect (at least) an improvement of 50% :) instead i can't see any difference
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aalh:
well, I dont run benchmarks, I use my phone

and that shows a difference;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Njcki:
I do not want to provoke controversy, but the performance of the GPU are measured in frames per second, and these are the same before and after.

END our of discussion.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Seems like sparking controversy is exactly what you want to do lol! :)

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Alexstarfire:
I just had a question about the GPU clocks. I tried changing the GPU clocks to various speeds and it seems to do nothing. After reading some of the posts on here about it it seems that perhaps my phone just isn't capable of changing the GPU speed. That's perfectly fine with me if that is the case, but IDK. I have a Samsung Captivate. Perhaps a list of compatible phones could be made to ease the confusion.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
As of right now, there are two kernels for the Samsung Captivate that currently support gpu overclock: Talon Kernel by existz, and Le Kernel Du Jour by TheEscapist. If you are running any other kernel, you should not have gpu clock options. If you do have gpu oc, you will most likely not notice a dramatic improvement since the fps limit is locked.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bmadalin:
the thing is i noticed in quadrant ( i know ....) at the last graphic benchmark (DNA string) that usualy has a steady 28 fps , that if I increase the GPU to 250mhz i get 27fps, at 300mhz it bounces between 25-27... How wierd is that ?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
I have also noticed that at certain gpu clocks my fps seems more "jumpy" bouncing more. Unfortunately, I have not had enough time to do research on gpu oc, like I should have, so I am not sure if this is a sign of instability, or if it is more of a "bounce" effect. For example, I notice the "jump" or "bounce" most commonly on the scene with the stair case, and I will see steady fps around 52-55, then it will breifly hit 57-59, which is above the fps cap, then immeadiately drop back to mid 40's before doing the same again. In this case it looks like a bounce caused by overpushing the fps cap.

Again, these are my observations, and I am doing some research(as time permits) into what pros/cons/dangers are possible with gpu oc, and what general effects to note as worrisome.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aalh:
the "bounce" could be cache starvation due to the GPU OC

just a thought;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Could be. I definately need to do some research on gpu oc, I just don't have any time. Hopefully I will have time soon, after my vacation in a couple weeks.

Sent from a rock on fire in the middle of the sea
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
I appreciate the thanks guys! As soon as ex and the Talon dev team get me some values, I will be getting started on the lmk interface.

On CF, I haven't updated anything, as CF is pretty solid, minus some glitches in the layout that are proving impossible to track down. Also, ex has removed gpu oc in some of his test kernels, as the gpu oc is not working right. So until ex gets gpu oc solid and added back in for sure, cf prolly won't see any updates, since all that really needs to be tweaked is the gpu oc values, plus the disappearing gpu line on the display, so until ex gets some work in on gpu oc, I can't do much.

Thanks again for all of the feedback and appreciation!!

Oh, so you are planning on making an LMK tweak app instead of adding the LMK to CF?

I am back on talondev as well shane
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
@bballer182 - No, I am not adding lmk settings to control freak. Control freak is too crowded as it is, and the lmk settings would seriously over stuff one app. Instead, I am going to write a seperate app for lmk settings, plus I am adding, at ex's request, controls for zram size, swappiness, and maybe another thing or two that deal with memory use/management.

@aalh - good to see you back!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C64c:
Excellent! Just what I wanted to hear!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LFact:
Actually, it's the opposite: You have to root to change recovery, unless you unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Unless something has changed in the past few days, you DO need to change recovery to root. The only way to root stock GRJ22 is to flash SU.zip, and you can only do that with non-stock recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Yes, correct. But how are you going to flash a custom recovery without root?

As was said before, if you are on GRJ22, you only have two options to root:

1) unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and flash ChainsDD's Superuser update;

2) downgrade to Froyo by flashing one of the leaked Froyo shipped ROM (FRG33 or FRG83) via the bootloader, root that and update to Gingerbread the proper way...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I agree, you need root before you can flash a custom recovery.

Your option #2 is what I used. I downgraded to Froyo, then upgraded to 2.3.3, then rooted with Gingerbreak, installed custom recovery using clockworkmod app, and THEN upgraded to 2.3.4 with stock recovery folder removed which allows you to install SU.zip.

It's a few extra steps over unlocking the bootloader, but it doesn't take long and may be worth doing to not have to unlock the bootloader.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Yup. Sounds good.

Or, you can just unlock your bootloader and never have to worry about losing root ever again... and besides, I haven't heard of any individual saying that HTC refused warranty service because of an unlocked bootloader...
