I have to re install my kernel and gummycharge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
No you should be fine if you just flash the cwm package by itself. Of course you'll be flashing the tarball in Odin, NOT a zip in your existing version of cwm.
[Verizon Droid Charge] m6ar2cel6o:
Do I have to wipe anything? Just install the cwm through odin and jusy boot it up?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
Im not sure but if it were me I would reflash the new CWM and then the rooted kernel on the first boot into recovery. I am by no means an expert and not even sure you can just reflash a new CWM over the old one

This kernel makes the Charge a no-compromise phone

Imnuts, I don't normally post but I had to thank you for the kernel. I know you don't believe in OC but I hope you keep up development of this one. My Charge can finally do everything.

Between an aggressive UV and UC to 800, it has battery life like the iphone (at least while using wifi and 3g) and runs 90% of what I ask of it like a champ.

For the other 10%, it used to choke on flash-heavy webpages but now I can just crank it up to 1.2 or 1.4 when it slows down and go back to 800 when I'm done. At 1.4 it feels like the Atrix but with LTE. I love being able to have it all in one phone for once.
[Verizon Droid Charge] reaeg:
FYI

In case this helps anyone, these are the max settings I was able to get stable on mine:

1400MHz; -0 (Got hot fast. During 30min of Stability Test, started at 31C and got up to 40C. I don't know how high it would have gone if I kept the test going.)

1300MHz; -75 (Stayed fairly cool. During Stability Test, started at 31C, got up to 33C quickly then stayed between 32C-34C. Of note, this is at 1300mv which is the max stock voltage imnuts mentioned.)

1200MHz; -25

1000MHz; -75

800MHz; -100

600MHz; -75

400MHz; -125

200MHz; -125

100MHz; -150

To test, I set the max clock speed at each level than ran Stability Test for 30 minutes followed immediately by 2 runs each of Neocore, Nenamark 1&2, Quadrant & Linpack and followed with a short web-browsing session.

I tested for charge death by letting it hibernate repeatedly and calling it from a different phone.

Currently, I leave it under-clocked to 800 most of the time and turn it up to 1300 when I want more speed. I have good battery-life and by moving a slider have excellent performance as long as I want it.

Thanks, imnuts!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
Alright, for reaeg, or others who have done a successful overclock, what programs did you use exactly? I'm running GC 1.75, and have successfully used Voltage Control to get a nice undervolt. During that time, I used NoFrills Cpu Clock to set the min and max values to whatever speed I was testing, to lock it there.

Then when I went to overclock, however, I found that I have to keep the min and the max the same for the cpu to clock to anything over 1ghz with the conservative governor. If I set the min at 100 and max at 1200, both programs will see that, but it will not clock higher than 1ghz, even when benchmarking. If I wanted it at 1200, I had to set the min there as well. I confirmed that my voltages for 1200 were very stable when it was locked there, it just wouldn't clock up on its own.

So I decided to try different governors, but either the performance or interactive governor would lock up the system and force a reboot in the NoFrills utility. So I tried Tegrak, and got similar results. It would accept my settings, but would not clock the cpu higher than 1ghz unless I forced the min to my desired value. I found the performance governor works here, but simply locks the cpu to my max value, regardless of the min value or cpu load, making it rather useless to me. The interactive governor didn't work in Tegrak either, however.

All I want to do is to run a dynamic cpu governor, preferably the stock conservative one, but have the system clock the cpu up to 1.2ghz (or higher) when load requires it. I still want it to idle at 100mhz and clock down when it can. I wouldn't mind going higher than 1.2, but I don't wanna overvolt, and I figure if the Infuse can run 1.2 with the normal governor, we should be able to as well. Is this possible with the right software, and is anyone running their Charge like that? Or do we have to wait for someone to make a custom governor? I'm happy with the stock speed for the most part, but I wouldn't mind a bit more, I just don't want to have to manually clock it up when I want it...

Thanks! :cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] robstamack:
So, I successfully installed this kernel along with Gummy Charged last night. I have no intentions of overclocking, so what is the procedure to go to the normal kernel

Is it as easy as flashing the non-OC kernel and rebooting, or do I need to do something else?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Manjews:
Boot into cwm then go to advanced and clear your dalvik cache then flash the kernal you want and reboot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] robstamack:
Worked like a charm! Thanks for the clear (and respectful) reply.
[Verizon Droid Charge] reaeg:
I had this problem at first. I wiped voltage settings in CWR, saved my custom settings in Voltage Control as profile & boot settings and then rebooted.

Now, it resets my max freq to 1GHz every time I reboot, which is how imnuts designed it but once I manually set the max freq in Voltage Control it scales correctly. I only use the conservative governor.
[Verizon Droid Charge] badams92:
Could one use this kernel to merely undervolt the CPU? I don't want to overclock because I feel like my battery life is short enough as it is. I think it does fine at stock speeds. I just want to keep it unplugged for longer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
Awesome, thanks that sounds like just what I need to do!

Do you notice much extra drain on your battery vs. stock with it overclocked to 1.2? Stock 1ghz is 1275mv, and 1.2 will run fine there, so I wouldn't expect it'd be much different...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Outsider2011:
I need serious help..ok my friend wanted to see how my phone worked oc'd so i dwnloaded this kernel, flashed it, dwnloaded voltage control nd tried managing voltages and the cpu..well i was on 1.2mhz and voltage was at -75 it kept shutting down so i decided to flash to the stock kernel again before doing so i wiped partician, dalvik and voltage settings it rebooted and then i tried opening handcent and all i get is that it shut down unexpectedly so i deleted it, re downloaded and same thing...then i checked my stock message app and it doesnt even open..what is going on? Any1 else have that problem? For info im on gummycharged 1.7.5 and stock pbj kernel..please help me asap..

Edit: nevermind i just did a wipe/factory reset now it works..but still what was that bug about???
[Verizon Droid Charge] reaeg:
Yes, it still draws more power even if it's running at the same voltage.

The formula for power use is c*Frequency*Voltage^2, where c is a constant. So if you increase the frequency by 20% then it'll use 20% more juice. It increases quadratically with increases in voltage.

That said, if you're phone's running faster then it'll get it's work done and drop down to a lower frequency faster most of the time so it balances out part of it.

I haven't done any benchmarks but mine seems to drain a lot faster at 1.3, that's why I leave it at 800 most of the time. That is, until I get that second battery to keep in my wallet :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] reaeg:
1.2 at -75 shut mine down every time. The best I could manage at 1.2 was -25. After a few voltage related shut downs my apps started getting corrupted and giving me errors like you got. Only a wipe and reinstall fixed it.

After you get your settings worked out and your phone's stable, I'd recommend doing a final wipe & reinstall of everything to make sure nothing's corrupted.

imnuts, LOVE the kernel you are a genius thank you lol now about those custom boot animations... :) I really want to get one on mine I can't stand the stock one
[Verizon Droid Charge] bcrider83:
Permanent root?

I love the OC kernel and am consistently running at 1.4min&max with no problems what so ever. consistent Quadrant scores of 2000 or above and no lag in anything that I do. Battery life suffers mildly, but more than anything I notice it when I am using the phone frequently throughout the day, if its a day where I ocasionally make a phone call or text it will easily last me the day, if I am playing games I have to charge it by ~4pm.

My question at this point is how can I make this a permanent OC so I don't have to keep going into voltage control and changing it every time I power on my phone?

By the way if you need a tester I am all yours as I already have all the files installed on my computer to get the phone back to factory defaults since I like to tinker a lot with my phones.

Thank you to anyone that can answer this question.

[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Something really useful I found myself doing since I got my enV Touch 2 years ago with it's infamous 4 hour battery life is to just carry a backup stock battery in your wallet, they are quite small and you won't even notice them, I just put my phone on the charger when I get home and when it gets full I put it back in my wallet and charge the main battery, works like a charm

SetCPU Success

I have been experimenting heavily with SetCPU and I have found something fairly stable that is performing nicely. I have it set like this:

1200 Max

600 Min

Conservative

Then, I set up profiles:

Screen off

800 max (I tried going lower here, but for whatever reason it crashed erratically)

100 min

Conservative

In Call

800 max

100 min

Conservative

Charging AC

1400

Performance (min setting doesn't matter)

Charging USB

1200

Performance

Battery <15%

600 max (haven't had occasion to test this one yet, might want to make it 800)

100 min

Conservative

Battery <25%

800 max

200 min

Conservative

Battery <35%

1000 max

400 min

Conservative

These profiles are listed in the order of my "priority" settings. So, for instance, when the screen is off the CPU drops to 800 even if the it's charging. The developer documentation is pretty straightforward about priority settings.

My voltage settings are as follows (mostly used Reaeg's settings from post #48 as a starting point):

1400 -0

1300 -75

1200 -25

1100 -75

1000 -75

900 -75

800 -100

600 -75

400 -125

200 -125

100 -150

I haven't been able to use the "Interactive" mode without it immediately crashing, but "Conservative" and "Performance" are working perfectly for me at these levels. It's dramatically faster in most situations, and I haven't noticed much of a hit with the battery life. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I found something that works for me. Good luck.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mbaran:
Do you also have Voltage Control installed. Some people earlier were saying that SetCPU has issues with samsung stuff...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Justinsimison:
No, I have never tried Voltage Control. I had heard the same thing about SetCPU but it's been great so far. I guess the most recent update solved the problems.

The settings kick in automatically on every reboot, too.

Just set it and forget it.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Justinsimison:
Console,

Are you really having stability with these voltage numbers?? If so, can you give us some more information? I didn't try it at 1500, but I tried the others and every other voltage setting crashed my phone within ten seconds.

I actually think the full voltage is not *quite* enough at 1400, as I can report one crash at this speed under full power. I can't set it higher though, and I don't know if that's a limitation of SetCPU or the kernel itself. I'm really not that technical.

I've also noticed that the "minimum" number is actually more important than the "maximum" in terms of noticeably reducing lag. At 1400 max and 100 min, you probably won't even be able to notice much of a difference.

Battery power may be slightly less when overclocking, but the processor pales in comparison to the power used by the display, even at "auto-brightness." It sure is pretty, but in terms of power consumption, the screen is a dirty, dirty slut.
[Verizon Droid Charge] c0ns0le:
No issues so far with the voltage, yet im still moving things around abit on power profiles ordering.
[Verizon Droid Charge] el_brio:
Anyone know if you run this kernel but don't overclock what your battery life is compared to the regular PBJ kernel? I have the OC kernel, but don't have the phone overclocked. If there is a big difference, I will switch to the non-oc kernel. If there isn't, I will stick with the OC version.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dmw2112:
Quick question - what is the default min Mhz on the Charge? I should of written it down before toying.

I don't know statistic wise what the difference is but I can tell ya I noticed some longer battery life going from the oc kernel without ocing and flashing the non oc

[Verizon Droid Charge] midwest9mm:
imnuts you are the man! just sayin. any luck on the boot animation?
[Verizon Droid Charge] midwest9mm:
I'd like an answer to this as well :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
If you don't plan on overclocking or undervolting you'd definitely get a bit better on the other kernel. I undervolted and overclocked mine though, and seem to get about the same life. There's no way for me to quantify it though, really hard to say. Undervolting is where you'll save the battery, and I doubt the other kernel is as aggressively undervolted as you can get on your own phone if you mess with it enough. Hard to say how much difference the other tweaks make though. But definitely if you're on this kernel and not undervolted, you should use the other.

But its easy enough to switch back and forth, just keep both zips on your card, clear cache, voltage settings, and dalvik and flash whichever you want in CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ChadZ:

[Verizon Droid Charge] calimansi:
RNDIS?

I've been using this kernel with the humble rom for a day now and everything seems to work great.

I'd like to know just one thing; is RNDIS support compiled in? If not, can the modules be compiled and copied over to the phone?

I want to do this to connect to a Tomato router and distribute my phone's internet throughout my house.

What do you guys think?

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
What kinds of things were slower than the Thunderbolt when not overclocked?
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
The browser for sure. Also, my go sms used to lag on the non overclocked kernel . Now everything is super smooth.

I'm sure it has something to do with the ram limitation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ChadZ:
Installed peanut buttery jelly time kernel, oc version dated 6/15. Installed voodoo control, saved to boot but it always sets to default after reboot. It says it saves to boot

[Verizon Droid Charge] RichardZu:
What foes lower voltage do to battery life.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ChadZ:

[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Is /system mounted read/write when it saves the file? And is the file in /etc/init.d when you reboot? My guess is that even though it says it's saving the file, it isn't.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ChadZ:
How do I check and correct this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:

[Verizon Droid Charge] jonbloom:
Is iptables supported in this kernel?

I've read that the wifi-tether app requires it to run. Something about the MTU or something like that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mbaran:
can this be run with the 2.3.4 leak?
[Verizon Droid Charge] syn87:
So when you say you can't revert on some voltage settings, does that mean its permanent, or can that be reset with a different kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
No, this is for the Froyo OTA only.

Yes, there is one voltage setting you cannot change outside of making the change in the source and rebuilding the kernel. However, if you lower the voltage and rebuild for overclocking, it creates instability at the clock speeds >1000MHz.
[Verizon Droid Charge] LANAtron:
Does this also include your new clockwork?
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Could you confirm that it does? I rebooted into recovery yesterday and noticed it changed colors so I'm assuming it does include the new clockwork?

Has anybody else noticed the CPU Governor's don't really work that well with this kernel?

When on Performance it works as it is suppose to but obviously I don't want to run my phone at full speed all the time.

When on Conservative and I clock it to say 1400Mhz, it still only goes up to 1000Mhz during normal operation.

When on Interactive the phone is LAAAAAAGY as crap an unusable.

These are the only 3 selectable Governor's showing in Voltage Control.

EDIT: I think I was able to fix the issue on Conservative but reducing the number of scales the CPU could switch. I reduced it to 5 and now it does go above the 1000Mhz. Before I believe I had picked about 7 different Mhz levels. But Interactive still runs like POO no matter what I try.

What is the advantage of bfq over vr io schedualing?
[Verizon Droid Charge] das7771:
could not get this kernel to overclock at any setting and remain stable. If i put it to on demand it constantly goes from 100mhz to the highest setting I have it at for example it would only go from 100mhz to 1300hmz and skip all other frequencies in between. Tried every voltage setting imaginable with no results. Constant lags and freezes. The only way I could get it to overclock and stay stable was to set it to performance, but then it just stays at once frequency which would kill the battery in no time. Tried different combos of I/O and govenors and nothing would work. Switched to kangfuscius and now stable at 1300mhz and other frequencies and so far I have encountered no issues. I was using voltage control Extreme with stock rooted and debloated EE4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] 24BlackMamba:
how is the battery life when using this kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Probably didn't work because OnDemand doesn't work...
[Verizon Droid Charge] das7771:
I figured as much, I spent about three hours trying to make it work as I enjoy and appreciate using all of the stuff you have developed. Any way to fix through software it or is it hardware related.
[Verizon Droid Charge] das7771:
Does it actually scale to different frequencies at performance, becuase it stays maxed out when I do it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thelandon:
I had the same problem on all governors except for conservative. Conservative, on the other hand, wouldn't read clock speeds over 1000 mhz. I went back to the regular pbj kernel for the time being.

Imnuts, have you contacted Tk-Glitch, who helped Nemesis with his OTB kernel for the fascinate? That Glitch kernel was by far the fastest kernel I tried on the fascinate.
[Verizon Droid Charge] das7771:
I was having the same issue with conserative as well. Never gets over 1ghz. I think I am gonna read up on making kernels and see if I can figure some of this stuff out. Doesn't seem to be a big demand for overclocking so I would like to figure out some of the bugs and correct them if possible. Looks like I gots lots of reading to do.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
I notice the latest market version of SETCPU also supports voltages now. Can SetCPU now be used in place of Voltage Control for overclocking as well as undervolting? Thanks.
