HTC Sensation, kernel: 2.6.35.10-g9cef70d (htc-kernel@and 18-2) (gcc version 4.4.0)

I modified the kernel name using an hex editor

I can get autodetect speed, my rules show a possible max of 1782000 but I see the CPU won't go over 1188Mhz.

What am I doing wrong?
[HTC EVO 3D] joe85:
1782MHz stable. Not sure if NenaMark is limited by screen fps or what but I got 57 fps on the overclock. I know how I love to see benchmarks so here you guys go. I didn't run Quadrant since it is not very accurate as we've seen much slower phones post very high scores. Neocore is not useful either, a stock EVO3d already caps out this test. For LinPack and Browsermark I ran three times and took the highest score. I also set it to performance mode to make sure the speed was constant.

Battery Life

I have not noticed a significant difference in battery life since implementing this. It is hard to measure because it is largely dependent on what you're doing. Most of what people claim is subjective and should be taken with a large grain of salt.

Overheating

Most of the heat seems to be caused by the screen being on, I did not notice any additional heat. On performance mode after running tests my battery was at 33.8c.

Conclusion

1.2GHz appears to be an extremely conservative bin on these processors and likely has very little to do with yield.
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
I put it in tools ,temp and platform tools idk if that helps but it pushed it fine

Just wanted to be sure it worked so I put a copy in all of them Lol
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
On most the benchmarks it caps at 60 I've seen it hit 62 fps for a second at least for me
[HTC EVO 3D] everthus:
Battery life

Has anybody checked how long the battery lasts at various overclocked speeds?

I know that this is just proof of concept and all, but a 1.8GHz phone isn't very useful if you have to charge it every five minutes.
[HTC EVO 3D] Xlythe:
I have the same issue with my T-Mobile Sensation.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXceed:
Can't upload the kernel here could you? I only ask as I'm at work and it makes it easier than downloading a hex editor for mac! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] joe85:
At 1.6GHz I didn't notice any difference in battery life. Primarily what tends eat up the battery is the display and the radios (if in bad area). We can probably undervolt some of these OC speeds and actually save battery life over the original 1.2GHz speed.
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
currently running scpll_l_val=32 vdd_uv=1290000...

what do u guys think of the voltage? too high? too low? just right??? lol. any opinions are greatly appreciated...
[HTC EVO 3D] :
here is my hex edited kernel for sensation - 2.6.35.10-g9cef70d

but I have the same problem as all the others - cannot get the last frequency enabled, the 17XX mhz are selectable but wont work, will never go beyond 1188mhz.

PS I noticed that on the sensation (non 4g) - the frequency selectable prior to insmoding the module is 528mhz for Max, and we cannot select 432mhz for max, next one is 384mhz. However, regardless of how I set it, it will not work
[HTC EVO 3D] joe85:
The voltage that he listed was 1375000, if it was not "safe" someone would have likely already found out.
[HTC EVO 3D] markfostersbeer:
about the kernal

silly question but i may sound like a complete blond but in simple terms how do copy the new kernal over to my phone?

i Have no idea how this works and what is needed so any help would be great
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
wasn't really curious if it was safe...

more of a "is it too high for that clock speed? is it overkill and using more power/running hotter than needed? have others had success at a lower voltage and had a stable result?"

my goal is to have enough power for it to be stable and not so high that i am using more power than needed....
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:

[HTC EVO 3D] joe85:
Ah yeah, I should have gathered that from your post. Have you tried using the 1250000 @ 30?
[HTC EVO 3D] markfostersbeer:
ok thanks but where do i do the commands from and where to i put the kernals?
[HTC EVO 3D] markfostersbeer:
where to run the adb commands from to push the kernal and where do i put the kernals ready to be pushed?

also when i try the fre3vo batch command it says adb server is out of date?
[HTC EVO 3D] KingKuba13:
You will never compete in benchmarks with sgs2 because of qHD.

SGS2 with tegra 2 performs better than you think it will.
[HTC EVO 3D] superman_legendary:
Quadrant is completely unreliable if that's the benchmark scores don't equal real world.performance. Secondly if SGS 2 uses tegra 2 in the states it will be under par compared to other dual cores. Thirdly with sense qhd and all type of other stuff affecting performance at the moment. GL benchmark is a real benchmark you can't cheat fps. Its going to take both devices using CM7, both devices at maximum stable clockspeed, both at same resolution, and atleast 3 reliable benchmarks that go off fps to see both devices real performance.

Meaning until we get full root with stable kernels and CM7 everything is still up in the air.
[HTC EVO 3D] KingKuba13:
You should only compare your results to other qHD devices for a "fair" comparison.

The cpu is the culprit. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
No offense intended, I really do mean this for your best interest, but... if you don't know these things, you should not be rooting your phone, yet. There are oodles of resources you can find on google to tell you all about adb, read up on it, then dive in prepared.

Well, 9 hours ago :P

I wonder when we will see a fix, as I would like to get this working on my Sensation. Even without the overclocking, would be nice to preserve battery a bit more.
[HTC EVO 3D] CyanCrayon:
I got

insmod: can't open 'data/local/tmp/8x60_oc.ko'

I followed the instructions...!

Edit: Ahaha... Filepaths DO matter...! ._. And setting the slider after you do it...
[HTC EVO 3D] Jack E:
It would seem that although SetCPU does see the new available frequency, it never scales to it. Not even when the performance scaling option is selected.
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
Yup, were same in system panel lite, but the quadrant scores show that it's working
[HTC EVO 3D] Jack E:
I considered that, however on running linpack the scores are much lower with the higher frequencies enabled. The CPU appears to be getting stuck in the lower frequency available if it attempts to scale to higher than default settings as if i look back in quadrant after running a Linpack test the CPU refuses to scale up unless i lower the maximum frequency, the UI lag also present then also appears to confirm this.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Hey OP, can I get an output of the stock voltages at stock freqs? Also, in your driver, do you have a floor and ceiling voltage limit set? If so, what are they?

Thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
Thanks for this. I don't know if it works or not, but it is cool to be using SetCPU to try to overclock and actually seeing an overclock option. I can't wait until we get the bootloader unlocked, so we can see what this baby can do.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
mine works fine... i always move the slider all the way up on both min and max... this clears the old setting... and place min at 384... max at w/e you like... conservative/interactive governor FTW!
[HTC EVO 3D] coolbho3000:
Max voltage is 1450 mV. The module can be recompiled and this can be changed. Take a look at these lines:

static char hex_1450mv[4] __initdata =
"\x10\x20\x16\x00" //dcd 0x162010
;

Reverse each byte of the hexadecimal number you want to set the voltage to, in microvolts (ie. 1450000 is 0x162010) so it becomes 102016 > \x10\x20\x16 when stored in the char array.

Stock voltage list: look in the acpu_freq_tbl_slow table: https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/q...1d887a2d066d2d6c21b497d15709b92;hb=msm-2.6.38

192000 kHz is at 812000 uV, while 1512000 kHz is at 1250000 uV.
[HTC EVO 3D] xguntherc:
quadrant results at 1.8 Ghz??
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Ah, great! Thanks so much for the info, I really appreciate it!

Another technical question I have for you - I assume the cores will still asynchronous clock with the OC, right? Do you plan to implement maybe another set of sliders into SetCPU to play with both cores independently? That would be pretty cool!

EDIT: Sorry, looking at the CodeAurora stuff, I'm seeing 1.5ghz stuff in there too. Can you explain why? Is the processor in the E3D really a dual-core 1.5ghz underclocked? Just wondering.

Not that this number even matters...
[HTC EVO 3D] osi13:
Same for me. I received a 165 in Linpack running stock -- I was frequently getting over 100. I haven't been able to break 100 while overclocked to 1.8ghz.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I've noticed a lot of stuff doesn't work reliably with 1.8GHz.

Not sure if it's just my phone at its breaking point or whatever our current root method but:

-camera will launch and show nothing in the view finder.

-the EVO 3D doesn't show up in xbox 360/ps3 when media sharing is turned on.

A quick slide down to default clock speed fixes both issues, and a quick slide back up will keep them working...even after exiting, weird? Sure is.
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Good catch, I'd not even tried that yet. I've been sticking to the 1.5 until earlier today, guess I'll test out some middle ground

How far have you guys tried to up the voltage?

I'm at 1425000 and 35 still freezes. damn this sucks!
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
You can use 1450000 which is the max the driver sets or, according to the OP, you can mod the driver to let it supply more power. However, that can be dangerous and you can start to burn out your chip. I wouldn't raise it by more than 50mv, personally (1500000).
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Yeah.....I was trying to avoid going to the max to achieve 1.9GHz, but I just may push the envelope just to see if my phone is capable, but preliminary results are not looking so good lol.

EDIT: Just tried 1450000 and it was a no go. 33/34 work fine with lower voltages, but 35 won't work no matter what I use. Super fail. I wonder if anyone else will be able to get it working. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
coolbho3000,

Thanks for your awesome work! It's truly impressive, especially since you didn't have official kernel source to work with.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the min slider works for everything but the "new" frequency. Meaning, I can never set it to 1782/1782, only 1782/1188 (or use performance to force it to 1782). This seems to be a bug in SetCPU affecting the min slider?
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
what version of setcpu are you using? Mine is letting me put it there but it still uses the last frequency the min was set at

@coolbho3000: I attached a module for the 1.11.651.2 kernel in case anyone else needs it

For those interested, I'm finding x32 (@ 1375mv) to be very stable, x33 had a reboot after a few hours, x34 only ran a few minutes, and x35 only ran a few seconds. Sooner or later, I ended up testing them all @ 1450mv and I found what crashed at 1375, would always crash just as readily beyond that.

Still impressive though!

sensation

coolbho3000 Good evening. Have you heard anything about what is keeping this from working on the sensation? I've been playing around with it for many hours and i get the same results as the other sensation owners. 1188 is max it will do. Set CPU shows 1728 for max, but only at the slider, min will only do 1188. Even though max is set to 1728 it will not go there. When set on performance governor, or any governor, 1188 is max, which i assume is the stock (default) maximum. Thanks for any help.

[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Na. Right thread. Probably worded it wong. I used this mod and it worked smooth. But I also overclocked asap and while I was in root explorer I accidentally deleted a file in data/local/temp

It was three files one was the free3vo the other was the 86.ko and one that I think said mx something. So I was wondering if anyone could open up that folder and send me the file I deleted "if possible". The reason I ask is I don't know what it was for and since I deleted it I can't google to find out. I really don't want to factory reset,wipe reroot,reoverclock and setup my phone all over so I was hoping someone could lend a hand or in this case lend a file

Edit: Fixed. Just booted into the stock recovery,wiped cache,rebooted,rerooted via temp/perma root redid this mod the file is back. Thanks op for an awesome mod. Overclocked at 1.8 running smooth and nice.

I'm humming along nicely at 1.5ghz and a UV of 120000. (Not technically a UV since the default is 111800.)

Haven't really tested the battery that much. If I'm not happy with it I will try a lower frequency.

Thanks! Btw. Been using SetCPU even since I got my first evolution rooted. Live it. Profiles always seemed to eat more battery than it save though. Very odd. Might try them again on this phone, see if I have better results.

I'm having a hard time maintaining val=34 even with vdd at 1375000. 2 EVO 3Ds both sucking major **** on the overclocking front.

So if 1.5GHz is what these things were made to run at, then we're only achieving a ~300MHz overclock, which isn't that great when you compare against the G2/EVO Shift/Inspire 4G.

I don't care how much you hate samsung, that is still an impressive reading. If you take into account the 30% difference in screen size it would place their quadrant right around 4300 something though. Although yes, I already know all of this means nothing as far as real world performance.

I haven't OC mine yet, but just curious as to is there any noticeable performance gain? As in while using the phone such as browsing and scrolling through appz and launching appz, can you feel the OC performance?

Dual Core 1.2Ghz is already a big jump from the single core phones on a OS thats mainly made for single core.

I take it that we will see a big jump in performance when this is combined with custom roms when we get a working recovery. I can defiantly see this having a big affect on a AOSP rom.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregulator:
Bell firmwares are not supported. You can run greyblur on the Frech SBF (2.1.1). It's very easy to get greyblur on a Bell Atrix, unfortunately it means flashing another SBF. It's not such a big deal anymore though because we have a method of getting back to stock Bell if need be. My advice: follow Seven's guide and flash greyblur or gingerblur on your phone. It's much smoother and I found a significant increase in battery life. If you don't like it, you can always find the guide in the general section that explains how to get back to Bell's firmware. It's all very straightforward if you follow the guides to a T. We are lucky to have such helpful members in the Atrix community!

Hi there,

I have the same question about rooting.

but as far as unlocking ur sim code, I did it last week from a website. really easy. u pay $20 and they give u a code. the code is needed when another simcard other than rogers is inserted.

I used this website: mobileincanada.com

there is cheaper ones i.e. $16 but I am not sure if they actually work or no. I tried this one and it works and they have a good customer service so its best if u try them. :) cheers
