[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Wranglersm:
I am also having the problem with the phone reverting back to stock speeds. I run Linpack and get the standard 35-39 score, start up the SetCPU widget and see that 1017 is the max, and the widget maintains that value. However, after an hour or so goes by my phone reverts back to stock speeds. I open up SetCPU and see that the max available value is still 1017, but the speed reported back is stock and my Linpack score drops back to stock scores. I have no profiles running and followed the directions to achieve overclock pretty darn specifically using Visionary, GScript, and the script files found early on in this thread. Is there something I need to set up in SetCPU that would keep the phone at 1017? Does it have anything to do with setting up scaling (default is set to on demand)? I was so happy to achieve an overclock (this is the first phone I've experimented on) and I want to see it stay up and running in an OC mode. Thanks.

4 days now at 1.593 ghz and no problems either, except obviously the battery needs to be charged about once a day instead of every other day. :D

battery temp has never gone past 39C even while charging.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
See my signature for scores and setups.....

I have also noticed the battery running cooler, and longer while OC'd...I can't expain this, but I like it!!!!

I have tried running up the range from 74, got to 75, ran ok without issues...had a reboot, but I think due to an app, a live wallpaper that was running. 76 ran pretty stable for about 2 hrs then is just froze.....anything above 76 will not even complete the gscritp process....

But hey from 0.8 to 1.42, and no side effects...I'll take it!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] isthisvick:
Set your temps

So been running at 1.42Ghz (val=74) for the past week now... very stable and temperatures were very agreeable until LAST NIGHT. So i decided to get cute and stream Sunday Night Football on the G2 (atdhe.net !!!) last night at a restaurant because i wasn't sitting in the bar section. My G2 got pretty hot but i didn't really notice because obviously when your streaming football your just thinking go baby go. So the battery dies and I get home to a still relatively warm cellphone. So spent last night tripping out as to why my battery was still in the mid 90s*F when it was doing NOTHING. Im assuming running high intensity flash streaming for a prolonged period of time will def increase temps and oc'ing the phone just compounded the issue.

Well today is a new day and my g2 nicely sits between 75-85 with moderate activity. With this lesson in hand, i have set a profile for temps !!! Just wanted to share a story of a Flash Intensive tail.... apple would be proud... lol

PS - thanks to the previous poster who mentioned you have to - dot forward slash adb (./adb) for you to push from a mac ;) Thanks again OC

My battery has been up and down around 35c but its been over 40c sometimes (a bit worrying). Right now its hovering 37c while charging and playing mixzing. I had it oced at 1.42ghz but dropped back to around 1.3 something. Why is my battery getting around 40c? I have setcpu setup as recommended.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Ran into issues at 74 (1.42 Ghz). It would shut down spontaneously without even showing the shutdown screen or freeze up. Mine is now set to 73 (1.40 Ghz). Been running it smoothly for a few days without any negative effects to battery or temp.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elreason4:
it seems to be holding!!! So far so good.....If it stay's this reliable I am going to be really happy with this phone despite HTC/T-mobiles unnecessary (and hopefully failed) limitations.....This phone has the potential to be the best mobile smartphone, at least until the dual cores become available next year....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Radioactive Death:
I'm running at 1305MHz. Temps around 29-30 C charging. I've seen up to 36 C while playing angry birds for an extended period of time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thinkjason:
So the overclock was working fine at 1305 for a few days. Randomly now my phone shuts itself off when it's in my pocket (or maybe freezes with the screen off?) I have SetCPU arranged to limit to 768MHz when the screen is off, so I'm not sure what may be causing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
I was running at 1.42 just fine, but I decided to just drop it to 1.2ghz just to take some unnecessary strain off of the device. This thing flies... and honestly, it flew before hand. Amazing device. And the devs did a great job finding work arounds for the root situation. I have visionary and overclocking automated and disabled the bloatware using nand method.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] unxconformed:
Any developments on adjusting the GPU clocks? It would be nice if we could get SGX 540 performance out of the Adreno 205.

The CPU overclocks have helped out a lot with games and such, but the vibrant I used to have still got nearly double the frame rate in graphically intense benchmarks thanks to that SGX 540...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
J/W... what are you guys gettin' in Nenamark? I just ran it and got 47.8 fps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Towle:
I just OCed my G2 and am wondering what a good temp is for my CPU to be at? And what is considered hot? Right now according to the SetCPU widget it is running at about 95.6 degrees fereignheight
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Radioactive Death:
Ran it @ 1.3GHz and got 36.5 fps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
After 102F I make my clock speed come down until it cools back to at least 90. At 107 I think is the danger zone.

when i try to load the script in gscript, it says, Error while looking for scripts in /sdcard/gscript/

java.lang.NullPointerException

I did copy the 4 files in the gscript folder and the vision_oc.ko file to the main directory but still does not work. What do I need to do? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Towle:
Did you save original folder to the main area of your SD card? You cant save it into any sub folder, basically it should be in the first list you see when you open your SD card folder, you shouldn't have to open any other folders.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Towle:
Alright thanks. What do you have yours cocked to? Mine is at 1.42 GHz, is it bad to leave it at that constantly? Or do you want to drop it to its original clock speed every once in a while? And after I OC is there any settings I should change in the SetCPU app? Sorry, this is my first time attempting anything on my phone so I am very new to all of it.

Also, if something were to happen to my phone because of the clock speed, would T-Mobile be able to tell that is what happened? Or would I be able to get a warranty replacement? Thanks for your help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phillyblunt:
thanks and a lil help

coolbho300 thanks for takin gthe time to do this, maybe someone can help me please? When I go to the data folder their is no local folder, and I can not create one using astro, am I just missing it or do I need another app to create a folder named local under the data directory?

thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:
I'm proud to say that I've been running my handset at 1497 GHz without any "freezes" or crashing.

It's been going strong for nearly 2 days now... :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Towle:
Another thing is, I successfully OC my G2 to 1.42GHz, but after my phone is on standy for a little while and I check the CPU, it is at 768MHz? Anybody know why this is? Should I have to OC my phone every time it comes out of standby?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] netscapeyahoo:
I figured out that I needed to disconnect the phone from the computer in order to load the scripts in gscript. However, when I try to run them, I'm not sure if anything is happening, it just has a blue screen (of death?) with the CLOSE button on the bottom..

oc'd @ 1.497mhz

just did it today, gonna run it for a day or so and see if it has any issues then try over 1.5mhz (1.516mhz to be exact)

val=79 would put me over 1.5mhz....i tried it quickly, but it froze backing out of terminal emulator. we'll see what happens

EDIT:

just ran a quadrant @ 1.497mhz. G2 scored 2464

you guys think thats a good Q score for that clock speed?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Great NY:
yea man, i remember the screen name.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] liberalswine:
I think anything over 1.4ghz is over kill. My highest linpack and quadrant scores were from running at 1.36ghz...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
My brother has a Vibrant (Samsung Galaxy S) running Android 2.1 overclocked to 1.2 Ghz and Quadrant score was over 2600. G2 score is low in comparison for the clocked speed IMO.

I also experiencing freezing when trying to back out of terminal so I just hit the Home button instead and that works fine.

Setcpu temp

Im overclocked a 1g 1017 my temp sometimes gets to 107F plz can we do a temp status cuz she gets very hot on setcpu over 105 then i just cut screen off to cool her
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
My clock speed is 1.47 been like that since the oc mod was made.

I got 32 stock speed.. Pretty decent I think..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scrizz:
that's fine...

those are the temps i get on mine at stock

Screens or it didn't happen.

This guys overclocked at that speed on the Vibrant and barely pulling 24 Quad Score.

My temp was over 107° if not at 107°. I'm wondering if the room temp has something to do with the phone getting too hot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
I hope this doesn't insult the dev of SetCPU but I would love to make a few requests for additions to features. Could we get either a widget or some kind of master profiles? By this I mean I would rather leave my phone clocked at 800mhz unless I'm browsing the web or playing games, and then I like to have it OCed. I know I can just open the app and change the slider but it would be cool to have a widget button or toggle or something like that that switches between desired frequencies without having ti open the app. It's lazy for sure but I would love it. If I had any knowledge of coding myself I would gladly try my hand at it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambala001:
I have been running mine at the 1.42 GHz speed with the conservative mod for a while now and my battery temp is usually around 28°C/82°F
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Anyone that has used the original poster's method should definately switch to the easy way where the only thing you need a computer for is downloading the binary file at the beginning. If you used the original method then you already have the binary file on your phone and there is no need to use a computer any more. Once you use "...the easy way" method, when ever you reboot your phone you can just open up gscript and run the proper files again (norboot then oc, or norboot then oshitt), and your phone will be overclocked again. No need to reboot to switch between 1ghz and 1.42ghz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambala001:
The scripts made earlier in the thread, thx mcp2009 are nice and easy to use, but you if you reboot your phone you don't have to run noreboot.sh for the first time its overclocked. And you don't have to reboot to switch speeds either, that's what the noreboot.sh is for.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
I guess I worded that a little wrong but thats basically what I was trying to say. When I said rebooting the phone I meant rebooting for other reasons. I like to reboot once a day and give the phone a little break. Didn't realize that thread that you linked existed. It would have been some help for me. I had to figure out this little convenience on my own and I'm rather new to this stuff. Would definately like to learn a lot more.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambala001:
Its a post on the 3rd page in this thread haha, but its great stuff. I have all of my modules in /data/local/modules/ so I had to tweak the script, but now from a fresh reboot all I do is run 1 script and it copies all my modules from my sdcard to that directory, just in case (it overwrites files with same name), chmods them all, then runs them which starts cifs, conservative mod, and overclock 1.42
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
I'm over clocked to 1.459 ghz, and my usual speed is around 85 F. When I actually play games or do something intensive, it moves up to the 90's but never hits 100.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] luis86dr:
Room temp is also a factor. I noticed when I'm home my room can be a little humid and that's usually when my phone goes over 90 degrees f. When I'm out for work never goes above 90.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambala001:
This weekend ill probably have time to try higher clock speeds and such, but after I let my phone cool down from a movie earlier, it rests at 80-82 F with 1.42 GHz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Figures. Its the post that the two zip files are attatched to. I didn't even bother to read it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] choppa26:
Thanks guys. Ya my room temp is 80 even if i play wit it for a little i hit high 90s but if i play reckless racking shis is 100+ i freak out sometimes ill take the back off and put the G2 rt up to the A/C vent 1min lata im at 75-77. I just worry high 100s n my phone is gonna do something crazy .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambala001:
haha yea... if you see a thread that has as many posts as this one, its a good idea to at least read the first and last 5 or so pages, many questions will be answered
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:
Has anyone managed to successfully have their handset operating at 1.5 GHz?

I have mine running at 1497 in SetCPU, but haven't bothered tweaking the script any higher because, truth be told... I'm a little scared to watch my G2 crash. :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Great NY:
the galaxy s phones are designed for graphics which i believe is the reason they score decently high at lower clock speeds on quadrant compared to the G2. compare the linpack scores tho and the G2 basically kills all other phones on the market iirc.

i wouldnve had a vibrant but i 100% needed a hard keyboard. and im glad i waited on the G2

im clocked @ 1.497mhz and my temps have never seen 100+. mine usually hangout around 80-90 while using it. and mid 90's on heavy usage. but yea ambient temp will effect how cool it runs.

im set at the same 1.497mhz as well. i had my phone a little over 1.5mhz (the next val up past 1.497). i ran it like that for about 4 hours and it finally froze when i was browsing some FLASH heavy sites on it. worked sickly fast, but i just bumped back down to 1.497mhz and left it there. im pretty sure this G2 is capable of more with actual optimizing (which it takes every other phone to run these speeds) but stock with nothing done but an OC, i do think 1.497 is max for day to day usage with no other mods. at least on my phone.

when it froze, i left it for a couple minutes to see if she'd come out of the OC coma, lol. but it didnt so i pulled the battery and went to the 1.497mhz im running now.

running 1.497 for about 2 days before trying 1.5+ yesterday. now back and running just fine.

EDIT: i also was charging my phone and using it at 1.5mhz when it crashed, so im wondering if the charging and extra heat may have contributed to the crash at 1.5mhz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] syrkles:
Running g2 at 1.57 ghz no problems yet
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scrizz:
I dunno why u guys are freaking about temps...

running stock I would hit 40c

seriously though it's fine.

The plastic won't melt until a much higher temperature not to mention the metal ahaaahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha.

k
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Great NY:
post pics or vids my man. not saying i dont believe u as i know all phones are different. just show it up for everyone.

try using the browser and camera. the browser is what caused mine to crash @ 1.517mhz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:
Yeah, I haven't gone above 1497 just yet, however... I am getting antsy, and would like to experiment a bit. But so far, everyone has mentioned that almost any value above "78" in that script basically causes a crash, eventually. :rolleyes:

So, is any 1.5 GHz value "safe" or more reliable to use for day-to-day use, I mean... considering I'm not keeping the CPU consistently scaled at MAX or anything like that!

Insights?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jigga0o7:
I can definitely say that 1.517ghz is stable on my phone. I watched the movie Don't Be A Menace (In South Central while drinking your juice in the hood) on a flight from Phoenix, AZ to Oakland CA on Monday with no problems whatsoever.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jacobmowry:
I seem to be stable at 1.40. It seems more consistent.

there was a guy who posted before and had screenshots of 1.5GHz +

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] luis86dr:
Is there even a need to run past 1.4? Lol I mean the phone is fast enough at 1.4. I think we just got a benchmark marathon going on here lol

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] liberalswine:
I don't see a need to go over 1.4. As mentioned earlier, my best linpack and quadrant scores were from running 1.36ghz. Quadrant=2510, linpack=59.2

we need to beat the Vibrant.

they are at 3000+ on Quadrant!!!!!!!

maybe i should go back to the vibrant?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theratdude64:
I'm having stupid issues... I've used ADB before but it's not cooperating (Probably cause I am rusty lol)

I get to where the prompt is $, and I know that I need to change it to # by mounting it. Isn't a command "su" for superuser permissions? Everything I try says "adb: permission denied"

That and is Data/local on the internal memory? Looking at it in Astro I see /data but doesn't have a local under it.

:(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scrizz:
you need to get VISIONary from market.

install and run it

then do the steps outlined in this thread for over clocking

;)

I pretty much created a visionary.sh that has this in it:

so this way it's always @1GHZ without me having to click on anything

;)

replace "53" with "63" to get 1.2GHz etc

the equation is (desired frequency in MHz / 19.2) = pll value

example (1200/19.2)=62.5(set to 63)

hopw this helps you

;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theratdude64:
I already have VISIONary and setCPU. I went and ran something that needs super user permissions and it allowed it, so I duno what I'm doin wrong exactly :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scrizz:
then do these steps:

using root explorer or similar program, create a file in /data/local

called "visionary.sh"

then

Open the file and add:

save and exit

and restart the phone.

note: do not click "set on boot" in setCPU

and make sure it is set to autodetect

Freezing issues...

Maybe it's just my phone BUT...

When I put :

into Terminal, or Gscript, everything is good. Seems like it's working normal. When I initiate the App drawer, my phone freezes... In the exact same spot. I get the Icons falling into the menu, and BAM freezes. I prob get about 4 icons total on the screen... Any Ideas?

I'm using LauncherPro, with 3D enabled for the app drawer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scrizz:
maybe your phone cannot handle the high OC.

not all phones are going to clock the same.

you might also want to try a higher value to see if it is just the 75 setting

;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theratdude64:
will astro file manager do it? when I look into the root of the phone, theres a data folder but there is no local inside it. Says empty
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] naria01:
you need to adb push the file to data/local on the phone, or use a program called root explorer to gain access to the required directory
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scrizz:
no, you need root explorer or SU manager

etc..

needs root access
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] naria01:
I tried 76, and 77 and it looks like it is actually worse lol. I was interested in what the fastest speed my phone could support. :) Looks like 74 will do
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:
I think if we finally, or ever for that matter... achieve complete and "actual" root access, we can manage about 1.6 GHz outta' this bad boy!

If we do, then please believe... we'll match those 3000+ benchmark scores. :rolleyes:

I'd like to hear from someone who benchmarks it at 1.5, because I'm willing to bet that you can MAX that score out by running it a few times, and you should get close to 2700 in Quadrant. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] luis86dr:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theratdude64:
Got it to work :) I love this community lol.

It's possibly been mentioned somewhere in these 71 pages but...71 pages lol. Is there any danger to running at 1.42ghz? Or Just grubbing battery worse? I'm keeping it at 1ghz but played with 1.42 for a few minutes and it's quite impressive. That benchmark is just insane
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambala001:
Besides reboots and freezing, no one has posted that they have problems overclocking, but 1.42 is the most stable anyways so your fine. And as long as your not scaling it all the way up (use setCPU) your battery wont really be affected
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
What makes you say 1.42 is more stable than, say, a slower overclock?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:
Wait, wait... what value did you enter for your script?

I mean, what are you running at for that score? ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambala001:
I thought it was implied, but if I have to be literal, 1.42 is the highest stable overclock for most users
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phonekenstein:
Tweaked settings some more & nailed 2745 with Quadrant. The G2 was stable at 1574 overclocked both min and max set at 1574 with scaling option set for performance.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Great NY:
what setting are you tweaking to run that high a clock?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:
What value are you using in the script to achieve that specific overclock speed?

I'm curious... because I'd like to give it a shot. I'm still using 1497. :rolleyes:
