how is everyone seeing their cpu temps? Every app I download says I need a custom kernel to see the temps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Akulamenuri:
The SetCpu widget allows you to see temperature
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ssantos6981:
I have a quick question, how come @ 1.42 I get about 45 mflops while # 1 on linpack top 10 is at 85 @ 1.3x. Is there something I am missing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wheeliest:
Yeah, disable every app, quit every running service, run airplane mode, delete everything u can, run 0 widgets ect.. get the system down to as raw as possible and u could prolly hit 80mflops..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
After three days of overclocking, I am starting to see a significant lag when waking up the screen via opening the keyboard. Waking up via the power button is fine, but when I go to wake up the phone by opening the keyboard, it lags for a good 2 seconds before the screen turns on. I rebooted the phone, and on stock, there is no lag. Anyone else see this?

I'm beginning to wonder if this is worth it, unless I run something super-powered that needs it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burton14e7:
My phone randomly resets itself back down to 806 Mhz for some reason. Seems to be after a couple hours of OC'ing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SuperFly03:
Are you using profiles to limit the CPU speed when the screen is off?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scrizz:
no, you're not doing anything wrong.

just download the drivers from here:

use those to install the "adb" device in device manager on ur pc.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tawnchan:
Is the oc suppose to reset back to default when your phone sleeps?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
Note: setcpu shows batter temp on g2 - not cpu temp (don't think stock kernel supports it). As a result, you should be conservative with your temperature profile. If battery is above 100 degrees then ur cpu is running too hot - throttle back down - you don't want to destroy your g2 this soon...

Ps. Speaking of destroying, I will post a video of my motorola cliq getting the death it deserves should I be unable to flip it on craigslist.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
Yes - use set cpu profiles to throttle down.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
Are you throttling when temperature is too high? You should be or you can damage the chip.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
Are you running the setCPU widget? If so, then that's your problem. I had the same exact issues where the phone would lag for a good 5+ seconds before picking up speed again after unlocking it...

Remove the setCPU widget and you should be all set... I've had zero lag ever since I removed it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
*smacks forehead* I'm dumb. That makes total sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SuperFly03:
Haha, it's all good.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
Yeah, I didn't realize at first either. So now I limit cpu to like 758mhz when screen is off via setcpu profile. I also got rid of the setcpu widget. Phone didn't like it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vandam500:
Nice short video but you didn't demonstrate on how to have the automatic root upon reboot enabled. Its easy to figure out but some people can't.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] liberalswine:
How is everyone's temps looking like plugged in and unplugged? Also mention level of usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] winograd:
Parts of the UI are also GPU accelerated on Eclair/Froyo. Here I'm referring to the composition of the surfaces which are done by SystemServer component called SurfaceFlinger. SurfaceFlinger uses OpenGL ES 1.1 and is GPU accelerated.

You see SurfaceFlinger in action when you flick through your home screens, for example. Or when a popup dialog zooms in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] j.books:
Am I crazy, or is does running the kernal module use more battery, even when not overclocked? I love the work done here and appreciate it, but I can't help but think my battery is running down faster, even when setting the variable to 42. but I'd like someone to tell me I'm wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burton14e7:
It's throttling down when I don't want it to. I have two profiles to throttle it when it goes <50% or when the screen is off but it resets my max from 1400 to 806 after a couple hours regardless of battery % or the screen being off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheMan42:
Hey, thanks for this - made it easy for me as a non-dev type user.

Quick question though - are my SetCPU profiles going to stick? - I know before any script being run and just using autodetect- I didn't see a change.

Also, can someone break down safe voltages for me or maybe a brief tutorial?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CaliCL9:
I'm trying to run this at 900v can someone correct me if I'm wrong with my script

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=x vdd_mv=900 vdd_raw=228
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CaliCL9:
I need help with the raw value
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] liberalswine:
Hoy, pare. Anong balita?

Anyway, I'm running 900mV but my raw value is different...here's how my script looks

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=71 vdd_mv=900 vdd_raw=230
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Akulamenuri:
Raw value should be 230

224 + ((900)-750) /25

224 + (150) / 25 (Division first)

224 + 6

230

Just so you know I dont think the undervoltages work. I put my voltage at 100mv running at 1497mhz and it didn't crash. That lets you know theres a problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] liberalswine:
Hmmm, so under voltage scripts are useless? Can anyone verify this? I tried looking for a monitoring system displaying mV but nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CaliCL9:
Ok so I'm gonna stick with this script for now..

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=76 vdd_mv=1000 vdd_raw=234

2500 on quadrant and a steady 50 on linpack
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] icon_x:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
so setcpu does work on the g2? I'm capable of overclocking it?the reason I ask its cuz I heard setcpu doesn't work on the g2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SuperFly03:
Pretty sure this thread and the benchies prove it does. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] josem_662:
can anyone help me 74 freezes what is a good nimber to set it at 1.2ghz maybe thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] carlos2384:
that worked great thank you so much! the only thing is that when i tried to change the value to overclock higher i get back a failed message that says "file exists" ..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] liberalswine:
Before changing values, you always need to hit noreboot command
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
I just purchased the setcpu app..but I'm new at this how do I get it started..do I just simply scroll to a higher ghz?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] carlos2384:
what is the noreboot command?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SuperFly03:
Might want to go back and read the beginning of the thread.

Apps you'll need:

Terminal Emulator and GScript
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SuperFly03:
Do the math...

1200/19.2=?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] liberalswine:
One of the scripts for the gscript method. Refer to post 289
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kinacool:
Well I know, its been answered before but couldn't find it in this huge post so please bear with me.

Ok my clock speed is going back to orig once the screen goes of.

Also I saw some post the screen shot the profile that works fro them?

did you try rmmod vision_oc.ko first?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
So I bought setCPU, and I find it interesting that it says the temperature is 83 degrees Farenheit. The phone definitely does not feel that hot. What is this temperature measuring?

That's actually fairly cool for the battery temperature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mcp2009:
no prob. glad someone used it. I would be mad if I posted it for no reason lol. It's soooo easy to use and if you wanna oc higher all you have to do is long press a script and click edit and then copy the commands and then go back and make a new script and change value in the command. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 2girls1cup:
this worked amazing. now my g2 really flies. Nobody can fawk with the G2 now. Cnet even has g2 above the samsung epic 4g.

Bought SetCPU to show appreciation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
I did mine already it did work..but it when back to normal again..I haven't rebooted my phone..is this normal? My setcpu widget said 1420 max and now its on 806..?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heinzpilot:
This is AWSOME! Thanks for the script...it works great!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
Nevermind got it working again what I did is that I went back into gscript and repressed the oshitt and the other 2 again and it went back to 1420..sweet!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
So sweet its like your on your computer everything is smooth and so fast..flash video omg there isn't any problems at all..usually a flash video would give a mess saying. This video isn't optimized for your phone and its kinda glitchy..not nomore nope all smooth!!! Thank you so much I purchased setcpu too..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bluegizmo83:
So I'm having a weird issue. I got the overclock module installed and working, however...

It keeps setting itself back to 806mhz. I have SetCPU installed and when i set the overclock (insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=##) it shows the overclock in SetCPU (lowest setting I've tried was 1113mhz, highest was 1430mhz), I ran Quadrant before and after and the overclock DOES work. But then after a few minutes it automatically sets itself back to the default 806mhz according to SetCPU, and when I try another quadrant benchmark it gets the normal G2 scores (i.e. not overclocked).... It does not freeze, it does not show any errors, nothing.

I do not have any SetCPU profiles enabled.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
What I did was I went back into gscript..and I reclicked cpoc,noreboot,and oshittt..I don't know how to get the overclock to stick mine keeps on resetting back every time I turn off the screen..but like I said, when I'm gonna use the phone and turn my screen back on I go back into gscript and smiply reclick the ones I mentioned..it takes about a second to do it I dnt have a problem. Doing it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] justinewing80:

i love you and i don't even have a g2 i have an evo lol but i want a g2

I lose my overclock pretty quickly. 2-3 hours tops. Any suggestions?

I don't have gscript or anything. Just the visionoc.ko and am running it from console. Rmmod gives me an error. Visionary says phone is rooted, but it is no longer and requires a reboot.

Thanks.

check this out this is how i overclocked my G2 check out this tutorial
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
That's how I did mine
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Xerott:
I've been having the exact same issue. I can't figure out what's causing it to lose the overclock. I've tried reinstalling setCPU and rebooting many times, still can't get the oc to stick..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tony597fitter:
I was having the same problem and figured out why. After setting the overclock, go into setcpu, hit the menu button and then the device selection, then autodetect speedsbutton, click OK twice and it will save the overclock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Xerott:
Thanks, I'm trying it out, but so far it's worked longer than normal!

I'll update after a sufficient amount of time if it's worked. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] liberalswine:
Anyone have any new updates or feedback on properly setting the proper voltage parameters given that the script is ineffective as mentioned by those who have tested to dial in ridiculously low values with no ill effects?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] carlsbad0331:
I am having a specific issue with my G2 after overclocking and Ive searched and could not find previous discussion (concerning the G2).

When a call comes in, and the screen is off the phone will ring. The screen will not come on allowing me to answer the call, and I must hit the power button to wake the screen. Sometimes it WILL wake, sometimes it WILL NOT wake. But more often than not, I end up missing the call.

Other phones have had issue with Set CPU and a "screen off" profile. Where the min/max were too low and did not allow the CPU to ramp up in time to wake the screen. SO, I removed the "screen off" profile all together. This did not remedy the situation.

If I reboot and go back to the standard CPU settings, all is good in the world. Its only when overclocked that I have this issue.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] liberalswine:
Do you have setcpu widget running? That caused my phone to freeze when trying to transition out of the lock screen. So far no freezes without the widget running.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] carlsbad0331:
Negative, no widget running at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
This happens to me but not exactly.

Ok lets say I turn my screen off, i have it set to lower the cpu to 3xx max and 3xx min. When i come back lets say 10-15min later to turn the screen on, the soft keys on the bottom light up and when you press them they vibrate, so i press the lock screen again and it flashes as if i re-locked the phone, now i press it one more time and its unlocked and the screen is on. I havent tried taking off the screen off profile because its not much of a problem for me but it is annoying. Im going to try taking the widget off and see if that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] acispades:
weird issue

has anybody had any issues re-overclocking their phone? that is, i had my oc running at 70 (1344 MHz) for a couple days now it freezes at 70. Put it down to 68, then on next reboot it would freeze at 68. I'm down to 60 now but I'm curious why it would be okay with one value one day, then go crazy with it the next?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KidHuyDiet:
anyone getting good battery life after overclocking at 1.42?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bzerk1:
yeah it feels like i never lost any more battery than normal.

although is it just me or does camera not work when you clock it at 1420mhz?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] carlsbad0331:
Yes, this may also be part of my issue, as this occasionally happens exactly as you have described.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KidHuyDiet:
i just got finish ocing mine. ima test it now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KidHuyDiet:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sideswipe:
I tried this and I still lose my overclock after a few minutes....any suggestions?

need help. after getting it overclock for a hour or so it stop working. When i try doing the same thing over i keep getting this when running noreboot "stder: rmod: delete_module 'vision_oc' failed (errno 2).

any help to get this to work all the time?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] airoff8:
Didn't work for me either. I can't turn the screen off or I lose it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scrizz:
pushing your phone to 1.4 is not the best if your are worried about stability.

I would probably set it at 1.2max for daily use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rakjer:
Hi all,

I've been OC'ing my androids since the release of the G1 because they all needed it!!

However, with this phone (G2), in my personal experience with it so far, I have not found the need to OC it at all. I OC'ed it just to do it, but there is no need for it IMO.

I have tried to compare mine(OC'ed) side by side with my wifes(Stock) and I see no difference(obviously I did when I benchmarked).

I keep mine at 1.2 but I don't know why I do cause there is no need for it IMO. Just because I can, I guess??

Thanks coolbho3000!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] liberalswine:
Try running psx emulator. Running oc makes a huge difference in framerate
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tawnchan:
Not even sure if I am setting setcpu right or wrong. But other than having to re-overclocking it whenever I reboot. Everything runs like clockwork.. I am oc'd to 75. Sleep and wake up is fine as well. disabled a bunch of bloatware from the other thread. Maybe that helped?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Xerott:
Just confirming that this still works for me like I promised I would. I no longer lose my oc when I do this.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
Just a quick reference to the current debate over where changes in voltage levels stick, would it have anything to do with our kernels not being supported by the perflock disabler on setcpu? I know clock speeds are being modified..but voltages i'm not so sure about.

Or is that a sense only kinda thing.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
We need this for the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
SetCPU pretty much does this. Overclock to a high number, let's say 1.42 Ghz. Then use SetCPU (disable profiles). Leave the default minimum. Then choose a default max, anywhere up to 1.42. SetCPU also has the stress test feature, along with some benchmark features.

In that app's case, you have to already be rooted with a kernel that can support the overclock feature. In our case, we have to temp root and enable overclocking. After that, let an app regulate it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:

oc keeps resetting

I think I found the best use of the quick-access buttons, the first is the no-reboot script, and the second sets to 1.2 and the third set to 1.0.....I also set it up to start at 1Ghz....It is almost awesome, except that my G2 keeps resetting to stock 800....anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours it always resets to 800.....SetCPU 2.0.3 widget is what is informing me of this.....I don't know what to try next, as i already removed most of the bloatware, etc...but i am at a loss to make oc reliable...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havikx:
reboot your phone

root it w/visionary

push the files needed to overclock

open setcpu/ menu / auto detect

set overclock

home.

if that really doesnt work, i have no idea. do you use any profiles? maybe they are set to old clock speeds?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Make sure to doublecheck SetCPU settings after you overclock. It may be reverting to default settings, especially profiles you made before you overclocked.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dsil711:
Does anyone know if it is safe to run the phone at 1.42GHZ? I do not want to fry the processor. I gotta say though the phone runs amazingly fast, a buddy of mine at work has the new Droid 2 and is jealous that my phone is a hell of a lot faster than his lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
I've been running my G2 @ 1.42ghz for daaaayyyys now and it's just fine, the temp. never gets above 32C and may sometime get to 34C when playing games (Angry Birds = CRACK).

So no, you're safe to run your G2 @ 1.42ghz... If your phone somehow blows up.... well that'll be a good story to tell all of us. :D
