I know this is for galaxy s but im wondering is it possible too get this working with a galaxy tab running bauxite kernel? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921357

It loads right up but says unsupported kernel

its been confirmed it works with the EURO kernel for the tab http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924654

But ya would be nice if i could get this working on my tab sense my tab is unstable with the 1.2ghz but some people lowered the volts and there tab became stable.

The application seems to force close when it runs system checks. If I plug in the usb plug, the application works just fine. Could it be because I installed VC in /data/app?

I have a problen with configuring the mV on Voltage control. When ever I set it, which is usually (from top to bottom) 25;50;75;100;125;125 on noop. I got those from someone else but they work well so I kept them. Anyways when I try to set them they never stay that way. No matter if I reboot after saving boot settings or set them temporarily and close the app, when I go back into the app, they all go back to zero.

Can somebody tell me, how do I know if i successfully overclocked my phone? I set -75 for all Hz and pressed apply now, but how do I know if its being overclocked successfully?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dupontrocks11:
Download Quadrant standard from market. Run a benchmark and if your score is well above 1000 your overclocked. Quadrant isn't always accurate but that'd why I said if your well above your overclocked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Straputsky:
I don't think it's an accurate indicator. I do have around 1.100 Points without overclocking and without changing standard file system (still using RFS) with stock 2.2 ROM.

@elghouchd

Maybe you can use the two apps "Temp+CPU V2" and "CPU Benchmark". The first one is a widget which tells you the actual CPU-Speed. The second one is a stress test which forces your CPU to its highest speed. So I don't overclock I can't tell it for sure. I used the combination for testing my undervolting values for the 1GHz range, in order to get some stable numbers to start with.

@xan

Maybe you might think about a suggestion: Within the application, when I use the "Apply for now"-Button it would be nice if the application not only writes the values to the necessary files but creates another file where the last used values are written. Next time I have to reboot my phone, the application could - on my wish- restore the last used values from this file. In that case I don't have to remember these values and it's easier and faster to do a step-by-step approach to find out the stable voltages for each speed (and to some extend it isn't necessary to write them to boot anymore).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Gembol:
Result is more dependant on lagfix than in overclock.

I don't overclock at all (my processor never has been over 1GHz) and if I enable JFS with Binds lagfix in lastufo kernel, I can obtain 2400 or so in Quadrant.

Does anybody know if there is like an "ondemand" scaling for the Voltage App, or if there are scaling options?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bravomail:
Not all voltages displayed

Hi

I have Samsung Captivate from AT&T, running Suckerpunch Kernel build #41 on top of Firefly 2.0.5, JK4 modem, and Voltage Control 3a3.

Even after I removed /etc/init../..volt.. file, I cannot see certain voltages.

This is what I get in custom voltage screen:

1400MHz: ?-25=?mV

1300MHz: ?-25=?mV

1200MHz: 1300-50=1250mV

1120MHz: 1300-50=1250mV

1000MHz: 1270-50=1225mV

800MHz: 1200-75=1125mV

600MHz: ?-100=?mV

400MHz: 1050-100=950mV

200MHz: 950-125=825mV

100MHz: 950-125=825mV

So I disabled those states with "?". It works. But is there any way to fix it?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dupontrocks11:
By scaling do you mean being able to control the set speed of the cpu?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xan:
'?' is there only because VoltageControl has no way to determine the actual voltage for this frequency, since its non stock frequency.

There is nothing wrong with it, you can use those states, but app wont calculate voltage for you :)

Hi xan, what is please the best scheduler for our SGS in terms of battery life(i really care aabout thid :\)?

I don't know what to choose :confused: !
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xan:
Hmmm I doubt it has ANY noticeable effect. Just undervolt :)

Good way to preserve battery life is to limit to 800mhz :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aladin6:

Whatever your phone can run most stable. I do 150,125,125,100,100,100,75,50 but God knows if you can. Some people can't get 50 across the board stable
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Quipeace:
Hey Xan, I just checked out the sources, and I was wondering, is there a reason you're not catching the StringIndexOutOfBounds/NumberFormatException? Handling those exceptions and offering the user a simple dialog to retry should fix the nasty force-closes that look unprofessional.

Also, do you have any idea why the data you're getting is so inconsistent, and is it fixable?

Getting the correct states also seems to be a problem, when I reboot all states are unchecked, and thanks to the setCPU info tab it looks like 100, 800 and the max frequency are the ones used.

EDIT:

There was one thing that really annoyed me, and that is that the application closed when pressing the back button, even when the drawer was open, so here's something you might want to add:

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(slidingDrawer.isMoving() || slidingDrawer.isOpened())
slidingDrawer.animateClose();
else
finish();
return;
}

You'll also need to move slidingDrawer out of onCreate.

No root available

Something is not right with my Voltage Control app. When I launch it I get a "Not rooted" message and a No root available pop-up with 3 choices, 1) Do it for me, 2) More info and 3) Exit. If I click option 1 it doesn't fix the issue.

The phone is rooted but how can I fix VC? Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aladin6:
You have to install a compatible kernel like Super Optimized kernel !
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 105437:
Thanks for the reply but I'm running the Paragon ROM which comes with the VC app so the kernel is compatible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xan:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xan:
I need to remove these buttons, they do nothing atm. I doubt they will be usable, since there is no easy root in 2.2.1 atm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 105437:
Thanks for the reply... so I'm curious as to why the creator of the Paragon ROM would include VC in the build if it won't work for 2.2.1? I guess I should ask him about this. Thanks again.

I can't install Voltage Control 3.0.1...

Yesterday I flashed Insanity 0.6.1+ SOK 4_7_8 and I put VoltageControl_3.0.apk into /system/app/

Now I try to install 3.0.1 to use it with your new kernel, and it tells e it's properly installed. Icon has changed, but when I open Voltage Control I see the same as before and in Menu->About it tells me 3.0rc version...

Added this in market release :)

The error handling needs a lot of thought, I'm not experienced in it.

It seems that most errors pop when the CPU speed is low, I reckon its because some thread synchronization issues.

The app is poorly written, that is the problem. I'm too lazy to rewrite it.

I'm currently on sucker punch kernel #51 and have voltage control 3.0

I want to test out my lower power states to make sure everything is stable before moving on to the 1000 or 1200. I tested 800 at -100 with neo core and got a 48 something, which was reasonable due to the lower clock. The phone froze in the gallery, and when i restarted I keep getting 64.7 in neo. Now I don't think thats right since stock is like 55.

I have cpu limiter on 800 and only have enabled the power states up to 800. Is there something I'm missing? This is my first phone uv, but I have done many computers and I figured to test it the same way I do comps by limiting frequency, so then I can really push it to crash to make sure its fine. If it makes a difference I had it on noop and cfq and both have the same problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Wendigogo:
It works ! Dunno if it's due to kernel or reboot but I don't care ! :rolleyes:

Dear Xan,

What vallues do you use on 1200 and 1280?

We are on Voodoo 666.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xan:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dupel:
Hey Xan. Just thought of a very good addition to your app, which I think wouldn't be too hard to make. Widget/shortcut (prefferably shortcut as it eats less ram) to switch on oc and switch it off. This way when we need more power we can get it with just one click =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
I know the new versions say insanity kernel only, but I'd really like to get this installed through the market, unfortunately the market package tells me its not signed.

I'm running an Oc/UV kernel (suckerpunch voodoo) in the captivate if that helps.

Hopefully the market app can be signed or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xan:
my point was that insane kernel works only with latest VC, not the other way around :-) about signing: nfi what's going on, package is signed properly AFAIK. Did you uninstall the old (non-market) version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
I did but my rom has an older version built in that I can't remove (my kernel doesn't let me remount system as rw) so I can't remove THAT one.

I have a request.. is there anyway we could have the option (maybe having an option when pressing menu) to see the time in state from /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state? that way we can see which frequencies are being used the most right from the app instead of having to either use a terminal emulator to cat it or have to use a file manager to navigate to it... just a thought..

It makes the whole overclocking process so easy!!

I downloaded it from the market yesterday, and it is now telling me I have an update, but can't download it because the package is not signed :confused:

I saw you told someone else to uninstall it and then get the new version from the market if they got the first one from this thread. Should I do the same, and if so, is there anything I need to do in regards to my voltage settings before uninstalling it?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm completely new to this process.

@xan

is there anything in the voltage control app that calls for the creation of a file called S90scheduler or S99finish, or do you know what would cause such files to be created?

they both seem to contain the same content as S_volt_scheduler so in the cases where flashing a new kernel recommends removing S_volt_scheduler i also have to remove these two files

im wondering if there is something in voltage control calling for the creation of such files, or if anyone knows of anything on the captivate with my rom, kernel, etc that would cause this (listed in my sig)

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
Using the kernel currently in my sig. I noticed that the file /etc/init.d/S_volt_scheduler gets created when I save settings on boot. But upon reboot, it disappears. Why?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
grab sgs tools ( https://market.android.com/details?id=captivate.sgs.tools )

grab a terminal app ( https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm )

use sgs tools to set your /system to rw

open the terminal and enter

su #

allow super user, then hit the menu key and tap show keyboard (or toggle) and enter

chmod 777 /etc/init.d/

this will make your init.d folder accessable by apps like voltage control without having to always mount the system as rw first

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] existz:
You need to post questions/bugs in the SuckerPunch thread...but it sounds like your OC/UV settings are unstable, lower your UV...just because it passes StabilityTest doesn't mean its stable, it only test with cpu at max speed, so the lower frequencies are not stressed, so you don't know if they are stable or not..plus it can't test real world situations..so even if it does pass everything, it can still be unstable in real life ..don't rely on it 100%

Overvolting

First of all I would like the ability to to undervolt more than 200mV (not that I will necessarily need to but don't think this should be a hard limit.

The main reason of this post is to see the possibility of enabling this app to be able to overvolt as well as undervolt like it currently does. I would have the functionality be the same except that you can go in a "options" dialog and enable "overvolting" with a pop-up warning you that this can permanently damage your phone. I had to build my own kernel to boost the voltage 25mV just so I could get 1.3GHz working since even though the release version works on most phones mine didn't like it and would occasionally freeze and even phones vary greatly within the same model. Some handle undervolting and overclocking better than others so I think this would be a great "advanced feature" that way we could overvolt slightly to increase stability especially on overclocking frequencies. Please let me know the possibility and feasibility of this.

Thanks for a great app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pawces:
why the 200 limit to undervolting anyway? is it the maximum possible allowance that chip manufacturers put into their designs or something? my device stays most at 100mhz and 1Ghz, so I'd like to undervolt those two frequencies the most, and if possible, over 200mV.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Adevem:
i think you can try editting the uv_mv_tables(?) in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq directly using Root Explorer.

i've tried putting odd numbers like 195 before. SEEMED to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pawces:
can undervolting induce lag? what are the telltale signs of an unstable undervolt setting? I know sleep death is one of em (device sleeps, wont come back on until a hard reboot), but how else can i tell if my undervolt settings are making my device underperform?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xan:
Unstable overvolting settings lead generally to device freezes. Death in sleep is kind of freeze when device is frozen during sleep.

Some devs said that too much ondervolt on particular frequency could lead to that frequency being skipped (or.. changed too fast) during scaling. This could mean eg. that instead of running at 100Mhz device idles often at 200Mhz. I cant verify if thats true, I might include something like cpu debug feature to VC, but dunno if thats needed.
