[G2 and Desire Z General] Pickx:
I can definitely see a difference when overclocking, however only on cpu-taxing tasks:

- Kirby Super Star (a difficult game to emulate) on SNesoid is jerky on stock speeds and the sound stutters. On 1.5GHz it's (almost) totally smooth.

- psx4droid often achieves better framerates with overclocking.

- ADWLauncher EX is noticeably smoother during screen transitions on higher clocks, especially when widgets are involved.

etc.

806MHz doesn't quite cut it imo.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bigtrouble77:
Running at 1500mhz definitely makes the phone faster. I have a pretty involved setcpu profile to optimize for every situation. As a result, I don't have poor battery performance, and the g2 runs better than any other android phone I've used.

The biggest boost is in the browser, its amazingly fast. Faster than chrome on my ubuntu netbook.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
Not to thread-jack, but how much does OCing at 1.5 impact the battery? I'd have it scaled down when the screen is off, but do you notice a big difference?
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
I have mine OC to 1.42ghz and use the 1800mah Evo battery which fits inside the G2 using the stock battery cover so it doesn't add thickness to the phone, and can go from 5am till 9pm with moderate to heavy use and still have about 10% battery left.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ranzz:
Does it add considerable weight to the phone?

How do you heavily use your phone for an entire day? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] SSVR:
Just flashed the virtuous rom to mine and have the CPU overclocked moderately to 1ghz. Have noticed slight increase in snappiness.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
It adds no extra weight, atleast none I notice here's the thread for the battery( the red ones form chichitech), :

As fas as your second question, "How do you heavly use your phone an entire day?", if you cant figure that out I guess you are confused.:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
I have played around with the OC settings quite a bit. A few things:

Battery life is not much different than stock. If anything, it improves the battery slightly. I am currently running SetCpu with no profiles and have the governor set to 'on demand'.

The difference between 800mhz and 1.2 ghz is pretty significant. Not only have I seen higher benchmark scores but the phone feels even 'snappier'. No lag in transitions when switching between vertical and horizontal layouts. ADW EX transitions smooth between screens using effects, etc.

I have had it up to 1.5 ghz at times, and to be honest, I don't notice a huge difference between that and the performance at 1.2. Quadrant benchmark score is a few hundred points higher but in day to day usage on my device, the phone feels about the same.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ihateusernames:
I see very significant difference between my rooted, 1.5ghz OC'ed G2 and my wifes stock G2. My phone opens apps like maps, nav, earth, browser etc.. in half the time. I have noticed that the earth app is not as smooth on stock as it is oc.

I always thought that the G2 was fast stock, and it is, but when I use my wifes phone to hop on the web or whatever, I immediatly notice how much slower it is than mine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
sorry to be a lazy ass, but where is this 1800mhz evo battery the cheapest? or even safest to buy from?

I realize I could google it, and I will if i dont get an answer today haha ;) thx again
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
There is a battery thread in the accessories section and I think there is a link to it there if I am not mistaken.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Heres where I got mine from:

http://www.amazon.com/Sprint-Battery-Charger-Verizon-Incredible/dp/B003XOUM12

You get 2 batteries plus a travel charger.

To get them to fit you have to remove the red wrapper off the battery heres a link to a video on how to get them to fit.

[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
Flashed this on my G2 running CM 6.1.1 and got a Quadrant score of 3037! I had it OC'd to 1.8 GHz with scaling set to performance, which would obviously mean that the G2 is incredibly faster if you OC it. However, I'm sure it will affect battery life, so I'm only OC'ing my phone to 1.4 GHz, not the fully capable 1.8 GHz.

[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
I do believe the G2 feels significantly faster when overclocked. Everything feels smoother and more responsive. See sig for performance with a 1.5ghz oc. Feels bad that a Nexus S at just 1.2 ghz beats all of those numbers though.

Quick question re setCPU...

I am having a few 'issues' I think are due to setCPU/overclocking in general and want to temporarily disable setCPU.

I don't want to uninstall it, but would revoking it's SU privileges be enough to turn it off without causing any issues? And with it turned off, will the phone reset itself to stock freqs?

I've given it a shot and it appears to have had the desired affect but unsure as to whether it could still be lurking in the background... This is on Virtuous 0.8.1 rom default kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
Just disable "set on boot" and restart the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] alpharomero:

Nexus S is that fast at 1.2GHz? Which tests?
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Yeah and it just got faster, a 1.3ghz overclock kernel was released. I havent even seen a 1.8ghz G2 reach the numbers a 1.3ghz Nexus S gets.

This is what a member on another forum I post on got with his 1.3ghz Nexus S:

3302 in Quadrant, 60.8 in Nenamark, and 65 (capped) in Neocore.

Highest I got in Neocore was a 58.2 with my G2 at 1.5ghz.

Again benchmarks don't mean much, no clue how it compares in everyday use. Im pretty content with my G2.

Im running cm 6.1 on my mytouch 3g can anyone give me any advice on optimizing my experience I can't even install angry birds on my phone let alone use flash..... help me please
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Buy a new phone!

Angry birds will not run better because of magic's lack of GPU. So all the graphic is done by the main CPU.

Second, it doesn’t have enough CPU power to run the internet browsing in a orderly fashion yet to run flash!

What you want is new phone with more POWER and GPU!

Is there anyway I can get notifications like we get for PMs but when somebody replies to your post in a thread? Some threads are huge and I can't find where I posted my question, comment, concern, and can't find who replied and what they said?! Is there a feature I just can't find or does that just not exist? Please PM me with the answer, because I at least get a notification that I got a reply then. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Punxx:
From what I can see there is nothing like that available on XDA (I couldn't be wrong, but I don't think so). You can however use the subscription feature that is built into vBulletin. Go to User CP > Edit Options > Subscriptions and change it from None to one of the options. That will then add a thread to your subscription list and show you when new posts have been made in that thread.

I have mine set to No Email which just adds the thread to your subscriptions list, I can't be bothered with the emails it sends you.

I'm thinking this is the closest feature you'll find to what you're wanting.
[General Questions and Answers] l3v5y:
As far as I know, that's the best you can get with the software this forum is using.

Unless you mark threads as read, the "View first unread" feature (either visible in the thread, or the ">" icon next to thread titles in the forum view) will take you to the first reply after your post, and the emails/notifications links should take you to the first unread post in a thread.

I don't know what I did when I was trying to install the orginal rom but, now my phone just shows the mytouch 4g picture, then it goes black and the same picture appears again, while the phone is vibrating. I am able to get into hboot but none of the options work. I upgraded the firmware with clockwork and unrooted the device. Is there a way to unbrick, or is the device just a brick?

Any help I would be thankful toward,

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukecarr:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spimonkey34:
You don't choose bootloader in fastboot. All commands need to be run from your machine.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukecarr:
It does not even show the device in adb. I have install the driver for hboot usb plug, but maybe I got the wrong driver. Do you have a link to download that so I can try to reinstall driver, or is the unit bricked? Or how do I fastboot with the unit not loading to android, but its on hboot screen with usb cable attached. Is there a way to do that?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
Press and hold the back button while booting to get into fastboot mode. Then download the clockworkmod recovery img and flash it through fastboot. You can find more detailed instructions in the thread where you download clockworkmod. This will enable you to enter recovery and flash a new rom.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukecarr:
When I followed those steps, fastboot in red came up and it gave me choice of bootloader reboot reboot bootloader and powerdown, it does not load, I have tried the bootloader, it goes to the main screen.

Was being dumb needed to hit restart it boots, thank you I will be reading on clockworks. I a noob as you can tell.

Lol, I had the same problem the mt4g when I first got it. Very different from the mt3g. For future reference, as long as you get fastboot to come up, or at least get adb to recognize the phone, its not bricked. I actually bricked a mt3g 1.2, and when they're dead they're DEAD.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
Hi guys..

There was some interest in different filesystem modules for Eclair.

I built these from the source from Samsung. I'm running Froyo, so I have no way to exactly test these. In theory they should work, but I can't guarantee it. I couldn't find any of these modules anywhere on xda-developers, so I'm hoping I'm not redoing other peoples' work.

The crc16.ko and mbcache modules may be required in order to insmod the ext and/or jbd modules. ext4 does need jbd in order to properly be imported I believe.

To use:

Simply copy to your sdcard in a "modules" folder.

* AS ROOT * from adb or a shell on your phone, run:

insmod /sdcard/modules/ext2.ko

Change ext2.ko to whatever module you'd like to load.

I'd like to hear feedback.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Techie87:
Wow nice job, and what are the exact benefits then? Ext4 is faster then Ext2?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
So one could finally insmod the ext2 module and then install the lagfix...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kenblat:
so do we need to apply the insmod in every boot or just do it one time and DONE?

Thanks so much for your contributions.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
Ext4 is better than 2 in various ways, however it arguably uses more cpu than ext2... But now we have the chance to debunk that if it's actually untrue.

It's just as easy to compile both of them in as it is one, so I figured I'd just do all of them.

You'll need to do an insmod every boot, since modules don't stay in the kernel between reboots. Things like filesystems can be compiled right into the kernel (except for proprietary ones like rfs - since then Samsung would need to release the source code for it).. so I may be able to compile you guys a new zImage that includes ext2 (or 4), with tun support and cifs if needed..

If this works, you should be able to add it to the init scripts in /system.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] fabricioemmerick:
Hello friend, does this module work on the tablet Coby MID7015, which has the Android 2.1 (Eclair)? If so how would he incorporates into the kernel to not have to keep typing the command on each boot. Thanks

I thought it would be easy, but it's not! :D

I can insmod all modules except ext4 but nothing seems to happen. Still cannot mount an ext2 partition. I can leave with FAT!

Too much drama on XDA. Again. What in the world is going on? Is someone accusing Master of stealing or hijacking the Sense port? Was anyone else even working on it? I'm personally not a huge fan of Master, but does he really need to be attacked like this? Was he really doing anything unethical?

My impression is that the Sense port was dropped by the original team for reasons I don't yet know, and that Master recently picked it up to work on it. Is that wrong? Is the problem that he had a donation link for it?

I don't want any flame wars or put downs in this thread, but can we have an open discussion about what went wrong here? Can we at least get an understanding of the facts, preferably from people who have first-hand knowledge?

I hope they get through this and bring it to fully working.. i would love sense on my vibrant! pleeeease
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
I have always been troubled by how the word "dev" is thrown around here by fanboys. I remember (a long while back) thinking it odd how Master would release ROMs with Eugene's old kernels that fixed many issues, and how such threads would be flooded with praise for the Master "dev" but no mention of the actual "dev" who did more than just change images. I think there should be stricter guidelines tracking who does what and what constitutes a so-called dev. Between crap like this thread and the idiocy of the average poster, I am completely disillusioned with xda. Ban me. Peace.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Chalup thank you! I agree with you completly, axura in my eyes is all but a themed rom, tweaked by the devs. The new guys want a good looking rom obviously they'll go to it. Making it grow faster because of the new users.

I didn't follwed up on the sense port, didn't see much progress back then and not now. So I wouldnt know of the drama that accured. Nevertheless master.should get credit. He took an abandon project to try and built it. He may be progressing, he maynot. Either way the vibrant will be old news in next year. So leave/let him do his thing, "theming" that is.

Why is that any of our business? I've never seen Eugene complain, and I'm guessing that if Eugene was angry, he dealt with it his way. I'm just fascinated by the emergence of "factions" and "non-devs."

Do we really have to split off into teams and print up t-shirts to declare that we're "Team EB" or "Team Whiskey"? Or create "official" designations for "devs" and "non-devs"? What has Master ever done to you?

Listen, I've heard/read/seen the rumors/accusations against Master. And so what? In the end, he puts out software that many people really, really like. If I have a beef with him, I would think the most I should do is just not flash his ROMs or not interact with him on XDA.

But what's the point of calling him out? He's still contributing to the community. He's still "developing" or making stuff for people's phones, so who am I and who are you to raise a ruckus?
