Which kernel should I have if I just want OC? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone is rooted and has s-off but I have a few issues. One is almost half the time when I hit the power button the screen doesn't turn on instantly but the soft buttons light up. It usually takes me hitting it 2-3 times swiftly to get my screen on. Another issue is sometimes wifi calling gets screwed up so it doesn't work and it drains my battery as a background task stuck on restarting. I really only want my phone overclocked so just have baconbits kernel. is there a newer version I should put on that fixes these issues?

Baconbits, to my knowledge, is the only OCd kernel available for the stock ROM. Your screen issue might actually be caused by underclocking though, do you have a screen off profile or a minimum set?

I just have it set to 368-1497. Should I up the minimum?

Give the overclock widget a try. Its available free on the market. In the advanced setting, set your screen off profile to 245 min and 806 max. Scroll down and hit "save" before you exit settings. That will keep your phone running at stock speeds while the screen is off and should stop the wake issue you're having. When you're using the phone you'll be at the higher speeds.

I already had the widget. Did what you said but it still occurs.

245 is *way* too low, especially if you have things running in the background ... just start raising the lower end up until it stops happening.

Setting it to stay at 800 while the screen is off seemed to fix it. Any ideas about wifi calling bugging out? It usually doesn't happen very often, I think when my phone has been on for a while without a restart.

overclock widget doesn't overclock anything.... it controls the speeds AFTER you've installed an overclock kernel. I highly suggest using flippys turbocharged 1.8ghz kernel. Just because it is capable of 1.8ghz doesn't mean that you need to run it at 1.8ghz. you can just do something like 1.1 or something in between. Give it a look.

Nobody said the OC widget overclocked anything. Did you read the OP's first post? It was suggested so as to enable a screen off profile because the OP is having a wake issue while using baconbits.

set the off screen profile to the lowest speed 200/200mhz and 100% priority and he wont have anymore wake issues, don't know what I was reading hahaha

The screen on issue doesn't happen anymore but I'm not satisfied with my battery life. In the past something was causing my battery to drain insanely fast so I un installed a bunch of unused apps and started checking background tasks but when browsing the internet for 20 minutes on my way home I use 30% of the battery, bluetooth on.

Anyone know if it is possible to run Pershoot's kernel on the stock rom that comes with the device? Any side effects?

I don't know enough to say 100% one way or the other, but I read in a post I can't find right now that only BaconBits is made to work with the stock rom.
FWIW, I tried to flash the 1.8 GHz kernal on my stock G2 this morning, and got stuck in a boot loop.

On AndroidCentral people are saying they have improved battery life with CM7 nightlies. I'd like to try running a ROM finally. Do I need to get rid of my Baconbits kernel before proceeding? I already backed up everything with Titanium.

NO. The first thing you need to do is flash clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, which is totally different than ROM Manager. As of right now the latest clockworkmod available through ROM Manager is 2.5.1.3. If you haven't flashed that yet (2.5.1.3) do that first through ROM Manager. The best way to flash 3.0.0.5 is to find the .img file, place it on your sd card and run the commands from terminal emulator. After that just wipe data/factory reset, wipe davlik cache and flash the latest nightly .zip, reboot, then the latest gapps .zip. Go to the development forum and the first post in the nightly vendor vision thread has all the links you'll need.

[Q] SetCPU Superuser Permissions

So I'm on a visionary temp root, overclocked with setcpu. Ive set up several different profiles but I've noticed that my battery life with the profiles isnt as good as other users have claimed.
I have noticed that when i open setcpu sometimes a little message will flash up saying that setcpu has been given superuser permissions. Does this mean that prior to opening the program, it didnt have permissions? If it in fact did not have superuser permissions, could that be why my battery life is less than expected? (i.e. The program didnt have permissions and thus couldnt use the profiles to slow down cpu speed upon screen off, etc.) The message does not come up every time I open setcpu, but it seems to come up when I havent opened the app recently.
Any ideas?

From my understanding, you only set it once. i had set a widget because i thought set cpu had to be running. But i deleted it because if you think about it....superuser app already has the permissions set, and when you open setcpu it shows the current speed.....if it wasnt working it would show 800mhz then KICK into 1 ghz?....thats what i think. You shouldnt need to worry.
Great, thanks for the response.

same here. from time to time this popup comes.
anyway i cannot see any benefit from running setcpu as the profiles are not working for me.
i tried setting up screen off profile. this never triggers.
i leave setcpu deinstalled now. battery life is good so far

Good question. Can't find anything in logcat.
set notifications.
on the magic you could see him switching profiles right after turning on the screen
you wont see it on the g2
I agree, something is fishy with this. EVERY time I open setcpu it gives me the su permissions granted window like its not being saved in memory
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
EDIT: After shopping around on the market I came across an app called "CPU Tuner". The UI is nice and has roughly the same customization as setcpu if not more. It does take a bit of getting used too but i'm more than willing since the profile notification actually cycles with this app vs. setcpu. I'll give it a shakedown tomorrow as it's getting too late here to test.
cpu tuner doesn't work for me.
in profiles, it just shows 700mhz to 800mhz, which makes it useless as i want to underclock to 200 when screen is off.
That toast pop-up is nothing to worry about, its just something that has featured in the last couple of SU builds, it doesn't mean your app is not working.
I just turn the notification off in the SU settings.
I can now confirm that the screen off profile is not working correctly. Before going to sleep last night, my phone had a charge of 99%. I did not have anything running (no wifi, bluetooth, sync, etc.) and I woke up to 81% battery. It never killed that much overnight before overclocking. We gotta get this fixed.

Running the setcpu widget on my phone caused instability issues at higher clocks (feeling ballzy w/ flippy's 1.8 kernel). After removing the widget my profiles were hit and miss for some reason.
As far as the battery issue goes, anyone running CM RC2 and earlier might want to check out nightly 36, apparently there was a memory leak causing battery drainage ( I don't know anything about what it means but common sense leads me to believe a leak is bad lol). If anyone is still not satisfied with setcpu I highly recommend CPU tuner.

Yes I have the widget on my homescreen. Weird that so many people get different results
Could the scaling be giving people varying results? I don't even really know what they do, I have mine set on ondemand. Would someone mind sharing what exactly the different scalings do?

Centered around the OG Droid but basic concepts still stand.
- Just picked up an app called SuperPower, had it a while back and had issues..but it's been update a lot since then. Looks like it's an all purpose battery management app that has the ability to govern cpu speed also. I'll test drive it and see how it works.
My battery life has improved markedly since installing CM nightly #36 and Pershoot's latest kernel. I've been using my phone pretty heavily over the last 8hours and still have over 50% left. Lots of texts, emails and websurfing etc.

SetCPU widget stops updating?

As the titles states, I use the SetCPU widget and find that it stops updating after a while (after which, I'll have to remove and re-add). Is there a fix for this?
That has been happening to me and I haven't found a fix. I just stopped using it. It's a shame too because I used it a lot for checking the temperature, making sure I wasn't running too hot.
Maybe you can try reflashing the kernel.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 using XDA App
did it on every rom even stock i have used. i stopped using setcpu, it caused more problems than good
confirmed here too, the widget stops working for me after it's been on charge for like an hour. The status bar/notification bar icon works though (but no temperature)
its the app and the widget itself, for the longest time i had this problem when i was using my n1 and running cm6 and not only that, when i had it set to a certain freq. i go back into the app and it would say its clocked at 800 max, but i had it set to 110, i would have to adjust the freq bar to set it back to that.. i email the dev bout it all he said it was not set on boot, which i replied thats no the issue on hand as the phone has been booted up for awhile, and i manually set my OC, i never got a reply back after, so i check set on boot, and after bout an hour.. i go to setcpu and same issue
my target is set at 110 but its saying its maxed at 800, this also set on performance to always be on that OC, i told the dev again. and still no response so i gave up on setcpu, and glad the Cyanogen made built in cpu govnor
Its the widgets, my data signal widget takes a crap and freezes too. Setcpu works fine even when the widget freezes

If running cm7 just use the built in settings. I used setcpu with off screen prifles being slower and others but it actually made my phone run like crap. Battery life has been generally the same without using setcpu so I killed it. If u are running cm7 I wouldn't bother with it.
Love the Overclocked "nonsense" CM7

Sleep of death

Is anybody else having issues with their ET going to sleep and you have to pull the battery to get it come back up? I thought it might have been my setcpu settings. So I cleared them and uninstalled it. I tried the midnight rom and the starburst rom. I tried the stable and exp LosKernel. None of these got rid of this issue for me. Randomly through out the day I can try to wake the phone up to use it and nothing happens. After a minute or two I have to pull the battery. I am currently testing the stock kernel.
Thats weird, the only time that happened to me was when i had setcpu, and i tried putting "screen off" value to 200/200.
You should install setcpu again, and make screen off value 500/500, and if you dont have the issue, then try making the value 200/500, if you dont have the issue at this value, then leave it as is.

I agree it is weird and I am not sure why it is happening. If it stays okay with the stock kernel then I may wipe and try the viperrom.
Yep happened twice the other day... Im on stock rom with lost kernel..roooted i put setcpu to 200/1200 after waking my screen for a minute used google came back 3 min later and phone was either off or wouldnt wake .. I had to pull battery twice.
I setcpu up to 1200/1200 never happened again.
This is a nice phone but very touchy.. Seems alot weird things goin on for some Et users.
Worst of all for this phone is Los or just weak /radio signal in general ..which is a samsung issue.

Why people still insist on screen off profiles amazes me. When you hit the power button to wake it - the phone is stuck at 200MHz, you do realize this? If snything else is going on while it's stuck at 200 or SetCPU doesn't sample the phones state fast enough, it never gets out of 200MHz and locks up. Just like any other processor does when you overload it.
All the background processes going on even when the screen is off and somebody thinks setting the CPU max to 200MHz is a good idea? That's just asking for it. Not to mention the screen off profile is known to cause this issue. Notice how Virtuous, Viper, Cyanogen, and many other developers don't use one in their native OC daemons? There's a reason why. The phone sleeps just fine without it, just let it do it's thing.
Don't use offscreen profiles (the kernel is smart enough) and avoid using task killers, as those are likely to be the second leading issue.
I am having the issue even with setcpu uninstalled. I still have not found out what is causing it.

Just wanted to throw this out there: beware mislabeling this problem. The setcpu issue causing the phone the permanently lock up and require a bat pull is one issue, yes; slow screen wake up is a different issue. Sometimes if you hit the power button, the screen will not wake up on the first try. If you wait a few seconds and push in the button again for a second or so, the screen almost always will come after. Coming from a mo-pho, I actually had the stupid no-wake problem requiring bat pulls, so I'm extremely paranoid about by e4gt doing this -- but it really has been good about eventually waking up every single time...just try my instructions and see if it works for you, too.
Again, though -- setcpu issues may be a different problem entirely.
did you reinstall a rom and try it again or did you simply just unistall setcpu and try it. I say this because I had an issue when testing setcpu and my system still kept my cpu setting even after I unistalled the app. I had to reinstall the rom after wiping to get it to run properly again.
I think I have found the issue. I did a factory reset and installed the rom but I am getting an error now that is basically saying it can't read the internal storage card. So I think there are some actual hardware issues going on that need to be looked at by sprint.
how often has the sod been happening? I think i got it yesterday, but not sure.
Do you use setcpu?

This thread seems a little slow- has there been a solution found or are we isolated cases?
I reflashed the phone back to rooted stock and then flashed Blazer 4.1.
Got 2 SODs in the past week- one just a few minutes ago.
I tried calling the phone from another line, it rings but the screen is black and thus I couldn't answer it.
Power button and vol buttons work fine.
I had to powerdown and reboot.
Getting kinda frustating.

Wake problems.

My phone sometimes doesn't wake when I try and turn it back on after a while when the screen goes off.
I am running CM7 7.1.
I am using default oc settings. (ONDEMAND, 300-ish min, 1110-ish max, no undervolting as far as I know)
I tried to press the button combo to get fastboot but it doesn't work either. I have to take the batteries out for the phone to restart and then it works again.
What gives?

368 is the lowest you should go and, even then, you might run into wake issues. Additionally, if you have anything like SetCPU installed, be sure you don't have a screen off profile set with too low a speed.

It seems to be mostly a cpu clocking issue. Raise your minimal clock for screen off profile if you have one and it should work.

I don't think that is the reason.
Back during CM6 6.0 RC1, I had set CPU with 256mhz off screen, and it was perfectly fine back then...

Are you using SetCPU?
If you are (and it's really not needed anymore) make sure your max on the screen off isn't set low as well. You can sometimes get away with a low min but, if you have a 256min/256max, you're basically telling your device to stay at 256 whenever the screen is off and no amount of pushing the power button to wake it will change that.

Not. I uninstalled SetCPU. Using the built in govenor now...
The problem you seem to be having is a bsod or black screen of death.
If you search that term in the forum you will find a few posts about it.
The only thing that i am aware of about the issue is that it is related to the use of your gps.
I have had trouble replicating the issue, it happens very randomly. I sent my phone to bell and they didn't fix it...

In my case it was a battery issue.
To be sure I tried the experience 3 times: OEM battery for a day, ebay one for an other.
At the end I had a black screen ( sleep of death) every time I turn off the screen on the ebay battery (galilio).
The voltage was alright, it was something else.
running virtuous unity 2.37
I've had problems with the screen-on and screen-off animations causing a black-screen-of-death.

[Q] Trinity Kernel settings

I reflashed stock JB kernel the other day and found my phone to be running very smoothly. But I can't stand the colours on my purply screen, so back to Trinity (latest stable release).
The problem is, I'm getting a lot of lag and jerkiness on Trinity. Google Now takes forever to load, responsiveness takes a hit, and it generally feels like that whole "Project Butter" has turned into cold chunks of margarine.
I did buy the Trinity app to change settings. Is there anything I should be doing with Trinity that would give me stock-like smoothness and performance? I have a feeling there is some default setting in Trinity that is supposed to be helpful for some users but for me it's just killing the experience.
Or alternately, would I get better results with Franco?
I had similar issues. Not flowing very well , reboots and crashes. Also even though I bought the trinity app changing the clock speeds made the phone very very unresponsive. Tried many times to install it but no luck. Swapped back to Franco / glados (tried air kernel which was nice for battery but a bit laggy)
Franco also has trinity settings you can play with

Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Trinity Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
Personally I've had ridiculously good results with Trinity - with 384 GPU, not 512 (1536-384-Stable35). Absolute butter even when I have very resource heavy, multiple, tasks running - and havn't had a forced reboot, freeze or anything of the sort even once. Interactive/SIO, min 307, max 1190. Everything else on default (except screen colours/gamma which I changed to my liking).
That said, if the 384 GPU is also not working for you I suppose you can give Franco or the other kernels a try, every phone set probably responds a little differently to each kernel.

try using supersu instead of superuser. also, update your busybox. a lot of people have issues with root apps obtaining su slowly with superuser on jelly bean, which leads to lag.

Already doing both, thanks for the input.
I'm using 1344/307 and I also previously tried 1536/384. My phone seems to have some overheating issues so I don't want to crank it too hard... Just want to get close to stock performance.
I'll try interactive / sio. Are those essentially what the stock kernel uses?

i like ondemand/deadline. overheating.. whats your cpu temperature? most think that their devices are overheating when it falls in the normal range. tkt comes with widgets(in the app drawer widget menu), put the no background cpu temp widget on your homescreen and youll also get a cpu temperature reading in your status bar. at 100C the thermal throttle will kick in to lower your cpu speed and cool down your device. the safety shutdown temperature is 110C, your cpu will automatically shut down at that point. 110C is only reachable if you turn off the thermal throttle in the tkt app and you are benching your phone at a high oc. otherwise, i wouldnt worry about overheating.
The other thing is I get lockups every day or three. Today I rebooted the phone and plugged in the charger while it was rebooting. The moment the screen went off the phone was locked up. Power button would not respond. Unplugging/plugging the charger did not light up the screen. Had to do a battery pull.
In fact this happened again a second time in a row. Is there a reason the phone is locking up immediately after boot if I have the charger in? I'm trying it again a third time with the charger out, letting the screen auto-sleep before I touch the phone. Okay apparently it has nothing to do with the charger.
EVERY time I start the phone up now, if I don't unlock the screen myself before it auto-sleeps, the phone locks up and auto-reboots again. WTF??

are you undervolting at all? which yrinity kernel are you using? did you happen to use franco kernel before using trinity? try using a different charger too, ive had similar issues with a certain charger before too, until i started using a different charger.
Despite the fact that I disabled "Set On Boot" in Trinity Kernel Toolbox, it does seem I'm still set to interactive/sio on boot. And check out the logcat I captured over USB when I was doing a reboot and it locked up:

D/TKTBootHelper( 1853): TKT: Versions match, let's restore settings.

So it would seem that right after TKT says "let's restore settings" it locks up, if the screen is off, when set to interactive/sio. Huh?

are you undervolting at all? which yrinity kernel are you using? did you happen to use franco kernel before using trinity? try using a different charger too, ive had similar issues with a certain charger before too, until i started using a different charger.

See my post immediately after yours.
No undervolting at least that I know of. I tried cranking max screen off frequency up in case that was the cause, and tried going back to default CPU settings. Still does the same upon reboot.
But I can confirm that if I uninstall TKT completely and boot with Trinity Kernel, there is no screen-off lockup. Whatever settings were being restored by TKT were causing the phone to freeze if the screen was off. I'll leave it at that for now and give it another go when it's not so lovely and sunny outside.

delete the data for the tkt app(main phone settings, apps). dont use set on boot, its usually not a good idea. my screen off is set to 307. if you are overclocking, you have to disable smart reflex mpu or you will freeze and reboot if not other issues. turning off smart reflex is very important if raising the cpu speed. otherwise the device will try to automatically set the voltage too low for the cpu speed and itll cause freezes/reboots.

I didn't overclock and I didn't undervolt. What is smart reflex?
Set on boot was DISABLED, let me emphasize. Yet the logcat shows TKT restoring settings, followed up very soon with a lockup.

does your rom have its own cpu settings? maybe theres something enabled in there?

smart reflex is a built into stock, it controls your voltages. the thing about it is that it doesnt know overclock or undervolting, so if you overclock or undervolt, it restores voltages for stock cpu speeds. which causes freezes if youre trying to overclock by setting the voltages too low.

Stock yakju Jellybean flashed straight from Google image files, with the exception of Trinity.

did you try clearing the tkt data, or uninstalling it and reinstalling it? honestly, this is the first time ive seen this behavior. do you have any other cpu control apps installed?

Yes, set on boot is for critical settings only, like frequency policy and voltages.
All trivial settings are always restored as they were set.
What ROM are you on? I jumped into the middle of this page and missed it.
Side note, if it's settings being restored, clear the app data using the option in the menu.

No I do not. I will try reinstalling now since I uninstalled it completely.

Again, pure stock flashed straight from Google, except for Trinity.
