Kernels Overclocking/Voltages/Governors - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Morning guys. I think I've clogged up Agats kernel thread enough with this so figured I should hop on over here and ask about what's going on.
First of all a big thanks to the few kernel devs we have over here. I understand that we did just recently get source so I'm not blaming anyone for the issues I'm encountering.
All I've been trying to do these past few days is see how far I can max out this phones performance. I'm not concerned right now with battery life. I live in a God awful data/signal area... but since source has dropped I have noticed without even touching a single setting improvements in performance.
So all I've been trying to do these last few days is overclock to 1.4 and KEEP it at 1.4 while my screen is on. I've mostly been using Tegrak Ultimate and Voltage Control and staying at Performance gov. From what Voltage Control is telling me though is the majority of the time I'm stuck at 800 MHZ. Very rarely am I at 1.4 and not only that the phone is barley ever at 500MHZ or 200MHZ. I've tried overvolting up to +75 across the board but that hasn't changed anything. I've tried different Schedulers and have seen a little improvement using CFQ. I've kept my governor at Performance.
I've never really been a big overclock guy. This just started as me seeing how far I can push this phones performance without it melting in my hands. LOL. Now though I'm just trying to learn and or understand why 96% of the time I'm sitting at 800mhz.
Thanks in advance for any feedback and especially thanks to Sleshepic, Agat, and RJ for the work they've put into these source kernels.
I've included a number of screenies..... sorry they are kind of random but it's what I've been posting in Agats thread..... but it gives you the general idea of what I'm getting at.
Thanks.

what ROM are you running? it would seem like you have conflicting scripts running. like a script which is preventing you from using certian steps. And even capping you at 800MHZ. Have you tried a full wipe then flash your rom and agat's kernel again? just wondering if there is a left over script from a perivous rom or battery saver mod. I have been following you on the kernel thread. hell, Ive been using google this to see if i can come up with something. thats I have right now.

Thanks man. You might be on to something there. I'm going to look further into scripts and how they may conflict with Tegrak/Setcpu/Voltages.
This could very well be the issue...... I can't think of anything else it could be.
Thanks again.

No problem. im also checking it out as well. I'll keep ya informed as what else i could find.
Go team venum! lol

Well I'm not getting anywhere on this. A few days ago I was testing Manufan's Hooligan ROM(awesome ROM by the way) then did a fresh install over to Mijjah's Goodness ROM. I just asked in his thread and Rwilco12 said there isn't a script in the ROM. He thinks there may be some apps conflicting.
The only thing I have left to do is another fresh install. Judging by the lack of responses in this thread I may be the only one having this issue.

do you have multiple OC apps? like i had to delet Rom tool box when I started using voltage control. same way when I had tagraz. I beleive you can only have on OC app at a time as they will conflict by trying to gain control over the CPU.

Yeah I'm running 0.2.3 and here's mine.

Well I have Rom Toolbox Pro but I'm just using that to change my font. I have Setcpu frozen thru TB and just using Tegrak Ultimate.
When I get home from work later I'm going to do a fresh install. Use Rom Toolbox Pro to change my font then freeze it. Then just use Tegrak and not install Setcpu.
See if that does it. Thanks again for your feedback.

[Q] Why is the newest Netarchy Kernel making my Stock Root Rom's FPS WORSE?!

Can anyone help me out?
I'm running stock rooted 2.2 (deodexed) and flahsed over the 4.0 zip... and the scrolling is choppier than all hell. I re flashed the stock kernel, and it was back to being fine again. So, I tried again, with wiping the caches first, and still choppier than all get out when I flashed the kernel.
It's definitely the right kernel, but what the hell am I doing wrong here? Any help would be appreciated.
And, I'll even throw in 5-10 dollrs for someone who can give me an answer that works.
This could be because of the new settings he just changed. Try the download that is 4.0.2 and not 4.0.3, or try overclocking your processor to 1.2GHZ with OC widget or SetCPU.
What kind of screen do you have? If you have a Nova panel, you may need to adjust T2 values to get the best performance. Just my 2 cents.
Ok, so I installed 4.0.2, and it seems to be running better, but still some choppiness on the menu up and down scrolling when "all apps" is opened.
I have no idea how to use SetCPU (noob yep... graphics guy... not a tech guy_, so I took a screen:

I have a Nova, but, I have no idea what T2 panels are and how to adjust them. If you could point me to the right app or direction, that'd be awesome. I'll donate to you as well if it helps.
There's an app floating around here called NovaFreq formerly evoswitch. It allows you to change the panel frequency to improve fps. Everyone gets different results. 450ish was usually the best for me. Basically trial and error. Most haven't needed it with recent kernels though. As for setcpu, the higher the max frequency the better fps performance, but overclocking comes with some risks. Im usually underclocked at 576max / 245min. You can also set profiles to run certain speeds when screen off, charging, etc. Helps a lot with battery life. I would move your max down to 998 or 1113 and min to 245. Ondemand is usually a good scaling setting. Hope this helps.

Wow thanks. I downloaded nova frequency, but just left it at default, and changed the setcpu, bc I was getting random reboots with the overclock. I also set profiles to way lower when the screen is off and the phone is at lower battery percents.
This phone officially runs like it's on crack now. Good stuff.
Guys, PM me ur paypals, and I dont' mind donating a few bucks tomorrow.
Glad to help. Feel free to send my donation to one of the developers on this forum. Without them I wouldn't have known any of that.

LOL bro. Not only did I tell you to use NovaFreq, but I also told you not to use SetCPU. You were getting reboots b/c it was set too high and you don't want to set it below 245 when screen is off. I don't think SetCPU is so great for *most* people. I could have helped you on GTalk and taken your money...gladly would have

This ROM WILL NEVER BE THEMED, THERE ARE TOO MANY OUT THERE THAT ARE AND EASY TO ADD TO THIS ROM IF YOU LIKE THOSE THEMES I PREFER STOCK, THIS ROM WILL BE UPDATED ONLY TO INCLUDE NEW FEATURES, IT WILL BE OPTIMIZED. I ASSUME YOU BOUGHT THIS PHONE FOR PURE GOOGLE EXPERIENCE AND THAT IS HOW IT WILL STAY.
First get ROOT HERE
This is a ROM i put together, it is stock, zipaligned, deodexed with the battery fix that displays proper battery charging status. Included is netarchy's kernal 1.3.2 CFS. This was taken from stock rom so everything works. This rom is voodoo supported and all features work flawlessly.
THANK YOU TO NETARCHY FOR HIS KERNAL, COMBINED WITH THIS ROM GETS A QUADRANT OF 3103 WHEN OC'D TO 1.3 smartass
Make sure to wipe all, including delvik, cache, and data. Flash and enjoy. Also i get the best results when i set setcpu to 200 min and 1.3 max.
V_1 http://www.4shared.com/file/ZTt2qKd7/Gerbal_ROM.html?
***Just a word of advice, i seem to get no performance boost going from oc'd 1.3 to 1.4, i think it affects the governor in a bad way.
I have parted with my Nexus S 4G due to connection, reception, issues that I couldn't wait for sprint or Google or Samsung to address. I will update this rom with tweaks and such but the base will not but updated as i have returned to the Evo forums.
Updated the bootanimation in the rom..you will have to redownload and flash for it to take affect or download the bootanimation and flash via adb to /system/media
I'm getting the Nexus S 4G tomorrow and will be giving this a try. I'm coming from the Evo and I hope the Nexus 4G gets just as much love from developers as the EVO did. I doubt it, but thanks kpkimmel for the Rom. Like I said I will be flashing soon!
So how does the battery tweak work? I understand the 93% full charge is a safety feature. Does the tweak offset the numbers?
Yes, it offsets, so it should show 100%
Updated adfree to current host.
When you have a chance mind posting some screen shots? Thanks
Very nice, smooth and fast. I've been trying just about everything that's been coming out for the NS4G and this is one of the best. Thanks.

Yes it is, saw it on another rom and like it. Part of battery tweak.
I like this ROM, did a few adjustments with setCPU (posted a thread in General with my slightly modified advanced settings) and my battery is doing well. Haven't had this phone for more than 5 days, but noticed better results than other roms.
Clean, quick, and a job well done. Thanks!

Any lag while screen off and turning back on after period of time? On NS4G I ran into issues randomly with screen turning on I would have little or huge amounts of lag... Tried several kernels and nothing helped... Keep having same issues. Running with ADW EX. Any suggestions on launcher besides stock?

I use Launcher Pro Plus, no issues at all. and in setcpu i have only one profile setup, its screen off max:400 min:100... any lower than 400 the screen doesn't turn back on.
same kernal included in rom (net's 1.3.2)
if you are having issues, try reverting to netarchy's stable release
i believe a BFS kernal is supposed to rid lag and latency, i dunno, i just use CFS, i feel its better on battery

CFS is better on bat, i havn't had any issues with the kernal provided but if you do have problems you can simply flash an alt. kernal.
thx for the quick response ev1. Ya I have tried the stable and beta builds and so far 1.3.2 CFS works the best on my phone. But any kernel I use I have lag from time to time.. I am starting to think its ADW EX issue now... FML I love it too.. Oh well I will try another and test out. But about to flash this ROM now to check it out. Thx again ev1 AND thank you for the work you contribute to the XDA community!! Much props.
Is there any way i can use the battery mod with stock rom? I'd flash this rom but i wanna stick with stock for a little longer since i just bought this phone.

If you already flashed, you can flash the update without wipiung (it worked for me anyway.)
If you're doing an initial flash, download both files and replace the patched factoryfs insted of the original.

Has anybody tried WiFi yet? I didn't make the kernel so please test.

Not sure what yet, but something in my update broke WiFi, so I pulled it.
Back for more soon.

As you may have seen, VZW Galaxy Tab owners here on XDA are hurting for good Dev's. Thank you for showing interest in our amazingly underrated device. I was wondering if your future plans may include creating a basic ROM like this one but based on the 2.3.5 ROM Verizon is set to release?

Trying to figure out my ROMS!!!

I have an Evo 4g. I was on cyanogenmod 7 for quite a while and finally got fed up with it. It seemed like I was one of the few that didn't like it. So I decided to try some sense based roms. I tried Tommy's Classic and really loved it. It was smooth and fast. But I was being greedy and wanted to overclock it.. So I reinstalled it with underworld v.8 kernel and did some over clocking...I found a lot of lagging with the underworld kernel so (when it was overclocked and wasn't lagging I loved it! It was screaming!). The lagging got to be too much so I tried Mikg v1.0 with the anthrax kernel. It's runs ok but I find lagging with it too. Long story short I think I want to go back to Tommy's Classic rom, but I'm wondering if there is a way to overclock it with out underworld or another kernel that will change a bunch of things. It seems like there are not many kernels for The Classic rom (4.56)... One of which is along The Classic theme but doesn't allow overclocking either. It seems like back in the day when I first rooted my evo that I was able to use set cpu to overclock by simply disabling perflock (or am I somehow forgetting that I did have to flash a different kernel?). So I guess I'm just asking: what are my options with overclocking The Classic... Or do I just run it the way it is??

Why dont you give this kernel a go... Freedom Kernel its very stable and its always ran great on all the sense roms i've used.Also make sure you dont overclock it too high,it will give you a lagging sensation and overheat your processor.I set mine at 1113 max and 245 min,with deadline and ondemand settings.

Thanks for your reply! The only thing I could find about the version the kernel is for is: 2.6.35 ... so does that mean I can only use it with mikg and can't use it with the classic? Thanks again

The kernel version is the base Linux kernel it was built off of, the only thing to worry about with kernels and roms is that they are for the same android build ie; gb rom + gb kernel = profit, ics rom + gb kernel = no bueno, and etc froyo+froyo, gb+gb, ics+ics, JB+JB don't go sticking a kernel for a different build with a rom or you'll lose functionality, softbrick/bootloop etc

Alright thanks fellas!

Something I keep installing is causing lag - how do I isolate this without trial/erro

I'm getting quite frustrated with a persistent lag issue I've been carrying across all installs. I don't know how else to describe it other than a huge input lag. I press the power button, the phone takes 2 seconds to wake up....
I press a button on the screen - sometimes 3-4 seconds before the phone reacts.
I don't know how to isolate this problem because every time I do a clean install the problem isn't there, I have over 200 apps that I just back up from a TitaniumBackup that I carry over after wiping everything including userdata/sdcard... I'm not going through the whole "remove 1 app at a time".. I have over 200 man that's too time consuming!
There's got to be a better way to figure out what is hogging the CPU or GPU or whatever IO is getting mucked up to the point that its slowing my phone down. I haven't seen an impact in battery yet which is a tad confusing, but I'm not gonna complain about it..
Any help is much appreciated

I'm getting quite frustrated with a persistent lag issue I've been carrying across all installs. I don't know how else to describe it other than a huge input lag. I press the power button, the phone takes 2 seconds to wake up....
I press a button on the screen - sometimes 3-4 seconds before the phone reacts.
I don't know how to isolate this problem because every time I do a clean install the problem isn't there, I have over 200 apps that I just back up from a TitaniumBackup that I carry over after wiping everything including userdata/sdcard... I'm not going through the whole "remove 1 app at a time".. I have over 200 man that's too time consuming!
There's got to be a better way to figure out what is hogging the CPU or GPU or whatever IO is getting mucked up to the point that its slowing my phone down. I haven't seen an impact in battery yet which is a tad confusing, but I'm not gonna complain about it..
Any help is much appreciated

Use app settings Running Apps tab.
What would I be looking for here?
This is all I have in there - no scrolling up or down. Nothing seems out of place?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Then it isn't an app causing your lag. Or at least not one that's running.

Maybe a system UI change? I do have a lot of modded items like the center clock and such... Would these be problematic?
edit; just to try it out, I'm reverting all changes and rebooting - waiting for the phone to settle down now.
You didn't really provide any information other than what you were assuming it to be. What ROM, kernel, mods etc are you using?
Also, are you underclocking/undervolting the CPU? Might not be liking the settings

Well I was hoping for a way to diagnose the issue myself but I always welcome help as I'm at my wits end of diagnosing this problem right now lol
ROM: XenonHD Stable 2.0 JAN10 Release
Kernel: Both stock included in ROM and currently LeanKernel
Mods are mostly things from the ROM settings.. stuff like Signal text, battery text, centered clock, adding day of the week, shortcut by tapping on the time in notification bar
No external mods installed lately.

Unless the new daemon included in the ROM mentioned above is doing either of those - no. CPU scales up to 1200Mhz regularly when watching it in the performance tab
EDIT: I think I just found it... Something I must have installed is locking the CPU to 700Mhz, I just double checked to verify what I said and its not going over 700 even though the daemon is set to 1200...LOL!!!!

That'd be governor control. The hispeed frequency must've been 700.

How do I mess with this if possible? Im assuming kernel level tweaks?
I switched governor to interactiveX and I'm now seeing it jump to 920 and 1200 much more often... Seems a bit smoother but I'll have to wait and see if I get any hangs like I was before... wow I really hope it was that easy to fix lol, I just need to find the app that keeps messing w/ my CPU settings now >_>

Depends on the governor. You'll need an app like Francokernel updater.

Ok I had been using Trixter toolbox, I believe I saw settings for that while using this toolbox under another ROM
I'll have to read up on this HiSpeed thing you mentioned... It sounds like its setting a secondary artificial limit on CPU speed based on load settings similar to the way 'nice load' used to work? Its been a while since I've hit the wiki
Thank you guys very much for your help. After using it for a handful of minutes things are looking pretty damn good! Very much appreciated
After some time the lag came back even worse. I did some looking around on my own into possible hardware failures at that point and later found a possible issue with the emmc not running fstrim or just not trimming the flash memory correctly
I found an app called LagFix and ended up installing that and after a reboot it was like I had just erased everything on the phone (back to fast again).. I've been using it nice and quick for the past week now and I think that may have been the end-all issue as usually the lag would start to re-appear after a few days.
