I touched some no frills cpu control settings and now my benchmark results are about 19000-22000 and it used to be like 24000 i tried changing the rom and all that stuff if someone can give me the stock governator and all frequencys and that stuff it would be helpful.. Thanks i need help i dont know what to do
Now i cant do any better than 23000

Firstly, I assume by the size score that you are using Antutututu. If so then you always get variance in the scores, and yes it can be 4k difference.
Next, I'm gonna bet that you are seeing thermal throttling, where the device is turning off 2 of the cores due to heat.
I've only noticed this behaviour recently myself. It's a real pain in the arse. I've downloaded trinity kernel app to get around the problem. In his app you can turn off thermal throttling and force the two other Cores to stay on.
This isn't a permanent fix though as the settings don't want to stick for some reason that is beyond me.
Next, is there no reset to default in no frills cpu app ?
Or you can uninstall no frills and make sure you delete any folders off your sd card, then either reflash your rom or you could even flash AICP kernel.
This should get you back to default.
Finally if you still think it's your settings, you could tell us all the settings you have changed and between the guys on the forum we could tell you what to change back to.
All the best rich
**just had a quick look at no frills on play Store. Looks like there's not loads to alter.
I like interactive governer and row scheduler (as we can't get row I use deadline.)
Min frequency wants to be at 384 and max at 1728.
That's the basics.

What are the safe/stable clockspeeds for underclocking and overclocking my Desire Z? Also, what app do I use? Like, I don't mind paying for the app (as long as it's not too expensive)

SetCPU can be used to overclock if you're rooted. Depending on the ROM and Kernel combination, overclocking to about 1.3ghz is usually safe. Some go up to 1.5ghz or even 1.8ghz, but are often quite unstable depending on other configurations you have in your ROM.
As far as underclocking goes, some custom kernels clock all the way down to 122mhz, I've been using a streamline5 kernel on CM7 (which offers 122mhz min) and haven't had any ill effects with this.
I have the Virtuous Sense ROM (with it's default kernel, although it does have other kernels which can give other cpu speeds), right now but might try out another ROM soon (maybe) do you know what's the min and safe max for this ROM?
Also, can I just set a particular clock speed (e.g. 500MHz) and it should be ok or is there any stability difference between say 500MHz and 505MHz? Just curious. I looked at SetCPU and it looks like a good one. Also, if the clock speed I set makes things go wrong, can I revert it or can I get stuck with it and need to do a wipe?

No, there's no need to set a particular clock speed. Just whatever works for you. I wouldn't recommend going under 800mhz, as the phone will really really bog down even with normal use.
I haven't used that particular ROM, but I'm assuming anywhere around 1.3ghz should be safe on the upper limit. Like I said before, anything above that might start to cause issues. You might also want to consider the battery life implications of severe overclocking.
You can change the clock speed any time you want. If you're having wakeup or heat or any other issues just go back to SetCPU and change the max clock speed again. You can also use profiles in SetCPU to change the clock speed when the phone is overheating, or when the screen is off, or when the battery gets to a certain %. There are tons of posts detailing how others have setup their SetCPU profiles.
One last note, don't forget to check the box for "Set on Boot" in SetCPU, this way your changes aren't undone on reboot.
Thank, I think I got everything I need to know in your last reply
I'm on CM7, with the CM7 kernel, and clocked in at 1.5GHz, and have no problems, and the rom is super fast. And I use SetCPU.
My phone freezes just as or very soon after i choose to overclock in cm7 settings.
My last WFS was really loving the O/C.
Has anyone any solution. Many thanks
Edit: I can use userspace govenor and go to 806mhz but dont notice any difference in speed of hone. Tried cpu spy
Perhaps it's your kernel. Which kernel do you use? (go to Settings, About Phone, Software, More, Kernel version)
Also, what apps do you use to do the overclock?
It's likely your phone. Not all chips are made the same. Set your governor to performance and slowly ramp her up till it freezes. Then take a step down and leave it.

BigChillin's right try what he said.

Hi all I'm fairly new to these forums, although I have been watching from afar for quite some while now!
I have been trying out custom roms and various kernels and was wondering how do I go about overclocking my device? Only reason I am asking is because I was checking out benckmark results for other devices and noticed some can be particularly high.
Any insight would be most appreciated!
I wouldnt try any overclocking on the HOX because of the heat issues. A more safe and stable way of doing it is changing the govenor of the kernel or forcing cores online. I think you can use core control (in the apps and themes section) to change core behaviour and system tuner to change govenor.

I have now installed core control. Got to admit it is nice having the option to save a bit more power. How much as an estimate do each of cores use anyway just out of interest?

you can download an app called tegrastats to find out more but all you should know is this. once you activate the corecontrol and depending what app you use you should be fine. if i was you i would also use no-frills cpu app. that way you can underclock and would save you more juice

Fantastic! Many thanks for the advice. I have now installed no-frills cpu, and started to tinker around with the settings. Could I ask as I am still fairly new to some of this, when I first went on to the settings both maximum and minimum were set to 1.5 GHz (Not sure if it was just saying this on the app or not or if these are the actual settings) but I would guess this would use a lot more power am I right?

yes you are right. put the min frequency to say 200 or 300 mhz and then press apply on boot and then reboot and you should be fine
Does anyone have any recommended kernel settings they'd like to share? I've been changing things around a little but I'm too afraid to make any big differences as I don't want to ruin anything. Any recommended GPU clock settings would also be appreciated!
Also, I see people mentioning they're overclocking their phone a lot. Does overclocking on this phone mean it constantly stays overclocked until you change the settings back or does it change frequencies as needed to a maximum frequency that you set?

Hey When you OC lets say to 1800mhz . That means your proccesor can Amp up to 1800 mhz if needed. Your phone will always idle when its a sleep. My setting are 100mhz UC and 1800mhz OC. Gpu is also Oc to 640mhz. I use pegasusq for governor and cfq or zen for scheduler. I also use eco mode . I get very good battery life and performance.
Also...what apps are you guy using for this? Seems most use trickster... Wondering if anyone has experience with others.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4
I would use whatever the developer of your rom/kernel recommends (which is Trickster most of the time)
Anyone know what eco mode does? I've been looking it up but all I've been getting is this guy's kernel that he named 'eco'
Also, for anyone reading this thread with a similar question to mine I'd heavily recommend using Zen over CFQ as a scheduler because it's much smoother and no jitters/stutters (at least in my experience)
Sent from my SGH-I317
I'm curious what Eco does as well. Tried looking it up, but didn't find anything useful.
Trying out Zen...been getting some annoying hangups and jitters with this kernal. UC 100 OC 1704. And FYI...I've used the stock clocks and still got the same lag and lockups and screen freezes. Also tried on demand gov.
Could it be that ZRAM is enabled? Not quite sure the benefits of it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4
Do you have eco mode enabled? Also, maybe you should look into Seeder. It sounds like it's perfect for the kind of problems you're having. Or you could change your minimum voltage from 100 to 200, I heard 100 can be kind of buggy sometimes

I am currently using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306650 , but i doubt its the rom fault.
Using the MIUI settings, Antutu CPU master, or ROM ToolBox, applying a lower CPU max freq will not stick.
Ex: The max is 1890mhz, but i want it at 1566mhz for the max. After turning the phone off and on, the max CPU freq. goes back to the original 1890mhz. With a reboot, it sticks, half the time.
What do i do? Please reply ASAP, my S4 gets hot while playing games so i like to underclock it.
With many years of experience, the best thing I can tell you is to not place a MHz cap that is too high. Your phone can potentially be a potato if you're not careful.

Download CPU controller app from the market. It will reset your CPU upon screen on.

SetCPU has different profiles to configure. And which ROM are you on? There might be an init.d script adjusting the frequencies. SetCPU will apply them AFTER any init.d scripts are ran so that should fix it. I loved SetCPU till ktoonsez made his own app.

the rom i am on is in the first post.
How do i check the script if it is?
Meh, till i figure that out, time to use SetCPU. I MUCH prefer Antutu Cpu Master Pro, a profile for overheating? Hell yes, i set mine to 1.2ghz at 105 degrees F. and 1.5/1.6ghz when its normal. Helped ALOT

Oh darn. It worked for a bit. Now instead of going back to normal max frequency after a reboot or boot up, it does it when I'm using the phone.
Does PAC ROM have this issue? If not, I'll use pac rom instead. Or it may be a kernel problem? Idk much about android stuff

Sounds like the kernel is overriding certain things in different scenarios. I'd try a different kernel.
