overclocked

[Edwill86]

just over clocked using franco's kernel updater app..very nice. seems much more responsive now.
1.2ghz with the on-demand governor.

should hold me over for another 2-3 weeks, and if JB isnt out by then I guess a rom might be getting installed

 

[2defmouze]

Lol.. It sounds like all you did was change the governor. 1.2 is the stock max setting. Did you flash a kernel or no?

If you are still on ICS then don't flash one, btw, as all the current kernels are only compatible with JB.

Still on ICS
am I ok?

I thought the vzw gnex was set to 1ghz and the sprint was 1.2ghz?
where should I put it then? I just left the setting on what the app came as basically.

You're fine, as I said you just changed the governor of the stock kernel. No biggie.

EDIT: my bad I misread your first image, yeah you're on francos kernel, you can over clock that more. Sorry about that

 

[Edwill86]

The next notch is at about 1.4ghz I'll be OK running that?

Yup. Just don't go too wild past that.

I'm not running setcpu Franco's app only goes to 1344mhz so I'll Max out the settings. Even at 1.2ghz and the new governed setting I was seeing a noticeable improvement. So this will be fine thanks.for the help!

 

[scarryman04]

The higher your clock speed the faster your battery drains just thought I'd throw that out there

The app goes as high as your current kernel will.. Since you're on his milestone 4 it makes sense he doesn't push the milestones too hard.

Also this...always a tradeoff .

 

[Edwill86]

so If I flash the Nightly r196 that might be less stable but allow higher GHZ?

I am not going to right now but more info the better

I can also flash from the app imoseyon's Leankernel Stable 3.10.0 and exp 3.9.0exp6-230

if that means anything to you guys.

 

[dmmarck]

Yes. Lean kernel is also available through franco's app .

Phone will heat up as well. If you keep your phone in your pocket you will feel the heat.

Nope it wont!

have the setting for the kernel for screen off max mhz set to 729mhz

you guys should really look into the franco kernel updater app. $3.07 out of my remaining nexus 7 Play credit was worth it.

I've owned the app since it was released

Since the OMAP 4460 was underclocked from 1.5GHz to 1.2GHz from the factory to save battery I keep mine at 1.5. Looking at CPU Spy it seems very few functions require more than 729MHz. I streamed Netflix for a min just to get the high frequencies to show up. My question is does allowing a higher clockspeed still drain battery even if those frequencies are rarely used? I never go crazy (can go to 1.8GHz) but my phone is very stable and has "great" battery life. Just curious.

When they are used, the required voltage will be applied, so, enabling a higher clock speed does not necessarily mean quicker battery drain, but it would have an effect over time.

Also I believe our phones have the OMAP 4430, not 4460... Or am I mistaken? In any case I'm fairly sure it wasn't underclocked from 1.5, that just sounds off.. Hmm...

That's what I figured. My battery drain is much better than it was stock but that's because of the rom/kernel combo, of course. The Bionic, Razr/Maxx/GS 2 etc. have the 4430. We have the 4460

Ah ok.. I got it mixed up since I came from a bionic
