[KERNEL] Kernel (deprimed_test) - Break It If You Can

[publicanimal]

I use deprimed at stock slots + msoc to overclock it to 1GHz and get amazing battery life so I imagine you are doing it wrong.

Imagine away. I imagine lots of things, and I mostly keep my imagination to myself. My battery life is fine, about 24 hours per charge, just not nearly as good as it was when I ran it at 900MHz via the deprimed script.

Ignoring your insult for now because I was trolling.. Why would you say that your your battery life isn't good? That's a drastic improvement from stock and better than you can get on almost all kernels. Seriously...

I was gonna say pretty unnecessary for someone who's trying to offer some insight. Not a very useful post when you try n criticize somebody

Lets keep the name calling by circumvention to a minimum and get back on track here.

This is not directed to anyone specific:

Let's keep this friendly... there's a lot of different experience levels out there, and most of us enjoy tinkering with the Original Gangsta. Squeezing everything we can out if this amazing device.

If things aren't civil around here people won't bother coming around and helping... (our numbers are dwindling every day)

Some of us have been playing with this kernel for six months...

I don't post alot and don't claim any real expertise, but for all my fellow lurkers lets start posting and helping those who are newer to this.

We know a lot more than we think we do.

This is a kernal that's as simple or as complicated as person wants it to be, which makes this forum tough. Different skill levels and all that jazz.

I personally try other kernals but keep coming back to primes.

My thanks go out to everyone who has ever posted here. These forums have been a godsend to me.

i hate to be a complete noob here, because i know how frustrating that can be for more advanced users, but i'm trying to read through this thread for the billionth time and it's a little over my head.

i've used the deprimed kernel many times before, but now i'd like to learn a little something. the main thing i want to do is overclock it, i'm still going to try to dig through this huge thread and figure it out but i thought maybe somebody could explain it in easier terms.

thanks for any help

Edit: Never mind. I think I figured it out. Downloaded the milestone overclock app. The version in the op.

Edit 2: So my only problem now is that I can't get the overclock to stick on boot. I have autoload checked in the milestone overclock app and I have set on boot checked in setcpu, however I don't have set on boot checked in cyanogenmod settings because I'm not using the cyanogenmod cpu settings.

If anybody knows how I can get it to stick I'd appreciate the knowledge. Thanks

Milestone overclock only allows the kernel to be clocked higher. It doesn't actually set the higher clock speed to be in use. After setting the top slot with Milestone Overclock you'll still need to use CM CPU settings, and use set on boot to have it stick.

I really suggest this thread in the cyanogenmod forums: Prime's Deprimed Test Kernel: How to An in-depth run-down of how to customize the Deprimed Kernel

MSOC allows you to test various settings, but to make them stick you ultimately will want to modify your 20overclock file. The 20overclock file is created when you run the primed command. Once your 20overclock file reflects your preferred clock speeds and vsels, they will be loaded on boot.

As for using cyanogenmods built in CPU settings, I much prefer to turn those off and use SetCPU because it will allow for profiles based on situations. At the least you will want to set it up to underclock when cpu temp gets too high. Adding a screen off and low battery profile will give you really good battery life.

Hope that helps. I remember it was a bit overwhelming at first, but once you begin customizing your 20overclock file, you will see the beauty of what prime has done for us all - true customization as opposed to off the shelf overclock kernels.

Best,
C

Edit: I went ahead and attached my 20overclock file - it peaks at 1100 w/ 68 vsel and has been stable for me. If you want to just try that, run the primed command and replace the 20overclock file in /etc/init.d/ with the one in the attached zip.

What is considered too high for the Droid? I've seen the info about battery temps in the setcpu post elsewhere around here that talks about the different profiles and governor testing, but never anything about what is considered max temps. I did look up the max supposed temps for the Omap processor but I've never seen my phone get that high so I never bothered to set a profile for it.

I'm not totally clear on this. I would guess running at high temps even below the prescribed max has some longevity tradeoff. My CPU Temp profile currently kicks in at 46c and seems to only kick in when it hot to the touch.

I would love to hear someone more knowledgeable on the subject chime in.

Here's a thread that helped me. Take a look at the end of the first post for more about temps: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/rescue-squad-guides/47871-overclocking-101-a.html
