SystemPanel App - doesn't show "live" CPU Clock speed

[spiff72]

Hey everyone,

Just moved to UD 2.3.0 from another ROM (Sapphire 1.1.1), and so far it is SWEET! I will probably be upgrading to the 2.4.0 version later today.

I just have a couple of questions about overclocking for the experts out there...

I am on the Droid 1, and using the latest Slayher 1200 kernel (max 1100, min 300). I was at 1200, but I had a spontaneous reboot last night while in the Market updating a few apps.

1. Is SetCPU even needed on this ROM? It appears that there are built in overclocking settings within the "Ultimate Settings" menu, and I have been using them (successfully as far as I can tell). I actually uninstalled SetCPU for this reason. This leads to question 2:

2. I also run an app called SystemPanel. It monitors various factors (battery, cpu, etc) and runs in the background. Previously, when I would run the program and look at the live stats, it would show a visual indicator of the current clock speed and the numeric value. Now, it just shows as zero. Is this related to the ROM, or is it related to the kernel?

Here is a screenshot:

With SetCPU, you had a way to view the "live" clock speed if you wanted (with either the active widget) within the app itself.

Finally, what is your recommendation regarding the governor? I have always used the "ondemand" option, but I have heard others like the "interactive"...

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

The one thing I can comment on is your observation in system panel not showing the "real time" cpu speed....Slayhers kernels have never displayey the real time cpu speed in system panel, nor do they show the "time in state" in setc cpu nor do they show cpu info in "android system info" app, regardless of the rom (petty reason, but that is the reasons i dont use them, they are great kernels, but i find that info helpful at monitoring what ur cpu is doing, so i stick with chevys) It seems some kernels show that info others do not, & some seem to show that info sporadically.

So this is a kernel limitation - not the ROM? Are you using chevy's kernel with UD 2.3.0?

Thanks for the response!

I can say with confidence its a kernel thing...I have used chevys kernels with the last 3 UD roms with 100% success.

I'm using a Slayher kernel and mine DOES show a live speed. Both 1.6 and LFY work. At times, upon reboot, it won't show for a couple of minutes; I don't know why it does that, but after a few mins, I get a live cpu clock speed

Strange....mine would do just the opposite, when sporadically slayhers would show the live speed for me it was always right away after a reboot, then the first time my phone would "sleep" after waking it, would no longer display the speeds....I would like to hear others results to do with this.

I have also been using System Panel and for some time now ( not positive but maybe a couple months ) the app stopped giving me accurate clock speeds. I have used multiple kernels on multiple roms and still the same result. Sometimes the cpu clock would be active, sometimes not, but still doesn't accurately reflect my speed. I am using a Chevy ULV 1.1 and it only shows my max at 800. (which by the way is the stock max for UD 2.4). My feeling is that the app needs an update.

Are u using Setcpu or the built in cpu clock in ud settings?

SetCPU is uninstalled at the moment. I use the stock clock on ROMs that have one built in.

It is strange. Just did three tests (reboots) and got a live speed right away, on all three reboots.

In the past have u noticed at all if it would affect system panel showing the cpu speed regardless if u were using setcpu or the built in overclocking setting?

And im sure uve tried all the obvious, rebooting, wiping cache before a new kernel install, clearing data in settings/apps/manage apps/ all....etc...etc...

Other questons, does set cpu show in the "info" tab does it show the "time in state" does it have all zeros or possibly just say "null"

Also maybe install "android system info" from the market & again check it there go to "system" tab then to "cpu" what does it show? And while there refresh it a few times hit the menu rab on phone & the refresh option will pop up........& what kernel are u using when doing this?

Yep, that's why all I can figure is that its an App/kernel communication issue, however you just said it worked flawlessly on a triple reboot, sooooooooooo........I dunno, lol. Not exactly the hindering anything, everything is running smooth as butter.

What are you using to view the speed? SystemPanel? Or something else?

 

[hrdnhvy]

Agreed...its seems to be a "hit or miss" random thing.....
