I just installed setcpu. Select Samsung Moment. It works, but the max speed is 532.oh well.e_t

 

[Drew442]

I know with my phone only certain speeds are accepted.528 is standard and then nothing else works until 619, then nothing until 691. if i set it anywhere between 619 and 691 it drops back to 619.How big of a jump are you making?

 

[edit_text]

It's not that, I don't seem to have root on my device. Unless I missed something, all i needed to was change the permissions on su.e_t

 

[Drew442]

Ohhh, install one of the custom pre-rooted rom's perhaps.

 

[edit_text]

I'm talking about the PD Novel, bro. I think you might be confused.e_t

 

[Drew442]

Lol, yeah. I found this thread on the whats new search result. didn't look what forum you'd posted in.

 

[sharpfork2]

you likely need an overclocked rom or kernel whith doesn't yet exist for the novel. it'll happen sooner of later since we have root and the device is great for the price.Sent from my sec_smdk6410 using Tapatalk

Well, I finally got real root access, using the 'su' file and instructions here. Now with setCPU I am at least able to set the min cpu speed higher which makes the device much more responsive.e_t

For us noobs, how do I get a copy of setCPU and what value were you able to set the OC to? Is setCPU an app that is installed on the device itself? Or some process on our host desktop?

You can get SetCPU here. You will have to register to use the forum in order to download. You cannot overclock with it! However, it is not totally useless. The Novel normally runs with a Min speed of 66MHz!!! That can be adjusted to 133 or 266. At 266 the Novel is very responsive, but will probably drain the bat way too fast. For now I recommend 133, it does still leave a little to be desired but is a very noticeable difference. e_t

When I first went into setcpu, it wanted to know the device, so I selected the Samsung Moment. At first, it showed min and max both 66, so I changed the max to 532 and the min to 133. It seems snappier, but I would have felt better if I had done a benchmark before I changed it. When I go back into setcpu, it still shows the max 532 and min 133, so it looks like it is holding. When I asked setcpu to bring up the info screen, it shows the cpu freq as 532, so that appears to be correct. I wonder if it was really max'ed at 66 before? That would be kinda slow, and perhaps why the standard operation seems unresponsive at times. It seems quite responsive now. I guess I will pay with bad battery life now. I will report how it goes with the battery in a few days.

 

[edit_text]

If SetCPU allows you to change settings, you have root. I don't think a benchmark will do any good, once the benchmark start, the CPU should max out either way.BTW: SetCPU's sliders are set to the lowest position by default, before SetCPU the settings were 66/532, now 133/532.e_t

There's no way to put it higher? Is the option blocked? The CPU is the same as the moment, so technically 800 Mhz should be an option.

 

[edit_text]

Yeah, while the we cannot get the actual 800, yet (Can you imagine!!!) We can stop it from parking itself at 66Mhz. So far, for me, it seems much responsive.e_t

It was as if setcpu suddenly forgot what the max was on this unit. I have mine, as I wrote before, at 133/532 now, and it is especially responsive to the screen keypresses now. I am actually able to use the unit without a stylus for the 1st time!

 

[edit_text]

Don't forget too that we are selecting a phone in SetCPU that does support 800Mhz. Our device is not officially supported but I will take what I can get.e_t

It is the exact same CPU, so we are pretty much officially supported, with the exception of having a kernel to take advantage of it.

Thanks for the link, the instructions for root access posted in the forums were disorganized. That page you linked to worked perfectly.
