Now that the kernel source is available, won't we be able to overclock our mobiles?
Guess i got a little bit envious with all the overclocking that has being going on with other phones.

A bit of using search never really hurt anyone before...
So is it possible yet.

Been possible for last 3months. Just find a kernel with oc support and get setcpu. Frankly its not worth it as setcpu is a piece of **** app that make your system unstable. As other poster said. Do a damn search

But for froyo? Maybe is asking for it.
maybe someone with the tallents could have a look into this OC method they use for droid x and milestone using a kernel module, this would enable us to overclock any froyo kernel.

It would be nice to have it in the kernel. 100 to 1200 that the system controlling like it already do. No setcpu crap.

also setcpu is not to blame for the problems, as it runs just well on galaxy i7500 for overclocking. i´m not sure what the problem wit it is on SGS, but i´m pretty its not setcpu´s fault

The problem is that SGS doesn't like different CPU governors! It will only work if you don't touch the governor settings! At least that is what I have found to work in the Eclair builds!

Seems ignorance is bliss for some of our fellow xda folks. SetCPU is not even needed for those oc kernels unless you want to change scaling from default schema. It really don't contribute to the unstablity, just that the kernels seemed inefficient.

I agree. Don't install SetCPU and the kernel is reasonably stable, but crashes miserably when running cup intensive apps. We have to work harder developing a kernel which works well for our hardware.

kernel was very much stable. It is just that hummingbird is bad for overclocking. Not all phones can be overclocked, sadly.

I can understand what you are suggesting, however why was it still unstable when I tried to disable 1.2GHz or 1.13GHz frequency keeping the original scaling and running at 1GHz or less??
Is that 0.2 bump really noticeable?

dont know which version you used.
1.13 was quite old. All recent versions were 1.2. Anyway, nevermind =)
Yeah, do want a OC'able kernel - the 1.2GHz kernels for Éclair were always stable enough for me if I didn't try to UV it.
Id be open to using a 1.2Ghz OC if its 100% stable and no wake-up bugs and ofcourse should not affect the life of my CPU that much and should not drain my battery more than 10% faster

I'm guessing no since tegra drivers are close-sourced. But I could be wrong.
The GPU is indeed Overclock able, and the epeen version of vorkKernel for CyanogenMod Overclocks the GPU a little

The GPU is overclocked from 355Mhz to 366Mhz, on the EPEEN version of vorkKernel. But remember only to flash it if you're running CyanogenMod
Wiki says original is 300mhz for 2x or am i missing something? Btw strange thing ive noticed when running multitouch benchmark try to add more than two fingers and whatch fps drops from 120 fps to 60.. is that normal or there is touch bug like there was in optimus p500.

300Mhz might be the default. In that case we have some OC on the default one too.
Lag might occur on touch depending on ROM and stuff. One some devices a lot of log spam happens, and this slows down the device considerably
Ok thank you, same drops on cm7 fresh install as on fresh stock v10b its like 10 fps for each finger..

It's kernel doesn't support OC, you should flash an alternative kernel like swiftkernel, see thread in dev section.
And you're off topic, his thread if about gpu overclock, not CPU.

GPU is the graphics chip.
CPU is the chip used for everything else.
Overclocking the CPU will see performance gains in nearly every field, and the Tegra 2 can be overclocked from 1GHZ to 1.55GHZ or so.

oh thanks , but what is it that we usually overclock??
is it the cpu or the gpu??
seen o2x with 1.5ghz
so is it the cpu that is oc or the gpu??

just a quick through :
cpu can be overclocked(controlled by pimp my cpu/setcpu)
gpu based on source code can be overclocked too, but i can't find any voltage control that control gpu clock. so, overclock gpu is really minimal, from usual 335mhz to 366mhz. in benchmark, you won't see any noticeable score. so, i don't know if the gpu overclocking working fine or not, 30mhz increase seems not helping...
cheers...
Is there any way to reach 400mhz?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
Yes it comes.. but based on my testing,it will cause black screen of death after screen turn off for several minutes. Normal clock or a little increase doesn't make those problem.

Hi there,
I installed 4 modules: fix mddi, undervolt, dual touch, and faster wifi.
I decided to overclock my phone and it seems to be slowing down my phone rather than what it says by speeding it up.
Could it be because i am on semc stock kernel?
After some frequencies it happens to slow...its stock kernel fault.

The OC module has a problem in that when the module is activated it will underclock (correct me if I am wrong) if the OC frequency set is too low (abt 600MHz to 691MHz). Just don't set the OC frequency too low or stop using x8oc.

I just read dx's thread as i was interested in undervolting. x8oc.ko will only undervolt once your frequency goes below 600mhz.
@ftwisawesome: are you using "smartass" governor? Try switching to ondemand to check if it slows your phone like you said. And i believe you don't need to undervolt as spyder said it's already built in the oc module. (You are using x8oc.ko, right?)

Oh gosh I said UNDERCLOCK, not UNDERVOLT. The 2 are different and what I meant is that if you insmod x8oc and set it to, say, 600MHz, it will not really clock at 600MHz, it will clock at a lower speed.

Oh, my bad. Sorry about that.
No idea adt the underclock thing, but it does seem that way (ie: cpu set at "600mhz" using module really seems slower than 600mhz before applying it).
Really sorry man..

Change the governor to "performance" and watch if it happens again.

I noticed there is a CPU control in "ROM Toolbox". I was thinking about underclocking it to 1.2 Ghz.
So my question is, are there any downsides with doing this except that the phone getting a little bit slower?
EDIT: Does it matter with what app i underclock? Setcpu or ROM Toolbox..

Im rooted on Speednote kernel.. My bad, should have mentioned it..
Speedmod does not support those tweaks... You need the notecore OC in order to be able to do so..
It's the same whatever app you use.. To change the frequency... Setcpu /etc

Why uc it slows performance I would try and find a kernel you can undervolt that will save heat and battery because it useing less voltage
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Put it this way. I am running Android 0.8 with the matching kernel (can't remember name) but that UC the graphics I believe and also has options to have min / Max speeds on CPU.
My Max speed is ALWAYS set to 800mhz. I'll be honest, I don't really notice any massive lag or slow down, the odd moment here and there when loading apps or taking a photo, but nothing major.
Battery life is a lot better when underclocked obviously. Give it a try, you may find it perfect for your requirements... it certainly is for mine.

Underclock under 200mhz has some downsides regarding performance/battery consumprion. U should checj the notecore kernel (hydra kernel) and search in there gavin's explanation

Hi Rivan =) ..if you from some reason just want to underclock to 1.0 or 1.2 you can safely do that with rom toolbox or setcpu. There should not be any downsides from doing it in any of those two apps as far as I know, except for that your phone will become a little slower as you mentioned yourself.

Depends on why you are underclocking.
If you are looking for better battery life then you are better off flashing HydraCore (formerly NoteCore) as this is an undervolted kernel, then selecting a low drain governor using ROM Toolbox Pro.

So im on a custom rom cm 11.1 preview 4.4 unlocked bootloader and have messed around with many roms but thats my daily driver, i have been experincing my phone shutting off, no error, no noise just off, sometimes it will power back on other times i have to wait a bit anyone no anything i dont lmao help would be awsome thanks guys

First off, this should be in Q&A, not general. If you put [Q] in the title, think about where you're posting.
Second, I've had the same thing. Are you using arrrghhh's kernel? What kernel settings do you have set? Are you overclocked/underclocked?
I tried underclocking and it becomes much more frequent. I'm overclocked to 384/max right now to see if it will subside.

Been overclocked for 2 hours, only one crash/reboot a few minutes after overclocking, none since.
