How to overclock

Is there any way to overclock X1 with android?

add acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=X to your cmdline, where X is the desired frequency in KHz. Works smooth for me with 640000, but ymmv

interesting
Where exactly to add acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=X
i added it to startup.txt but i guess its not there. ANy help.

freeze. works at 639000 - its max to me
I'm using setcpu+setcpu.txt at SDcard and the value of the CPU to overclock higher than 639000 does not work. what to use to get the steping overclocking up to 691 or 710MHz?
or modify kernel to support overclocking up to 710!
who is able to.plz.thx

I can run on 691200Mz

How did you do that...i only get 595.

what the F#$#!!!!!
in fact 595000 for me is unstable
"process no response" are frequently appears.
i'm running on 528000
ToT.... Orz....

I got mine running @ 633mhz, did not try higher yet.
Just set in in the startup.txt like the others said.

need overclocking higher 652MHz zImage for fully working on BareboneCM6.1 26-11-2​010 !!!

clocking at 633 now... haven't tried higher.. works fine

for me it works stable at 670000 max.
the cpu clock widget says 653 though...
it must calculate 1MHz = 1024kHz, but why? those ain't no bits..
Cheers

cause the clock source is 19.200 MHz, so you get
(670000 / 19200) * 19200 == 652800 MHz

i overclocked it to 580 mhz. i dont see a difference. ill try with 600+

you note difference when you play games..like angry birds lite (the beta version) is very smoothly! yeaah!
i have neopeek cm6.0 29.11.2010 rom with 3d driver 29.11.2010 and the new kernel v4b.
i have setcpu and setcpu.txt
set profile: "turn off screen" with only 19 mhz and drained the battery 93% to 88% in 7 hours!! from 3am to 10am!! awesome!! with wifi on and sync too!!

My overclock use setcpu is not smooth for Angry Birds

I run the FRX3 Andriod.But only overclock is under 633Mhz.Up 633,like 652,Will be reooted the mobile.How can I overclock to 710Mhz???

How can I overclock to 710Mhz???

need a kernel to support 710 or higher processor frequency!this currently does not exist! have to ask neo, sp3dev or seandon to release such Kernel(zImage)

tks pak1to.anyone can run 710MHZ with X1 for Andriod???

Below mention settings of my x1 ,please tell me how can i increased by cpu speed.

Thank you soo much for this. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your work! Also, is NTFS support for the microsd card possible or kernel related? Please reply. Thanks!

Any chance of clocking the gpu at 512 MHz. It makes my nexus more responsive and I don't notice any negative effect on battery.

Thanks for all your hard work! I look forward to seeing what else you come up with!

One thing I desperately need is mass storage support. However, I am not asking that of you (IDK for sure if that would involve the kernel or the ROM or both, anyway). I would like some help with my ad hoc solution. I have this program NetDrive that can mount an FTP connection as a local drive, which is great in conjunction with FTPDroid as a replacement for mass storage. My only problem is that I cannot use FTPDroid where there is no Wi-Fi, so at home I have to use cyansmoker's Alt Mounter, which only sets up FTP for /sdcard. So, is there any chance you could set the kernel to mount the external SD card within the /sdcard folder (I know there are some ROMs for other devices that mount it under /sdcard/sd)?

Do we use Odin or CWM to load the kernel? Which app do u use to overclock. Just receives my tab today

I flashed this kernel and all works well. But my tab is running hot, I guess I should have asked before flashing.
------------------------------------------------------------
"init.d support - you need to create the directory (/system/etc/init.d)"
"Overclock up to 1.3GHz"

Do I create a file called init.d under /system/etc or a folder called init.d under /system/etc
I have the paid version of Tegrak installed, is this how I would change the OC parameters or do I use another method.
Without doing anything Tegrak reports that I am running at 1.3GHZ.
Thanks in advance...

Mine runs warm along the left side (holding in portrait) even with the stock kernel.... curious to feel this kernel after.
So I installed the kernel and my microsd is not mounted as /sdcard2. What am I missing?

[krn.modules] intellidemand governor for Arc / Arc S stock Kernel (ICS)

Upon request from fellow member ascariz on the smartassV2 governor, I've compiled intellidemand module for Arc 4.0.3 stock kernel.
Since the firmware I use is the Arc S one (ICS 4.0.3) - I believe this module will also work for Arc S.
To fully configure / install the module, please check this page for a similar module I did for X10 back in the days - page.
Some things are different, but if you want to hand customize all possible parameters after phone starts up, the path to check is
Code:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq

Use it at your own risk!

Awesome. Not trying to be greedy but can we have BoostedAssV2 too ? xD

OMG. you really do it?! tq mate!

After a day of testing, I'm switching back to smartassV2.
With smartassV2:
a) the time in state shows me about 16-17% at 1Ghz, and the others at 122MHz. Intermediate frequences are rarely used.
b) battery was about 40% at the end of the day with my usage (4 email accounts doing sync at 15 minutes - I'm not using push, but k9 connects) - also half of the day in an area where 3G signal is weak and phone swiches back and forth.
With intellidemand:
a) the time in state is 6% for 1GHz which might look better in comparison with smartassV2.
BUT:
b) the phone is sluggish and you can feel it needs a bit of time (1 second ?) to pick up speed, UI animations are choppy.
c) it does make use of the intermediate frequencies - but battery was about 20% when I got home, identical usage as previous day with smartassV2.
In both cases, screen was always kept at 25%.
Now my conclusion is that:
a) intermediate (but high) frequencies have similar battery usage as maximum frequency.
b) spending more time in an intermediate frequency makes things slower to finish and thus, based on point a) drains battery more.
Also, the code of intellidemand is more complex (.ko size is +20Kb more) as opposed to smartassV2 - and thus I guess it also takes more time (energy) to compute the correct frequency. In itself, a complex algorithm to compute the next state takes its toll.
smartassV2 does perform better with my usage pattern - and I'm curious why this governor is claimed to be advanced I mean algorithmically it surely is, but phone is more sluggish + more battery drain (not significant, but about 20% in my basic, 1 day test).
I will focus my attention on other *ass governors

this is intellidemand and smartassv2 modules that you can load in 2 way.
1) for those who use stock kernel that not support init.d, use script manager to load MODULELOADER script at start up. after flash, browse at system/etc/init.d folder and you will find the script.
2) for those who use kernel with init.d supported (e.g. Cobrato kernel), do nothing. just flash it and you ready to go.

Doesn't work man. :/ The new governors aren't showing up in No Frills CPU..using Cobrato's kernel.

First you must use the stock kernel from Sony's official 4.0.3 release for Arc S (even if having the Arc).
Any other kernel will not work ... (or very slim chances to work).
Second, please check using Module Loader app (but only activate the boot time loading of the module after you are sure the things work).

I have the ARC S lol, and Cobrato's kernel is Stock 4.0.3 kernel with init.d support.

Hmm...I thought you didnt have to use module loader for the flashable zips ? :/ Because the module loader shows 'Starting modules...' in the middle of any game (Like Temple Run) and it begins to lag horribly, this pisses my friends off. I want to show them how great a phone Arc/S is. :/

Ok, if it has the same version number then it will load the modules ok (as well as having the same binary kernel image).
I think the OS kills Module Loader to regain some memory, then starts it back when memory level gets better (kills it when game / heavy app starts, then as memory becomes available, it starts it back). But Module Loader has a bug and when started also loads the modules
Another solution is to use Script Manager ( http://www.androidsoftware.us/Applications/Script-Manager.html ) to run a script at boot (a small script that just do the insmod).
Hope it helps...

CPU variant

Hi all
I'm quite sure some of you had seen my previous post on trying to find out your cpu variant. What this shows is essentially how much voltage is needed to keep your CPU running at a certain frequency. The less the voltage needed, the higher your CPU variant. This is essentially CPU binning. CPUs with higher variants tend to be of higher quality (i.e. more stable at higher frequencies) so this could help us with undervolting and overclocking on cuatom kernels.
Variants run from 0 to 3, with 3 being the best variant. After digging around in the kernel source, I found out a way to determine your CPU variant.
The command is this (in root shell) :
Code:
cat /proc/last_kmsg | grep "CPU Process"
Make sure if you have busybox installed. Remember, CPU variant is not a big deal, they are all equally capable of 1.4GHz quad core. You cannot change it, you get it by luck/lack of luck. CPUs binned as low variants might actually be better than their assigned variant since these are tested in batches and they take the average of the whole batch.
Example output:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # cat /proc/last_kmsg | grep "CPU Process"
[70:01:01 00:00:00.000] Tegra Revision: A03 SKU: 0x81 CPU Process: 0 Core Process: 0
The number after the words "CPU Process" indicate your variant.
Remember: this is only meant to serve as a guideline when undervolting/overclocking comes about with custom kernels.

Does it have the overclock module and does it load properly? As far as I know if you have stock kernel the only way to overclock is via module.
Check system/lib/modules if you have x8oc.ko. I suppose that's the file you're going to use to overclock the phone. If you don't then download it and put it there.
If you have it, open Terminal Emulator and write:
su
dmesg | grep x8oc
You should receive the output that it loaded successfully. If you get no output, the module isn't running.
If you have it and it isn't running, then open Terminal Emulator and write:
su
insmod system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko
This should run the module and allow you to switch frequencies. Start testing the frequencies with whatever CPU app you use.
When you're satisfied with the performance, add the insmod command to hw_config in system/etc and echo the clock value that suits you. You can find more information about this in the x8oc thread. Don't worry about reboots, make a backup before trying, and make sure you don't edit the hw_config file until you're sure the clock is stable.

Thank you it helped. I can now overclock
