GPU overclock? Possible? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok guys,i got this idea when i saw gpu overclocked kernels for x1.we all know x1 is an winmo device,and its running android from sdcard.and gpu is really highly overclocked,even up to 1000 +mhz.so,i suppose it could be possible for x8.maybie through modules.or we need to wait for bootloader crack.but,since we have amazing devs,i think it could be done.
Maybie someone could pass this to AnDyX and doixanh,so they could see what can be done.

[Q] Linpack scores and the Wildfire

I've had my Wildfire since a few days before the UK release (a lucky call to T-Mo one morning!) and generally I quite like it.
However, I can't break 1.5 MFLOPS on Linpack, no matter what I try.
I normally run WildPuzzleROM 7.3.1, on a stock kernel. This gets me at best, 1.3. So I tried a few different flavours of Froyo; WildPuzzle, Cyanogen and Openfire. At each point, I've tried the stock kernel as cooked with the ROM, and also HCDR.Jacob's kernel. I've installed SetCPU each time, trying it on performance and standard, even with both the sliders pushed right up. I've done the tests before installing any other apps I use, and without any installs, downloads, etc, going in the background.
And despite all of this, I cannot break 1.5.
Am I expecting too much from the Wildfire? Or is there something wrong with my device on a hardware level?
Any help would be appreciated.
Chris
hmm there might be somthing wrong as i get around 4.7-5.099 on openfire
Its low because you're on stock with no overclock or jit
As before, I AM using a non-stock ROM, and have tried a few different non-stock kernels, including pre-overclocked and ones overclocked using SetCPU.
When I used Wildpuzzle ROM v.8.0.11 with non OC Kernel(did not boot), I had round about 1,9 MFLOPS. Now with Openfire v. 2.2 on 710MHz I get results between 4,5 and 4,7 MFLOPs. I'm using no system tools or something. Maybe slow sd card?! I'm using samsung 2gb which was preinstalled when I bought my wf.
I managed a 3.65 @ 768MHz yesterday on CM6.1. I was getting about 2.1 on Wildpuzzle 8.0.8 but without any OC kernel.
I just ran another test on CM6.1 with JIT turned on and got 3.48 @ 768MHz. Is there any way to boost this further?
I'm still really impressed and awestruck at how much better the phone is with these mods. It's like a got a whole new model now

That's probably it. I've only got 3-4 apps installed and just did a complete wipe of the sd-card.
And another thing, do you have your phone overclocked to 768 constantly or does it change depending on system load? Becouse I do usually have my phone set to overclock when needed, but I set the clock speed to always stay at 768 before I run the banchmark to be sure the cpu runs at maximum speed.
I am using cm [email protected] 768hmz and getting 5.16 with jit on...
And with jit off, i get 3.3 maximum @ 768hmz

I'm using OpenFire 2.3 and just gut 2.2 MFLOPS on linpack, i suppose not so good. I wonder what is JIT and how can i be sure if it is on or off.
It says it's on by default on openfire but i wanna be sure coz 2.2 score is pretty low. How can i check that?
Sorry for the dumb question coz i'm new to android.

JIT is,(without getting all technical on you), the new compiler in Froyo that makes thing go faster.
But I don't know how to check if it's enabled in openfire, I used openfire a while back but cant remember seeing anything about JIT in the settings. It might be so that it is always enabled and you can't disable it.

There are packages in the open fire thread that lets you turn jit on or off...

you need to install setcpu and get the cpu speed higher to get higher scores
I search application Linapack.apk beacause she is not find the market on wildfire .
Please a URL for download apk .
Thank you , sorry for english because i m french .
I get about 3.1 with CM 6.1 + JIT, non-overclocked, HCDR 4.1 Kernel
I got around 5.08 MFLOPS (@768 & JIT on) with danne_jo's new custom rom based on 2.1 eclair

there you go
to know if JIT is enabled type in ADB or in Terminal
adb:
:adb shell
:dalvikvm -h
you should see below "with JIT"
terminal
:su
dalvikvm -h
you should see below "with JIT"
If its disbaled you should see "fast"

[Q] Overclock vs ram hack

Hello, I've tried searching the g1 forums for the answer, but couldn't find anything, so I'll post here.
I've tried superD with ram hack and superD nonRH with universal overclock.
With the oc non-ram hacked version, I was able to get 3.2 in linpack, but for the ram hacked non-oc superd I was only able to get 2.3.
So my question is, does the ramhack affect linpack speed? And which setup is better? I'd love to have both but unfortunately I don't think we can have both ramhack and overclock.
Thanks in advanced.
Anybody have opinions or advice on this?
Thanks

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Overclock PLEASE READ

This thread is somewhat different from others. I am fully aware that overclocking requires a custom kernel however with the Application "Galaxy Tuner" my CPU on my SGS i9000 can go 1.2GHZ with a custom Voodo Kernel not supporting Overclock. I am not sure what method the guy uses and he only allows it to be used 2 minutes at a time, so I was wondering if this would be just as risky / safe to do as going into a new kernel and doing such.
If the first is not possible and I would have to use a custom kernel as it is safer, please PM me some kind of contact information as I am afraid I will break my Phone as I use a custom Voodo kernel + DArkys EXTREME ROM 9.X
Still need to know wheter or not it is safe to overclock the way the application "Galaxy Tuner" does or if its SAFER to do it with a custom OC'ing kernel.
If last, I need some help over Skype / msn

I wouldn't expect anything, just because people like me view it doesn't mean we know anything about it.....why don't you email the author of the app.

Exactly, views don't mean answers! It can be frustrating seeing a lot of views and no answer, but you must acknowledge that viewers may be looking for the answer themselves or just plain don't know. Be patient.
Well. Still, I am wondering about the overclocking that The application uses (Galaxy Tuner) because it manages to overclock a phone WITHOUT a custom OC'ing kernel. Hence i am wondering if it is just as SAFE to do as using a custom kernel.
If not, I need some guidance as I dont know how I can switch my kernel and update my ROM
The code to overclock existed on stock kernel sources apparently, it was just commented out.
When OC in this app is enabled, the CPU governor is changed to performance, and the clocks were changed. So I'd wager it's equivalent in terms of safety to a custom kernel.
Why only do the above for 5 minutes at a time when a custom kernel allows you to always have an overlclock? Just use a custom kernel..
I'm using a custom kernel to overclock to 1.2ghz and my battery is exactly the same as it's always been. I'm also underclocking to 100mhz with setCPU when the phone is idle so that's a big help. It's perfectly stable on mine but CPUs can differ so I suggest that if you do flash a custom kernel with overclock that you start lower and stress test just to make sure there are no issues. Also, don't save any voltage control settings as default until you have applied and stress tested.
Also, make sure to keep a spare kernel in zip form and always have backups.
I use super optimized kernel. Though I am looking for a 500-1000 HZ OC kernel. Any suggestion?
I don't know what method this app is using, but just due to my own paranoia I would say using a kernel with OC is safer. Too many horror stories of apps bricking phones due to small errors or badly written instructions.
Beyond that, it just takes experimenting. I am currently using DamienGTO's Ultimate Kernel OCed to 1200 and have had no problems with it, but there are a lot of high quality kernels available down in the Android Development forum. I suggest you install SGS Kernel Flasher from the market (a great app, makes kernel flashing painless and dead simple), download the newest versions of each kernel that says it supports OC, and spend a day flashing and testing. Just remember to disable any OC/UV, lagfixes or tweaks between flashings.

[Q] @Stefan Gündhör - Noob request

Hello Stefan,
I'm changing ROMs quiet often. Right now I'm on your Hybrid Revolution.
I like it very much - thanks for that.
Now my problem: My Phone is pissed when I use a Kernel witch comes with overclocking. If there is An 'OC' somewhere inside
the kernel's name, my phone gets stuck at the first boot logo.
Now I use temasek's kernel, wich is also fanstastic. But I really like to try yours.
Is it possible to create a 'STOCK' SymbiOsis? Whould be great.
Thanks for your great work.
PS - I still love my O2x.

Hi!
Have you already tried symbi0sis? My kernels have a special patch which restricts cpu speed completely to 1,0 GHz if not overclocked. Other OC kernels have cpu speed "leaks" and peek the maximum speeds for a short time when second core is activated,
Please try the HOC version of symbi0sis (not UHOC)

Hello,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, I tried them all. I can even not boot Your gueste Hybrid revolution with the standart kernel, I have to exchange it first.
I just saw that there is a new GUESTE2X STOCK "GoodBye" Rom. I will try this as soon as possible.
Thank you for something new to play with.

CPU run one core, help!

i up rom cook of andreamalachi, when i check cpuz: cpu is running one core, so my phone run very slow. I want cpu run two core or more, Can everyone help me to solve problem
it's kernel issue....ask for developer of that ROM for a fix.
