isnt 1.2ghz a liitle extreme? what's so important that cannot run on 700-800mhz?
Before asking you should have tried searching the forums because there are a lot of threads and post about overclocking and about different cpu configurations

Sorry I haven't search the forum...I have tried milestone overclock and overclock my phone to 1.2Ghz...its ok but eventually the it make my phone slow after 8hrs of testing it

Xperia x8 overclock 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.

put a alfs kernel, and you have overclock module with fully working )

Actually nAa does a better job in that.
Maximum frq in alfs is 806 but in nAa 825 is available too

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.

[Q] Can't Overclock my ACE

i know this is noob but here i go,
Well this strange thing that bothers me. when ever i try to OC, with a OC kernel my phone's CPU drops to 600mhz.. donno why and there is no way around it. i tried to OC through CM7.2... its like Setting> Cyanogen > performance.. and there it shows only up to 600mhz. :crying: please help me... also i would appreciate if anyone could recommend a OC kernel for me. :laugh:

Try SetCPU

What do you mean it drops to 600MHz?
Becuase one thing is Min and Max CPU speed and other is the current speed...
+ Which ROM you have installed?
+ How do you know it drops to 600MHz?

Try setcpu app.

Are you really have the normal S5830? Maybe you have for example cdma edition of Ace (if it exist).

Max oc is 600... Tried setcpu. No good

Oh.and I am using lewa rom with its kernel
Edit: I dug a little bit on specs and I foubd out that my ace is having a 'arm v6 compatible processor rev 5 (v61)... how could this happen. Not what I expected. :'(
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app

Is this normal for one?

Well it's simple when I load an app to read or modify my cpu frequencies, every app I've tried shows my min and max frequencies as the same (@1.7), I think this is a bug, I don't think my phone is running at full speed always
Btw my phone is running stock ROM 1.29.1540.17 stick kernel
What do you think?

stock kernel tends to do that. minimum jumps from 384 to 1728. happens to me all the time on stock kernel

But it doesn't means we are running @ full speed isn't it? I don't think so because I got almost 5 hrs screen on and 14 hrs stand by

Mine does the same. I just set minimum to 384 and frequency lock it.

I think whenever there's a heavy load the kernel temporarily jumps the minimum to the maximum. It actually keeps the minimum at 384 otherwise.
At least this is what my research has led me to believe.
Guessing its to make things quicker (like opening apps, waking the phone up). There's no reason to frequency lock it.

Benefit of disabling CPU cores?

Is there a way to limit the amount of cores that can be active on a custom kernel? I am using eprj kernel and am able to disable 2 cores using trickster mod but I really want to try optimus kernel but I can't find out how to disable the cores
Also is there a significant battery improvement if you disable 2 cores and run at 1ghz or is it better to enable all cores and run at 716 mhz?
Sent from my Optimusx4 using xda app-developers app

I'm trying two cores in iodak at 1400 is really smooth but I can't tell anything about battery because I'm starting to try now, only thing I can tell you is that dual core at 1 is better than four cores at 716, why? Some apps runs great at 1 GHz and only use one core, so that app at 716 will work slow and laggy, there is not so much apps that works with all four cores enabled and that apps will work well in two cores enviroments

Thanks I can take a little bit of lag because I really want better battery life and am trying both 2 cores at 1ghz

Also how is iodak working for you? I read that someone couldn't get the max CPUs online value to stick on the latest version

iodaks is working great for me, the V07 version, and yes, i use tegra overclock app and it works great
