[Q] Droid a855 overclock in 2013 - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

first off let me say i am not new to rooting or overclocking. i have a original droid a855 and i have rooted it and want to over clock it, but the problem is that all the downloads i could find were megaupload links and we all know about what happend to that. so i was wondering if anybody knows where to get the evilboot kernals or is there and other over clockiing methods that will allow over 800mhz, Please help!!!! Thank You

Give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pt.com.darksun.milestoneoverclock

tried that
i already tried that and it only lets me get to 800mhz which is still better than 550mhz, but i want 1ghz. i started with this guide, it wont let me post a the link but if you google droid a85 overclock scroll down and click on the one that starts with *release* that is the guide that im trying to use
but all the links are megaupload i got the evilboot1ghz but i cant find the flash image indicated in the guide. and i flashed sp recovery and then it would not recognize the battery so i then i flashed FRG89G and that fixed the problem. but the cause of the problem was that i used a 2.1 sp recovery on a 2.2.3 install. So what i need is the 1ghz flash image that is in the guide and a sp recovery that will work on 2.2.3 please help. Thanks

Have you checked the custom roms for the droid? I'm not really aware of them as I own a Milestone, but in the Milestone CM roms, there is an option to set the min/max cpu values. It's easier and more safe than flashing all kind of hacks.

I would recommend taking a look at Prime's deprimed kernel which can be downloaded from here, it allows you to customize the overclocking, voltage, etc. When my Droid 1 was my daily driver phone I used Prime's De-primed kernel and it offered excellent performance running at 1.0 GHz, other people have been able to stably set it to 1.25 GHz as well. For more information on Prime's De-primed kernel and how to use it's features I would recommend checking out this thread.

Sorry it took me so long to get back, That looks very promising and i guess ill try it out

ok so im running cm7 and i flashed the prime kernal and went to the terminal and typed "su" enter that works then "overclock" enter, says command not found. i tried reflashing the kernal, does the same thing. please help!!!

Your sure you flashed the kernel zip in recovery correctly right? I would also take a look at this post here from Prime that tells you how to use his kernel it's possible that the other features and scripts of his kernel will work for you.

i have clock work mod recovery and i install the zip from there and the i tried the comands but it didnt work, but in setcpu or the cm7 performance settings it will allow 1ghz and the bumblebee governer. So i dont know if i should just use that or what???????

If you see that options to use the 1 GHz clock speed and bumblebee governor are available in SetCPU then you can use SetCPU and that should work fine. SetCPU is what I always used to use to tweak Prime's de-primed kernel after flashing the kernel.

Thank You for the help , ive been running it at 1ghz and bumblebee for a while now and it is sooooooooooooooo much better than stock

Best app for overclocking milestone

Hi am a new user to milestone wanted to know what was the best app to overclock milestone 1 milestone overclock 2 setcpu thanks am using The FroyoMOD v2.4.0c
If it works, the easiest way to do it is the Milestone Overclock app available in the market.
If it doesn't, then try the builtin scripts in Androidiani OR.
The last resort is to manually edit the files. That is strictly for people who know what they are doing, else you'll end up frying your phone.

try the script in androidiani,its work for me
FroyoMOD already has the overclock module. Just edit the 10overclock.
The easiest and likely to be the most secure way for an unexperienced user (if you don't set completely false values) is certainly Milestone Overclock..

I also believe this is the best way.
But the easiest one, especially for a non-experienced user is probably Milestone Overclock.
I think the best way is to edit 10overclock too.
But Setcpu can be an additional way to tune cpu versus the temperature or the battery level.
Milestone Overclock works like a charm.
I use setCPU with Smartass
My rom is ShadowMOD-BR v2.3.2b6 GINGERBREAD based with overclock PACK
250 - 900 low

The overclock flashable update zip file is inside the file that you download. So you need to extract the update file from the zip file that you download.
I have attached the 900-250 Mhz low overclock zip file for your use.
Hi, in 2.1 I used the overclock from market, but under 2.2 it does not work, it reboots the phone, so I use the mod applied by OpenRecovery 3.3
I remember that testing in 2.1 with under voltage I had problems with wiFi that have reduced distance conectivity. So using normal voltage wifi works fine for me.
So the "only" change that I does when overclocking is finally editing the script and only left the code that forces upper frecuency to stock voltage, and the others steps (like 250 or 400Mhz) I use the standard. Seems to work without problems with wifi or 3g.
Regards,
Claudio.
Working so nice!!! with that overclock! Thanks so much!

[Q] Please give me a little help on OverClocking... :(

I'm using the stock 2.2.1 rom and flash via RSDlite. The sfb file was from the top thread of this page. And when I use Androidiani 3.3 to overclocking my milestone, and reboot. The phone still running at 550Mhz. when I use Milestone Overclock to OC the phone, the phone can be overclock but without "steps". The phone can just have two frequency, 250Mhz and 1Ghz. Can anyone find out a prefect solution?
1. Is your phone root?
2. You can refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683451
1.yes
2.in milestone overclock it call me to use SetCPU...any other way to not using it?
Procedure to overclock stock 2.2.1 with AOR 3.3
Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu -> Install Mod - Conservative or Install Mod - Interactive
Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu -> Menu Overclock ( Choose the one you want )
Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu -> Install Mods Autostarts - not needed in many roms
Reboot Phone
ha great!! it works!! thanks!!
one more thing to ask, can I know the voltage level of the overclock setting? where can I edit it?

This ROM has integrated OC Daemon to control the screen state scaling. Therefore you do not need setcpu by default. However, it is a choice for you to choose to either install it or not because installing it would disable the daemon but you get to control the governors yourself and also clock it according to your preference at ease.
Do everyone know which kernel the best for OC
i've flash - jdkernel_vivo_nightly_07-26-2011 - can OC up to 1900Ghz but sometime its freeze and need to unplug battery.
so i uninstall and using only ROM - Cyanogen7_vivo_full-68- nighlies update
and RAM_Optimisations_777-CWM then Set Cpu to 1497Ghz
need advise - im noob

rcmix 3.0 is my personal fave at the moment.
Awesome battery life, can oc to 1.9ghz as well and is smooth as butter
Can you use the rcmix 3.0 kernel on a aosp rom like cm? I thought sense kernels didnt go so well with aosp roms..id
go with the tiamat kernel for aosp roms like cm.

done this. no good. this module i have found to work with every other rom i have use'd but no good for gxp
should not need custom kernal. if anything kernal cause more problem than good in this early stage of development
Are you using stock SE kernel or what?

@ALL with the problem.
Check your baseband in settings>>about phone.
it should read something like this >> M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
if it isn't, i'ved attached the latest X8 stock kernel. just unzip and flash with Flashtools.
Edit: I just realized you're using GingerXperia. this particular ROM checks your baseband and will not install unless you're on 015. so, this might not help. But, there's no harm in trying.
As a followup:
Since you're using GX ROM. that means you're, rooted, jitted and Xrecvr'd (CWM'd).
Next, is your bootloader unlocked? Did you load any of the custom Kernel? because if you did, the only overclockable Kernel right now is FXP OC Kernel.
The OC Module only work with the Stock Kernel.
if kernel doesnt support oc.you need to install oc module by yourself editing hw_config.sh and push the module to lib/modules.
The 'overclocking is a procedure that can hurt your loved x8 ergo follow this guide at your own risk!
requirements:
- Rooted
- Banda Basic x15
- SetCPU
1) Download x8oc V004 http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1302528982
2) Extract the file and copy it on the sd x8oc.ko
3) By RootExplorer x8oc.ko copied to / system / lib / modules
4) Always go through RootExplorer / system / etc, hold down the file menu and hw_config.sh which opens in selected Open Text Editor
5) At the beginning put this line
code:
insmod / system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko # x8 overclocking
6) Save the changes and restart the phone
hope i helped

As of now, there are no Custom KERNELS that support the OC, MDDI, UV and Gesture Modules, except the Stock KERNEL.
All Custom KERNELS, except FXP OC enabled KERNEL, have already embedded the aforementioned modules, except the OC module.
Most ROMS, except FXP, already have the Modules installed.
in short. Custom Kernels = no overclock
if you want OC and custom KERNEL then use FXP OC KERNEL.
The instructions provided above are for ROMS.
hi we got no custom kernal. my baseband has always been on xxx15 so no need to upgrade their for OC'ing. and to be honest we wouldn't even b able to have this rom on our phone if we didn't have that baseband.
@ nizoorox IGNORE everything the people have said to try and help. i already tried most of it anyway. no i am not unlock my bootloader and have custom kernal untill they are better developed.
NIZOOROX this is how we OC gingerXperia.. simple update to GingerXperia V010.
i did it last night and now i can overclock without doing anything special.
just go to cyanogen mod setting's - performance - cpu - then click overclock and select what Mhz you want t use

how to overclock the Cappy

our cappy is fast as it is on 4.2 but i have yet to overclock a phone yet and i hear its not like taking the risk of OC your computer so i would like to try it out on the cappy first. so i have googled this already and it comes up with somone already OC it to 1.2 ghz which i would be fine with but in order to OC you need to flash a kernal i think it said? i am not fimilular with kernals with all of the phones i have messed with i have yet to touch kernals, the only time i have flashed a kernal (had a interesting custom recovery) was to root my cappy to put CM on it and got CWM after. i dont see the points of them other than more customization which im not interested in, so how would i go about doing this can someone help me out please?

You do indeed need a custom kernel that allows it. Flashing them is fairly simple, you just need a Odin flashable version if you don't wanna go the custom ROM way.
Make sure that your kernel is made for the current version your phone is running and that it's for the I897! As per your signature, Corn kernel would be your best option as it is for GB.

as of last night i flashed Cyangenmod to get CWM and then flashed paranoid android 3.99, mines a I896 btw i think since i got a bootloop its on At&t/firmware. (only useing on wifi for now) i had corn kernel before to get a recovery and root but if i want to OC it would i have to get corn kernel again? it was a pretty slow boot up every time i turned it on with the stock rom.
No you don't have nor want to. Corn is for GB, if you flashed CM, you're probably on JB.
You'll just have to flash a JB kernel that allows OC (like devil).

Buddy, read carefully what kernels are compatible with what ROMs and what Android versions.
The information you need is already available here on XDA in Captivate Android Development section.

so i was looking through some of my stuff on my cappy (cyangenmod 10.1.3 on it) and i looked at the performance option and it has the option to overclock it to 1.2 GHz, would i have to flash a special kernel? or am i fine like this?
Default CM kernel supports 1.2GHz step overclock, just set it and test for stability issues. Nothing else is needed.

hi im sorry to butt in here. Please help. Where can I read the instruction for overclocking galaxy tab 3 t211. I have my device rooted, with twrp, with infamous rom, I have the kernel zio but have not flashed yet. I tried but it replaces the apps im not sure maybe im just ignorant, I restore the back up rom and im not sure if the kernel is still here. Im new to this please help me I just want to get rid of this sooo lag in my phone. I dont know what to do. ThaNk you so much

first of all the t211 is a tablet not a phone . you have a dual core clocked at 1.2ghz im sure thats pretty fast i think its because you have too many apps. if you still want to overclock ask at the q&a section of its offical forums here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3 . cyanogenmod sometimes have the option to overclock their devices, i would check that out as well

OC is a kernel option so simply flash a kernel that allows it. That being said, you're not on the right sub-forum like Trozzul mentioned. Be sure to flash one for your tablet. OC has its disadvantages so make sure you read about it before going through with it.
