Hello people! I just succeded with rooting my LG Optimus 4X HD :victory: And the reason I did that was to increase the performance on my phone, but I couldn't find any good apps for that. I want suggestions about apps that can overclock EVERY CORE and not just a single one, please respond as soon as possible

have u done any overclocking in your whole life ? ...
you cant overclock from settings only one core. to overclock only one core u have to do a surgery to the cpu chip........
u cant overlock if the kernel does not support it. stock rom limit is 1500

Dude I just rooted my phone like 2 days ago so don't excpect me to be a pro at these stuff xD (I am a noob) But you didn't really answer my question tho :s
First,You need to install a kernel that supports overclocking, and after that you can use app like trickstermod or tegra overclock. But i would strongly suggest you to read more about rom,kernel,recovery etc. before asking such questions.

the phone doesnt have to do anything with the procedure u can overclock anything. from just a coffee machine to a kitchen , from a pc to a phone !! if a cpu has more than one core, u cant just overclock only one of them. I answered i told u the limit of the stock rom and kernel is 1500. u cant overclock. u must have a custom kernel that can support overclocking.
that means u need to unlock bootloader and flash at least a custom kernel if not a whole rom.
<<EDIT>> and just for the knowledge ! take for example samsung s3. it has a lower cpu frequency but the phone is little faster than our optimus. overclocking isnt only about rising the frequency. u can also overclock by slightly giving more voltage and faster correspondence. u have to read a lot to understand how it works. for example a mistake can make u have a slow 1700 cpu but a fast 1200 cpu. read read read read

set governor to performance, set cpuquiet to userspace. you need trickstermod app & custom kernel in order to tune this.

your cores are already at 1500. to set a perfomance governor to make them run permanently at 1500 will cause u a huge battery drain and cpu overheat. when u will go play a game the heat will enable automatically the cpu to rest so u will have actually around 1000 mhz speed. the cpu HAS to rest. the phones dont have many big fans inside to cool the board and the cpu. thats why people prefer ondemand governor usually. the cpu rests until the 1st core go to 90% usage or more and then the other cores are enabled too. when the cpu usage go below 90% one core is working again and when there isnt any need for cpu usage , the core goes down to 102 mhz.
overclocking
before you get your phone overclocked you should but in consideration that you may break your phone..over heating .... battery consumption.. don't look for performance alone >> you cant get performance with out battery drain or over heating >> just thing before you do that
You should look at how often cores 3&4 are even active. It's very rarely on my Nexus

ah c'mon he cant destroy the phone even if he wanted to. its not like he has the knowledge to decompile the kernel , change the proccessor limit to over 1700 and recompile it. so his limit is 1700 of iodak and werewolf and mokee. the thing is to understand how overclock works. he will figure it out eventually.

for the developers that know what to do , max for our phone is 1700. originally the safe overclocking at any cpu since many many years , is around 20%. after that it needs cooler. the better the cooler the more u can overclock.
Hi, trickster show me that my phone don't use the 1700 MHz. Y?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Probably it is not overclocked.
The stock higher operating frequency of p880 is 1500 MHz, and that is what your trickster diagram is showing.
So. Either your phone is notoverclocked, or in whatever kernel you are using maximum frequency is set to 1500 MHz.

I have a question: why I can't overclock my SGS past 1.2 ghz. When I try to set for example 1.3 or 1.4 it freezes and I take out the battery in order to make it work again. Is there something I do wrong, is it a general problem with more SGSs? If somebody can , I really appreciate. Thanks
it is a kernel thing.
the kernel has to support those frequencies.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I tried with tegrak overclocking with voodoo kernel (the application itself doesn't need a kernal that supports those frequencies) and with Supe Optimized Kernel (1.4 ghz) and voltage control and setcpu and is the same result:freezing.
Not every cpu is capable of stable overclocking past a certain threshold. You have probably hit the max speed your cpu can maintain.
I agree with you but then why there are other people with the same phone as me that can overclock them at 1.4 ghz?
With CM7 or miui and either bilboa or zacharius kernel you can overclock to 1300 but I haven't found a kernel that allows 1400 either, I think those that are doing it are hacking the CPU settings themselves.
My phone gets really hot at 1300 running apps like dungeon defender so 1400 might just be a bit too much

Maybe a dumb question, but, do you overvolt as well as overclock? Maybe the cpu isnt getting enough juice?

+1... not sure if there is much benefit at all to undervolting.. it just seems to make it immediately less stable...
can someone shed some light?
I've seen someone test this on another forum somewhere, and the difference the undervolting makes to the battery length is negligible..

The principles of ovetclocking a PC also aplly to phones. Undervolting reduces the power available to the CPU. Undervolt a little and you'll save a little power. Undervolt.too much and the CPU won't get enough power to do basic functions hence freezing.
Every CPU has a limit to which you can over clock. You can overvolt to a point but then then the CPU reaches its limit.
From what I understand (read in another post) the hummingbird processors are not suited to overclocking. Where the arm such as that in the Motorola milestone clock really well. (You can oc a 600mhz milestone to 1ghz before you start seeing instability)
Hope this helped.

Thanks for your time :good:
Well i have mine when I game set to 1500 low and high plus performance. It never drops and other then that. One issue I did encounter is that as long u have profiles set up and checked it will still use them regardless if u set it in the front page to a certain speed. So u need to uncheck all profiles and also uncheck the use profiles. Basically uncheck it all then even if u uncheck use profile it still will use the profile if u select one. Here a picture from what I mean. See how I unchecked everything. U need to do this to or it still will the profiles even if not checked the use profile box.

It didn't change anything for me to put the CPU @ 1,5GHz constantly. I did a test with the game Horn and its lagging exactly as with the default CPU governor enabled.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes sense, as the GPU is doing the majority of work.
Tegra 3 CPU Clocks
Based on what I understand about Tegra 3 from this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664391, the CPU has 3 different "modes". 1.5Ghz single core, 1.4Ghz dual and triple core, and 1.2Ghz quad core (At a certain temperature, remains on 1.4Ghz or 1.3Ghz until that temperature is reached... quickly). The reason why the frequencies go down is because when the phone is utilising more cores, the frequency drops too. The move from 1.5Ghz to 1.4Ghz causes lag in games at times, which is why the maximum should be set to 1.4Ghz to prevent this from occuring. Also they said that the performance governor causes 2 of the 4 cores to no longer be in use, which is NOT good for Tegra games such as ShadowGun as all 4 cores cannot be used, so they advised people only to use it for Non-Tegra games as they do not use all the cores. Hoped I helped in any way, even though I'm a new guy. I'm not sure if this applies for ALL Tegra 3 devices or just the HTC One X, but it still looks like useful information.

Thanks for your reply..but for me, the frequency doesnt drop to any of the values above, it automatically drops to1000 and mostly its on 1 core
Which brings me to another problem...i need a way to force the activation of the 4 cores simultaneously...in most games the cpu is stuck at 100% single or dual core

Most games are not optimised to use 4 cores, so I guess using only 1 or 2 cores should be normal. What governor are you using for games, because this might have an effect on the performance.

I tried all governors..performance isnt the best, idk why..userspace seems to work fine, but still when i set min and max freq above 1000mhz, it automatically drops to 1000mhz ._. and that isnt quite good for gaming, and since i bought this device over s3 for gaming, i feel f*cked
so would an update to v10F or a hard reset fix anything??
EDIT: and there 's 4 other people with the same problem and one of them has v10F so hardware problem??if so, im hanging myself
Hi!
I've found this thread which explains in detail all Governor/Schedulers characteristics and much more.
Even if the thread is SGS2 based, there is one thing that catched my attention.
It is written that setting the min CPU frequency @ 100 Mhz actually takes more power during phone standby then the 200 Mhz setting because of cpu voltages...
Does anybody has similare experiences with the Galaxy S i9000?
Which is the recommendable min CPU freq for the lowest battery consumption during Standby?
Thank you!
it depend on devices n true voltage lacking when cpu standby, but its dualcore vs single core

Man, heat isn't a problem for the One. HTC tests it at high temps. Mine for example is running at 2.16 GHz for a few months and I didn't have any problems at all... I reach high temps only when I play heavy games (max battery temp was 56.5 ℃)... The only important thing is that battery never reaches 60 ℃ which is the max safe temp for a Li-ion battery.

You have wrong information. Heat is a problem for all electronic devices. You will certainly shorten the life of the electronic components not only the battery if you keep them hot for extended periods. The reason the One has an aluminum case (besides aesthetics) is to help dissipate the heat from normal use and keep the device running for longer periods as well as extending the life of the battery.
Bumping up the max frequency doesn't mean the device is working at that frequency all the time. Specifically for a powerful device such as the One, it will only drain your battery faster.
Well I don't care of battery life... And the day I will notice problems I will go back to stock frequencies... So my question is: is there a way to OC the GPU to 500 or 600 MHz?
I will make a zip which does it okay? Do NOT complain when it blows up

Not necessarily. Faux oc'd the N4 GPU to 600mhz and no one made complaints due to the thermal throttle throttling the chip...QC and faux's implementations prevent excessive overheating.

@shahkam: Sure, I'll keep you posted!
Hi,
It won't work with just a zip file, the GPU freq (like the CPU freq) is hardcoded in the kernel, if you want test an higher overclock you need to compile your own kernel... It won't work just by editing a file... Try by yourself modifying the value in the path you find LOL, and there is not only this path (/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/*** and a few others)...
The values you'll find in certain paths are just some values matching what was hardcoded in the kernel (for to do simple).
If it was too easy to just edit some files for overclock, why devs need to compile a kernel with overclock possibility???
If some GPU/CPU freq are not available in the kernel (by the kernel dev) you cannot set them without recompiling by yourself the kernel to add some extra GPU/CPU steps.
Plus the kernel devs here have tried GPU overclock above 450 Mhz and the result was worse performance, lag, etc... Something due to memory bandwitch or memory bottleneck... I don't remember exactly...
In fact the SIV can have higher GPU overclock with the same GPU as our but the "stuff" arround is not the same. Unless a dev find the solution.
But you'll never see GPU overclock in our One above 450 Mhz just by editing some files, trust me.

I want to try myself, if it works bad I already said that I will set the stock frequencies back. Anyway I think that Matt is going to prepare a flashable zip wich goes to replace the kernel files.

LOL, good luck!
In the path you find, for max_gpuclk (and find all the others paths related to the GPU clock, good luck here too ) change the value by yourself with a file explorer like Root Explorer (edit the file) it will do nothing!!! Same thing for the other values!!!
I think you don't understand what I wrote or how all the kernel stuff works...
You need to compile your own kernel or recompile the kernel... and add the available GPU freq you want, but it's not too easy as just add a 600 Mhz step when you developed your kernel, what about voltage, memory allocated, other config files needs to be modified to match all your modifications, etc...???
It's infinite more complicated than you think...

I know that the values cannot be changed by a file manager... but it was Matt who said that it's possible with the zip... If it isn't possible can you help me recompiling a kernel?
by flashable zip, I meant I was going to compile the kernel for you ^^ But yeah the S4 has DDR3 memory so that could be the 'bottleneck' mentioned. This would be a lot of effort for little result.
[Guys need help, my freind say's]
if you push your hardware beyond its stock speed one day it will go nuts and will break so never push it until you don't know anything about it. It will really get any hardware issue???? i m on harsh jelly,cocore kernel 8.8 and using 2.222GHZ kernel feature plzz tell?????

Well.. he said right.. don't overclock too much. You can but it reduces the life of the phone hardware (from what I've seen ). You can overclock when you need it during gaming and then underclock after it.

And it is not 2.222GHz, it is 1.2 GHz. 2.2GHz will burin your phone... But I think you can get those values anyway.
AFAIK, there is no significant effect of overclocking on the CPU.
My previous device has 600mhz CPU and I overclocked it to 824mhz and used it for 2 years without any problem(it got stolen after that..?)
Also the capacity to which your cpu can be over clocked varies from device to device.
Again taking my previous device as an example.
For some people, it was stable at 824mhz but some people got many random reboots if they increased the frequency above 729mhz.
So basically we all have to find that frequency above which the phone starts rebooting (it may vary from person to person) by proper testing.
We shouldn't really bug cocafe for these reboots.
Tl;dr: the maximum overclock frequency at which we have no reboots varies from device to device.

Exacly, I forgot about that. For example my PC CPU can overclock to 3GHz at stock voltage. For 3.1GHz I need to pump it up and it heats alot more... So there is some wall. I am sure that is the case for phone CPU too, some can be OC-ed to some point, some can't.
It has been said that OC reduces life of CPU, but I keep my PC CPU overclocked since I bought it - 4-5 years ago. It is still alive. And now it cost like >10 beers in cafe.

Cheers mate,
I think if there is someone give some usefull info to you, its not enough by saying thanks, but give them credit by click "thanks".
