[Q] Can't overclock higher than stock frequency - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just Installed Existenz Rom for my Xperia Z. And now i wanted to overclock it by using the overclock feature but i can't set it higher than the normal 1512 Mhz. the slider is already fully to the right i can't make it higher. I had this before with other custom roms and tried al the possible software. Can someone help me?

Have you flashed a kernel that supports overclocking?
If not, do that.

In order to flash the kernel, you have to unlock your bootloader and do not forget first to back up your TA in order to keep your warranty for Sony apps and in case there's something going wrong.

can't overclock more then 748mhz using nAa11 nd custom rom xperience v4

Sent from my E15i using xda premium
oh dear, if you cant overclock more then, you cant overclock more! Its just tough luck mate
More is not a good idea for daily use... You will get some lag in multitasking..
Best for daily use (to my point of view) is 122 / 729.. More my phone was very laggy sometimes..
how to overclock in the first place?
can someone please give me the link on how to do it??
thanks!
Bah,
Go on parameters > cyanogemmod > performance > CPU : select your frequencies, check overclock and keep on boot and reboot.
If you've got the good kernel (as naA), that's all
i'm using gingerdx v22 with stock kernal
and i can OC it To 787
but i prefer 748 or 768
it's just luck!
but 748 is good,isn't it? at least for me
You can try and play with various governors,i think some go higher....
Guys, in general, there are 2 kinds of X8 concerning hardware.
If you got lucky, then you can overclock your X8 up to 806.
On the other hand, if you are unlucky (like me), then you will NEVER be able to have a stable OC over 719. It is just a matter of hardware
i could see the min and max frequency, but i can't edit it..
when i press it,it only shows a cancel button..
is it because i have a locked bootloader?
been searching yesterday about unlocking bootloader,and it's too risky(well, i've had enough rooting my x8.. LoL)..
and regarding to the governors lists,the frequencies does not changed even though i chose a different one..
needless to say, it's still 122-600Mhz..
-gab-
i'm not stupid; i know what the search button stands for!

or no..for me it's the same..but i use alfs and i can go up to 768mhz..in nAa i only can 748mhz..
then OP, CHANGE KERNEL!
I don't think you can overclock with stock kernel
You need to unlock your bootloader to have a custom kernel. Then you'll can overclock

Follow the steps in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020313) and then you will be able to overclock your X8, even without unlocked bootloader.
if ever i did it, and somewhere in time i want to return to the old one, could i just delete this module??will the phone frequencies return to default??

Ofcourse you can overclock with stock kernel, just make sure the x8oc module is loaded before you try.

Yes, you can delete it, but not necessarily. You can change the frequencies manually in Settings > CyanogenMod > Performance > CPU, or you can either install SetCPU to control them, so you can keep the module if you want to overclock it again later.
I can Oc to 691mhz only ....
guess am the most unlucky here... ;(
I can overclock to 729 mhz!!
After dat phone works like a charm!!

nice to hear that..thanks!
anyway, when I went from v22 to v23b, the x8oc.ko on the module folder has been deleted..so i guess(not really sure) that it would be deleted when you install another rom..

Module-OC

Hello,
My phone -xperia x8 white e15i
Kernel - Stock
It don't matter what Rom I use I can only OC till 691 MHz at 710mhz my.phone freeze and reboot.
also I get reboot time to time on 691.
I heard that very x8 should atleast be stable at 710
my question is.
Do I get a higher stable frequency if I use a different module other than Dix's???
I came across a module which offers a higher frequency .... search for better overclock you will find the thread.....so will I get a higher frequency? ?? using the other module???
I USED THE SEARCH BUTTON BEFORE POSTING.
so don't yell at me. : )
Help
I'm not too sure about this one since I'm a part noob much like you but have you tried flashing a different kernel such as Alfs? linuxxd is really good but doesn't allow overclocking as I found out with the same problem as yourself Sorry I meant stock kernel doesn't allow overclocking ...
If I helped you please answer my question on a new thread I made
It's up to your phone. Your processor can go till that frequency without freezing. Other X8s can go higher. It doesn't depend on the ROM or kernel.
A custom kernel allows better overclocking most of the time. When I was on stock kernal the highest I could get to was 710Mhz before rebooting. With a custom kernel I can get to 787Mhz before rebooting.

@guys above thanks for answering ...
but I still don't get the answer ....
anyways if I change my kernel then I will be changing the software part only .... so how can it increase my CPU potential .. ?????

You need to understand that the stock kernel is not designed for overclocking, it's only possible with modules for stock kernel.
You can try the other module but I doubt it'll be any improvement, if you want better overclocking you really should install a custom kernel.

11W33 vs unlocking bootloader

Hey!!
I'm new on this forum. So I have rooted X8 (E15i) with 11W33 and I have GingerDX, but its slowly. I want to unlock bootloader for greater performance, but I read that bootloader unlock can permanently damage the phone. I search for safe roads to unlock phone, or better ROM for stock kernel. This phone Is my first with Android, so please understand me.
Dont try to unlock you wll brick ur phone. only below 11w29 its safe, above its playing with your luck:fingers-crossed:.
just try some stock kernel roms and find what suit you. i think dx is very good just update it or delete some unwanted apps that slow it down
if you want to check this support stock kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1237930
if you want to stay with dx you can speed it up by overclock it with this module that u can find it in his thread
(GingerDX Overclock Module (x8oc.ko v004) ) but dont set very high frequences.
thats not true
check this forum : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506502
u can now unlock the bootloader above11w29+.
It is still 50-50% chance for 11w29-11w34 and above that through you're phone after trying it, only if you're very lucky you can have it work on 11w35+..
Sent by the walking walkman..
You can try, but there is a big chance that you end up with a hardbrick.

I dont want any chance to brick my phone. I tryed GingerDX + OC to 768 and governor performance but it's slowier than Stock rom. I downloaded unofficial MIUM rom and its quite faster, but still this is not good rom, i have only 20MB free ram, when i kill all apps.

It's a shame for your mobile to ruin for a risk .... I tried it and the particular Rom and I was not at all pleased

use any froyo rom for stock kernel(x8).
and if you are really upto gb rom
use supercharger(ultraram settings).

Right now you will need to install a Kernel that allows for OC on top of your current custom ROM. OC Kernels are marked with "OC" so that you can find them easily.

Will look into this

This kernel is no longer being developed, so it does not incorporate any recent changes from the Cm builds.

Blurry 2.5 has a oc kernel built in with it. 1.2gig. Has CPU sleeper an custom governers with it.. Only bad thing is its on 4.1.2 not 4.2.2. In my opinion I'd rather be on 4.2.2 then gain 200mhz

Kernel for stock based custom ROMs

I dont want to unlock bootloader, so I would like to know if stock kernel is ok for custom ROMs or should I unlock bootloader and flash any custom kernel too?
II use exiastenz with stock kernel. I tried other kernels as well but after all I went back to stock kernel. But. I stay with unlocked bootloader while I can easily bring back my phone to life after messing too much in system when I recieve a bootloop at Sony logo I just flash doomlord kernel with cwm and then I can flash everything else. But with normal use I prefer stock kernel. Don't need to overclock with such hardware. Don't need to emulate cdrom or other stuff. Don't have time for that. Maybe a year ago but now I don't test new features.
As a summary. Is worth to have unlocked bootloader. But for normal using of device use stable stock kernel and .201 software.
You have to know that some of non stock ROMs NEED special kernels. CM 11 for example.

Yes, I know some about stock and non stock ROMS and when non stock kernel is needed. I had Live with Walkman (Xperia 11) and I needed kernel to OC because 1GHz was not enough and there were plenty of various kernels. Yet it was the only my android device so I need to renew my knowledge base.
So you would say, that stock kernel is enough? Or is it that custom kernels for SP does not differ much from stock kernel?
Also, if I want to flash CWM (recovery menu), do I need to unlock bootloader?
Is warranty void with root or it has nothing to do with warranty?

In my opinion Xperia SP has enough hardware to normal use, and also heavy gaming. Stock Kernel have all features which I need. OTG work, I dont overclock my CPU, more... I underclock my CPU frequenzy. I dont want support of NTFS and other things which can you find in custom kernels. So stock Kernel is enough.
Warranty. You Void your warranty when you unlock your bootloader. But you can always relock it, flash stock ROM and you will have your waranty again.
You dont have to unlock your bootloader to flash (install) recovery. You need root only.
