I already postet this in the Atrix 4G section, because they have a thread there about this topic. But they are discussing more about the locked bootloader than about overclocking and as we don't have such a thread here, I will start this one.
Perhaps you think overclocking actually does not make much sense on this device atm, as it is really fast, but I always like to get most out of my hardware that is possible.
I dont think, I would enable overclocking for everyday use now, but it would be cool to be able to do so if needed. At 1200 MHz as Nvidia had planned for the Tegra2 3D the Phone would for sure even beat the Omap 4 in Optimus 3D.
I am totaly new to Android and also to Linux, so I am not sure if this is helpful, but I have seen something very interesting in the Optimus 2x review at Anandtech.
I dont know where these variables are stored and what is needed to, but for me it looks as if we are able to change them, overclocking should be possible on the Optimus 2X.
It would be great if some oft the developers here could look into this when the Optimus Speed finally has been shipped…
I was wondering the same thing. So i checked other Tegra2 powered devices. And as far as i know none has been overclocked yet. Correct me if am wrong.
So far no overclock is needed since this phone is reaaaaaaalllly fast.
But I am sure as soon as it needs some extra power developers will figure out how to do it
Michael Huang (author of SetCPU) has just overclocked the Xoom tablet today. Now, while the Xoom is a Tegra2 device, its kernel is (apparently) Google based whereas others are nVidia based.
In overclocking the Xoom from 1GHz to 1.5GHz though, he saw about a 1/3rd increase in performance on Linpack and Quadrant. Looks promising so far.

The Reason to Overclock the Atrix in my opinion is as follows
The Linux Based Webtop is slow in reviews
So when pluged into mains power it would be very usful to overclock the device to make the most of the webtop with less lag issues making the device far more usful if you need/want that feature.
Maby possible to make a custom dock (stick fan on it) and clock higher
I'm more interested in underclocking, especially when screen is off with a screen off profile in SetCPU. What do you think is the lowest possible frequency I could set it at?
You can put all the way down. I use the same settings in both my N1 and the 2x. Saves some juice. What I really want to see is custom kernels, pref undervolted if its possible.

According to the SetCPU changelog, overclocking/underclocking is now possible:
2.1.1 - Fixed an issue with profiles backup in CM7.
- Added support for the Motorola Xoom, Atrix 4G, and other Tegra 2 devices.
- Fixed various bugs.
- Tablet optimized UI and more profiles coming soon!
2.1.1a - Fixed the 0 MHz display issue on some devices.

How can you overclock with SetCPU then on o2x? Believe only the powersaving underclocking on demand is working.. overclock needs more work i believe.
The Xoom has been overclocked, but apparently the kernels are from google, which made it easier.
If anybody knows more about this, please correct me
The kernel must be adjusted to make overclock work. I got to read myself into this, but perhaps someone else knows already everything to it .
GPU
i wonder if the gpu can be overclocked, would be nice if it was possible too just OC the gpu and compare the results. Or do you think that the CPU and GPU clock speeds are somehow linked???
Any thoughts?
bumping cause im curious. Can any one please answer ?
well this is arm so id day they are linked
are we able to read the clock speed of hte gpu. does is change?
Look at the date mate
The GPU is not linked with the CPU. The GPU is overclocked in different kernels. Spica's kernel allows on the fly overclocking of the GPU.
After having this device for over a year, the only time i needed OC is for 720P Youtube or Youtube HD app. No OC on the GPU has ever been needed. Yes i have been playing around with 1.2 and 1.4, but they just consumed battery more than giving a better experience. I would go so far and say undervolt it and put it on 900Mhz.
Hi everyone. So I've been wondering about what the "hotplug" and "mot_hotplug" scaling governors that are present on the Droid 3 are, and I finally decided to post something about them. Does anyone know the difference between the two? What about how they scale the CPU clock compared to how the ondemand governor does it? Has anyone benchmarked battery life or something and found out if switching to hotplug or ondemand from mot_hotplug is a good idea in terms of battery life?
Thanks.

According to the research i did, messing with setcpu causes problems, and underclocking/overclocking is not advisable right now
Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)
Droid 3 Rooted (Stock Kernel, Custom lite De-bloat)
you can overclock to 1.2, but the kernal doesnt recognize the change. It does yield better benchmark results though. dont change to any governor. leave at moto_hotplug. checkout the xt860 overclock thread under the dev section. it works for the xt862 verizon d3 too. without the unlocked bootloader, thats about as good as we're gonna get.

I am running stock KK on XT1068 at the moment and I am very pleased with my battery life.
But my frequency statistic show that most of the time my procesor is on the 787 MHZ (78,19%) and
on the 998 MHZ (10,21 %).
Now I see that some devs said that bad battery life and even overheating problems in Lollipop may be caused
because to high processor frequencies and search solution in lower values.
Is this right way for extending battery and overheating problems life because on KK it is quite good with higher values and
there is no overheating at all.
I was facing that little problem in my XT1068 stock KK too, and the battery life is OK, I don't see a big difference when I used Trickster Mod and set the min freq to 300mhz, but in lollipop even this minor difference is important, since the battery backup on lollipop is worst than KK even with min freq at 300mhz (at least on my device, with Stock 22.21.25 5.0.1 for XT1063, and with Titan Prime ROM), if someone can create a init.d script to set the CPU min freq to 300mhz on Motorola Stock Lollipop Firmware, it will be great since the root isn't stable.

Buddy ,op don't update to lollipop yet if we want we have total control of our devices with furnace kernel and I can't lose that ( with xposed) buddy take my advice and wait for 5.1 also bro plz root and use fastscroll xposed module...
From a long time, RAM management in my Moto G 2014 has been horrible. Almost all apps are closed when they are on the background, no matter what kernel or what ROM i use. Actually I'm on CM13 with Halogen Kernel, and I've been doing benchmarks and all I see is that my scores are lower than the other people ALWAYS, no matter what I do. And when you have a look at the RAM score... Surprise! ONLY 40 points. What is happening? Hope someone knows what is the problem here.

I was using Halogen kernel but switched back to default cm13 kernel. It was making my device spaz out pretty badly. It basically caused my device to come to a crawl as far as speed and multitasking goes.
Yeah same here switched back to default cm kernel. I didn't see any major improvements with halogen but I use default cm kernel with L speed and its super fast.
You should give zakee the time to make his kernel as good as it was on lollipop.
Thanks everyone! I will try to revert to stock CM kernel and see what happens. But also I'm excited about the Halogen Kernel CPU OC!
So I installed CM13 kernel and Nova Launcher and Greenify to save the maximum RAM possible, as I'm using an Android Wear device and it consumes more RAM thant without it and... Wooah! Now my Moto G flies! Thank you for your answer!
gI would like to know if there is an app or after or good module for moto g9 plus that improves the CPU or GPU or kernel. if you have could you let me know?
