Hey guys, I know that I don't post a lot but I couldn't help but notice that no one has put up and overclock program for the kaiser. The Kaiser after installing the overclock program, everything ran smoother!!!!!
Instructions:
1. Run Dynamic Clock.cab and install to Device
2. GO to Start > Dynamic Clock
3. tap the screen to install Dynamic Clock
4. after you restart, Go to Settings>System
5.There should now be a new option "Processor"
6.first time running, there will be a warning message, tap yes
7. Feel free to change the options around
8. Try running programs and stuff after changing the settings, you should be able to notice the speed difference!
I use Max performance on both battery and external power and the MHz is on 384 MHZ and auto power. after system idle and all the stuff after, its 192.00MHz

well done mate good post! thanks
Hmm, I downloaded the cab per instructions, found the icon, and tried to install. It just keeps freezing with an error message saying my device is blocking installation, do you want to reset? I select yes and it freezes up. I have to remove the battery.
try installing the attached .cab file on this thread

Probably due to security provisions of stock ROM not allowing install.
is there a way to bypass this?
If it's running a driver in there normally not, if just a signing issue that's causing the problem sdkcerts can help.
Have never run a stock ROM for longer than a day so not 100% sure on stock just know due to releasing drivers and not being installed along with edited resources.
thanks a lot man...sdkcerts did the job...the program installed correctly...just rebooted after the install...i will post if it works ok!thanks again!
the program starts fine...then a big amount of errors pop up...one of them :"a problem has occured with services.exe" send, don't send buttons available...i will flash a new rom today and try it...can you point me to the fastes rom around?i want something visually good but fast...
Thank you! This great, but about a week ago i googled overclocking the kaiser, and all i could get was a handful of sites saying that the kaiser could not be over clocked.

Same problem here dunno why this doesn't work, anyone figure this out?
from advanced configuration, disable security warning.
its in the misc category...
Whats the benchmark results for overclocking the kaiser?
With the recent release of Spz0s rom and Adrynalyne getting this beat over clocked these settings are becoming obsolete. Use at your own discretion.
I recently restored my phone to stock, with basic settings, meaning I did not use any of the settings listed here. I scored a 1013 on a bench with stock everything. Now that I have VTL Launcher as stock again and have everything set back up for me, I'm scoring 1000s and 990s regularly. Again without any of these settings enabled. Which is leading me to believe that a stable system is the fastest thing when it comes to performance and benchmark scores. The settings listed below did help me out, with an unstable system. Now that I am running on a stable system, none of the settings below helped my performance or bench scores, they only hurt them. So these settings below will help anyone with an unstable system to not feel the lag of said unstability. If you try these settings and they don't do anything, or hurt your performance or score, turn them back to stock and revel at how much you rock for having a super stable system! I have also noticed that the app AUTO KILLER MEMORY OPTIMIZER virtually replaces sysctl. If you run AUTO KILLER I would suggest setting sysctl back to stock! I would recommend AUTO KILLER MEMORY OPTIMIZER from the Market to EVERYONE with a Zio. Nice app, set it to Aggressive!
FIRST OFF, THESE SETTINGS ARE ONLY CHANGEABLE IF YOU ARE ROOTED!! If you are not I cannot help you!!
I am making this thread to address performance issues with the Zio. If you have done a benchmark score with just basic settings, it's already apparent to you the Zio is not the best phone. I have found some tweaks to make the phone run faster and score better on benches.
USE THESE SETTINGS AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU SCREW SOMETHING UP, DON'T CRY TO ME.
Stagefright: Stagefright is part of the stock media player that comes disabled on the Zio. Turning on stagefright will increase your benchmark score by a lot, and has also been reported to make Video Playback much better, getting rid of jumpy lagging videos.
You need to make sure you have r/w(read/write) access in your file manager. Root Explorer has r/o(read/only) and r/w. You cannot change any files without r/w access in your file manager.
To Enable Stagefright you open your file explorer(i.e. root explorer, astro, etc.) and navigate to the system folder. Open build.prop in your text editor. Scroll down to where you find stagefright. There are four settings for it grouped together near the bottom of the script. Next to each setting it says =false. You need to edit the false to say true. Once that is done, go up just slightly from that spot, there is also another spot to enable stagefright. Change that to true as well. Also notice that just above this last stagefright script, there is something about the vm.heap and dalvik cache. This is where you change your VM Heap size.
(NOTE: ENABLING THE HTTP SETTING IN STAGEFRIGHT ALLOWS FOR A RICHER HTTP BROWSING EXPERIENCE BUT WILL ALSO PUT A GREEN BAR ON YOUTUBE VIDEOS. KEEPING IT SET TO FALSE WILL AVOID THIS GREEN BAR AND SHOULD NOT AFFECT OVERALL PERFORMANCE!)
VM Heap-Not exactly sure what the technical aspect of it is, but increasing the vm.heap gives the dalvik cache more room to work with, thus making your memory faster. THIS NUMBER SHOULD NOT BE SET BELOW ANDROID DEFAULT WHICH IS 24. And should also not be set above 44. If you want to change this number, add or subtract 4 within the above values, 24-44. This can go down to 16 but you'll see the results and why I said to leave it up pretty fast.
SYSCTL- To edit these settings, open your file explorer, hit the ETC folder. Scroll to bottom and find sysctl.conf, long press and open in text editor. So far I can only say there are three settings here you need to adjust.
To edit SYSCTL settings you must first download and install the app sysctl config from the Market. After you set it up initially it can be uninstalled and leave behind the settings folder for further settings changes by manually editing or you can keep it and just use it to make the changes.
First is MIN FREE KB. This number will not be the same for everyone, although I can tell you setting this number above 4096 seems to slow the system way down. Although you may try any of the following numbers..
1536, 2048, 4096, 5120, 5632, or 6144.
These are the only numbers I would suggest using as they are parameters that came out of the phone itself.
sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters. <----DO NOT CHANGE the numbers in this location, they are system defined parameters and are NOT to be changed!
The second setting is vfs.cachepressure. I have this set to 10. Default is 50. Basically what I've read about this, it opens more room by setting it lower, leaving more memory free from constantly checking and clearing the cache. Read more here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523707&page=12
The Third setting is oom. It's the last value in sysctl.conf and needs to be set to 1 or 0. Instead of your phone starting to kill apps when it's out of memory, it does something else that I didn't quite understand, which is supposed to boost memory performance. Some people are seeing great results with this setting. Some people say it doesn't do anything. Seems to be specific to the user, and I have yet to find anything in common between two users who say this helps. Although bench scores are higher with it set to 1.
For these settings to take effect you must reboot your phone. Changes to these settings are only applied by a reboot, so any time you change anything, REBOOT!
If you do not know how to change settings manually, there are two apps in the market to help. VM Heap Tool will change your VM Heap for you, no need to manually edit if you don't want to. sysctl config is an app that will allow you to easily change the sysctl settings.
There is an App that will change your stagefright settings for you called Blade Buddy. I did not have a good expeience with this program and would suggest that you edit stagefright manually since it's pretty easy with a superuser file manager.
I can say with certainty that turning on stagefright and adjusting and playing with the rest of the settings that your phone will turn in to a beast compared to how it came out of the box.
As far as battery performance goes, I've noticed a 10-15 percent increase(estimated) over the life of a charge(depending on amount of usage and type). I have noticed more battery use. But not so much that these settings wouldn't be worth using. I gave numerous variations of these settings tries over 2 very long months of restarts and three different benchmark programs. Any additional information or discoveries are welcome.
If this helped, please hit Thanks!!
Muchos Gracias to everyone in #openzio as always. Spz0 n Mattix are always a big part of anything I do. They are always nice enough to save me from myself. And much thanks to anyone that helps out with the Zio at all. Lets own this phone!
Nice write-up bro.
Well, good guide. Hopefully Kyocera calls me back in regards to the kernel source code so we can really overclock this thing.

Their lawyer in San Diego got a hold of me on Facebook. Asked me to call her back. Three calls and no dice. Waiting on her response now. Hopefully soon. She said they are "working the bugs out". Which is a load of BS since we have phones in our hands, the source is done. They just have to give it to us and I told her bluntly just that.
Tell them to call me lol, I want the source. Give us the source!

So what happened to getting it? Teacher not know the right trick? Have you heard about using git to get the source? I dunno what git is but it may help? Ever heard of it?

Also, I don't have a sysctl.conf file. At least not where you said it is or one that root explorer can find...
Yeah if I actually understood any of that I wouldn't be asking.
Ok here is the best benchmark average I have gotten so far. These are the settings I used to achieve it.
Avg Benchmark - 795
High - 900 (omitted from average)
Low - 710 (omitted from average)
Avg with high and low only changed by 6 points.
Sysctl Support - Enabled ( I am using the Sysctl app form the market.)
Min free Kbytes - 4096
Dirty Ratio - 80
Dirty BG Ratio - 40
Oom Allocating Tasks - Enabled
VM Heap Tool - VM Heap set to 36m
Stagefright settings are all set to "True"
What we need to know now is what setting are going to speed up the UI. Like cutting load times on FB and other apps, what is making the phone just lightning fast? Doesn't seem to matter too much as long as you don't go above 4096. Finally started to see some system lag with 8192. We need to figure out what makes the phone the most responsive, fastest, beast of a phone.
Messing with the radio numbers only seems to slow me down. And still can't really find anything on what vm.swapiness does either.

Well, I have also downloaded Link2SD from the market and put every app (except system apps) on the SD card and That has given me a little over 100MB free on phone storage and I am using Memory booster lite to free up memory on the phone. All of these things have made a huge difference in the speed and performance of the phone including page load times. (facebook opens and loads almost instantly).
Be careful. Don't move things like Widgets that need to refresh or themes for your launcher or the launcher itself. Seems fine at first until you run for a while and Widgets stop and launcher always reloads.

Hi,
Very often when i open the logs screen of the stock dialer app, or when i open handcent sms, or when i open whatsapp i get force closes! Only if I empty the memory with systempanel app i will be able to open dialer or the others normally. I had the same problem with android 2.3.5 too. I used 2.3.6 after a factory reset and the issue is still there. I don't know where the issue lies.
I use Autokiller pro and Set CPU but i don't think the issue is with either of them. I use CF root kernel. But I don't think the issue is with the kernel since i used speedmod kernel with android 2.3.5 earlier and i got the same issue!
Can someone help me out as to why these crashes occur? Since these crashes are with the basic apps, they are hindering my user experience.
Thanks
oi,do you overclock your CPU? do you use scripts for memory management beside autokiller pro? a bit more details on your setup would help
I never overclock. I used to use the 'on demand' mode in setCPU. Now i changed back to 'conservative' but the problem still persists.
I dont use any other scripts for memory management. I use the 'ultimate' preset for memory management in autokiller. I have all advanced settings turned on in autokiller. I tried with all of them turned off but problem still persists..
Hi, After some investigation i have found that the force closes were possibly due to autokiller presets. I initially had my preset in 'ultimate'. My phone was very snappy but I used to get force closes in dialer, Handcent and whatsapp. Then I gradually tested by reducing the preset. I then found that if I put it in 'optimum' preset, the issue had stopped. My phone is not as fast now, but at least the force closes have stopped.
I was certain that this issue was due to memory. It happens when a lot of tasks are in memory. When I empty the memory using Systempanel app, I will be able to use dialer again without force closes. I think when memory is near the preset limit autokiller wrongly kills the active apps like dialer, sms and whatsapp.
I will test this for a few more days. If I do not get back then the force closes were indeed due to the preset.
glad to know that you're close to find out the reason of your prob : )
to optimize your memory settings without messing with scripts try out Auto Memory Manager,use it in "non root" mode so you can set a whitelist of apps which you don't want being killed by the LMK settings. then just mess around with lowmem killer presets and values,cheers

Whenever I open a page in internet browser and chat in IM app simultaneously I always either loose IM or the web. Sometimes this doenot happen but most of the time I'm suffering from this problem. I think most of the users of X8 have this problem whole lot of time. Don't we have any solution ?
And I have tried every kind of mods, all custom ROMs, all custom kernels. I have tried all of the available governors, CPU frequency setting, Compcache, JIT, VM heap, most of the availabe Modules and most of the RAM management applications too. Whenever I try these mods for the first time it shows good sign for one or two days then Gradually RAM decreases. And makes my phone laggy. After restart it again shows very good response again soon the problem happens.
As I'm newbie out here please suggest me with the best of the solution for my problem.

1st up do you have a TON of apps running and installed
2nd do you have ALOT of sms\text messages
3rd try these settings on any kernel + CM based Rom cpu @600 and max (whatever your phone can go recommend 748) with smartassv2 governor set compcache to 26% (little OTT but you can try it at 18%) enable JIT disable surface dithering and 16bit transparency make sure Allow purging of assets is disabled and set your VM heap size to 48m if you dont care alot for battery
4th make sure you got NO TASK MANAGER installed
let me know how this works out for you
use superuser, uninstall system apps that.you don't use.....use root explorer to delete apps in system/app
delete the synchronizing apps if you don't em ..
.
So my problem is that the phone lags everywhere. For example I'm in Settings and if i scroll to the bottum, it lags a lot.If i swipe around home screens, it lags. I try to play some games and guess what - HUGE LAG in Fast & Furious 6, which btw ran quite smoothly a year ago. I've tried a lot of apps and some help (Seeder ; XBooster), but the lag is still there. I tried with enabled Force GPU Rendering and Disable Hardware Controls (both at once or just one of them), but I can't really tell if it's helping, because with or without those ticked, my phone lags :/
Please share some tips or something for getting the best performance out of this (other than the lags) great phone
I always have a nandroid backup aither on my sd card or on my pc, so flashable stuff is also more than welcome. Thanks in advance!
Oh, and I'm running the latest ANA2 official firmware rooted with Chainfire's SuperSU.

Try using Entropy Fixer with Seeder. Replace XBooster with RAM Manager. Install Greenify and hiberbate apps like Facebook and etc. Install LagFix and trim your memory. Install any app that allows you to change your I/O scheduler and change it to noop. Change you animations to 0.5 or off. enable force GPU rendering, and disable hw overlays. Disable S voice. Try flashing a performance engine like adrenaline or pureperformances x ; just don't install more than one because it could brick or bootloop your phone. And if you install PurePerformances then seeder will stop working but it's okay because PurePerformances has an entropy generator. Don't use task killers. Install Clean Master and clean up your phone; make sure you uninstall it after because it's actually going to slow down your phone since it turns on apps like facebook and it runs in the background. Clean Master is good for cleaning but it runs apps in the background just to make it look like it clear a lot of RAM so uninstall it after you clean your phone. SD Maid is also good for cleaning your phone as well. Uninstall apps you don't use and freeze, disable or uninstall bloatware with SD Maid. All of these tips are what I use to make my S3 Mini fast and I play games like Modern Combat 4 , Dead Trigger 1 and 2, Shadowgun DZ, and Asphalt 8 very often so I'm sure that these tips should help you. Also I have the Canadian version of the S3 mini so my CPU is faster and my GPU is better than the international version of the phone, but these tips should still work on any phone since they work on my low end LG L3. Hope this helped
Forgot to mention if all else fails reflashing the firmware is always an option
