First, thanks $aur0n for the nice work and I can now also boot from SD card and enjoy the rooted system in EXT4
For those interested in overclock, you can try this kernel (I have tested it in Archos 70IT, but it should work in A101/A43IT as well):
** See below for instructions on how to apply this overclock kernel with the newest firmware
2011-04-15 (Latest version)
=========================
- Re-compile the whole kernel from archos latest kernel source code
- Suggested to use with newest chulri's initramfs

Beware! After overclock, you will feel a bit hotter than before and battery drains much faster!! Flash it at your own risk.
What you need to do is:
1) Install SDE
2) Get the initramfs from this post (download the kernel+init.zip and extract it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9948644&postcount=1
3) Replace the zImage with the new overclocked kernel
4) Boot into SDE recovery menu and copy the initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage through USB cable
5) Boot into SDE developer OS
6) You should get all your apps here and have superuser right now
You will now have read/write access to /system/ or /data/ ...etc.
Next step: You can download GScript from the market (free) to make some custom scripts to remove unnecessary apps and replace the hosts file, etc.

Oh thanks man! I'll impliment this into my own version of Auron's, yeah there was some confusion about your method, thanks for clearing that up!
Nevermind XD I don't know enough to add that, but Auron heavily uses EXT4 which he compiled into his kernel, which is probably why it isn't working for you, he explains in his topic the things he did or did not do.

Thanks. BTW, it would be good if Auron will release his source such that we know what exactly is changed apart from the EXT4 things.
New kernel updated!!!
Get it at the #1 post
Now, it is EXT4 support and can be used together with $aur0n initramfs !!!
Down-clock to 1100Mhz seems to make it more stable
Thanks man really appreciate your quick work! works perfectly with Auron's
Although I'm curious how that overclock works, I've read up on it and it seems that everyone else is making overclocking modules etc. your solution seems a lot more efficient. Do other people know about it too?
I first though it was just a soft change, something that didn't affect the hardware, but something that just forced the digit 1100 instead of 1000, this doesn't appear to be the case since I get some speed gains in Quadrant
~ benched a 2438 ^^
edit: is it possible for you to change the LOWEST value as well? i'm not sure how it would react but I imagine a 100Mhz/200Mhz feature would save up some standby-battery-usage also is it possible to change the intervals with this method? so that we can get 300/400/500/600/700..1100?
edit2: would it be theoretically possible to compile a kernel with driver support for gamepads and others? perhaps ntfs-3g to mount ntfs external drivers... thinking about this we have usb host on this device and an open bootloader

The most difficult part is to determine how much voltage to be given to each frequency. So, it would take some efforts to study.
In addition, setting too low frequency is not necessary be good because the machine might go into deep sleep and never wake up.
Have you run any Super PI tests (or something similar) to see if there are stability issues with the increased clock rates?
Typically when I over-clock my CPU on my PC I increase the voltages at the micro or mini level (CPU, Front Side Bus, Memory, Memory Controller, etc.). As an example 1.3500 may not be stable but 1.3501 could be. Typically You can find the voltage tolerances typically at CPU manufacturer website (ie Intel for me). of course you also have to deal with the temperature of the CPU and other supporting components that regulate the voltage. I will run a Super PI type application to test stability for a few hours. If it works then dont add voltage.. if it comes back with a miscalculation OR an application/OS crash then increase the voltage by a micro amount...
You are correct when you saw it not performing at a higher clock rate... typically what happens if the CPU does not have enough voltage to perform at the expected clock rate it seems to throttle the execution rate to ensure some level of integrity of the executing transaction..
Unfortunately over-clocking is not a science..

its using the same cpu as a lot of android phones are and i daresay that most of the work (working out optimal cpu voltage etc) has already been done
The question is for non-standard clock rates. Standard clock rates should have well defined voltages.

While this kernel has been OC, it only allows you to choose higher frequencies. BUT, you can still choose 1000 Mhz as the highest by setting it in SetCPU.
After setting min/max as 1000Mhaz in SetCPU, this kernel is just like any other kernels, except that I have applied some of the newest kernel patches (fix bugs?) so that this kernel MUST be better than the stock one.
Hope you enjoy using it
no no, the problem is that after installing oc kernel(without touching anything about frequency), angry birds doesn't run and asphalt 5 doesn't run well and it closes when init a race...So, what's the problem? I have returned to original kernel(with rooting), and now are perfectly running(angry birds and asphalt5)...

It is quit strange, coz I can run angry birds, dungeon hunter, etc.. very smoothly even when I use 1100 Mhz, have you tried to install SetCPU and set the frequency?
Any one have similar problems?
Working great on my A101! It's subtle, but I do notice a slight performance increase in pocket legends. Keep up the great work ardatdat!
ok so i did it and now the youtube app freezes up with 1100 or 1200 mhz...the video plays for like 3 or 4 sec and than freeze leaving only audio playback.. video plays normal at 1000 mhz and down...
thanks for your sharing
but I can't unzipped the newest kernel

Introduction:
This module implements undervolting for the stock SE kernel of X10 based on the latest baseband/kernel.
From Wiki: Undervolting is the term used when the voltage of a component, usually the processor, is lowered in order to increase stability and/or reduce temperature.
Undervolting can also result in better battery performance, which is actually the reason to use this module.
Notes:
This module is based on doixanh's ingenious hijacking of kernel calls which has proven precious for X8/X10mini owners by helping us enhance our devices (e.g. undervolting, overclocking, dual touch), see: X8uv.
My friend, My_Immortal, is supporting with testing/debugging this module.
She asked me to work on that and without her help and patience it wouldn't have been possible. Thank you very much My_Immortal
Sources: https://github.com/nobodyAtall/XperiaFeatures
Yes, we do have custom kernels for X10 - this has nothing to do with those and it won't work on those.
If one of the posted version works for you, keep it, no need to try the others! Basically try them in this order: v.001 -> v.002 -> v.003
In case you want to uninstall this mod, go to xrecovery -> partition tools -> mount /system -> flash the attached uninstall_uv.zip and you are back to normal!
Requirements:
- Rooted
- xRecovery preinstalled
- Baseband > 52. (If you are using an incompatible BB, you will get battery drainage issues. You can see this via 'lsmod' from adb shell with the module reported as 'loading')
Installation:
Automatic:
- Flash the attached zip via xrecovery. (Note that you need to have a ROM with a /system/etc/hw_config.sh script, I think every stock/custom ROM has this)
- Enjoy better battery life
Manual (via root explorer):
My_Immortal said:
From the zip take the x10uv.ko and copy it on /system/lib/modules.
Then, go to /system/etc/hw_config.sh, long-press on it, and select Open in text editor.
Add the following line:
insmod /system/lib/modules/x10uv.ko
Save & Exit
Delete the .bak file that Root Explorer created.
Exit, reboot the phone

Sorry, but what exactly do you mean by "latest baseband"? Version .58?
Undervolt for Stock? I thought Bootloader crack/bypass is required for Undervolt?
@OP: Could you elaborate how it works? Thanks!
@ Devs: This could be an addition for every rom out there?
Think ill backup and give this a test!

Do you plan to port X8Overclock for X10? It may prove useful until custom kernels will become stable.
Im on baseband 52. Can i use it?

I'm not quite sure which basebands are compatible, sorry
I built this module using the 2.1.A.0.435 kernel sources by SE.
So then it will probably work on BB 54,55 and 58 so the latest should work all.

OK, that's good enough. Any sources/git repo available?
This is for undervolting the stock kernel, yes. We are hacking our way for this to work
Basically we reduce the voltage levels for each available frequency. I'll post the moded voltage levels vs original ones shortly.
I know for sure that it works on Trip's CM6 rom (which My_Immortal uses). To be honest, I don't have an X10 device

So it seems to be really useful and quite powerful. Well, at least it's more stable than current custom kernels.
Will this work on Wolfbreak's CM6.1.3 (Android 2.2.1)? I don't dare to try yet. Need my phone and don't want to reflash in case something goes wrong.
OR
Does this works only for 2.1?

I've been working with doixanh on netfilter but we got stuck.
Basically we hijacked all needed calls but we got lots of panics at many occasions (e.g. when x_tables.ko was loaded, unloading the wifi driver would cause a panic).
This belongs to another thread though

New UPDATE 13-07-2012: Youtube fixed, CleanCache include, Gov Optimisation, include Interactive Sched., remove SIO Sched (unstable ATM) => PLEASE REPORT
Hi guy,
I would like to share my work and try to see if my hardware is limited to OC.
I can OC with great stability to 1080 and 1100 with little crash (after 2 days of use). 1150 and 1200 no boot.
Kernel include:
-Based on 2.4.83 Archos kernel
-SIO - BFQ Schedulers include - BFQ by default
-Lagfree and MinMax CPU Governor include Conservative by default
-OC to 1100/1150 with 300/600/900/1010/xxxx step Frequency
-OC to 1200 with 300/600/1000/1100/1200 step
-Ext4 - you can applied WhoDunnit's tutorial
-Jenkins hash support update (less CPU consumption)
-Completely Fair Scheduling (CFS) upgrade better stability
-Others tweaks (I don't remember all ^^)
You can choose step, SIO, CPU Gov. with Voltage control.
The kernel is compatible with A43 - A70S/H/IT/IT2 - A101 and works well on BULL RC or Original Firmware from Archos. I CANNOT TRY IT WITH URUKDROID (My device hasn't same partitions :s).
You can download Kernels here:
V0.1 => 1100MHz: http://www.mediafire.com/?421uilfwbhx2em3
V0.1 => 1150MHz: http://www.mediafire.com/?u9bx28132jwln0c
V0.1 => 1200MHz: http://www.mediafire.com/?ta2f7m64d7aor4j
UPDATE:
V0.2b => 1000 Swap is useless on ours devices and compcache need more ram. I upgrade the voltage of CPU, and try to oc to 1200
UPDATE:
V0.3 => SEE LAST POST (kernel are attached on it)
How to use:
Just rename it to zImage and install it with your favorite initramfs.cpio.gz ( Bull or Archos) on SDE Menu.
I AM NOT RESPONSABLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR TAB. Thanks .
Kernel works fine on my tab, but i can't assure that's similar on others tabs.

Are you planning future improvements? I can help you testing it. Glad to see improvements for our devices.
I will try it later and tell you the results, going to try all of the kernels and check the stability.
EDIT: The device didnt boot with 1200 zImage.
EDIT #2: A question out of the topic. Is using swap going to kill my SD card faster?

I have made this kernel because archos stop dev of ours devices. I am not a great dev lol, i haven't developped code since 10 years . But i have a brain, and try to use it
I would like port LiveOC code to our device, it exists for i9003 equiped with omap3630 but the code to select frequency is very different, i don't know if i can do this.
And port Smartass2 governor. The code is included in the kernel but desactivated i have lot of errors.
I try to oc gpu ATM, without result...i think that the freq is cable in the hardware...
My purpose is to know if ours devices can go up to 1100Mhz with the actual code. I need tester :thumbup: !
OC stability can changed for each devices.
Edit: Is it stable with 1150? I have crashed when i used wifi strongly. Like a big dl.
Verify that you have all frequency active with voltage control.
Edit2: i think that you will have changed of tablet before the sd die

I will check 1150 when my tab is fully recharged. When I disconnect it when its half charged the calibration goes crazy.
Thank you very much for this.

Can you make me a report of your experience with the kernel please?
Thanks in advanced!!

I tested all the zImages as I said and the results are:
1100 is stable without any problems.
1150 isnt stable with many problems, the first time the boot hang on OpenAOS logo. The second time I couldnt enter settings. The third time it hang when I entered settings.
1200 doesnt boot at all. Reboots on OpenAOS logo.
Keep up the good job, dont get disappointed.
@bizcuite:
What vsel's are you using for the frequencies?
I know from the Milestone that we had a wide variation of vsel's that where working on diff devices.
If you look into the oc posts here you see that ( when we had that on from sibere ) vsel=80 was working for many at 1200MHz

I use 64 (0x40) ~= 1.38v. I will try differents steps to OC to 1200 my Tab.
I have seen a table of vsel by freq on TI website, i must find it again!!
Thanks for information
Edit: i have tried it with 75 and 80, no boot at 1200....

First its nice to see a dev taking care of our tablet
And thank you so much for that !
I've just formatted my tablet (was having lags and lots of crashes) and installed your kernel over OpenAOS (the last non-official build) and wahouh !!
So smooth !
I've installed the 1100MhZ, I'll run it for a day and after I will test 1150 and 1200
Thanks again dude !
NEW UPDATE: CompCache and Swap Enable
NEW UPDATE - SEE FIRST POST:
CompCache and Swap enable by default
1 GHz ONLY FOR TEST
1000 - 1100 - 1150 - 1200 - released later if test are good!!
EDIT: if you want to see if Swap is active just download terminal emulator on android market and tape: free
PLEASE REPORT IF IT WORKS ON YOUR TAB.
Edit2: swap doesn't work and is useless :thumbdown:

Thank you Bizcuite for your kernels. I tested your 1100 kernel on my A70 running cm7-bull and the speed was very good. I have found the kernel seems to break something with video streaming apps. TvCatchup, Vulkano and Youtube (LQ and HQ video) all fail to work but work fine with the original cm7-bull kernel.

is the swap reall needed if we have VM and CompCache?

Right!!
After read this article from Wiki, we don't need this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache.
Swap and compcache are disable and code is erase.
I will upload a new version with better VSel values and original GPU driver (It was a test with i9003 driver and OC :silly: ).
Bizcuite
Ok. Waiting for you to upload the updated zImage as it seems I have a day off.
EDIT: Lets reach 1.5GHz
Bizcuite could you upload your sources to github please?
And what does that mean ? (on hte build config)
PLATFORM_VERSION=4.0.4

I will do that when i know how do this LOL (don't bite me please ). I have never used Git or gitorious to upload the code by lake of time (My familly and work takes lots of time ^^ ).
4.0.4 because of i try to compile ICS 4.0.4-R2.1 for A70S2 from google source
I must again clean the fu**ing code before upload it
UPDATE NEWS: Kernel doesn't work well, the return of deep sleep take lots of time (5 sec)... I have modify the boot frequency, and i think that's the pb...wait, maybe tomorrow.

Hi!
Thank for reading this thread.
I need help to compile my J500FN kernel to change max cpu frequency to 2.5GHZ and max gpu frequency to 900 Mhz (yes I'm crazy), enable Zram, add cpu governors (such as ZZmoove, pegasusq).
I downloaded sources, I tried "make menu config", but I couln'd find where to change max frequency.
If you're reading this sentence, it means that you've read everything, many thanks and please answer if you can help me, if you have the same problem or even if you just want to tell me "Good Luck"
Have a nice day!!!
