[Q] Overclock CPU??? [ANSWERED] - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi
start off by saying im a noooooob BUT have finally rooted, installed [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM] from SEMPITERNAL, also Junk Apps Clean up + Xrecovery + Jit V2 Optimized.

I now want to know if i can overclock the cpu to get even higher score and if i can how do i do it????
i cant seem to find any threads containg x10 cpu overclock
thanks
Leon

Don't know if its correct. Wouldn't we need the bootloader cracked to do so? xD

i have no idea, like i said im a complete nooob, but thanks!!!

There's a app on the Android Market called SetCPU, that should allow you to overclock your X10.

doesn't work.. at least not for me anyway. overclocking depends on your kernel, and so far I haven't found any custom kernels

That's retarded. SETCPU lets you select you frequency, it doesn't overclock...

Its amazing how many people ask this... And you would have your answer if you used your brain and used the search box...
You can not currently overclock the CPU in the X10
Once the bootloader has been cracked and we can flash custom kernels that allow overclocking, then you can

Overclocking Xperia Play

haven't seen any thread about this. someone already tried setcpu on the arc how about the play?
i want to overclock my unit cause most of the psx games (ie castlevania) tends to be slow and the framerate drops significantly even if it's fixed at 30 fps.
so no one seems to be interested in overclocking the xplay?
i guess when its been out longer ill wont an overclock but i haven't had any slow down as yet well after getting rid of the rubbish that was on there "bloat"
i would rather a recovery menu first ha ha if were wishing here..
but we need a custom kernel first i believe before an overclock
You'll need someone to cook up a custom kernel to OC the play or someone to make a script that runs it without a custom kernel. Had this on my HTC desire hd before I rooted/unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom kernel that could OC.
The first option will need a unlocked bootloader and the latter will just need root (if possible with the play).
Setcpu should be able to underclock as it is now, but that wont help with your gaming issues.
Regards Dousan...
No need for unlcoked bootloader just need root and someone to cook up a kernel module to work with set CPU. It's a standard qualcom 8250 shouldn't be to hard. Contact the developer of setcpu on twitter or by email

What were the apps that you removed? I might just do this while waiting for an oc. And were there any signifcant changes in terms of the unit's speed.
hey owain
you already have xperia play !! you can do it
where are you man ?
did you forget xda site ?
why ?
We need the sources of the xplay to create own kernels - at least to create one without minor bugs

Hey guys, i'm new to the play forum although ive been around for a while lol anyway just to clarify some points.
yes with the sony kernel source code we can make custom kernels, but without an unlocked bootloader we cannot flash unsigned images.. i only got my play 2day so i am unsure of what can or cannot be done, does the play have nand protection? if not and we can create and flash a custom recovery image, then an unlocked bootloader should not be nessesary. android has full R/W access by default to all the partitions while in recovery mode, so we should be able to flash things roms/kernels/ect. maybe someone should email clockworkmod and ask if they are or intend to work on a custom recovery

I'll have a poke about in that for now, will be similar-ish
could it be that the kernel is the same as the one for the play?

it's the same firmware package for neo/arc/play

OK you want to flash wolfs rom, or are you already on it?
I take it you have not unlocked your bootloader yet.
Anyway the kernal is like the BIOS from a windows machine, its the main bit of the OS and with custom kernals you can change many things to mod the phone.
The main advantage is to overclock and underclock the cpu so it works faster when you want it to and slower when you dont want it.
This can improve performance and save battery.
Also you can undervolt, this means the phone uses less power from the battery saving battery power but can cause instability if the voltages are to low for your phone.
there are lots more things as well
such as uncapping the fps which makes graphics smoother..etc..
the stock add does not overclock etc but has the other tweaks....
its up to you which kernal to use but I recommend you read up, try various ones and choose which is best for you.
The most versatile ones are for unlocked bootloader....let me know if you need any help doing that

First thing then is we will keep it simple,
Download flashtool from the flashtool thread in the dev section.
Root your phone by running flashtool and following the instructions.
Then I suggest you pick wolfs FS rom and flash that.
Get used to walking before running
Any probs then send me a PM

1.6 to 1.8 ghz.. but i dont think it is advisable.. might cause overheating..
if u want just flash a kernel with OC..
and link2sd does speed up ur phone.. it did mine!
Stock ROM cannot be overclocked!
Custom kernels can be but they require unlocked bootloader!

Of course, unlocking bootloader for custom kernel is the best. Init.d and overclocking are probably the most effective. Not a single game lags on my phone. If not, the methods listed above should improve the performance somewhat.

[Q] Overclock Samsung GT-I9070 Galaxy S Advance

Can someone tell me how to overclock Samsung S advance?
SetCPU couldn't do it, neither android overclock...
Thanks!!!
For now, you cannot overclock SGSAdvance - O/C requires custom kernel, which hasn't been compiled yet. You can change your CPU's speed, but it won't let you set higher parameters than stock. So, wait for devs to compile an O/C kernel
a group of 4 is trying to get CM9 or 10 to work on our phone... meanwhile they're also trying to get OC on it... i'm just waiting... the rom they released is good enough to get me to wait patiently
Impatient
Any news on this guys? I'd really appreciate overclocking ability for SGS Advance.
Thank you in ADVANCE.

What ROM did they release?

well how about now...? as far as I know the first custom kernel for S Advance is the CoCore (current version 3.6)..
Will overclock be available once SGSA gets the official JB update?

This should be in the Q & A section
I don't think that too many people are worried about OC the device as it is quire fast. One of krabappel's kernel has OC abilities I think, but not sure if it will boot a stock rom...
EDIT:
It is only for custom 4.4 roms

I've always been keen to OC' my devices. However like Blue said, I've never felt the need to clock the Ultra higher. You could try apps from the playstore that modify the kernel at a source level. ummm I think tegrak does that?
