[Q] Overclocking Nook Tablet? - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, this is my first Android device. Anyway, is there or will there be a way to overclock the Nook Tablet?
Btw my Nook Tablet is rooted. Thanks in advance!

Not until they can install a custom kernel. Need to bypass the bootloader first.

yeah we still need the bootloader to be set free before overclocking becomes a reality.

Have you tried to dl SetCPU or any other overclockers from the market?

Not likely to work. The kernel still needs to support it. From SetCPU's description:
SetCPU also includes a "voltage control" menu, for use with certain devices with custom kernels that support it, to control undervolting to save even more battery. Keep in mind that undervolting is only available for certain kernels.

Yes, I know it is referring to undervolting rather than overclocking (which requires *more* power, not less) but the concept is the same: if the kernel's power profile doesn't allow it, SetCPU (and other APKs) can't do it.

The only things I've seen SetCPU be able to do on the NT is to change the scaling/governor... oh and to see that the NT, though seemingly having 4 clock slots (300,600,800,1000), only uses the 800 and 1000 slots....

has anyone tried this to flash the new opptimize oc files for the tablet?
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14511-opp...ficial-thread/
I ran into this link for oc on the droid bionic and following the link to the opptimize page there is support for the nook tablet overclock.
Maybe this is the wrong place to post this but I just curious to see if anyone's tried this yet to oc their tablet.

The short answer is no you cannot. The clock speed is determined by the kernel which is packed into the boot.img, and cannot currently (by the gen user) be modified. There are ways of building kernel modules (which are supported by the current kernel) that can overclock the existing CPU.
Question for you though. The OMAP4430 has a clock speed of 1.2 dual core, Why faster?

My thought also. How fast do you want it? You stated this was your first Android device... What would lead you to believe that its slow? Seems fast enough to me.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449782
I believe the answer is yes. The tablet can be overclocked using this same method I used on my bionic. Its still in the testing phase but I took my dual core bionic from 1.0ghz to 1.3 and added 1200 points to my antutu benchmark score pushing it to a 6400. I found this method yesterday and after asking around on here if anyones tried it, I was hit with a few negative comments. Im just trying to help.

Lol and this may be kind of a dumb thing to post..... but to answer your question of how fast do u want it....... If it can fly I want it to! No pro athlete is satisfied with being normal, everyone including myself wants to be bigger faster and stronger. And I may only speak for myself, bit I want the same for my devices. This may be why I had a evo shift overclocked to 1.9ghz. But maybe that's just me.

Rooted stock

I recent went to rooted stock (2.1) ... I'm a fan of sense but I was wondering is it possible to flash a new kernal so I can overclock and if so what kernals are available?

This is probably what you want. FYI I highly recommend the excellent (and oft-recommended by others) xtrSENSE. You don't have to use any of it's advanced features you don't want; it comes like this already:
Default ROM Configuration:
You do not need to run any scripts unless you would like to change the following default configuration:
dalvik.vm.heapsize: 24m
min free memory values: "balanced" (1536,2048,4096,10240,12800,38400)
CPU Overclocked: Min-245760 Max-710400
CPU Governor: Ondemand
Just In Time Compiler (JIT): Off
Cache Location: Cache2cache On
Apps2sd: Off
Userservice and battery tweak: Off
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Cache2Cache is a tweak zach.xtr (the ROM's author) created which moves the Cache to a different internal memory partition, which frees up another 40MB or so of internal memory for apps without using Apps2SD.
It's still Sense and it's identical to Stock in the ways that matter, and it runs beautifully. It's also very user friendly to those new to using some ROM's advanced features and you can change the overclock settings.
Further, back to your original question, IMHO (and at least some people agree) the overclock kernel xtrSENSE and some other 2.1-based ROMs use work better than the CFS I linked to at the top of this post.

FWIW, I have tried running the CFS kernel on xtrSENSE (which is close to stock) and it froze hard (battery pull required) after about a day. It did it again after about another day, and I finally went back to the default Zanfur kerne. I would stay away from CFS on stock, xtrSENSE or xtrROM.

Just thought I'd throw in another recommendation for xtrSense. Should run great as is but if you want more control I was always pleased with how setCPU worked for me

I just did the following:
1. Flashed [ROM] HTC Eris March 2011 OTA Stock ROM - v2.41.605.6
2. Flashed engtools3.zip referenced in the first post in that thread to re-root.
3. Using QtADB I installed SetCPU for Root Users [2.1.1a] Dual Core Madness 2/27/2011.
4. I ran SetCPU, performed the AutoDetect function after granting it Root Access via the SuperUser prompt, and this is the result (screenshot taken with QtADB):
Then to give further benefit of the doubt, in SetCPU I pressed the Menu soft button, then "Device Selection", "Show Other Frequency Sets" and chose to manually retrieve the Eris' overclocking speeds from the setcpu.txt file (bottom of the list of devices) on the SD card from when I used to run SetCPU eons ago.
As expected, SetCPU then shows the following:
Actually, the max was set to 528 but I tried manually setting it to 767, rebooted, and SetCPU still shows that despite what SetCPU wants to set the CPU at, it's still 528 max and 480 min.
You might not have known it but you're running an overclocking kernel of some sort. Perhaps via whatever rooting method you used. But just the act of rooting itself doesn't give you an overclocking kernel.
Alls I can say is I did it last year with the June OTA, rooted, flashed the engtools, and used whatever version of setCPU that was out then. I know I had it set to 710 and to set on boot. It stayed there, 710 max and 245 min I think. Never flashed a new kernel.

It's impossible unless HTC accidentally put an overclocking kernel on your phone, which is ludicrous. Do I believe you that you believe that's all that happened? Yes. Do I believe you overclocked with the default kernel? No. You would've been the only person to have ever done this.
There are people here who are smarter than me about these things, and the only way they have found to overclock is by flashing a custom kernel.
Ask the author of SetCPU if that was possible; I'm sure he will tell you the same thing.

I tried downloading that three times and got this:
I figured it out, though. The file extension should just be the old Microsoft Office .doc instead of the newer .docx. Amazing that Microsoft Word 2010 doesn't automatically handle this just because of the file extension.
The document says:
[FONT=&quot]Prerequisites:
- Eris w/ any HTC/VZW release (including 1.5, all leaks V1-V3, & root-ROM)
- Install free Market app Gscript Lite (PinkVenture)
- Install free Market app EStrongs File Explorer
- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)
- The ROM of your choice downloaded onto your SD card in the root folder. (T2noob's PlainJaneT2 V2.0 looks good - includes the July 2010 updates.)[/FONT]

PlainJane's thread says:
This rom uses Zanfurs OC path which can be found Here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's the overclocking kernel. So my question is, did you use PlainJane? If so, you didn't "only" root the stock ROM. You rooted and then you installed a CUSTOM version of an otherwise stock ROM. That custom ROM had an overclocking kernel, therefore you were able to overclock.
That's in the document as an example but I didn't flash any ROM just the engtools.
Fixed the attached file in case anyone else wants to look at it.
Time Machine!!!
Sir_Eagle,
Gonna have to weigh-in with roirraW "edor" ehT re. this, lol.

Good idea. Some user will find this thread and start asking you questions if they couldn't get your document open.
I just checked and the engtools3.zip that I used in my proof several posts back has the exact same hash as the hash provided in that Word document "ba944bbb80c8e1290f237429b8130f83".
The engtools3.zip doesn't touch the kernel on the phone. If you don't want to believe me, or all the other people in these and other forums that merely rooting doesn't enable the ability to overclock, then that is your issue and I'm no longer going to allow it to be mine. I have humored you as far as I am capable, I have shown you physical proof of what I have said, I even started to read the document you sent me in hopes I could find what tiny step you didn't realize you did even though you swear you didn't. If you didn't even do everything in the instructions of the document I don't know why you bothered to send it to me.
I have nothing against you, but if you're not going to show me any proof then I'm done here.
The whole point of my statement was because noone else in the Eris rooting world can overclock their phone without installing a custom kernel, and I just wanted to let you know that since you didn't seem to realize that. It's useless for you to advise people who aren't running a custom ROM to just install SetCPU (or any other oc app), so I thought I should let you know so that you don't misinform people in the future.
The burden of proof is on you, not me. I have bent over backwards to show you that what you said couldn't be the full truth.
Take care, and good luck, and see you in the other threads in more productive circumstances, I hope.

Not trying to complicate things, but I see in that thread that you say:
You'll still have some other work to do regarding overclocking (you'll need to get the setCPU app from the Market; if you want to o/c higher than 710MHz, you have to flash Zanfur's OC patch).

Does that mean that with SetCPU that you can overclock at least some with the stock kernel? If so then I eat my words and apologize to Sir Eagle!

No, you are/were spot-on... I think the confusion here is that I was trying to tell people to get (and pay for) setCPU from the Market (vs. getting it for free somewhere (unless they were XDA members)). I was just trying to bolster what the setCPU author was saying at the time (telling various ROM devs to stop distributing his app without permission and that folks should either become XDA members or pay for it on the Market).
I didn't separate the thoughts re. setCPU and having to flash Zanfur's kernel very well (I was, admittedly, very green in the gills back then...not saying I'm still not, mind you ).
But I'm pretty sure SirEagle flashed the overclock patch since we discussed that in the thread and its in his original .pdf document he posted. Since it really was/is easy to do, I'm sure its easy to forget that one did it too.
I just came across this thread tonight and it rang a little bell...so, I hopped in my "time machine" and found the old thread (I actually remember that night very well, I *think* it was a very hot Sunday and I had played soccer earlier that evening and was a little fuzzy-brained, lol (all I really wanted to do was chill-out instead of writing-up those instructions...but I was glad I did afterwards--it was fun ).

[TUTORIAL]Ask team d3rp your EVO 3D questions!

Hello fellow EVO 3D users! We started this thread for a few reasons. First, we are helpful, good at troubleshooting, and we know android. Second, we used to be noobs, and haven't forgotten. Third, less clutter around here would be nice.
team d3rp is comprised of:

You can ask literally any question you want, we will try to help. Ask for links, zips, mods, root info, etc. Please search first, then ask for help. We may give you a little heat for being a d3rp, because it's fun, so don't take it personally.
Thanks in advance for asking your questions and requests in here, and NOT starting a new thread.
For requests, feel free to ask for whatever. We will try to create/modify what you want, but sometimes we won't be able to, or we won't want to lol. Just remember, if we can't do it or point you in the right direction, you're in the same boat as before you asked. No matter what we should all enjoy learning from each other.
Continue on with the questions. d3rp d3rp...

I gotta say, aftermarket accessories may be where we draw the line on knowledge lol. I read that link, it said "for devices compatible with 5v/2000mA" so, I guess I don't know for sure. But, a 5 dollar USB charger will almost surely not hose down this device, it can transmit streaming HD thru that same port, so it's probably fine.

Are you on stock, stock w/kernel, custom ROM? Also, I assume you are constantly in the same roam area, and now it doesn't work? Are you sure it's just your phone? I guess since s-off is done throught the radio it is possible that s-off did it, but I doubt it. And what have you already tried to do for a fix?
s-off; Root; OTA Updates
I've been reading with great interest all of the threads about s-off, rooting for the EVO 3D. I have never rooted a phone before (although I did jailbreak a friends iphone a couple of years ago). Here's my question:
Is it possible to get s-off, root, recovery - keep the stock ROM and still take OTA updates?
The reason I ask is that there are still a few things that I expect the next OTA update will fix such as the icons going default for any app stored on the SD card after reboot.
For now, I would like to be able to use apps that require root but still be able to use the OTA until such time as I decide to flash a custom ROM.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. s-off exploits the radio so OTA updates wont affect it.
Question regarding OC
I don't consider myself a n00b, but I am confused with the overclocking on this phone. I am coming from an EVO 4g, and did plenty of overclocking on it. What I noticed with the original EVO was that the performance benchmarks increased when it was overclocked. Once it reached a certain clock speed, then it would crash if it was too high. I keep seeing people say that benchmarks don't matter. I understand where they are coming from, but this is different.
Stock kernel with Viper ROM, my 3d scores in the 2000's consistently with Quadrant. If I overclock it to 1.5, it significantly drops. It's even worse when overclocked to 1.7 (the score is around 700). The phone does not crash though. People keep saying that this doesn't matter, but I have to disagree. As I am running Quadrant, I can visibly see the test animations are choppy and the FPS are much slower for each given test. Also, the database writes are taking longer. This would explain such a poor Quadrant score.
So... my questions are:
Is Quadrant just not optimized for a dual core processor? Why would it run so smooth stock, but then get all choppy when OC'd?
Maybe there is something off with the OC part of the kernels? I've tried both Silverneedle and RCMIX. Both give me the same results.
I've tried SetCPU with poor results. Then I uninstalled it and just used Viper's built in Daemon. Same poor results.
Do I have an inferior processor that can't be OC'd to even 1.5? My understanding of this chip is that it is actually a 1.5ghz chip that is being underclocked by HTC from the factory.
Sorry for being lengthy, but I've read through so many posts, and I'm tired of reading that "benchmarks don't mean sh*t".

I would avoid the OTAs if you can, because they will take away root, and I am sure we will get the GOOD parts of each OTA in here as a flashable zip. OTAs are notorious for patching root, so be weary, and wait to flash them until you read about them here first.

Vipers Daemon is the reason you were getting great scores but once you flashed a kernel the daemon will no longer run even if you flash back to stock kernel, you will have to re-flash viperRom to get the daemon to run again until viper releases the daemon alone as a flashable file.

IMO quad is NOT dual-core friendly, please use CF bench (made by chainfire on xda), I get sweet scores with that one. Using netarchy at 1.7 stock ROM.
You *might* have a chip that should stay at 1.2, who knows...
quads don't mean sh1t lol.

I read from the devs that flashing OTA are safe since the exploit is via the radio. Think your wrong on this one, but its never a bad idea to be safe and check here before you accept an OTA.

I keep seeing people say that benchmarks don't matter. I understand where they are coming from, but this is different.
Stock kernel with Viper ROM, my 3d scores in the 2000's consistently with Quadrant. If I overclock it to 1.5, it significantly drops. It's even worse when overclocked to 1.7 (the score is around 700). The phone does not crash though. People keep saying that this doesn't matter, but I have to disagree. As I am running Quadrant, I can visibly see the test animations are choppy and the FPS are much slower for each given test. Also, the database writes are taking longer. This would explain such a poor Quadrant score.
So... my questions are:
Is Quadrant just not optimized for a dual core processor? Why would it run so smooth stock, but then get all choppy when OC'd?
Maybe there is something off with the OC part of the kernels? I've tried both Silverneedle and RCMIX. Both give me the same results.
I've tried SetCPU with poor results. Then I uninstalled it and just used Viper's built in Daemon. Same poor results.
Do I have an inferior processor that can't be OC'd to even 1.5? My understanding of this chip is that it is actually a 1.5ghz chip that is being underclocked by HTC from the factory.
Sorry for being lengthy, but I've read through so many posts, and I'm tired of reading that "benchmarks don't mean sh*t".

Alright let me explain...
First you need to keep in mind that the kernels are in their beta stages. I had a quadrant score an 800, but my phone operates fine and plays games fine. Some of these kernels have the multiplier intervals wrong. I can get into that if you need me to, but anyways, on forth. There is a possibility that the CPUs on the EVO are actually lower binned chips. Now why do I say this? Because it has come to mind that overclocks vary, but like I said... The kernels are in their beta stages. Ill get in depth if you need me to about the processors and the bins.
Appreciate my help? Thank me

OK heres a dopey question from a dopey chef.
Right now I have twrp recovery and its cool but I'm stuck in old ways. Can I download Rom manager and flash cwm over twrp? And if it does work, there won't be any issues? I know everyone.... twrp smokes cwm but that's what I'm used to. Then again.... if all the devs go with twrp then I should stay with twrp right? And blah blah blah? Lol
Thanks in advance.

No problem with flashing CWM within Rom Manager, just make sure you have quick boot disabled under your options (phone options that is) or when you boot the recover (since quick boot doesnt shut the phone all the way down) you will still see TWRP... TWRP owns though, just with the compress nandroid alone.

I read from the devs that flashing OTA are safe since the exploit is via the radio. Think your wrong on this one, but its never a bad idea to be safe and check here before you accept an OTA.

We're sorta both right. I would just hate to see someone trust an OTA, like the one when they make the bootloader, which could lockdown the whole phone, no root, who knows. It's safer to wait, like we both said

[Q] Dual Boot

Does anyone know if any similar devices like the notion ink adam are capabile of dual booting? It would solve all sorts of problems. Because instead of having to pick a rom and do with out dual core support (froyo) or without hardware acceleration (honeycomb and gingerbread) we could conviently switch. In a perfect world I suppose. I'd pay to have someone figure it out.

Use at your own risk. Bootmanager has been know to brick some gTablets. I personally wouldn't try it.

Agree. My understanding and experience was that it just doesn't handle HC ROMS well.
sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead, but I am curious if anyone has tried bootmanager recently? Dual boot would be nice, but don't want to try if it is still bricking gtabs...
if you want a tablet that dual boots...get a nook color, it's fun and easy and thanks to the people here at XDA it's able to dual or even triple boot.

they have hacked the hell out of that thing, but I already have a gtab. It looks like the boot manager app has a lot fail safes in it now, in which I think it would be pretty hard to brick. I might give it a go...

Thanks for the post, but this isn't talking about the boot manager application. I just set it up on my Rezound, and it works great. It is fast and easy to switch between ROMs. I am going to give it a go on the gtab, and will report back if anyone is interested.

It was meant as an FYI, given that a) aabbondanza, above, has reported that boot manager can brick the gTablet and b) the VS gTablet is not an officially supported device.
BTW, how did the boot manager experiment go?

[Q] Overclocking the Nook Tablet. Is it possible?

Just wondering - just got the NT, rooted it with indiferent's script and I wanted to know if there was anything out there about this, like if it's safe to use SetCPU, AnTuTu's CPU Master Pro...apps like that, as I think flashing anything right now is out of the question(correct me if I'm wrong!)...
Over-clocking is typically enabled within the kernel so at this point the answer is probably no as we are still running a stock kernel.
Once CM7 or CM9 become available this will change.
Why not check the other 2 or 3 threads about this?
Sent from my BNTV250 using xda premium
...because they weren't asking about the functionality of those two specific programs in the Nook Tablet. At least when I checked them.
The other reason I ask is because I remember that Dalingrin and others used to make standalone OC kernels, and since those sites have gone down, I was wondering if there was some news about it here...just in case.

You can OC with current kernel. See this thread.

Overclocking outdated tech?

Hi everyone on XDA, this is my first time posting so take it easy on me. I have this old Samsung tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100), which I use as a multi tool I guess (media player, second display, remote desktop control etc) and I can not go and buy another newer model plus I think I got attached to it (been using it for quite some years, and now that I upgraded my PC system it fits even better in the whole setup). My questions about this poor old piece of tech are: 1) is it worth oveclocking the thing to well , make it faster in a way I can actually see the improvements? 2) Can I (somehow) through the magic of rooting and kenrels and all that stuff make it run some version of windows? 3)If I can not run windows , what about at least upgrading the android version? 4) (You're not gonna like this one) What about rooting the thing? - I never done it myself only saw other people doing it and I was wondering if it is too complicated or it has high risks of damaging the device.

Battery consumption won't be a problem for me at all since it stays mostly on my desk charging. Any, I don't know, softwares or kernels or apps to use to achieve my goal?

Overclocking with stock kernel is not a good choice right now, as overclock apps seem to be deprecated. Let's take "No frills cpu control" as an example (Most used app to overclock).
This app isn't even compatible with Magisk at this time. It stopped updating when superSu was over 2.9
I don't think Overclocking is a good idea.

I mean, I don't have much to lose. If the poor thing fails , it's totally fine really, considering its age. So then, I should change the kernel? How do I do that and with what other kernel do I change it?

You don't need to change kernel to overclock. Just root the device and download any app from google play.
I recommend Apps2SD (All in one Tool). You can also manage cores with that app.

Got it mate, one last question though. How can I upgrade my android version? Don't want something crazy new but the stock version is quite outdated

It's a rom 4.4 for that tablet. Make sure to follow all instructions
P.D : Sorry for the late, electric power fell yesterday all day long in all my country.
