( E10i x10 mini ) cannot overclock over 691 mhz.. help!!! - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

i am trying for some time now to find a thread or post to help me overclock my mini at about 748 mhz . tha result : i found nothing..
please if someone knows how to do that help me..
i am using the latest minicm7 2.1.6 for mini and latest E10_nAa-08_2.6.29.6-nAa-08
kernel..

What exactly is your problem?

first thanx for replying
then.. what you cannot understand??
i said that i would like to overclock my x10 mini (E10i)
up to 748 mhz and if its not possible (i think it is)
i would like at least to OC it at 729 mhz..
now.. when i try to OC it , it freezes !!
(every time and if the OC is at 729 mhz or more..)
the most i have achieved is 691 mhz
edit:
also i saw your video and you had 729 mhz
the first time you tried putting cyanogenmod at 729 mhz
didnt it freeze?

this is what I did to my u20i.
go to cwm. do full wipe.
using nAa + cm7 you can:
OC= interactiveX gov + 768+
OC= ondemand gov +748
minimum OC should be 200+ to run smooth.

You can try these three variants of solving problem.
1.Reflash the rom, wiping battery stats, dalvik cache and factory reset.
2.Before setting maximum cpu, set minimal cpu up to 480 Mhz. Also uncheck Undervolt and set Perfomance mode.
3.Install another rom (not the good opinion ^_^)
Hope it helps.
P.S. My phone is now running 806 Mhz =), that means, that you had a mistake while installing firmware

is it running smoothly at 806? how did you do it? can you share your settings?

Ok... i have tried all these except for the last (third) option..
Unfortunately i didnt achive to make it work..
Do you think the problem is that i have flashed naa - 08 kernel instead of the naa -07
that it says it requires??
Also i ve thought about overvolting..
if you have any idea post..plzzz
again i thank all of u for the help you provide!!
EDIT:
I was playing around with higher freqs and when i tested 806 mhz
It froze instantly and the red led light came up..
I think this is a clue..

When red flashlight comes- that means your phone will reboot now, because it is freezed. It is normal. Try to install another rom, maybe your currently running firmware is not fully compatible with your phone, because it is custom :/
Hope It Helps.

Firstly, my phones red led comes up only when using 806 mhz.
With any other frequency it just freezes and reboot..
i have also noticed that when i apply 729 mhz
it doesnt freeze instantly even if i am using performance governor but only when i do something (ex. Press the home button or back button )..
shall i ask something?
Will this happen to all minicm future releases??

Hi all, sorry to interrupt but i have u20i and my cpu is only stable upto 729mhz. i think it is not the kernel and the rom but the chip and processor they have added in the phone. it is a hardware matter.
so guys, whatever rom you install it is the same result. no change.
i have installed numerous roms and i have the same oc 729mhz max. not more than that.
so stop fighting with how to get it to 800+mhz.
Thanks!

Are you trying to tell me that it will never work at such speeds (Over 691) ???
Thats a pity for such a good smartphone

yEAH he is right. its all about the chip you have some processor can go upto 800 Mhz and some remain only on lower frequencies even i remain on 691Mhz. We cant do nothing about it

@salvinluckys,
Yes, if you want a 800mhz phone then you have to have a luck to get one like you want.
It is hardware matter. you might consider looking at the scores after you do benchmarking, you will find some 800+ mhz doing just little near or above 2000 score. it doesnt matter if you have the highest score, all matters if your phone is capable to do whatever you need to do. that is what i am looking at.
Good day!
EDIT: Even people with the same frequency have 1800 (something) score. Dont feel bad about your phone. It is a good phone. and we are lucky to have awesome devs giving roms for us.

Thanks to all of you for helping me understand that its a hardware incapability..
Last question..
will this persist even if i overvolt and then OC my device?
(I dont know the way yet .. if you want to help me)

Better you get a PC and try that. it is better so you will forget to do it for your phone

NEWS
Guys.. i have some news !!!
with the latest update of minicm 2.1.9 ( naa 11 kernel )
on 729 mhz my device is partially stable.. i will reboot either with hard use or
after a day or so..
NOW the big part..
while i was playing around with benchmarking ( antutu ) at 729 mhz i saw that the device was freezing only during the read or write test of my SD card which is 8 gb
and splitted in 3 partitions [ fat32 , ext4 ( or ext3 i dont remember ), swap ].
what do you believe??
is there a chance that the problem with overclocking has to do with the SD card??
(748 mhz still reboots after a few clicks on the screen depending on the governor)

sorry but i really think it has nothing to do with sd card but a hardware limitation as u were told before... im in ur same situation... my x10mini cant oc over 691... its as simple as some phones can, others not, maybe depending on the date it was made... but dont worry!! ive been using it with 691 since last update and runs btilliant

I can go up to 825mhz without problem i have an x10 mini (E10i) with minicm7 2.1.9 and nAa's 11 kernel, thank you very much

I could oc it to 787 mhz,it is mostly stable.

Each device is different, not every device is capable of overclocking above 691. The most stable all over those devices is 691. No more! I am stable ta 748 with nAa.

[Q] [ROM][Beta3][24.05.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1 Kernel Issues

Today a tried ogo2's beta3 ROM. In SetCPU I can't change the frequency. There are min 480-max 600 Mhz, if I change the value, nothing happens. That's wrong because it drains my battery.
Yeah, same problem here... such a pity because other than that its a great ROM!
Not really an 'issue' - the kernel isn't set up to allow overclocking, so why would it?
Not just overclocking. I can't go under 480 Mhz. That's a bigger problem for me.

I don't think the kernel allows you to change clock speeds from the MAX600 MIN480 HTC set as the default. Not an issue, but that feature will be added sometime (ogo2 said it would eventually I think)
OK, I thought that the default min clock speed is 245 Mhz.
Oh ok, didn't know it depended on the kernel, thanks.. This may be a totally noob question, but this is the Q&A section so, can I not just flash another kernel that does enable overclocking...?
Guys, cannot start neither beta3 nor beta4. When flash beta3 (through Clockworkmod 3), the system doesn't load, green 'HTC' letters tend to reboot. After beta4 installation the same screen, but static - without any reboots. I have S-ON. Wiping doesn't help.
Please, advise what to do.
Cheers!

I eventually answered my own question.. You can just flash another kernel.. Look under the Overclocking tutorial in the Dev section...
It's ok now, I am using B-ROM. In this I've got too much reboot, battery drain, GPS issues, etc. Maybe beta 5-6-7 will get a chance...

I'm using Blay0's ROM as well, haven't had any issues so far... are u doing a full wipe before you flash the ROM...?
If I installing a different ROM I always do a full wipe sure. I did not do full wipe, if I installing a newer version of a same ROM. Btw the most stable ROM is Blayo's, next Cyanogen, but there are no new sense...

[Q] Placebo effect when overclocking x10 mini pro..

Hello, I'm using stock 2.1 ROM and tryed to overclock with x8oc.ko module, but what I get is just placebo. In SetCPU I can raise freq. above 800Mhz. I set 728mhz, but when run quadrant bechmark there is no increase in score, It's about 550. It doesn't matter what freq. I set I still get score like with stock speeds. Whats wrong? When flashed to slade87_MiniCM6 everything works just fine, I easily get 1000 in quadrant. Please help, I'm really want to have overclock in stock ROM, because I like it
So, any ideas? Why I can't speed up my x10mp with 2.1 android?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=634261&stc=1&d=1308833600
here 768mhz on slade87 2.2 rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=634262&stc=1&d=1308833600
here 768mhz on stock 2.1 rom
Why there is no increse in quadrant? :/
Because stock 2.1 doesn't recognise all of the ko file's components
Thanks for at least one reply So, it's impossible to overclock on stock 2.1 or just need to add some files?
i didn't know if you did something wrong or not.. but i already test overclocking with my 2.1 stock rom.. and it's going fine with no error or something like u said.. i got 745 in quadrant.. i didn't think that the eclair 2.1 will get around 1000 because that is an eclair you know.. it's different from froyo..
of course the analogy is like this
eclair < froyo < gingerbread
CMIIW
It's only for 2.1.1.A.0.6 with xxx15 baseband. Check the requirements.

Well i have 2.1.1.A.0.6 with xxx15 baseband stock rom rooted and the overclock works
However if i have the cpu set at 600MHz i get like 295 on quadrant and if i change cpu set to 710MHz i get 480 something.
how on earth did you get 745 ?

Yes, I know that. I have right rom version and baseband.. But overclocking is not working. I can set higher mhz in setCpu, but that's all.. no performance increase anywhere.. tried to play angry birds, but there still is some laggy levels. On slades87 roms overclocking totaly works. No lag in angry birds. In stock 2.1 rom what I get is just biger numbers and no performance increase. Sorry, for bad english.

hmm.. that's weird buddy.. before i have an overclock, just have JIT and link2sd and dalvik cache has been moved to sdcard i have around 500-600 in quadrant.. i thinks that weird if you have an overclock but just have 295..
what quadrant app did u used? have u use quadrant advanced? or standart?
maybe doixanh can help you.. all i do to make it works rightly is just follow the instruction step by step..
maybe this can be help : i tried to reflashing before i used this module..
I used quadrant standard... weird indeed. Anyway maybe ill try slade's ROM or sth

Can't overclock in MiniCm7 pro rom

Well currently I'm using MiniCm7 pro V21 rom and using stock kernel.
I go to setting>CM settings>Performance>CPU setting and ticked OverClock.
Whenever I try to overclock my phone over 600mhz,for example: I set the phone to overclock to 652mhz, return to home, and then I go to setting again, it revert back to 600mhz itself
Why is that? Is it because I'm using stock kernel?
Can't overclock in MiniCm7 v20 pro rom
I have the same problem, when i choose more than 600mhz, then it will ben chosen automaticly 600mhz, could anyone help us ?
i'm using cm7 v20
I had the same problem, I don't remember what I did but you can try maybe installing SetCPU? Or you can go bottom on Settings>...>CPU Settings and tick "Set on Boot", then turning off the decive just after that.
Just an advice, don't OC it to 748+, just leave it at 748. Why? Because, if more than that, my phone gets unstable and it reboots after a few minutes. Just happens to me, I don't know about others.

Hi, Jericho4869
I tried many custom roms. almost all version of MiniCM7pro too.
And I'm not sure about which version, but early versions of MiniCM7pro was I can over clocked.
But I can't over clock on after v15 of MiniCM7pro.
What's the differences between the both ?
So I got some idea, it's a modules, specifically differences of x8oc.ko and x10minioc.ko I think...
>x8oc.ko is a can over clock without problems but if not set over clock to make device to slow down and lag coming up.
(So when I was not use over clock, I did delete or rename x8oc.ko fot the save performances of device)
>x10minioc.ko is a difficult to over clock on some device but if not use over clock but no adverse effects to processing speed.
It's can not o.c setting to enable or over 710 mhz to get unstable or shutdown or freeze and restart, it has many cases on my U20i
Anyway, I can't over clock over 710 mhz on MiniCM7pro v21 and MiniCM'9'Pro v1.2 (based on MiniCM7pro v21) both too, because the both use x10minioc.ko for over clocking.
My opinion is: If you want to try over clocking, you should to be choose another roms with custom kernels !!
However now I'm using ZombiePanic kernel and I choosing custom roms conditional on it's supported custom kernels. Because no problems for testing o.c.
IMPORTANT NOTES: (I know, maybe you already to know)
If you want to try to over clock, please you don't try on main device !!
If in case of under 710 mhz but it is get a alot of load on cpu of your device.
keep on over clock in long time is a serious risk of failure to your device !!
its not possible to overclock in minicm7pro. u can if u flash simple kernel. it has inbuilt oc modules. so try it!

how to remove overclocking kernel?? help!!

Since i install de overclocking kernel.. My sgs2 it's heating up and the battery drain very fast.. I just update to litening 3.6.. And still the problem.. I want to install the stock overclock... How can i do it...
Did you tried Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script to remove all treaks and overclocking?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363738
there isn't overclock or underclock kernel , only you who can overclock or underclock your cpu , just install any kernel with clean install , and don't use any app and it will run with it's default settings , and if you want to underclock just use setcpu or voltage control and underclock it or even undervolt it , this will help you in heating issue some how ,
but read the 1st page in any kernel thread before flashing any kernel , just to be sure about what you are flashing and what you will get and what you won't
OC/UV kernel doesn't impact on temperature. Well, maybe slightly. Even on stock kernel you will have warm phone (just turn on navigation or play GTA and you will see). Maybe try to flash Siyah Kernel (which is friendly to battery life)?

yes our s2 cpu is heating with normal-heavy use bec. of our powerfull dual core cpu and gpu in a very slim plastic case , but underclock , undervolt help in heating some extent , but sure it will heat but less than normal , i am using my phone at 100-800 mhz and uv my cpu by -125 ma and my phone temp is 39-40 max , before my cpu was about 45 while playing angry birds or browsing
You could try formatting both internal and external SD's. Sometimes different ROM's don't like changing of file structures etc.
EDIT: You can also download a CPU control app such as No Frills to check your clock speed. Our standard/stock speed is 1.2Ghz/1200Mhz.
You can also try to go to a stock firmware, you have several threads in this forums with links to download some.
Did you try 1st to use Antutu CPU or CPU master to check the over clocking and make the min to 200 MHz and the max 1200 MHz as this is the stock one
if you are having Siyah kernel it will be easy for you to change from the Extweeks.

Still with heating problem.. I tried ultimate cleaner and flash again litening rom 3.6, and install no frills and setcpu but i don't know how to use it.. Here i let you 2 screenshots of no frills..
Hmmm, could you install CPU Spy, run it and continue as normal for 1-2 hours and post some sceenies please
This will show how often and for how long your cpu is sitting at each frequency step.

If you are in nAa. Go to settings/cyanogenmod settings/performance/ you can speed up your phone there
My performance settings
I used smartassV2 governer with min CPU frequency at 245 Mhz. not 122 mhz. i left the maximum frequency at 691 Mhz. this is because i hav so many apps syncronizing that i need the little extra power but surprizingly, it didnt affect my battery life. i also have undervolting enabled. i noticed compcache can slow the system down so i disabled it as well as surface dithering. i also enabled allow purging of assets. if you still having problems, use memory manager from playstore and play around with the settings there or use V6 supercharger. search for that on this forum. also, use seeder. that made a huge difference with my phone.
