Is there a way I can overclock my beloved x10? What are the risks in doing so?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
use doomkernel v06 on stock rom or rom based on stock rom.... u can overclock upto 1.2ghz using inbulit app or using set cpu or antutut cpu
the risks of Overclocking are that not all devices can handle it .
and could cause sudden reboots etc when the cpu's "drowning" in data
and ofcourse battery will drain faster (not that i notice it that much)
to be honest i havent read or seen or even encountered any "real" risks can be annoying if your phone reboots but you can still undo or even try a lower OC speed.
i believe its most important factor in weither you can or cant handle is heat.
(pardon my english) a phone releases its heat passive meaning if you put it out in the sun chances on reboots will be higher.
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/mobile-phone/3255360/should-you-overclock-your-smartphone/
check this out its a good explenation i found.
I decided to try for myself and I now use DoomKernel v06 with SetCPU I don't really see a point in overclocking my phone though haha but can underclocking it have a negative effect when it's just on standby when I'm at school? And I'm not sure what governer to use hahaha

Underclocking
When phone is in standby mode it doesnt need any underclocking it goes automatically into deep sleep. This cpu mode saves lots of energy.
Most of custom kernels already handle it.

Depends on your liking. Like Battery Lifespan, performance and so on. For Knowing more about governors and their specialties,
In This Thread, it explains Things about I/O schedulers, Kernel, Governors and related information.
If DooMKernel versions for locked bootloader, i recommend 1113MHz as optimal and best for your X10 because moderate overclock, and compatible to most Custom ROMs. You can get it under my signature link.
Hope helps.

If I flash the DoomKernel-1113 kernel, is my phone automatically overclocked or do I need to set clock speeds after downloading SetCPU etc?

Setcpu is to change governor and increase frequency. Yes you need. Because your original frequency is 998MHz.

Please note that DoomKernel V6 has two versions: For Locked Bootloader and Unlocked Bootloader If you're looking for locked bootloader version, i got it linked under my signature.
While DoomKernel V6 for Unlocked Bootloader, link here Place the ftf under flashtool subfolder "Firmware" to flash the kernel wifi modules can be flashed via Xrecovery (in case Wifi not working)
There're 2 ways to get back stock kernel:
1) [LOCKED BOOTLOADER] Just full wipe, clear cache partition in xrecovery will restore your Stock Kernel as long as you didn't unlock your bootloader. Note that these actions will remove all your user and system Data.
2) [UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER] Flash the Stock Kernel for Unlocked Bootloader via flashtool. Stock Kernel Link for Unlock Bootloader Here. Remember to place the stock kernel FTF file under flashtool subfolder "Firmware" to flash the stock kernel then flash the wifi modules (if wifi not working) via xrecovery
Hope helps. Cheers

Hi,
Mine runs on 245Mhz and 1.114GHz with no negative effects. No noticeable drain on battery and no freeze effects.
When I choose 128Mhz as the lowest frequency it takes a while to get going. ie sometimes I have to press the wake button twice.
When I clock it to 1.2GHz I start to get problems with the program freezing/jamming up. Make sure you don't tick the "apply on boot" straight away until your happy with the stability of your phone.
Hope this helps.
I'm using 128/1036 Mhz. It's just that little bit extra which makes your phone super smooth and you save the extra battery life with the 128Mhz cap.

I believe both those ROMs come with Ninphetamine 2.0.4 and will likely be updated shortly to 2.0.5. The advantage I find (I am on stock ROM) is that battery life is improved greatly and I can overclock and undervolt using setCPU. I actually underclock and undervolt the majority of the time and get twice the battery life I did running completely stock. For instance 800MHz is plenty for all the HD games I play, I usually run them on 1000MHz when I'm playing them online for less lag (like Order and Chaos).
It's a great kernel that why you'll find it included with a lot of ROMs coming out.
So, by adding 2.0.5 to either ROMs you're just getting the small battery life update which I have yet to see in action. But since 2.0.2 my battery life has been superb.
Enjoy.

Wow. Great answer. Thanks. I'm not really looking to do custom ROM. I just want to flash this kernel with the stock ROM. I'll have to do a lot more research before I can even begin understanding your explanation on underclocking and undervolting. I guess the setCPU comes with this kernel and I can just open it up and adjust values as I wish?
But even before that, I need a little direction before flashing my first kernel via CWM.
Is this how it goes?
- download ZIP file from his thread
- copy .zip to \sdcard (not in any of its subfolders)
- open CWM
- ** now here is where I'm lost. do I either:
- Reboot -> ClockWorkMod
- Reboot -> Download mode
- Kernel -> Flash kernel
and then where do I go from here?
Another question about this kernel
Hello,
I just have a little question about this kernel.
Is it normal that the /system part is mounted as rw when the system start (not set as ro in the init.rc) ?
Thanks

Stock kernel maxes at 1024... You need a custom kernel to overclock... You can still use setcpu to underclock the stock kernel if you're rooted.

I saw someone post you could get tethering to work if you fooled it to think you had a different model phone. Nexus perhaps. Probably something to do with editing the info in the build.prop file but i haven't looked into it. Check out the other threads here to see if you can find a description...
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
There is no custom kernel for just the stock r800x that will allow overclocking with out incurring numerous bugs. The only way you can overclock without multiple issues is to flash a custom kernel and one of the custom roms. Nofrills or a similar app will allow you to increase the cpu minimum speed with the stock kernel so that it will respond faster from an idle state, but no actual overclocking will occur.
Also this should be posted in the general section as it is a question.

I have problem after installing doomlord v6 oc kernel for locked bl..everytime i flashed it the phone will reboot nicely and then it stuck and the white led appear..it is constantly appear and keep rebooting..it is not happen when im using doomkerne v6 stock no oc..tried thkernel oc 128-1.2ghz its working fine..
currently using feravolt v6 stock rom
any suggestion on how to solve my problem?
sorry for my broken english..still learning..thank you
All X10 units may not be 100% identical. There are always minor differences in the chips. So, somebody's X10 may be stable with 1.228 Ghz where as others might not boot. E.g. when OC'ed to 1228 MHz my X10 boots, but eventually gives white LED and reboots. There is really nothing that can be done about it I'm afraid.
Since the no OC version of the kernel is using the stock frequencies, your device is working without any issues.
Also, could you disclose which ROM you are using. There could be incompatibility between the ROM and Kernel (but doubtful as you said no OC version worked). If this is the case then if you install a compatible ROM, your problem will be solved.
im currently using feralab v6.0 stock based rom..this already happen in my previous rom wolfbreak 7b6 for stock..i already tried recover stock se rom rooted by doomlord and install the kernel..sometimes it cannot boot, it stuck on kernel boot logo..and sometimes it boot but it stuck and white led appear ..i have to remove the battery and flash non oc kernel to make it work..do i have to reflashed back my phone to stock se rom and baseband?
Since the over clocked Doomkernel is not working, you could use non- overclocked version as it has more options than other kernels. You could also consider unlocking boot-loader so that you can try Doomkernel for unlocked boot loaders also. Maybe this will work.

Im facing the same problem before but I managed to control my cpu using setcpu by setting it to 1113mhz.. If you put it on full perfomance at all time.. It might damage your system.. So, I suggest you try this and get back to me..

try the medium overclocked version.It works great for me
No issues. Use any cpy app and keep it below 1.2ghz. Since all x10 chipsets are not the same, all devices don't support full oc. This will result in WLOD. You need to use trial and error method to check which one is suitable for your device. Try flashing thjap's kernel. Then use cpumaster/setcpu/nofrills etc to know about the correct stable voltage for your phone.

Hi,
kernel is the main system core of every LINUX or UNIX system, even on Android (its something like non.consistent linux...) which controlls the whole hardware available on system - e.g. display,processor, memory, wifi and bt and so on.
As you wrote, your system has stock kernel - standart delivered from SE.
You can use any kernels from XDA for X10i, there are not so much differences between them. The main thing is the CPU governors. Stock kernel doesnt have good CPU governor (called "ondemand"), so it drains battery all the time. Thats the one thing related to kernel. There are also some optimalizations and so on like undervolting, possibility to load external harware support drivers an a lot of other stuff.
But for begginner, you would probably appreciate only the CPU governors, because of battery life.

If you havent done bootloader unlock, you have locked bootloader Or test as described above
And yes, if you will install any custom kernel you are still able to load original kernel from SE. In case you will delete locked bootloader image; the stock kernel will load instead. This is on locked bootloader, dont know if this also on locked kernels.
No, DoomKernel doesn't have WiFi problems...I think you said it because once you have DoomKernel installed on your phone, you must flash and adittional file using Flashtool that is called Wifi Module, and everything will be fine again..

You dont need to backup stock kernel, it cant be erased (only after bootloader unlock).

I guess that you can find a complete tutorial on FlashTools topic under the complete FlashTool guide.
Long story short:
1 Install Flashtool and put desired kernel file inside the firmware folder (which is located inside flashtool folder)
2 Connect phone with unknown sources and USB debugging checked on and check if its recognized
3 Click the flash button (the one with the little thunder), select the kernel file
4 Follow FlashTools instructions (it will show up after you select the files and hit ok)
5 ??????
6 Profit

That additional file called WIFI module or WIFI fix must be flashed via Xrecovery, because it's a zip file. With Flashtool you flash just FTF files (FlashTool File).
Doomkernel (V06) are good, Ferakernel also, ThJap th n5-1... This are kernels for Stock based Roms.
For non-Stock based Roms, like CM 7.2 AND CM9.1 based Roms, you must use kernels which are based on that Roms (FXP kernel, Amin kernel...)
That rom that you were flashed (Donut 2.2.9) is one of the best Stock based Rom. You can use Doomkernel v.06 with medium OC (Overclock) 1113 Mhz. First download Doomkernel on PC, and put that file in Flashtool/firmware folder. Than download WIFI module for that kernel and put on SD card of your phone(every kernel have specific wifi module). Flash kernel via Flashtool, when finished, reboot into Xrecovery ( when you power up your phone and blue led lights up, keep pressing Back button on your phone). Choose Install custom zip, than find your downloaded Wifi module and choose to install. After that, choose Reboot option in Xrecovery and enjoy...

*Now if i restore the backup will kernal also be restored or simply the Rom???
*All kernals work on any roms or is there any limitation in it??
*Can kernals be flashed with phone itself (like flashing custom ROMS in CWM) without needing pc???
*Are there other Recoveries like CWM ? if so what is their advantage ?
*after a full wipe/factory reset, can recovery be accessed just by flasing kernal only?
*Clocking depends on kernal or Rom or both??
sorry for asking too many questions..these are in head..

*Can kernals be flashed with phone itself (like flashing custom ROMS in CWM) without needing pc???
*Are there other Recoveries like CWM ? if so what is their advantage ?
*after a full wipe/factory reset, can recovery be accessed just by flasing kernal only?
*Clocking depends on kernal or Rom or both??
sorry for asking too many questions..these are in head..
i would be realy grateful if anyone answere these....
thanks in Advance

*No kernel won't be restored, you will have to flash it manually
*Not all kernels are working, check the thread of the rom, which kernel is recommend!
*You need a pc and the easiest way to flash the kernel is via flashtool
*Yes, for example Amon Ra, but I don't know if it's available for our devices...
*Yes, most custom kernels have cwm built in, so you can enter even after factory reset or after formatting /system
*Overclocking depends on kernel as far as I know, but it's dangerous and your phone could brick (overheating, etc)
If something is wrong, correct me

thanks for the quick reply ..
*kernal must be flashed first or Rom?? or it doesnt matters??
*what is governer & what is the safe limit for overclocking ST15i?? & how to find it??
if a similar ST15i is overclocked at xx GH in yy kernal and zz Rom that means my ST15i can also be overclocked at xx GH in yy kernal and zz rom ??? Or it depends on model ???

*It doesn't matter but better first flash the kernel and after install rom
* Don't know about overclocking, sorry...

*it dosen't matter. Personally I flash the kernel prior to flashing the rom.
*Governor is basically a setting for managing the frequency of your processor depending on different values in different governors (try googling about different governors like- smartass,ondemand,lagfree etc). In my opinion you shouldn't go above 1.4 Ghz, you can go above this setting but your battery efficiency will drop and also you risk the chance of burning your processor. Your phone should be overclockable to that value but I have read somewhere that each chip is special to a phone.
I feel that 1.2 Ghz is a safe value for my phone and is fast enough for me. You can try it youself by downloading no frills cpu control from playstore and setting your desired frequencies.

okay thanks.. which governer is best to use... u mean to say that they actualy manage to give different frequencies for different tasks???what is I/O scheduler and how is related to this governer??
