[TUTORIAL]How to overclock - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

TUTORIAL
How to overclock my device?
What do we need?
-Android device
-Kernel wich supports OC or UC (Stock kernel can be used for UC)
-App to manage CPU speeds
I have all of these what do i do now?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxNFz_ad3Us&feature=youtu.be
Follow that tutorial i made for you guys it shows some of the OC.
Kernels i reccomend.
XSX kernel(Stable and fast has some things others don't have.)
SSspeed kernel(Made for pure speed is most of the time stable and gives good benchmark scores!)
Pure ics kernel-for cm9/cm10(this kernel is the same as SSspeed but it's for CM.)
FAQ
Q-can this damage my device?
A-yes if you use too high speeds
Q-do i need root acces?
A-yes
Q-how to get those govenors?
A-if your kernel does not have them ask your kernel maker to put them in
Q-my device keeps rebooting when overclocking to high speeds
A-this means it is not stable try a bit lower
Q-my device gets hot!
A-turn it off before you damage your hardware
If you have questions ask them bellow or PM me
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DAMAGE IT IT IS YOUR PROBLEM

[Q] PErformance Differences B/w Stock And "REMIXED" ROM

Okay i m new to android (my P500's a week old , have been using linux for ages though ) and i gotta ask is there really any performance boost and increased battery (backup time) with the REMIX roms like prime megatron(rocks by the way) ..I m not considering overclocking so please dont mention it...Just Running it on stock speeds also can beta kernels effect positively on performance ???
OR can a kernel be optimised for making the battery hold charge long before getting charged??? ALL IDEAS r welcome
Tweaked ROMs can definetely increase battery life and performance.
I'll explain only one thing. If a ROM is tweaked to keep more apps in RAM instead of killing them you get 2 things:
1. Apps launches almost instantly.
2. Better battery life because the CPU doesn't have to reload the app again.
I hope you understood.
You can off course use SetCPU (Utility for controlling the clock speed of the proccessor and the kernel CPU governor) with the stock ROM by installing the OC kernel (Which increaces my performance so much that I need to underclock). If you want to increase the default heap size, I suggest flashing AmberHome or Light. Also, the stock ROM is odexed and can't accept custom themes (Which are created by modifying the framework-apk.apk).
Void is the best choise if you want a Gingerbread-like interface and many built-in apps.
Devoid is somewhat similar to the Light ROM, but hardware acceleration is disabled by default, so flash Devoid if you want long battery life.
Prime and Megatron are discounted...
There is another ROM, OptimusXrom, but I haven't tested it yet.
Finally, if you want a true Gingerbread Android, install the experimental CyanogenMod 7. Most drivers are not present, so I recommend flashing it only if you want to help develop it.
Hey themes are in themes for Launcher(Adw or LAuncher PRo???? ) HOw can i customise the rest of the os Say change the color of the notification bar ??? are there any such themes available ??? Are u talking about metamorph??? Also how can i contribute to porting CM7 to P500 i m well versed with C,C++, shell scripting etc..
Like I said in the previous post, you need to modify framework-res.apk from /system/framework/. Be caution, always do a NANDroid backup before applying your theme.
About CM7 - you need to download the P500 source from LG's web site and compile the drivers to fit the Linux 2.6.35 kernel. It is not a bad idea to compile the kernel too .
i dint find cm7 for optimus one

[Kernel]GPU Overclock!

I just found a way to overclock the GPU on all xperias. Need some testers, but remember, it might damage your device!
I will releasing here test kernels for X8, but these MIGHT DAMAGE your devices, so you flashing on your own.

I compiled the first version, but have probably a bad ramdisk, not even the logo shows up and gets into bootloop.
I need nAa-jb-06 ramdisk. @nobodyAtall Can you share it with me ?
Thanks.
1. We need a "little bit" more information about this project
2. The kernel is GPL protected, need the source (to identify what is your work and who worked with the kernel earlier)
3. The "original development" section need at least one idea what not exists on this device.
4. The "GPU overclock": with the msm7x27 SoC, the GPU clock is LOCKED, always run on the axi bus speed, you can't set it separately. You can set the GPU speed if you play with the axi bus speed in the acpuclock.c, but this is not a new idea.
5. The overclock of the GPU in our msm7227 SoC is theoretically unusable, because our adreno200 is cpu limited in most case. Just check the same gpu in the qsd8250, and you can see, with more powerful cpu this gpu can perform much better (on same clock)
This is NOT an offense, I just point to some thing before tons of idiot questions arrived about the project.
So, better if you correct the opening post and give the required informations, and folloew the forum rules (before you get a warning from a moderator, for example: due the missing sources)
PS.: you can cut the ramdisk from the precompiled nAa-06 kernel. I you have the knowledge to make new gpu overclock method, this is easy work...
PS.2.: Okay, just find the lz4 header in the kernel.sin, and delete everything before this and you can get the original nAa-06 ramdisk
Last note: maybe I wrote incorrect informations, the more experienced members/developers can correct it.
EDIT: the to overclock the gpu on all xperias is nonsence, because the xperia family have different gpus. (the most is adreno powered, but the phones with novathor SoC have Mali 400MP, or the xperia C have PowerVRSGX544)
I don't understand this kind of thread , first test then post it and do a favor for all do not create it in original DEV section this is not belong here .
Thanks whore?

I don't knew that. Sorry
Topic to remove.
Yet again this highlights the fragmentation of development here.
@op - I you had performed a search or even browsed here a little you would seen active kernel development.
You unwillingness to ask to join such a group of guys or even just post in their threads to contribute leads me to thinking you're a glory hunter.
And then when you ask nAa to just send you his ramdisk I honestly nearly wet myself.
Thanks for the laugh chap - I'm even gonna thank you for it

[Q] [Sola] Custom Kernel with OC for CM11?

is there a kernel with cpu (~1,5GHz for cpu and maybe gpu oc?) for cm11 ?
i really want to oc my sola.
thanks in advance
no sadly there is no way to oc it in cm11 because it may lead to bricking the device if you installed the wrong one i am sure they are working on it you can always see performance tips and build.prop tweaks for insane performance here is a nice one http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/general/tweaks-collection-build-prop-init-d-t1709836
press thanks if i helped you please
hmm now i just have to wait or better try it by myself ...
but...i know mali drivers are opensource and it is oc'able but what about ste? is it still more than less closed source??
ps at the moment im on cm11 with a pair of tweaks but my sola cant play a song on soundcloud...when i go to recents it stops... -_-
pss i cant run a full antutu test...the app dies when it comes to 3d test any ideas ?

WiFi not working when flashed on Paranoid Android 4.6(Beta 5)
Hello, I have flashed this kernel over Paranoid Android's Fresh installation but as I try to turn on wifi,it keeps displaying that 'wifi is turning on' and it keeps displaying like forever, I have even tried wiping data,cache and dalvik cache after flashing but the problem is still persisting,
I request you to please suggest me what should I do to make this kernel work.
thank you

I dont know what the specified rom is based on , cm or aosp ?
I have cyanogen mod. Rc1. The WiFi wouldn't turn on. I had flashed the v0.5
Sent from my XT1022 using XDA Free mobile app
Would like to help test this build, but I'm pretty new to smartphones in general
I managed to install CM11 via step-by-step instructions, but that's about it.
Would you recommend against doing something as advanced as custom kernels at that early stage of learning?
If you think it's not too difficult to pull off, I'd be grateful for instructions.

If u like experimenting, go on and do it. XD to flash the kernel just do a backup of boot.img in TWRP recovery, then flash the kernel, if you dont like it, just restore the boot.img. Its easy. Im new to all this too
trickster mod gpu governor
Can't find the option to change GPU frequency in trickster mod. Its been said that after flashing the alpha .7 kernel in moto e running cm11 GPU can be over clocked. But I can't find the option to do so. Pls help me on this...

same here, in trickster mod only few options avaible, like dt2w and sound control....
So eager to overclock moto e GPU and RAM
[KERNEL 3.4.104][CM] ALPHA Kernel 0.7 update[nov 17-2014]
(use Trickster mod kernel to avail some of the features)
-Intelli Hotplug v3.8 (for better battery perf)
-Intelli Thermal v2 thermal manager.
-Ram OC to 400mhz from 333mhz
-gpu OC to 433mhz from 400 mhz
[/B][/U]-cpu underclock upto 91mhz (good battery life)
-Sound control 3.4
How to get that RAM and GPU frequency? Is it overclocked by default in this kernel or should we manually do it if so how?
I can't post the issue in the latest thread since I am a junior member. Here nobody answers the question. Really sad. Please take this post to the main thread...

Try to increase post count to 10 by helping others i the General and Q&A sections....
Once you've got 10 counts under your belt, you'll be promoted to Member and you can post in the development threads...
BTW, don't remember the magical no. is 10 or 25...
Check the warning message during posting and you'll know... :good:
Thanks...thanks a lot..

Trickster mod has the option to OC.
I don't remember exactly, but its a value on the scale of percentage. (100 being default).You need to change it in steps (usually by 1).
Google how to use trickster mod. Or try any other GUI based CPU app. Most apps support CPU OC if the kernel supports it.
Ps: Its been long since I used Trickster mod and OC'd. So it might be a lil different than I remember.
Also, to enable OC, you might have to disable Battery Saver.
This section went out of my sight , i will check it regularly from here on :good::good::good:
I downloaded the latest trickstermod and installed. Checked the tutorial too. In tutorial I saw the overclocking slider and stuff. But with this kernel I couldn't see any option like that in trickstermod. Its been said that we can underclock RAM frequency too in the kernel features. GPU tweaking is also another feature of this kernel. But I am unable to use these options with trickstermod. Can this be done with any other app supporting this kernel?
If so pls help me out with app link and screenshots.
Thanks a lot for your response...waiting to overclock...
Root Problem
I somehow lost root permissions and SuperSU says binary cannot be installed. Happened after i flashed this kernel. If anybody faced such problem and got a solution please help me out with it :'(

+1 i got the same problem & only after flashing this kernel...
any ideas how to fix root?
tried installing su binary through twrp & it installs fine but when launched super su says no binary is installed.
Digital TV and root access does not work.
Digital TV does not work, so I installed this kernel I lost root access , I did the flash SuperSu.zip again , but still no root access ..: c
i suppose , the root problems arent occuring anymore

overclock?

I have had this phone a year now and seems to get slower and slower. I used to be able to download kernels to overclock other phones in the past. Is this possible with this phone?

You can flash a custom kernel for this phone too if someone has made it. A custom kernel will always be better then the stock. After flashing a custom kernel or you can use stock one, install a kernel manager (I like smart pack) and set CPU BIG and SMALL CLUSTERS to highest frequencies and set the scailing_governor to performance. GPU increse frequencies to max and set governor if you can to performance. Disable SE LINUX (only if you know what you are doing)
