There's a couple of overclocking kernels obviously, but my question is. How do we actually know what speed the cpu is actually good for/ up to?
I presume of course manufacturers test them, Sony probably turn them down for more reliability etc but what are they actually safe and happy to run?

Probably this topic already exists but using tapatalk i can't find anything useful when searching as all the roms come up. Some general questions though:
Does this app improve my phone? (2.1)
If so, what are the best settings and why should i use them?
Is overclocking not bad for your phone or was Sony way to careful?
Just curious, so far i just been busy with graphically upgrade my phone, and i really am a noob concerning the technical side of my phone.
Performance preset sounds interesting....

What is the best settings in set CPU for X10?
There's no best setting cause every phone is different. You should try different settings for yourself since some phones are able to handle higher overclocked speed wheres some phones gets constant reboots and wlod at the same settings. It all boils down to your phones hardware and how much it can take.
Overclocking would improve your phone speedwise if thats what your asking. But battery wise would use up more
Maybe you should try from 245-998 MHZ then keep increasing up till 128-1.1ghz and stop where you feel your phone is still stable.
I just switched over to the atrix from the infuse.. I have it unlocked and rooted.. Wanting to oc but not fully understanding so I'm taking it slow lol.. But i was wondering. How does the power of the 'FIRST' dual core stack up to compared to todays dual core phones?? Is this still a good phone (Since I just got it) and will it continue to be a good phone?
With a custom kernel, most benchmarks are placing it right under or even with SGSII... not bad considering that phone comes stock with 1.5 GHz dual core.
1.2 you mean?

here's the thing for me, though: you're installing custom kernels and doing this and that to a phone to get it to perform at max capability.
but, to me, that's slightly artificial considering that if you did the same to another phone, then that phone's benchmarks would also be increased, therefore not really providing any gain for the original device.
that's how I currently see it. is that... correct? or... am I not understanding something...?

I'm not running a OC kernel, but Faux's enhanced kernel @ 1 GHz. The main thing was getting rid of motoblur, and freeing up the ram. My benchmarks aren't as fast as the SGSII, but they aren't miles behind either.... not bad considering it's half a year older. I happen to like Nivida's technology too, but that's just a personal preference.

That's correct. Right now, though, the difference is negligible. So negligible that only benchmarks will show the real difference. Now, there's several games that will work only on the Tegra platform because the other CPUs don't have the same capabilities in the graphics department.... though it's not like everyone writes games based on these settings or even optimize other games for them.

Ahem... Optimus 2X claims the first prize
Anyway I don't have an Atrix 4G, I have an Optimus 2x, same CPU. In my opinion the Tegra seems on-par with the Galaxy S2.
I'm not sure if there is a CM7 for the Atrix, but on my Optimus it is at least 2x faster than the stock rom, benchmarks reflect that too.
SunSpider is a benchmark which basically tests various web rendering tasks and gives a total score at the end
On MIUI / 1.5GHZ the Galaxy S2 scored 1600 or so. On 1GHZ, my Tegra 2 scores 1800! A lot of it appears to be down to software though, rather than raw performance, for reference, an iPhone 4 using Safari gets 4700, an Acer Liquid Metal Black which has some sort of 800MHZ snapdragon (I think?) CPU gets 3800.
The iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.1 got 16,000 or some stupid figure, well below 10,000 on iOS 5 though. In short, I guess what I'm saying is it's more down to your software setup than the hardware, obviously any phone is going to run like crap on a stock rom with 100,000 facebook and twitter apps.
For the people that maintained root through the update; are you able to use an app like setcpu or something to underclock the newly overclocked kernel?
Why would you want to underclock it?

to improve battery live, but really undervolting would be more useful.
for underclocking, the companion core works much better and is very effecient for standby/basic use senarios.
undervolt won't work until we can flash custom kernels, which need a custom recovery to flash them, which needs an unlocked bootloader.
i don't think apps like setcpu know how to deal with tegra3's 4+1 core setup right now, someone can correct me if i'm wrong
My guess is that the UV/UC battery gains are going to be quite small with the ninja core taking the majority of the strain. There should be some kernel source from nvidia which indicates what the transition is from the different states - maybe the best gain would come from locking out the G processors.
I saw some LP <->G switching info in dmesg with a pre-ICS version, but it seems not to be there any more...
Well the reason I asked was because I'm one of the people who gets nothing but boot loops after the ics update. After trying everything, I was wondering if this could be done, which would narrow the issue down to a kernel problem.

Hi people,
This thing is really bothering me a lot! I know what overclocking your cpu is but I really don't understand what's the exact advantage and disadvantage of it?
I mean when should we overclock our devices? While charging? While doing multitasking? Or while playing games?
Please.. I need some guidance on it!
Thanks in advance!
Advantage....

overclocking actually increases your processor speed so basically you overclock when u r playing HD games or while multitasking...
Disadvantage ...
you may damage your hardware if u constantly overclock.... so be very careful while overclocking....

Don't get me rude, but, no you don't know what OC is, since you need to ask this question.

While charging?? You think it will charge up faster?
Anw, as much as it's good, it's bad.
It's "same" in PC's and phones, why I say "same"? PC have one advantage, we call it cooler and vent's.
To get better info on OC: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=overclocking+pros+and+cons
Overclocking is basically making your phone's processor faster than it should be.
Advantages: Faster phone.
Disadvantages: Short life span of phone
Normally, if I overclock, I only increase it to a little more than My processor's stock speed and set the governor to ondemand. Ondemand means only if your phone requires more power it will use more. Be careful though, and DON'T go crazy with the overclocking
You only need to know one thing for overclocking
Never do it if you don't lag like E#@.
I am on stock Rom, kernel.. Rooted.. Locked BL. I underclock my phone frequently. Sometimes I overclock to 1ghz. Wil it damage hardware and cause less lifespan

Read definition of overclocking
1GHz is not overclock, since its made to work on 1GHz by default.
Besides it can't damage it if (again) its made to work on 1GHz.
Does overclocking consumes more battery ?

yes :crying: it does consume more battery as cpu always remains at higher frequencies so all the androidians keeps there devices a bit underclocked so to have a good battery life!!

Hi, I was wondering how people get such huge benchamarks on antutu benchmark for example then it hit me that that's inpossible with stock firmware D:
Does anyone know what rom/kernal they used to get 15000 on antutu when my phone get's 6300 QQ
A few options and their links would be GREATLY appreciated. <3
Also so far i saw 2 roms with 4.1.1-4.1.2 interface one was Cyanogen 10 i think and the other was one featured on the XDA page front BUT it looked like it had a problem, it had those 3 buttons on the bottom which S2 does not need since it has physical buttons. <.<
Certain kernels allow you to set your phones CPU/GPU processor to overclock...your standard maximum setting is 1200mhz...whereas certain kernels will allow you to reach a CPU/GPU speed of up to 1600mhz, resulting in in possible a higher scoring benchmark(antutu or quadrant). I wouldn't advise you to try this though until you've researched it a bit more and understand what you are doing...as you're more likely to make your phone performance not so good at all..you could even brick your device. The on screen buttons you see at pictures of cm10(4.1.1/4.1.2 ROMs) is a navbar which is optional to use.it is originally a part of the os on the galaxy nexus.finally....you're on the wrong thread.... this should be in q&a.

I've had 2 other android phones that i rooted and put roms on successfully alone, and overclocked.
I found some kernal called "siyah" it's a stable.
I decided i'm gonna do a backup, then format-wipe caches and **** and then i'll put a few roms i want to try out
If i don't like them i'll restore and i'll put siyah kernal and overclock till i can bake eggs on my phone.
