advice about bootloader/overclock - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I want unlock bootloader on my ray mostly because of overclock and now wont to now how much is really performance improvement with overclock, in other words does it pay of the risk of loosing warranty?
thx

Unlock bootloader and overclock only if you aren't satisfied with your current performance ... It surely sounds sweet but You will surely void your warranty by overclocking.... If you are a new bie then I don't recommend overclocking because you may brick your device or worst burn your CPU... It is must to have enough basic android experience such as rooting first.

I am not new i have ray half year now and i was have x8 for 1 year before ray and it was have unlock bootloader, custom kernel, overclock and many other mods, i know android pretty well, i just want to ask someone who overclocked ray is he sadisfied with performance and does it worth

Okay so go ahead ... I don't have ray but walkman .. I've overclocked it and its worth it...

If u unlock ur bootloader it will void ur warranty. It will be good if u overclock it, like others say.

I've seen some reports about ppl burning their phones because of OC....
I would not really recommend it. 1GHz is enough for your phone being smooth.
But if you must OC it, be careful and don't overdo it. Don't OC to like 1.6GHz - 1.8GHz like some sorry dumbasses do.
After all It's better to have a working phone then a burned one
I'm not trying to be a smartass here, just trying to make you think twice before doing it

According to my experience 100mhz =+2 max fps u can use supercharger v6,built.prop n init.d tweaks these won't affect your phone's life

Yeah, already did all of that

Ive seen a guy in antutu. He is using stock 2.3.4 oc=2.0gGhz he got 6000+ score!! That's half of galaxy s3 running on stock
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app

you can relock bootloader
i'm on 1.6 GHz on JellyBean on xperia mini and it is stable

I clocked my phone to 1.5Ghz and this is more than perfect. I don't have fps issues in games anymore (at least those I've played yet) and the phone doesn't seem to be too hot. It feels more like charging the battery, so I think there's no problem.

What abt nova 3 multiplayer??

I'm sure his phone enjoyed the 10 minutes of powerful life it had before going into service!

Whatis the max safe overclock freq to run nova 3 multiplayer smoothly??I've found that after installing chainfire I've seen huge graphic improvement which reduced performance but after uninstalling cf graphics were decreased but gaming was lot smoother,could you please tell me how dalvik.vm.heapsize works for games

It consumes more battery to gain more performance. Set it to higher if u want to play big games. But it will drain battery more

Overclocking issues

I'm currently on The Unofficial v1.5 and supposedly it supports overclocking up to 1.9 ghz. Has anyone else using this rom noticed that when you raise the clock speed that high it just reboots constantly? Its supposed to be able to support it, so have I done something wrong?

Most kernels say 1.9 but u should stay at 1.83. 1.9 creates bootloop
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yes...it does bootloop alot at that speed.. the safest speed is 1.83 or even 1.89 that's plenty of enough speed without any problems...

1.94 os max speed if u read it says 1.83 stable
sent from team perfections ics rom
The max speed on any device is always unstable. Actually most of the time the top two or three speeds ar always unstable. It also depends on the device too. My Note and your Note may not be stable at the same speed and the rom has nothing to do with it, its the chip in your phone. I remember I had a Touch Pro 2 once that most people could only over clock to 710MHz but a few of us could overclock to 786MHz. I have my Note running pretty stable at 1836 but I have seen some people complaing about bootloops at that speed so it really depends on your device. Remeber when testing out clock speeds make sure that you never check "Apply At Boot" in case the speed is not stable and only check it when you find a stable speed. Her's a video of someone running stable at 1890MHz

Yes. Leave it at 1.5max and 192min. If you're not doing anything that requires oc'ing, why set it high.

Just a tip if you overclock your CPU it will drain the battery life faster keep this in mind.....
The unofficial v1.5 rom came with an OC tool. If I downloaded another one, say SetCPU, will it just override the native tool?

LWW Normal Temperature for OC ?

Hi guys, I'm trying to overclock my lww and I've been running some benchmarks to see the results. I'm concerned about the temperature - I don't know much about mobile overclocking and my question is what temperature is safe for my phone ? Currently I'm running stability test - cpu and gpu testing on 1.6ghz and the peak temperature is 38 degrees. What can you tell me about it ?
I'm not sure if the LWW has an SoC with a CPU thermal sensor.. Its probably the battery temperature.. Even so.. anything below 40-45 degrees should be just fine.. Phone should reboot on overheating I guess.. Most phones heat up anyways on charging so you should be ok.. As always overclocking will reduce battery life.. so will constant higher system temperature..
Thanks for the reply. So i guess 1.4 should be just fine for mainstream overclocking :fingers-crossed:

I'm using KRsH Kernel v3.0 ICS with MiniCMSandwich Lite Final v4 AOSP. Pretty good I would say. You mus tweak it a little bit for best performance.
You can overclock upto 1.9 GHz using rage kernel. But it seems very heavy on battery. My advice Is upto ~1.4Ghz .. Temp. Is max upto 38 on heavy usage.

overclocking is not advised as the oem set the clock speed to an optimum value...below it you will lose performance and above it you will force your cpu to age early.
for gingerbread you dont need to OC at all...however for ICS OC helps to run smoothly...i dont overclock above 1.2gzs...this is a safe value and wont push the cpu to the limits.
no OC and works fine
I used 1,4 GHz for a week on ICS and my phone is still going strong, but don't take the risk. If you can't stand the lag, use Jelly bean or Gingerbread.
Why nothing about underclocking?
Well i use underclocking than over clocking....my phone needs to survive the longer power couts in my location
one +factor of underclocking..... less battery drain ^^
For daily use i set min 245 and max 806 and it's ok. Battery hold longer.
I OC to 1.4; 1.6 to individual apps like Real Racing.
When playing hard games 1.6 gHz, but for daily use i dont overclock it at all, or i just overclock it to 1.2 gHz.
Im on locked bl and just use all day 1024 Mhz with performence with antutu cpu master pro and cpu spy plus (new on the playstore, very good app) and just running fast with Jelly sandwich 7.1 and in 1 word... Just flying !!!

Safe OC is 1.4 IMO.
But every silicon chip is different and you may or may not get stability issues after overclock.
Also, overclocking is like smoking. Though you enjoy it, you're effectively killing yourself.
If you ask me, I never OC my phone.
And @Pandemic, don't use performance governor,
It kills your phone without overclock.
Also, it causes battery drain...

You my friend, don't know what you're talking about.
You manipulate hardware when you
Overclock. But it's a completely harmless software manupulation when you root.
So you can root and still not kill your phone

Moved thread to Q&A Let's keep things nice everyone, happy discussing!
1.9ghz for gaming
1.4Ghz bcoz Arc S uses the T variant of the chip which seems like just an exact copy at a higher clock.
my neo runs at 1.4g, 1150mv
my opinion
oc at higher voltage, bad
oc and undervolt a bit, ok

Mate,if you brick your phone software,that can be easily fixed with Flashtool,SEUS,PC Companion etc.If you brick your phone hardware,that piece of hardware become useless,and must be replaced.So you can't compare bricking hardware with bricking software.

I clocked my phone to 1.5 and it's perfect for everyday use.Now that the cold months come it would be even better, not that I felt more heating though.. I still get a 2-day battery time thanks to the power saving options of the kernel and the rom.

[Q] Any roms that help gaming performance?

I just was wondering if there were any fast roms that have special aroma options to help the gaming performance on the galaxy note. I used to use the HTC evo 3d and I found an ics rom called nega lite and it had some options in the aroma installer to disable vsync and multisampling and things run a lot faster on that rom only game wise. Atm I am on a kitkat rom with the uber kernel installed but I ran a quadrant and I got what seemed to be a low score of 3100. I know the resolution on the note is a lot higher than most 4.7in phones so maybe that's why things seem slower. Idk. If anyone can give me a few links to faster roms that you use or just something I can do to help 3D performance that would be great! Thanks! PS: I ran an app called nenamark 2 which is an fps tester and I got 31-32fps final score if possible run this app on your note and see if you get a higher fps score and let me know what your rom and kernel set up is. Thanks again.

Since you installed a kernel your able to adjust the cpu now. What settings are you currently using when you get these stats? Did you overclock the cpu? What governor are you using? What app are you using to tweek? I think that most users with that kernel use setcpu. Under the developer options of your phone have you played with the gpu settings at all?
I'm using on demand governor and it is maxed oc I'm also overclocking using the performance option in settings that came with the rom. Can you run Nena mark 2 and quadrant and tell me your scores?
