According to the article and the Dev's twitter account he hasn't released anything yet. He has a twitpic of SetCpu with the Overclock showing.
According to Phandroid the dev is legit and trustworthy so it is a real pic.
His twitter account has some details on how he performed the OC.
Just noticed this but the Dev is actually the creator of SetCPU
I've never had luck with overclocking a phone for daily use. I wonder if he could do a similar module for undervolting.

Yes the developer is coolbho3k, developer of SetCPU. He's a very well respected developer and kernel master.
How can you OC something without support in the kernel?
Nice cant wait.

From what I understand the EVO processor is a 1.5 GHz processor that is underclocked to 1.2 GHz.
2.0+ GHz overclock isn't out of the realm of possibility.
I'll wait until it hits 2Ghz stable.
Really looking forward to seeing where this goes. Thanks for posting, bparvin!

No problem. I thought this would interest people. It's better than the "Why I am returning my Evo..." threads.
Could it be possible for it to force both cores to run at the same speed? I believe that this is also a reason why benchmarks arent so colorful since its a async dual core cpu so one core might be at full speed but the other one is on a lower clock speed unlike the rest where both cores run at the same speed always...

it's not an argument, I clearly state, that this is to "ME" on "MY" phone,
also, I'm not trying to trick my benchmarking app, what I've seen over 28 weeks is a clear indication, to "ME" on "MY" phone , that ui is smoother and faster on higher benchmark scores, simple as that
Well duh, having an overclocked CPU results in higher benchmarks because the phone can complete things faster. This translates to a smoother UI.
The problem is that benchmarks are affected by so many things that might not reflect accurately the performance of the phone. And comparing different phones is useless because of skins and different hardware performing better in tests but worse in real life.
Faster CPU = higher benchmarks and smoother UI. That doesn't mean that higher benchmarks = smoother UI.

No, not, duhhhhh, overclocking also causes instability in some cases, more so if incorrect/not optimized voltages per frequency and governor in kernel, and smooth ness is affected

Anybody who knows anything about overclocking knows to make sure it's stable..
Seriously, if you think your high quadrants means your phone outperforms the leaked scores of a quad core Tegra 3 phone by almost double, then you're in denial.
Let me put this in words you can understand.
Faster clock speed = faster graphics and calculations.
Faster clock speed = higher benches.
Higher benches != better performance. They're just linked.
Sure, if you're pulling over 4000 in quadrant, your device is performing quite well. But that doesn't make your Evo 3D a super phone twice as good as the rest of ours.
There are so many factors involved that simply saying "my quads are high, and that indicates performance" is ignorant and naive. Once you can explain to me how your phone "performs" better than a quad core device, then maybe I'll spare your thoughts my time.

I can't wait to see where this thread goes from here. Also, my phone is completely usable, fast, smooth, and has amazing battery life and I just scored an 1100 on Antutu. Benchmarks are worthless except to raise your eEsteem. See my thread about GeekBench from a few nights ago for proof.

Yes, as I stated in the other thread, quadrant is simply the equivalent of measuring mobile phone penis size and nothing more.

1. Benchmarks mean little next to actual experience
2. Score from just the 2D section in multiple runs with each driver would've been much better, all those other sections can and will vary and affect the overall score

I guess the question is whether it feels any different. The post also states that UI rendering seems smoother, but of course this is impossible to truly measure.

Restore your back up...
so it got worse when i installed his patch so i made my own with the latest drivers from the adreno site linked here https://developer.qualcomm.com/mobi...phics-optimization-adreno/tools-and-resources
this helps my phone out alot and im not sure if the latest leak did have these installed.. im not sure how to check but it works killer.
let me kno your results. thank you.
But there are more questions: Is it possible the updated drivers carry the workload on less power consumption? If there isn't a measurable difference, does it FEEL any different?
I suppose I needed an excuse to nandroid today anyway. I'll probably just try it out.

hmm i guess i didnt notice sense i only updated his patch to see my scores, maybe since the scores were lower to save battery all around?
well i made the patch to go back so ill flash his and see how battery goes. but sense this leak is already battery conservant i might like the speed and feel without his adreno update. we will see.

i highly doubt this will work for the rezound as the updated driver is for the s2 series of chips while the rezound uses the msm 8660 which is s3 the difference being the s2 running off arm7 architecture and the s3 running off arm 8. here is a link to qualcomms current cpu line and the series and architecture: qualcomm.com/chipsets/snapdragon

I think you're a little confused. The Rezound's MSM8660 chip is ARMv7.

Since the other Adreno 220 topic was also made here, this should work perfectly on the Amaze devices and fix people's skype green problem. (worked on multiple devices, sensation, vivid, amaze)
These EGL files came from the One Series with Adreno graphics.
I made a thread on Sensation forums which explains everything.
You can find it here
Known fixes so far; Skype, Modern Combat 3 and increase of global performance in games/browser (flash)
In NenaMark2 and also games you can see fps increase.
You can check which GL version you have with "OpenGLES Extension viewer" and if its 2131267 you can try flash the newer from attachments
Everything explained in the other post. .
PS > if you benchmark, benchmark with GL wise application eg. NenaMark2 or GLBenchmark since those files affect GL performance.
also they are not kernel related, you can flash kernels whatever you want, they should not heat up your phone more then it already does heat up and not decrease battery life more then it normally does.
wipe cache+dalvik cache to be sure all apps work.
As you expect, flash at your own risk (just do a backup, or have the files from the other topic (also have them in attachments (Adreno_ICS_Update = current version as your rom should use))
You can always flash your own rom again over it and it replaces the EGL files (if you don't like them)
Any questions just ask.
*read here that 2184622 works on Amaze, note the instagram problem he talking is about is fixed*
These work. Good.
I took 3 tests with nenamark before hand and got around 41-ish fps.
Took 3 more tests with these drivers and I'm getting a constant 50fps+

Here's a before and after. Before pic was using the ICS driver from this thread.
EDIT: just realized that my old driver is the same version as this new one. Maybe it was cooked in with ARHD 2.2.1.
This fixed Google Chrome Beta I think, no rendering artifacts so far!
Edit: nvm, still glitches sometimes
Just flashed this, ran some tests with nenamark prior to flashing and was getting around 30 fps, after it was 50+ every time! Thanks!

then u downloaded the wrong one, since this is about the 218version which came from the One series.

Thank you for contributing to the community bduvel. It is always nicer to have options and people always looking out for the next best tweak, hack, driver, etc.. for our devices and willing to share.
This is what I enjoy most about our XDA Community,
I have been running the 218 drivers you have pulled from the OneS for a couple of days now and my perception is this driver is not as smooth as I have experienced with the Official QComm released drivers.
I did not run benchmarks as soon as I flashed so as not to prejudice my experience.
After a couple of days I have run the Quadrant Benchmark and now have more objective results to share with the community.
AFTER "OneS Adreno Driver (218)" Screenshot 2D Rendering CHECKED.
AFTER "QComm Release Adreno ICS Update (213)" Screenshot 2D Rendering CHECKED.
Regardless of the driver 2D scores are @ 1000
With 218 my 3d Benchmarking Score is 1258
Using the QComm 213 Adreno Driver my 3D Benchmarking Score is 2235
I also noticed a decrease in my NenaMark 2 FPS rate when using the 218 OneS driver.
This seems to have confirmed my subjective results that the 218 driver for some reason did not perform as well on the HTC Amaze.
Thank you,
gjcamp
So i have the ota update ics tmobile rolled out for the amaze and i checked my driver version and it says i have the 218 one? Is this the same as the 218 one you have posted here from the one s??
Finally after someone pm'd me I looked back into GPU Overclocking.
New thread created issues with old thread OP permissions (people seem to be asking the same questions over and over again all information will be kept in OP & DO READ THE THREAD, repetitive questions will now be ignored)
Benefits:
Smoother UI
Handle 2d & 3d core GPU intensive applications & games
Currently only 2D core has been overclocked working on 3D core OC
2D-core original value - 192mhz OC to 245mhz DONE achieved 25% performance boost grp_2d_clk outputs 245760000hz
3D-core original value - 245mhz OC to 300+mhz WIP hoping to achieve 40-50% performance boost
2D-core OC only Download: Coming soon...
Download Links for other devices coming soon...
Works for all HTC Sense/Cm9/Cm10 kernels (Just ask a kernel developer for your device to implement the source code)
Note: Don't have internet on PC so providing 3 main files that need replaced for 2D-core OC to work
Download link to source code: http://d-h.st/wbH
3D-CORE OC TESTS Download: Coming soon...
Do check under sys/kernel/debug/htc_clock/clks/ look for file with all clocks & look for GRP_clks (Graphics clock)
OK so basically today I've been thinking and I've come to the conclusion that I will release the 2D-core OC patch As Soon As Possible, 3D-core Core OC is NOT Impossible but for now I'll give it a break, I will attempt 3D-core OC If/When I can get a hold of a msm7x30/msm8x55 device, as it will make it much easier for both me & users.
So for now you can enjoy the 50mhz increase/bump up, perf boost 25% in 2D-core (will increase performance in both 2D/3D intensive appications as 2D-core is used for 3D AFAIK and increase User Interface performance (Note: This will not take a hit on battery life)), I will also release a couple of fixes on patchas kernel that shouldnt be there/set etc.
(Theres a device available in my area for roughly £90, if anyone wants to contribute towards getting that device or can donate a device , more than welcome and shoot me a PM so I can list you here.)
(This isnt a promise of 3D-Overclock if you donate, if you donate please do so expecting nothing I will only attempt 3D-overclock)

Note: Don't have internet on PC so providing 3 main files that need replaced for 2D-core OC to work
Download link to source code: http://d-h.st/wbH
3D-CORE OC TESTS Download: Coming soon...
Do check under sys/kernel/debug/htc_clock/clks/ look for file with all clocks & look for GRP_clks (Graphics clock)

Don't over clock The GPU On MSM7X30 I over clocked the gpu from 245 to 260 it caused severe battery drain and laggy fps

Sorry but no one has managed to overclock GPU yet (until ive released) modifying kgsl pdata only is NOT overclocking at all itll push the 3dcore back to 192 in sync with axi, please show me the work (source code) and dmesg showing successful overclock including grp_3d_clk outputting overclocked value

I found in the kernel source code arch/arm/mach-msm semc_board_Zeus and i changed the clockspeed from 245MHz to 260 MHz and I have checked the clock speed In root explorer and it seemed to work as I said it makes the device hot,lag and causes battery drain not to mentain the long time effects
Honestly what people say on here I take with a pinch of salt, why? cause people are narrow minded, people said GPU OC is impossible yet I have managed it. I don't won't take your advice based on what you say, show me code/show me evidence then I will believe you. BTW heres some advice takes more than modifying 1 file to GPU OC the 3d-core
Like I said show me evidence then I will believe you

Hi, thanks, as I said, it takes more than editing the kernel graphics software layer platform data , that was not overclocking lol!
Wow, great work dev! This is incredibly awesome, especially for us Jellybean users who could use every bump in performance possible. After a lot of hard work, I finally have my 4.1.2 r800x on Paranoid Android at in AnTuTu. I can't wait to see what increases I yield with the 2D overclock and ESPECIALLY the 3D overclock. Please, oh please, try and get 3D overclocking implemented successfully. You will be a god-send to many of us Xperia Play users. While an old device, its purpose built and many of us still use it daily as a phone if not simply for an advanced gaming device. Expect a donation your way soon. I'm not sure if this falls on you or kernel developers but please make sure CDMA users aren't left outside the gate. We miss far too much in what's already a small development scene and I'm afraid this is something we simply cant afford to miss. Thanks again for your hard work. Keep it up!
On a side note, Turbo Kernel is no longer in development. Would you or anyone else be willing to patch these changes and compile the source for us still using the kernel? It's the best kernel I tested that works irregardless of phone or software version.

it does work because many devs that have included in their kernel have taken it out and if u push your min clock speed to 245MHz its an immediate GPU over clock but.it has many side effects

It falls on kernel developers as I have released the source, GPU OC isn't GSM specific so CDMA users sure will get it .
I usually release kernel before source code but due to my slow PC & Laptop, and I only have net access on the slow laptop I released source code first, cause kernel compiling for me is time consuming, when I do get more time, I sure will pull and compile that kernel for you

hahaha I've requested multiple times evidence and you have failed to provide it, if you believe that was GPU OC please flash that kernel with those changes with debug file system enabled and show me the graphics clocks, if you simply cannot provide evidence I will start reporting your posts as troll posts, thank you
EDIT: I have simply done the job for you

take your time to read the comments within that commit
I don't have my play ATM
but if you ask one of the users using my dxengine extreme or fast editions they will be able to provide for you
we havent working 3.x kernel. so this thread is useless.
better if you make this for 2.6.x kernels, and with antutu cpu master's GPU control support.

You dont have a working 3.0?!? Didnt expect that, no problem ill create a kernel patch for k2.x
Its the 2d-core OC only at the moment at 245mhz there isnt any need for GPU control support
"300mhz+ ... " You said. Well you man are awesome if u make that happen! If you need tester or anything i'll test anything with pleasure ! I see you have double thanks than posts so I'm sure you're good so good luck !!

Yeah plus I think I can make it more battery efficient without it affecting performance anywayz whats the codename for xperia play? Test compiling 2.6 turbo kernel

R800i is GSM
R800x is CDMA
R800a i don't know
R800at i think is at&t's 4G variant.
Is it zeus? Pheonix? Ayame? Iyokan? Haida? Anzu? Hallon?

Cheers, compiling kernel now check the sys/kernel/debug/clk/grp_2d_clk if its running @ 245mhz
