Overclocking Potential of NovaThor U8500? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

hello humans =P
im new with xperia sola, and im an extreme overclocker...
so my questions:
1.how much oc is possible/highest tested freq?
2.is the gpu oc'able(when yes, how much?)
3.and are the ste chipsets still closed source?
btw if no one knows answers for question 1and 2, i can test the highst freq but i need a kernel which allows such high freqs...
and btw(part2) is there a cm11 kernel which has oc/ or is there any kernel for cm11?
big big thanks in advance

[Q]How much max Ghz can be on X10? Overclock

I mean is this possible to overclock and undervolt stable our X10 with Snapdragon QSD8250 to....maybe 1.5Ghz? With Custom Kernel, or after fully unlock/crack bootloader? Please answer.
to 1.5ghz.....noway, its unstable as it is at 1.2ghz, so far the highest stable frequency is 1152 and mayb 1190.4ghz. the chipset we have cant really be highly overclockd without being really unstable and can damage the phone, i dnt think ny dev will even attempt to do this, even the desire which has same chipset isnt overclockd too much
Thx for answer dude, but one more - Desire have unlocked bootloader if I good hear, how much freq have Desires users?
BTW: I read long time ago that someone do 1.7 (??!!) Ghz for our X10, but it was very unstable, and thread disappear after ~20minutes. You know something more about it?

it doesnt matter if its got a unlocked bootloader or not the chipset itself is not highly clockable it is a hardware limitation, ive jus seen most of them in desire development page dnt go above 1.2ghz, no i didnt hear abt the 1.7ghz and it probably didnt happen, the phone probably wud be dead in 5 minutes

It disappeared because it was wrong.
It was due to an incorrect multiplier and was actually only running at 1152mhz
1228 is the highest anyone can reach without reboots. At this frequency there is a huge possibility of burning out your chip if you leave it there for long periods
supports the x10 Overclok and undevolt to (1113Mhz or 1228Mhz) spends the useful life of the cell
It is best to use stock kernel :S
to date non of the rom is actually stable.. with either OC or UV..

Lol what? Z's cm7 with doomlords kernel is as stable as you can get...
There have been tons of other stable combos
Just because you don't know what you're doing doesn't make it unstable

i disagree with that comment, i ran 2.1custom stock with a custom kernel running at 1.152Ghz undervolted for almost 3 months with no problems whatsoever
Thx guys, now I know everything I wanted ^^.

[Q] Undervolted Kernel or Rom?

Hi all
Can someone quickly tell me if theres any undervolted kernels or ROMS for the Lg optimus one p500?
Thanks
ask manufacturers of cores, they need to know for sure, sorry for my English
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468792
That kernel is supposedly undervolted. Haven't tested it though.
Also, I'm pretty sure other kernel devs used to say undervolting on our device wasn't feasible, so use at your own risk

[Q] About overclocking Sola

Is it possible to overclock CPU and GPU of the Sola? I've seen it in many other phones. Some HD games are quite laggy (Such as Wild blood ) So, can someone make a custom kernel or something that overclock the phone? Adjust it just a hair would be great!
NOT YET

at present even no custom kernels for sola ics so there is no overclocking yet.
may be in future, this device is less developers support i am very disappointed.

[DEV][WIP][KERNEL-PATCH][MSM7x30/8x55 GPU OVERCLOCKING][2d-core done][3d-core][v0.7]

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...

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)
Working device list - all kernel 3.0+ msm7x30/msm8x55 soc devices.

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

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 !!

R800i is GSM
R800x is CDMA

R800at i think is at&t's 4G variant.

FAQ.
My Benchmarks Are Low Does That Mean It's Slow
No it dosnt it may or may not be faster that other kernels i guess you have to try yourself
Why 2.3GHz O/C
Just Because i can the option is there it only uses 25mv more than 2GHz so its not that much dangerous
I have less ram then other kernels
This is due to the 8MB VRAM
Does The 8MB Vram Make A Difference
Well For me it does but it may be a placebo Effect

Talked to you in PM about this kernel last week, great to see it finally here. Now if only I could find a zeusc GB rom worth its salt. Oh how I wish Gin2Jellybean worked for us CDMA guys. That 2.3GHz overclock with the available RAM on 000p would be more than enough to make up for the high VRAM. This kernel's speed is making me drool. Anyone care to post their AnTuTu numbers? I'm thinking of installing a beater rom just to check it out.
do this work for Neo L?? I mean that it has no landscape problem??
Can someone tell me, how to overvoltage the CPU?
Everytime i try it, every App tell me, you can't undervolt the CPU and then i can't use the Voltage menu.

Thanx man, i cant use it now as i have more apps than the stock locked partition,but i will when it gets the partition bump!
Ohh! Great! Only I have a few questions before installing! @extremetempz
1) I can install any of these kernel's over full v12 GB lupus?
2) these kernel's development are in face? or are completely stable for daily use & play hard??
3) as I enter CWM or TMPR these kernel's???
Thanks in advance ...
wow..great to see this. this mean DXENGINE is stopped?
can you post some antutu scores in any GB rom you have tested this kernel? thanks.
DXEngine is not stopped - it's just own Justin's project, DXE is another especially for DiXperias . We just need more time, soon community will see some news about DX projects . Be patient friend!
This is going to end bad, 2.3ghz overclock is defintely not stable nor safe. My computer has 3.3ghz cpu no way in how would i overclock that to 6.9ghz (double + 0.3ghz).
Either way great work, Wouldn't recommend it though.
I disagree. Those who's Xperia's can't take it will simply freeze and the person can step it down from there. Those who's Xperia's can handle it, will rock AnTuTu hard. All of our CPU's are binned differently. My TouchPad goes notoriously higher than production kernels allow for, as did my Palm Pre.

i ve said that on previous DX ENGINE kernel..i highly suggest to reduce to 1.6 and no gpu OC..less experienced users may have their devices burned..and antutu doesnt mean that much..its just a test to get an idea..not to beat a world score..we have a xperia play,not a xperiaZ.
but great work from OP and please be carefull at higher OC.:good:
But hey:
-first, it's extremetempz projects, so even his nick is extreme, then ExtremeKernel should be extreme right? lol
-second, DXEngine with upcoming stuff for both GB and JB will be more battery friendly, without lags caused by GPU OC and optional high CPU OC, but no need to use it, right? We need support hardcore people too, so everyone will be happy then ;>.

of course DikeJ..no doubt about it..i agree. support for all users,even so as many users use xperia play only for gaming (most r800x users sure)..but it wont hurt a little note from OP next to extreme versions, just a little idea,nothing more.
and im really waiting for DX ENGINE for JB..
someone who is using this kernel I could say whether it is stable or not for everyday use? and such is its performance? @ DiKeJ, if not overlockeo my device, is safe to use this kernel for daily use & hard gaming???
Thanks in advance ..

PS: I wanted to know too, if I install the 000P version, I can play videos??? the camera does not matter, but if you play videos .
It's not my project so I can't tell you any affects on gameplay or so, but I'm sure Justin extremetempz made such a masterpiece that you don't need to worry about any problems - just be clever and do not OC too much .
PS: I dunno about videoa but in fact, only recording sources was deleted in 000p, so playing should be....good. Don't know though, wait for OP Dev reply ^^.
Cheers!
