It's exactly what is says, raising your clock speed. The DZ/G2 was sold as a 800Mhz device but its processor can actually handle more than that so, with a kernel that supports it, you can over clock your device above 800Mhz for better performance. Additionally, you can under clock it for better battery life.

If you still don't understand what the post above means, which in fact does explain it well, here it is in more layman terms.
Overclocking makes your phone faster. The end. It's like adding more horsepower to your car. Too much overclocking can harm your phone, but a little is okay.

Can anywone tell me a best rom for save battery ?
Now i have Oxygen 2.3.1 Bravo
I would think the Oxygen you're using would be one of the better one's for battery life. Don't go for Sense rom's as they'll drain your battery real quick.
Well anything oxygen based, or the gingervillan roms
Took me a week to finally get it right, but I've managed to get both speed, stability n a Schweeet batterylife
If I get the time this weekend, ill post how I did it, and all the steps from stock, out of the box, to end product

I find that the insert coin rom isn't too bad on battery life. Well version 1.1.1 isn't. not sure on the newer versions though
Most AOSP ROMS have great battery life. But much of the battery life is to do with the kernel too, so picking a good kernel is paramount.
I'd agree on the kernel bit, but also, how you have android configured in general around it can have a noticeable effect.
The right rom, kernel, and also userspace setup/configuration all adds up

Also black background for AMOLED screens is worth adding to the list.
Im curious guys on this battery subject?
I'm currently using aurora V3 but even before that I'm lucky to get a day out of it.
What potential increases am I looking at here?
Many thanks

There is no way to guess or add a multiplier from your rom ro another to see potential increase unfortunately. It all depends how you use the phone. If the screen is on all the time, you wont see any increase in battery life as ROMs and kernels cannot control the amount of battery a Screen uses. This is a constant.
ROMs and kernels optimise CPU so that les spower is used, therefore things that use CPU will affectively waste less power.
The only way to test / compare is to flash something else and use it the same as you do every day.

You could assume stock, then at the bottom add root only and mention kernels and set CPU, autokiller, autostarts etc etc
Rightyo, need to do shopping but will be back shortly
Might see what i can work out
AOSP roms are the best for battery of course, but if you like SenseUi, I recommend You InsertCoin 1.1.4 and kernel from -SNQ, (his kernels are better for battery from bananacakes)

because he is a benchmark freak, and wants to see how its device is performing for one time, nothing wrong with that, if its his choice, let it.

Theres only a 1 in 3 chance it will work (different variations of the tegra 3) even then its not recommended.
The One X reaches it's thermal limits quite easily, this is why it is not a good idea.
Essentially the Tegra 3 is already at its limits in the One X.

Cpu limit is 90c so we have room there, the battery limit for charging is 48 but the battery should be rated for upto 60c.

Hi guys, I just tried the n.o.v.a.3 and it looks amazing. However when I go into a more complicated sense it lags a lot. I overclocked the CPU using Faux123's kernel but just a little improvement. So it must be the gpu.
P.S. I also read a post that TF201's Gpu is able to lock at 600mhz and it hits 73fps in glbenchmark..... So is there any possible to overclock one x's Gpu?

Yes. Currently its getting basic kernel source stable first is the priority. Then oc and gpu oc will come.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
If its laggy then it need to be updated, not overclock the hardware. I doubt there is a game or app that the hox fails to meet the minimum specs and requires you to overclock to meet them.

It's more based on how the rom works, and the kernel yes helps with CPU and GPU scores but I noticed his GPU scores are lower than mine, one of the nation reasons I'm still stock. Because it's probably persues kernel and has issues with FPS in real world and quadrant performance.
He probably ran it 1600/1600 on performance or something on those lines
Edit: this is mine stock rooted GPU much better than his, until persues can match this without overclocking the GPU just to get the same performance I do on stock I'm not switching.

Maybe you should consider that you're not the brightest, most experienced person in this thread before talking smack.
Exposing a component to more heat means you are shortening its life, there is no doubt about that. Those with overclocked desktop CPUs often have elaborate setups with overclocking in mind. You can't add a better heatsink, or a fan to your phone. Mobile CPUs, especially, are designed to be efficient at a certain range of clock frequencies. Moving it too far from the norm means you eventually see diminishing returns.
I've fried everything from my first Commodore 64 to my current box, and everything in between. If you think the phone can function at that level for an extended period of time without failure, best of luck to you.

Dude it was part of the whole meaning of rooting and tweaking. Checking different settings for a little bit, testing them and then reverting back to defaults. I will never leave overclocked/ undervolted or vice-versa settings for a whole day... its just part of the fun of tweaking and experimenting with our devices...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I am all for overclocking, modding, tweaking, hacking, etc. Breaking **** is the best way to learn. But that doesn't mean you should push your hardware past the point of exponentially diminishing returns, and increased risk of burning your chips out. That is, unless, you have no problem with the very real possibility that you'll need to buy a new phone.
That being said, kudos on "going plaid" with your Quadrant score

Its the Redpill v1.42... I prefer it compared to all the others i used ( stock, perseus, n.e.a.k., note2core). Those results were with stock rom but redpill kernel. Im a fan of omega but today i discovered another Rom (Hawkish extreme series Rom for N7100). I may try Perseus with that rom and see how it treats it...

I guess it works on older device though. Our One X is high end phone so that's why it become placebo. My HTC Desire take this app very seriously. Haha.

If you do some thorough searching you'll find that it does nothing except force your CPU on higher frequencies and thus making it give extra performance at the expense of battery life.
Also the N7 is using a kernel on stock ROM, while the One X's kernel is a Sense kernel and might not benefit from the changes in this apk.
