2.0 Ghz kernel

Hai Guise!
Back a little while ago the G2/Vision thread (before Desire Z was merged) had a thread about overclocking made by a user named Flippy. I followed it for a while because it was getting insanely out of control and awesome. I had used 1.9Ghz as my max oc for a while and It was great. Now I'm on 1.8Ghz again because the 1.9Ghz kernel was removed later on and replaced with the 1.8Ghz update zip. (For some reason doesn't work for me so I had to fastboot it)
So the reason I made this thread is because I would like to have the 2.0Ghz kernel. I know it's possible and has been done already. I've looked into compiling my own but apparently I need linux to compile it and I'm not fond of installing VM's on my old computer that will barely run as it is.
Now I ask of you, if anyone who is kind enough to possibly please compile a 2.0Ghz zimage for me, I would be greatly in your debt and appreciate it much so! I understand that it is my fault if I mess up my device and only I am held responsible.
Thank you in advanced to anyone kind enough to offer their services.

Why do you need to overclock that high? I've used the 1.8Ghz and found that to.be overkill. I'm running at about 1ghz at that seems ample.

Wouldn't that fry your phone without any active cooling system or something? Sounds unnecessarily risky..

You don't need a VM. You need to wipe the garbage off and install linux on the "bare metal".

While it would be *neat* to oc this phone to 2GHz - just because. It would be beyond useless and I can just see some noob burning down their parents house or possibly starting a nuclear war with Russia by accident. Lets not forget your carrier reporting you to the CIA for having a nuclear reactor in your phone.
Look, with no active cooling it's just downright stupid to go that high. However being the genius' that we are I'm sure somebody could devise a method to install a mini fan or some liquid cooling on this phone. But then you may need that nuclear reactor to power all that stuff. Haven't we already set a guiness world record at 1.8GHz on a production phone anyway? Maybe we need to tell them so we can make it in the book

My phone froze at 2Ghz... I went in for 2.2Ghz at first but it froze after a couple seconds

LOL, it didn't make you go back in time or some ****?

The 1.9Ghz kernel caused my phone to crash. 2.0 would burn your phone's processor out. Just use the 1.8Ghz kernel and have the profiles on SetCPU set to the lowest speeds when the display's off.

Your phone may not actually run stable at 2GHz. Mine doesn't run stable past 1.6GHz, and that runs psx4droid *perfectly*, especially with the optimization they've done in the app recently.
Also, even with setCPU profiles, battery drain when you ARE running that high is a beeeotch.

Honestly, it's not really for OCing that high, but rather the look at what I can do I had a friend just ask be how high I can OC my phone and at 1.5GHz he's like woah :O His face at 2GHz would have been like

I previously used Flippy's kernel on my G2 and did OC it to 1.8 GHz, and got a Quadrant score of 3037. It was cool to see how fast my phone could actually get, but I'm more than comfortable with OC'ing it to 1.4 GHz. Anything more than that seems to be unnecessary to me, but that's just my opinion. Last thing I want is to have my G2 melt while it's in the pocket of my pants.

Oh yeah totally forgot that existed. Thank you for the useful response.

tried the module but the phone freezes after doing anything above 1.4ghz
I believe it needs voltage tweaking which I don't know how to go about sooo... yeah

LOL!! Froze? Or more like "fried"!! Hehe
Doesn't it happen to you guys that when running @1.5Ghz u get many FC from some games? Running excessive OC might stop your phone from working.
Why do you need 2Ghz?!

Nope, not for me anyway. I know different HW revisions and such have an effect on how high you can oc but my phone doesn't skip a beat at 1.8GHZ. I'm sure I could go to 2GHZ or a bit higher but unless I'm trying to emulate a PS3, I don't see the purpose - aside from maybe setting a record.

Same. I can do 1.8 all day if I keep near a charger. Anything over 1.3 will drain my battery like a monster though.
I keep at 1.2 regularly and only go higher for games.

I can jog 1.8 and 1.9Ghz for a day without even reaching a dangerous temperature.
Can I get some supportive ideas and less herp derp personal opinions?

Highest Ive pushed mine is 1.5ghz. No need to go any further, Im satisfied with the performance. I get a full days battery life and the temperatures never get critical (my setcpu profile is set to underclock at 38.2 degrees Celcius but my G2 hasn't gotten close to that). Im curious at what stage my G2 would score 3000+ in Quadrant.

You might PM flippy and see if he will customize a kernel for you that goes that high. Let him know you will send a certified letter signed in blood and a video of you stating you release him of all liability for what ever town you destroy when your phone goes nuclear.
Seriously though, I'm willing to be he'll make it for kicks if you ask nicely - btw, call guiness so you can make it into the record books. Also, I'm not sure but if you flash a 'blank' kernel couldn't you just echo the speed and voltage in the 00banner file or whichever one it is?

1.5 or 1.6 ghz kernel?

Is this able to be done and if so how do u go about compiling a kernel??
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yes it is able to be done.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!

I've seen the 1.8mhz custom kernels over on the EVO SHIFT 4G thread and the stock speed of that kernel is only 800mhz...and if they can push that a whole ghz past its regular operating speed...then I don't think 1.5 or 1.6 would be out of the question...id love to see that (HINT HINT TO OUR DEVELOPERS!! ;-)).

The problem that needs to be overcome with the current 1.4 kernels is that we're already at the top of the voltage specifications for the CPU (per manufacturers dox anyway) to keep the phone stable at 1.4. All chips are a little different - some phones might be stable with less voltage at this freq or others might be able to handle a little more juice. But, we're already at a 40% overclock... How fast do you really need this thing to be?

I personally would not use it if it was overclocked that high. That is to much for it. And the Shift has a different chip in it so it can be different overclock.

Moved to Q&A. And it can be done if you want to fry your phone

Some phones can't even handle 1.2ghz cause of the ****ty silicone on there chips. This includes my phone .
Thomasskull666 as a 1.4ghz kernel released to the public but he has a private kernel at 1.48ghz. He's trying to get a 1.5 for the public. The 1.6ghz we had on eclair was found out to be a placebo cause of error in the coding. With the phone clocked at 1.6ghz it actually ran at 1.0 and the rest of the phone slowed down. It was like those cartoons and you see a man walking at a steady pace but the background was moving at warp speed.

That just seems too fast for this phone. Personally 1.2 GHz seems fast enough while 1.3 GHz is just a nice little cherry on top in terms of speed.

Defy Overclocking

Hello people
Today I bought my new defy and I'm testing the possibilities of the device.
After some misgivings, I've made a progressive overclock and hit the 3GHz mark.
Someone has already gone beyond that and know if the device remains stable? Here it is running at 3GHz for an hour and not warmed more than 1 º C and not spent too much power. And yes, he is set to keep the clock all the time.
Did someone made this as well?
Edit: I can't post the Screenshots 'cause I'm a new user. If someone are interested in it, I can send it by pm.

I went to 1ghz and no further... you must have money to burn (or phones to burn!)

The phone didn't overheat. Even after one hour at 3GHz, the temperature did not rise more than 1 º C.
I wonder if anyone else has ventured within the limits of overclocking.

Even at 3GHZ, there's nothing gain as no apps or games need that power to run at the moment. All apps and games would run smooth even at 1GHZ. Possibility at this 3GHZ is only a fried processor if the phone won't do the auto shut down.
Sent from my awesome Moto Defy: Stock Rooted Gingerbread 2.3.3 - XDA Premium

It's still on and working without overheating, but I noticed the needless of this clock
I'll set the clock for 1.5ghz.
What rom do you recommend to me? I'm using Cyanogenmod rc 1.5.

3GHz is impossible, over 1.5GHz CPU can't work, you can set 10GHz, but will be exactly the same as 1.5GHz

May it be 3.0ghz only on the display but no in the system?
I'm new on this phone and don't know so much about it

3GHz? Hehe!

Yes, on screen it's shows 3GHz. But, like bvbfan said, I think it's only on screen and not the true frequence of the clock.
What program I can use to check this?
I'm using CyanogenMod Rc 1.5

Im running my Defy on 1 Ghz for ages now.
Never had a problem and i think going any further will not be healthy for your phone especially when you increase the vsel over 58

however you make it happen, it is fake. simply because of no heat. it is not really 3GHz, just a number you see on screen. run Quarant and see if it is really 3GHz

The current kernel won't let you overclock anywhere above 1.3 ghz. Its ARMv7 CPU limit I believe.

Just download SetVsel from Play Store, then search in Google for Defy overclocking.

Hello,
I know it's stupid but i would like to overclock my OneX, what kernel should I choose ?
Thank you.

only faux kernel betas allow OC
big warning OC is bad for the HOX given the thermal envelope
you are risking both you battery and processor if you OC
i know you are used to OC from other devices but those had headroom, it is not the case this time, T3 is operating at its max thermal capabilities on the HOX

You right, thank you.

It's not stupid and I'm dying to overclock my HOX also. Unfortunately Faux's kernels won't let me overclock on my phone, I'm going to name my first kid for whoever is the first to let us overclock this beast .

As already said it gets already hot enough, overclocking will kill it.
And I used to love overclocking on my Xperia Arc, overclocked it 60%
But I think the HOX isn't made for it

the snapdragon 2 on the Arc had a lot of headroom
the chipset is rated @ 1.5ghz stable!
not the case with T3 its milking the very maximum of the 40nm process
in other words Nvidia is OCing its T3 out of box because their chips are designed to survive massive amount of heat (sadly it doesnt mean the battery or other components would survive)
it is already Overclocked lol
sometimes you have to listen to the "science" of it and surrender

feel sorry for the kid

Why you need to overclock this beast. It is already an monster. Don't let it destroy.

It's fast enough already, leave the poor thing alone!
It's already running a fever!

I would actually like to underclock mine to keep heat down

I understand why people want to overclock. Why does someone tune a brand new sports car after all it is fast enough to reach the limit in no time.
What gets me is people posting "just leave it" "its fast enough". It's not your device and I'm sure they know its fast enough. Please those kinds of post really arnt needed.
As for the OC in faux's early (001bX) kernels overclocking was available although it was found there are 3 variants of the Tegra 3 SoC. And Asian variant, European and Australian variants. Each reacted differently to OC.
Taken from faux kerenel thread. Everything about OC'ing is from page 10~ to 45~ for anyone interested.
faux123 said:
WHOA! You have ANOTHER variant for Tegra3 Wow... how many variants are there... I will try to give you an OC build for your variant...
So far there are 3 Tegra3 variants:
Variant 1: European -- So far not OC capable (boot loops)
Variant 2: Australian -- Status unknown.. just reported...
Variant 3: Asian (Non-Australian) -- OC capable @ 1.70 GHz (very stable)

If you're wondering id love to have the capability of overclocking doesn't mean ill be overclocked 24/7
EDIT: @Kris underclocking is available on every kernel something like setcpu or sys tuner will be all you need. Although if your looking to keep heat down there's a thread on XDA about an app called corecontrol (not the one on play store) that can limit the Tegra 3 to 2 cores. Another thing too look at for reducing heat is undervolting. Sys tuner is also capable of this. Currently I believe faux's kernel is the only kernel with true UV control

I use Faux's kernels and even though I have the Asian one that supposedly can be overclocked to 1,700, mine maxes out at 1,500 just like all of the other ones. Still the Faux kernel upped my quadrant speed from 4,700 to 5,000 and seems quicker so I still use it daily. I'm still waiting for the first kernel that can be overclocked .

Only the early kernels had OC it was removed to avoid bootloops in the euro and aus tegra3's the 003bx kernels don't have oc ability

Is the phone stable when overclocking past 1.3ghz?

I heard there was a problem with stability issues before. Has it been fixed?
Also, do any of you guys feel the need to OC in the first place?

I tried OC'ing to 1,4 for a short time, didnt get any instabilities.
Which leads me to question two. No I don't feel the need to OC this phone, it is still good enough to cope with everything i throw at it.

The worst that will happen is that it will run a little hotter than normal. I was running Trinity Kernel on RasCream ROM clocked at 1.5GHz and it was fine, nothing crashed, no reboots, all was well.
Besides; It's a Nexus, it was built for this!

This varies for everyone

Meh. It all varies. No 2 chipsets are the same. What may work for someone else may not work for you. Trial and error is the only surefire way to find out.

Hi,
I agree with what has been said above, all the CPU's are not equal but actually the progress made by the kernel devs allows all (or almost) phones to run at 1.3* Ghz (1.34/1.35 Ghz, it depends of the kernel) without any issues.I think it's for all, actually I don't remember a user with issues at 1.3* Ghz...
And for most phones 1.5 Ghz is fine.For some others, above 1.5 Ghz is problematic but it depends also of too many factors.
Now it's not like it when the Genx came out, where 1.3 Ghz was the limit of CPU overclock for all the phones.
And many people can run stable at 1.65 Ghz, also it depends of the kernel.
For me for example my max CPU freq usable each day, so stable is 1.72 Ghz with Glados kernel, above (like 1.8 Ghz) it runs fine for 30 mins, sometimes 1 hour, but after always freeze/reboot... maybe my CPU can't reach this CPU freq or maybe my settings are wrong (voltage) ...
I agree, an extreme overclock like 1.72 Ghz is not really necessary for all day (heat, battery life, etc...) but a little overclock like 1.5/1.53 Ghz and you a difference in certain case (openning some apps, general UI, browsing, etc...).
But if we have the ability to test and play...why not... ,in any case for me it's yes, I like overclock and test the possibilities/limits of my phone, different settings...
Everyone does as he wants and it depends on what you want (battery life,a little more power in some situation like playing or a higher bench score ).

Well considering Texas instruments recommended highest clock speed for this processor is 1.5 ghz I'd say your fine. Anything above that is dependent on how well your chip set will handle it. Besides who honestly has needed to OC for anything other than benchmarks?
