Hello everyone!
I will overclock my GPU. Somebody know how I can do this?
I have:
Xperia R800i
unlocked bootloader
root
Not very sure about what I'm about to say...
As far as I know you can't, the CPU and the GPU are on the same chip, so if you OC your CPU you're also OC'ing your GPU, BUT, there's also an app I haven't tried yet, I just read about it somewhere in this forums, if I'm not wrong its name is Voltage Control, it lets you tweak a lot of things about your CPU, GPU (what I read), voltages, schedulers, etc, just... be VERY careful.
Hope I was of help
Oh yeah I was forgetting something, you need to flash an alternative kernel to be able to overclock, by just having root access you will only able to underclock.
I recommend you the DooMLoRD's DooMKernel, look for it on the Development forum of the Xperia Play
jhonyrod,
I'm already have doomkernel v10 and OC CPU. (1.6GHz)
Thank you for information.

I'm about to install that app a was talking about, if you give me some time to look around I'll give you more info.
EDIT:
Ok, I installed the app, as far as I can see it has many other options but only for supported devices (the screenshots are actually showing a GPU tab), sadly, our R800 are not, it can only change the cpu governor, the I/O scheduler and the freqs... Maybe I was right since the beginning; CPU/GPU are on the same die, and when you OC your CPU you are OCing your GPU too, even though you can't see it, but in my experience (and benchmarking) it does.

So i was looking around on App Brain for some rooted apps, and came across this. Figured i would give it a shot, figured no one had tried it yet on a dinc 2. And what do you know it works, Set my clock to 1.024, of course you have to be rooted to try this app. but since there aren't a lot of kernels out there, and the one that is doesnt work well with my rom, figure i will give this a shot for a while.
Anybody try this app? Confirm this works, seems to work for me.
I have used it, but it doesn't overclock because the stock cpu clock is 1GHz, or 1024MHz. I guess it could be used to underclocking, but thats about it.
Hmm seems to run a bit better...but who knows...at least its something until i can get a working kernel.
Any little bit helps
SetCPU overclocks right? I've got mine set at 1.305 MHz, but it has no modified Kernel, so I wanted to be sure that I'm really getting 1.3 GHz out of my processor

Download a system info app. Will tell you your CPU speed
sent from an under rated phone
I use it... I love it.
It even lets you set I/O scheduler.
Also, if your phone does an "unclean" reboot, the app wont apply your setting on next boot.
Setcpu will not overclock unless you have an oc kernal. You must be using a non-stock one.

This app will give you your CPU stats so you can test, so you can underclock or overclock. Depending on what you want.
I have htc wildfire s ...i hav rooted ...i want to overclock it 806 mhz.....pls tell me the procedure to overclock..
I am using htc wildfire rom ..pls help
First you need a kernel that supports overclocking.
If you using a stock Rom then look for the kernel that matches your Android version eg. 2.3.3 or 2.3.5 you will find them in the development section posted by Jikantaru
If you install a custom Rom then it will most likely have an overclockable kernel baked in.
To change clock settings I recommend 'no frills CPU' search it in the market or you could use set CPU.
Once you install one of the above apps then change the min and max sliders to the desired frequency.
if we over clock it much does it effect the speed or hardware of the phone?
Your phone may hang.
There is SetCPU for XDA members:

You will definitely get better performance and it shouldn't cause you any problems.
Use no frills CPU I find its better than set CPU, when restarting your phone set CPU doesn't keep your overclock settings even though its set on boot.
As for the govonor settings I would choose smartass2 and noop for the scheduler.
I would keep the minimum frequency on 245MHz it can go lower but it could cause some issues (lag and slow unlocking and waking)
Note: not all cpu's are capable of running at the same speed, I'm lucky mine can run at 806MHz but some people have issues.
If you notice any problems like freezing etc, then drop the speed to a lower frequency until you find the sweet spot for your CPU.
I had mine at 806 MHz with no problems

so it wont cause hardware problems only lagging and other stuff

Should be fine mate.
But remember if in the very unlikely event something does go wrong I wont be held responsible.
youll have to need an overclock kernel for that. (and a rom which supports one)
go for dust kernel or cake kernel! These two are well known for high end kernels!
Hello.
I have very specific problem when I'm trying to overclock.
If I overclock to 1.5GHz and run CPU StabilityTest it wil work OK. Tried for 12h and no problem.
But since I'm using Daemon Controller and CPU speed jumps to accomodate use I get bootloop.
I found that the problem is with 1.2GHz and 1.3GHz.
Is there any way to remove this specific CPU Speeds so it would never use them?
It would be great if that can be done because at 1.5GHz my phone works and fells much more responsive.
Thanks for any idea or solution you can think of. Or just point me in the right direction...
I don't think you can remove the oc speeds, and even if you did they would be replaced after a reboot.
You could try changing the voltages for the speeds giving you problems.
Sent from The App that Time Forgot.
"Your Kernel Must Support Dynamic Voltage Control" says I think for Daemon Controller.
There is a file:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
where there are all available CPU freq and voltages.
So I think there should be some kind of solution to delete custom clock speeds.
Most complicated solution I can think of: I would edit kernel before flashing it.
Another question bugs me: what are default stock rom/kernel CPU freq and voltages. I searched this forum and found different information.
I would like to get (will try to get) in touch with some (any) kernel makers, since I am developer, so we "could talk same language."
If there is any chance any kernel maker reading this, please reply, I would donate some money through paypal and we could write a guide for others.
Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before but I can't find an answer to this question
I am currently running AOKP and trinity kernel, 1344mhz (cpu) and 499mhz (gpu). After installing the kernel, I manually went into ROM control, and increased the CPU to 1344mhz - set on boot. That was the CPU overclocked
However, I can't figure out how to overclock the GPU? I have run a benchmark, and it seems to still be at stock, and not 499mhz - how do I set it to the 499mhz that the kernel allows?
Thanks

There is a command that you can run from terminal on your phone but I can't think of it right now. Also, a bit of searching seems that there is an app. I haven't tested to see if it works, but it says it OCs the CPU AND GPU. Look for Overclocking(GPU + CPU) in google.

That one apparently doesn't work.. have also tried Antutu CPU Master pro but it doesn't support GPU overclocking on the Galaxy Nexus...
Afaik, gpu oc is only available, if built-in the kernel. Userland controlled gpu oc must be supported by the kernel first, thats probably why antutu pro master or any other app still can't do it.

How can I overclock my GPU on One X? Also is their any kernel which supports overclocking(CPU)?
You can use an app called CPU Control for ROOT users. Search for it in the market.
As I know most of the kernels can be overclocked, some more than others. Search and you will find.

I know how to overclock but I couldnt find a kernel that supports overclocking. BTW my main concern was to overlcock GPU. CPU overclocking is secondry. If you find a kernel then tell me.
