I have seen several apps on the market thay say they can but i have never tried one. I know one is called Overclocking Free. There is also Chainfire3D, its not overclocking but it does have gpu tweaks.

If it's not built into the ROM, it's not safe to run.

[Q] CPU in roms

Hello.
I was just thinking is there any ROMs That are stable with 788 MHz CPU Max speed?
And with working camera too..
Most roms will run at 788, it's if the cpu can take it that's the problem. The phone will freeze or reboot if it can't.

Just like Scratch said, stability at high CPU frequencies is more dependent on your CPU than it is on your ROM. Because of very very minor variation from processor to processor you might not be able to overclock it fully.
I, for example, can't overclock it to 768MHz without it being unstable, while on 729MHz it runs normally.

I've Got 768MHz+ working stable with those ics ports etc, but with other roms it freezes sometimes @ 768..

I don't think it's a rom problem though, I've used every rom and had them all at 768 without any problems, I don't see the need to oc anymore than 633 now though for what I use the phone for.

Ok..
I oc to 768 when playing a game or so without having any problems. But really expept that you don't need more than 691. It's too much already.

Cm9 compatible kernel w/ undervolt?

Hey guys, could you recommend me a kernel for my gio running CM9 that also has under and overvolt capabilites, without giving up things like the init.d support and cpu scaling?
Gio doesnt support it, it cant..
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
Why is that?
Sent from my GT-S5660 using XDA
Because of the cheap arm v6. It cant be undervolted

Allowing your CPU to lower its volt consumption then its stock value , mostly done on PC's..

Simple way:
You charge your battery with energy. The processor needs energy to run. It takes energy out of the battery with the same amount in a timezone. With undervolting you can set this value under its normal value, so it consumes less energy and saves your energy stored in your battery for your screen, wifi, data connection etc what consumes energy stored in the battery..

lol 0.o if u compile a complete new kernel
u can set the Voltage Use while Overclocking -.-
So if it is over seven its Overvolt
It is under 7 its Undervolt
so are u a kernel Dev to say something like that?

Why dont we have one then? Because it can ruin your cpu..
Phiexz and delanoister are great devs, they also made kernels..
And it problably doesnt work well because otherwise we would have it

Okay, is that why games like temple run are not compatible with us either? Also, if you know, what is the difference between it and other processors that makes it undervolt incompatible?

Temple run isnt supported officially, so it is modified to work, but arm v6 is old and cant handle it smoothly, thats why they dont give official support..

Ah makes sense. To bad though. :/
lol FIT/ACE/MINI is able to do that -.-
Yup undervolt gives much lower performance but any device is able to do that ;-)

Overclocking One V

A few questions about overclocking
First, is this even working? I'm using the latest PA ROM.
What are the best possible settings that don't damage the phone?
Sent from my One V using xda premium
Yes overclocking is definitely working. U can notice a sharp difference between lower and higher values...don't overclock above 1.7 GHz it may damage ur phone...

You guys.... stop scarying the people already. Overclocking your device will not break it in any case, most likely will shorten YOUR BATTERY LIFE! But that's it! You will not fry your phone, motherboard, display or whatever. I can ramp my phone upto 2ghz and it has nothing... But 1024 mhz or 1200 is enough!
I had OCed hellboy to 2 GHz...it felt stable but the phone crashed every time i opened an app...anyways 1.2 is best works so smoothly...best for everyday use...

When I overclock to 1.5ghz I don't notice any difference at all ...why ?also if I sometimes try 2.0ghz the phone becomes laggy like hell

Difference is there. Just to be sure that your phone works at that range (and its not a rom/kernel problem) - install Perfmon from the market and open the CPU section - It will then show you in real time at what range your CPU works. And if 2.0 gh becomes laggy it is because your cpu can go that high. Some cpu's can and others can't. That's just how they work. My old HTC Hero could go upto 691 from 526 default but other HTC Heroes could go upto 740....
Yo Son, Just OC'ed my V to 1.8GHz, it flys. Kill those animation.
When I oc'ed to 2.0GHz stability test Crashed dawg. Stability test it son!
BTW: When I drop to 1.9Ghz throttling issues Nig. So bench your one V too.
now I'm at 1.8GHz it's stable and no heat issues at all.

May I ask why? Not about AnTuTu.. but Quadrant Standard is great!! Even helps in choosing a better ROM.. a little..:cyclops:
The only use I have for benchmarking apps is to compare changes in roms and kernels on your own phone. If you use the same app to benchmark, you can see the different performance gains and losses in various rom and kernel combinations. i really don't think they do any good comparing performance between different phones, but for checking on your own mods they do come in handy.

Use benchmark to determine throttling
Here are some tips I know which increases the benchmark rating..
Use PERFORMANCE as the Governer after overclocking.. And disable 'Force use of GPU for 2D Drawing' in developer options.

I dont think you searched.. Or youre very new.. Many custom kernels allow overclocking through trickster mod.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
franco.kernel is already overclocked at 512 MHz and it cant be changed. You can try dirtyV (dont know which other kernel has that function, ASKP maybe) but 512 Mhz is highest clock you can set so it means you are having maximum Overclock already

Its strange how 2D games like Spaceteam has lag at parts but Real Racing 3 is as smooth as butter. Maybe there's a Chainfire add on to fix this?

Making 1.86 ghz model 2.3

Would that require physically changing the processor?

i think you want to change your cpu frequency from 2.3ghz to 1.8
try to use kernel adiutor then change your max Frequency to 1833Mhz

It maybe possible, but honestly it depends on who is designing the custom kernel and the processor itself. If it is stable and safe to keep the phone at 2.3 GHz for a long time without any negatives (like overheating) then again it could happen. The highest overclock I've seen was a boost of .5ghz on an older device.

yes i hope our kernel developer for zenfone 2 will add support OC, both CPU and GPU that will be nice feature, but over heating might be a problem because intel phone is easy heating even stock kernel, with playing small amount of time my phone get heat thats not healthy for our device..
