[Q] gpu overclocking options - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

can anyone point me to a post where i can flash GPU overclock settings? im at stock 308 mhz now (from franokernel milestone 2) but want to test 380 mhz (which can get a 10 - 14% increase in performance). and a flashable image back to 308?
or does anyone know of an app that allows gpu overclocking on our phone?
im on the CDMA vzw gnexus, running AOSP 4.0.4 from birdman on franco's milestone 2
thanks in advance!

But doesn't that automatically overclock it? Without the option to return back?

Francos newer Kernels come in 2 different variants, one with stock GPU and one with GPU oc'ed. Otherwise they are exactly the same. So you can flash the oc'ed one then back to GPU to test them out and whatnot.

To return back you can simply flash franco.Kernel Milestone 2 again.
EDIT: anton2009 beat me to it.

and we're talking about his nightlies, correct? no app options that we know of?

Hi,
You can test this kernel:http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14703-09-apr-glados-v127/ and with the app of the developper's kernel you can overclock your GPU "on the fly",without reflash the kernel.
Available GPU frequencys:307.2Mhz/384Mhz/512Mhz.
And you can do a lot of other things with this kernel/app.

[Q] Stock Kernel with GPU Full Power

Hello,
I want to ask for a Stock Kernel 4.02, which stays completely stock, but brings the GPU to 384Mhz full speed. Can somebody do that? Thanks!

Might have to compile yourself. It's just a matter of changing one or two lines of code. I need a stock kernel with full gpu and undervolting available. Sucks that patch won't work with 4.0.2 and up. I had some great undervolting and stable too.

GTA III Framerate

Anyone else have issues regarding the frame rate on their GNex? I haven't encountered the multitouch issue but I'd like the game to run smoothly. Ironically, an HD texture patch did help a little.
Are you using a kernel that overclocks the GPU to 384 MHz?
No lag for me as well. ROM/kernel in signature.
None whatsoever running stock unrooted with HD textures installed. Smooth as butter

Just note that kernel doesn't work on ARHD because ARHD is on 4.0.2. Kernel supports 4.0.3+
So you'll have to find a ROM thats using 4.0.3 (or modaco with 4.0.3 kernel support), or a kernel with 4.0.2 compatability. 4.0.3 also comes with optimizations that should help.
running ARHD with James Bond kernel 1.35 OC UV, the game run really smooth. patched.
Guys wanted to post an update:
I applied the (only) 4.0.2 kernel (James Bond) OC'd at 1.4, I later decided I didn't need an OC so I used SetCPU to bring it back to 1.2 Ghz, and UV'd as well. The GPU OC made a *huge* difference. Thanks guys.

[Q] Custom ROM for modern combat 3.

Hello there forum.
I have been wondering if someone can help me find a custom ROM for my [GSM] Galaxy nexus that can support both 13500ghz CPU overclocking as well as games such as Modern combat 3 and GTA3. This actually will help me increase the graphics performance and keep my nexus in the right temperature. I have tested Foxhound ROM but it appeared that it doesn't support games.
It is my first thread and I hope everyone will benefit from it . thanks
You're looking for a kernel not a ROM. A ROM doesn't control CPU overclocking.
AOKP + Franco Kernel will do you well though. As Franco Kernel requires 4.0.3.

Kernel is responsible for overclocking your CPU, undervolting, etc.
This kernel will ALSO OC your GPU to 384 MHz from 308 MHz (or so) so it should help a lot.

Great,, so now the only 4.0.3 I have is the Foxhound ROM. Should i flash into it and then try and install the Kernal from there?

Just flash it after flashing a ROM. If Foxhound is 4.0.3 then you can try it with that, I personally prefer AOKP but like I said before if Foxhound is 4.0.3 then go for it unless you want to try AOKP.
Good, i will work on it right now. ill hit you when works.

You might try Morphics Trinity kernel.
http://www.derkernel.com/ics-tuna-exp.html
Try this one, it has an over-clocked GPU as well
TNP138-RD-FUV
This is the Trinity NP kernel with 1382MHz CPU And 512 GPU clock
It might help you out.

Try GLaDOS by ezekeel. it has GPU overclock till 500 mhz and CPU overclock till 1.6 ghz
For changing live overclock and other tweaks get nstools from market or buy glados control.

Just be aware that some devices cannot handle over-clocking past 1.3. The phone will crash and reboot. If you try a kernel with over-clock to 1.6 be sure that you DO NOT check "set on boot". That way if your phone crashes and reboots, it will boot up OK.
In the link above for Trinity kernel there is a 1.6 CPU w/ 512 GPU. If you want to try it.
I have also read that even the devices that can handle the 1.6 without crashing, don't actually run at 1.6 due to thermal throttle. When the CPU reaches 1.6 it over heats and will thermal throttle down within seconds.
Let us know how it turns out.

Overclock flash kernels for Galaxy Nexus w/ Jelly Bean (4.1)?

I rooted my Galaxy Nexus two days ago and I got the new Jelly Bean OS, but problem is now my phone's CPU is back to 1.2 GHz and I would like to overclock it back to about 1.4-1.5 GHz. I have an extended battery so overclocking really isn't an issue with me.
Has anyone developed any kernels I can flash onto this new OS phone?

I'm using Franco's kernel, which allows for overclocking up to 1.9Ghz. You'll need to buy his app though I think to be able to set the custom speed (or wait for a ROM that has the feature built-in).

Riiiight... SetCPU ... It's been a while since I've used that one so I forgot about it . Used to use it on my Nexus One though, great app.
However if you're using Franco's kernel, buying his app is a great way to support the dev plus you get easy access to all the possible tweaks you can make with his kernel. Worth every cent !

Best route for overclocking with CM10?

This is my first rooted device and I'd like to set the CPU frequency higher. I've read that 1600 is moderately safe and 1800 is feasible. After installing setcpu I've realized that CM10's kernel does not allow overclocking. What is the best action to take? Am I out of luck if I want to stick with CM10? Or is there another kernel I can use compatible with CM10? Thanks for reading.

Try kt kernel in original development, I've used it with great success. Has oc up to 1.89. Also allows you to under volt to save some battery. In conjunction with ktoonz kernel get voltage control from the market to adjust cpu clock and voltages.

I use Leankernel to go up to 1.9Ghz :good:

Mine has been getting pretty damn hot just at stock clock speeds...you sure you want to do that? CM10 is so fast already!

Thanks for the suggestion. I used Leankernel all day without a single issue that isn't specific to CM10 right now.
P.S. I also upgraded the modem to I747UCLH1 from this thread. To anyone interested, test your data speed on all three modems to find the best one to keep. My rates doubled with this new modem.
Kt new kernel up. 2.1ghz ktweeker app. Running Sammy version and it's blazin fast.

Hey this might be a bit late on this thread, but Siyah has just released an updated, which works with cm10 and allows for overclocking up to 1600, and undervolting to save on that ole battery... currently for the galaxy s3
Obligatory reminder:
Not all phones are the same. Some tolerate overclock/undervolt better than others. What you WANT your phone to do may not actually be what it WILL do. Start slow, only change one step at a time. I would recommend finding the perfect oc point for your phone, then slowly, slowly working the undervolt into it.
