[Q] How to safe overclock my XPERIA Play?

Installed the JokaWild v3 ROM on my Play and flashed the DooMKerneL v14 ,now i wanna know how to do a safe OC.
I'm using No-frills CPU ,can you tell me the best settings for good and safe OC to XPERIA Play?
Thank you

I dont generally OC my phone beyond 1.2 but you can use this app to run a sereies of tests to determine which OC speed is best for your phone as all phones are different.

I don't overclock mine past 1.4. My play actually reboots if I go 1.6 or more.

I Overclocked my phone to 1.5 and it worked fine. Then tried overclock to 1.6 ,and it's really working good! no bugs ,very fast and the battery stays cool.
I'll stay with my 1.6Ghz overclock ,I think it's enough

What governor / IO scheduler are you guys using? i'm in the same position (jokawild / doomkernel v14 and just installed nofrills cpu) and have read the FAQ, but the version i have seems to have considerably more governors than what has been listed
EDIT: list explaining the governors is here

I'm on SmartassV2.

I once asked this same question ot DoomLord, maker of DoomKernel about which governor and IO to use for best gaming and all around performance.
His recommendation (whihc I have been using since and saw a noticable difference) was to use
Governor: Performance
I/O: BFQ
and I overclock mine to 1.2ghz. My first android phone i oc'd too much, heard a popping noise and BAM.....bu-bye. So I dont go too far..

I generally step up the speed one step at a time until I hit errors that cannot be explained or I get force quits because the phone is running too fast. I suggest going slowly and testing things out but using the governor Performance while the phone is changing. Right now I'm doing okay with smartass v2 at .60/ 1.5 ghz. I might try bumping it up to 1.6 ghz and see how that works tomorrow.

Epic It is like the phone has no battery cuz on this governor, the phone runs at max frequency.

I know I'm mad late, but I was wondering why my phone kept rebooting. I uninstalled all overclocking apps so I thought my profiles would return to normal. Turns out I must have accidentally set the profile to 2ghz max and 2ghz min somehow. My phone was super lagging and thank God it didn't burn out, smh...

I currently have my Play overclocked to 1.6 using the interactive governor. Battery life is great and it runs steady at 60fps in FPSE. Also Mupen64 runs much better. I haven't had any issues with it so far!

What scheduler are you using??

Mine is running fine on 1.4Ghz with SIO scheduler and InteractiveX governor, the bbatery life seems fine as well...
SmartAss always causing lag on me, dunno why...

LUPUS_GB
i use lupus kernel for gb v2 with i/o setting SIO and governor superbad..
and my phone runs well...no lag..

Hey guys ive already overclocked my phone using the lubus gb kernelv12 and i gota say having the extra internal memory (EXTRA 400MB!!!) and the ability to overclock to 1.6ghz is nice, however there are some things i wana ask. Im running at a min 249 and a max of 1613 mhz using no frills cpu with smartassv2 as my governer and noob as be scheduler, it runs miracles in speed, everything i can run at high resolutions and play and top speeds. However i leave my phone like this all the time ( 249mhz 1613 mhz). The smartassv2 governer is ment to only use high cpus when needed, so that in theory means that i wont always be at 1.6ghz. Ive read on other forums keeping your phone overclocked all the time is bad and dangerous but is it really if the max cpu is only being used when needed? In otherwords should i leave it how it is or is it dangerous? My device is an xperia plat btw. :victory:

AFAIK only the Performance gov keeps the phone at the max allowed clock speed (1.6GHz in your case), so it's just fine as it is. You could, however, use an app (the only one I know that does this is SetCPU, there might be others) to make profiles so it'll only be overclocked when playing games/running benchmarks et cetera. This might save you some battery life.

CPU master by antutu allows you to set profiles but you need to buy the pro to do it

Much appriciated for your reply, and thanks button got a smack to.

Overheating

I've OC 1,8 GHz... I know that when playing games, phone's temperature raises, but when I'm playing NFS HP it almost burns me. What can I do with that? Does custom ROM may reduce the overheating?
And which ROM is the best?

reduce your overclock to 1.4ghz...really no need to go above 1.4ghz currently

yeah, but with 1,8 GHz is the best score in Antutu...

So in the end its just about benchmark score..

Antutu means nothing......im not understanding this recent fad in basing your phone on Antutu etc etc maybe im just old school i dunno.....you asked about overheating and i gave you an answer......benchmark scores mean nothing at the end of the day....

Ok... and what about the best ROM?

search for it and install which u find its best for you

there is no "best" rom, rom's are down to personal preference. try them all see which you like.

Overhaeting at 1.8ghz while you are playin a game that stresses the RAM? Are you serious??? that is your phone's way of telling you that it cant take it, reduce the OC before it blows up...!

sorry i should be straight forward and not scare people like that...

I'm running the Titanium Kernel build#4 and occasionally take it up to 1.7GHz; the handset does get extremely hot (battery temps were somewhere in the range of 50C-60C, I think) so I never OC that high anymore. It probably cant be very good for it
As for "best" ROMs, it really does depend on what you prefer, but flashing the Titanium Kernel and running the Lionheart governor seems to give the best performance and battery life at a 1.4GHz OC, for me anyways.

That is true. The CPU can withstand ~100°C but not your hand. Standard phones has plastick fascia, so you are not sensing the heat that much as in our aluminium V. The phone can withstand that much, the question is how long...
As for me, I use the phone at stock 1Ghz, and for me it is more than enough.

Xperia arc s overclock!

I was wondering if any of you maybe know whats the upper limit for overclocking my Lt18i... its at 1.4 Gh atm, was at 1.0 Gh until a few days ago...
At which level do you guys have it...?
I read that it can go up to 2.0 Gz but i dont know how smart that is...

Stock 1.4, good enough. OC doesn't give any big boost, so it is quite pointless.

Since performance scales pretty linearly with the CPU frequency, OC'ing from 1.4 to 1.6 GHz means a 14 % performance boost. I'd say that's pretty significant.

That's what you think. But it really isn't that.
Go try playing a HD game on the phone, how much difference do you really see between 1.4 Ghz and 1.6 Ghz?

Certainly I won't see any if it is GPU bound. But how often this is the case, I can't tell. I've never played any game on Android. All CPU-dependant apps will gain a 14% performance increase.
I just want app-switching, browsing and all the general stuff to be smooth, so I've OC'd it a little. It doesn't even hurt the battery life (unless you're running at 100% CPU all the time), so why not.

Highest is 2.16, me and my mate OC'd to 2.16 - 2.15 with seperate fan coolers around our phones (35% performance boost)

[Q]laggy phone after runing an app for a while

So i am using trinity's stable kernel on 1.2 ondemand gov and deadline i/o sched. My question is: why am I havving terrible performance for example after playing like 10-15 mins subway surfers? It works really nice until i get like 600.000 points,after that I barely can see what's happening,verry low fps especially when i'm touching the screen(might this be i/o related?). So,does anyone have the same issues? Can someone tell me the optimal kernel/freq/gov and i/o sched? And btw i'm on cna 3.8.0 if that's helping with anything.

CNA 3.8.0 is based on android 4.1.2 and there are many stable trinity kernels for 4.1.2. Each with different clock speed for CPU and GPU. So which one are you using? Try another one with higher GPU. There is one with 1420MHz CPU and 512MHz GPU so give it a try if you are not already using it

I'm using the 1420 Mhz CPU and 384 Mhz GPU because of the battery drain in the 512Mhz GPU one. I already have issues with my battery drain cause my phone is thinking that it's charging and my screen is turned on almost non stop so...

What about trying the 512 GPU for a little while just to confirm whether the performance still drops after 600,000 or it will be fine???
Accordingly, I hope we will be able to narrow the cause of this lag
Hope you reach a higher score this time

I'll do this tomorrow at work and i will post the results,now i need some sleep

try a 1344mhz kernel or a 1536mhz trinity kernel. for some reason many devices dont like 1420mhz.

Actually I play the same game nowadays but never reached this 600,000+ score. Generally I noticed that the game is not as smooth as it used to be before the last update with christmas theme. Only yesterday I checked the settings and there is an option to turn this new christmas theme (called Holiday Theme) off. I don't think that the power in GNex is not enough to run this game, but maybe this new theme is having some bugs causing this lag. So try turning it off and see if you still face the same lag you are talking about

Ok so I noticed that not only when I'm playing Subway surfers the phone is lagging but when I'm in the drawer or just switching between the screens...I'm on franco's r300 kernel with 384Mhz GPU. So,what' wrong with my phone?

I don't think there is anything wrong with your phone. It is not very weird to get lags from time to time while using the phone, so please make it easier on yourself
My advice is to try different ROMs and kernels until you are satisfied

Any sugestions for something nice ?

I can't help you in ROMs because I didn't try any but using my own AOSP one. As for kernels, I always used Trinity and it is very fine with me.

[Q] CPU Frequency suggestions

is it true that over-clocking can damage my phone??
I like it when it's fast enough to play any games but i'm a little worried that OC might damage my phone..
do you have any suggestion about the right minimum and maximum frequency??(sorry 4 my english)

it really depends, im using CM10 on 134-1024 Mhz. Most the games are smooth. Its safe to OC up to 1.4 GHz imo. 1.6 GHz and 1.8 GHz might damage over time and a lot of usage at max frequency

OC is always bad and dangerous, no matter what clocks you use.
Besides, OC doesn't give any major performance boost, you can barely see it.

oh,so u mean OC is not that useful at all?should I just stay ay 1024 then?

Why bother overclocking something that is outdated specification wise? And with an single core, the performance boost is non-existant because the core will be driven hard and generate heat and voila.. RIP!

It's not a matter of hearing it from someone. It will definitely happen if you overclock your phone since increasing the maximum frequency from the design limit will fry your phone.
