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.

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.
Hey all,
The answer to my question (side note: Swype corrected question to erection) should be an easy one but I can't find my answer anywhere.
Is over clocking my s2 different than doing so on my single core mt4g? I was always under three impression that you could, for example, overclock one core and keep the other one at normal speeds. Was I wrong with this assumption?
At the moment I'm using Set CPU for my overclocking needs.
Thanks, guys!
SetCPU is simplified for most basic users, but yes u could OC one and underclock the other (on gb 2.3.5/6 of course). For such advanced config, I recommend Gideon's OC/UV script. Search for it and modify it to your needs
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.

just want to know if theres a way to just overclock gpu or does overclocking include cpu and gpu. i feel like our gpu lacks very much for gaming
I believe most custom kernels have gpu overclocking bully in. I know lean kernel does. And lean kernel experimental builds allow it to boo overcooked to 480 just use use terminal emulator and type su, press enter them type lkconfig

To answer your question directly, this is done at the kernel level. Remember your power management (which includes CPU AND GPU voltage and scaling control...) is entirely the kernel. Most kernels have this feature built in but read up a bit and find one that does this for you. Running AOSP you can use lean kernel to achieve this, and running TW jelly bean you can use Trinity.
If you are using lean kernel you have to enable it in the init.d directory using a file explorer.
Good luck
thanks for the info i appreciate it
Is there any kernel just to overclock the gpu not the cpu?

You can use any custom overclocked kernel from forum and set cpu clocking frequency to stock i.e 2.1 ghz and overclock gpu frequency as per your need using kernel adiutor app. You may find app link on custom kernel thread page.

Over clocking will always produce more heating. Usually Custom Kernel which allows OC comes with tweaks to thermal management to counter that as much as possible.
