Hello,
I know it's stupid but i would like to overclock my OneX, what kernel should I choose ?
Thank you.

only faux kernel betas allow OC
big warning OC is bad for the HOX given the thermal envelope
you are risking both you battery and processor if you OC
i know you are used to OC from other devices but those had headroom, it is not the case this time, T3 is operating at its max thermal capabilities on the HOX

You right, thank you.

It's not stupid and I'm dying to overclock my HOX also. Unfortunately Faux's kernels won't let me overclock on my phone, I'm going to name my first kid for whoever is the first to let us overclock this beast .

As already said it gets already hot enough, overclocking will kill it.
And I used to love overclocking on my Xperia Arc, overclocked it 60%
But I think the HOX isn't made for it

the snapdragon 2 on the Arc had a lot of headroom
the chipset is rated @ 1.5ghz stable!
not the case with T3 its milking the very maximum of the 40nm process
in other words Nvidia is OCing its T3 out of box because their chips are designed to survive massive amount of heat (sadly it doesnt mean the battery or other components would survive)
it is already Overclocked lol
sometimes you have to listen to the "science" of it and surrender

feel sorry for the kid

Why you need to overclock this beast. It is already an monster. Don't let it destroy.

It's fast enough already, leave the poor thing alone!
It's already running a fever!

I would actually like to underclock mine to keep heat down

I understand why people want to overclock. Why does someone tune a brand new sports car after all it is fast enough to reach the limit in no time.
What gets me is people posting "just leave it" "its fast enough". It's not your device and I'm sure they know its fast enough. Please those kinds of post really arnt needed.
As for the OC in faux's early (001bX) kernels overclocking was available although it was found there are 3 variants of the Tegra 3 SoC. And Asian variant, European and Australian variants. Each reacted differently to OC.
Taken from faux kerenel thread. Everything about OC'ing is from page 10~ to 45~ for anyone interested.
faux123 said:
WHOA! You have ANOTHER variant for Tegra3 Wow... how many variants are there... I will try to give you an OC build for your variant...
So far there are 3 Tegra3 variants:
Variant 1: European -- So far not OC capable (boot loops)
Variant 2: Australian -- Status unknown.. just reported...
Variant 3: Asian (Non-Australian) -- OC capable @ 1.70 GHz (very stable)

If you're wondering id love to have the capability of overclocking doesn't mean ill be overclocked 24/7
EDIT: @Kris underclocking is available on every kernel something like setcpu or sys tuner will be all you need. Although if your looking to keep heat down there's a thread on XDA about an app called corecontrol (not the one on play store) that can limit the Tegra 3 to 2 cores. Another thing too look at for reducing heat is undervolting. Sys tuner is also capable of this. Currently I believe faux's kernel is the only kernel with true UV control

I use Faux's kernels and even though I have the Asian one that supposedly can be overclocked to 1,700, mine maxes out at 1,500 just like all of the other ones. Still the Faux kernel upped my quadrant speed from 4,700 to 5,000 and seems quicker so I still use it daily. I'm still waiting for the first kernel that can be overclocked .

Only the early kernels had OC it was removed to avoid bootloops in the euro and aus tegra3's the 003bx kernels don't have oc ability

[Q] R800x, Post your Overclock CPU speeds below....

OK, so I currently have my PLAY set to 1.2ghz. My first android phone I OCd from 600mhz to 1ghz and one day while playing a game I heard a loud pop noise, then my phone shut off and that was that... toast. So I have been extremely leary of overclocking now. I am aware there are users who have OCd their phone to 1.4+
My question is how safe is when I use No frills to OC is it ramping up the volts to get that extra power. Also according to the Snapdragon layout it lists the S2 in our phones as capable of 1-1.5ghz... does this mean I could technically go up to 1.5 and be OK? I have a large 3600mha mugen battery, so thats not an issue, but what I am afraid of is popping my phones brains out...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
Look at Snapdragon S2 section
MSM8255
Also, it sayd for phones that use the above chip.. GSM only for Xperia PLAY... if that is the case does that mean R800x users are on a differerent chip? And if so what chip is it? Thanks in advance.

We're on the MSM8655 instead of the 8225. iirc, the difference is that it's cdma oriented as opposed to gsm
Each chip is different in what it can handle, so your best bet is to test it out, slowly. When your system starts to act funky, step down the voltage/speed levels.

Ps. Tried running mine @ 2 ghz once and was promptly rewarded with a random reboot. It takes some time, but with mine I've figured out our can run 1.6 with no issues (I tend to keep it at to stock levels because my battery sucks )

K, thank you Pax for the feedback.

Just thought I would open this to everyone on R800x, interested if people could point there OC status below.
Mine is still on 1.2ghz. with Performance and BFQ

Highest I can go is 1.6, but I keep it around stock or slightly underclocked, with SetCPU profiles that increase to 1.2 for games and internet apps. smartassv2 and sio for governor and scheduler.

I heard that underclocking can end up reducing battery life over time. Is there truth to this or is it just a myth?

1.6Ghz and Performance when the screen is on.
Stock when the screen is off.
Battery last all day, but I don't use heavily.

There's a large number of things that can adversely affect battery life, but by the time it becomes a problem, you'd most likely be on a new phone, anyway.

I tried my r800x at 1.6ghz (running Cyanogenmod 9 with stock kernal), and I was stuck in a boot loop that I had to fix through CWM Recovery. I am now running stable at 1.4ghz.

Yeah I'm on my 2nd xplay after I tried to oc to 1.6. My phone got extremely hot so I pulled the battery to let it cool. Upon booting my touch screen was non responsive. I don't ever go past 1.4 now.

[Q] Add more maximum CPU frequency options to CyanogenMod?

I'm new to the android modding process, but I'm fairly experienced in linux
I'm guessing I need a custom kernel with the underclock options I want right? The options given are 1200 and 920, I want something like 1066 for a nice middle ground to set my maximum clock speed to, as 920 is too slow for most applications to perform smoothly, but 1200 is way too much heat generated with my apparently defective toroplus

Just flash another kernel which has more CPU freq steps

If you're fairly experienced in GNU/Linux, you should be able to build and cherry pick commits for a arm kernel.
Edit: this means look at a cm10 compatible kernel source that has oc implemented.

I was worried I would have to craft and compile my own kernel like back in my gentoo days but I picked up franco kernel and it had exactly what I was looking for. While the phone can still get hot its much slower than it used to be and my battery life seems to have doubled while watching streaming video over wifi

ElementalX kernel - what's the fuss about

Hey guys
Before rooting my tablet I want to know something. Whats the fuss about this specific kernel? I literally see it everywhere ( well done to the dev )
I kinda want to overclock my nexus too 1.7ghz but Im not sure that kernel can do it? I also want amazing battery life I get around 7.5 already so by no means is it bad

I've got elementalx on my nexus 7 2013 : it works perfectly on 1.7ghz... And this kernel has some cool features like double tap to wake... For the battery, you can underclock but while you overclock just a bit, the battery life will be OK
So, flash it ! ?

I didn't know there was any kind of a fuss! I think that we are all lucky in the sense that we have multiple good choices for kernels on the Nexus devices and most others in general.
It goes without saying that any custom kernel is going to give you the ability to overclock and it just boils down to what the max MHz is that any specific device can handle. Not that I've tried it but I've seen claims of 1.9 MHz and higher (ElementalX) running fine but each device is going to be different and I personally don't see the point of overclocking that high. I've had mine at 1.7 and 1.8 MHz to run some benchmarks, try different governors (elementalX & ondemand) and get an idea about battery life at those frequencies. Did all that so I can get a comparison to what I see running 1.6 MHz which is what I use everyday, that plus the gpu is set at 450 MHz while using the ondemand governor for both cpu and gpu. I do have to say that my N7 ran very well at 1.7 and 1.8 MHz but "my" goal is to get the best combination of performance and battery life, for my use. I generally see 7- 10 hrs of screen on time which includes watching video and some gaming. Not using any third party apps to control the kernel, mostly default settings when using the aroma installer, slight undervolt for 384 MHz, I don't use DT2W or S2W,. Basically... it's just too easy to install the ElementalX kernel, not worry about having to dial it in and still see a noticeable improvement in performance and battery life. No fuss, no muss!

What are your settings?

Aroma installer;
Set each core separately = no
Max Cpu Frq = 1620Mhz
L2 cache and bus = elementalx
Undervolt = 850 min
Thermal = run hot. Mine never gets hot at 1.6 MHz and this way you don't have to worry about thermal throttling.
Max GPU = 450 MHz
Gpu governor = ondemand
i/o scheduler = deadline.
Sleep/wake settings = None
Other settings = use stock ondemand settings. enable max screen freq, enable usb fastcharge, disable magnetic screen off, disable fsysnc, all other options unchecked,
---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------
You can use the elementalx governor which does a great job and does improve battery life. In the other settings page leave "use ondemand governor' unchecked and check the box for "gboost." For gaming I personally like to leave mine set up with the ondemand governor, seems just a little bit smoother with less frame drops. You can try both to see which works better for you.

Thanks a lot in will let you know how it goes ....great help +1

[Q] CPU Temperature exceeding 80°C! How dangerous?

Hi guys,
I understand that some heat when running resource intensive applications and games is to be expected but I believe I've passed into the danger zone, so to speak. When playing XCOM my CPU temperature quickly exceeds 80°C. From my googling on the matter I have come to assume that a temperature as high as 80°C is dangerous for the hardware of the device, but I have had trouble finding upper threshold limits for the model itself.
I guess my questions are as follows:
1) How damaging would running the CPU at 80°C for an extended duration (1hr +) be?
2) What would you consider the max acceptable CPU temperature to be?
3) Assuming it is as bad as thought, what are my options to reduce the CPU temperature, short of avoiding the problem applications? Underclocking seems to be a common suggestion, but I get the feeling that XCOM, or similarly taxing applications, may just fail to run or become incredible sluggish under such constraints.
My device is rooted and running Lean Kernel v2.4 along with the w03Slim ROM. Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638116
I've done similar test runs in the Temasek kernel with the recommended configurations through Trickster Mod and there is no difference, the CPU still exceeds 80°C when playing XCOM. After a week or so of googling, searching the forums, and digging through device manuals I feel like I'm spinning my wheels.
Any insight or advice you all might have is greatly appreciated.

Solved!

Does not exceeds to 80c now?

You can try a custom kernel, i would recommend you BioShock kernel, with conservativex, max freq 2.2 ghz and undervolt 25 mV... No more over warming for me, great performance and battery life

Agree with this post, conservativex is a great governor to keep your cpu in check and not over throttle itself, also check out my thread I made here awhile back and apply the 8th post down. It really helped keep the temp down on my phone when playing graphically intensive games like dead trigger 2,riptide gp2 etc. Also if you have trickster mod or faux clock(really recommended) you can scale down your max frequency, that should really help keep it cooler and you won't see much of a performance drop (if any) while gaming or heavily using your phone.
