[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.

Hows the battery life with this governor?

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.

[Q] [POLL-TYPE]Poll about overclock

Hey everyone,
Was just wondering, what is your Maximum overclock on your Note II. At what voltage?

1.8GHz for daily usage at 1250mv

[email protected]
Latest antutu 22570.

Don't actually overclock, don't really need it so far

Overclocking Benefits
Wow, 1.86 GHz. Great. Nice low voltage too!
I run at 1.92 GHz, 1350 mV (Sometimes I can get 1325 mV, but I overclocked the GPU. It seems if the GPU is faster the processor needs more voltage?)
Latest Antutu Score: 25545, beating the stock S IV

Don't you undervolt all CPU clocks from 200Mhz to 1900Mhz?

Yep! All clocks are undervolted, each step decrease 25 mV from previous. I found this to give best benchmark and stability!
If you know of any clocks I can decrease further, please share.
Also, does anybody know if 2000 MHz is possible? I heard overclocking should be between 10-20% increase otherwise the CPU could malfunction (device freeze, SOD, ect) Now, 1600 MHz + 20% = 1920 MHz so I don't think any higher is possible.... But anything is possible on XDA/Android!

Tried your setting hitman but best antutu I could get was 23049.

Ok. What ROM are you using? I'm running CM 10.2
Also, governor to Pegasusq. I customised that to give best performance I can get.
And, what kernel are you using? I'm using Devil Kernel 0.35 or something (the latest devil kernel)
Use TricksterMod to overlook GPU to 800 MHz, you'll need extra volts.
Download all in one toolbox from Play, or Clean Master. Run this before running Antutu
Using TricksterMod, make sure CPU temp is below 30 Degrees Celsius.

Safest undervolt

Hey was wondering if anyone knows off by hand the lowest we can undervolt our phones @ stock freq or what our stock voltages are? I undervolted mine recently and got amazing results but stability seems to vary, using overclock freqs @ 1.89 running @ 1.087 mv 1.83 @ 1.05mv 1.78 @ 1.0375 1.7 @ 1.025 mv I seem to be fully stable pulling 28905 scores on anutu, my friends s4 isn't even this fast was very impressed phones not even hot at all, but I really want to try to tweak the lower freq to help with battery life/temp

solution to the battery drain problem
Overclocking the CPU frequency will lead to battery drain as u know it yourself....don't download any of the battery savers as they are useless .....try Greenify....bcoz it works....and it just is too awesome.....

Undervolted and got these results with anutu, impressive, looks like undervolting gets good results

Stock Speeds 1.7ghz -> 1.050
Barely over Stock 1.78ghz -> 1.075
Mild overclock 1.836ghz -> 1.0875
Higher overclock 1.89ghz -> 1.100 (highest anutu score)
Pushing it 1.944 ghz -> 1.250 (yielded a score the same as 1.89ghz)

what kernel were you using here and ROM? thanks

Cn u please tell me what kernal u are using

[Q] how much can you overclock the cpu?

I noticed that I can only overclock the CPU from 1.9 GHZ to 2.1 GHZ with skyhigh kernel. Is there anyway to get it higher?

Not with my kernels.
99% of devices won't be stable above that and in any case will not provide any great benefit.
I did have GPU higher but is really a waste and with CPU, due to higher temps invoking thermal throttle, leading to decrease in overall benchmark/performance.
Through my extensive testing, having anything higher than my current max CPU and GPU frequency = PLACEBO
Edit: Maybe things might change compiling with Lollipop source (once released), but unlikely. Obviously I will test though

ok thank you. What about the GPU, any benefits for overclocking it?

Maybe when opening the case and adding some cooling mod to CPU/GPU, the overclocking will do better.

is overclocking safe????

i know overclocking is unsafe anyways but still due to performance lags in the era of 2017 i like to keep my frequecy to 2GHz and Voltage to 1425mV so will it be safe as my primary device is away for repair can i use this settings for my daily drivery??????

2Ghz is very high you can try 1800 or 1900 Ghz maximum is preety safe and voltage to negative 20mV.
You will get good battery life with good performance but it will still consume more battery life then stock kernel 1600Ghz.

Okk i managed to under volt the by 30mV and at 2Ghz are snappy I will keep and eye on things and also after 2 days I will switch to 1.92Ghz
Edit:i just saw u typed 1900ghz can I overclock that high??
