Overclocking the Dream Saphire and new hybrids of mytouch - General Topics

How can i overclock my D/s on cyanogenmod 's 5.0.8 release ?
I have tried the OC-UV releases and dumfuqs flash file but my unit is not booting up.
This issue has really got me at odds .
I am able to successfully use the overclocking widget to push to 576 however I would like to atleast get to 580 or 617 or even 710 (which i think is doable without any serious issues)
Kind Regards

you know we have a whole forum for questions like this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=836
but back on topic
official 2.3.3 is nowhere near custom roms when it comes to performance. i suggest you flash miks 6.5.6 (good performance) and dont flash 18.1 (huge battery drain).
miks 6.5.6 comes with v18 which afaik allows overclocking

LG Optimus Me (P350) Overclock

Hello,
i have Optimus Me and all i want is to overclock it a bit, without Android upgrade or changeing the mode. I have this kernel "kernel-pecan-drap-oc-0.1-rc3.zip" downloaded and i put custom recovery on the phone.
So i dont want anything to be changed on the phone, just ability to overclock, so is this it, just kernel flash?
Thank You XDA
Phone Info:
-------------------
Model: LG-P350
Product: Pecan
Android: 2.2.2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: FRG83
Software Version: V10a
Well I'm not a developer but if you want to run the stock OS over clocked you can.
first you have to root your phone using gingerbreak using that link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
then install Custom Recovery AmonRA, follow instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080911
OR try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421198
after that is finished you have to install your kernel I think you already have it but here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259908
and lastly on your phone you install an app called set cpu link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
Please read everything carefully as you go along...also... not all CPU's overclock to the maximum available it may freeze if you do... so gradually test your range till you find a stable overclock amount...
Eg: mine is stable at 748Mhz... others get 787Mhz or even higher to 825Mhz
I'm very new to this as well so I can't explain why CPU's have different stabilities.... maybe some one more knowledgeable can help...
good luck and have fun... eventually i recommend you use a custom rom...its alot better.. but your choice for now can be used as well...
Not all CPUs can reach max speed, because there's always small variance in the production, and that small variance causes the phone to be unstable at high clock speeds.
I, for example, can't overclock my Wildfire to 768, because it's just hangs, but other users are running at that clock speed just fine.
yea i figured that much from reading a few posts... that kinda sucks tho...lol.. jus gotta be lucky when gettin your fones...

[Q] Question about overclocking~ (Note 2 N7100)

Hey xda~ :laugh: noobynoob here and I got a few questions about overclocking, here we go:
1. Is it safe?
Just bought a Note 2 N7100 and got it in a bootloop [scared me senseless, thank god i fixed it]
2. Kernels?
Um what are kernels and what do they differ?
3.Are all kernels for overclocking compatible for my device/rom?:fingers-crossed:
Note 2 N7100 with Dr.Ketan's Custom Rom v10.0 android version 4.4.2 (I currently have my eyes on this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001838)
4.What kernel do you guys recommend (in case this one isnt compatible or if you just know a better one):victory:
I'm open to suggestions, I just want whats best for my phone
5.If something goes wrong flashing the kernel is there a chance I get bricked/stuck in a bootloop?
already messed up once when trying to flash my custom rom, im afraid itll happen again
ThanQ :laugh:

The kernel, in the simplest terms, is the piece of software in the operating system that tells the OS how to use the hardware.
Custom kernels typically take the stock kernel and modify the settings, and/or add features and setting parameters (often ported from other custom kernels).

I don't know. It's your responsibility to make sure it's compatible. I know Samsung makes many different versions of their Notes and Galaxy XS models (for different carriers, different regions of the world, etc), so a kernel for one version of the Note 2 might not work with your Note 2.
Further, just like it is with computer processors, not all are created equal. After manufacturing, processors are tested sorted into "bins" (literally) according to how well they work. Typically processors are all underclocked below their potential to some degree. That way they're not maxed out and overheating won't be a problem. Since they're underclocked, that means they can be overclocked to their true potential, but how far is a roll of the dice. One guy's Note 2 might have a processor from a higher bin and stably overclockable to 1.9GHz. Or you might have gotten one from a lower bin, and all you can OC it to is 1.7GHz. OC'ing too far will cause glitches and crashes.

I can't help you with that. It's best that you just read up on the kernel(s) you want to try, and by "read", I mean start from the first post, and read every post until you've read them all. That way you know about possible problems and how to sort them out if you encounter them.
5.If something goes wrong flashing the kernel is there a chance I get bricked/stuck in a bootloop?

If you have a custom ROM, that means you have a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc). From within the recovery you can do what's called a nandroid backup. It probably won't be labeled as "nandroid" (even though that's what we call it), but just a backup. This creates an "image" of your phone as it is when you run the backup. Store it on your SD card or PC (or both). If something goes wrong, you should still be able to reboot into recovery and restore your backup. Or, if you have a copy of your current kernel (custom ROMs sometimes have their own kernels, and might be available to download), you can just reflash the old kernel in recovery.
ThanQ
hmmm I guess ill need to read up more, I read on the kernels page something about needing a touchwiz based rom? what does that mean and how do I tell if my rom is tocuh based? As for that backup idea, that seems pretty useful, im gonna do that right now

TouchWiz is what Samsung calls its interfaces.

Overclocking Stock ROM/Kernel

Hello everyone, this is my first topic on XDA after lurking for a while!
Anyways, today my topic is going to be concerning an Android Mini Tablet called the PlayMG. It's a WiFi tablet by a startup that's now gone bankrupt. The actual name of the device (development-wise) was the ACTScom A930. It was supposed to be a small 4 inch tablet like an iPod Touch with Android. You can find various info by googleing the name.
The specs go as stated:
ARM TCC8920 @ 960 MHz
1 GB RAM
4 GB DDR3 Storage
Android 4.0.4 ICS
Geekbench test:
http : //browser.primatelabs . com/geekbench3/356000
(sorry, I'm new so I can't post links until 10 posts)
The device was pretty cheap (around 90 dollars) and since then I've rooted it. I had to use SafeRoot because there is virtually no support anywhere for this device. As you can tell from the specs above, the device is fairly weak. My goal is to overclock the device to run at around 1.10-1.25 Ghz, however I'm stuck on the stock ROM and kernel. And as you can probably guess, there is no one to develop and overclockable Kernel for it. I have a few questions that I would like answered:
I was wondering are there any methods to overclock the stock kernel? Is that pretty much impossible?
Are there any ICS (or any) kernels that might work on this device?
Could I build the Kernel myself?
^Questions regarding this:
-Since the company went bankrupt, I can't really obtain a stock kernel, Could I somehow extract it from the device itself?
-If I were able to get the kernel, where can I go on XDA to guide me to building an overclockable kernel?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to overclock this device? I'm accepting all ideas, good or bad!
Thank you everyone in advance. All responses/knowledge is welcome!
Im also looking forward to this... Have a samsung galaxy star pro... Have compiled stock kernel from source successfully... It works... Nw i need to add oc nd everythung... How shuld i do it??? It is a spreadtrum device...
Anyone?

Question - Wich LineageOS based ROM is Overclockable ?

Hi everybody.
I have testing some LineageOS based ROMs lately in my P5110 and P3110 and found no overclock option so far ?
Considering the low hardware profile in our tabs and the actual real overlclock, better user experience and battery tunning / real gain we get with some CyanogenMods 6.0.1, I see no point using, until now, the new LineageOS based ROMs!?
So I ask: Is there any known LineageOS ROM or compatible kernel with overclock potential that allows to improve the user experience as the "old" CM 6.0.1 does ?
Thanks

no
No luck here as well mate, I've been forced to stick with CM13 since OC and themes are a must for me
Best user experience, for me, is with CM 6.0.1 from "[ROM][P31xx][P51xx][MM][6.0.1][Linaro][SaberMod] CyanogenMod 13" (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686613) and "[ KERNEL - AOSP] Dhollmen Espresso" from (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176563&page=138).
Can run everything I need with good speed and make tweaks to allow battery savings even possible!
Hello everybody.
I have read previous answers, thanks.
Considering the time since the original question, I would ask again:
1- if there is no option so far to add an overclocked kernel to our tabs ?
2- I am not a developer, but maybe I could get the info needed to build my own overclocked kernel and share it with the forum, where to start from ? I think these would really be faster for those already with the proper skills to do it! I mean: do you developers really use your tabs without overclock nowadays ?
Thanks again.

1-There is still no overclock available.
2-I am not a developer (yet) but I think the tab is fast enough as it is (running Slim7 if you want to know) and I don't think overclock is necessary. The place to start for building a kernel is google. I think I saw a guide in the past.
Also, keep in mind that devs make things because they want to and get no reward for that. So don't ask or press them to make anything. If you create your own kernel it will be greatly appreciated, but I think you wouldn't like people constantly asking you for something (and yes, overclock has been asked for a lot of times in the past).
