Overclocking Thunderbolt - Thunderbolt General

I have read that the HTC Inspire has the same CPU as the Thunderbolt, if this is correct will the 1.8ghz overclock also work for the Thunderbolt? Anyone with some light on this situation?

We'll have to wait until we get custom kernels to do this. Each phone has a different kernel IIRC so you can't slap the Inspire OC on the Thunderbolt and rock on.
I'm sure we'll hit 1.8 if not 2.0. Just be patient.
I'm happy with 1G as is... but I could always use more speed.

According to Wikipedia:
Inspire uses the MSM8255 chip..
Thunderbolt uses the MSM8655.
They are both rated for 1ghz, but it could be that the MSM8655 is superior in other ways and might have a higher/safer overhead.. We might be able to get a 100% overclock or really dark close to it.

The difference in the chips is the radio bands. 82XX is GSM and 86XX is CDMA.

with a battery life of 45 mins.!

the guy who did that 1.8Ghz kernel claims he gets 20 hours or so on a charge.

I think it would easily get 20 hours on a full charge. Interactive only uses what it needs.
I'm gonna miss ChevyNo1s kernels on the OG Droid, they were amazing

the 8255 is the same cpu in the MT4G which can clock up to 1.8

They just did overclock it to 1.8ghz
The story here
2800 on the quadrant, another article shows a screenshot of 3000 too.
Also, tester says he was getting 12 hours (8AM to 8PM) with moderate use. 45 minutes, I think not...
Enjoy!

lol I was being sarcastic. I am well aware of the fact that you can get good battery life out of an overclocked phone. I came from the evo 4G where I had "god" mode enabled and got great battery life.
P.S. God mode on the evo ment overclocking to 1.2Ghz. Most phones couldn't go that high, so you had to enable "god" mode to try.

Money. I'll take it.
Now gimme a link!!!!
Good to know the phone doesn't disappoint.

I'm an inspire owner on an overclocked kernel. On 1800 my battery with normal use (tons of Facebook and xda app, email,~50 texts, and 10-15 2-5 min phone calls) gets ~20-24 hrs on a full charge. This was my best benchmark.

I tried that as well. My Quadrant score was similar but I found browser scrolling and gameplay in Angry Birds to be noticeably choppy. Also, in Quadrant, the orbiting planet test pegs at 60fps stock where with this kernel it was jumping around all over at lower fps. Ended up flashing a different stock clocked kernel and everything was good again.

Adrynalyne said somewhere that his 1.6GHz was thermal throttling ... this might also be what is happening in the situation you're describing.

we need to find the link to the kernel that has the TB OC'd to 1.8... >.>

I don't think the 1.8 is quite ready yet, but it seems a little excessive to me.. but thats just my humble opinion

I have a kernel that is 1.8ghz capable, but it will reset after a while. So far it seems that 1.4ghz is stable. If I go any higher, eventually it resets. I have the Liquid sense rom installed. Haven't tried any others to see if the kernels are more stable at higher clocks.
Edit: with this ROM at 1.8hgz I get a 2571 on quadrant. I think that's particularly good. Too bad it resets once in a while. Any one recommend a good kernel for stable overclock?

T-Mobile G2x by LG Benchmark Score

I have ran the Quadrand Standard Benchmark on my phone several times now. The highest score I have ever seen on a phone is 2592.
My old Samsung Vibrant couldn't even do half of that. I don't rely TOO MUCH on the benchmarks but they do give you a GENERAL I dea of what your phone is capable of.
My phone is rooted but the processing power was not boosted in any way, using any program. Just the raw, everyday processing power.

@DrowsyMalice: i see you use a task killer. You should read this article : http://androidspin.com/2010/05/25/why-you-dont-need-a-task-killer-app-with-android/
I question the validity and reliability of a test such as quadrant.
why is it that scores can be so inconsistent on a single device, even if you run tests back to back to back?
I must have missed the memo somewhere explaining this, as well as how the scores are standardized between devices.

Vibrant
Ive benched higher on my customized Vibrant. It was overclocked @1.2 Ghz. I actually like my vibrant alot more with the screen and size and roms. So far I think my G2X is just kind of iffy. Cant wait til some roms come out and some stuff optimized for the tegra2. It took the vibrant almost a year to get where it is today and Alot of thanks go out to the developers, for almost tripling the original performance. The only reason I upgraded to the G2X was camera flash... Oh well.
I hit 2749 after 4 subsequent runs all in the high 2600s/low 2700s. This is after applying the pre-dexopt patch, so I recommend you guys go over and get it. Before I applied the patch I was getting high 2300s/low 2500s.

I have similar scores after the patch. I have had around 2900+ with MT4G overclocked at 1812 max (do not leave it at max - use a conservative 1612 - lol) with faux lv CM7 Kernel.
Quadrant scores are suspect however, as Linpack scores tell a different story. With MT4G above, get mid 50"s to low 60's. With G2X - I cannot break even 40.
I think it will do much better overclocked of course, and even better when we finally get a genuine duel core ROM on it - like 2.4 or 3.1.
But the fact remains that even with similar Quadrant scores, the linpack scores are not very high on the stock G2X.
So far I've gotten 2412. Completely stock, no root, nada!

Ignore the first run, then run it 10 times, dropping any with erroneous values, and average the scores. It's benchmarking, you're never going to get the same result especially on a device that's running so many active services that fire off at random. That's also why I bought Quadrant Advance since it allows running the phone in airplane mode and also breaks down the scores for better analysis.
Using that process I'm averaging about 2450 on a stock phone.

really you are going to go there?
1) Quadrant Scores really do not mean anything. all about how the end user feels about the ROM.
2) i am currently running the 2.3.3 leaked MySense ROM. And when it comes to how smooth it is.. it's lightyears beyond how i felt about Cyanogen(mod) or EViL's HD ROM. It's snappy responsive and works EXTREMELY well. However the quadrant is much lower than Cyanogen or EViL's ROM.
3) any developer or anyone with any amount of time under their belt will tell you that Quadrant Scores do not mean jack crap when it comes to the real world. Once again it's all about how the end user likes his or her ROM, and how smooth it is. The only people who rely on Quadrant scores are people who surf Android Central and Android and Me.
Have fun running your Quadrants, i'm not telling you not to.
I'm not a self proclaimed "troll" but i am a "realist". If you want Trolls to stay out of your Threads. Do not post them on the internet....
My UI is very fast and Smooth... BTW I am not running what is in my signature. I didnt start the thread to be a debate, but to see what people are actually achieving in Quadrant. I have seen you in many other threads and I respect your opinion.

Quadrantis a pretty horrible benchmark. It's notorious for being inaccurate and giving bloated scores if you wanted a more accurate reading you should use smartbench. It's probably the best out of all of them ceptit does bias a little toward Samsung phones.

I am running a version of Ice Glacier/My Sence (EXT 2) with faux123's 0.9.9 BFS LV #137 Kernal With a LagFix. The ROM is NOT Ready for Release as I still have some work to do on it and probably will need some DEV help to do it. Any DEV's willing to help with it please PM me.
P.S. Not all Glaciers will run at these speeds, they will lock up. This is my forth HTC Glacier and it is built in China. My others were Taiwon Built and NONE of them could handle this. Fortunatly this Glacier has never locked up on me and can handle anything I can throw at it.
I have reached scores around 3600ish on Iced Glacier 1.1.6, 3200ish on CM7 and Evil's MIUI. Havent tried any of the Sense roms yet. Running stock MySense now and the scores come out pretty low, but its running really fast without any lag at all. OC at 1.8ghz smartass. Confuses me But here are some pics I just took

I get 1850 from a stock (out of the box) MT4G, so my guess is that the kernal didnt install. Your scores with faux123's kernal should be much higher.

Question about quadrant scores!!!!

Hello everyone I just have a quick question... What is the trick to get quadrant scores up above 5000? I've seen many people with high scores and I've tried everything and never got out of the 4000`s, actually every time I've ran quadrant, HTC one x beats out my device.

Yep, its a number, and trying to "increase" it to make the phone "faster" is dumb. If stock has a 1.5ghz clock and scored lets say 4800, Cm10 might be +/- 200 but on the same clock it cant score much higher..... without dumb modifications to fake it.
It is not dumb at all.. You are trying to optimize the performance of your phone.. Make sure battery power saving is turned off, close all applications, usually running after a fresh reboot help. Overclocking helps.
I scored this https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/s720x720/527107_10151086780898557_1408887957_n.jpg
I was saying the number of 4800 as an example. And yes power saving lowers cpu clock I believe so that affects the score. I'm running a test on cm10 no overclock or anything to show what a true score is. of course overclocking makes it faster, thats not dumb but modifications geared to increase the actual score is silly.
Just got 4400.
These tools are used to give an estimate of how your device compares to other devices... That being said I am running Cleanrom/Cleankernel and get just about the same numbers all the time except for Linpack... I have my phone overclocked to 1800-1999 ghz and my scores are below but it depends on your hardware too... You might not be able to push some phones that high but mine is totally stable at these overclocks so I def have a keeper but my damn home button sticks so I am in the process of getting a replacement... Much love to Cleanrom though!! :good:
I also have no secrets as to make my score higher and even if I did that would be stupid!! IMO
Pretty much all developers will tell you quadrant and benchmarks do not (always) translate to real world performance.
That said: ROMs and kernels will affect scores.
CPU governors will affect scores
Overclocking your CPU will boost our score.
The current jellybean leaks is very fast - will give you scores of 5500+ if that's what our looking for.

The point is Quadrant sucks and is unreliable, I wasn't kidding when I said I got a 30,000 once....Run it a few times in a row it gets a little better as you repeat. Different biuldprop settings can also make a big difference so different ROMS could easily have vastly different scores..

Absolutely stock here. Don't get hung up over benchmark scores... they're only useful for comparing YOUR device before and after you make changes.

If you REALLY want the best score (and I recommend this when you use a benchmark the right way... like I said, to measure the result of changes), restart your phone, let everything load, then run it. A bunch of background operations can and will slow things down.
But again... they're meaningless for the most part. I could run it again now and the numbers could be wildly different.
Quadrant scores mean nothing.
Maybe u guys just don't know how to test very well or thoroughly, or don't know what to look for. Benchmarks do help. If u know how to use them. No, they don't always show real world use. They should be used to determine the phones maximum. I use them for judging how well they will play through the hardest emulator game, or most intense Android game. It isn't the only thing I go by, but when figuring out new settings or trying to push a new kernel to its absolute max, it is useful as well.

LG G Flex 2 Runs Better with Battery Saver On....

I was curious about this phone's overheating/lag problems, so I thought I'd try turning on Battery Saver. It seems to be much smoother now. Still not quite perfect, but it's a step forward; at least for me. Now if only I could do something about those dreadful orange bars...
Can anyone else corroborate with my results? I've also read online about an update - v10h - that "transforms" the phone into a lagless beast. Anyone received that update yet? Here's a link to the source: http://www.digitaltrends.com/cell-phone-reviews/lg-g-flex2-review/

Will test the battery saver but it seems weird that it's impact performance in a positive way. It should limit it not the other way around.
That's strange how'd he get that update? A lot of people have received 10e just recently which is 2 updates away from that one. I'm still on 10c.

hey, guys, don't have the phone at the moment, but had anyone tried undervolting and underclocking?
The main reason i think, it should help, is because android ran perfectly smooth on my old HTC One X, with S4 Pro, quad-core @ 1500Mhz.
Afaik, we need a custom kernel to modify voltage, but underclocking may be the option for those, who suffers from overheating.

The phone is undercloked by default to 1500Mhz.

4 of my cores are running 1555.

I think the reason it runs better with Battery Saver is because it prevents it from overheating in the first place. Even with Battery Saver limiting the CPU to power sipping levels, it is still a fairly powerful CPU, certainly enough to run the OS. I'll run an Antutu Benchmark with it on vs off.
Okay, I ran the benchmarks. The results are very surprising! The score with Battery Saver on is 10000 points higher than with it off. Both results are after a clean boot and both were done with the device cool. Although, a benchmark I did 2 days ago with no Battery Saver had a score of 43000. That may have been because I had fewer apps installed.
I did the same tests. 1st one without battery saver on, 2nd with it on. I got similar results, but not as severe. Both were on a fresh boot. However the 2nd test was shortly after the first, so it might have been a little warm.
Test one :
Test two:
I guess we need to figure out what the battery saver is doing and make a permanent tweak.

it's limiting the top frequency of the processor, and maybe sets the governor to conservative, i guess.
You can turn it on, and check cpu frequency in sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
(path may vary, it's from my Moto X, but i think, they're common)
Then turn it off, to see, if it changes.
I found something else interesting. I looked into the CPU info in Antutu, and, with Battery Saver off, the CPU max frequency was at 1.5ghz, but with BS on, it was 1.9ghz

That's interesting. I'm wondering if the benchmarks were updated to work with our processor.

BS seems to have no effect on my phone.
Why are your cold scores so low?
I've been running my G flex 2 with two A57 cores disabled. In typically averaging about 6 hours of screen on time. Just general use; YouTube, Facebook, looking up LG G4 reviews, texting, other social networking apps. Just wanted to say disabling cores has really worked out for me so far... I also accidentally deleted LGs stock UI, so I've been using nova

How did you disable the cores? Is there custom kernel for this phone?

Benchmarks

Since nobody have posted nothing about benchmarks on this awesome phone, here it is.

Here is a geekbench3 score on mine...
Last picture didn't post... let's try this again with another geekbench3 result I just got.

First time I ran this the day I got the phone I got about 4800 on geekbench3.
Since then, rooted and debloated a little at a time... it just keeps getting faster and smoother.
I got this score running the Noble Alpha kernel tonight, after removing more bloat.
Benchmarks in and of themselves do not prove much. But when comparing same device performance when tweaking, I do believe they are a good indication of performance loss or gains.
I can say... I'm impressed with the note 5.

http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/141591 my battery test result. Running darthstalker rom v3 and skyhigh kernel 2.1
That's what I've gotten. And I've consistently gotten just over 70k, I am LOVING this phone
So is this good? How well does pcmark score on your device?
So i updated antutu to the latest beta 1 version 6..and here s the tally. Also ran a bunch of other tests...
Using darthstalker v4 with xposed running in the bakground, skyhigh 2.1 kernel with a57 locked to 2.4 and a general undervolt of -87.5mv accross the board (-100mv actually on the a53 cores) and 852mhz gpu clock (so basically i m kinda maxed out ) ) everything runs perfectly smooth and stable and my main goal with all.the tweaking actually is to know that i ll be golden till the note 7 comes out LOL (at least).
My highest scores

Wait for the official version to fix this bug
Antutu
I don't get why mine is so slow... I get the same general AnTuTu scores across stock, arter97, and now Skyhigh. It's the same with every benchmark, slower than it should be. =/
One thing I noticed... Synapse always shows Core 2 at -1C... I wonder if I have a faulty chip?

Thermal throttling my friend. Try leaving the phone in a cool place for 10 minutes and then running another benchmark. Your scores should be around 69-70 or above, normally.

That's some serious heat this chip produces. My 4940MX runs about as hot as the Exynos does lol
I'm sitting in a room where it's like 18C at the moment but I suppose I could stick it in the fridge.
