Overclocking Thunderbolt

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.

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.

Quad standard: ~2400
Quad advansed: ~2650

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.

rooted s-off
stock rom and kernel
Quadrant: 2724
smartbench 2011: productivity:2970
Games:2516
neocore:80.1FPS
nenmark:57.4FPS

Highest score so far was 2640 on quadrant.

I got 2600+ ...rooted , stock rom.

[BENCHMARK ] Finding the ULTIMATE gaming experience.

Hi. I am looking for the BEST gaming experience on our TF700, but doesn't matter how many ROMs I,ve tested I can't get satisfied.
Please post your results here:​
Plan:
1. ROM name.
2. KERNEL name.
3. CPU / GPU settings.
4. Benchmark name and results. (Please use Quadrant, but others are OK too.)
5. MODs, tricks, whatever you want to add.
6. Your Gaming experience, for example: Gangstar Vegas is playable but a bit laggy.
__________________________________________
So, I'm gonna start:
1. CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.7.0
2. JB 4.2.1 ★ Hundsbuah ★ 10.6.1.14.8 ★ v3.2.0
3. CPU: All 4 cores set to: 1850Mhz GPU: 775Mhz
4. Quadrant:

5. No MODS, No DATA2sd, 32gb version. I was using Hundsbuah program to set CPU / GPU and may have enabled gaming mode. Gaming mode slows CPU down when it gets to hot. That may have affected the score. I was running this benchmark 3 times, and once I got something like 5009 overall? Much lower, but it was generally I/O.
6. Gangstar Vegas (Gangstar 4) playable, bit laggy, but not all the time, just time to time. 5 seconds normally, 2 seconds of Lag, and so on.
GTA Vice City:
Bit Laggy on maximum settings, quite good on lower settings.
GTA III: Simmilar to Vice City, a bit better.

Agree, but this is noit the point. I know we aren't getting everything from this device. I saw it on my HTC Sensation. How much OS matters. So Please post your scores. Let's find the best solution.

You've got some serious performance issues there. With Hunds OC to 1700 on 4 cores and gpu at 600 I get 6800+ on quadrant.
You've done something wrong somewhere. Have you got fsync disabled?

Sdbags is tottally right, i just recently went over to hunds with f sync disbled,
i havent adjusted any clock speeds myself and i tend to get a quadrant score of around 6500,
as for your over clocking and gaming, im not 100% sure if thats the best thing to do due to the heat it can cause and such,
i could be tottally wrong with my last line but i am being cautious and reading up a fair bit before i crank everything up,
havent found a definitive answer on that yet unfortunately.

You are right. With that high OC he will most likely achieve the opposite of what he actually wants to.

Not the OC is the problem, but the temperature control. But you do have a good point. I'll try getting lower. Thanks guys

[Q] (req) gpu oc N5

Can any dev out there add GPU oc too their kernel ? I have a nexus 7 (2013) with GPU running at 600mhz
I was wondering if it'd be possible at all too do the same on the nexus 5. Considering its been done on the xperia z1 which uses the same GPU.
Xperia kernel thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660679
Would it be possible or difficult? I know that kernel is only compatible with CM' and I wouldn't mind if that was a requirement for it too work on the N5 but id prefer it was implemented on a kernel that would work with slimkat -specifically- slimkat 4.4.2 v3.2 stable
Any response or help on this subject would be greatly appreciated

its possible, but its pointless. you get no gain from it, except faster battery loss. and thats not really any gain. plus we are limited to 60 fps, no matter what. you can disable the fps limit, but you will get screen tearing from it.
to unlock the fps limit..
debug.egl.swapinterval=0
copy/paste this line into /system/build.prop/then reboot for it to take affect.

as i said, you will not see any gain from it. ive already done some testing with it. if there was any gain from kit, it would of been done with trinity kernel in december. but, there wasnt any gain, so it was left behind.
---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------
the gpu on the nexus 5 actually scales, between 200mhz and 450mhz. so its not always using 450mhz, only when needed. you see more gain from setting the min and max gpu speed to 450mhz than you see from overclocking the gpu.

Thanks for the info , I appreciate it ! I was disappointed trinity didn't have it , I was very fond of that kernel and GPU oc on my galaxy nexus

I'll play around with that kernel for a while and exp with the min and max frequencies too find what works best for me, and I'll probably go back to setting CPU freq @ 2.5ghz max 1.5ghz min , I know I have a problem and a real need for speed
Another question, would I have too manually edit the GPU speed on uberkernel using root explorer? I didn't see Amy config options GPU related on trickster mod, maybe I should use kernel tuner instead ?

I believe stock clock is 533 on uber kernel.

Hi,
There are the GPU settings in Trickster Mod (frequency and governor). You need to update the app with the last beta version since they added support for the Adreno 330. It's under the specific tab.
And yes 533 Mhz is the default GPU clock in this kernel, but you can underclock to the stock GPU freq (450 Mhz) with Trickster Mod.

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.

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.
