LG G2x Overclocked to 1.5 Ghz

I saw this video and wanted to show everyone. I do not have information about this or the user. I simply saw the video that is all. For people looking for more info sorry but you will have to do you own research as I don't have it. Best thing is to ask him on Youtube I guess.
As for me I really hope we can get a stable 1.2 Overclock to match the Sensation and SGSII at least to numbers wise. (Yes I know their customs processors may run better.) We is the video....

Check the Dev forum. Theres at least two kernels out now that can do 1.4-1.5 Ghz pretty stable.

So badass that we're waiting for a 1.7 oc like the Viewsonic Gtab because we know it won't fry

Thats my video yo... Pretty good benchmarks huh...

mmhmm i use faux's kernal, 1.5ghz, gotten as high as 4900 quadrant scores, phone doesnt get much warmer than my old oc'd touch pro, really stable, phone ran fine all day

g2x already outperforms the 1.7 viewsonic oc with the 1.5

Your nenamark is a bit low, @ 1.5 should be getting 70+ fps

Ok we root our Infuse 4g now what?

I'm making this topic to help guys who switch from iPhone and get the Infuse 4g, Okay easily they can follow the routing process, after that the big question is now what?
Please if anyone have suggestion or any Apps that you think will make new rooters enjoy the infuse 4g do post.
My 1st suggestion is SetCpu app,
This can adjust your processors speed and even make it run faster from 1.2ghz to 1.4ghz+, they called this overclocking.

First app after root should be Titanium Backup, donate version.

yea, thats right, then its easy restore.

Noob question here. I'm rooted and downloaded setcpu. How do I move the cursor past the 1.2 mark?

need a different cpu driver. that means either a kernel module or an overclock kernel. unfortunately there is basically no kernel dev going on for thins phone that i know of and overclock is not yet an option. it will be soon but dont expect much. many hummingbird chips cant reach speeds any faster than 1.3ghz, though theinfuse may have a cpu that tests beter than the galaxy s to support the higher stock clock speed. a few hummingbirds can go to 1.6ghz so if you get lucky it can be very very fast. just luck of the draw though. i an more interested in a gingerbread port however. the market and browser and overall feeling of the phone on 2.3.3 is more significant than overclocking and safer as well.

the processor in the infuse is not the same generation as what you would find in something like the captivate. like the different generations of the snapdragon, performance and specifications are pretty much completely different. ill expect some high cpu values to come when we get a new kernel.

Overclocking phones is stupid. It does little more than increase heat, decrease battery, and inflate benchmarks.

the build.prop shows the same part number. it is the same generation. the snapdragon went through a die shrink (65nm-45nm) and got a new graphics processor. not exactly a good comparison. qc may be better now but that doesnt mean you should expect any more than 1.4 ghz and a few people might be stuck with no overclock at all. really if you want a faster phone why buy what is more or less a midrange processor? infact it is soo hard to find a <1ghz chip now that there isnt really a mid range this year only single core and dual core. there is the tegra2 and the new orion chips and will soon be dual core snapdragons. believe me if this is not fast enough you really want to look at a different platform. i got this phone because i realize clock speed is not as important as good software and because the sgs was so good i thought a bigger screen, more ram, and mhl could only be a good thing.

+100 for this comment.
EVERY overclocked ROM in every phone's thread claims it's 2x faster than any other phone. haha... if every phone is faster than every other phone, what's the point?
I think overclocking is just done for those who need that little extra control in their life that they may be lacking elsewhere, hehe

Exactly... why would You want to overclock a phone, to tell Your friends its overclocked?

...then later ROM Manager, market enabler and ...........tune-in radio ;-)

hell yeah. its impressive. ive never broken anything by overclocking anything. theres been protection built into them for years. its not like battery is really effected, its a scaling processor, its only at the overclocked speed when you need it. as far as im concerned, its free performance, and i plan to use it when the infuse gets some overclockyness.

They may hold true for the Captivate or even the Infuse but it definitely was not the case with the Inspire. A mild bump from 1.0 to 1.2ghz made a very substantial difference in smoothness and feel and did very little to heat and battery.

I find screenshot it so useful. For rooters only

Please keep the suggestions coming. I am new to Android from the iphone and a newbie to rooting. Knew my way around jailbreaking and what i needed and wanted once that was accomplished, but to tell the truth alot of that comes standard with android so looking to broaden my horizons even more.

I noticed an appreciable difference with my Epic when I overclocked from 1.0ghz to 1.2ghz. Games that normally used to lag, stopped lagging completely. Games load faster. The system performance is much smoother as well.

Overclock my sk4g plz!!

The only thing sk4g is missing, imho, is an overclocked cpu. Atleast 1400 mhz plz

1400mhz would fry your cpu, not to mention give you about 15 min of battery life. Why in the world do you need more than the 1ghz that is stock? it's plenty fast?

i have the G2 as well, and yeah, it seems to be able to handle higher speeds.... not sure if that is an HTC vs. Samsung thing. i used to have the Epic 4g, and it was difficult to get mine above 1.2 ghz, so i figure the SK might have trouble as well. i wouldn't mind seeing 1.2, but yeah, the device is pretty fast at stock

That's funny cuz the GPU in the hummingbird still blows away HTC's dual cores in terms of graphics performance, maybe you should read up on the processors before you go making claims like that. No you can't overclock it to twice what it is stock, but you don't need to because it was built right, HTC is stuck on outdated omap chips with craptastic adreno gpus that can barely render anything

Yes you get 5 min of battery life and your cores will fry in a few months from being pushed too hard, give yourself a pat on the back. There are no apps built for a phone yet that would take advantage of that kind of power, maybe in 2 years but by that time you will be busy frying a quadcore

That is true, htc phones are known to have higher overclocks but it really depends on the individual chip. The same phone owned by 2 different people can usually reach different speeds like one can only do 200mhz OC and another 800. the g2 was a 1ghz chip that was underclocked to 800mhz, the samsung is not and from what I've seen/friends have owned I think samsung has blown HTC away in the past year with their chips and performance, build quality not so much.
Im seeing more and more threads asking for stuff but it seems like noone wants to get their hands dirty actually dev'ing and it's obnoxious. If someone does make an OCc'able kernel then they are going to have to deal with everyone pissing and moaning when they fry their phones or can't go as high as they want and there really is no point when the phone is fast as **** stock

overclocking i believe is pointless because your phone shouldnt go that fast and it ruins the internals and compromises battery. yes in the past years samsung has blown away htc in the chip section but i fell htc are more overclock capable

We have 1GHz stock , once we get a ocable kernel 1.2GHz will be fine no more than that we don't wanna push the cpu to fry now .

Benchmarks mean nothing. If you wanted to make a rom that scored a quadrillion on benchmarks you could, doesn't mean diddly squat in real life use. Both the sensation and g2x are very fast and comparable phones. That should be posted at the top of both forums.

Which would make it faster than the GSII? Nope, not going to happen. The Tegra II isn't that powerful. Even if it was only recognizing one core which it isn't, unless you know of something I don't. The score wouldn't double if the other core kicked in. That is not how dual core processors work. Just because only one core is running, doesn't mean its running at half the speed. Besides, who really gives a **** what is faster at benchmarks anyway. There two completely different phones that shouldn't even be compared. Ones pushing a **** load more pixels and the other is running on a stock ROM.

I'm sorry but who f'n gives a crap if some stupid benchmark scores the g2x a few points lower!!
G2x>sensation all day long

I know I was being sarcastic. lmao
There is another thread on this "Nenamark2" which goes into more detail. They said it wasn't utilizing the second core. Why did the Xoom score high? Maybe because the issue is related to our kernel/hardware.
The Tegra 2 is pretty powerful. The power, though, is shown more through its GPU then through the CPU (which still keeps up with the SGS2).

hopefully tmobile does get the exynos version

Yea true, but dude 1ghz and 1.5 ghz is only a little noticeably different, what I mean is g2x is sick quick how much faster can we get? lol ya know, still got some mean specs tho and I'm guessing cuz of the overseas version everything should be pretty easy to port over

To me we have reached the zenith of specs in the android world (albeit that will be for a short period of time). Will it have active development is the real issue to me. This phone has proven you can have killer specs yet little interest from the developer community. I wasn't here in the beginning but I have a feeling all the problems the first batch of this phone had scared everyone away and scared anyone wanting to get it away from doing so.

The Exynos is the cpu. The speed of data is controlled by the baseband. You'll have to wait and see what baseband chip they use in it.

This is what I read. Probably easier to just swap in a different processor than to create a compatibility between Exynos and a new baseband chip.

There are no baseband chips that support 42Mbps. The fastest one that I know of is the Qualcomm baseband used in the G2X which support 21Mbps.

Just what I was thinking. It's tempting to get the phone, but Prime will come soon after.

Unfortunately, if T-Mobile is really pushing the 42mbps feature on this phone, it'll be using some variant of the Qualcomm chip, either 1.2 ghz or 1.5 ghz dual-core (some folks at the Galaxy S4G forums allegedly was informed by a rep that it will be sporting a 1.5ghz chip from Qualcomm).
If it is indeed a Qualcomm chip, I strongly suggest you guys pass, cause I know I will. If I'm not mistaken, all these phone chips are all-in-one, meaning that the GPU on the T-Mobile variant will sport some form of Adreno, maybe the 220 as found in the Touchpad?
What made the european version of the GS2 a beast was the custom drivers written by Samsung for the Exynos and its GPU. GPU-acceleration! If they swap over to Qualcomm, I'm not holding my breath for Samsung to spend money writing a custom GPU driver to push for GPU acceleration under the Qualcomm framework. If anything, to compensate for the lack of GPU acceleration, they're likely to just chuck a 1.5 ghz Qualcomm chip in there (which lends some credit to what the other guys are saying at the Galaxy S4G forum).
Just some of my thoughts. It's looking like the T-Mobile variant of the GS2 might be the weakest of the lot this time around.
Exynos > Snapdragon any day, week, year.
P.S. I've also played with the European version of the GS2 for a couple of months and boy is that phone awesome.

I really hope if it is a Qualcomm crap CPU that the sales are extremely poor. Sadly though the general public knows squat and it will most likely still sell well with the galaxy name attached to it, even though it really doesn't deserve that title.

This is why T-Mobile is struggling and the reason only AT&T was willing to buy them. Management is pathetic.
