I have a Droid X, a Droid Charge and my brother has an incredible 2. We both have chainfire installed and for some reason verysingle game plays many times smoother on the htc with the adreno 205 than on my charge with the sgx 540? any reason for that? even the games that are coded for tegra devices run on his so much smoother. i tried a game called falling fred, lags some on my charge, runs super smooth on the inc2, i have a galaxy tab 10.1 also runs super realy nice on that, and on my droid x it runs about the same as the charge. there is nothing wrong with my charge because ive played with 3 or 4 of them and they are all the same way. Any solutions?
Sound like you need some voodoo lagfix in your life lol... Are you running any custom roms or have custom kernals installed

I agree with cold... Go for some lagfix
Charged up post!
i have voodoo lagfix courtesy of peanutbutta jelly time i really need a way to fix it
The SGX540 in these Samsung devices are underclocked severely. They are more capable but they can stand quite a bit of overclocking. Some devices come with the same gpu clocked at 385Mhz instead of 200Mhz.
The lag fix is ok but once we get a CM7 build it will look sloooooow. Been there done that.

I think I would rather see CM7 implementation if for no other reason than their dedication to constant updates. And they are all pretty much the same mtd based thing. OMGB shouldn't be any faster than CM7 and it lacks features.
Just my experience from the fascinate. Omgb and omfgb *seemed* smoother, not that cm7 was slow. And they pump out updates for their roms pretty regularly. If you don't think they're dedicated, then you don't know t3hh4xx0r.

It's not that I think they aren't dedicated, but the system in place for CM7 updates is far more structured and doesn't depend on one or two peoples' dedication.

Yeah, I could never overclock my Fascinate much before MTD. I was pulling 3000 quadrant scores at 1.4Ghz with a 233Mhz GPU clock speed i believe on the Glitch ML kernel and it actually run a good 8-10 hours that way to boot.
i refuse to have a phone that runs at less than its capabitlities. we need that gpu overclock! any devs can port it?

Then do something about it yourself. Glitch is an aosp kernel so porting isn't really an option until we have aosp roms to make use of it so that's quite a ways away. A gpu overclock may be possible on tw but I haven't ever heard of it being done and the devs capable of working on it probably have enough on their plate as it is. But who knows, maybe someone will pick it up I guess we'll see.

Tbolt - VirusRom_rc1b2-drod1.8ghz
Das bamf with the newest kernel 1228 on CPU perfect light OC.
Tbolt seems even more snappy, battery seems to be better also with smartass CPU setting.

Does anybody know what it takes to overclock the GPU in the Droid Charge? I generally think that CPU overclocking is pointless, but GPU overclock should help terrain data in Google Earth. I have lagfix installed and verified working.
I am currently on the underclocked PBJT kernel. I assume I would have to migrate to the overclocked PBJT kernel, but I don't know of a way to control GPU clock from there. Ideas?
After installing the OC PBJ kernel, download and install an app called Voltage Control.

There's a difference between the CPU and GPU. Voltage control only changes the CPU clockspeed. You would have to ask imnuts if it's possible to oc the GPU.

No. If you see the FPS waver, then it is not at its FPS cap, therefore it would be pointless to raise the cap.

RAM makes everything better and it's the reason why certain apps seem to be quite slow(n64oid, gun brothers, etc). If those ****heads over at Samsung would've added more RAM this phone wouldn't have any problems, sure a better processor and a notification LED would have been nice but the only thing actually needed was the RAM.

The requirement for more Cowbell aside, does anybody if this is possible? The Galaxy Nexus will have the same GPU but clocked at 384 MHz vs 200 MHz on the Droid Charge.
I am curious if they have somehow reduced the process size or added extra cooling capacity, because that is huge difference.
In any case, it makes me think that GPU in the Charge could use a bump up without causing issues.

Holy dead thread batman! At any rate we can't increase GPU clockspeed because it's probably controlled at a hardware level, rather than variable by kernel.

I do believe the glitch kernel on the fascinate does include gpu overclocking. No idea if that could ever be implemented on the charge. If it could it would probably have to be an MTD based kernel like glitch that is currently for MUIU and Cyanogen roms.

All of my phone gpus have clockspeed dials on them.
And not to be even more of a smartass but the kernel is in fact the exact piece of software that interacts with the hardware so you kind of contradicted yourself.
It has been done with glitch kernel. Haven't seen any tw kernels that support it.

I meant that we don't have anything in the kernel that can adjust the clockspeed. I don't really know about any other phones since this is my first smartphone. I just say what I feel is correct. And yes, we may eventually be able to control it through an AOSP kernel, but we don't have that right now, so I don't think it's relevant information.

I came from the Fascinate and the Glitch Kernel with CM7 was really rocking. If we ever get GPU overclocking it would very likely come with the same combo or a Glitch CM9 combo either of which is a long way off.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like what we would need for this to work is a working ASOP kernel, thus we would need an official Gingerbread OTA update first (maybe not 100% necessary, but it should be easier?) in order to base the kernel on?
Even with a working ASOP kernel, I assume that it would have to be specially modded to allow GPU control.
Not that I expect CM7 or CM9, I'm pretty happy with the latest leak, but it seems that CM7 or CM9 would more or less be a requirement for this to work? I hear that MIUI is not in development for the Charge because the lack of LTE in China.
Keep in mind that the Charge is my first smartphone so I'm sort of a nube.

All ROMS and Kernel work differently on every phone ... some people have problems running Trinity and some people have problems running Ma1trix(I hope i spelt it correctly) anyways i don't mean to offend any of the devs but it depends on phone to phone
My Nexus runs smoothly with Nscollab .41 with TrinityEUV kernel (0.88 GHz) =]
Also Bugless Pete's GPA17 with the stock kernel which is btw Pete's own =]
and finally MIUI with TrinityUV android flavored kernel (1.0 Ghz) =]
to find out which one works best on your device you have to install and check them yourself
Hope i helped
There are no "problems" with Matr1x.
You just need to tweak the voltages and find something that works for you....
As a fresh NS user, I wanted something similar to stock + added notification bar toggle + kernel with BLN & Voodoo sound. Found this combo with TSM Pool party 1.3 ROM, which is based on Pete's work and his kernel. Works excellent:]
CM7 RC1 + T144 or TEUV if I feel like saving battery

at the risk of offending you, I would not recommend setting your phone to 2ghz..I can assure you nothing great in the long term is going to happen. As for kernels give LordClockan and TalonAce a glance, I'm not 100% sure if they are 2ghz kernels but its a good jumping off point
2ghz will fry your CPU. Maybe not initially buy your phone will definitely fail prematurely. The only reasons other people do it is because they can and they probably have a newer phone for their daily. Even just overclocking a little bit can have a negative impact but not as drastic. If you insist on overclocking I wouldnt exceed 1.4.
With that said there are several Aosp kernels that will allow you to push it to the limit. Just search the dev forum.
Overclocking your cpu will not hurt it unless its running hotter than the cooling system can handle. It will cause lock ups and failure to boot. If you start overvolting it, you WILL cause premature damage to the chip itself. Optimum overclock has always been 10-20% increase for any processor. Personally id rather underclock and undervolt a little, runs cooler and less power drain.
gizmoe is right, 2ghz is a 'just cuz i can' overclock. it wont run stable at that level. its like the 8ghz overclocks you see on the intel processors using LN2 cooling lol.
2ghz is bad.
I ran my inspire at 2ghz and besides the battery practically counting down the phones was heating up and that was maybe 15 minutes. Definitely not a goods idea.
Thank you for the input and info guys.
I could over clock and undervolt on a past captivate. Is there any app you would recommended for the inspire on cm7 to do this?

Setcpu use to be the go to app but many found it to lag after waking the phone. Many have now moved on to daemon controller. From the looks of it you're using CM7 which has the function built in..I believe its menu > settings > CM settings > performance...or something like that...don't check set on boot until you know how much OC your phone can candle. If you like CM, take a look at Absolution by the Collective. They have scripts written for custom profiles for OC and UVing.

I've clocked to 2ghz a few times just to get a crazy quadrant score but that's about it. I usually keep mine somewhere in the 900mhz range with a little lite uv'ing and found that to be plenty.

Well there are a lot of variables. Also, weather you want to lean towards performance, battery life. I'd say a good starting point is the default settings on MikRunny. 245mHz Min and 1.2gHz ( 1200mHz ) Max. Interactive and Ondemand are both good choices. Just bump it up a little at a time if you want a little more performance. Also, on MikRunny you have the option of setting the Battery Performance Levels to.
