I'm that this has been brought up before but could someone tell me how overclocking the GPU is done? It seems to me that the CPU is the most stable and is fine at 1200 MHz and going any higher is just a battery killer. But the GPU seems like it's severely underclocked. (or at the very least could do with some OCing )
Are there any apps that support it on the Charge or some tutorials that can show me where I can experiment with some numbers. I know my bro's Galaxy Nexus kernel has GPU overclocking built into it.
Feel free to give me bad news but if there is any hope i'm up to some leg work and phone sacrificing. lol.
It requires kernel support. PBJ overclocks the GPU some, but it isn't customizable. Beyond that, there isn't a way on the Charge.

GPU OCing from a UI isn't possible on this device-AFAIK its only possible on the GSII (maybe the nexus). The PBJ kernel OCs it a bit, but imnuts wants to ensure stability vs raw speed.

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.

I found where you can change the FPS cap, but not the clock speed.

Would that do anything without a clock speed increase?

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.

Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches?
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.
Big thanks to the devs who turned this phone from crap into gold!
Hi Guys I have a Galaxy S 4G I have noticed that max stable overlclock is 1.508Ghz If I bump up to 1.516Ghz It is stable but at watching videos for a long time it crashes, I have noticed that the normal max temp is below 60 C or 55 C, that's stress testing for long time, normal everyday is 41~43 or, I Think It can go higher but I t would need 1500mV or 1600mV core Voltage also to achieve 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8 even 2.0Ghz It takes 1600mV or 1800mV, temps would be 45~47 normal, and above 60~65 on stress testing. But tegrak doesn't support these volatges, It would need to tweak the code. With proper cooling temps can go down to 33 or 30, lets say using the phone in a cool room.
Do you know when are they gonna support higher core voltages(Tegrak OC)?
Do you really need to oc that high?

At 1.5 is goood but for proper PC like performance it would be a bit higher.
2.0ghz would beat samsung sgs2
I know anything higher than 2.0Ghz the phone would suffer, I don't know if the main board can support 2.5Ghz or 3.0Ghz. The battery doesn't handle that much power not even 3500mah battery
Mine runs stable and quite cool @ 1.62 and I get 4128 quad score, but I have no need to oc the phone with all the tweaks.

Thanks I'm gonna try out your setup, but that's the highest it can go?
I get a max of 2300+ because I have no tweaks and I am at Stock 2.3.5 UVUKJ3
I really don't see the need for oc other than for playing a REALLY graphical intensive game. For me, I get a better performance boost from the tweaks incorporated into roms than oc. I tried running a 1.5 for a week and I honestly didn't even notice a difference other than less battery life.

Well I notice a difference but anything above 2.0 GHz it is nearly impposible, even if it is gotten above that it would not match new dual and quad Core CPU because they have a different architecture but the battery is the first thing that you notice but the things that I do on the phone require much more processing power than stock. Well the highest is 1.6ish that I think the phone has been able to handle. But definitely overclocking the phone will get you up to speed work new games coming out

When we get source for GB or ics then I can write scripts to tweak the voltages higher for a higher oc, I have been waiting for that lol

Every phone is different some can handle extreme uving others can't even boot the phone after flashing the kernel. You have to just try and test until you find something stable and up to your needs.

I have no experience with cpu overclocking so I really don't know what it means like a -100mv undervolt @1.4 GHZ. Would I get the same performance but use less power??

I know that if you OC/UV incorrectly, it can cause stability issues. But I was wondering does it cause any damage to the phones hardware like battery, etc? And like how can you tell when SETCPU is causing problems?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well if you OC to high numbers your just stressing the cpu more.Knowing when you have issues is simple getting random reboots,phone getting too hot etcc.
It differs for every phone but undervolting -25 for each voltages works well.
Personally I really don't see the point overclocking to high levels like 1.4 ghz etc,Is up to individual I guess.

Yeah I have been wondering what's the point of OC to 1.4? Does it make that big of a difference in the 4g speed? And cpu speed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Honestly, there really is no point other than for benchmarks. I, like mt3g, actually underclock the phone to something like 750-760mhz; it runs beautifully smooth.
Other than that, if you game a lot and want to maximize FPS, then overclocking would do that for you.
Doesn't have anything to do with 4g speed afaik. That's entirely reception.
Yeah 4g is about reception and tmobile simply.
I mean I had single core devices like MT4g ,SGS 4g for the most part on a day to day basis transitions to transitions theres not much diffirence in terms of speed. Now for FPS and a few other games you need that dual core.Point is there"s no need to OC a dual core phone!
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I have had mine OC'd to 1.1 ghz with some undervolts. It is very stable , 10-12 hr battery with medium to heavy use , and ofcourse fast. Took a while to find the best settings.
When I have SetCPU set to 1015 megahertz, that's the same as stock voltage, isn't it?

Changes you might see are battery life but not that much unless you so how mess with voltage. Like other have said you know it effecting stability when its overheating, shutting down randomly, exiting program randomly.
Hey, I have been playing around with some rom to find the best battery life and recently I wonder if underclocking my CPU to 1000 MHz and below does extend nexus s battery life?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
It does, but it also makes the OS noticeably less smooth and can often take a little longer to get things done. 1000MHz is a good compromise. However, TEUV for example defaults at 880Mhz with an overclocked GPU (220MHz over 200MHz) which is particularly smooth if your phone can handle it and saves an extra little chunk of battery through undervolting. I would go that route rather than 800MHz/200MHz GPU.
Is there any posibl

Any kernel with LiveOC. Matr1x 11.5 i believe was the latest for GB. You might find a link somewhere for Trinity TEUV for GB too. Unsure of others, wasn't on GB for very long myself.
