motorola defy overclock

hello
defy can overclocked higher from 1.3GHz ????

If you see the topic about OC, you will see people at 1400, but i think it's too dangerous. Even 1200 is a bit dangerous for me, phone goes to 39º-40º when the normal here is 34º-35º at 800 and 36º at 1000.

ok how i can overclocked defy to 1.4GHz ????

search.........

search setvsel on forum

Untill bootloader will (hopefuly) be unlocked and oc kernels will be made. Stay lower then 1300 and 85 vsel.

please any one give me setting for setvsel to keep battery life better
i use wifi a lot

you are posting in the wrong section and you aren't even
clear about what you want.
it's either over 1.3ghz or bettert life. pick ONE and just try
it yourself. SetVsel is pretty good and easy to use. You
shouldn't have to ask how. And as for the settings, it differs
for each and every sigle device, you can't exactly use other
people's settings anyway.
so quit asking and TRY it yourself.

1.3Ghz can be done.
Milestone overclock tried 1.35 with 74v . preety good when not running 3d game.
score: 1.8++

No need to go above 1ghz because the heaviest game on android is asphalt 6 i believe and then you have dungeon hunter II but i wouldn't recommend you to go anywhere above 1ghz as it risks your CPU's life and affects it. You can try overclocking to 1.2ghz only if you want to try out NDS4DROID lol.

Dungeon Hunter and asphalt work pretty good/smooth on 1200mhz havent test it on 1ghz. Havent found any lag game yet btw. Only games missing texture but thats cortex.

Playing Dungeon Hunter II and Asphalt 6 without any lag in 1Ghz (300/24, 600/36, 1000/56 @80 threshould). Only take care with undervolt, if it's too low the phone will reboot.

Reboot or freeze.

[Q] overclocking with Set CPU

So I rooted my Droid X2 and installed Set CPU. I had problems running set CPU, I couldn't use the drop down menu for setting CPU governors, I also couldn't over clock my CPU, just under clock. Does set CPU work with the nvidia tegra 2 dual core processor in the X2? If not, which app will let me overclock and change CPU governors?

You have to have a custom kernel that allows overclocking.

I'm really new to Android, i've been using iOS for years, and finally jumped the fence. I just rooted my Droid X2, used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze all the bloated apps, and I wanted to get more control of my CPU, as well as overclock a little. I thought I could just install SetCPU and I would be able to Overclock.
So in order to have a custom kernel I would have to install a custom ROM? Such as Cyanogenmod? As I said, I am pretty new to Android, but if I am correct, Cyanogenmod is not available yet for the Droid X2 is it? Are there any other custom ROMs that are available or would work with my X2?
Is it really even all that necessary to overclock what is already a pretty powerful device? Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor is powerful in its stock form isn't it? I would almost think I would gain more by dialing the CPU down at certain times, at least I would gain battery life. I think I am able to set up profiles with SetCPU without having a custom kernel, right?

This is a useless app made by Vietnamese people (I'm Vietnamese). It cannot overclock which many people mistakenly believe, and it only has the task of limiting the CPU speed, the CPU speed is managed by the OS and limiting it is a bad way because no matter what task it does it will be slowed down. When idle the CPU will automatically reduce its voltage and speed by OS. Any process no matter how big or small with high CPU speed it will be processed very fast even with small tasks that are reported not to use up CPU but it will still be faster than a slower CPU. Kernel Auditor is also useless.

it's not you install a custom kernel to manage cpu to overclock by some app but you're going to overclock into kernel using a custom kernel

best overclocking?

OK guys. After much searching i've just become confused as to which is the best overclock app/ROM for the HTC sensation z710e. I used SetCPU but it couldn't actually take my processors above 1.188GHZ and I tried the sense-o-maniac ROM and also the android revolution 6.0.3 ROM, both of which say the processors are overclocked to 1.5GHZ but there is absolutely no difference to me, no they are not slower, and I just want a clear straight up ROM or app that OVERclocks.
Thanks,
Sensation lover

I under clocked my cpu to 1 ghz and I see no difference in speed.... From 1.2 to 1.5 its 20% increase in cpu speed.... Speed of the phone doesn't depend on cpu alone... So thats around 7-10% increase in speed overall (because there is gpu, ROM, sd card, memory)... And thats maybe... Do you really think you can see 7% in speed? Try some synthetic cpu benchmark with 1.2 and 1.5 and only then will you see....
This is my five cents ;-)

Well the app that controls the CPU clocking is limited in what it can do by the Kernel you're running.
If you're Kernel only supports 1.18 Ghz, Set CPU can't do anything about it.
So you need a Kernel that supports overclocking. The Kernel also controls what kind of governors who can put on the CPU (Conservative, performance, battery saving, etc...)
As far as the controller apps go though, I like the ones that can set the screen off speeds at a different rate than the screen on speeds. That makes sure I don't drain battery at alarming rates when the phone is in my pocket because a rogue app decided it wanted to get funky.

As Skipjacks mentioned, the overclocking speed is due to the kernel you have flashed.
If you are unsure on which kernel to use,
Always use the kernels suggested by the ROM developer.
Of course, you could try various Kernels but do keep in mind that not all ROM's support different kernels.
Normally the current roms has CPU clocking apps built into it,
one widely used is the Daemon control. It usually comes with an app that you can control the overclocking speed.
The current app i'm using, I use System Tuner Pro (yes I support app developers)
It enables me to force cpu2 online, which ultimately makes my phone faster.

CPU won't clock at fullspeed...

Hey guys,
I noticed that there was some lag when i was playing for example Riptide or Shadowgun..then I installed System Panel to monitor my cpu clock speed while i'm playing shadowgun and this is what it showed:

This processor runs barely half the speed of what its capable of. this is causing fps drops..
Does anyone have an idea of whats going on there? Are you suffering from the same problem?
Edit:
SuperPi seems to stress out the dual core properly:

Why don't the games? Is this why the games aren't optimized yet or is this a system-issue?
greets,
ossy1337

Aren't those optimized for the tegra 2/3 or are they readily available apps?

Yes they're tegra optimized but they ran flawlessly on my Galaxy S2..
Hope the games will be optimized in the next few days/weeks

this is a bug in htc kernel .... and we wait for someone to fix it like in HTC Sensation

I think it has more to do with ICS.. the Galaxy Nexus only runs at half clockspeed most of the time as well. Hell when I had mine it ran at the lowest clockspeed the majority of the time, and only when playing N64 could I bump it up to 700mhz. But hey if it's not lagging who cares (in the case of the Nexus)

I installed setcpu and decreased the up threshold to 40% ..before it was on 90% which means that the cpu only clocked up at 90% cpu load.. now it does at 40%. this solved my problem

+1 sounds like the best solution. Battery life may be sacrificed but hey, 90% is pretty ridiculous

If you weren't using tegra based games use shadowgun and riptide. Used the playstore ones you would get no frames drops. Mostly likely chainfire 3d developer would need an one s as it a vastly different from s3 processors. I personally have both on a SamsungGalaxySII with s3 processors with no frame drops. GPU configuration might not play nice with Krait.

[Q] Lower GPU Frequency to less than 160mhz

I'm using bricked kernel. Is there any way to lower 2D and 3D GPU frequency to less than 160mhz? Im thinking of about maybe 100mhz.
Is there an app that could do that?
What file should i edit in the systems help pls.
I don't mind having slow load times as long as my sensation can last longer playing games. Thanks.
