What Am I Doing Wrong? (Overclocking Question)

Well, on my Inspire I have flashed a custom rom that gives me up to a 1400 score on my Quadcore tests, yet I see other people hitting 2000-2500, what am I doing wrong? I'm using Core Droid v5.0 with a flashed radio that speeds up my download and upload speeds. Do you guys have any advice on how to speed up my Android?
And by the way, yes I do have set CPU and I have the settings on Max (1024000) and on Minimum (245761) I also have set on boot ticked along with profiles to save battery life. Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
RootTheNoob

Are you running a kernael that can be overclocked?

How can I tell of it can be overlooked, and I'm pretty sure I am its the default core Droid Rom, or do I have to install the kernel separately as well?

The default CoreDroid kernel isn't overclocked. Also if you have an overlooked kernel, setcpu would let you push past 1ghz.

I think you can use the leedroid kernel with coredroid can't you? If so, I'm using that one. It will overclock to 1.8. I only run at 1.2 though.
see post 957:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12123867&highlight=leedroid#post12123867

So what do I set it to to overclock it?

First you have to floash the kernel. The you use the slider in set cpu to overclock.

How do I flash it?

Sounds like you have some reading to do. Download the kernel to the root of your SD card. Then from ROM manager use CWM to flash rom from SD Card. DO A BACK UP FIRST THOUGH. Read the first few leedroid posts and that will help

No, I know how to flash things but what kernel do I use?
What kernel do I use with Core Droid?

http://leedroid.ftp.rshost.eu/DHD-Kernels/
it is the 2.2.9. Check his post here and it will tell you what you are getting

Try the Inversely ROM...sure its stock based but the kernel can be oc'd to 1.8.... at 1.5 I got over 2600 and at 1.8 I got a 3309 and could do better sub some tweaking...right now though kernel is not a separate flash package.

Um..should be Ingersoll ROM.
Autocorrect fail....
What also helps is be fully charged...do your quad right after fresh boot and stop/shutdown all background processes you can..that's when you get best score.

Edit: hey he just posted his kernel ad a separate package...will make things interesting.

Guys, none of those kernels worked , I had to restore my Android to a previous backup.

Anything I can do?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Coredroid 5 is based off the the leaked GB rom no custom OC kernels are available. 1500 is about what I get with that rom also. If you want higher quadrant scores you need a froyo 2.2 based rom and kernel.

You'll prolly have to download a Rom with an oc kernel and wipe everything before you install it.
May not be what you want to do...but might be the only way to get what speeds you're wanting.
Otherwise...you'll have to wait till there's an oc kernel for the Rom your using.

yelp there isnt Oc of the core with gingerbread.. they do a 2.2 with oc. i havent done those yet cause i do like this gingerbread.. Im just going to keep with this V5.0 MIUI guys have the OC kernal for their gingerbread but they have more steps than i wanna deal with.

[Q] can someone help me overclock?

ok guys i dont know weather its me or not
but i had flashed some kernals the are 1.5ghz but my quadrant score wont go up than 3010 highest i got.
some people on youtube shows them more than 5000 so i was wonder what was i doing wrong
at the moment im running CM7 lates build 158
and i notice some kernals wont work with lates buil
what kernals can i flash to overclock my phone as fastest?
and how.
thanks in advance

Try the cm oc/uv 0.4.2 kernel by faux, install setcpu (free to members here, don't have link at the moment). Inside setcpu is where you adjust the kernel speeds. From what I've noticed, a custom kernel will be clocked around the normal kernel speed (stability reasons maybe) so even with custom kernels your not running as fast as you can.

i done the setcpu all the way to 1000 but it didnt seems to helped. i didnt go into profiles cause i dont know what im doing in there.

What kernel are you using? You have to use a custom kernel to overclock. Setcpu will detect the settings created by the person that made the kernel and allow higher settings. With the kernel I suggested you can go up to 1.55ghz

[Kernel List] HTC Doubleshot Kernels. February 21, 2012.

Kernels for the HTC Doubleshot. I'll update, and make it look more nice later. I put some time into this, so hopefully it's used. If there's any Kernels I'm missing, or info that's wroung let me know. Now I give you the First
::HTC Doubleshot Kernel List::
Basic Terms:
Undervolt (UV): An Undervolted Kernel is a Kernel that's supossed to bring in Battery savings. The higher the Undervolt, the better the battery savings. But this isn't with out drawbacks. Some CPU's can't handle higher Undervolts. So you'll have to figure out if your CPU can handle it. This can be done by starting at the highest UV, then see if it causes issues. If so, drop to the next UV (8%, 5%, 2%). If no issues (Like Reboots, Blackouts, etc.) Enjoy the UV.
Overclock (OC): This is simple, it's just making yours phones CPU go faster than it comes stock. Our device has a Qualcomm® 8260 dual core Snapdragon™, 1.5Ghz (But shipped at 1182Mhz). So an OC would be anything higher than a 1.2Ghz (Really 1.5Ghz). With an Adreno 220 GPU.
GPU: A graphics processing unit or GPU (also occasionally called visual processing unit or VPU) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory in such a way so as to accelerate the building of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display.
For the less geeky, it controlls anything based with graphics.
Icecream Sandwhich (ICS) : Android 4.0.X
Stock Speed 1.2Ghz UV 0%
OC 1.5Ghz/Slightly UV 2%
OC 1.5Ghz/Middle UV 5%
OC 1.5Ghz/Extremely UV 8%
These Kernels are made by tbalden. There to only be used with ICS Roms. There are both OC, and UV Kernels.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505394
[ROM][Feb 19 2012] Pyr'o'Ice ICS Desensed 1.1.0 - Android 4.0.3, AOSPish, 1.5GHz OC
The Kernels are the 3rd post down, and updated when need be.
Gingerbread (GB) : Android 2.3.X
Note: Anybody using any newer Radios, or HBoots. Any kernel that isn't Stock might cause issues. Most GB Kernels where made for the Stock Hboot, and Radio.
How to flash these: Reboot into Recovery. Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Mount System. Then Flash Kernel. Wait 10 Minutes (For best results) Then do a regular reboot.
Stock Kernel
This is the Kernel that comes on the Stock Rom. No OC, no added parts. Just how HTC sent it. Use this if you want a super stable Kernel. Or flash a bad Kernel, and can't boot.
Thanks to Undead for making this flashable Zip. (Enjoy your GSII Undead)
http://www.4shared.com/file/ect_yUtz/Stock_Kernel_Undeadk9.html
Romanbb's Kanged Kernel v.0.1
OC to 1.512 GHz
[*]UV across the board
[*]Upgraded to .14 from .10
[*]compiled with Snapdragon optimizations
Theres two of these Kernels. They're both very unstable, and cause a lot of random reboots. They're for use for any Rom based of the Stock Rom.

Stock Kernel with CIFS.ko, Tun.ko, NLS_UTF8.ko.
By Nusferatu
Just a stock kernel with CIFS.ko , TUN.ko , NLS_UTF8.ko built in
Works fine for me except for 1 bug (it's related to cifs i suppose) :
- on samba server rights for folder\files must be 777 or cifs won't allow to execute\view any.

Unity Kernel va1 for Doubleshot.
By the Unity Team
- 2.6.35.14
- 2WCR ( 2-Way Call Records)
- NOOP I/O Sheduler
- SLQB
- OC 1782Mhz (1.8Ghz)
Default Speed 1512Mhz (1.5Ghz)
-JHash3

Correction - the maximum processor clock speed as recommended by the manufacturer is 1.5 - HTC nerfed it down to 1.2, so saying it's a 1.2 processor is not accurate.
The GPU is the Adreno 220.
I'll toss more tech specs in later.

I was using what HTC Said, but I updated it.

Hey could you upload the Virtuous Kernel plz

Can anyone tell me which one works best for the miui port? I'm on the one that comes with the rom but I heard v1a might be better and is it oc/uv
Thank's aren't asked for but appreciated

we have some new kernels over in the dev. section so far we know they work for stock 1.28.531.9, 1.28.531.10, and Bulletproof.

I know but im not all that interested in Oc, more interested in battery savings. Also I use wifi alot so the unity kernel seems best to me.

I forgot to ask if any of these kernels support the latest software version 1.55 with hboot 1.45. And does the unity kernel support these version's?

[A700] [KERNEL] iconiaN - OC-UV

First as always, I am not responsible for any damages caused by using any files I release.
ok, right down to the point of this post.
I built kernel with the help of faux123 with OC/UV & GPU OC and have been asked to release it, so here it is:
Downloads:
iconiaN Kernel for A700 Final version
Currently it only clocks to 1.5GHz (Used SetCPU) more work is still to be done
GPU is OC'd to 520MHz
I welcome feedback and suggestions :fingers-crossed:
Please do NOT package these kernels with a custom ROM, instead point your users to this thread
Massive thanks to faux123 for complying with GPL, as I borrowed the GPU OC & UV from his kernel sources.
GPL States I should provide full source, so here it is: on GitHub

Wow. That's definitely a must have! I hope this will change the experience and launches apps faster.
Aren't the CPU and the GPU put together in one socket?

Will this kernel be packaged in iconiaN 2.2 by any chance?

I wondered why you wrote that the GPU is clocked at 1.5 Ghz. That`s a little bit too high in comparison with the mali 400 and other mobile GPU. Now I looked at your github and I see 520 MHz. A really nice Overclock too. Maybe you have clocked the CPU to 1.5 GHz?
I will test the kernel in a few minutes. Big THX for this

I was tired.
Was thinking CPU lol.
Yes it is a 520MHz sorry
I've not done the cpu oc yet though.

Vorbeth,
I downloaded and installed this last night. It was stable, but seemed to lag a bit. I think the OC of the GPU helps less than an OC of the CPU. Running the modified kernel OC'd at 1.4 seems to have a greater impact than OC'ing the GPU... it really seems like 1.3 GHz is not fast enough to support the higher clock speed on the GPU...???
Obviously, getting the both ramped up would seem to be the best scenario.
Your work on all of this for the A700 is very much appreciated!
Sent from my A700 using xda premium

This kernel does have the 1.4GHz cpu speed.
I'm going to see if I can push it a bit more.
Aiming for 1.6GHz CPU & 600MHz GPU.
Sent from my EndeavorU using xda app-developers app

Yes Sir! If 600 GPU aren`t stable, I think we can life with 500 too, when the CPU runs fine at 1,6 Ghz.
I`ve tested Wild blood(gameloft game with the Unreal engine 3, that works after I edited the build.prob) with your default kernel, and I think it was around 20 fps so I definitively need more horse-power

Sorry for the Double post, but I have downloaded your new kernel from google docs, and I`ve got no error during the CWM installation. So nothing to worry about Sir

You will see that it was 416MHz, the same as the nexus 7 and One X

Thank you for your reply. Seems like iiki doesn't have the correct information, since the One X is also listed there where the GPU says 520MHz.
Holy crap, THIS is getting attention on the friggin homepage, but this thread isn't? What is wrong with xda?

[Q] CM9 (9.2.2) Overclock [P500]

Why the last version of ics can't be overclocked?I mean,it can with another kernel,but why all devs who release a cm9.2.2 version use default kernel which can't be overclocked (max value) [IcySnap 2.0,NFE 6.0,maybe HardLight 4.0,etc] ? Is the phone actually working better at 600 mhz than 710 + for example? Any answer will be appreciated and please stick to the topic !
Ps* Sorry for wrong section!

As I know they can especially with 3.0.8 kernel
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

The phone actually works better at 600mhz. You can try overclocking with sweetnsour kernel, but you will notice that after overclocking phone runs bit laggy and benchmarks scores also decrease. Maybe its limitation of ICS + 3.0.x kernels.
Overclocking works fine with cm10.1 which has 3.0.8 kernel.

But for games for example,won t them run better with oc?Or I guess you can t have both: a little games performance & smooth ui?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

It was disabled in stock CM9.2.2 kernel by hephappy. You can use custom kernel by sweatnsour or DJNoXD (look at Original Android Development forum) and then you can OC your phone. In my opinion, beta 5 by DJNoXD (also 3.0.x based kernel) is the best.
