none so far. just an overclock hack.

since im a noob i dont know what overclock hack is. can you explain?

yes, i would like to know of this overclock hack as well, i have overclocking apps on my mytouch (rooted) but is this hack refering to something you flash, or an add-on specificly for Cyanogen¿
Thank you in advance

It makes your phone run WAY faster (in most cases) at the whim of battery life though... never had an issue with the battery, my Mytouch (1.2) with CM 5.0.7 test 5 made it so my battery is like... uber good, very efficiant power management on that rom (once you tinker with it) my old stock Donut FW (1.6) was eating the crap out of my batt, had to recharge once or twice a day, now its every other day! even overclocked!
*** Should have probably said there is no HACK for this yet, only overclocking apps (if im wrong please... flame me lol)

Im new to all of this. Can someone please send me step by step directions on how to root my, my touch 3g with the latest

just a word of advice i would google before you ask questions or post problems. there are lots of guides out there this is the one that i used.
I am new so i cant post links but just go to google and search "magic to cyanogen"
also i would recomend a non-test or experiemental rom first. you will save yourself a headache
welcome to mod-ville.... its like farm-ville only cool.

I don't believe this is going to be a fruitful idea, if possible. Cyanogen himself has stated that Eclair is heavily dependent on the GPU and that it would hurt performance to take away GPU memory.

Yeah, RAM hack's a bad idea here.
I had the RAM hack working on an earlier test version of CM5 (Eclair). While I saw a huge difference and performance boost using it on CM4 (Donut), using it on 5 seemed to actually slow it down a hair.

Xoom Overclock Question.......

Just a curious question..cause im thinking about getting one of these soon. I like em.
But..these ship with Android 3.0 or 3.2 already on them. NOW...example..the G Tablet...people ROOT those because of the bad stock ROM it came with. And the Non Android market that it shipped with. Then lead to many other things to be added to the GTab like the SetCPU for overclocking.
My question would be....since the Xoom already has Android 3.2 and all...no need to really ROOT it for me. BUT..is there a way to overclock it with any app...WITHOUT having to ROOT the Xoom??? Most of those overclock apps you need to be ROOTED. Just wondering if there is a such app to overclock the Xoom without ROOT.
Thanks for any reply.

No, you need to root and install a kernel or rom that supports overclocking. But the Xoom, while perfectly fine on stock, absolutely shines when rooted and running custom rom/kernel.

I knew that was coming. So Xoom you would say is still VERY good straight out the box??? Speed wise. loading...startup and stuff like that.
What could be added with the ROOT that it doesnt already have??? Besides a overclocking app like SetCPU. How else could it benefit from a ROOT that it cant now?

Ok, for me, I hate not have root control over the device, and when unrooted/unmodded, it feels less snappy. Plus rooting adds functionality (sdcard r/w and usb host mode in addition to overclocked cpu/gpu) so I can't see leaving it stock/inrooted.

THAT i understand. Like example..the G tablet. That HAD to be ROOTED. It was a very powerful Tablet. Tegra 2 Dual Core..it had the power. But the software on it sucked. No Official Android market or Google stuff on it. So to me...that HAD to be ROOTED to bring it up with all the other big Tablets.
But the Xoom...it had the Official Market...it has Tegra 2 Dual Core also. The things that the GTab didnt have...Xoom has out the box. Thats why i wanted to know besides overclocking...what else would it need. The things they ROOTED the GTab for....the Xoom has already. Cept the overclock. So for me...as long as its not too slow (Which it cant be that slow)....i should be good with it. Just want it overclocked maybe a lil if i felt it was needed. Know what i mean?

I used to think the same thing until I installed morray 2.2.2 all this time on a stock rom and I was just getting used to how much it sucked. I would suggest giving morray a try and I can say you won't be disappointed.

[Q] Is it worth rooting?

Hi,
this may be a stupid question but I'm owner of a xoom for 1 week now (got it pretty cheap on amazon cyber monday) and am actually quite fond of it. To my question:
I'm actually quite surprised by the user experience on 3.2, it's very responsive and fast so I'm asking myself if rooting is even necessary? Also looking in advance to the official release of ICS, which is supposed to come pretty quick for the xoom.
Is it worth it? If yes, which ROM would you recommend?
Thanks!

overclocking is worth it. most of us run rock solid @1.5
not to mention all the other things you can do...

I agree, rooting and using custom roms and kernels adds lots of functions that you otherwise wouldn't have, like being able to write to the micro sdcard and using usb host mode.
I love the setup in my signature and highly recommend it.
There is the expected ICS update, but I think it's still months away. Our developers are working on ports of ICS as we speak, so chances are that we might have it in a custom rom before the Xoom gets the OTA update.

Then that's settled. Thank's for the help guys!

hi okantomi,
i use rooted xoom but i dont do overclock due to battery drainage. Is it true that more you overclock the device more your battery drains? I am confused. I want to overclock and again want to save battery. what can i do? plz help.

yup OC = more battery usage.
if you OC with setcpu you can use profiles and set the clockspped to batt level,temp...

Profiles work really well to save battery under certain scenarios, also you can undervolt a bit to save battery...you will have to experiment a bit with that though, too much undervolting won't support the clock speed you have it set at...(do you follow?)...there have been a couple of good threads on this topic.

[Q] stock rom vs custom rom

good morning,
i'm quite new on this phone even if It works fine for me with a stock rom 4.0.4 I would you like to understand if there is a good advantage to pass on a custom rom.
Please share with me your experience and answer with my few questions:
what kind of custom rom and kermel you have on?
which is the difference there is in term of battery life; performance; stability.
Thanks for your help

Welcome to the Nexus ... you're going to love this phone. With that said, you need to jump in and do some reading. There is no shortage of opinion on which rom, kernel, or even GB vs ICS ... is best. It very much depends on your likes, dislikes, etc. I assume that you have a gsm device, so make sure to flash the appropriate roms, kernels, etc. Lastly, there is lots of help available, but it's always best if you dig in and bring yourself up to speed with what's already been posted in these great forums. Good luck!

thanks mate,
after few weeks i tested it, i find this phone a very good one and I don't feel the need to jump in a custom rom. I rooted it, installed a busybox and the clockwork and I added some apps to eliminate some gaps like the missing notification when the screen is off (I installed the noled apk for it) or like a switch off or switch on of the screen using the power button (I used an apps called accendi scermo and I switch on and off the screen using the phone sensor). The only thing that miss on this phone is an fm radio offline. I'm still searching a solution.

Stock rom: more stable, less features
Custom rom: less stable, more features

Well if you want to be normal. Than good for you.
Now a custom rom and kernel can give you unlimited privilages to things you can never imagine possible. Undervolting your device to give you brain blowing battery life or over clocking to give you awesome graphics.
A custom rom like CM9 or AOKP (there are way more than two but im just listing the popular ones) is of course better than stock since... well if it wasnt why would they make it. A kernel links your hardware to your software, meaning you can do some tweaking in the middle. If you find the right kernel and rom mix you can have a wopping 15 days standby on your battery (eg CM9 and Matr1x Kernel).
Now thats just the basics. if you are interested and want more information. Just do a bit of research and reading in this forum and ask questions in those forums. Hope this helps.

ics 4.0.4 stock+ simple or thalamus kernel

Or Bugless Beast with one of those kernels

[Q] Xperia J NeutronMP - how to reduce heavy lags?

Hi,
I'm using a Xperia J with Cyanogenmod 10.1(month ago installed) and the NeutronMP, because I have some 24 Bit/96kHz flacs, which only NeutronMP undestands them. The little better Quality is a reason too. But every time, when I'm using this, i get some heavy lags and most of the time listening to music isn't very nice.
Firstly, what's the reason for that? Too low CPU/RAM, low performance on sd card? Every time I've looked in task manager, it seems to be (relative) normal. In addition, i haven't got any performance hungry apps running in background.
Secondly, how can I reduce this? What would be most effective?
Thanks in advance,
Lg

CM 10.1 for J was never stable stick to CM 10 and don't use that crappy audio engine

Do you mean Neutron with "crappy audio engine"? I Haven't found a alternate player, so i can't choose.
I will install CM 10 later. Other things i could do?
thanks anyway.
EDIT: furthermore, i think "that crappy audio engine" is the reason, it can play all of my files.

I stuck with stock when I got my J, I did however flash a new kernel to allow me to overclock to 1.3ghz. Do a search for vengence kernel and flash that. Don't flash the newest one though, stick with v1.40 (later versions do not have oc facility)

You see, most people think OC actually speeds up their phone, well it doesn't. Only wastes battery, get CM 10 and use Riches Kernel or use my ROM if you want a stable and fast jellybean.

Of course overclocking speeds up the phone. You are increasing your CPU speed to the maximum that the hardware will allow. Yes there will be slightly less battery life, but that's a given. Its swings and roundabouts. Personally I find that there isn't a noticeable difference in mine (I still get 2 days on regular usage), but with the extra 300MHz I get from overclocking I no longer have the heavy lagging I had on the stock kernel. If there are no benefits from oc, how do you explain all the tests that prove you wrong?

Thanks for your ideas, i will test both versions. But i don't know really, what exact is too less.
EDIT: btw, I've installed CM 10, and it isn't really better. But anyway, i didn't thought it would change the world.

which rom you installed CM 10.1 ?

Now I have installed this one: [projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-10] (FXP248). I thought, i had installed this one: [projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-10-1], but i can't find the package; so it could also have been this: [projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-10-2] (FXP248).
But it really doesn't matter, what of these versions I had installed, because they have all the same (bad) performance for my NeutronMP. Right?

If you wanted to stick with cm10, I think that Rom supports the vengeance kernel so you could get the best of both worlds

so you tell us, you installed unsupported CM 10.1 / 10.2 & your phone is laggy & not working it;s functions ? :laugh: :laugh:
i loled , because you installed unsupported CM versions to your phone & says its very laggy lol
be careful next time, because maybe it'll end with soft brick or hard brick like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550937 ( phone main board change after he installed that rom )

There are many more ways to improve a phone's performance
Install A Custom Rom,
Mods like Supercharger or Crossbreeder which benfit battery life
OCing is not bad but it is also not beneficiary for the device

My phone only is lagging, when I'm using NeutronMP, never with other apps. (I don't use other performance hungry apps like games, but anyway.)
I asked this, because I've had the same problems when I've used NeutronMP with the stock android.
@ all: thanks for your replies.
