I was browsing the Optimas 2x forum today and ran into an awesome kernel with GPU overclock. which sounds pretty cool to me. also the dev mentioned something about overclocking "system bus" which improvers memory/2D/3D/etc. i think someone in this forum should take a look into this KERNEL and try letting us taste some of this goodness.
Here are the links:

while im no genius when it comes to this stuff, somehow i would suspect that people here are already looking into this.
i could be wrong tho lol

The person to ask this to is Morfic. He's all about tweaking bus speeds to improve not only cpu but gpu performance as well. But much of what you've already requested has been incorporated

G2X
CPU overclock is something that makes sense for us right now but what would a GPU overclock get us? To me thats just something that will lower the life of our phone with no real reward until games come out that our phone can't run. Right now our phone can run pretty much all games at full speed.
gpu overclocking would be sweet... now my question would be has anyone tried to load Optimas 2x kernel/software on the g2x since they are pretty much the same hardware(in theory you would think it would work)... i might even try to load this kernel onto my phone when i get home from work so if i mess anything up ill have my gear to fix it

I remember reading a while ago that GPU/System bus overclocking was attempted by some kernel dev, then later on, the dev realized through extensive testing that GPU and system bus clocks were locked, the changes to the kernel source had no effect (hardwired). Now this was a few months ago when I was reading up on Tegra kernel development before I got my G2x. Now all these could have been obsolete, and maybe now someone has found a way to do the above via kernel source updates.
Another issue that most people don't mention here and many people have been guilty of, is the GPL issue. The guy who supposedly did this overclocking has not published his kernel source code anywhere (GPL/XDA rules issues), so no one can examine what he did and prove that it worked....

Someone in another thread tried this and it messed up their baseband. A restore doesn't fix it apparently.
Big rush dog, the tiamat kernel guru and Guy getting engadet headlines for oc the xoom to 1.7 ghz has gpu oc in his kernels. I will be honest though, I can't tell the difference except maybe video streaming works a little smoother. I personally don't think it is worth the devs time...

Howdy! I'm the developer of that kernel
To be honest the GPU overclocks aren't all that beneficial. There is a little bit of a speed bump (I managed to get the highest score on nenamark2 for example). But the difference is was 27fps vs 32fps. If someone is interested in incorporating that into the g2x I'll be happy to show them the changes I've made. I haven't released the source because I'm lazy but there isn't too much to it.
Actually, if you look at the voltKernel sources for the O2X you'll see the same changes there.

Yes, superficial benchmarks like quadrant can be pushed to 5400 only with max cpu oc.
However, did you notice how 1.2 thru 1.5 gets you the same fps with no added benefit than more heat created?
Pushing other things other than cpu should let us remove bottlenecks and not tighten them up.
If you want your G2x to life 20yrs, 1.5ghz is not the way to go.
I have no kernel ready for release, to notice changes, I stuck to 1.5ghz, but the final result will be more likely 1.2 or 1.3ghz.
Maybe with a "don't hold my hand, give me freedom or give me death" DBU version at 1.5Ghz later.
I'm not shy to increase vcore on a SoC. But unlike the Nexus S, this thing gets HOT, fast.
Avetny pointed out that thread, I'll see if fallout hit something I have missed so far.
The clocks get compared to chip defaults in many places, choosing the smaller of the two, so it's just tedious replacing them with sane defaults, unless I stick to my current approach of offsets instead of absolutes.
We'll see.
That's also the reason I don't update my kernel often. Right now commits in cm git are only preparatory, config changes that made things smoother I already used.
I'll release something if they finish their version of BLN.
Or if I'm happy with gpu/bus/ram oc/tweaks.
not going to make people flash a kernel for no reason. As jlevy can attest, kernel not following cm git, not even based on it can work very well.
Not having latest cm commit on kernels that take another approach is not always useful.
Especially if we track regressions that cm devs back out later, that's all this gains.
So yes, there will be a gpu oc, when it's ready.
Great!
@ fallout0 thank you i hope that you can help out one of our devs on this.

You should talk to Fallout0 he seems like he got past the system bus/GPU locked issue. both of you can maybe learn something new from each other. & it would be awesome if the both of you can work on a kernel together.
Wouldn't a higher clocked G2x cause more heat? Heat being the reason this things reboots so often? Maybe a slower G2x is the way to go.
Would overclocking the gpu help run nds4droid any better? What else would ocing the gpu do? Everything seems to be very fast as it is lol

Pushing cpu more I don't see useful other than keep up with your buddy's Nexus S' quadrant scores and make sure your hands stay warm in a cold Chicago winter.
I build kernels usually when things stutter or otherwise annoy me. The pushing the OC usually comes by request of those who just want more more more.
I do like to remove bottle necks.
The hardwired clocks. Well the.cpu ones are hardwired too.
The gpu/bus oc works, until boost and throttling kick in, where again values are compared to hardwired values. using offsets after the comparison would be the way around without killing boosting and throttling.
Guess main thing that stopped me is the heat at 1.5ghz, and the frowns over 1.2ghz and 1.3ghz kernels, without further "what else is in there"
Still hoping fallout can share what he/she has, it'll help making this a reality, sooner.
It's tedious. Most of all.
FuguMod Ultra
This is by far the best Kernel I've used in my SG3. I had stuck to the FuguMod 2.2 Bleeding Edge version for quite a long time, and I was terribly missing the 1% Battery MOD. And I learned the hard way, that the FuguMod 2.4 Alpha 14 (the other kernel that can be Overclocked to 1.3GHz & has the 1% MOD) has a huge battery drain problem.
This one right here, which was prescribed to me by marcellusbe is amazing!
The battery life is great, even after being overclocked to 1.3GHz. Its pretty stable (No Freeze/ForceClose issues so far), and the phone has almost completely stopped lagging. The phone isn't heating up even @ 1.3Ghz. Scored 15+ in Linpack and got a Quadrant Score of 900+ [Check Signature for Screenshots ].
All the ROM makers out there should check this one out!

Created By : marcellusbe
P.S : This is NOT the official release of the Kernel. Marcellusbe will bring out the last build of the Bleeding Edge Ultra Edition after testing out other frequencies and adding a few extra features like the Voodoo Sound Recording. Wait for it
For more details, head over to the Official Thread.
Ok, I will check that out.. thanks for posting!
Edit:
great kernel! Really speed things up!
I have set it with SetCPU to 975 MHz for a stability and speed.
and option is on demand.

@Jazux : - Cool banner.
It's the last build of the bleedingedge ultra edition .. I didn't released it yet since I wanted to test others frequencies and add some features (like voodoo sound recording) but you can use it.
Attention : it could not work on all device because of high overclocking.
Last note about this kernel : it has a bug in the battery driver (well it's not really a bug but a side effect of the overclocking) .. it show 100% battery full after some minutes even if the battery is not full ...

Okay so I just installed this kernel and it's absolutely epic. You remember that thread I made with the skipping music? Well I'll have to ask Haree to delete it now because it was probably the kernel. Using this kernel i had Angry Birds Rio AND Poweramp running music and it didn't skip a beat. I'm using Krillos 5.7 and the new setcpu seems to have some new governors! Savagedzen, smartass and minmax. I'm using SavagedZen and it's running very very nice. It would also appear that it has the option to undervolt within it! and to think i was considering changing to a stock rom....pffff
Edit: Just added doing a full titanium backup to that list of stuff going on at the same time and STILL no music stuttering!

I realized that this Kernel was amazing when I saw Asphalt working brilliantly! Waiting for the official release. It might take a while as marcellusbe right now has his hands full with the CM7 port
For now, the Pre-Release version will do!
Yes, I FINALLY did it!!! I overclocked my G2X. I would appreciate if anyone could share their experiences with o.c. pros and cons... Should I retreat or stay where I am? Please some feed back!
Over 1300 seems to cause trouble on mine.
i dont think oc'ing is really that necessary with a phone this fast but if u must i wouldn't go above 1.3 (just seems unstable above that). I think the "Pros" come from being able to underclock. Setting up profiles for uc'ing when screen is off or as battery level drops etc really prolongs the life of the battery (at least in my case)
On my OG droid that came limited at 550 mhz, ya, oc'ing was def necessary but I cant really think of any "Pros" for oc'ing this phone.
each phone is different though so play around and you'll find a combination that works great for your phone, good luck
Well... you can get some serious bench scores... This thing rocks the Mandelbrot multithread test in smartbench 2011 at 1.5 ghz. Other than that it helps with games.

What about the CPU not having enough cooling and frying the CPU over time. I presume its just like Desktop overclocking but without all the extra cooling you can add to make it safe for the hardware.

But what i really want to know is if oc could damage the phone. After all if there is that danger it's noy worth it...
In all honesty I used to be really into benchmark scores and OCing the heck out of my phone and under volting it in the process but that led to many battery pulls ect. What I've noticed is just keep it at stock and mild uving seems to be the best for me its stable decently fast just 2 cents though
Overclocking a cpu is the same as on a pc, only a bit more dangerous on a phone. (This phone already has overheating problems running at stock speeds ) On a computer, people pay a premium for parts that are easily overclocked, and have either very good fans/heatsinks or a liquid cooling rig.
Overclocking is dangerous, especially because not all chips are going to be made equal, even if they come off the same production line. These chips are designed to run at a certain voltage, and certain clock speed. As far as real world use, (NOT benchmarks. Sure, they look pretty and all, but benchmarks are never very accurate.)
Sure, you might get 2-3 more fps on your games, but is that worth the risk of shortening the life of your chip/phone?
(And just so you know, I've been building/overclocking pc's for years, but I also understand what you need to do to keep it stable, and it's *all about cooling*.)
If you're not convinced, try this. Don't overclock your phone, and use it for a few days. Tell me honestly that you really notice a real-usable difference with the chip overclocked or not. (Games set aside, but like I said, getting a couple extra fps on a game to me isn't worth the risk without a proper cooling setup)
For those of you that really don't understand what you're doing to your chips when you overclock, I'd suggest doing some reading about it. A good place to start would be here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking
So you think using fauxs kernel is not safe or reduces the life of the chip? I just flashed it and didnt oc or uv further then fauxs default settings...

I'm not saying it's for sure, I'm saying there's a chance.
Plus keep in mind that these kernels have other really nice additions besides overclocking and undervolting. I'm using faux's stock voltage kernel ext4, and leaving it at stock settings, and it really works great.
I just posted this up because I see a lot of people more interested in quadrant scores (which to me are pretty useless) than stability of their phones. If you do overclock, and it works for you, more power to you. I just want to inform people. I'd HIGHLY suggest if you aren't sure, read that wiki article, it's a great place to start. (not all information is there, but it gives a very good general idea on how and what overclocking is.)
Thanks! i always like reading knowledgeable and informative posts!

OK, you definitely convinced me.... I have also faux (let me tell you exactly - Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 FR Faux 123-v0.03) on EagleBlood 1.05. Could you please tell me what I need to do set up in order to be safe? Thanks!
I'd just go to faux's thread in the development section (his froyo thread, not the cm7 one, since you're using eagleblood), and download his stock voltage kernel. (It's in the first post.) He's on .04 now, by the way.
Then reboot into recovery, and flash the file you downloaded. It'll overwrite your current kernel and modules with the new one, then reboot.

And a lot of times the kernel will be credited to the developer. So if you see "faux's kernel" people are referring to kernels by faux123. Trinity kernels were developed by morfic. If you are having a hard time finding a specific one, look at the top left to see who started the thread and sometimes that will help find it. Does that make sense? I had to pull an overnight at work so I am a little loopy....

Hi again people, wanna talk about the faux123 004 b6 kernel with u, first off the kernel is amazing when it comes to gaming and stability:good:
now people are having problems with the interactive governore as it dosent use all 4 cores properly -1 (No big Deal) cause (hamdir) talked about how u can modify the OnDemand governor and make it alot better. And he is knowing what he is talkin about!!! So big love to U 2!
so i wanna share the settings im using with my kernel.
First System Tuner
upthresehold 60- 50 is to mutch I think
downthreshold: 10
i set Auto kill : Aggressive
UC CPU : 1.4Ghz- so it wont force stay on one core at 1.5Ghz (when ur running quad mode all are hitting 1.4Ghz
Now UV : first 5 : -225mvh and all others -150mvh and it works fine 4 me (Remember al chips are made in a different way so if it dosen work for u try a bit lower. if it wont work it will just reboot to the old values!
The UV does not affect the GPU like some say it does (ULP GPU are using low power it dosent need as much juice as other GPU´s and if my CPU all 4 can hit 1.4Ghz then it cant be a problem with the 520mhz GPU!
So if ur phone lags during gaming or just in general there is something wrong with the ROM or u have installed it wrong
I always make sure i have no data cashe or any thing left when installing a rom dont even restore old apps or data cuz that can be the problem so see u soon with some talkin abou the ViperX 1.0.1 ROM!
Wrong section, unneeded thread. Is this an S3 kernel? You know that if you set down threshold to10, CPU stays on high frequencies very long? I've got an S1, and most of the games run smooth, so if you guys from S3 get speed problems, there must be something wrong .

Now UV : first 5 : -225mvh and all others -150mvh and it works fine 4 me (Remember al chips are made in a different way so if it dosen work for u try a bit lower. if it wont work it will just reboot to the old values!
The UV does not affect the GPU like some say it does (ULP GPU are using low power it dosent need as much juice as other GPU´s and if my CPU all 4 can hit 1.4Ghz then it cant be a problem with the 520mhz GPU!
So if ur phone lags during gaming or just in general there is something wrong with the ROM or u have installed it wrong
I always make sure i have no data cashe or any thing left when installing a rom dont even restore old apps or data cuz that can be the problem so see u soon with some talkin abou the ViperX 1.0.1 ROM!

Thanks for the reply
To keep Andrei from going crazy with non-development related questions, I've opened the following thread. That way we keep the development thread for development topics and this for general discussion.
Good deal.
First feature request: Fading in/out LEDs! I've pinged the dev for LightFlow, and while he can implement it on a software level, it would be supremely inefficient and probably drain the battery like crazy.

Actually that's something which belongs in the dev thread. If anything you can just post on the issue tracker on Github, I've grown vary of XDA.
There's a new TI LED controller so I can't port the old Philips controls from the old phones. I'll rewrite it eventually but I got other things to do now.

Done, posted on Github!
just got my s4 one day ago. rooted immediately, flashed omega7.0 and the latest perseus. did not touch anything on the u/v in stweak. no o/c as well. but the antutu score is so low 21000+, i thought it at least supposed to be 27000+?
i tried adam kernel, had the same result. is that normal? did i miss anything?

thanks for you response. as i mentioned i got it only one day, without touching anything on u/v & o/c. i guess this is considered lower score than the stock one? i merely care about bench mark, i just want to know is this normal? or i need few days to let it settle down? fyi, i tried more than 10 times and it only score between 20k-21k. perhaps you can be kind enough to give me some idea rather than congrats me.

It is normal for benchmark to be lower than on stock kernel all devices differ. Following the development of this kernel it has been stated that the kernel is not intended for high benchmarks but more for overall stability, smoothness and better battery life.
Benchmarks is just a number and a high benchmark does not always mean your phone is smooth and performs very well under normal user conditions.
Hope this answers your question and should I be mistaken about anything anyone welcome to rectify me on those points.

i never meant that perseus is running low on benchmark, in fact, it's the highest between chainfire's cfroot, wanam's adam. i tried all these 3 kernel, all score only between 19k-21k. i just wonder if i have accidentally limited my cpu speed? i will do a factory reset and re-test it.
again, i dont or merely care about benchmark, i just care if my s4 is running normally.

I have kanged Andrei's response with respect to benchmarks.

Benchmark freaks can enable the boost mode manually: /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/boost_mode .
The first throttling speed is 1400MHz and that's why it spends a lot of time there during benchmarking.
Effectively, overclocking on this device makes very little sense unless you can achieve more thermal headroom with undervolting. I personally couldn't get over 1.8GHz on random loads, and couldn't get over 1.7GHz on benchmarking (Antutu 31300).
Nevertheless, the option is there for people who want to stick their phones into their freezers. For everybody else, stop being concerned about numbers.
This seems to affect only a rare number of people and I still don't know the cause. Just cycle the screen once and be done with it.

did you guys note the download link for perseus alpha 4 rc1 on andrei github? , dont flash it unless you know whats in there
edit: just flashed it (couldnt resist). based on the newer sources it seems, camera works fine with latest cam firmware
lets wait for Andrei release......build seems to be a release candidate....so its should not be for long....

I received mine yesterday, rooted, flashed doc rom to remove bloatware, flashed perseus kernel.
I ran a few antutu and I was getting 27-28k without changing any setting.

@Power, What rom are you running? I suspect it's rom related.
I'm using omega 7, one of the user experienced the same as mine. Going to flash new rom.

From recovery flash Perseus kernel + Camera Fix https://www.dropbox.com/s/20kyqg154h8w198/camera-ISP-fw.MEAplusFix.zip
Then reboot. Your camera should be working.
