As of now, no there is no kernel with OC functionality.

Yeah, just as I thought. Thanks. I mean, it's not that OC is needed for this phone to work fast, but I'm kinda bored so I would like to play a little with CPU & GPU OC.

Apparently qualcomm has hard-locked the snapdragon 400 SoC so that it won't go above 1.2ghz anyway. You could "overclock" it to 2Ghz and see such a speed reported in CPU-Z etc, but in reality it's still only running at 1.2Ghz max.

[Q] Hummingbird Processor fully optimized?

Hi all,
Has our hummingbird processor been fully optimized in gingerbread? Or there are still potentials?

theres a ton of potential
Then why aren't Google keen on optimizing it...

Because it's already optimized? Sure Google could optimize it some more, but they're working on optimizing dual-core processors now.
Best guess is that its already good to run smoothly, any further optimization will be transparent to end users ...
Hope that they do something to get better battery life, and improve web browsing experiencing

[App] Vellamo Mobile Browser Benchmark

This app is for those of you who either loves using Quadrant Benchmark or for those who just want to know how your browser speed stand up to other Android phones. This app can be easily found in the Android Market by typing "Vellamo" so there's no need for me to post the apk. Yes the app is made by Qualcomm, but they claim a Qualcomm processor isn't required so enjoy!

Just for Fun:
My phone scored 687 in the test which seems pretty decent for the stock browser/stock unrooted rom. Check it out and feel free to report your thoughts or score.

G2X running EB 1.05 OC to 1.5 ghz just for fun. Best Quadrant with same setup was 3900.

What is the your browser benchmark score? Its hard to make out in the screenshot you uploaded. Whatever it is, it looks way higher than mine.

Another good benchmark apparently is cf-bench I have retired quadrant since I got this app also try smartbench 2011 it is made for dual core phones and tabs.

Thanks for the tip. I've honestly never used Smartbench 2011. Is it similar to Quadrant? I'm so used to the simple and easy to read layout of Quadrant so I've never tried any other benchmark apps.

Smartbench is way more accurate than Quadrant.

Why do you think that? Is Smartbench more accurate than Quadrant overall or just more accurate for dual core devices?
Edit: I just downloaded Smartbench 2011 and tested it out. I noticed that it tells me two different scores. It tells my phone score and then an android rom score. My phone's score is 3035 and the rom score is 2518. What exactly does these two separate scores mean? I'm used to Quadrant having one overall score.

I think it has to do with your rom functionality not sure exactly. I prefer cf-bench to be honest. It is a much more extensive bench mark and you can save your prior scores.and match them to your current score. I may have used sb 2011 once.

Cf bench? I will definitely test it out and see how it goes.

Overclock to 1.4ghz

Ok I'm wondering how the hell they did this but I ran a quadrant test with antutu and I saw in the scores someone had their skg4 overclocked to 1.4ghz in japan antutu crashed my phone on anything over 1.2....

Don't try to match it. You will cook your phone.

Governor

Are there any kernels with governors built in?

We dont have kernels with governors support because of lack of coding from nvidia i believe.
Someone correct me if im wrong.

Wait, so the powersave/performance governors mean nothing?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I feel that the powersave governor is reducing my battery life. I got the governors by downloading rom toolbox.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I have 2 available governors, powersave and performance. Using Faux's kernel, but in whatever rom I'm on I get those options. Hmmm.

Wrong, we don't have them because tegra 2 does it natively on the chip so it's not necessary

Its not necessary or not possible? I know the Tegra 2 has HW governors, but what if we want to change them? Not possible or just not in demand by the community?

I believe faux stated that since the hardware governors work so well its not on his to do list. Also I'm sure leaving it up to the hardware chip is a lot more efficient then a software override

You do realise that they are ranking the devices according to they CPU frequency,right?

#1 on the first link. I never said it was accurate. The 337 has the same CPU as the 9505 in the first link. That is one website's subjective rating of the phone, and not based on pure benchmarks.
You do realize that the quality of the architecture on a SoC determines how fast it will be? Clock frequency hardly matters in that respect. Its the reason why a Cortex-A15 processor clocked at 1.6 GHz trumps the 1.9 GHz Krait in almost all major benchmarking platforms.
also the s4 doesn't even run 1900mhz more like 1800mhz

It still portrays an accurate thesis in the respect that SoC architecture>CPU frequency.
The title of this thread sounds like the title to a Spiderman comic or something.
