[DEV] Overclocking the GPU !!

Take a look at this link
The GPU has been overclocked to 200 MHZ result from stock 25 fps to 36.5...
The desire(+-27FPS neocore) has the AMD Z430 GPU wich is also on the acer Liquid running at much higher 34,6 FPS @ the same resolution 800x480 but UC cpu768 MHZ although it still preforms much higher on neocore !
I'm sure that some of you developers with the knowledge are prepared figuring this out to get the desire GPU preforming better !..
(tnx to beidl) for those who're trying to find the changes: http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/m...8a6a0dfe5ba912

The Snapdragon Processor holds the CPU and GPU in one chip... i dont know if youre able to do that...
EDIT: maybe changing some clocking and voltage values in kernel???

More performance can somehow be squeezed out of it tho. Its just not good enough with the power it holds

I don't think people that wants to get the best benchmarks.... care? lol goto maximum overclocking.... possilbey higher than 1.27GHz..... after you benchmarked and got your name in the list.... go back to UVOC lol

lol, well if Richard would like to make a temporary kernel that would restore the volt and try 1.4GHz maybe more. HTC Desire could be getting the No.1 spots in benchmarking

for those who're trying to find the changes: http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/...;hpb=110e73c591db3fd23d8558659f8a6a0dfe5ba912
looks like only some parameters and 2 functions (pc_clk_enable and pc_clk_disable) were changed.
I don't have much experience with kernel developing, I'm just a stupid java dev. lol
But I'd like to see this added to the 2.6.32.9 kernels, and since we would be able to
change the clock frequency somewhere in /sys/module/clock/, something like a "SetGPU" would be a nice project to do.

I use mine @1.8ghz no stability problem, no fc, i use Cygic Aura ( 3d gps) and no issue..
But this frequency is very high, use @ your risk !
Usualy a 1.4Ghz is a good mix between performance & security

do you notice a lot more battery drainage ?

No especially, but with in gps activity the phone is plugged in my car.
Otherwise i make 2days with few calls, sms and 2G data connection for weather and news reading.

Little tips : remove the cap of the battery BEFORE your tests ;-) in case the phone crash it's to easy for pull down the battery & reboot ;-)

1.4-1.5ghz is the max if you dont want to damage your processor
anything above 1.5ghz is very risky & gives hardly any performance boost
but mostly 1.2ghz is more than enough

I agree with that, anything over around 1.4 wrecks the CPU. The higher MHz are for Development testing and need not be used day to day.

There is an antenna in that "cap" as you call it, and there appears to be an issue with battery movement and the eMMC chip, you shouldn't remove the cap at all with the phone on to help prevent this.

Sorry to sort of ride a bit off topic here, but what do I need (programs) and what would I need to do to be able to overclock?
If it's S-OFF or Rooting, I can go find the guides

first s-off then root the device then install a custom kernel that supports overclocking the use setcpu(from the market) or a similar program
you can control the frequency from setcpu
you can refer this guide
@alain.duchateau try running the device at 1.3ghz i have never had even one crash on this frequency

ok inside system/ect there is a file called "init.qcom.post_boot.sh" delete it, then reboot and all of your settings will stick.

Depending on which governor you choose. Scary seems to really keep tabs on it well. I'm at 1900/245 and when I run Scary the battery doesn't run down at all. I'm not a fan of the performance though, as it is too slow to react sometimes. Still working on the others, so no solid opinions yet.

I don't see why you would underclock your phone that slow... 245 is way too slow for a phone made to run default at 1ghz. You'll have screen wake issues and uber response problems... duh.. I don't see why ppl turn their smartphones into expensive paperweights just so they can extend battery life. I'd rather have a phone that computes efficiently than one that doesn't even want to process. 600 MHz min is just fine.
Sent from my Triumph using Tapatalk

245 would be the minimum clock speed, not the maximum My guess is that when your phone is asleep, it would use as little resources as possible.

[ROOTMOD] Kernel Adjustments v1 [STICKYME]

I've taken the liberty to root my GS4 and have some time spent on tweaking kernel parameters.
For these settings you need to be rooted and have downloaded a kernel tweaking app, such as Trickster Mod.
I believe these settings should make some pretty significant changes to your experience.
Follow the screenshots for the configurations:

Any heat issues?

Still testing. I am charging the device now and I'll report later but i'm guessing hardly anything noticeable.

Thanks for the post!
I am however curious about the use of ZRAM as this phone should easily have enough built in RAM to where that is not needed..
ZRAM generally gets used when a system is RAM deficient.. ZRAM will also be noticeably slower than using the built in RAM as well...
Looking forward to you reporting back..

I think you may be confused about ZRAM.
ZRAM is used for swapspace instead of placing the swap on the "disk" it is placed in RAM for a performance boost.

I don't think I am confused... Why use swap space for RAM when this phone already has plenty?
Then again, I may be confused..

Indeed. Just hit the menu capacitive button to get to the menu pictured below:

Your menu looks so different in terms of the interactive controls... I have none of those values or menus but an even longer list.
Why does your say you have power savings enabled? Why not turn power savings completely off? I still run my galaxy for like 2 days with Music playing like an 8 hour day.

Been running this since last night..
I am not really noticing any difference but will keep testing..
Disclaimer:
I already had 101 apps / processes frozen, animations set to zero, force GPU enabled and am using a different launcher. I think most, if not all, of my lag was done away with by doing that..

On the general settings, after you've selected interactive you have to hit the check mark on upper right. Then click governor control at the bottom, you should see the interactive settings.
