I've an ARM processor which is capable of going upto 600Mhz. But the recent 1.6 to 2.1 update from the manufacturer changed the got the frequency down-scaled at 480Mhz.
I've rooted my Android phone, and now even if I try to set the maximum frequency anything beyond 480MHz using SetCPU using the slider, the "current max frequency" shown in green-color, refuses to go beyond 480MHz.
I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that the current kernel which came with the update doesn't allow frequency to go beyond 480Mhz.
So, can anyone help me, with how to change the frequency back to 600Mhz?
No one can help!!
Atleast can anyone help me identifying the current ROM for my phone?
And since this is an uncommon phone, I would like to know, how to determine which ROMs I can I try on this device?
Perhaps you should provide some useful information. You haven't even identified the phone in question and you expect people to tell you what ROMs/kernels you can run.
I bet it's the Optimus Boston a.k.a. Gigabyte GSmart G1305 "Codfish".
I spent some time searching and couldn't find quite what I was looking for so if such a thread exists, please slap me.
This isn't something I would be able to compile however It would be pretty informative if we could get a thread going that has benchmarks for each android device. Both stock and over clocked CPU speeds.
Not too sure if anyone would be up to the task but it would make research for devices pretty interesting. Especially those devices that may have a slower clock speed stock but are OC monsters...
Firstly, I'll apologise if this is in the wrong section.
Secondly, I apologise you've had this question asked dozens of times and I know there's threads right above where I'm typing.
Onto my question.
I'm fairly new to things with mobile phones as I've been stuck on the Symbian SE Satio for the last two years.
I've just rooted my SE Xperia Play (UK Region, so R800i iirc?) and I'd like to flash to the kernel/rom (Don't crucify me) that works correctly ; In that I'm able to use my camera and Wifi (Or at least, have the ability to with further flashing) and allow me to overclock my Snapdragon.
The reason I'm wanting to overclock the phone, is such games like GTA 3 have a stuttering issue, I'd wager it's down to the lowish specs of the phone and hope clocking the CPU could remove that stuttering, as from reading around it seems the snapdragon has quite some headroom (I've seen 2GHZ being branded around, though I'm more than happy with 1.6GHZ, though 2GHZ wouldn't go amiss )
Since I'm new to phones, when I overclock the CPU, would that then overclock the GPU with it? Or is their a way to overclock the GPU? (I've also seen that branded around before)
Now, onto the overclocking, I see kernels/roms such as doomlords, but reading through instructions I'm getting absolutely bamboozled and losing track.
I've done DOS flashing before with GPU's, if it's anything like that at all? (Again, don't crucify me yet!)
Cheers.
Hello everyone, I hope this question has not already been done ... definitely not for my device ... may sound silly but it is something that I wonder when I changed my galaxy Splus:
As can be exploited to overclock a processor?
I go there very cautious but having a sigle core only 1400 mhz to play games that require I use it up to 1800 MHz.
it actually hurts the processor and it reduces the life of the same?
Thanks to those who want to clarify this question ...

Dear XDA people,
Im currently working with Max's V4 RC2 kernel in combination with Cromi-X 4.6.9 (still need to update to the latest), which gives me a pretty smooth working tablet.
Now, im running the cpu at 1900mhz, 1225mV (still testing if i can go lower), and I can adjust speed and voltage nicely with Trickster Mod.
But, I would wan't to crank up the gpu speed (which is currently 666mhz I think?) and have the same "options/settings" available to do so. For example, a rom limitation of 750/800mhz on the gpu, with a variation of voltages to choose from. This way I can get as much gpu power as possible, since i find gaming on the tf700 pretty disappointing in terms of performance (of course a lot of games are not optimized for tegra).
Do you guys know what would be the best possible solution to overclock/adjust the gpu speed+voltage?
Thanks!

I think 666mhz GPU setting is probably reserved for Satans minions. At the moment the only way to control GPU speed is by adjusting the voltage. This is easiest using hunds kernel (3.1 if you have problems with 3.2) and his app. Together, you can crank the GPU all the way up to 775MHz and fry some eggs on the back of your TF700 and waiting for it to go into nuclear meltdown.
I know the gpu runs hot, thats why I want to see what speeds can be achieved with limited voltage. So you‘re saying the only way to change gpu speed is by setting a higher voltage for it? Why is that exactly?

You've posted this in the wrong forum, so it will be deleted, in the mean time there is really no reason to use 1900mhz even less so while gaming. 1700mhz at max (it can go higher but you wont see much change/ if at all in benchmarks/ games but u'll see the difference in battery life)
As for gpu i run 750 mhz but again the difference between 650 - 750 mhz is hardly noticeable, gaming performance isn't great on the tf700, the tf300t doesn't look as good but its noticeably smoother with 3d
Moral of the story the tegra 3 gpu isn't powerful enough for 1920x1200 the tegra 4 wont be much better, the tegra 5 is the interesting one

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Unless you want to learn to create kernels and do all the magical voodoo these wizards do to bring us OC kernels!

I have no idea, been wondering that myself. I even posted the question somewhere about a week ago, but no one enlightened me. I really reccomend using hunds kernel and app though. There is a "gaming" option in his app that works very well, good speed without the ominous red glow of molten metal on your TF700's back panel.

Are you saying increasing gpu voltage will subsequently increase gpu frequency? (i have no idea how it works, ive never bothered to look into it but now im interested) _that or Hunds will know but im guessing if thats the case freq and voltage must be linked in a voltage table but i would have thought freq could be changed independently to voltage

I know the tf700 isnt much of a gaming tablet unfortunately, but then again, why not setting it up so that it runs games as smooth as the hardware will allow ? Every small improvement is an improvement if you ask me.
For 750mhz gpu, what kernel are you using?

I'm using hundsbuahs latest kernel, the problem with tegra CPUs is thermal throttling, it starts around 72c on a lot of devices (not sure about the tf700) at 1900 you could find worse gaming performance than a lower cpu / GPU clock speed. Its completely up to you, hundsbuahs kernels give users a lot of flexibility as they can push the devices to the limit, I like _that's kernels personally they suited to my usage (what ever that means)
