I was wondering if it was at all possible to overclock the CPU of the MyTouch 3g without getting root. This would be great because I don't know what I'm doing in terms of root. And, I assume increasing clock speed will reduce lag in SNESoid.
you need root to overclock, id just close as many programs as possible before running an emulator.
How do you overclock the MyTouch or Magic 32B?
I know they make an app in the market for overclocking. (SetCpu) Or something like that. It was to my understanding that 528mhz wasn't overclocked for the Magic 32B? Is it possible to overclock from the SDK on my computer. Just used this to partition my SD card. (Swap=128,Ext3 to Ext4) Used sdparted and it was pretty simple. Is there a simple way to overclock the mytouch? UTIL? What is the clock speed of the mytouch now and what is a stable clock speed to overclock to?
if you can pull your user.conf file via adb you can overclock like that.

Is there a link that has a step-by-step for updating the user.conf file to do this? I'll try search around for one in the meantime, but I think it would really add to this thread to have a guide for Noobs like myself. Thanks for your time and reply.
Ok so this is a way I figured out how to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581328
This is an app that can edit the user.conf file.
I'd still kind of like to know how to do this from the SDK if anyone knows?

I'm already rooted. Sorry I didn't clarify. I'm running Cyanogen's ROM on my phone right now. I've tried to run several Hero ROM's in the past but, they seem too laggy. I thought this may be that I'm not running optimal settings on my phone for Hero. I'd just like to see what my phone does at it's peak to see if it would run Hero smoothy. In the end though I just think it would be neat to see just how far I could push my phone.
ok so u have root, and u wanna OC ur Mytouch 3G? right? so u already know about the overclock widget in the appstore. it allows you to overclock ur phone. 528mhz is the speed of the processor but it doesnt always run at that clock speed, only when it needs too when doing something intensive. so you want to go beyond that? i dont recommend it, but if u want, there is a way. if you download that app, overclock widget, and open it, you can set your own frequencies and see how far ur phone will go. i wouldnt get to crazy with it tho, u can do some real damage. does this make sense? if not, PM me and ill help u out further. good luck!

No this is what I needed to know. I thought the processor for the MT3G might be a little better than the one for the G1 and be able to run faster than 528mhz stable. I really don't want to ruin my phone it's the best phone I've ever had. I've used overclock widget and SetCpu in the past. I didn't know if there was a way to do this from the SDK? I guess it's easier to download an app than to run the SDK on my computer, but I thought it might be possible.

well dude sometimes i feel tht the processor is way too slow .so i feel tht this might help
Battery Status is the best program for it in my opinion, overclocking may reduce battery life, and you have the risk of overheating the processor and cooking it, which is not covered by warrenty!
Before you start doing this, i would suggest you see how much free RAM you have, which is also shown with Battery status, or under Settings.
Making sure programs actually close, and are not just minimised can also help.
hey dude but can u tell me the procedure in detail?
i see no option there.

seems like winmo ppl arent as enthusiastic about there developing.
Comin from the android forums....where is the love for winmo..or is there any...
new ****s comin out daily for android.
id love to get an android port goin for my leo, itd b a much more beautiful piece of technology
At the same time, there's still no decent multi format video player on android... and that actually matters a lot more than overclocking a few MHz
True, multimedia is more serious, but (i know, i know here goes) the Droid is overclockable to nearly double it's clock speed and still remains kinda stable. If the HD2 could even be overclocked just 300-400mhz it would really be insane. The Nexus is already being pushed, why not push the HD2?
sounds like one quick way to have a very expensive paperweight,
1ghz is more than enough for what is primarily a telephone. perhaps if applications were followed more, updated, improved etc etc and took efficent use of the hardware availible then overclocking wouldn't even enter your mind.
overclocking should stay in home computers (its cheaper to fix ) i see no reason to attempt to get an extra 1mhz out of a phone worth £470 only to see it exhale a small puff of smoke and turn into 50pence worth of scrap...
get involved with the development of the apps you use, make them better, thats the way forward

what's a pence? is that like a penny? jk jk lolol...there are safeguards built into every chip to prevent it from going over the engineering redline. so if you do go too far...and ignore the signs (and there will be plenty) then shame on the operator for being a dumb-a**...to each his own...
lol thats true, im sure some overly keen 'clocker will no doubt prove us wrong... many moons ago i did overclock my i-mate JAM another 50mhz or so in order to gain and extra few fps when watching .wmv movies... the battery life was shocking though!
oh, and a 'pence' is a completely pointless denomination of currency...several thousand years of social evolution and we still use coins???

it scales as required. this was much discussed in regards to the 1ghz hack.

Hello
I have the Sprint Hero, am running the Aloysius ROM (last update that came out).. I have been using the SetCPU, but everytime i turn the screen off and then on again, all the values reset themselves to 245mhz max and min, down from the 528mhz/480mhz it was originally set to..
Why in the world does it keep doing this??? Its getting seriously irritating, and slows down the phone tremendously when trying to answer calls that come in while in sleep..
check your profiles. there is one for sleep/screen off. Probebly your problem. If not, then uninstall/reinstall.

you aren't supposed to use setcpu with android 2.1
I don't think Aloysious has the overclocking kernel. You'd need it to manually adjust the frequency.

Ahhh Ic.. There in lies the problem...
Thanks.. I actually do prefer the Aloysius 1.0 over the 2.0 versions he has out.. It seemed to run much smoother, especially in screen transitions and just operated much smoother...
Will be going back to the 1.0 tonight...

Thats correct... FLIPZ does a great job of explaining in more detail about what setcpu does and how it works or (lack there of) in the Setcpu vs OverClock Widget section and he also explains that it may be the new sprint radio that could be the cause for slowing things down in >ANDROID DEVELOPMENT > 05/18/10 l FRESH TOAST v2.1 l BFS + OVER CLOCK.....im a noob to the site so cant post links
use the Overclock widget with 2.1
So, as the title says this is a poll about phone over clocking.
Who's phone is capable of overclocking and who's isn't?
My goal is to find out if there is a way to tell if you can overclock or not based on the phones s/n.
Procedure:
So pick the proper answer on the poll, then if you could please make a post saying whether you can or cannot overclock along with your s/n.

I cannot and my serial number is HT03GHF05302 JV002-00 D.
my hero can, yes
I tried several methods of OCing, and finally found one that works for me on another site. I'll PM it to you since I don't know what the rules are on posting links to other sites here.
In short, yes I can, but only using a certain method.

been oc since Toast released his kernel, but I do still get the random fc on incoming calls once or so a week. its annoying but if the call was important they leave a message. The difference in speed is worth it.
OC to 768 with no issues.

D3fault sent me the link and now I can OC up to 710 (768 freezes me). Before he sent me the zip file for the OC stuff I could not run any OC ROM's, no overclock widget, or setcpu. Now I can run overclock widget (LWP flies now) and setcpu. Still can't get all OC'd ROM's to load but it is worlds better than it was.
Lastly, I do get some heat though, oh well.
Here is the link for those who can't get their hero to overclock, try this (courtesy of D3fault, not me). Download and add to your SD, flash, download overclocking program of choice (I really like the OC widget in the market) and done.

Ummm, why do you want my S/N #??? My hero is oc'ed an loving it.. depending on what rom i use that day..some get hot, some FC some things...but a few are flawless fer me with a lil tweek here an there
Overclocked to 710 (too squemish to get the higher kernel) and though it sucks through battery like no tomorrow, and the fact that... well.. it didn't speed any lag in the os itself, games and graphics work a hell of a lot quicker!
ROM - Bittersweet v1.2/stock radio/using DialerOne/LauncherPro
Kernel - Toast-godmode OC .29 kernel for DamageControl/based roms
Neocore:
1.5 - 12fps
2.1 - 24/28fps
w/oc kernel - 30/32.8fps
@lokipipin, the OC wants to find if there is a correlation of phones serial number differences to the freq. of people who can't overclock (i.e. it could be a revision, or even a ****ty batch of pcbs or something, and that could be tracked by s/n)

Well, there's not much i can do with your serial number that will harm you, so don't worry. But i'm looking to find a correlation between serial numbers and chip revisions, which would in turn let us know based on serial number if you can OC and etc.
We did this with the PS3 world a long time ago and it was pretty helpful, i'm surprised no one did it sooner.
And only based off the two that i have already, i can say that maybe the D batch was manufactured with lower quality chips. But that's only based off of two results, just imagine if i had more to compare.

Obviously the actual credit for that goes to person who posted it over at Android Central, beezy420. It's worked for me and several others so it's worth a shot if nothing else works for you.
I flashed it to my rooted stock 2.1 and it worked, so give it a shot.
yes my hero is OC'ed with 710
So far I have only tried to OC my Hero once. I did it with Zen's MT3G ROM and it worked, but it definitely created some heat. I think with that one it was OC'd at something like 691. Like I said, phone worked, but it DEFINITELY heated up a LOT more than normal. I can't easily access my s/n right now, so I'll have to update this post when I can.
I can OC to 787 or higher. Been running OC since day one of toast first release 1-2months ago. I have made a few kernels for myself with 787 and once with one a step higher, all booted fine with no reboots.

I am running CM6 A013 with oc-legend-cm-2.6.29.6 kernel. Everything seems to be working just fine except for the wifi. Has anyone gotten the wifi to work with the oc kernels?
I read in another thread that we could take the wlan.ko file from an old ROM. Does anyone have a copy of this file or would anyone be willing to pull the file so that I can test it? I really appreciate it.
same situation here. neither kernels work with cm6's wifi and hotspot. can someone fix this please! i really want my wifi back! i didnt do a backup before hand!
Im looking at this and it looks easier than just replacing the entire kernel like you guys did, read here from that guy's post above:
"How to do it for kernel_legend_13be9c9c:
At first, you should read zanfur's post and his patch.
I just modified two tables in acpuclock-arm11.c excluding his having written.
1. modify cpufreq.c to let SetCPU to access freq tables
2. modify acpuclock-arm11.c to let HTC Legend be able to overclocking
3. modify msm7227_defconfig to disable PERFLOCK [optional]
You might not need modify defconfig when you use SetCPU which can purchase in Android Market.
SetCPU can disable PERFLOCK by setting. ([menu] -> [Perflock Disabler])"

So, with that said, I would take that file or file(s) and replace them with the ones in our current kernel made for our phone... might work and your wifi won't be broken.
You guys are running a kernel made for a different device.
could some one say in plain english the exact steps to get the old kernel back? the one from CM6

That kernel is not built for our wifi chip. The kernel needs to be built for the BCM chipset and not the TI. Further, the wifi module needs to be in sync with the kernel build. Android 101.
I am not sure what we are going to gain from overclocking. There just doesn't seem to be any end goal, other than bragging rights on a benchmark where the Aria can only hope to be among the best of the mediocre CPUs. If it's for flash - forget it. We don't have the instruction set required in the CPU. The downside is the potential to add instability and confuse test results for mods that can actually increase functionality.
I like overclocking and running a couple benchmarks once in a while. For day to day use I'm more interested in downclocking but only if it can increase battery life.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
the extra speed of the OC makes a big different on the games, that's the reason I like it... Games run smoother with the OC kernel.... do the test.. try to run Abduction with the stock Kernel for a while and then with the OC.. you'll see the difference... also Live Wallpapers with the stock kernel is choppy... it is smooth with the OC.
Hell my nexus one has been over clocked since the day I got it (rooted that same day ) not that a 1ghz phone really needs it. Well the Nexus One maybe for gaming but my Captivate and Vibrant on the other hand doesn't need it period. You won't get better performance gaming with any other android handset out there to date. Still my Captivate is over clocked to 1.2ghz lol. Like I say there's something fun about pushing the limits.
It really just another thing to tweak and play around with on your device. It's always fun to push the limits.
There are several reason why I would like to overclock. 1. The 3D photo gallery loads photos really slow with the stock kernel, but with an overclocked kernel the pics loaded very quickly. 2. It's nice to run a 3D game or two without chopping. Just to name a couple. It would be nice to have an Aria kernel that works with all of the phones hardware. And showing off benchmark number is nice as well.
