Hi guys, reading up on the Eris a little (I have a Moto Droid as my main phone). Got it rooted with 2.1 and flashed over Evil Eris and the LWP/Launcher2 updates and it seems pretty good so far! My question is when is overclocking going to be coming to this phone? Had my Droid clocked at 1.25GHz and it was rockin'! I didn't see a thread on it here (yes, I did search!) so I thought I would make one.
Thanks!
We need HTC to release the 2.1 kernel source first. Can't do any overclocking without that.
Send them an email to nag them.
Apparently No one has modified the system kernals on anything so far, so over clocking isn't available yet... I'm sure a dev is working on it though...

you know it.
Of course the .27 kernel source is available, we've tried that kernel with 2.1 and it doesn't work right, and would take a lot of work to get working right, then more work to overclock. Not worth it really. We need the newer .29 source.
In the weeks ahead I will backport all the drivers from .29 to .27 needed to make it all but camera fully functional as I did with the heroc and have began doing for the gsm hero. Overclockin to 700mhz is possible for the turbo msm7k devices. I have a patch to enable it but there is some sort of conflict in the kernel that sops it from booting. Ramconsole shows it setting the desired clocks but then that's just the end of it. No more messages after that. The source is proven to work on all msm7k CPUs and it just seems to have an issue with something HTC added to our source. I haven't had much time to play with it but I've started a thread on it in the cdma hero forum. U can check there for more details on it. The patch I posted will apply clean to the Eris kernel source and all instructions are there for how to set it up. Anyone who wants to try and see what's causing it not to boot is welcome to. All I ask OS u post it findings in that thread as I would like to get it working and I always share my soutce, findings, and work. I just ask for others to do the same.
source code is easier than you might think
ok since android is linux and therefor open source htc is law bound to give you any source code you want as long as you ask them so if you really want it all you have to do is request it

But, if the version isn't officially released, in regaurds to the Eris, do they still have to release that sourse code?

Supposedly the Hero update will hit April 26th. At least that's what engadget says, so we should also have our update around that time. My guess would be either the same day or slightly later because they keep referring to the Hero and not the Eris.

ok sorry if this is going off topic but i was just curious as to if when overclocking is possible if it is dangerous or risky to overclock i heard u can burn out ur phone if u overclock it too much.

that is possible with most things your overclock. you have to find a nice balance between temp, voltage, and speed. Generally, overclocked cpus tend to have a shorter lifespan. I am not sure on the eris overclocking time frame. I think we need the kernel first?

yeah the cpu in the eris is the same as the hero cpu. ive been working on overclocking the heroc for some time now. the truth is that it can be overclocked to 700mhz max and winmo guys are already doing this. they found a sweet spot with our same cpu in their devices around 600mhz some go a little more. ive been usingtheir work along with my own skills and trying to get it working on native android devices. such as the hero and the eris. its a pain but i believe it can be done. im using the .27 kernel source for the heroc btw. ive managed to port all but the camera driver from .29 to .27. making itfully functional except camera. my hope is to get this working in .27 and possibly merge my changes into .29 6 months from now when HTC feels froggy anyhow yeah u can go and view all my threads ive started and a older patch is on my OC thread, in case anyone here has some C skills. fel free to contact me if u have any questions on it. i havent released my current patch as it isnt finished and im not so sure itll do much more then the one i posted on my thread.

Awesome info! I was just wondering what it could be OC'd too if anyone knew. Good to know the same chip is in other phones so you know what they've pushed it too. What does it run stock? I don't think I've seen it posted anywhere.
So SetCPU doesn't work properly on the Eris, right? I had it running for a while but it always said min = 480, max = 528, no matter what I set it to. Also, the battery was draining FAST! It would die in about 10 hours. I turned it off today and it was at 80% battery left after 10 hours and I didn't notice any difference in performance.

528mhz is stock, 700mhz is max supported. Sweet spot seems to around 600mhz. Battery drain won't be a massive issue as long as we can still use freq scaling

So, are there any overclocked ROMs with the camera?? That would be great!

OK, so I am supposed to read 10,000 pages of random comments about the custom ROMs instead of asking?
I have searched by the way, and found no definitive answer. If it's obvious and you know the answer, why not post "no" or "yes" instead of the wise-ass reply?
And if the answer is not obvious - well, that's why I posed the question.

WOW! That must be new.... there is a search on here?
putting it simply, if there was an overclocked rom with working camera, everyone would copy that and have the same thing. then it would be easy to find one. did you see any roms on the front page with working camera and overclock?
ill hijack this thread...id like to see a stable 2.1 rom with everything working but stripped of sense totally, can it happen?
Only if you run a 1.5 rom.
I released a modified boot.img and wlan.ko that you can patch gumbo 1.5c rom with.
you can find it here http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/10138-gumbo-1-5c-overclock.html
I made it for my own personal use and just put it out there for anyone who might want it. All I did was apply the patch to the boot.img from gumbo 1.5c tweaker edition then flashed it to my phone. I was already running gumbo 1.5c tweaker edition so it has only been tested to work flashed over that.
It most likely would flash just fine over any 1.5 rom, but it will add gumbos custom low memory killer and a script that modifies the cpu scaling. If you use it you can't use setcpu. The rom already does what setcpu does.
If you do want it, flash at your own risk, and make sure to backup first.
I could release an overclocked 1.5 kernel that does not use gumbo, or is based off another rom if there is any demand for it, but I think with 2.1 around the corner, and so many almost fully functional 2.1 roms out there, the only people that would even be interested are those who can't run a 2.1 rom due to audio loss issues. that is not too many.
I heard the iAndroid 4G was found left in a bar incognito... I want one!

no, it won't happen till htc releases the .29 kernel source. though you could overclock and have it on 1.5 working, i'm pretty sure.

im pretty sure pancake 1.5 is already tweaked with gbhil's custom kernel. you can also use autokiller on extreme mode and make that rom fly!

I compiled the oc patch into a 1.5 boot.img based off of gumbo 1.5c tweaker. Post #9 in this thread!
I am getting similar benchmarks as a OC 2.1 rom w/o JIT.
3.1 MFLOPS on linpack
28-29 fps on neocore not killing any tasks
6535 ms on benchmark Pi.
Stock 1.5 rom was
26 fps with all tasks killed
2.36 MFLOPs linpack
10635 ms benchmark pi
Thanks for the info obelisk, justin and obchaos.
Now, was that so hard? ;-)
For the rest of you, just because the search function does not yield an answer does not mean the answer is not out there, now does it?
I had better not see any of you ever posting a question on here ;-)
In any case, I remember 2.1 did not have the camera working for a while, then someone fixed it, right? So it seems that this is not a crazy question to ask.

i dunno about overclocked ones. you could use autokiller off the market to free up a ton of ram. i know setcpu does not work on 2.1
Just been on Linpack and found this
1 41.01 Nexus One 1113.6MHz google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF28/34953:eng/test-keys
Looks like someone is testing an overclocked version of another FroYo release.
Anyone able to shed light on this?
FroYo is FRF44 is it not? Apart from that, it's interesting that there is someone overclocking too.
It's here: http://www.greenecomputing.com/apps/linpack/linpack-by-device/
if this was facebook i would click like, but its not, you get the point
I would say it's an earlier Froyo build.
Weird that it's popped up now, especially with the overclock too.
I wonder if Google are looking at building in an officially overclockable kernel then?
Maybe FRF44 already has it?
Not sure if it's possible but it'd be cool if someone with a build could try running setCPU and see if that kernel can be OC'd.
what's about this : google/passion/passion/mahimahi:Froyo/MASTER/eng.userid.20100310.125342:userdebug/test-keys

That's an internal debug build... built from the FroYo master branch... all final builds have release name like FRF28, FRF44 and are signed with test keys... all release build also have the release names but are signed with release keys
By the way, now that it's out, that was me
I couldn't help flashing pershoot's 1.113OC and jumping to the top of the linpack list
LOL. Unfortunately I've just beat you....with stock speed!

That's okay. It was my first try, I didn't sit there for a half hour getting the best result.
Since Android runs on a linux kernel, can it overclock the processor like the Pre? The Pre 800mhz makes it goes from 500mhz to 800mhz, a 60% increase without killing the battery.
Yes, at least 10%.
Check out the N1 forums. They have a snapdragon as well and, last I checked, have it overclocked to 1.3 ghz I think. Toast released an overclocked kernel for the Hero so I'm sure we can use that same code to overclock the Evo.

In theory you're right as the Evo also uses a qualcomm MSM chipset, but the code will definitely take some finagling. I'm sure toast and maejrep can get it going though.

I'm sorry. Good point. I should not have said exact same code. But regardless, the theory should be the same so we can definitely OC it.
While I know this phone will be the tits, I'd love a fully-functioning AOSP 2.1/2.2 (meaning camera and 4G radio) rom, with an overclock.
The Darchdroid AOSP 2.1 rom for the hero runs so smooth....it's like butter.

It wasn't like butter for me. More like margarine. Less fat but leaves a bad after taste. ha ha. Like I said in other threads I am working on an AOSP port for the Evo so once I get root I can test it and hopefully release it shortly after the 4th. Hopefully we can add some overclocking to that.

Even comparing the fresh toast, to the AOSP rom, the AOSP ran much smoother for me. Both were overclocked to the same speed.
I'll be checking up on your progress, as you definitely have me intrigued. Do you have 4G in your area? I want to make sure 4G is functional, since I'm in the middle of a big ole' pocket of 4G.

Exactly right. And I think the drawback for us on the Hero really was OpenGL 2.0 support. Had we had that in the beginning, it would have been like melted butter
But you take lemons and make lemonade, right?
Ha, even if it doesn't need it, I'd still overclock it. It's really an obsession. I can't help but void any warranty if the situation presents itself.

Quick port of my patches from the N1/Desire, attached are the two relevant files (one for config and one in arch/arm/mach-msm).
You could probably get away with undervolting too, but there is no guarantee that it will go up to 1.267GHz that these patches will allow.

So most of you know that the HD2 can already overclock their phones which isn't fair and, in my opinion, unnecessary, but guess the snapdragons are just easy to overclock...
So when do you think the TP2 might be able to get an overclocker or will it even much be able to be overclocked? I know no2chem was attempting to do it but then he stopped updating his website .
If I can overclock my phone to 800mghz I don't think I'll be switching this phone in anytime soon.

We should start a bounty just like the android forum has! Donations please!
I believe if there was a bounty we could start some development for this and hopefully have a working overclocking tool by the end of the summer!

Once again all my hopes seem to be lost
Has ANYONE ever overclocked the Qualcomm MSM7200A? The CPU may be locked... Although I recall someone saying it can be UNDERclocked.
EDIT: OK, I did some searches. It turns out that the MSM7200A has TWO CPUs, one at 528 (arm11) and one at 256 (arm9). I suspect that this would be difficult to overclock, since the secondary CPU would also have to be overclocked.
The chip has impressive built in capabilities, I had not realized that the graphics support and video was that good. Overall the CPU seems to be built for consistent activity, being sturdy rather than built for speed - other than the 528 Mhz...

This CPU has been effectively overclocked in Android, but to my knowledge not in WinMo so far. The second CPU is the graphics processor and the data processor for calls and stuff(think 3G)
I believe in android people have gotten it to 768Mhz which would be great for Windows Mobile!!

Well, maybe we should ask over in the Android forum - maybe someone who has overclocked there can tell us what he/she changed. People are offering a bounty to the person who can overclock it - so far only $30, but I bet more people would contribute.

The way the CPU is overclocked in Android is super easy compared to an overclock in Windows Mobile, as it only requires a couple lines of text to be changed.

RAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEE
Just kidding
The Dream can barely handle FroYo, I don't know how well it would handle Gingerbread.
Does anyone actually have their G1 running quickly on a FroYo ROM? CM is pretty damn slow.

yes, CM itself can be set up right for once, then are the OTA roms who are with less things...so they run quite good and ofc the AOSP froyo roms.
What setup is needed for CM to be fast? I don't need any features, just speed. If there's a better FroYo ROM for that I'm open to switching.
Gingerbread on the Dream will happen...I have no doubt about that. The question is how well it'll run. If only the Dream had a little more RAM...
Come on man when have we "never" been able to get an update? Im gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say we will still be getting roms for at least another 2 years!

I don't know about that, because I'm pretty sure Honeycomb or whatever they decide to call Android 3.0 has a minimum requirement for 1GHz processor so the Hero, Sapphire and Dream might be out of luck, especially the Hero because they're still stuck with the 2.6.29 kernel. 3.0 might be possible but I doubt 2 yrs of new Android ROMs is plausible.
AOSP gingerbread running on my Dream..
So seems mostly a go.. will require some poking for a true release but not that bad.
If it's not officially supported in AOSP, does that mean we'll be without camera drivers?

This is so great!

check out the 2708 radio+kernels. By switching to the new radios released for the mytouch + kernel with support, you gain back an extra chunk of ram for os use. Definitely helps out froyo builds

camera (with the minimal poking to get it to compile) is working
No release because many bits of this are easy to fix
> wifi works
> camera works
> hw3d I think is working .. but lanuncher/3d gallery/keyboard are running a bit slow .. and we know the port to 2.2 of launcher/keyboard run fine
> bluetooth no-go but that is just because I'm using a sapphire firmware (easy to swap)
> gsensor no go.. I think this will be a relatively easy thing to correct. API change confused it.
Taking a break from testing while I make a repo to work from

Honeycomb (Android 3.0 or 2.4....who knows) will not require a 1Ghz CPU.
Still don't understand why you people want gingerbread so much. The time it takes to get something that was never intended to even be ran on the G1 was at least a year or so and that was only with eclair and froyo. We can't run a lot of things because of the lack of ram like jit. Everything lacks now, even the gpu.
Please stop with all this silly nonsense about Gingerbread threads and just be patient. I have little faith in the project, as most original devs have completely moved onto different devices which are easier. Not saying the new devs are bad, I'm just saying we lost a lot of veteran support on the G1.
Why not just use something fast on your G1 that won't fry it's sockets after 5 hours of use?

People just want to have the newest, and humans like pushing limits (in this case of the G1).

Not only that, look at ezterry's mt3g port of froyo. 2708 radio/kernel + mt3g = hot fastness. Loaded it on two G1s, the gf loves how much faster it is than the other froyo roms we've tried. Probably has to do with the fact ezterry's port is nearly completely stock (it is without the parts update).

(keep hitting thnks buttn by mistake on every post xD)
Anyway I think 2.3 will be too much for the G1/MT3G to handle, it already struggles with 2.2 so 2.3 is over doing it. Battery will not be very good, as most phones with 2.2 now have 512+ ram as the standard. To get the best experience you'll need faster hw to support the effects,apps,etc...2.1 is the furthest i would go w/ a g1, but 1.6 is where the best perf is. I would go with a new phone if you wanna enjoy 2.3.
p.s. not trying to discourage anyone, just stating facts
