Vogue GPU overclock
Changes that were made can be found here
That's a MSM7k device, we have a MSM7kA device which has a slightly higher stock GPU clock at 256mhz(actually the driver lists it at 128mhz, lol wtf) compared to the non A devices 128mhz(downclocked to 100mhz).
Chances of a few small edits gettings this to work? likely.

The GPU in the 7x00A is very similar to the one in the 7x00 so it should be possible but you will need to talk to your kernel devs to add this functionality.

I'll tinker around but I would love multiple people on this
EDIT: Whoops, wrong forum. Can a MOD move this to Development?
Holy...
Why even buy an EVO? This, plus AOSP, plus overclock CPU.... Then we'll undervolt it (which I'm surprised hasn't happened yet given that the EVO already has undervolted ROMS).... I love my Hero and I love this community
where do we get this and how do we apply it. Good work on this find decadence
Im looking into this right now.. But im so tired its not even funny. This will give me something to do with my time off tomorrow.
Ill compile a kernel with it undervolted as well and see how well it works when booted. I think i actually have one somewhere on my linux boot up.
anything further on this?

If anything, can you try and get the undervolt first? It would be nice to have more battery life before killing it all on an OC GPU xD But I'm glad to know that it shouldn't be too hard

YES!!!! I'm going to try this ASAP. Is it a flashable zip or no? And does the cpu still scale (can OC)? Sorry Im tired haha.
Edit
nvm that. I just flashed it, and according to uname -a, it is #15 like you said. So far, the boot's fine. Any way I can check the undervolt is working?
Aaaaaaaand she booted xD Nice work Darch!
I'm very excited by this prospect. Like had been said, why buy an evo, especially when it's capped at 30 fps. I bet we get close to 40 with this!

I am getting 21.7 FPS with this kernel. But I am not sure that he has done a whole lot to it to make it go Zoom Zoom.
so i flashed this over buufed 2.0b, hopefully it works i'll let you know results
well i flashed and booted up fine,
while running this for 10 minutes my battery took a **** on itself, dropping 6% in under 10 minutes of extremely light use. gahhhhhhhh

Ok well I figured where our driver identifies the clock settings:
But i'm not sure where the settings come from?
http://github.com/darchstar/CdMa-HeRoC-2.6.29/blob/master/drivers/video/msm/gpu/kgsl/kgsl.c
Line 130:
Code:
static void kgsl_clk_enable(void)
{
clk_set_rate(kgsl_driver.ebi1_clk, 128000000);
clk_enable(kgsl_driver.imem_clk);
clk_enable(kgsl_driver.grp_clk);
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_MSM7227
clk_enable(kgsl_driver.grp_pclk);
#endif
}
Then kgsl.h would contain the struct for this: http://github.com/darchstar/CdMa-HeRoC-2.6.29/blob/master/drivers/video/msm/gpu/kgsl/kgsl.h
If I'm not mistaken.

I dont think darch could do it.. He is smart and can figure a lot out. But we would either have to do a lot of trial and error or get toasts to look into it. He still does small work on the hero and im sure what he learns from the hero he could implement it to the Evo.

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.
If you really want to be the first one to get over 1Ghz of super duper processing power from your HD2, i suggest you use Pocket Hack Master
Remember, neither the developer of this app nor anyone at xda-developers is responsible if you somehow manage to f*** it up, also, the latest version was built in 2008

Won't hardware benchmarks always be the same between all ROMs?
Is there a way to objectively benchmark resource management? Speed of the interface, opening apps etc.
i didnt see the last one but id like to see benchmarks like on te gsm roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656818
Also the following for benchmarking:
For 3D Performance
* Qualcomm's "NeoCore" 1.9.18 - Measured in FPS
For 2D Performance
* Softweg's "Benchmark" 1.03 - Measured by an internal score
* "Lag test" - Originally to measure 2D performance for Motorola Droid users. Measured in FPS
For CPU Performance
* Linpack for Android - Measured in MFLOPS
All of the tests mean: The higher, the better.
The method of testing was the usual flashing, a couple of reboots to make sure every caching necessary was done and the average of 3 benchmark of each test.

And it's also 1.5 which makes it irrelevant for these tests.
Someone should come out with a rom, with JIT enabled.
Then they can claim they have the fastest rom.
I had it running on dc 2.7.2 without any problems.. Just cant use anything HTC, like lockscreen or sense.
But nexus or helix launcher and beautiful widgets, everything is normal again.
JIT is too buggy still, im looking foward to playing with compcache when someone gets 2.6.29 source working

I agree its not perfect.. But i can use it on my daily rom and run every app I would on a normal day without an issue.
Before dc 2.06 came out, i ran it on dc 2.05 for 3 days straight.'
I dont use bluetooth or some other random things. So it would probably start 101 problems for some people.. Like theres not enough already.
Hey guys whats the max overclock that the Aria can be set to? I had CM6 on mine and had the overclock widget from the market and the max that the sliders went to was 600... But I have Liberty FR008 on it now and i still have the overclock widget but the max that the sliders goes to now is 864... I tried overclocking to 864 but it froze and something went wrong so i had to flash a backup i made. My overclock options right now are 245, 400, 480, 600, 768, 787, 806, 825, 844, & 864... Has anyone tried to over clock the Aria past 600? and did you have any problems with it? Thanks for any help.
-Cpl. T. King
I dont think the cm6 kernal allows for over clocking. I have the latest liberated rom and overclocked to 806 which is the recomended max setting by the dev.

Use the search button. The safe zone is 806.

The CM 6.1 kernel most certainly does support over-clocking. The CM 6.1 kernel was used as the basis for the Liberated FR008 kernel.
Maybe I was thinking about 6.0. Whatever one I had, I could only over clock to 600.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
6.0 didn't allow overclocking, 6.1.1 does though. I overclock my Aria to 806mHz and underclock it to the lowest setting when the phone's screen is off so I don't tire out the processor. 806mHz is really good, it puts the phone at the level of the G2 or the Shift 4G...and because I usually run Edge w/3G when downloading, WiFi if available, my battery is really good. Probably about 14 hours of normal (good) usage.
I wouldn't overclock it higher, you risk burning the processor out.
I'm OCd to 825 on-demand and the phone runs very nicely. 245 when screen off
825 is not recommended I don't think. 806 seems to be the sweet spot.

Suit yourself. Just saying 806 is the sweet spot for most people around here. I've gotten force closes and reboots at 825. We don't need your attitude
Then it seems like your particular phone can't handle 825. I suggest people try it on both. every phone is different. Just don't be stupid about it. When using the phone as a gps, under clock it. under clock when screen off. and over clock on demand and I'm fine on 825. never seen any issue.
"Suit yourself." I think that was the point of his post. His phone and usage of it OCd at 825 is good for him. He was just stating an answer to the OP. No reason to go around telling him he's wrong..
Anyways, not trying to start a OC war... because that would be ridiculous (-ly funny I might add).
As for myself, when I did OC my processor, 825 didn't effect my phone's performance, but it did make it extremely hot after a bit of use. So it's up to your phone and how you want to handle your phone. I don't really need the OC anymore though; I just stick with 600 (;

Downsides are less battery life (may be a lot or not) and not going as fast as it would be if you were OCd. It may also heat up more.

Overclocking is not necessary at all. We just recently became able to overclock. If you are satisfied with the speed/fluidity of your phone, then there is no need to overclock. The downsides would be less battery life (cpu running faster), and if you push your phone too hard (overclock stupidly), you run the risk of burning out your cpu. your phone should not be getting hot.

It's not necessary. It's pretty damn cool to make the little Aria have a processor as fast as the one in the G2 though.

Dude overclocking is safe you must be pretty new at this. Well there's diff kernels you could flash over your current SENSE sprint lovers rom to give it more kick to play your game. That game requires really high end phones with better gpu's. Give your evo that extra boost man for games like that.

in sum, yes, it can be done, and can be safe, if done right, but the risks are possibly not worth the %10-20 "performance increase". for me, battery drain, overheating, not worth it. but like DD mentioned first, perhaps better to just flash a AOSP based rom, something that's going to be faster "just because" then to force the CPU to work harder.
The Evo's gpu (Adreno 200) is underpowered. That's why you don't see it on the recommended list. They are suggesting at least Andreno 205 which include G2, DesireHD, even the Evo Shift. I've had this game too and tried overclocking, but it's just gpu limited. There's no difference. Don't get me wrong the game will run, but I don't see it playable at 20 fps IMO. I'm gonna save this game for my next device. I'm a bit disappointed too.
