Overclock Over 998Mhz

Hi!! Im try overclock my evo to get over 998mhz. My phone it rooted with Unrevoked 3 and when i try over clock with SETCPU 1.6 or last version, also Overclock Widget . Both doesnt go over 998mhz.
Anything i need to do, to get over 998mhZ at least 1.1?
Ps: I got hw 003, when i used hw 002 take me over 998mhz

You need a custom kernel brosef.

What you recommend me to get a custom Kernel? Please xda reference

I got it custom kernel and work fine. I got 1190MHZ now and i got a benchmark MFLOPS 8.202 Time: 0.66 seconds.
Its good?

You need a custom kernel... but you also need full root to get that

Easiest way to overclock

What is the easiest way to overclock, I know that a different kernel is needed to overclock, but does overclocking require a completely new ROM
Thank You!

You only need a new kernel if you're running stock froyo.
There's a lot of apps on the market that offer overclocking (SetCPU is a nice one)

Easiest way to overclock is choosing cm7. No extra apps or kernels needed. It has inbuilt oc kernel and options for setting CPU frequency. And greater stability at higher clocks too.

Sorry to be a pain; do you have an idea of which kernel I should use?

Some other user might give better info, since I'm not using an HTC Sense based rom/stock.

[Q] SetCPU - Cannot Overclock?

I'm running the rooted Gingerbread v2.3.4 with S-OFF. I purchased and installed SetCPU from the market thinking I could overclock. Everything appears to be capped at 1 GHz. Maybe I have misunderstood the capabilities of SetCPU? Do I need to install a different kernel to overclock?

you would have to flash a different kernel to be able to overclock past 1ghz. since youre using Sense, Id recommend Darkside SENSE v7

OK. How would I go about backing up my current kernel or if I wanted to revert back, would I just reflash the original ROM?

Yes, back up the whole ROM, and revert to it if different kernel won't work.

Do the backup in recovery.

Thanks for the help.
I've been researching the one mentioned kernel as well as some of the other options. I'd really like to know what your opinions are on thederekjay's v2.6.35.14 demonspeed v7 kernel vs. faux123's v0.0.9? I'm wanting to keep as close to stock as possible - I'm just looking for the ability to overclock. Are there any others I should be looking at?

I'd go with the Darkside kernel. Its newer and you can use apps like incredicontrol or OC/UV beater to undervolt it. No offense to faux. He makes a great kernel. I just had better success with Derek's kernel.

go with demonspeed v7, its more updated and probably has a lot less bugs/more optimizations than Faux's because I dont think he devs for the mt4g anymore, so there hasnt been any updates. You can also try out the UNITY kernel by the Virtuous Team, great kernel as well

I'm having trouble locating this kernel by itself. If anyone has a link, that would be much appreciated. I can only find the entire ROM. Also, in the technical notes, I read this...
Virtuous overclocking daemon will automatically be disabled if an overclocking tools (such as SetCPU or CPU Tuner) is installed. Installing these tools is not advised, as the virtuous_oc daemon responds far more rapidly to screen state changes than any Android (Java) application.

I'm not familiar with the virtuous_oc daemon but it sure sounds like what I need to use. Any experiences with this vs. SetCPU?

Found a link to Unity v10 in the Unity v9 thread. Lol.
This is for the daemon:

This is the app to adjust the daemon's settings as well as voltages:

Forget setcpu with this setup.

Thanks for the links. I gather from the kernel filename, virtuous_kernel_comb_v10_from_beta2.zip, that v10 is still in beta? I think I read that v10 development has been abandoned. Is that your understanding? I certainly could be wrong. I've read so many threads in the last few days my eyes are crossing!

Not sure. I never really used unity, as I wasn't in the mood for sense for about a year. Don't be afraid of a beta kernel. If you don't like it, just flash v9.
I hate to be a turd, but if you could hit the thanks button I'd be... Thankful. Lol
I only have 4 because I don't push it. BTW, you can PM me anytime. I'll help if I know how.

[Q] Arc S ICS Overclock Method

Anyone knows how to overclock Xperia Arc/ Arc S with android 4.0.3?
it would be wonderful if it can be done like in 2.3.4.

Depends on the kernel you use..! And use setcpu or no frills cpu control.

my kernel version is the original one.. -> 2.6.32.9-perf
ive tried setcpu n it stuck on 1401Mhz which is the actual processor speed of Arc S..
i was wondering is there got any specific data to do the ICS overclock because i went thru internet to check and sadly most of the time i only got the method to overclock for 2.3.4.. there is no real way to overclock 4.0.3 android for arc s yet thru internet i supposed?

To overclock you need to use a custom kernel. With Stock/Original kernel you can not overclock, I think. Look in the ARC Development section for custom kernel, that can be used for over clocking.

You have to flash a Custom Kernel.... Either DoomKernel or ArcKnight

Jimbo77, is there any way to overclock without unlocking the bootloader? Is any such kernel available?

Could any harm come from overclocking?! (except for battery life will be shorter)

You can potentially damage your phone if you don't over clock safely.

By damage you mean from the heat that might come from overclocking?!
or something else?!
cuz I overclocked my Arc S to 2GHz using DoomKernel and SetCPU

I haven't overclocked myself, so I can't answer that for you. All I know is unsafe overclocking could damage the processor from pushing it past its limit (I think).
But you've overclocked without any problems, then I wouldn't worry too much.

I guess I will look up more info by searching the forum to see if anyone has encountered and issue or damage.

No, you need to unlock bootloader to be able to push a custom kernel to the phone.

For sure you can harm your device permanently remember that you're pushing the cpu way beyond it's planned capacity but as per my own experience and by reading a lot through the forums...
You can safely OverClock up to 20% above the original margin, so lets said that you have the ARC you can easily and safely push the phone up to 1.2GHZ and it wouldn't cause that much harm...

thanks bro. yeap i knew that but the problem is. the kernel is for 2.3.4 i supposed? i need to know whether is it can be used in 4.0.3 too? because the kernel version being said so on "not remember which threads i read before" only for gingerbread version. so im telling myself that my phone might brick or give prob if the kernel doesnt support 4.0.3 version of android.
do u know any kernel that can be flash in android 4.0.3 version for arc s?

Overclocking the MXP

So i've meaning to ask, have anyone tried to overclock the MXP? I mean like overclock past thought 1200MHz and so on?
and the overheating issue is a b*tch being to me when i try to overclock it with "Kernel Adiutor",of course I couldn't past through the 1200MHz limitation but hey, it was an interesting experiment.

Its a kernel thing.

There are cheap Chinese phones out there with better specs than this phone. Rather than overclocking & risking to damage it, I would say getting those phones are a good alternative solution.

Try the latest squid kernel. The overclock is just mild to keep everything stable.

The kernel must also support this overclock and the only option you have is squids kernel. 1209Mhz on the little and 1708Mhz on the big cores is the limit at this moment. You cant overclock a stock kernel only using a kernel manager.
