Eris Overclock?

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

yeah i remember that. same happened with damage, or something similar.

Hate to break it to you guys, but he ain't coming back to XDA. And he ain't releasing anything he does build...at least not under his own name.
I don't want to be blunt, but give it up.
Until this forum grows up about 25 years...at least as far as mentality is concerned, we won't see him producing anything publicly again. Even then, at this point in time he has been way to jaded to care. Either that or he has bought an EVO.
Dude is smart, it's ashame it was ruined for the community as a whole. That Gumbo ROM was the ****.

awesome, good to know he is still developing.

gbhil still owns a hero

He's very much active at Android Central. In fact, he released a 2.1 with his own custom kernel. Im using it now and its ****ing FAST!
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/9522-sprint-2-1-leak.html

Unfortunately, good as he is, he can't do anything with the functional kernel for 2.1..it's .29 and has not been released (or even leaked as far as I know, or we'd have much more customized ROMs).
The guy's amazing, no doubt about it. But as far as customizing kernels he can only deal with what he has to work with.

Kernels are the operating systems themselves. In Android, the core operating system is Linux. A kernel controls all low-level operations of the device, whether it is a computer or a phone. Without a kernel, you have a paperweight.
Even Windows has a kernel (in NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7 it is NT Kernel...for 95, 98 and Me, it the 9x kernel).
In MacOS X, the kernel is Darwin (based on BSD).

Besides Google, does any of the HTC phones actually have a 2.6.29 source (Donut or Eclair)?

[Q] Is there any Kernel that can run like SnapTurbo?

So far, you can only run 7.6 Snapturbo on Cyanogenmod Roms !! I tried CM6 but I did not really have a good feel to It.. im more of a Sense type of guy, Im really in love though with the 7.6 Snapturbo That CM6 is capable of running.. I ran it and hit a 2300 on my Quadrant!! WOW!!
Only thing is i dont really like the CM6 interface/skins/themes/ etc..
I like how all my e-mails and contacts are synced in the Fresh Rom/every other Rom
MY question is..
Is there another Kernel that runs like 7.6 Snapturbo?? If so which one and is it possible to run it on Fresh Rom or Similar Roms
Im familiar with Virus Rom aswell as i used to have that one prior to Fresh
If someone can point me in the right Direction I would Greatly Appreciate it

I don't know of any Sense roms that run Turbo.

Development??
Is there talk about one being developed ?? why is it that only CM6 is capable of running it?? what does it have that the other do not?

the developer only released it for cm6, and he will not release the code for turbo, so it will not be seen in a sense rom anytime soon, unless the developer changes his mind.

And I guarantee you he never will.
OP, have you tried LauncherPro while you were on CM6? Between LP and some skin edits, you can make it fairly sense-like. Take a look at the Matted Blues theme for an example.

I dont have the knowledge of a developer but, if Cyangen could do it... why can't another Dev do some research on the 7.6 snapturbo and make the Necessary adjustments

Because Cyanogen didn't do it, jmxp69 did, and TURBO is closed-source, owned by Spiicytuna and jmxp69. Nobody else will ever be able to recreate it unless they can figure out what was done, from scratch.

Turbo is not fully complete for cm6, so to even think of converting to sense is out of the question for right now. I am still working on finishing it up for a v2 release for cm6.

I don't. What app actually pushes the CPU beyond it's limit? The only noticeable/visual bottle neck (that affects most if not all current available apps) on the EVO is the GPU which Snap Turbo does not improve.

Most of those things are gpu related and thus are probably in your head since the gpu drivers are the same as stock.

Excuse me of my ignorance, but why make it closed source? Isn't the point of Android to make things open sourced and better for all? The more people working on something like this, the better it could become right?

The kernel and OS are GPL'd, meaning they have to stay open-source, but SNAP Turbo is an app created by Spiicytuna, using special code in the Snap kernel and various tweaks to the phone's filesystem. Those modifications, and how to interface with the kernel modifications, are not covered under the GPL, and Spiicytuna and jmxp69 have decided themselves not to make TURBO open-source at this time.
Their choice. If you don't like it, you can go use that kanged kernel from the forum's most popular code-and-credit stealer.

New ROMS based on what??? We have HTC Sense ROMs for Eclair 2.1 and Froyo 2.2 and AOSP CM 6.1. What else are you looking?
Personally I hate visiting the other device forums because everybody and their brother has 'cooked' up another ROM (mostly just new themes or added favorite apps). IMO who has time to stiff through all the various ROMs and threads? I find it much easier to review 3 different ROM threads and try to help others than to try and go through 10 or 15 threads and seeing messages such as 'well this worked on this ROM but it doesn't on that ROM, why not?'
OK, I'll get off my soap box now...

I agree. Plenty of good variety in the ROMs we have.

There's nothing wrong with that actually. Sometimes it's a good thing because there are more people developing towards something greater. We have 1 or 2 guys doing all this work. There are some pretty badass ROMs for the more popular phones out there. If we had more people developing and cooking, we'd no doubt have something better than what we have even now.

Screw those giant phones.
But a little more ROMS would be cool, we just need more people with the Aria.
It's not a bad phone...hah.

Not too sure, as I have only had the Aria and used the two ROMS.

it's not a bad thing that we may only have 3 roms, but they are actually good quality roms, not just thrown together, and they are constantly being updated, but it would be kool if they had more help with them.

I recently rooted and installed CM6.1.0RC2, and only thing I'd say it's missing is Flash Lite compared to Sense. Wish there was a way to get Flash Lite on CM, sadly not possible. Still loving CM though. Might test Sense again when there's an official Froyo update from AT&T and attn1 has taken out all the bloatware.

No Cyanogen on Droid X yet...I'm surprised.

Why haven't you guys got a CM7 port yet? I don't own a DX, but I got a cousin and I put that new GB rom on his DX a couple days ago. Anyways...have none of you heard of 2nd init? The Defy and..a couple other phones..have this boot menu made for them. One of the features in it it 2nd init. It has enabled full Cyanogen 7 Android 2.3.4 on it, and MIUI.
Cyanogen mod on the Defy is here and the 2nd init bootmenu is here. Porting of this shouldn't be that hard. Little changes to the scripts I would guess. I would look into it if you are wanting Cyanogen, MIUI, or any other roms that you can't flash without having an unlocked bootloader, or 2nd init.
To learn more about 2nd init, go here

Hmmm if I knew how to go about this I would definitely try it out. @aliasxerog on twitter has tried something like this before. Could you get in contact with him and see what he could do with this? Thank you for posting this and I really hope something could be done with this

I wish there were a cyanogen mod for the X, my son's cyanogen modded Optimus runs a Linpack (MFLOPS) score twice mine and he's got an ARM11 processor! at 800 MHz.
I also like the menu/screen better.

to be honest cyangogen sucks ass! I develop roms myself and I'm not tryin to put Kousch down but it is not that special at all!

I don't disagree that in general what Cyanogen does is bring only the Google part of Android over and it shouldn't be that hard...but it seems to be.
Most of the ROMs out here do work 85% or more, but they are all a little buggy, camera doesn't work right or WiFi doesn't work or no GPS or phone reboots or can't shut off or SOMETHING....I know it's just a patch, but often it's a patch that never gets addressed. Cyanogen seems to address all of the issues - no hate on those building ROM's, but Cyanogen finishes the job. It may not be the best build with the most bling, but it's mostly raw Google with no bloat.
After removing the bloatware and giving the user a generic Android experience, the processor has more juice for other applications. Example, my sons Optimus runs 8.5 MFLOPS stock @ 600 MHz, the processor is an ARM11 processor which is actually built to 800 MHz so he upped the clock to 800 MHz and loaded cyanogen and he now has >30 MFLOPS...on an older CPU than my Droid X that only gives me 13.5 MFLOPS.
So while I agree in theory that Cyanogen isn't magic, I agree with the original poster that Cyanogen does a complete job and is worth getting.

1st.) Koush didn't make cynogen. Cynogen did. Koush made clockworkmod recovery
2nd.) To my knowledge, you are a relatively new developer. Cynogen has written a large amount of code in every aosp rom. If his rom sucks, why don't you compare download amounts?

I think maybe the great developers already moved on to a new phone? :/ Who knows.

That is very true. For example drod who made rubix has gone on to the thunderbolt like many others

cvcps was working on CM4DX, but it doesn't look as though he will finish since the build is for froyo. He mentioned it was somewhat of a long shot since gb is about to be released.

What would it take to get Cyanogenmod working with our DROIDX kernel?

What was the last ROM you made that was community maintained and supported 20+ devices? It's pretty special in that regard!

Pain-in-the-ass bootloader. I'm not surprised in the least. He works on putting his ROM onto way too many different devices to spend an inordinate amount of time on one device, with how fast new phones come out nowadays. It makes sense that Cyanogen never came to the DX.

I honestly think a CM7 could be in the works - but they're waiting on a final GB release.

It is and has been for a long time. It is being done by @cvps

The locked bootloader has made CM to the Droid X a huge hassle and CVPS has seen some success but nothing to get excited over
