[Q] Overclocking on standard rom - Xperia Play General

Very basic and quick question.
I HAVE used the search button and didnt find the info i was looking for.
I've seen a few threads about people bing able to over clock their XPlay, and i was wondering how this would be done. I have got SetCPU ready to install, lol. The bit of info i need is, I am only using a standard rom, bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted, is this enuff to be able to overclock or do i need a custom rom running?
If I do need a custom rom, how would i go about using one and would i lose all the data on my phone??
Thanx to everyone in advance, I know everyone here are great people and I will get a decent answer and no one taking the piss for me being such a noob with these things, lol.

you need to install a custom kernel that supports overclocking...

And you need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom kernel

Development forum has the kernel. It's reported that it runs at 1.5ghz without errors.

Quick question also, what should be the normal score of our XPlay if we run it on app like quadrant standard? Thanks..

well i dont know what normal is but i get between
1700-1800 on stock rom with bloatware removed

Quadrant is a load of ****, its not an accurate benchmark, devs have been known to make kernels and mods that can trick quadrant into giving massive scores

I get 12to 1300... Not that it matters.. There is no lag

You can't even get consistent quadrant scores on the same device at the same settings.

So what app can you suggest that can get an accurate score? Thanks.

None. Benchmark apps at the moment are not really solid.

Check out the benchmark topic in q&a forum, its recently added on the last page of this topic. Quite a story to type over, so check it out yourself.

Lol. Quite Funny.. But if you do ever come back allstate, I think Data2SD will do the trick.
I also get very high with data2sd and wolfbreak's 1.6.3 v4.3 rom. I have got up to 2500, but I'm not sure if it actually makes a difference. I can't tell a real speed difference with or without data2sd other than the quadrant. Without it it is around 1400.

Thats strange because I too have 6.1.3 v4.3 and without Data2SD I get no more than 1080. And I too dont really think Data2SD does anything with the speed or performance, well none I can notice anyway.
Coming out soon: Data2SD+++ (3800 plus and you can notice a major difference in your phones performance. Its faster than your mind can keep up...)

I get 775 with stock Eclair, Im cool with that. I don't undersand the obsession of getting a high score to beat another phones, if we already know X10 is good.
if you want to get that much quadrant you need to have data2sd install on you phone.Im currently using tripNmiui and i have 2750 quadrant.it fast tho. or you van use free x10 beta 3 & 4.beside you need to install freex10 data2sd too.

[Q] Fastest rom?

Hi,
Which one is the fastest rom (stock or custom)?
Thanks...
There are multiple different stock and custom kernel roms. But in general custom is not as stable but is "faster", at this point which one you use is up to you.
I wonder if I misunderstand what you mean by custom, oh well ^_^

wait for a stable custom kernel with 30fps uncapped and 16m collors. It will own all othe Roms
Freex10 beta 4 + data2sd you score up to 2300 on quadrant
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
had data2sd before, doesnt improve anything significantly.
to answer the question of the thread, all people using cm6 v5 seem to be happy with its speed, including me. i havent run a quadrant test in months since i realized those numbers dont really matter. what matters is if YOU think the phone is fast, not what some app tells u is fast.

I totally agree on what you have said, hence for stability and usability, I would recommend stock + JIT mod.
However if you want more performance numbers and flash 10.2, then I'll recommend WB's CM6.1.3
wolfbreaks best for me
Trips miui rom with free kernal is extremely fast and smooth!

Post your highest stable overclock thread!

We all need one and the Xperia Play hasn't got one, so I thought I'd start one for you guys.
On my Xperia Play R800i I'm happily running at 1.8ghz and I'm considering pushing it further. How are you guys doing?
1.5-1.6 here... I'm trying to push it so I can get full speed on TigerMAME with sound, and I'm not really noticing any improvement. Maybe I need to look at trying out some different governers.
Thought everyone's went to 2.0ghz stable, i think it could do more tbh
Well anyway mine is 2ghz stable using the smartass governer
Using what to overclock? Does the Play have an OC kernel stock, or have you done something else to it? I'm a noob with the Play so I haven't discovered all the goodies yet.

use doomlord kernel to enable OC, i have 1.2 ghz, i don't want to make it higher, because it will decrease my hardware lifetime, coz I love my xplay...

1.7 ghz fine and dandy probably could go higher but no point really

What games are you having issues with? I am using TigerArcade 2.2.1-FULL on the stock kernel and not noticed any sound issues
i think almost everyone gets 2.0ghz stable, but i run 1.6 ghz. mainly because the improvement 2hz is next to nothing (about 4%-ish on fpsece) and it makes my phone warm when playing.

Do quadrant scores really matter?

So I was running Mostly Stock for a long time, and was pretty happy with it...except for the periodic annoying EL3
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Let's try that again So I've been on mostly stock...not overclocked. I was normally getting around 18-1950 quadrant scores... So I updated to Sleeper ROM (el30, odexed)...it seems about the same performance-wise...but I only get ~1300 on quadrant!
I was wondering if that was some effect of the odexed vs deodexed...but I don't see how. I don't see a difference in my daily driving...just thought I would ask what other people feel about such things...
Also, I'm still running ext4... If I can convince myself to go MTD, I would probably try clean GB... But I don't want to go back to rds...

No. They can be fooled with scripts. The only thing that should ever matter is how fast a ROM seems to you.

Of course they are !!!!!!
How else would we compare e-peens on here
Trololol. But seriously, mtd performs the best but the quadrants are a little lower than ext4. So basically, it means nothing.
That's why I'm not sure why all the phone review n comparison videos use quadrant to test performance. Then I laugh when it tells them one phone is "faster" than the other but the specs are worse XD.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
The scores are a great way to determine what setup works best on each specific phone, but does a poor job of comparing performance between different phones.
As such, if you are looking at the scores in respect to what others got, its not much of a help
But if you are using it for what makes your phone work better, as far as different ROMs, Kernels, and different combos, then it can be very helpful
I feel like Antutu seems to score in an arbitrary way that works. I can't say why but the number match the performance I feel more often than not. Some outliers, but a decent way to compare on some level.

Quadrant score :s

Hi all,
I dont know what the exact problem is but why I'm getting unstable quadrant scores. When I first run full benchmark I got 30XX,
second 34XX
third 43XX
fourt 38XX
fifth 33XX
My ram is clean as possible (408/831MB)
And my rom is Turkey XWLP7
If someone can explain , I'll be appriciated.
Thks all
It's because they're crap. Just stay away from them or your penis will become smaller.

You shouldn't worry yourself with benchmarks. They give you no idea of how well the phone actually performs in daily use.
Anyways, it could be your CPU governor or something running in the background.
