hes got it up to 1.1GHz so far
alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=312&t=1622
Saw this thread over there. Pretty ridiculous.
looks like it didnt boot at 1.4 GHZ so 1.3 will probably be the highest with most of the users running 800 to 1GHz when this kernel is released!
nice
Here's the new thread: http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=312&t=1637. The old one was taken down, but this one includes ROM builds for 800Mhz, 900MHz, and 1GHz. 1.1GHz is not included just yet, since it becomes a little unstable.
any suggestions...... ive been seeing people get 1.5 GHZ sooo i kinda feel bad lol. And b4 anyone says anything i know 1.3 GHZ isnt bad lol
Not every phone can overclock the same. I personally wouldn't keep the phone over 1.2 ghz. Other than fooling around there isn't much reason to clock it higher.

Check out the android development section. There is a VERY lengthy thread about this stuff.
Every phone is diff I can't overclock more than 1.3 also

Yep just like everyone says.....it's all built differently. I personally would keep mines at 1Ghz or 1.1Ghz. It's fast enough at 800MHz. Maybe occasionally just to make myself feel good, I'd run 1.2Ghz. Just imagine what 800MHz or 1GHz will be like when a optimized custom ROM can be installed....Stupid FAST!!
1.46 Ghz here since the OC was discovered..
No problem yet, battery life almost never changed, and I'm loving it.
As others have said, it varies. Not every processor will overclock the same, which is why these are sold at a slower speed than possible.
My friend and I bought the same PC processors at the same time. Mine overclocks to 3.6ghz, and I could only get 3.2ghz with his. Nothing is perfectly identical
After the release of Clemsyn's 1.6 GHz Kernel for CM7 based ROMs last night, I immediately switched to it just to see.
But before that I was running Faux123 1.3 GHz.
I'm keeping the Clemsyn kernel for now, simply because I can. My phone can run it with little difficulty thus far and I have a profile to lower the max freq when the CPU gets to a certain temperature. I think I went with about 65 Celsisus.
Before I switched back to CM7 (or rather Neutrino) I was using Wet Dream. I OCed to 1.45 then in attempt to compensate for only half decent webtop performance.
But now I really only do it because I can. Whenever possible, my phone is on the lapdock since I like to HDMI mirror. Battery is not a concern since the lapdock charges the phone and I pretty much always keep the lapdock charger on hand in my bag.
I just thought it would be an interesting subject for the community to discuss as I'm sure it's something that a number of us haven't even thought of and I bet a good number of us fall into the because I can or bragging rights category.
Specific instances of problems OCing helped with in x app or y app might make someone else want to OC whereas someone who doesn't OC might persuade a user like myself to drop it for amazing battery ETC.

Why I DO OC.
Right now I have my Atrix OC'ed at 1.45. I'm currently running Alien ROM Build #4.
The CPU has never gotten past ~55º C.
I also have 2 profiles set
1 for Screen off - 800 MHz max.
1 for Battery< 10% -216 MHz max.
This paired with Alien ROM and LP has left me with a buttery smooth experience.
Is the 1.6 OC kernel worth giving a shot? Or does it make the CPU run excessively hot?
EDIT: I didn't really address battery life. I don't notice a huge decrease in battery life, I'm a pretty heavy user- SMS, Web, Video streaming, Facebook, Twitter. Over all OC'ing is definitely worth it to me.
I like to keep mine overclocked because it seems snapier. I use faux 1.45 and its great. Ive noticed clem's likes to make my phone very hot when running video or games and has actually shut my phone down due to heat. If I run clems I like to drop the overclock with setcpu to around 1.3 so it doesnt shut down but seems to get way hotter than faux's. Anything over 1.5 is just going to cause damage to peoples phones and IMO it should not be used so lightly.
I'm OC'd to 1.45ghz I do it for performance and those random times I need to benchmark I want to try 1.5-6 but I can't seem to get them to boot with the ICS mod2 cm7 so till cm9 or neutrino ill just float about with what I have

No need for 1.6 IMO.
1.3 is plenty for the Atrix. Even Faux 1.0 is fine. Its a phone, not a PC.

I dunno...my webtop configuration may want to take exception to that statement

i honestly haven't been able to really tell a difference between 1.0 and 1.3GHz in most of my applications. it definitely doesn't help with system slowdown due to live wallpapers, which is a disappointment.

Haha, I was in that boat before I switched to HDMI mirroring coupled with VNC or Splashtop (when applicable) from experience, I can tell why Webtop users want OC. You can turn your phone into such a useful computer, and then it falls flat on its face because the inner-workings aren't streamlined. The extra power DOES help in that situation.
But in my actual experience, I haven't seen many realworld benefits past 1.2.
Especially since 1.6 kept eventually shutting down on me after about an hour (assuming there is the same issue as in Clemsyn 1.5, setting your max to a lower frequency than 1.6 won't stick so my temperature profile wouldn't actually work)
My "because I can" mindset is going to leave me stuck on 1.45 though most likely. I keep it maxed at 1.2(or is it 1.1? I'm not using the kernel right now) and then have a profile to ramp it up to 1.45 when it's on the charger (aka my lapdock)
I don't think it is quite the same for Blur based ROMs, but on CM7 1.0 seems perfectly adequate for the Atrix. Even at it's stock speed, it is snappy.

I dont overclock. I used to be at 1.3ghz, but I didnt see a big enough difference to keep it. At least on CM7, the Atrix is plenty fast on stock speed.
I overclock, but I wait for thoroughly tested kernels before doing so. Right now I'm with faux's v023r @ 1.3 Ghz. I'll try Clemsyn's after its second or third "redesign" or bugfix.
I stick to optimal battery life kernels rather than performance (faux 123 0.2.3 being the one I'm currently on and most likely will be for the foreseeable future)
Also I can't imagine performance possibly getting any quicker or running programs any faster than they already are on the atrix.
Honestly, I never understood why people oc their phone, especially the Atrix. I mean the phone is already fast being that it is 1Ghz dual core. Plus from what I have seen, the Atrix overheats like crazy with the stock frequency so why would you want to increase that even more, so it explodes? I use my phone to mostly play 3D games and I have never encountered any lag or low fps whenever I play games.

The Atrix is plenty fast already. I can understand if you OC a HTC Magic, or a Hero; but there's no real need to do so on the Atrix.
Idk I see a difference on any launcher when I flip through pages and through apps. 1.3 or 1.45. But I def notice the difference in snappyness.

95% of the time I overclock I do it for getting awesome benchmark scores that I can admire. 5% of the time I do it when playing 3D games like Fruit Ninja, It seems a lot smoother to me. But I hardly ever do it because it sucks the battery down so fast, so usually I'm at 1ghz. Also it's just kind of cool to see the the potential the phone has when overclocking.
i used faux's kernel to overclock to 1.3 for a few months but i didnt really see any difference except when i run quadrant or how my phone got hotter than stock when under load. another thing that annoyed me with faux's kernel was constantly losing widgets on reboot. i use two batteries so i reboot pretty often.
I used faux 23r 1.4GHz with setCPU profiles.
Profiles clamped speed to 1ghz at cpu temp of 50degc and 800mhz at 60degc.
Most noticeable difference was in k9 mail, indexing and searching were slightly improved.
I ran it so I would get a short boost if the cpu was cold.

Hey
On my old and feeble Hero I had to OC, if I wanted it to run fine, however I never felt the need to OC my Atrix. it has so much juice in it without OC, making it useless to squeeze the battery for the extra 0.2-0.5 GHz. Moreover, since we have no real ICS, our CPU runs freely and waste energy for nothing, so OC it will just make it run ever faster for nothing (In Hebrew there is a saying- running full throttle on neutral ).
I used to run Faux123 1.0Ghz kernel just to UV the device, but since I flashed weekly 6 I use the stock kernel, and it runs great, no overheating, and extremely stable (What cannot be said on UV kernels...)
The only time i oc is when using webtop, that extra speed makes a difference. The rest of the its running at 1ghz and seems plenty

I ran the virtuous affinity rom for a few days and liked it. It allowed me to overclock my mt4g up to about 1.8ghz without any heat or crashing issues. the ondemand scaling worked quite well and kept my phone cool and my battery life high but all my apps were able to access the power made available by overclocking. I just recently flashed creamed glacier 7.1 because i really like some of the features that ics has to offer. I am torn though because i cant seemed to get any of my overclock applications to scale properly. I have tried no frills, and antutu both of which worked fine on virtuous affinity. when i try to run either of these on creamed glacier 7.1 they overclock my processor but it constantly runs at the max speed limit. the only scale that doesnt do this is the power saver which automatically runs at .122 ghz no matter the circumstances. I really like this rom but a big advantage the root gave me was the ability to overclock. Tmobile has the phone governed at 1ghz when it can easily run 1.5 as a daily speed and if scaled right 1.7 or 1.8 ran well. If anyone knows of any better apps that match with the creamed glacier kernel please let me know. I have tried fixing permissions, turning off logging, reinstalling the apps, and none of these things seem to help in the least. Thanks to all who take the time to read this. (ps please excuse my lack of formal grammar)
I really like ROM toolbox, or voltage control. However I have seen in several ICS roms that you can overclock from the settings without the need for an app. Dig around in your settings, maybe yours has that as well? I run mine normally about 1.3 which is more than sufficient for my usage.
Hi,
recently i came back to my xperia play, and changed my HyperGamer rom to Aurora 2.0.0 with Lupus v12.
In antutu benchmark, i'm achievienig almost 6000 points, but i saw people who had "over 9000!!".
I flashed adreno booster and overclocked it to 1,6 Ghz.
Also, application often close, and a lot of things work unstable, even without OC.
I'm not sure if i have right firmware, but i don't know how to chack it, and if i can flash it safely now.
Also, i wanted to try doomkernel 14, but i can't find it anywhere. Maybe someone knew where to download it?
Thanks for help
doom kernel 14 can be found here (at least now):

For what rom this kernel is good? And what kernel is better for performance Lupus or Doom? And what is best rom for gaming on JB/KK
Im using Doomkernel with stock rom overclocked to 1.6ghz. For me this has been the best combination with regard to stability and compatibility. I tried many roms and the phone became unusable at times. Adreno gave too many glitches for me. Some games were missing textures etc.
As for the 9000, I only managed that when overclocked to 2.3ghz. Most people only achieve 6-7000 on normal overclocks. Hope that helps.
I'm using doomkernel too, but mine runs on 1,9 Ghz. What's funny, it started working stable after some time. I had to reboot phone few times when i was messing with clock and governors, but know it work perfect.
If 6-7k is normal, that's great.
I recently bought an xperia play only for gaming. Auroraplay and doomkernel: 1,8Ghz and airplane mode (no GAPPS, no WIFI, nothing) and it is incredible! n64oid Mario kart, Mario 64, starfox absolutely smooth!
yes but on GB you can´t install retroarch, wich is the only emulator i would wanna use, instead of having 8 emulator apps...
Yeah, i think i will go for HyperGamer rom, with retroarch, but i will try removing as much things as possible. And maybe screen mirroring will work, which would be awesome!!!
ok so i tried some retroarch version on the auroraplay rom, so far the 9.9.6 has basically all the cores you need and the pad mapped right away without need of configuration( you can find it in aptoide). from that version on the gamepad maping is broken and needs some serious configuration, it's a pity cause the 1.5 version has just been released and it look beautiful with xmb interface artbox support and al the fancy stuff...imma head over to the retroarch support forum and ask why from 1.2 on the xplay gets broken controls
