Adreno 205 gpu - Xperia Arc General

I know this topic has been covered so many times but i cant find the threads. I want to know whether our gpu can be overclocked for better graphics? Both on arc amd arc s?

U can't
Just wait until SE give us ICS
Its have the new adreno driver.

It is here: lmgtfy.com/?q=linux swap and GPU overclocking on android
Swap will make phone slower but phone will have more ram, gpu oc will make graphics smoother and faster. The link above has more info.

hi guys.what is swap and gpu oc ?
Simpliest. Swap is an linux-based partition which can be used to add some RAM in your phone from SD Card GPU OC -> Graphics Processing Unit Overclocking. Hit the thanks button
The X8 doesn't have a GPU though?
Edit: My mistake, it does.

WRONG ! , it has an adreno 200 which is obsolete now

Yep, as mentioned before, it may improve graphics loading speed and also provide better performance on graphics-intensive games.

We need a kernel.

Ok,so here we have just one working kernel,and its linuxDX.but,it works just with gingerDX.now,we need a kernel wich will work on all 2.3 roms,because it probably will be written on gb sources.i unfortunately dont understand development of such things,but someone who does please help us.
And overclock built in kernel would be good too.
Cheers,xuser132
Maybe linuxdx will be supported for others roms too, because its in the first post in the linuxdx thread.

Arc to arc s

Im thinking of going to arc s from arc. Im aware of the differences but is it a good move?
Sent from my Xperia Arc using Tapatalk
Honest answer is no. But it's up to you know know the difference between them i.e. only it's Overclocked slightly different processor.
I own an arc s. If you do not love to overclock, arc s is your choice. It is damn fast by default. But if you are able to play a bit with your arc, you can create your own arc s by yourself.
Summoned by my Heretic Tab
The only reason to be honest im thinking of doing this move is because though I can clock my arc I havent got credits to do so on setool or omnius. And cant afford them. My arc is sim locked and therefore no fastboot etc etc. Then again ive been playing with the arc s. Ive had the privellege of taking it home with me from my friends phone shop. Ive had it for a week now been playing gta3 and its so much better. I read that 3g speed on the s is better than arc. Arc s 14.4mbps and 7.4 mbps on arc. I read this on gsmarena.

Yeah, but it's hard to get speeds higher than 7.2Mbit/s in real life.

I use Arc and my wife gets Arc S. I have to say Arc S is much faster than Arc.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
I own the Arc S too and yes it has a better (different!) CPU and better inet, but like Flo95 said, 7,2 MBit/s is even hard to get.
In my country is about 4 or 5 MBit/s standard (don't know how it is anywhere else ).
I'd wait for a future phone like Nozomi or something else.

Nope, the CPU isn't actually different. The MSM8255 and 8255T are the same chipset, just overclocked. Theoretically, the MSM8255 in the Arc can be overclocked to a MSM8255T with no problems.
no you dont have to goto arc s...
just stay with arc, the only differences is arc s processor are overclocked, the same chipset.
i have used my friends arc s for 2 weeks, i can tell that there is no differences.
so just wait for a better Sony 2012 flagship phone with dual core processor.
I would recommend to wait for the next generation phone as well. Although I'm perfectly happy with my arc s over all, the quality of sound transmitted _from_ my phone is actually worse then on my old x10...when network reception is low, that is. And as the others have already pointed out, the difference is not that great between the phones anyway.

Everyone saying it's an overclocked arc.
Is it really? Or is it an upgraded chipset?
Surely if you actually overclock the arc s with a custom kernel then you can get better results than with an overclocked arc.
Its a different chipset

vincie76, you're right.
Exactly, so why all this nonsense about,"just an overclocked arc" it isn't overclocked at all.

That's correct.
I don't know, maybe because there isn't much difference or the names are nearly the same (MSM8255 & MSM8255T).
And it's obvious that the Arc S has a different CPU, otherwise the CPU would also named MSM8255.
I understand what everyone is saying but when I play hd games my experience is better on the s. However I am also gettin the phone virtually next to nothing

It is a different chipset in the sense that it passed a higher and stricter quality control. Not all Arc phones can go to 1,4 but ALL Arc S phones are completely stable at 1,4.
So it's different and better and Arc S probably can be overclocked much more than the Arc with custom kernels.

Look in the market for speedtests.

Thanks I have that app already...but im not sure if its the download speed I should be looking at? Because I only got 1.3 mbps or am I misunderstanding something?
And are the lt15 and lt18 customisation numbers the same?

What are the Requirements to Overclock X8

Hello Guys , I have a X8 With GingerDx V.22 600 Mhz Device, How ever i Like to Increase My Processor Speed (OC). I read So many threads so i just came to a decision to overclock. Somehow i Read About Unlocking the bootloader stuffs and changing to custom kernels. damn i was wondering what the heck is this.
So people's post what is the Requirements that we need to Overclock. Please Post Asap

There are no requirements, you just have to be rooted. Install GingerXperia it has the overclock module built in. Personally I find it alot faster and smoother than GingerDx.
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
Thanks @Nimbah..... How much It will increase probably i ned 708 Mhz.. Can i ask you another question, if i want to play N.O.V.A How much mhz that i should need.
It depends on the rom you are using.
Hit the THANKS button if I helped!!

It really depends on your phone and rom, I can get stable at 710MhZ so it should be good. 710 should be okay for Nova, install chainfire3D if it crashes.

Hello ... dude if your are into gaming
..then go for mini cm 7 or froyo roms they are smoother

[Tip] for better gaming performance (it's totally work)

First of all you need to have all thease stuffs:
1. unlocked bootloader
2. Rooted
First, flash the lastiest cm7 rom and kernel (not cm9)
Then, install chainfire3d and it plugin.
Go to settings - cm setting - performance - CPU setting - available governors - set it to ondemand, go to min cpu frequency - set it to 122, Max to 1401 - check set on boot
Open chainfire3d - go to default opengl settings - check reduce texture quality, - go to use plugins - set it to nvidia. Done!
Enjoy your massive improvement of gaming performance on xperia arc/arc S
Tested games:
-asphalt 6
-riptied gp
-Shadow gun
-cs protable
Edited: if you want a little bit faster overclock to 1.6 ghz
Don't for get to hit thank if i help you!

Why are you on xda developers?
Things like overclocking and modding are the whole point of this site.
While you might not want to unlock your bootloader and other things which "might" brick your phone, it is also unlikely you will if you follow the developers guides properly.
This guide here has nothing unusual that people aren't doing to their phones already.

first of all i think you are right, but your first sentence was really unnecessary, he is just giving us his opinion.
I've tried this on my old device (SGT-5570)
It's become faster, no lag. But we'll sacrifice the graphic quality
chainfire3d
from where can I install it ????
is it a programme in the market or what
From market

Simple, for nvidia games.
Thanks! just downloading cm7 now
Ok! So we install nvidia for nvidia game? I though that it was based on the phone chipset and installed qualcomm. By the way, how do u know its working? I can't make out the difference after installing chainfire!
P.S. mine runs on stock froyo!
So is it even working?
