[Q] overclock ics on a500? - Acer Iconia A500

ok, now ics has been released, can we get a overclocked kernel?
hc could overclock and played hd files smoothly. ics still jumpy until overclock.
thanks to you all people on xda, you are the best

I have posted the same question. Have not gotten any replies yet.

Bump
??

I think we need to wait until Acer drops the ICS kernel source. Until then, he who must not be mentioned's ICS rom can overclock both the GPU and CPU and it works quite well. Can't mention it on XDA though...do a search for tegraowners A500 rom and you'll get your answer...

[Q] Wildfire OverClocking

Hi guys,
Today I heard about over-clocking for wildfire that can increase the performance of the CPU. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
Using SetCPU maybe? I;m not sure if it's on the market, I got it elsewhere. But I think you might need root access for that to work ;-)
you will need a kernel that have possibility to overclock. it will soon be here
do Puzzle rom support overclock ?

Check it out guys Good News for you
Yep, Im currently running on an overclocked Wildfire, with wildpuzzle ROM and the OC kernel from there. Awesome!
Which Version of WPR you have ? with the OC Kernel ? ^^
V 8.08 or whatever it is supports overclocking now
which means only rooted wildfire can be OC ? Haiz.. sad case.. 2.2 still cant root yet..
Hi there,
I'm now running the latest stable cyanogenmod 7.0.2, which also includes an OC-able kernel.
Linpack scores up to 5200!
Unfortunately you cannot install this yet if you upgraded your wildfire to android 2.2, there is no software rooting mechanism just yet. There is a hardware solution though, see the top 2 links in this thread for more info on that. (haven't tried these myself)
Hope this helps!
skype
Could you give me some highlights about how the skype's voice sounds with an overlocked wildfire? Has any glitches?
My buzz is overclock to 749 mhz but Skype dont work certo food
Very good not certo food excuse me

Best Rom/Kernel Setup to date?

Anyone got a great setup doing really well and willing to share? thanks in advance!
i would read 1 of the many threads asking the exact same question
Stock rooted 3.2?
I like taboonay 2.2 coupled with richard trip's 3.4 kernel, however, it's the only rom I have tried. Trip's 3.7 kernel I had a couple problems I couldn't live with.
Rooted 3.2 with thor's kernel 3.8r3 has been solid for me.
Taboonay 2.2 with Thors kernel v3.4. I haven't bothered updating the kernel to Thors latest as my current setup is running perfectly fine.
Running Thor's 3.6 ROM and his newest Kernel. Most solid for me. I've tried Taboonay, lightspeed, honeyvillan, as well as a few others but I keep going back to Thor. While the others are good too, it just seems to me that Thor's ROM is the best and handling video playback, even without overclocking.
I do not believe there is a BESTrom out there.they all have there own good and unique qualities. Try a few and find what suites you best.
From the many threads I have read it does seem the roms closer to stock will give you the most stability with less issues.But will likely be slower with less blunt and extra settings and software,and having less not needed software pushed by acer.
Good luck choosing.JUST REMEMBER BACKUP BACKUP TO SEVERAL PLACES.
READ 4 TIMES FLASH ONCE.
I agree there is no best, but.....
I run taboonay and and the latest thor kernel.
Currently running Taboonay 2.2 and Thor's Kernel 3.9. Pretty solid and no complaints. Running 1.68 and stable.
Unfortunately I run a 501 so roms are pretty limited. No internal 3g support.
However, I ran Thors Revolver ported for the 500 and was impressed with the display response which was slicker than some of the other roms I've flashed.. Unfortunately we couldn't get the internal 3g working all the way.
For me the roms dont really matter on this device. If i understand it correctly they all come from an acer base rom since theres no hc source. I run civato mix but only because it was the first to support hulufied flash. The kernel is what is important to me and thors is beast. He also has a rom but havent tried it. Tegraowners.com

Thor's revolvover is an asus based port from the transformer.

Kernels

can someone list which kernels work with the 0.014 ICS update for the a500? im sick of the stock kernel that came with cm9, i believe and want to flash another one.
my tabs unlocked, cm9 installed, but is laggy so i think OC'ing it may help a tad.
ty in advanced as im new to the world of flashing kernels

Currently, there are no known OC/UV kernels for the 500/501 running ICS. With the exception of TegraOwners, however it only works with the Tegraowner rom as best I know.

damn, i was hoping there was a kernel out there.. is it possible to take a kernel from another tegra2 device & flash it to the a500?
thank you btw for all your answers to my possible ridiculous questions!

Look in my thread , they are not OC kernels , the tweaked ones but they improve smoothness big time.
One thing they are build for 1.031.00 based rom , they will work on older versions but it is possible that camera fails.

I need a little bit of advice on overclocking using setcpu

Hey XDA
i bought the setcpu app on my nexus and tryed to overclock it... as i realised it doesnt really overclock it as it only goes to 1.3ghz which is the max the stock can go lol
i take it to actually overclock the tablet beyond 1.3ghz i need to install a new kernal perhaps a custom kernal?
also whats the best kernal i could install instead of stock?
im looking to overclock it to the most fastest but safest speed i heard 1.8ghz atm also want to here other users thots on which kernal i should try,
also if i ever decide to reutn back to stock does everything as in the kernal and the firmware rom flash back to stock?
thnks in advance
You can't over clock the stock kernel. You need an alternative kernel. I like Motley's kernel but Trinity and Faux kernels are good.

so my best bet is elite kernal by clemsyns,
which file on his thread is the latest and best as in 1.8ghz?

with your thinking, you should go ahead and try clemsyns 2ghz kernel, its posted in the east few pages of the thread
but really, you won't be able to handle 1.8ghz as a daily, its more of a toy to play with. there are much better kernels here to use as a daily, that of from 1.6-1.8ghz too. try them all, find what yo like. when you lose battery like a artery in your neck that's been slashed, you'll realize that 1.8ghz is only for fun.
yeah lol iknow what you mean lol
iv tryed searching for the 2ghz elite kernal but i cant seem to find it within the thread... only mnaged to find 1.8ghz
can someone post it in here for me plz if they could that would be great, i dontknow which page it might be on...iv heard of talk about it but havent seem an actual download for it from clemsyns

Overclock NexusHD2 JellyBean CM10.1

hi guys, i'm currently using NexusHD2 JellyBean rom. it can be overclocked up to 1.2ghz, but i saw on internet that with CM7 hd2 can be overclocked up to 1.5... i would overclock NexusHD2 JellyBean CM10.1 to 1.5ghz.. but i don't know how to... sorry for bad english
You need a kernel that supports overclocking to such frequency. I didn't overclock my HD2, and most times I used the kernel that came with the ROM and didn't bother to change.
Use the sticky in the NAND development section to look through kernels, and flash the one that has overclocking and works on your ROM.
Edit:
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322639 I think this should work for you, follow the instructions and, as always, make a back up. (Though if something ever happens, you'd just have to flash the stock kernel back but I'm telling you to back up to disclaim myself anything should happen to your device.)

Apparently not, lol. I don't think it's possible then. That's the only kernel I knew which supported 1.5 GHz. Try and search for yourself, you may find.

should I keep jelly beans on 1.2ghz, or should I install ICS on 1.6ghz?
I can't really tell you, because it depends solely on you.
Why not try both? You've tried JB on 1.2, backup and flash ICS with 1.6 and use it for a few days. See which one works best and use it. Good luck.

well, in jellybean or ics, i think overclocking more than 1.2 ghz is very risky. rom developers remove this option aswell as kernel developers, because in those builds it may brick your phone

May I know why/how?
@Marvlesz well, i'm not sure about what i said
but after gb, i've never seen an ics+ (or jb) build that has overclocking more than 1.2 ghz. gb used to have 1.6ghz AFAIR, but newer build are all 1.2 ghz and maximum. maybe it's related to HWA or such stuff
Edit: i just saw you posted about trying ICS with 1.6 , so nevermind about what i said
