Title says all.I've been playing NOVA 3 and NFS MW,Spiderman,batman... on my nexus 7 32gb 3g with trinity kernel @ 1.5ghz OC ,stock ROM.And FPS is pretty low according to me because its little laggy seems like i have 25-30~ fps.So how can I improve performance of these games?
AFAIK, those games are not fully optimized for nexus 7 so there's nothing you can do right now. You can try to over clock the GPU using "trickster mod" dload it in play store then swipe all the way to the right and change the GPU max frequency to 700 then set to boot. Check to see if u gain some performance. Don't forget to click the thank you button if I helped

I have tried over clocking my GPU earlier and it ended with speaker blown or something like that ,but after reboot it got little better, so I'm kinda scared doing it again.Maybe there are some other tweaks for these games?

I wouldn't crank it up to 700mhz that's really the limit of most of the nexus 7 gpu's. When I'm gaming I set my CPU at 1.5-1.6Ghz and my GPU to 520 or 600mhz if it starts getting really hot just back off the over clock until you find a nice medium, I can run NFS:MW at 1.6Ghz/520mhz and its great

Or the other option is to turn off GPU Scaling when playing that particular games. Then turn it back on when finished playing

It essentially allows the GPU to run free, at the loss of heat and power consumption.

Find "Trickster Mod' on Google play. You also need a kernel that supports it, if you pure performance go with trinity kernel

Don't do go into the developer settings, like what triscuit said, use trickster mod from Google play to turn off GPU scaling.

I tried it on my nexus 7 before and it worked for me. Then after playing those graphically intensive games, I just under clock it again to 446mhz. I used trinity kernel that time. But now I changed to Bricked Kernel to have some balance performance/battery.

Yeah, too many people lately are OCing to the max without knowing the implications

Always take your oc in steps, just because your kernel will let you overclock to rediculous limits doesn't mean you should, this is why they all have the 'its not my fault if you break things' disclaimer.
Also, for nfsmw, overclocking your CPU will actually make the game use higher graphic settings, if you want better performance use 1.3ghz CPU and set your gpu to 520

Hi all,
I am using a rooted n7.
I have over clocked my galaxy s2 to 1.5ghz before, but I am not sure what is a safe level to over clock the n7 to.
What is a is is for battery life and performance?
And which kernel do u guys recommend

I run trinity kernel on my Gnex and N7 and on my N7 I keep it stock speeds because I've seen no reason to realistically OC it. Most of the improvements I see are from the kernel software changes over stock. You can OC to 1.6 safely but I'm not sure of the power usage difference but I'm pretty sure the loss in power isn't worth the gain from OCing.

I have mine at 1.6 just for the hell of it, I get a good 4 or 5 hours of continuous usage out of it.

For the benefit of the community, can you tell us any major changes at 1.6 GHz?
Is there anything noticeably faster?
Hi, I have a related question but can't post since I'm new.
Using the glazed rom which i like but it apparently has gpu overclock. I would like to know how to adjust that back to stock setting or at least see what it currently is. I found the CPU section but there is no gpu I can see.
Is there a tool I can use?

My thoughts exactly. I play some light games and web browse on my Nexus 7.
For those purposes, my Nexus 7 is already extremely fast, so I don't think I would be able to notice if it was over clocked.
But I guess it depends, maybe there's a big difference when running GPU heavy games.
I have OC mine upto 1640 MHz for bench marking alone for half and hour or probably more and it went fine although the tablet was getting warmer more than usual.

Hi,
I decided to flash trinity kernel.
I am currently OC to 1.5yghz, is that a safe level to keep it at full time? Or can that burn the cpu out?
Thanks again

Edit,
I over clocked my galaxy s2 ages ago, and I noticed a huge difference in performance.
So that is why I want to over clock my n7 too lol

there is no such thing as a safe overclock. overclocking, by nature, carries some risk. that said, i havent seen anyone brick their device from overclocking.

Just wondering
Why do you feel the need to OC?
I go to 1.6 but use the Trinity App to go back to stock when OC not needed
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I have not over clocked the Nexus 7 yet but one way to test your devices max is to use setcpu. Make sure you do not have "set on boot" option selected. Then step up your cpu. If your cpu can not handle the over clock it will force restart. If you do not have the set at boot selected it will revert back to the last good state on restart.
Each device is different on what it can handle for over clock.

To be honest I doubt you'll notice much increase from oc the CPU since the CPU already is so powerful nothing pushes it to max really.
Only thing worth overclocking is GPU really. And at that, your not going to notice a difference unless your playing some intense games.
Hey guys, touch booster is really annoying on this phone. It pushes the phone to 1.06GHz everytime I touch it, and is starting to bug me.
Is there anyway to keep it scaling up properly?
I'm no expert at this stuff, but isn't this fast jump in CPU clock what pretty much makes Project Butter possible?
If I understand right (and I probably don't), I think this might have to do with with governor in-use. If your rooted; try using a different governor and then touching the screen.
Great, so now people are complaining about Project Butter's features... ok
How exactly does something like this bug you?

The CPU goes up when you touch it so it can be responsive and quick to your inputs. How is this so annoying?
If you root it you can lower the max or change the governor buy chances are you will lose much of your responsiveness.
I understand that it is good for us to discuss issues and problems but some of the things I am seeing here are just really nit picking and complaining about things that are not bad at all. We are a spoiled society of humans, some more than others i guess.

Under clocking will save battery in most cases but ot will also make your phone sluggish and slow depending on how much.

You have no idea what you are talking about.
Check the meaning of "MINIMUM CPU FREQUENCY".
P.S. O and btw I'm changed it to 384MHz on my Nexus 4. AND........wait for it........my nexus 4 is not slow and crappy........woo mind blown!
What I find interesting is on the nexus 4 the governor is on demand , and the scaling range is 0mhz- 1026mhz ( you can check using CPU spy +)
However on the nexus 10 , the governor is interactive and the scaling range is 0mhz -200mhz
I wonder why that is

It's called 'saving power'.
As long as it doesn't lag and clocks itself up to maximum when required, there's nothing to worry about.
Or you can get some CPU clock app and set it on maximum performance. But don't be surprised if you can boil eggs on it then and the battery dies in 2 hrs :good:

clear the data for tkt and reboot. if you are using tkt, you dont need a powerhal script, since tkt runs it automatically after opening it.

let me ask the obvious.. how much space do you have left in your storage? i believe antutu needs you to have at least 300mb left, if not more, so it can run the write/read tests.

antutu doesnt brick phones. the n4 has an issue with the battery, how its read(red light of death). heat can bring it on. the only role that antutu plays here is that it can produce high heat if benching high cpu speeds.
Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and fairly new to Hacking and overclocking android devices. However I have been building and overclocking high end PC's for sometime. So I am no stranger to the risks or processes of overclocking.
But I have some questions that maybe you all can help me out with before I start overclocking my Nexus 7.
Here are my Current Specs and Software:
Nexus 7 Wi-fi version
SmoothRom v5.0 + LeanKernel
Currently I am overclocked to 1500 Mhz Max with 204 Mhz Min + Stock voltage
I have been able to find information about CPU overclocking. But after extensive searching I have not been able to find much on Nexus 7 GPU overclocking.
1. Does my kernel support GPU overclocking?
2. If so how do I enable it? Or where is it located? and what settings should I be looking for (Names)?
3. If you need an App to overclock the GPU are there any that are free (Or at least one worth paying for?).... and which one if any supports my kernel?
4. Are there any good Nexus 7 CPU and GPU overclocking guides someone could point me to?
Basically I am looking for someone who is experienced in Nexus 7 overclocking, to point me in the right direction and help me with some indepth questions that may come up.
Thanks guys

According to System tweaks App 39c to 40c while idling in that program. I don't know how accurate that app is though.... so if there is a standard better app to monitor your CPU/GPU temps I am all ears
I have yet to find an app that allows you to monitor your temps during load. Again if you can suggest one I am all for it.

Lean kernel doesn't have GPU over clocking settings. Try M-kernel, you'll find gpu settings in the specific menu of trickster mod.
