Hey guys, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and it's running well. But I was wondering, now that the bootloader is unlocked (or just in general) is there a way to overclock my RAZR on the stock ROM?
The phone is fast but with the great battery life I wouldn't mind some extra horsepower throughout the day.
Thanks in advance

i have not unlocked my bootloader yet, i dont see a reason to atm.. but with root, there is an app called pimp my rom, its the best i have seen, every option you can think of, even resolution tweaks..

Sick app, i saw the governor tweaks but i didn't see a straight up overclock?
Also, do you know any solid ways to tweak our resolution? How does that work, really? How can you get a better image out of your screen that way?
Thanks in advance

You need a kernel capable of overclocking to overclock, so keep an eye on kernel development. It's sure to pick up the Razr hd family now that we've unlocked the BL. Also, underclocking > overclocking. I've got an ATT HTC One X, which has the same processor and, thanks to the magic of project butter, I've underclocked as low as 1.3ghz (the lowest current kernels are capable of) without seeing any difference in performance. I do, however, get much better battery

Yeah I'd be really interested in underclocking. No idea what kernels are though. Other than that popcorn hat doesn't pop all the way. I need to learn.

A kernel is like the bridge between software and hardware, it's the Rosetta Stone from which the two communicate.
It affects processor clock speed, screen resolution, volume level, etc.

I have an incredible also and there's about 8-12 different kernels you can choose from, a lot of them have had a big impact on my phones performance and battery life.
Was wondering if the Droid X had any kernels?

No, the locked bootloader prevents us from running a custom kernel as of right now. Aliasxerog, palmer curling and others are working on a kexec module for a 2nd boot

Well how about that, Adrynalyne, I gots me a new kernel! (4a) Keep this up and I'll have to sport ya some beer!
(I think I already owe you a case)
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
thank you kind sir!
ohh downlaods 4a FAST
Smooth as always, don't bother downloading anyone else's kernels.
Any chance I can get a 4a thats 1228mhz at stock volts like the kernel we spoke about from te.zip?
I will buy you a beer
Ughh, seriously adrynalyne?! So I was all happy with Drod's kernel yesterday, now I think I might just have to flash these kernels (b or c) to test out because they look THAT AMAZING! You developers are just aweomse for the Thunderbolt! So many options! I love it! I don't know who I like most! Thanks again
I'm loving the b kernel. Nice work! thanks!
A couple questions before I make my decisions. Is 4a the follow up for Kernel2.0 from the previous thread that was posted (i am currently using adryn kernel 2.0 and wasnt sure if this was based on that). Second. If i wanted to install the oc kernel just for the heck of having it, if I didnt overclock it and left it at the regular 1ghz, would it still run at a higher voltage and affect battery life or would it be the same volatage as 4a until you actually overclocked it? Please let me know. Thanks.
Any chance we can get a pure stock kernel as either a zip for clockwork or a bootloader install so we can revert if needed? I think the one in rom manager still breaks wifi. Thanks,

There is a boot.img file in the original basic debloat thread which I believe is stock also the stock kernel on rm is stock and wifi did work for me with np.
Just reread what you asked for obviously the boot.img has to be applied in fastboot with adb. But again rm does work.
Just flashed the 4a kernel and everything is smooth as always.. thanks man

You can clock it with setcpu to 1228 and get the same result here. Is that ok?

Yes, it continues from 2.0.
If you use an of kernel and choose not to overclock, you will not run at the higher voltage.

Good work.
Good job as always. I have a quick question. This new awesome kernel runs undervolt and only overvolts at speeds greater than 1.3GHz?
if i just install 4.0a, I do not need to install set cpu correct?
This phone at 1ghz is plenty fast
Possible bug, when screen is on and using smart ass clock never drops below 768. When using on demand it does. I was running protekk's battery sipper before this and smartass would indeed dip below 768. Is this by design? Is that how smartass is indeed supposed to work?
edit: I see that you metion smartass is not working completely correctly
Great work
Great work.
hi i just bought a ns4g and i was wondering if there was a one click root ? i searched and found some but none for 2.3.4 ns4g only regular nexus... correct me if im wrong please and also i read that aosp has built in tethering and i was wondering if im not rooted or anything i wont get charged by using tethering? and last question i come from a epic and my nexus' speaker sounds really low is there a mod to this in the roms or is that a phone problem?
Here is the one-click root.

I have not heard of anyone being charged for using the built-in tethering (yet).

It might help to flash a custom kernel that supports voodoo control. Be careful not to boost the volume too much and blow the speaker. As with all mods, once you depart from stock there is a risk of screwing things up, especially if you don't what you're doing.

There is, but I don't suggest using it... it is easy to root the phone, just look up the guide and have fun. It's fun to figure out how to do stuff.
I have not heard of anyone being charged for tethering, but it does not tether 4G.
Download voodoo control from the market (requires a custom kernel, I suggest matrix kernel), it can raise the sound level.
have fun!
Matrix kernel is the best? Or which is the best

What are the main differences between the two? I know Mikeyinid's stock(ish) rooted rom comes with Matr1x because they work well together from what I gather.

Both support bln, voodoo, overclock up to 1.4 MHz, and undervolt (for better battery and less stability).
Netarchy supports several additional features, such as touchscreen sensitivity tweaks if you tweak the config files. See the OP for the full list of features.
Matr1x runs at 1.2GHz by default (i.e. without changing the settings in Set CPU). It includes a custom boot animation, which you can change back if you like. Overall, it seems to be more stable, a bit smoother, and better for battery life. Compactness, stability, and battery life seem to be higher priorities to the dev than adding exciting new features. It is less tolerant of undervolting, if that's a concern. Turn off things such as wifi and 4g before flashing, to avoid issues.
Both devs are phenomenal, and I don't think you could go wrong with either. James Bond is also quite popular. For either, cfs seems to be slightly more stable than bfs for most people.
Note: Put the flamethrowers down. These are my own personal opinions and observations. YMMV
Matr1x kernel is very good i use it as my daily, if i were you i would just try them all and see which you prefer.
I have heard nothing but great things from both devs and their followers. I will probably try Matr1x first because it comes with Mikeyinid's rom already and his rom is about what I am looking for.

This is also how i feel. Also you cant overclock the stock kernel until someone releases a custom one. You could try but it wont stick.

I know what you mean .... I just overclocked it to see what was the max to set .... I think that it can hit easily to 2ghz on the international version .... I don't know about the US version ....

I'm not sure I see a point to overclocking yet
maybe after the phones been out a while and everything settles down we could have a custom kernal that would be easy to under or overvolt
but i really dont think the phone needs it...i'm more looking forward to custom roms like a pretty much pure google ICS or JB rom maybe with some extras added in

im using aokp rom and ive overclocked mine to 1.7ghz depends on the phone. some phones can go to 1.8ghz if lucky if not then 1.6 ghz, it varies from phone to phone
I'd imagine Quick Clock would work on these. Not my favorite way to overclock, but its easy.

Regardless, no.
well incase anyone was still interested I tested stock and underclocked both before and after v6 and found my answer. The images are stock, 1036 MHz underclocked, v6 stock, and v6 1036 MHz underclocked. This was all using cfq I/o scheduler and interactive governor. the 1036 MHz underclocked ranked just below the stock n3 according to antutu and above my stock test. I know everyone has their own opinions with benchmarking and what app is used but atleast this gives me my answer.
To be honest, I don't even know what v6 Supercharge is supposed to do, but this is what I get. My set up is in my sig
Edit: For clarification, I'm using cfq/interactive with stock kernel settings as well.
