[Q] Arc S ICS Overclock Method

Anyone knows how to overclock Xperia Arc/ Arc S with android 4.0.3?
it would be wonderful if it can be done like in 2.3.4.

Depends on the kernel you use..! And use setcpu or no frills cpu control.

my kernel version is the original one.. -> 2.6.32.9-perf
ive tried setcpu n it stuck on 1401Mhz which is the actual processor speed of Arc S..
i was wondering is there got any specific data to do the ICS overclock because i went thru internet to check and sadly most of the time i only got the method to overclock for 2.3.4.. there is no real way to overclock 4.0.3 android for arc s yet thru internet i supposed?

To overclock you need to use a custom kernel. With Stock/Original kernel you can not overclock, I think. Look in the ARC Development section for custom kernel, that can be used for over clocking.

You have to flash a Custom Kernel.... Either DoomKernel or ArcKnight

Jimbo77, is there any way to overclock without unlocking the bootloader? Is any such kernel available?

Could any harm come from overclocking?! (except for battery life will be shorter)

You can potentially damage your phone if you don't over clock safely.

By damage you mean from the heat that might come from overclocking?!
or something else?!
cuz I overclocked my Arc S to 2GHz using DoomKernel and SetCPU

I haven't overclocked myself, so I can't answer that for you. All I know is unsafe overclocking could damage the processor from pushing it past its limit (I think).
But you've overclocked without any problems, then I wouldn't worry too much.

I guess I will look up more info by searching the forum to see if anyone has encountered and issue or damage.

No, you need to unlock bootloader to be able to push a custom kernel to the phone.

For sure you can harm your device permanently remember that you're pushing the cpu way beyond it's planned capacity but as per my own experience and by reading a lot through the forums...
You can safely OverClock up to 20% above the original margin, so lets said that you have the ARC you can easily and safely push the phone up to 1.2GHZ and it wouldn't cause that much harm...

thanks bro. yeap i knew that but the problem is. the kernel is for 2.3.4 i supposed? i need to know whether is it can be used in 4.0.3 too? because the kernel version being said so on "not remember which threads i read before" only for gingerbread version. so im telling myself that my phone might brick or give prob if the kernel doesnt support 4.0.3 version of android.
do u know any kernel that can be flash in android 4.0.3 version for arc s?

kernel for CM 10.2 with overclocking capabilities?

I probably searched for oc kernel for days now.There isn't right?

have you even looked in the development forums
there are lots of kernels that have oc capabilities, and that are compatible with cm 10.2.

Yes i do. Mybe the problem is in me,could you give as a link to 1 kernel for example.Thanks.

trinity kernel, latest, tf4h is the name http://goo.gl/wteFmX
it can be clocked to 1728mhz, but you need a cpu control app for that. its defaulted to 1026mhz when it boots. dont let the 1026mhz scare you, its as quick as many other kernels at 1512mhz
trinity fours xda thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083904&page=2189
just flash over what you have now, dont wipe a single thing! make a nandroid backup in recovery if you want

You might wanna give him TF3 Full instead if he wants to use 4 cores instead of 2, or maybe something like TF133 if he's on 4.2 :good:

I am clocking using Elemental X App like your recommendation in the OP.
And what gov will give best results? Any prefs?

I dont know what it is... But I cant get a good run with your kernel. Day to day use its nice... But as far as benchmarks I cant get the results that I "feel" from your kernel.
Could also be "my" ROM tweaks just dont like your kernel, **** happens

True
I find it so funny that I can't seem to git past the 61-2k mark on
elementalX. I wonder why? But who knows
But in the end of the day
The one that's the most smooth wins

Both kernels are smooth. Good job to both of you! :good:
But like any device you have CPU Bins... My bin may be the same as Flar2's and your bin may be different...
Case in point... I cannot O/C my Nexus 6 with Flar2's kernel but it runs smooth. Agitates my I cant O/C but its smooth so I cant really complain.
Benchmarks are just for bragging rights anyways! How the every day usage feels is the important part. I think the two kerenls (yours and his) are equal for daily usage!
I would recommend either. They are both great!
Wish I had Kernel skills like that! Im just a ROM guy

I have stock nexus 9 decrypted, elemental x kernel OC to 2499 an GPU of to 984, deadline scheduler... Can't ever seem to get more than 58k....
So weird that the USB host guy says "stock ROM with elemental kernel" and Gert's like a 67k out the gate.
I cant even Check the CPU BIN because this is an Nvidia chip and that info isn't stored in the same place in android as it is ith Qualcomm chipsets.

Note 3 N9005 cant overclock processor

Hi guys, fairly new to modding my phone, have tried a few different roms and kernels over the last week, and have sort of settled on cyanogen CM12.1 lolliop 5.1.1. with the kernel that comes with the rom. I've been seeing a few posts/roms that claim its possible to overclock the processor to 2.7ghz now I've tried to install synapse, and stweaks neither of which seem compatible, so I have kernel adiutor installed, but the max frequency it will offer me is 2,3 ghz, am I missing something? can't seem to find any info, can anyone point me in the right direction please

No apps can overclock if the kernel doesn't support the overclock.
Not all phones can can reach so high overclock.
Get arters kernel for cm12.1. Or use cm12.1 by temasek which supports up to 2.5

Thanks for the advise, I'm going to install arters kernel now and see what happens

I installed the arter kernel, and still no overclocking, also reduced my Antutu bench from 45403 down to 3400ish, so gone back to cm12.1 kernel for now. any ideas why I can't increase mas cpu speed?

Maybe it doesn't support till 2.7GHz. Try different kernel

Ok. well I have an update, I flashed the kitkat 4.4 liquid smooth rom yesterday, and that allowed me to overclock the cpu but unfortunatly, even overclocked it was slower than Tamasks cm12.1 rom, I also tried the liquid smooth lollipop rom, but again, it didn't allow me to overclock the cpu, it was faster than the kitkat rom, but still not as fast as the cm12.1 so I've gone back to that for now. Its looking like something to do with the lollipop version of android thats stopping the cpu from being overclocked....

Hm strange

Will we ever find out why standalone kernels won't boot on nougat bootloader?

Gotta ask, did you fix the sleep of death issue? From version 1.9 too 2.2 my phone, either in sleep or in use, will lock up after a few hours and I have to force restart it. Clock speeds and everything else is irrelevant as there was something wrong in the kernel itself. Anyways thanks for continuing the development. The kernel was amazing besides the hangs

MIUI Stock Kernel with Overclock
*Sorry for my bad english
Can you make MIUI Stock kernel with adding CPU freq 2,3 Ghz Big Core ,2,2 Ghz Little Core CPU, and GPU to 650 Mhz ? ,
I just discovered that removing Thermal config in /etc/thermal-engine-8996.conf boost performance and stability for playing emulator game like Tekken 6 and Monster Hunter P3rd (both with OpenGL), and Digimon World 4 (Dolphin Emu) yet raising CPU to 64 degree Celcius,
I just Wanna know that adding 2,3 Ghz and 650 Mhz is really boost more perfomance for emulator or not.

can you add voltage control?op3t and mi5 have this funcation,and what about miui version

Does this kernel support MIUI or LOS.
Currently I'm on 3.18.31-DragonXia_MIUI_3.9.1 kernel

I installed this. It only change kernel name and doesn't have additional features. No oc, battery fast charge, ntfs support etc like original DragonXia.
Give us a source in this case.
