Root Droid X 2.2 Overclock (Kernel Module w/Instructions)

I've tried lower vsel settings but they all rebooted my phone :-/

Why would lower help? One or more of your vsel settngs are too low as it is. Finding out which one(s) is unique to every phone. I suggest cranking them all up, then lowering each individually until your phone crashes during intense testing. Then you'll know where each lower limit is.

Edit: actually, all of your settings already look pretty high, perhaps too high. OCing is definitely more of an art with no hard and fast rules.
 
okay, so adding a 5th echo line yielded no rewards, but a tip that i thought of:

if you mess with the settings a lot and your phone reboots often,
you can delete the setscaling.sh command in the install-recovery.sh and then install that file,
so you can just have the overclock module injected at startup,
so you don't have to type in the command everytime.


...if that makes any sense in english.
 
so ive noticed that on my phone which was a replacement after the official froyo release bricked it the only way i can get above 1.1ghz and have it stable is having the scaling set as performance which leaves the processor running full capacity. but there is good news. ive successfully oc'ed my dx to 2ghz. im usin the unstable apps overclocker app. im wondering if i can oc it to 3ghz...

Does it have 2GHz as one of the preset?
 
no i manually placed it in there. the vsel that i used was 78 that the preset 1.45ghz uses. im gonna linpack and quadrant it then screenshot it. i dont consider it stable because it doesnt fluctuate but it runs smooth. only works on my phone when its set to performance.

edit: just did first quadran. 341 lol. linpack was 2.889. definetly not quick. ill keep testing

mind posting the freqs and voltage so i may test myself? also are you running any thing other then stock rom.?
 
to be honest im not seeing any performance gain. its actully bit sluggish and linpack and quadrant readings are poor. just showing 2ghz in setcpu. and im using blurry rubix

400000/27
700000/38
1000000/56
2000000/84
 
For my phone, now that I adjusted my 1.2ghz settings (post #503) to 63 vsel for 1.2ghz, runs very well even with flash (I was streaming NFL all day). I previously tried 63vsel and it locked up before, but that was during the first day of overclocking and maybe my phone just wanted to be stable for a bit before I played around with more settings (I think I made it crash like 15 times that day). For those that are having some issues, maybe find a nice stable setting, and let your phone get use to it for a bit, then play around with it some more. I've also cranked down my 300mhz vsel to 19.

Dude, fail. Why do that when it's totally slowing your quadrant? You are lower than OG droid. Not that quadrant means much, but it's still slower. Not much functionality if you ask me.

I think he's just experimenting and showing the results, not to run it in turtle indefinitely.

lol no my point was to show you that its not really 2 ghz. it shows 2000mhz but in reality you cant actually use that speed with the processor. i had to put my setcpu scaling to performance and my processor wouldnt fluctuate. and then on top of that as you can see no performance gain at all. sluggish just like in the video. if we could get a new kernel on the phones then yea we might be able to get to 2 and 3 ghz maybe but at the moment this is just messin with the program.
 
Good stuff here. I really enjoy being able to get my linux on with this phone.

Anywho, OCing mine. It'll run at 1300 fine but doesn't pass a load test at 66 for voltage. Should I try upping it or cutting it back?I bumped it to 70 but haven't gotten a chance to load test yet.

Thoughts? Should this have been a separate thread? I'm new here (obviously from my post count).

Thanks guys

i would test it at 70, i have mine running 1300@68 for the past day, and its been stable
 
Im currently running 1.2ghz for a week now and running great. 300/800/1000/1200... 27/50/56/66. Had to restart launcher pro after installing 1.2 ghz. 1600+ quand. Trying 1.3 but so far no luck.
 
testing 1.47 w/ max 81. will report with further results. still tyring to play with voltage to try to keep it as low as possible

edit:19.684 on linpack. whats that mean?

Cool beans. Is there a way we can get the updated overclock.ko? Now that I have gscript set up I like the old school method without the need for an app.

I'm a little reluctant to post a compiled module with what those other guys have done... JRummy and Unstable Apps have over 1000 downloads each... Based off of Tiago's work..

Can you guys using JRummy/Unstable Apps Overclock do me a favor and in terminal/adb:

$ su
# cat /proc/overclock/*

And post the results?

I can't, cause I refuse to pay for an app that steals from a freely available Open Source Project, for a quick buck.
