So Im messing around with my test phone where I can do tests for android and learn stuff. Its a dern old GT-S6500D mini 2. I did overclock it from 800mhz to 1.1ghz wich was a succes after installing a cusotm kernel but wi fi wasnt working so I flashed CM 10.1 on it, fixed the camera that was supposedly not working and when I tryed to install the kernel again I couldnt boot so I restored a backup.
Anyway after this I tryed to overclock CPU via kernel tuner and it worked.
I have CM 10.1 wich is pretty good saying that I had 2.3.6.
Now, the next step is the GPU.
I forced 16bit render via CM, and for games im using this splendid tool GLTools.
But as a previous thread of mine where I asked about apps being fake, I had been told that overclocking GPU is a good method to improve performance.
HOW?
And also if you tell me how, then you could tell me how much, and the risks and fixes.
This thing has Adreno 200. If i cant then its sorta over for the test phone.
EDIT: I wanna soack this phone so bad
 
"soack"?
Just be gentle when overclocking the gpu.it doesn't take much to fry it.
When you say HOW, do you mean how does it improve performance or how do you achieve it?
 
achieve it. I know I can fry it just realised. But in case I wanna do it just so I know how. I dont wanna do it just to know how no h8 pls
 
No h8 from me ever brother :thumbsupdroid:
You need a kernel that supports gpu clocking and some form of compatible kernel tweaking app like STweaks, FKU or Trickster Mod etc
 
It's hard to tell by the description mate. It looks to me like a kernel that isn't user tweakable but I could be wrong
(make sure you make a backup before flashing) sorry I always feel the need to remind that lol
