Root can this work or help with oc?

Did you undervolt at all?

Yes... I used the old school trick. Drop the voltage heavily to force bootloop. Then raise it 25mv at a time till bootloop stops. Then you do stress test, and if screen flickers that means it needs 25mv more. Boom done... Fine tuned OC. Overclocking 101... ;)

I got firmware F boot.img from bobz CM and it's 12.6mb
And yours is 6.3mb. WTH!

Which one do I use? Don't want to brick anyone.

Because 12.6 is probably the full partition size, his was unpacked and repacked so it shaved off all those extra zeros :P

why do you care about f boot.img?

Oh I just want the ramdisk from it. I guess everyone has their own methods, but after building zimage I repack it with the ramdisk. I find that to be the easiest way. I'm sure you guys have your own way, but this one happens to be mine. lol

His is a different firmware version I believe. It is a working signed boot.img. Once you unpack it, wallpaper is gone.

Also, don't you need an aboot?

actually you are right on the money with it. i just wasnt sure if there was some confusion since everyone seemed to not be on the actual correct firmware f and you were asking for its kernel :)

I'll need that aboot for loki, but their might not be any need for my kernel since PG has done a better one.

In any case I'm practically done.
 
Progress Update...

So I had undervolted the stock cpu range(384mhz to 1.512ghz) and after further tests I noticed the cpu takes a tiny hit in performance in that range. We don't want that so I brought it back to stock voltage which is perfect(Qualcomm did good job).

Now in the OC range(1.566ghz to 1.836ghz) I used the lowest possible voltages to the border line that if I lower even the smallest amount(i.e. 25mv) the screen will flicker and cause possible reboot.

So in conclusion the motion OC kernel is done. ;)

Keep in mind, all testing was done on the Spirit. I don't own a motion.

I just need the F aboot.img from you guys so I can loki patch. If someone can provide link please. Oh and I need to upload my source to github.
 
So I plan on getting a replacement spirit soon anyway (screen issues) so I'd be happy to test as well :-) Glad to see an update on the progress

The link has been sent on UPP.

If you can, please post screenies of quadrant & maybe setcpu showing top clock in this thread. :D

The ball's in your court now, we're all waiting on you now. :p
 
Can't wait to check to see if there's anything to test in the morning. Until then good night guys you all kick ass and thanks for doing what you do

Your ball's smell a little like Lay's salt & vinegar chips. We're all waiting on you to shower now. :p

So was that the Motion or Spirit Kernel?
