the note 3 is already fast as hell, buuuuut lets just go ahead and say that some of us are speed demons, would it be a bad idea to overclock the cpu on the note? or would that just be over kill and mess the phone up?

LOL, I'm sure it does although I always find that kernels are more of a placebo than anything. (and I've run every kernel known to man at one time or another).
In all my years of running them, I invariably find that no matter how overclocked/undervolted etc.etc.etc. that although they are certainly fun to play with, the system always runs just as good for everyday use with the stock kernel the system came with.
I agree that oc'ing/undervolting this beast would be worth it....it's kinda like why not? it'll be a noticable difference i predict

new ****s comin out daily for android.
id love to get an android port goin for my leo, itd b a much more beautiful piece of technology
At the same time, there's still no decent multi format video player on android... and that actually matters a lot more than overclocking a few MHz
True, multimedia is more serious, but (i know, i know here goes) the Droid is overclockable to nearly double it's clock speed and still remains kinda stable. If the HD2 could even be overclocked just 300-400mhz it would really be insane. The Nexus is already being pushed, why not push the HD2?
sounds like one quick way to have a very expensive paperweight,
1ghz is more than enough for what is primarily a telephone. perhaps if applications were followed more, updated, improved etc etc and took efficent use of the hardware availible then overclocking wouldn't even enter your mind.
overclocking should stay in home computers (its cheaper to fix ) i see no reason to attempt to get an extra 1mhz out of a phone worth £470 only to see it exhale a small puff of smoke and turn into 50pence worth of scrap...
get involved with the development of the apps you use, make them better, thats the way forward

lol thats true, im sure some overly keen 'clocker will no doubt prove us wrong... many moons ago i did overclock my i-mate JAM another 50mhz or so in order to gain and extra few fps when watching .wmv movies... the battery life was shocking though!

Vogue GPU overclock
Changes that were made can be found here
That's a MSM7k device, we have a MSM7kA device which has a slightly higher stock GPU clock at 256mhz(actually the driver lists it at 128mhz, lol wtf) compared to the non A devices 128mhz(downclocked to 100mhz).
Chances of a few small edits gettings this to work? likely.

Im looking into this right now.. But im so tired its not even funny. This will give me something to do with my time off tomorrow.
Ill compile a kernel with it undervolted as well and see how well it works when booted. I think i actually have one somewhere on my linux boot up.

If anything, can you try and get the undervolt first? It would be nice to have more battery life before killing it all on an OC GPU xD But I'm glad to know that it shouldn't be too hard

nvm that. I just flashed it, and according to uname -a, it is #15 like you said. So far, the boot's fine. Any way I can check the undervolt is working?
Aaaaaaaand she booted xD Nice work Darch!
I'm very excited by this prospect. Like had been said, why buy an evo, especially when it's capped at 30 fps. I bet we get close to 40 with this!

Ok well I figured where our driver identifies the clock settings:
But i'm not sure where the settings come from?
http://github.com/darchstar/CdMa-HeRoC-2.6.29/blob/master/drivers/video/msm/gpu/kgsl/kgsl.c
Line 130:
Code:
static void kgsl_clk_enable(void)
{
clk_set_rate(kgsl_driver.ebi1_clk, 128000000);
clk_enable(kgsl_driver.imem_clk);
clk_enable(kgsl_driver.grp_clk);
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_MSM7227
clk_enable(kgsl_driver.grp_pclk);
#endif
}
Then kgsl.h would contain the struct for this: http://github.com/darchstar/CdMa-HeRoC-2.6.29/blob/master/drivers/video/msm/gpu/kgsl/kgsl.h
If I'm not mistaken.

I dont think darch could do it.. He is smart and can figure a lot out. But we would either have to do a lot of trial and error or get toasts to look into it. He still does small work on the hero and im sure what he learns from the hero he could implement it to the Evo.
Maybe its just me but I feel like overclocking our phones is unnecessary. It seems like its just for boostin benchmark scores and it doesn't really affect real world performance. For me I used setcpu and it makes the phone slower and laggy when on conservative. Is that just setcpu not playing nice with my phone?
Tapatalkin it from my Epic 4G
Overclocking, for most part, is all about getting the most you can out of what you have. For some its a numbers game, for others it's just because you can. Personally, I like at least having the option open. However, my Epic doesn't like 1.2ghz.
Stock speeds are enough most of the time. I don't usually run the programs that use 100% of the cpu, so I really don't need to worry about it. Though, if I had the capability to OC.. I would.
As for setcpu, I've never experienced any overly excessive lag or anything brought about by its use. Though, by its nature it will be slightly slower to respond.
Coming from a hero, i can tell you overclocking is certainly not a gimmick! It may not be as necessary on these epic cause its crazy-awesome fast from the box, but it still helps. I keep mine at 1.6ghz on conservative, and performance when i play certain games. For me its about the multi-tasking improvment. Also i like to see my icons fade in smooth no matter what i have going on in the phone
But for me at least, its far more than just a benchmark score. However it is pretty sweet telling my iphone rocking coworkers to eat my ghz

Well first it depends completely on your phone, all are different in terms of what they can handle, so each individual phone will respond differently to overclocking/undervolting. I can personally run 1.2, 1.3, and the 1.6 completely fine, while a lot of people can't run any of these. In terms of performance, it does make a difference with animation speeds, fps on games such as pocket legends or angry birds, and overall lagginess. But again, this is dependant on your phone.

Are you running v1.2.0? If so, the fps cap is not fixed on this version because Devin removed the 1.6ghz step which allows the framerate to be raised. It works on some phones, but not all which is why he removed it.

The same argument comes up every once in a while concerning PC overclocking. I admit the phone overclocking has yet less benefits and even more downsides, but oh well, it's still super neato.

Exactly, you have to compare this to pc overclocking because it is the same exact thing. Two processors of the same make and model will overclock differently no matter what, it depends entirely on the die. Correct, the benefits are less noticeable, but it still makes a difference.

Do you guys know of ways to better these scores?
Use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer
Unless your phone actually feels sluggish I wouldnt worry about quadrant scores. If it is sluggish try installing Voodoo or one of the Universal Lagfix in the developers section.

But with the current setup, you typically have 11-15 or so things that are open and TSR, if you remove alot of those to make it a vanilla barebones, then o.c it...... you can improve the score........

Stock 2.2.1 is the fastest/smoothest ROM I've used on this phone ever and it hasn't even been optimized. I also downloaded the Dragon Kernel v3.6 and overclocked it to 1.28Ghz and its very stable. I always use my friends iPhone 4 to compare speeds and with the current setup I have now their isn't any difference in speed.
This game runs very slow on my evo. I use sprintlovers rom. so, what should i do ?

Dude overclocking is safe you must be pretty new at this. Well there's diff kernels you could flash over your current SENSE sprint lovers rom to give it more kick to play your game. That game requires really high end phones with better gpu's. Give your evo that extra boost man for games like that.

in sum, yes, it can be done, and can be safe, if done right, but the risks are possibly not worth the %10-20 "performance increase". for me, battery drain, overheating, not worth it. but like DD mentioned first, perhaps better to just flash a AOSP based rom, something that's going to be faster "just because" then to force the CPU to work harder.
The Evo's gpu (Adreno 200) is underpowered. That's why you don't see it on the recommended list. They are suggesting at least Andreno 205 which include G2, DesireHD, even the Evo Shift. I've had this game too and tried overclocking, but it's just gpu limited. There's no difference. Don't get me wrong the game will run, but I don't see it playable at 20 fps IMO. I'm gonna save this game for my next device. I'm a bit disappointed too.
