[q] gingerdx overclocking - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i installed gdx v009 and overclocked it and set the setcpu to 729 Mhz - 122 Mhz. i'm having some trouble sometimes my phone just automatically reboot by it self... is there a way to fix this? or should i uninstall overclock and run it on stock ram. have anyone of you tried this kind of setup? any answers/reply or comments are welcome. please. thanks in advance.

Try lowering your Overclock.
I've heard that some people had reboot problems with OC (but not only in this ROM).
Mine is 122-691Mhz with GingerDx.008 and its okay.

Realy? What seems to be the problem on my unit.... maybe i should set my setcpu setting the same way you did... how about supercharger script have you tried? I brick my phone twice trying that supercharger.

Nope. I didn't try to use supercharger.
I've read that when we want to OC, we should try the different CPU speeds gradually.
Increase a bit and then see if the phone handles it... then increase a bit more... when the reboots or other problems start, we know which frequence we should use.
But the frequence is not the same for every CPUs... The phone is the same, but not every CPUs handle the same... We can be lucky and get it to 800Mhz without problems... but not everyone has that lucky.

Good for you, now i reduce the speed and set it to 729 mhz still under observation i hope this will fix the problem...

Hi all,
any idea why I get no options to set min. and max. CPU frequencies in CPU settings? I am using GingerDX v011 and had the same problem in v010.
I can open the "Max CPU frequency" option, but it is empty with no available frequencies to choose...
Thank you

For using something exactly like supercharger, use the stuff in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212396&page=14
Each phone can OC to a different max frequency, for example I can't OC to 825 MHz but I know some people can.

I believe GingerDx does not ship with the X8Overclock module...

Hello:
I wanna know: is it possible to do overclock in gingerDX-v011 ?
I found a option but they are blocked

yes it is possible but you need to download X8overclock v004. you will find this in DX's signature, just click the link read the guide download and stick it on your phone where he tell's you to. then go back to W/E it is you use to OC then the option's aint blocked anymore.
Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486 click that go to bottom of one of dx's post's in his signature click the X8overclock v004 link. FOLLOW instruction's. DONE
Hope i help'd
If so please Click " THANKS "

Im on gingerdx v018 with undervolt modules(stock kernel), when I try to overclock my phone, it become very unstable(very laggy).. Do I have to remove the underclock module? If so can I just remove the module from the module folder.. thanks in advance!

As far as I know undervolt module causes phone instability when it's overclocked, try to remove that module (undervolt) and see what will happen. You can remove just by removing it from module folder and (I'm not sure but) you have to also remove line from hw_config which contains that module.

I am also using GingerDX overclocked at 710Mhz with undervolt but no problem for me so far

[Q] is there a rom that can be stable overclock on the 806 frequency?

I use gingerdx v12 and can sometimes restart itself (unstable)
Look the best of your processor oc.
If you get reboot at 806, it mean your device can't oc to 806
If you bestest overclock, i mean like your best oc is 768, that mean you only can oc from 0 Mhz (??) -- > 768 Mhz
Not connect with your rom!
Hit thanks if i helped you!
Edit: Also wrong thread section, it must at Q&A

Post questions in q&a section.
Each phone has different maximum overclock frequency. The rom doesn't matter, the phone does.
processor might be working harder,i'm affraid overclocking my phone in 800mhz..
i think oc in 710 should be nice and stable but batery drains more faster

Although there might be a relationship between ROM and Overclock Stability, repeated test on various ROMS still gets me the same OC max of 748Mhz.
Please note that overclockability of the CPU depends on the CPU. Not all CPU's of the same make are equal. the design of our X8 called for a 600Mhz CPU clock, so it goes that it will be and always be stable at 600 Mhz. However go more than that and you have no guarantee at which Max Clock you will get. If you could go to 800 without FC and/or reboots then consider yourself very lucky.
for me.. i can't go far.. im using GingerCruzt.. and it has an option on overclocking.. once i checked the overclocked my phone reboots always..
I can overclock with the Gingercruzt v7.3 oc module to 806Mhz, and it's not restart. Doxianh module i can max 768Mhz
Sorry for my english :S

I can confirm OC @806Mhz with GC OC module (instead of DX's), running on MiniCM7 2.0.7...stable.
hmm when i using gingerDX v11, i tried overclock to 806Mhz and it stable for a while, but in 5 minutes i think, my device get reboot...
all roms can stable at 787Mhz in my device.. no reboot no force close... just stable and smooth, but battery drain

can't overclock more then 748mhz using nAa11 nd custom rom xperience v4

oh dear, if you cant overclock more then, you cant overclock more! Its just tough luck mate
More is not a good idea for daily use... You will get some lag in multitasking..
Best for daily use (to my point of view) is 122 / 729.. More my phone was very laggy sometimes..
how to overclock in the first place?
can someone please give me the link on how to do it??
thanks!
Bah,
Go on parameters > cyanogemmod > performance > CPU : select your frequencies, check overclock and keep on boot and reboot.
If you've got the good kernel (as naA), that's all
i'm using gingerdx v22 with stock kernal
and i can OC it To 787
but i prefer 748 or 768
it's just luck!
but 748 is good,isn't it? at least for me
You can try and play with various governors,i think some go higher....
Guys, in general, there are 2 kinds of X8 concerning hardware.
If you got lucky, then you can overclock your X8 up to 806.
On the other hand, if you are unlucky (like me), then you will NEVER be able to have a stable OC over 719. It is just a matter of hardware
i could see the min and max frequency, but i can't edit it..
when i press it,it only shows a cancel button..
is it because i have a locked bootloader?
been searching yesterday about unlocking bootloader,and it's too risky(well, i've had enough rooting my x8.. LoL)..
and regarding to the governors lists,the frequencies does not changed even though i chose a different one..
needless to say, it's still 122-600Mhz..

i'm not stupid; i know what the search button stands for!

or no..for me it's the same..but i use alfs and i can go up to 768mhz..in nAa i only can 748mhz..
then OP, CHANGE KERNEL!
I don't think you can overclock with stock kernel
You need to unlock your bootloader to have a custom kernel. Then you'll can overclock

Follow the steps in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020313) and then you will be able to overclock your X8, even without unlocked bootloader.
if ever i did it, and somewhere in time i want to return to the old one, could i just delete this module??will the phone frequencies return to default??

Ofcourse you can overclock with stock kernel, just make sure the x8oc module is loaded before you try.

Yes, you can delete it, but not necessarily. You can change the frequencies manually in Settings > CyanogenMod > Performance > CPU, or you can either install SetCPU to control them, so you can keep the module if you want to overclock it again later.
I can Oc to 691mhz only ....
guess am the most unlucky here... ;(
I can overclock to 729 mhz!!

nice to hear that..thanks!
anyway, when I went from v22 to v23b, the x8oc.ko on the module folder has been deleted..so i guess(not really sure) that it would be deleted when you install another rom..

Module-OC

Hello,
My phone -xperia x8 white e15i
Kernel - Stock
It don't matter what Rom I use I can only OC till 691 MHz at 710mhz my.phone freeze and reboot.
also I get reboot time to time on 691.
I heard that very x8 should atleast be stable at 710
my question is.
Do I get a higher stable frequency if I use a different module other than Dix's???
I came across a module which offers a higher frequency .... search for better overclock you will find the thread.....so will I get a higher frequency? ?? using the other module???
I USED THE SEARCH BUTTON BEFORE POSTING.
so don't yell at me. : )
Help
I'm not too sure about this one since I'm a part noob much like you but have you tried flashing a different kernel such as Alfs? linuxxd is really good but doesn't allow overclocking as I found out with the same problem as yourself Sorry I meant stock kernel doesn't allow overclocking ...
If I helped you please answer my question on a new thread I made
It's up to your phone. Your processor can go till that frequency without freezing. Other X8s can go higher. It doesn't depend on the ROM or kernel.
A custom kernel allows better overclocking most of the time. When I was on stock kernal the highest I could get to was 710Mhz before rebooting. With a custom kernel I can get to 787Mhz before rebooting.

@guys above thanks for answering ...
but I still don't get the answer ....
anyways if I change my kernel then I will be changing the software part only .... so how can it increase my CPU potential .. ?????

dependent on yes. with stock kernel to kernel naa 691 Mhz 806 big diference
what about.a different module??? it can increase potential? ??

You need to understand that the stock kernel is not designed for overclocking, it's only possible with modules for stock kernel.
You can try the other module but I doubt it'll be any improvement, if you want better overclocking you really should install a custom kernel.

Hello
I overclock my mini at 710 mhz
It stable but is dangerous for cpu ?
The life of cpu is reducted ?
Thanks for you

Of course the life of the cpu is reduced but not so much. I think it is not dangerous unless you set performance for scaling. I usually overclock it at 729 Mhz and have not problems at all

i don't think it's dangerous if it still around 7xx, cuz i've use that for a while now n it's ok.
but i've try oc once with 864mhz and i found some problem that it suddenly get stopped working(hang), i try to reboot n it still the same.
will you guys tell me how to overclock to 700+ i tried using setcpu...but dont know what to do next, currently using stock ROM 2.3.6, Rooted
Please post the link or pm me

If you have stock, then there is no overclock for you. Usually, custom ROMs have overclock feature and apps like setcpu, nofrills, etc works on these ROMs.. You'll have to flash custom ROMs first before you can OC or you can check this page from godell:

OC kernels for stock rom.. Disclaimer: Read first before you do anything. Do it at your own risk..
710 MHz is veeery safe. I only stopped my OC at 806 MHz because on 825 Mhz it was not stable.
At 806 MHz my phone do not heat up, and I didn't notice my battery dying faster.
PS: I OC my phone for more than 6 months continuously (GOvernor: LilgV2; I/O: noop). And use No Frills CPU.
I am having S5570DDKQ7 BaseBand Version, coz in thread he has mentioned not to use this for DDKQ7 version. Please post it in the thread.
as i am not able to post in thread coz i am having less than 10 posts.
thank for all

[Q] Can't change CPU freqvency?!

I'm on stock XXAMG4 rooted rom. Root works but I can't change CPU freq. I tried SETCpu and NoFrills but neither works. Only thing I can change is governor. I don't want to overclock my device, I want to set min. 400 mhz and max. 800 mhz but when I select those freqvency nothing happens.
Any tip?

use a kernel that allows you to set a frequency
I would never think of that...
