Possible overclock? - Motorola Droid 3

I found this thread on the bionic forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439013 with overclock zips. The modules for d3 are available here http://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/downloads/list from what I read in the official thread here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14511-op...4-overclocking-kernel-modulesofficial-thread/ it would show up in set cpu and wouldn't require having the MIN jacked all the time. anyone see any reason this wouldn't work?

Working good here. Clocked at 1.2
[edit] So apps do see the max as 1.2, Rom manager, cm settings etc. Linpack shows better performance no different than the 1200 overclock binary. The only thing missing is the 1000 slot, 300 600 800 and 1200 are all useable.
I'd say it's very safe just don't go too high.

Reading in the other threads it appears that much over that and phone will just reboot due to lack of voltage. I thought this would be nice in that the kernel sees the change and we don't have to have the cpu at full throttle

Go to the opptimizer website (Tekahuna's website).
Then go to updates. There should be updated modules there for droid 3 with voltage control.

Yes I just read through the entire thread. Voltage control is a fail for the bionic sadly due to reasons I mostly but not entirely understood. I think the d3 is gonna have the same issue from what I (sorta) understood. However when I have time to sit down and try this I will def post in the official thread to let him know my experience.
I just wanted to show it to the xda d3 community, as the idea of voltage control and a 1.5 or higher oc is exciting (if you're like me and get excited about such things )

I was looking in downloads. OC'd and increase voltage works, my device doesn't like being oc'd much even with the volts up it's unstable above 1.2

What voltage are you trying? 1388000?

Q: is anyone OCed at more then 768 MHz?

Just wondering if anyone has a hack or somthing if so what kernel to get it over 768 MHz?
Not with a great deal of luck.
I've been oc'd up to 844, but started to get the occasional reboot. I was stable at 821. I didn't notice any performance gain, but I did see a greatly increased battery drain. Truthfully, it isn't worth it.

Im oc to 806 runs great. But like user said battery drain for real. And some apps work funny so I agree not worth it. Plus it makes my phone screen warm.

I'll just add to the other remarks. I run 768 all day, but lose stability over 800. Good luck!
I dont think going that far up really gives that much of a performance gain though. Just saying
Not really and my phone freezes at 844 but it is stable at 825 but the same minimal performance gain as 806mhz.

about to flash it finally somone was nice enough to post a zip file!!!!!!!!!!!

Voltage control extreme (overvolting)

Anyone use this and experiencing any benefits from overvolting. I know its pretty unsafe to overvolt but my phone has trouble staying stable at 1.3ghz for more than 20 minutes and was wondering if overvolting it to 1325mv would help? I just don't feel like spending 2 dollars on an app that might not even help.

Don't you mean to say Under-volt because Over-volt which isn't possible, would mean giving more voltage to the frequency meaning more juice being sucked, and most likely wouldn't work out in the first place. haha
1.3Ghz should normally be @ 1325mv anyway, so you would want to Under-volt it 50-100mv if you can, i normally have 600-1000Mhz UV'ed by 50mv, 200-400Mhz UV'ed by 75mv & 100Mhz UV'ed by 100mv. I dont even use anything higher anymore seeing how there is no use for it besides saying " Oh hey look my phone can do this or can do that" only purpose is to
benchmark and who cares anymore haha. Its fun every now and again.

Technically, the over clocked frequencies are under volted by default. That is why some phones can't handle the OC - it's the same issue people have with too much UV on the stock frequencies.
Higher frequencies require higher voltages, but the voltages required by over clock frequencies would exceed the maximum voltage rating of the chip. So the developers had to UV those frequencies to avoid exceeding the max voltage - they decided that instability (and recoverable problems that may result) are a safer risk than burning up the chip

I'll chime in, you are absolutely correct. XxLostSoulXx, you are definitely wrong: of course it is possible to overvolt. I can see the OP's reasoning and I would say go for it, just be careful and keep in mind that you are already above spec voltages for 1.3ghz.

I guess if you say so but i cant OverVolt it only allows me to UVolt.
But if higher frequencies require higher voltages meaning his phone already cant handle why would he give it more voltage on top of it shouldn't he Uvolt to become stable?

I think you're misunderstanding a little. Undervolting reduces the voltage it uses. So less power. Higher frequencies require more power to function well. So taking power away would only make the problem worse. Undervolting is ONLY useful for saving battery power. Overvolting would eat your battery, but give more energy to the higher frequency, and level out the stability.

No. He needs more voltage to power the frequencies he can't handle. Why do you think the phone freezes if you UV too much? And Overvolting is more than possible.

Okay can you give me a screen shot of doing it or a link to the voltage control because i believe i have the latest and i cant theres no option for me to OverVolt when i hit the frequency the bar. its to the right and only can move it to left thus UnderVolting seeing how it says -25,-50 and so on.

Tegrak overclock.
Bought it earlier today, got me stable at 1.3 (instead of only 1.2) with an extra 50mv on both core/internal voltages. Awesome. And its TRUELY faster.

The paid version is called Voltage Control Extreme. It is a paid app. Its an add on to the free Voltage Control. So if you get it and install it, it doesn't show up as another app but it will allow you to overvolt instead of only undervolt. It will help those who can't get 1300 or 1400 stable as long as they don't go overboard with it

The razr uses the same processor as the bionic, the OMAP 4430. It also has the same GPU as well.
The CPU on the razr has be overclocked to run at 1.2Ghz.
The galaxy nexus uses the OMAP 4460 which clocks at 1.5GHz and uses a slightly more powerful GPU than that the 4430 uses.
The nexus has been under locked to run at 1.2Ghz.
In short. The razr and bionic have the same processor and gpu, where they differ is at the kernel level.

I heard 4460 as well, but i also dont have one. Id die though if it was another d2g scheme where they repackage a phone with 1 new option and re-release it as "special" if its the same phone only no removable battery. #Phuckthatfone

OMFG The galaxy nexus is the first phone released with 4460.
As for the RAZR...
The motorola site list the processor as 4430.
It was listed as 4460 on their site after the nexus premier but they changed it back and followed it up in the forums by stating they made a typo which was now corrected.
The teardown of the RAZR also reveals A 4430 CHIP.
IT IS NOT A 4460.

I hope this is possible for the Photon 4G, and by the way, the rom can be modified to work with the Bionic.

Quadrant scores... Huge difference

My last bionic (.2233 ICS leak) scored a 3032. Was in the same range consistently. I just placed an insurance claim. I'm now running the .232 leak and can't get over 2300... Any ideas what is causing the significantly lower scores?

As far as I know it seems to be random. I dont think its specifically newer phones.
After a littlw research, I read that 1.2 ghz chips that failed testing for the razr where placed in the bionic since it was only set to run at 1 ghz but they overclock to the 1.2 if you have one of the failed razr chips.

LG rep visit

My LG rep came by today to show us the new optimus G pro and during this he showed us the Antutu score from his demo device. 19000something. He asked if my phone could get that so I ran it. And during the test I said to him "it's on battery saver mode so I'm not sure how well it's going to compare considering it's the same cpu" after the test finished I showed him the score 23000+. He was kinda speachless and started rambling about something else then asked me to text him a screenshot of that score.
Lol just thought I would share this visit with you guys

Never been a fan of LG phones. Nice to read this. Makes me snicker!
Hyping over getting 19,000?
And the LG is clocked the same as the One?
So, would pulling 20,000, still higher than his phones score, while under clocked to 1.3ghz be a burn and a half or what? Lol
I'm not sure power saver mode will throttle the cpu if it's a custom kernel. I've checked a few times and it seems to stop working in that respect. Same with tasker. I can't control cpu speeds with tasker using a custom.
