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!

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!!

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.

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

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
Hi guys, im using gingerdx and i noticed that overclock doesn't work anymore..it used to work with froyobread. Is this temporary or do i have to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernel..cuz that seems kind of difficult to me.

Did you flash new Kernel? I believe OC module is now within the Kernel, and not in the ROM. Now that the Kernel is different, then (if you still have the module), it might be referencing a different Kernel...
Dig deeper.
In the meantime, you can flash a new ROM (MiniCM7) which is not dependant on the Kernel to use OC module.
GingerXperia it's a good rom where you can OC the procesor and Floyo by ratch it's a good option too
Ohh i got you... i wondered why it didnt work because before gingerdx i used floyo and it workd! Cheers mate!

nah i wont install a new rom...maybe dx will place an overclock module too...i hope!
nevermind i retought my decisions and ive decided to go with gingerxperia..overall is it faster than gingerdx?
overclock will drain your battery more faster
i will only overclock it by 33mhz..it makes a bit of difference and it doesnt affect the battery that much...
i you want over-clock only from 600MHz to 633 then you will have only a litte more points i processor score in quadrant but 2d and 3d scores will be suck.
i you want to over-clock then min must be 691MHz because the 2d and 3d scores will near the same at the 600MHz without module enabled.
Read that from 447th post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020313&page=45
overclocked it to 651mhz and im getting better quality in fps too! plus theres 200 points difference in the final score!
overclock works on gingerdx without kernel change
didnt work on mine :s..but anyways i installed gingerxperia and its MUCH faster than gingerdx...im not hating or anything but its the truth!
what do you mean what is your quadrant total score and 3d 2d ones?
i forgot lol..but i did a benchmark without overclock and then with the overclock and i got a better2d and 3d score..but not by much.
ok thanks but can you see improvment in the fps in games from gingerdx to gingerxperia
can someone tell me how to overclock xperia x8 while using gingerDX v012 without changing the kernel?thanks
yes i actually can see quite a difference actually!

@ALL with the problem.
Check your baseband in settings>>about phone.
it should read something like this >> M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
if it isn't, i'ved attached the latest X8 stock kernel. just unzip and flash with Flashtools.
Edit: I just realized you're using GingerXperia. this particular ROM checks your baseband and will not install unless you're on 015. so, this might not help. But, there's no harm in trying.
As a followup:
Since you're using GX ROM. that means you're, rooted, jitted and Xrecvr'd (CWM'd).
Next, is your bootloader unlocked? Did you load any of the custom Kernel? because if you did, the only overclockable Kernel right now is FXP OC Kernel.
The OC Module only work with the Stock Kernel.
if kernel doesnt support oc.you need to install oc module by yourself editing hw_config.sh and push the module to lib/modules.
The 'overclocking is a procedure that can hurt your loved x8 ergo follow this guide at your own risk!
requirements:
- Rooted
- Banda Basic x15
- SetCPU
1) Download x8oc V004 http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1302528982
2) Extract the file and copy it on the sd x8oc.ko
3) By RootExplorer x8oc.ko copied to / system / lib / modules
4) Always go through RootExplorer / system / etc, hold down the file menu and hw_config.sh which opens in selected Open Text Editor
5) At the beginning put this line
code:
insmod / system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko # x8 overclocking
6) Save the changes and restart the phone
hope i helped

As of now, there are no Custom KERNELS that support the OC, MDDI, UV and Gesture Modules, except the Stock KERNEL.
All Custom KERNELS, except FXP OC enabled KERNEL, have already embedded the aforementioned modules, except the OC module.
Most ROMS, except FXP, already have the Modules installed.
in short. Custom Kernels = no overclock
if you want OC and custom KERNEL then use FXP OC KERNEL.
The instructions provided above are for ROMS.
hi we got no custom kernal. my baseband has always been on xxx15 so no need to upgrade their for OC'ing. and to be honest we wouldn't even b able to have this rom on our phone if we didn't have that baseband.
@ nizoorox IGNORE everything the people have said to try and help. i already tried most of it anyway. no i am not unlock my bootloader and have custom kernal untill they are better developed.
NIZOOROX this is how we OC gingerXperia.. simple update to GingerXperia V010.
i did it last night and now i can overclock without doing anything special.
just go to cyanogen mod setting's - performance - cpu - then click overclock and select what Mhz you want t use
May i know how u guys Overclock your Samsung Ace to 900++ MHZ?
Search the development thread for the kernel patch. You must be on cyanogenmod for the kernel to work.
If you need help for flashing I will not offer that help, you gotta read and learn.
Currently I'm using Cyanogenmod 7.1 (Version 2.4.7) I click on setting there , i just saw Max 800 mhz only...
Even stupid SetCPU app with CF-Root kernel allows it. You don't have to be on Cyanogen, that is bull****. I have flashed Galaxy Ace to my mother and my cousine with GLSMT ROM 2.1, which do have overclocking built-in even without SetCPU. But if you wish to overclock your Ace with Stock ROM, follow theese stepps:
1) Download OneClick Root app to your computer
2) In the Phone Settings, Applications, turn on USB debug mode
3) Plug your phone to your PC using usb cable (and wait till windows installs drivers)
4) Run OneClick Root app, and root your phone with it.
5) OneClick Root will overwrite your kernel with CF Root kernel.
6) After reboot, install SetCPU from Market
7) Search the Market for Superuser app, and install/update it.
8) Place SetCPU widget on your desktop.
9) After tapping it, you can set your desired frequency.

As per above, I've been trialing the ketut OC kernel.
The key for all those who are still "learning" is pushing it up one step at a time, if your phone crashes you have found your limit.
If it doesn't, reboot for it to be "completely applied" and then check in the Cynogen mod settings > performance to ensure the OC has applied properly.
So far i've got it at 944mhz without crashing, on CM7.2 with ketut OC kernel, alot of testing has been done and bench mark averages around 2000, when standard kernal does around 1500 average.
Best of luck and Try not to fry your cpu

Also, if you want a faster device, why on Earth did you purchase the Ace in the first place? You can get a decent second hand Galaxy S for less money...
And you won't notice much difference with a mere 100 or so MHz extra...except the heat output.

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.

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.
