Overclocking Xperia Play - Xperia Play Android Development

haven't seen any thread about this. someone already tried setcpu on the arc how about the play?
i want to overclock my unit cause most of the psx games (ie castlevania) tends to be slow and the framerate drops significantly even if it's fixed at 30 fps.

so no one seems to be interested in overclocking the xplay?

i guess when its been out longer ill wont an overclock but i haven't had any slow down as yet well after getting rid of the rubbish that was on there "bloat"
i would rather a recovery menu first ha ha if were wishing here..
but we need a custom kernel first i believe before an overclock

You'll need someone to cook up a custom kernel to OC the play or someone to make a script that runs it without a custom kernel. Had this on my HTC desire hd before I rooted/unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom kernel that could OC.
The first option will need a unlocked bootloader and the latter will just need root (if possible with the play).
Setcpu should be able to underclock as it is now, but that wont help with your gaming issues.
Regards Dousan...

No need for unlcoked bootloader just need root and someone to cook up a kernel module to work with set CPU. It's a standard qualcom 8250 shouldn't be to hard. Contact the developer of setcpu on twitter or by email

What were the apps that you removed? I might just do this while waiting for an oc. And were there any signifcant changes in terms of the unit's speed.

hey owain
you already have xperia play !! you can do it
where are you man ?
did you forget xda site ?
why ?

We need the sources of the xplay to create own kernels - at least to create one without minor bugs

The source is out for the play, forget where now but the link is on this forum, i think its the thread about starting to root it.

Hey guys, i'm new to the play forum although ive been around for a while lol anyway just to clarify some points.
yes with the sony kernel source code we can make custom kernels, but without an unlocked bootloader we cannot flash unsigned images.. i only got my play 2day so i am unsure of what can or cannot be done, does the play have nand protection? if not and we can create and flash a custom recovery image, then an unlocked bootloader should not be nessesary. android has full R/W access by default to all the partitions while in recovery mode, so we should be able to flash things roms/kernels/ect. maybe someone should email clockworkmod and ask if they are or intend to work on a custom recovery

I'll have a poke about in that for now, will be similar-ish

could it be that the kernel is the same as the one for the play?

it's the same firmware package for neo/arc/play
check arm/arch/config
semc_zeus_defconfig is the play one.
So there you have it the source code.

[Q] Overclock CPU??? [ANSWERED]

hi
start off by saying im a noooooob BUT have finally rooted, installed [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM] from SEMPITERNAL, also Junk Apps Clean up + Xrecovery + Jit V2 Optimized.
running very smooth!!!! check quadrant score!!!
I now want to know if i can overclock the cpu to get even higher score and if i can how do i do it????
i cant seem to find any threads containg x10 cpu overclock

Don't know if its correct. Wouldn't we need the bootloader cracked to do so? xD

There's a app on the Android Market called SetCPU, that should allow you to overclock your X10.
doesn't work.. at least not for me anyway. overclocking depends on your kernel, and so far I haven't found any custom kernels

Its amazing how many people ask this... And you would have your answer if you used your brain and used the search box...
You can not currently overclock the CPU in the X10
Once the bootloader has been cracked and we can flash custom kernels that allow overclocking, then you can

[OBSOLETE-KERNEL] fully automatic ROOT, CIFS, init.d - my first Galaxy S II kernel

This thread refers now to an obsolete and unmaintained kernel.
---
Hello world
Here is my first (THE first?) Galaxy S II kernel built from sources, to be accurate from Korean SHW-M250S sources which is the reference name of the Galaxy S II device sold here, using XWKDD GT-I9100 initramfs.
Sources are not modified.
Kernel config: /proc/config.gz
1/ First attempt:
SHW-M250S_Kernel_Gingerbread-supercurio.tar
2/ Insecure Kernel, can be used to root your device:
SHW-M250S_Kernel_Gingerbread-supercurio-1.tar
3/ Now built from GT-I9100 sources, still allows easy rooting!
GT-I9100_Kernel_Gingerbread-supercurio.tar
4/ Added CIFS support as module.
GT-I9100_Kernel_Gingerbread-supercurio-1.tar
4/ Automatic rooting! All you need to do is boot, and its magically rooted − su and Superuser.apk installed in /system
GT-I9100_Kernel_Gingerbread-supercurio-2.tar
5/ init.d support! will run anything present in /system/etc/init.d/
GT-I9100_Kernel_Gingerbread-supercurio-3.tar
You'll find Kernel sources on github, explanations in this dedicated thread
Initramfs used is this one: https://github.com/project-voodoo/galaxysii-initramfs-modified
You got me all excited and all you had to say was "Incomming". Dissapointed now
This is the start of something beautiful, nice one SC

Great supercurio, good luck!
So, nobody has the guts to try it ?

Hehe seriously it boots !
WHOhooo I wouldn't had bet on it
Ok so I'll make a "root" kernel from it.
You want to to try and participate? Come on IRC #project-voodoo
Alright!
Just added a new insecure kernel. Adb connection should be run as root by default, starting from that you can install superuser manually.
I also copied the kernel modules in the initramfs, which may solve the previous Wifi non loading problem.
Check the first post.
Please tell me if it worksforyou remember, I don't have the device to test it and it's not the exact source it should be.

[ROM] CM Mod 7 & Stock Hybrid no working

This is a hybrid between stock and CM7
This doesn't work on doom kernel I'll assume it doesn't work full stop! feel free to try or if anybody wants to pick up the project go ahead I'm no longer working on this the download is still available but it doesn't work apparently if you brick your device not my problem you have been warned!
This is for testing purposes only and so you can tell me what problems you have DO NOT GO TO CM FOR BUGS IT'S NOT BY CM MOD

Comment with bugs and let me know how it goes some bugs should have been fixed but I don't know what, my phone has been stolen so yea I would like to know how this goes :')
Let me know if play station pocket works and if the game controls do because that's the most important part of this, Timescape UI and much more bloatware has been removed I may have missed some of the games off the update but if so then remove them before using the update package.

What i think this is meant to be is basically FreeXperia's cm7 with some of the stock apps on like Playstation Pocket.
Likewise, he said he doesnt work so meh.

The other way around, its stock rom with it's ugly apps replaced (Timescape) and replaced with CM's apps and some of CM's features, oh and I didn't mean to steal your name I didn't know it existed sorry about that.

[Request] OC modules

Hi everyone, is there any dev that can make a module to overclock the ray without unlocking the bootloader? One year ago I had an Xperia x10 mini and i was able to overclock it on locked bootloader just putting a file with root manager. I know that it's possible to overclock with custom kernel but i don't want to unlock the bootloader and i think that i'm not the only one who would be very happy to do that.
Thanks
then you probably need a stock kernel, but with root access to the system. Then manually change the parameter yourself i guess.
Developer dont want to do that since they can build the custom kernel from source. IMHO

cyanogenmod seems to be the best kernel , at least for samsung phones!!
I have a ATT Samsung GII and currently have it rooted fine. Sadly, every one is changing all the roms to ICS and I am currently forced to use a specific application for billing my miles to work that does not run at all on ICS.
I would try to talk to the developers of that app to see if they could just recompile it for ICS but now that they have the app booming on the iPhone they have pretty much dropped any support for Android.
Right now I am downloading the Android SDK so that I might be able to run this app in the SDK on my laptop.
My questions:
1. Is the Android SDK the only way I can run an Android emulator to run this app?
2. Is there a good place on XDA (or some where else) where I could list out the features I need in a specific application and other people could suggest apps that match the requirements? There are many pay for apps that sound like they would work for me but 15 minutes is not long enough to test the apps out before I cannot get a refund.
Hi...
I am a newbie around here. I want to try some clockwork recovery with my old huawei C8500. I already installed the rom manager v4.4.0.7. But it says I have to install clockwork recovery first. So when I click yes, then it ask for my phone model. But, I can't find my phone. Its have like huawei U series and some other phone models. But not my C8500. Can you tell me how to download it and explain what CWM and how it works and a lil detail for some walkthroughs for how to use CWM? Really thanks for any good answers. Thx
