Tegrak overclock question - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I was looking around on some new overclocking information for the ATRIX and really couldn't find anything extra ordinary but I was just wondering, the sgs2 is running the same chip set as the ATRIX but is being overclocked to about 1.5ghz or higher. Why is this? Also why wouldn't all tegra devices be supported by tegrak app?

Why overclock?

I'be flashed bionix v 1.3.1 and im pretty happy with its responsivness and with voodoo. I've been looking into flashing other kernals but then I got to thinking, what can I for with a overclocked 1.3 ghz processor that I can't do with a 1 ghz processor. Is there really a difference? What are the advantages and disadvantages to overclocking a smart phone?

Smooths some things out good for hard gaming things like n64oid but if your happy with your phone then you don't need to overclock

yes for gaming only, there are no other benefits other than Bragging rights to say " I got the fastest phone...etc..." You lose on battery big time and risk "browning out some of the hardware effectively frying your phone.

Tegrak Overclock app

Does this work with custom kernels such as the one in serendipity? I am seeing how much I can push this phone. Thank you for the answers
Don't know about tegrak but setCPU works great, I can overclock to 1.6 with no issues... Though I keep it lower than that for battery life

Any OV/UV kernel for ics

Well, I'm not sure if that was a question or not but as far as I know you can't flash the kernel because of our wonderful locked bootloaders...
If you were to use the search function, you would see that there are modules and scripts available to overclock our CPUs. Our processors are already factory overclocked 200Mhz, the maximum I have been able to reach is 1.3Ghz
I was looking to under volt to save battery

You can do that as well

is it possible to undervolt by only setting it in one app?
without too much trouble, i'm not good in flashing files etc.
As far as I know, the only way is using scripts, and you can adjust the clock frequency in say.. SetCPU. But the voltage settings are only available in the script itself, if you check this post you can see there are scripts already made for under clocking / under volting.

Any free oc app?

Im using tegrak oc free app and the max oc i can get is 1.3 ghz is ther eany another free app that does more than 1.3 ghz oc?

No. Just purchase the pro version of Tegrak, I did it and it was well worth it to use the 1.5GHz profile.
The $/performance ratio is well in balance with Tegrak if your a risky OC'er like me.
Yeah, the full version of Tegrak is totally worth the $2 or whatever.
I've been rocking 1.5ghz and it's been awesome. It could probably go beyond that but I'm a little scared to push it. The ICS roms don't work with tegrak for me - I don't know if it's my device or if it's an issue but I've gone back to gingerbread just so I can keep the 1.5ghz.
And yes, the jump from 1.3ghz to 1.5ghz is worth it. The difference in speed for me was almost equal to the first time I OC'd to 1.3. VERY noticible, quite safe at this point IMO.

[Q] overclocking the DX

Hi all, after installing MaartenXDA's ROM, I saw the performance control and wanted advice on a safe frequency to overclock my DX to. Thanks in advance!

Does custom kernel included for overclocking in your custom rom?

I saw someone said that you can OC the S4 Play to 1.2Ghz but I'm not sure...

Yes it's made for 1-1,2GHz, but you need a custom kernel. The thing I would like to see more than overclocking are some more governors and schedulers.
The overclocking will gets more power from the battery or ?
[sorry for my bad english, I hope someone understand me ]
we need someone to create a custom kernel for our phone. without custom kernel, we cant overclock our phone.
but i dont see any reason yet to overclock, the current frequency are fast enough for me even for gaming. unless you have a very slow phone, 1ghz single core processor and below it would be good.
i used to overclock a lot on my single core processor phone from 1ghz to 1.2-1.8ghz frequency. of course the higher frequency you're on the more risk you are gonna damage the cpu of your phone and battery because of overheat. from 1ghz, overclocking to 1.2-1.4ghz is safe.
underclocking would be a smart idea though to save battery.
the main reason custom kernel are needed for me are to use some governors and schedulers to save battery or performance.
Thanks guys! Oh, and could someone explain or post a link to a guide on overclocking?
