This is my first kernel build ever (not just for the Nexus 7). Just a starting point for more hacking on the Nexus 7.
Flashable zip package attached.
It should go without saying that anything you do with this package you do at your own risk.
Features
Insecure
init.d support
Overclocked to 1.5GHz
Voltage tweaks at OC clocks
BFQ scheduler
smartassv2 governor
lagfree governor
Made kernel version not suck
Notes
You should root and install busybox into /system/xbin before flashing this kernel. Don't flash this if you don't know what you're doing as I'm too lazy to include n00b instructions.

Thanks to Virtuous team for their updater-script for this device.

That CPU score is sexy!
Great work! Now I definitely can't wait for my nexus to ship.
Edit: If you could try adding smartassv2. This is a popular governor that I would really enjoy on the nexus 7.

Yes, it's compiled from stock kernel sources.
Thanks so much man. Can't wait to get my nexus so I can flash this. Hopefully before the 18th which is my birthday. I had heard though that smartass didn't work so well with more than 1 core though. Could you clarify on that.

Smartass v1 was made for single core cpu's. Smartass v2 was made for dual core cpu's, so v2 might work better on a quad core? V2 doesn't really work all that well on my single core cpu for the phone I have.

Exactly right. I actually never really liked smartassv2 in general, but I think it is working out fairly well on the N7, actually.
This is after just a little bit of game time, some regular usage, and some sleep time. I may need to tweak some of the higher clock values so it scales up a bit more gracefully. At any rate, there will be plenty of options to play around with.

So whats the heat production and stability like at 1.5ghz? When you say 1.5ghz, is that like the htc one x where it is actually 1.4ghz but you can go to 1.5ghz when only using one core, or is it all four cores clocked at 1.5 please? Got to admit that a gpu OC would be really nice. This looks great, thanks
any chance of getting some gpu over clocks in then kernal, screw battery life give me mmmhhhzzz!
Is it possible to get scary gov on this? I think it's based on smartassv1 but not really sure. It gives me a good balance between performace and battery. Or perhaps we could make a scaryV2 lol?
Great work for a first Kernel
Is the extra battery drain worth that .2ghz of extra horsepower? Because i've heard it's a perfectly capable device @ 1.3ghz.

Thanks. Naturally, it's a matter of personal preference of course if it is "worth" it to OC any processor. OC'ing the N7 was more of a "because I can" thing than for any practical reason. The CPU is impressive as is.
The N7 is probably the fastest and most responsive mobile device I've ever seen even at stock, mostly thanks to the hardware but also due to Jelly Bean's ability to leverage this kind of raw power.
The actual battery drain between 1.3GHz -> 1.5GHz will all depend on how much time you spend at those higher clock speeds, of course.

I have successfully overclocked the new Samsung Galaxy S II to 1.504GHz. This speed is enough to allow it to achieve really high benchmark scores like over 4000 points in Quadrant! 1.5GHz is a 25% overclock and makes this fast phone even faster and snappier in day to day usage.
Instructions:
1. You'll need the latest version of odin3 and the USB drivers for Windows. jutley's post on debranding the phone has links to both: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894
2. Grab the kernel. It is a tar file for odin with the overclocked kernel and a initramfs with proper modules for the kernel: http://setcpu.com/files/galaxysii_oc_v1.tar
3. Reboot the phone into download mode using ADB:
adb reboot download
4. Flash the kernel using odin3 by placing the tar file in the PDA section and pressing "Start."
5. The phone will reboot automatically.
6. Use SuperOneClick to root your phone if you haven't already. ADB should have root access with this kernel so it'll just work.
7. Grab SetCPU and try 1.504GHz.
Source code (with relevant commit for the overclock. I also enabled the interactive governor in the config): https://github.com/coolbho3k/galaxysii_oc
I haven't gone crazy on the voltages - 1.504GHz is stable at 1375mV on my device. Depending on your device, there may be even more headroom. I've gotten speeds of up to 2GHz to boot with instability (my unstable 1.8GHz Linpack run is currently in the Linpack top 10), but at very high voltages and temperatures. Leave it up to other developers to give you higher/more dangerous frequencies and voltages. If you stress the CPU a ton the phone will become hot to touch (though it does to a certain extent even at stock frequencies - there is not much thermal insulation between the processor and your hands in such a thin phone).
Current features in this kernel: Added 1.504GHz overclocking step (default frequency is still 1.2GHz for safety - use SetCPU to safely raise the frequency) and relevant modifications, 800MHz sleep death fix, interactive governor, ro.secure = 0.
The usual disclaimers apply here. Only do this if you know what you're doing. Though the long term stability/reliability of similar overclocks on other Android based ARM devices is known, this software is provided with no warranty, and I can't be held responsible if you fry your device.

...breaks over 4000 points in Quadrant:
...and almost 60 MFLOPS in Linpack:
Since Linpack and Quadrant aren't (sufficiently?) multithreaded, you won't see that much improvement over single core Cortex A8 devices at the same clock. But these are dual core phones!
Developers: keep in mind that the Galaxy S II source currently "fixes" voltages on this revision of the Exynos to be 25mV less than what is in the table. Upon boot, the driver will actually print the real voltages at each level (look for ASV voltage_table in the kernel log) if you don't know which chipset revision a particular phone has. The overclock itself is controlled in the s5pv310_apll_pms_table.
Enjoy!
Damn .........
This is when I really wish I had a SGS2. Can't wait till it comes to American shores, great work coolbho, see you on Engadget tomorrow..
OMG already? I was wondering when this would happen. God bless you man.
Wonderful work man. Can't get Odin to download on my home rig so I'll be playing around w/ this tomorrow at the office With overclocking already here and the inevitable kernel optimizations to come, this phone is truly going to be the beast everyone suspects.
Thanks man!
..and what about undervolting?

Very impressive indeed. The only question that comes to mind is if there really is a need to squeeze out higher frequencies. The CPU isn't really a bottleneck on the SGS2, is it?

CPU is always a bottleneck for calculations. Probably not a bottleneck in most apps though.
My install went smoothly. Quadrant showed 4144, 3892, and then 4100. Im going to try running it throughout today and see what happens. Cant wait for this to mature.

Anyone interested? 1.8ghz was easy peasy. Is this performance gain what you may call negligible? I forgot the file name, otherwise I'd post it. Debating whether or not to do that or not, as this is the first version - plan on going higher. Plus i already work on a kernel for the tf101, might not want to take on too much. Tell me if attached quadrant score is decent. What really makes the difference is usability, I feel that its much quicker - plus it keeps my hands warm, which is great.

My goal is 2.0ghz, I was half joking with 'lilstevie' in the IRC chat when I said 2.0ghz was my oc demands for this new tablet - now, I'm kinda serious. Besides, this thing is still kinda slow compared to... my laptop. Also uses a new power reg.. so the max vcore limit could be higher. Yay. GPS is still a kick in the ****. That reminds me, what is the make/model of the GPS? If we can't boost reception, we can certainly try xmit power!
edit: I forgot to post the link for the actual kernel..
http://home.comcast.net/~ibladesi/woahno-it-burns.zip
blended the itsy bitsy asus changes for the big bad .21 kernel (being sardonic).
http://home.comcast.net/~ibladesi/ntrly-wrth-a-ver-bump-v2.zip
I'm going to write a script that will flash the kernel in terminal emulator later on.. thats how I flashed mine.. I'm going to include the texfat and tntfs modules and extract them to the /system/lib/modules directory.. Eventually, I will write a ROM agnostic init script that loads them upon startup.. but now its up to you to load them or write the script.
if you are using netiher exfat or ntfs, you don't need to load them..
if you need more juice for 1.8ghz..
echo 1350 > /sys/kernel/tegra_cap/core_cap_level
or if you want hand warmers..
echo 1400 > /sys/kernel/tegra_cap/core_cap_level
I think, that since this thread was moved.. it should stay here.. Only royalty can post in Development section.
A boost in clock speed could certainly speed up GPS lock down. So a Quadcore 2.0ghz would be beasty!

Nah, at any speed the GPS will still be uhh.. lacking. Boosting the signal beyond regulations might help, or might hurt. Similar to a cable modem's downstream being amplified, if you amplify a noisy line - things usually get worse. In the previous post, I said xmit power, I meant rx. Or wait, is it bidirectional? I digress.
nice... good seeing you here been running your **** on my tf101 since the beginning...
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
the GPS is omnidirectional i think
I'd say go for the overclocking.
edit: is there anyway you can make the 1.7Ghz or 1.8Ghz into an apk form to install on stock roms that's rooted? like Dr.Wowe EzOverclock app that enables 1.6ghz by just installing the app.
Also the GPS is from Broadcom, I believe. the exact name and serial # can be found in GPS teardown thread.

that score is decent but I would think you'd score even higher than that. my score on 1.6Ghz overclock is a little lower.
for a beefier overclock, use system tuner pro, then go into CPU tweaks. then set governor to performance. then you could set the min. clock to Max. then now you will be running all 4 cores, at the same time, at 1.8Ghz, Fulltime. I guarantee you will score alot higher than what you posted. it will drain battery faster though..lmao

Haha there is no such thing as negligible when it comes to overclocking brotha! Take it as high as possible. I have already came up with a cooling mod I eventually want to try. I have to see how to take off the mobo though.
How is your stability? How do you increase vcore? I use set cpu stress test and at 1.7 I eventually freeze.

The stock kernel allows for 1.6 that's why an apk works. For it to oc to 1.7 or higher it needs a custom kernel.

You could make a case that does something to this effect. Since the backplate is aluminum all you need is some thermal paste between it and the case and it would work decently well. Ideally you'd want to open the Prime and paste between the case and the processor.

wow! you did another test..lmfao this score is alot higher now.
but yeah, my 2D score is more than double yours even on your 1.8Ghz. even my 3D score was higher than yours on the one test in your OP.
is it possibly because I have a NeoGeo Emulator installed? lol They were the originators and best at 2D graphics (its a joke)
do you think it may be possibly because I have force GPU rendering enabled on 2D applications? its in developer settings in prime. I've been running my prime with this enabled & 1.6Ghz overclock. I bet if you enable it and do another test, your 2D score will be alot higher. This setup makes my prime super fast n fluid. lag free(actually was lag free before that). plus I cut off windows and transitions animation. everything near instant now.
Thank you, running stock volt at 1.8 and everything sweet for now ^.^

Overclocking rocks! Yes, maybe those with open primes could add a passive heatsink to the Tegra 3 CPU. Help cool her down even more. I would think that this would help with the 2.0 ghz goal. Right now its a thin copper tape over it. Add a heatsink with copper tube pasted on chip.
Glad to see you on the prime Blades, love the work you did on the TF101.
Here's my question... Is it possible to make a kernel and just use the companion core as an additional core and have it run all the time? I love having five cores but it almost seems a waste to have one shut down. I understand battery life would go down but it wouldn't bother me if it went from 3-4 days to 1-2 days.
Also, I thought I seen somewhere that manufacturer spec had the companion core at 1.4GHz and the rest at 1.3GHz. Anyway to bump the companion core up to that as well?
I don't know if any of this is possible... Just a thought.

sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
lol Congrats. I bet you could easily hit 16000. try this and I bet you score alot higher. get system tuner. then go into could tweaks. set the governor there to Performance. then set the min. speed slider all the way up to Max. now you should see all 4 of your CPU maxed out @ 1.8Ghz full time. meaning each core is active @ 1.8Ghz. the regular overclocking doesn't enable all 4 cores to run at once at those speeds. Method I just described will and is why I usually score alot higher than people on same 1.6Ghz clock speed as me. my 2D and 3D scores on quadrant was even higher than that one guy who made the 1.8Ghz available. and that was me still @ 1.6ghz. my 2D score was more than double his @ 1.8Ghz. you can also go into settings, then developer options. then enable the force gpu rendering. that should help increase your scores also.

Nice! I have my kernel running at 1.8 GHz now. I basically enabled what I had the first time I tried, but now the voltages are the same as my latest 1.7. This time it runs fine. I am a little disappointed that the scores aren't higher though and keep wondering what else is limiting us. Hope to do more study soon. The voltage regulator is keeping us pinned at 1500mV and I haven't tried to up that yet. We don't need it yet...but we will if we want to go higher.

Sometimes I wonder what our mates who are completely uninterested in technology think when we do something like what the OP said in the kitchen. I'm currently dating a guy who likes to write more than anything else. Writing creatively just isn't my cup of tea. He, on the other hand, is just not interested at all with technology. And somehow we've gravitated toward each other.

Sometimes I wonder what our mates who are completely uninterested in technology think when we do something like what the OP said in the kitchen. I'm currently dating a guy who likes to write more than anything else. Writing creatively just isn't my cup of tea. He, on the other hand, is just not interested at all with technology. And somehow we've gravitated toward each other.

My fiance knows how to work a PC because of her job. I got my first PC after we got together 10 years ago (I was 22) and she showed me the basics...then all hell broke loose.
I love anything and everything tech, and have had 5 Android devices since, not including PCs and MP3players,etc and I am constantly showing and telling her about how I have to unlock this,flash this, yadayada, and she always laughs and calls me a dork. BUT, when I bought my Prime, I didn't want her to ***** about me already having a TouchPad, so I bought her a 7" Galaxy Tab, and it turns out a lot of the stuff I showed her actually rubbed off, because she jumped right into Android and loves it.
So, you never know I guess. It's so cool that she understands much of what I tell her about home launchers, apps,Widgets, and Modding now.

This was stock ROM, reflashed via TOT about a month after I had the phone. Rooted, all LG/Verizon disableable stuff disabled in App Manager (before rooting).
Ok so I just got done setting up Vanir AOSP 4.4.4 ROM with all my apps. I haven't customized anything other than various appearance settings - I didn't mess with SetCPU, schedulers, DPI, etc. This was just me installing all my apps and setting up the notifications etc. the way I like them. This is my first run at an AOSP ROM on the G3. Here are the results.
(NOTE: I downloaded and ran all the same benchmarks as in the list above, with a reboot between each benchmark run. I have annotated the order in which I ran the benchmarks after their respective titles.)
Antutu (first):
Vellamo Metal (fourth):
Basemark OS II (second):
GFX Bench (third):
(NOTE: The phone was scorching hot at the end of this run; throttling might explain the lower scores?)
My phone with bloat turned off and running with the interactive governor and a hack to make throttling less aggressive.

Dawn what is this hack you speak of?
Modifying thermal-engine-8974.conf to prevent throttling in an aggressive manner. There is a thread somewhere about it. I hacked it up self based on what I want my phone to do. As you can see from my previous post Antutu performance is right up there with the other flagships. The big reason why it still lags behind the S5 is 3d performance. Anyway I'm happy now that it doesn't throttle and I still get a days use.

How'd you change governors if you are on the stock kernel?
Nothing in the stock kernel prevents it. I use ROM Toolbox (pro version) and you can tweak a bunch of performance parameters. LG doesn't lock the kernel down except for maximum clock speed. So you can't over clock but you can run a max 100% of the time. You will eventually hit thermal throttle, but you can do it.

I did a lot of work tweaking the kernel, i/o scheduler and throttling response
Here is one using the latest Vanir Commotio Lollipop

Do you mind posting details about how you have things setup?

WOuld, but I am on a different setup now...
I set the governor to Interactive, read ahead buffer to 4096, cfq scheduler, Vegas Tcp Conjestion Control, max frequency 2457 minimum 300
I fine tuned the governor as well, but cant remember the settings, sorry
I am on Jasmine 4.0 running the latest Skydragon kernel. The trickster mod setup is the second pic- TCP setting is clipped off the top, its Westwood.
Broke 42k today with CM12 12/12.
In case anyone is wondering, using trickster mod the best governor is performance, not interactive, when it come to benchmarks specifically. Interactive is better for general use but performance will just always give you the optimal performance (get it) in a benchmark.
i did a benchmark with stock lil debloat and skydragon kernel , im no tech so i dont know much about these readings . im planing of switching to liquidsmooth rom

You're just gonna have to trust me that I hit 42k xD didn't screenshot it.
I actually hit 40k with stock ROM by turning on performance governor, so it definitely helps with benchmarking.
Hi there. This is a thread to talk about an ideas of a gaming case for the note 3
As you know, note 3 is still an amazing for a 3 year old smartphone. It now has a nougat based rom and can be overclocked, both gpu and cpu. And the result is amazing(though not significant)
But the problem is that the device overheats when gaming after a few minutes and so it throttles
My idea is to design a case that would cools it down efficiently with a small colling fan and a battery to supply then fan's power. But might have to open the note 3's back to exposed the SoC
This is the basic idea tho. If you would like to add an idea, a design, or maybe just sketch it, you are welcome to do so
I simply used a PS3 controller with a homemade metal base and a lid from a CASIO scientific calculator. All together with glue . Works perfectly using SIXAXIS. Not the most elegant solution, but it works very well

Ah.. you are using a snapdragon note 3. I don't really know tho. But what i do know, there is an OC kernel for your device. Try to search it at your forum good luck
I tried a lot of times, there is no kernel which allows me to OC GPU, based on newer firmware. I found only one for Note 4 Port based on 5.0.2 TW. I think developers don't care about adding GPU overclock feature to any kernel

Well not that they don't care, it's just that OC on an android was not like OC on PCs.
And one major flaws of OC on android is that our phone's CPU and GPU are passive cooled. Which causes thermal throttling, which lowers performance, which makes OC kinda Pointless
You may ask the dev to implement OC to their kernel tho
Which is one of the reason why i made is thread, to disscuss gaming Case design that will helps Chips from thermal throttling and also gaming friendly. We may use ideas here for reference or maybe a Kickstarter project if anyone is interested to do so
Ok, passive cooling and throttling, i agree. But, why can't we OC our Adreno 330 GPU to 587 MHz like it's in Snapdragon 801 chips. Both Snap 800 and 801 are almost the same, higher clocked only...

We CAN OC our gpu if you want, but it's up to dev to implement it to their ROM's kernel
Also, not all chips are made equally. Some might stand OC, while others might refuse to do so
liquid Ammonia Will work very good in a compact box like structure, it is cool(chill).
How will we able to fit a small fan?? with battery, wat about motor??, need something other Thinking.
Well i will try to make a sketch or 3d image wateva goin on mamind, if possible atleast for me

That was appreciated man. Thank you
Well a fan could fit in to a gpd win, so why not a gaming case? (Yea, i was thinking about that the case was that thick)
And amonia works fine, but i think it would be better to use active cooling for maximum potential

Yeh, fan will absolutly make it much better,
but not to mention- fan must be small, it is difficult to make that small fan( atleat for devices which we are using)
still if we'll be able to then it gonna be the very best that no one ever was
whatever idea or progress you will make pls share with us.

Samsung dvfs? Can you tell me more about that mate? And is it only limited to a specific variant of note 3? Like exynos or snapdragon?
Its in all samsung devices since kitkat
You need to be rooted and have xposed installed. Then install dvfs disabler module
