overclocking the san?

[Guest BigBearMDC]

Sorry for my noobish question, but if we got the source code it is possible to overclock the SF?

Sure. I already patched the file that needs to be patched. Speeds up to 800MHz should be possible, but I heard that this is the maximum. We could get it to 1GHz easily by just adding a single line to the driver, but I'm not sure if the SF will still boot then. But we could just try it :)

Best regards,

I would very much like to try this, but sadly until we can get a working kernel, we're stuck...

Yap that's the problem. We did this with the Pulse by the way.

Developing will be easier for me also when I can finally buy a SF :)

[Guest BenSeiDank]

And which source code you need? For eclair or for froyo? I have a few friends who can translate good from english to chinese!

If you give a letter with your question and an adress where we have to send the letter. I can try it!

Only post here thanks

might be me being a noob but is the file Eclair Kernel_20100823 what you need,you probably alread found it but worth a try

its 6.69mb compressed and 331mb full so cant upload it here

[Guest piercy]

Its safe on the Pulse, and the Pulse has an even weaker CPU running at 528MHz. Overclocking a mobile phone is not really comparable to overclocking a PC. A desktop CPU needs at least 60W, a mobile phone CPU by far less ;) Actually I read that the power consumption does not increase significantly on ARM processors.

Edit: I also think you'll never get a phone to overheat by overclokcing (except the iPhone of course :)).

i use to clock my hero at 728Mhz. That overheated a fair amount. I once caught it at 49C. Turned it straight off battery out and stuck it by a window. Clocked it down to 692 after that. So it can be done.

That is the universal overclock for the G1. It pulls your current kernel, adds a few overclock specific settings, and pushes it back. I believe that with a couple tweaks it could be made to work on this (changing clock values, etc). Legend has msm7227, a newer version of the msm7200a on the G1 so it should not be too hard to port this. If G1 is clockable to 690ish, then legend should make it past 850ish."

A stable 850 would be heaven, even though 800 would make me a very happy camper indeed =)

Also this read on a news site:

"In addition, manufacturers that already utilize the company's MSM7xxx-series chipsets are enabled to make an easy transition to the new MSM7227 platform, due to the fact that the package pin layout is very similar, while the software is almost identical."

Thanks for the info :) Basically I already overclocked the driver, so once we get a kernel that compiles we can test it ;) We should get it to 800MHz, but I'm not sure if we'll get it higher.

Time to seek out a better battery; the Stock battery is a

1250mAh (4.7 Wh)

Nominal Voltage 3.7v

Charge 4.2v

Model Li3712T42P3h444865

Standard BG/T 18287-2000

The 1250mAh is much better than the Eastern batteries that seem to be 750mAh,

I cannot find anyone selling higher spec battery (yet).

[Guest screwface]

I would gladly have the phone double as thick for double the battery size/life. Like that G1 battery pack.

[Guest lilzad]

so any news on this so far?? i got a san francisco and was wondering if it worked or how progress is going on atm

Now we've got the Eclair source code it shouldn't be long until we have a custom kernel, so we can revisit this and look at overclocking the little beast.

[Guest ddotpatel]

I asked this in the "KERNEL SOURCE" thread but did not get a response,.... Can a module not be created (as they have done on the G2 + DHD) that runs on boot that sets the higher clock frequencies onto the stock kernel? Or is full source still needed to do that?

.... I'm assuming that the new source code is still faulty,... If it is complete and working then there is no need to add modules, right?

Hi All. Promising thread was happening here, but no new updates since start of November? All the modders on holiday ?

Plenty of OCing been done mate..check the rom threads.

Check the different ROMs from Kallt_Kaffe; he gives the option of overclocking with the add-ons.

[Guest unklejoe]

I've just ran a Quadrant benchmark and at the end it states the ARMv6 cpu can hit a max freq of 806.4mhz if that clears some things up for people asking about maximum clock.

[Guest JonnyDixon]

when in setCPU i only get the option to set to 600,

Also what do i set the minimum to?

Whatever you want, except lower saves more battery

[Guest Camacha]

I am quite curious what results people have achieved overlocking the SF and whether it's actually a functional upgrade. Do you notice any difference in normal use?

[Guest fredewis]

dude the topic has been discussed the blade runs fine at 691 and 710 it can go higher depending on the phone itself as cpus are slightly different..... try flb r8a and kernel2 ...its great...

not if you just use it daily

if you do, dont overclock it!!

it'll just waste battery

overclocking is useful for like gamers or heavy users who need to use the processor a lot

[Guest Cyburner]

So people are saying using SetCPU on the stock ROM doesnt work.

I installed Z4root and rooted the phone in temporary mode.

then in installed SetCpu. on the main screen i see max as 600 and min as 245.

there is no option to move the slider beyond 600.

Whats the issue here? how did you guys clock it to 710?

YOu need a kernel that supports overclocking
