[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duhaznstylez:
Hey if you have any task managers or app killers turn it off or uninstall it becuase i had the same problem
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
What ROM? My CM7 nightlies occasionally killed the Camera Flash, seemed to be low battery charge related... other times it was random. Duno if it's the same case, but maybe before ya go all out, do a NAND backup and see if another rom has working flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generic_tipo:
Alright my screen itself may bed bad? I am unsure. I flashed CM7, and for a while everything appeared to be going smoothly. The real trouble began when I started playing Stupid Zombies(fun game, angry birds with guns and zombies). The game worked fine, but at one point the touch screen started acting weird. I would be holding my finger on the right side, but the cursor would be having a seizure on the left side of the screen. This random behavior didn't seem to affect the rest of the phone though, I pulled the battery and the same thing occurred. Eventually it simply stopped, but left me with a notifications bar that I cannot pull down in portrait mode. When I flip to landscape I can pull down the notifications bar, and the top part of the screen seems to respond just fine to my input. I reflashed and wiped and the same thing occurred. I flashed into a sense rom(while wiping of course) and my bar still will not respond to my touch whilst in portrait mode! I am vexed, any ideas would be swell.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazda:
If you wiped/reflashed and wiped/flashed a sense rom and still have the same problem, it might be a hardware issue! I'm not an expert on this but I had a similar issue on my HTC HD2 where part of my screen would work and the other part wouldn't, it turned out to be my digitizer that was messed up! I would take it to a cell phone shop and see if they can give you a free estimate on fixing your problem for you.

If you feel froggy like they say, try to do it yourself.....

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generic_tipo:
I was afraid I would get this reply, I may indeed give it a shot myself. I'm pleasantly surprised by how cheap the replacement digitizer though. Thanks for the links.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabulousnotion:
Hi, I have a question. Did the digitizer replacement fix your problem? I am having the same exact issue with my girlfriend's EVO (rooted, with Cyanogenmod, done several wipes and flashes with no luck) Works in landscape mode, but not in portrait mode.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9h0s7:
Get an app that highlights keypresses/gestures and test the area or test a different ROMs landscape orientation

Then you would know almost for sure if it was hardware.

info about MSM7227 CPU:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7227&c=qualcomm_msm7227
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Holy sh*t. They included bunches of controllers inside this MSM 7227
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Compwxr:
Is there anyway to enable that turbo mode by moding? It must be locked somewhere, the safe clock is 600mhz, but it might run 800mhz or more stable too, might be battery draining issue, or overvoltage necessity but with scaling that should not be a real issue, if only used to extreme situations, and, for a bit of time.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ojojoj:
f.e. Samsung Galaxy Ace has same CPU and it run at 800Mhz
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
This is a great project and it looks very promissing.

ZTE Blade has same cpu and they had problems overclocking just the main core, but in the end they solved it, I guess you could take a look at their solution as well.

And thanks again for the dualtouch module.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
I read many overclocked kernel sources for MSM7227 in difference devices. What they did was to modify acpuclock.c :

1. add new freqs to freq_table

2. add new freqs to clkctl_acpu_speed arrays

3. modify acpuclk_set_div to set PLL for overclocked freqs

Because acpuclock is initialized very early during boot process, cpufreq (initialized much later) will read those available freqs from acpuclock to apply to its governors.

In our case, because we cannot modify acpuclock in the kernel before it's initialized, our module will be loaded much later than both acpuclock and cpufreq. Therefore, my approach is to modify (inline patch) both acpuclock and cpufreq in memory, while the kernel is running.

So far, as mentioned in OP, I modified cpufreq and acpuclock data (as in 1. and 2.), so that Android thinks that max freq is set at 800MHz. We will have to do some inline memory patches to acpuclock function to change PLL for freqs more than 600MHz during runtime. More precisely, we need to patch acpuclk_set_div function.

I did a quick study about ARM instruction set, looked for branch (and branch with links) instructions. I managed to redirect calls to acpuclk_set_div to my own function in module, so that acpuclock_set_rate calls to my function, instead of the original one. However, it seems that the param received by my function is always NULL.

Looking for reasons and solutions. Any suggestions?

@racht: no, we thank you for your hard work in your Hackdroid ROMs. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
It seems that I made a mistake. acpuclk_set_div was not separated as a function. Instead, the compiler included it in the caller function (acpuclk_set_rate). This will be a big big big problem for us to hijack the call.....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] LFSPovo:
Hope everything works out! 200mhz is a big jump :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] owain94:
Can u share your sources?

Maby i can help you (:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
I will need to rewrite the module, because everything is placed in my x8gesture :D I will do it soon.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
The initial commit is pushed to github at : https://github.com/doixanh/X8Overclock

All contributions are welcome.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] andrej456:
as an example of omap3

http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/

This project consists of a kernel module for OMAP3 phones with Android to unlock any processor frequency/voltage combination and a companion graphical app to ease the configuration. The phone must be rooted so that the kernel module can be loaded.

The module has an interface in /proc/overclock/* that allows enabling and disabling of overclock in runtime without rebooting. No flashing of custom roms or kernels is needed, since that is not even possible with the Milestone, Droid X and others.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
Thats good idea but edit is needed because X8 does not have 1,2 processor :rolleyes:

EDIT: With 800 processor thats so close x10 1000 processor,cant imagine how fast x8 will be :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] andrej456:
to not fit in the x8, but the wiki to be useful

if we take this as an example you can write a module

sorry for my english
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
It seems that my approach is like milestone-overclock. Their CPU is different, but we can know that we're having a good direction.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Good news: I managed to hijack calls to acpuclk_set_rate (the function contains acpuclk_set_div). This way, we can write our own set_rate and set_div function.

Destination is not too far away :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
YES, YES and YES! It's running at 684MHz! Will upload a screenshot soon!

This below screenshot is taken at 710MHz with only CPU test

It seems that our CPU is not stable above 748MHz.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DAXGr:
When I do echo x29 > /proc/x8oc

CPU master still shows 710mhz as Max in bar.

However it shows 240~787mhz in green letters.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
standard_clocks[4].vdd = 2; // a little bit under voltage for 245760
standard_clocks[5].vdd = 3; // a little bit under voltage for 320000

Can't you do it same way as you did it for undervolting?

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
Sorry, I didn't check it well and I'm not so good with programming yet... maybe looking at some other phone's OC kernel (like LG Optimus which has same CPU) will help?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] X1111:

For people who want to set specific freq at boot, write the following instead of the code above:

i use MyPhoneExplorer....

what app did u use for calc?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] aerosmith1:
for me, with the oc 0.3 with the stock 2.1 rom without jit or anything else

Before installing oc:

quadrant :440

linpack 4.1

after installing oc 710 mhz:

quadrant : 420

linpack : 4.0

oc 600 mhz:

quadrant: 380

linpack :3.7

the tests was repeated three times and the results was the same( tried to reboot too).

so the quession is: its only compatible with custom roms?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
It should work with stock roms. I don't know why your scores are reduced :-p

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
Meh, 58 degrees is not so bad, when I got my X8 in November I was playing on it in the train and it had certainly more degrees, simply because I was holding it in my hand, the processor was working hard and the compartment was hot ;) And also the battery was being used heavily ;)

So where is the problem in the mapping of the screenshot?

If we know where this problem we can solve for all

other programs that use this method (wrong) screenshots.

Let me know

Then those who asked me if I could make it available I use the rom for two reasons I can not mine is a "x10 mini" and not a "X8", I'm using a rom that I changed in many parts but makes use of the work of users others and then I can not post this rom.

However I'm running to optimize the rom now 729 mhz are can to exceed 1300pt quadrant because I got screwed 1330pt.

Here's the screenshot:

Too bad that my "x10 mini" crashes at 748mhz when it comes to
