This release is mostly a SetCPU compatible release, so that you can do the OC conveniently with SetCPU.

I didn't test with 748MHz+ I keep my cpu as 710MHz :D

@Graveir: can you post a screenshot on Quadrant test with 806MHz? I'm curious to see the score.

/edit : I've just tested 806 and it restarted :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] X1111:
i dont khnow !

why it was not 691 by default?? it was on 600 ??

then i use setcpu 2.1.1a to overclock it...

is this same for anyone else ??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
Ok, here's what I achieved:

Steadily increasing OC from 710 MHz to 806 - it worked, I managed to run full quadrant test and posted my happiness here :P Then I tried one tier up and it simply hanged.

Then I tried setting 806 MHz at once - after entering launcherpro's app drawer it was reseting. So I overclocked it steadily up to 806 - restart in planet test in quadrant :P Once more, and we have a full test right after reboot, in the test that followed this one it restarted again, so I guess it's not that stable after all, but it works anyway ;)

Enclosed is a screenshot of a result - it would be better if I was able to perform it several times, since quadrant seems to have the best result at some third or fourth test, but hey, you can't have the whole world :D

EDIT: It's miniCM RC1 with self-performed SDcard 2048 fix, ****-load of apps installed and 68 MB free internal memory ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Edinhox:
Can someone upload a update.zip for the stock x8 rom 2.1.1.A.0.6

thx :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stevicc:
what about overvolting in higher freq? it should be more stable after that.

anyway very very good work. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] X1111:
i stress that it's not at 691MHZ by defualt on mine

it's load with any freq else some 245 or else

and at starting phone became very very slow than before

is this problem only for me ??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
yeah.

And can set voltage for CPU in v004?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] opexblue:
I try to instal it via xrecovery, it's not working. I guess I have to do it manually.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] qsmyle:
I use 004 with 4096 sd stuff.

Quadrant score is 1250.

I didn't have reboot till now.

I use SetCPU with profiles. Check it out! I set "screen off" profile to 122-600 to save battery.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] iliadelo:
this is from me:

running at 710mhz...i will try at 806 and i will post again
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
Can you upload 004 with 600Mhz as max (with unlocked SetCPU) so I can include it in my next miniCM.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
You can easily set max governor speed with this command (use it right after insmod x8oc.ko):

echo your_max_speed_here > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

During boot, even after x8oc.ko is loaded, the speed is still at 600MHz. After boot, the governor will see the reduced cpu usage then apply the new freqs. So, it's safe for you to use the code above to change max governor freq back to 600000.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cruizz:
stable on 748oc for minicm, 806oc always make X8 reboot :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ojojoj:
is it possible set CPU <122Mhz for better battery life?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
I thought about that too. But it may not make a difference, because even with slower speed, we will still be using minimal voltage (as 122MHz now has). It also may affect the system when you have an SMS or a call, I don't know.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] iliadelo:
in 806mHz i get
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
This is awesome! Love the compatibility with setcpu!

Hopefully once custom kernels are made we can achieve 800mhz stable :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
I must insist Nth time that even we get custom kernels, OC result will still be the same. You guys are expecting too much from custom kernels....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanefirst:
What about increasing voltage? Wouldn't it improve stability? At least in theory?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
Oh had no idea , I thought we could increase voltage more than max(vdd7) in kernels. Thus maybe getting stabler high speeds.

Sent from my X8
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
If you can do overvoltage in kernels, then we can do that within the modules.

Look at the kernel sources for MSM7227 provided by other people: they don't have overvoltage also.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] antonio89drop:
doixanh

I noticed that you entered as frequencies 480MHz, 600MHz and others that do not follow the multitude of 19.2 mhz so I was wondering if you could put in a forthcoming v005 type intermediate frequencies between 729mhz & 749mhz type have 739.2 MHz .So from our push to the max overclock without it arrives at the frequency of crashes. Then out of curiosity I wanted to ask if you think you can increase the stability of overclocking in the near future in some way?

Congratulations for the excellent work you are doing
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Compwxr:
@Doixanh

Think this way, we already know no one was able to implement overvoltage in modules for msm7227 as you stated before, but, if you are successfull to do it, you'll be the first and the credits revert to you ;)

Keep great work
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
very good v4

not passed, 748 mhz, is very unstable
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
Well done on adding missing frequencies, so the steps are correct now!

Can you tell us which of freqs are undervolted ?

Which parameter to pass to keep it at 600mhz but make undervolted?

Thanks again!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
748 mhz gives a reboot. Unstable for me.

Btw..I was just curious. Does overclocking shorten the life of your smartphone? How much of pushing the CPU farther is safe for MSM 7227? Since there are devices out there with an overclocked msm7227 running at 800 mhz out of the box, so can we conclude that 800 mhz is the safe limit?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] trapacska:
i tested it, for me works, but i don't overclock my phone, because the speed is shown only in benchmark. user experience or games won't be better.

but, thanks :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
@doixanh

After I installed v04 overclock, I lost all the apps installed on the sd card. I restored my rom, reinstalled the overclock but I get the same result. Is it a bug?

Is anyone else facing the same problem?

(Could it be a problem with hw config? I added the required line at the top )

P.S - Overclock is working great btw. But I lose all my apps :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Immediate freqs are not available. Standard freqs, like 480MHz and 600MHz, are based of stock PLLs and we cannot change that. So, 19.2MHz is the minimum difference between freqs.

I know that we need stability when OCing. But to do that, we must find a way to do the overvoltage. And for this, I haven't got any clue.

This is what I am trying to do. I don't have any documentation about this though.

Undervolted freqs are the stock ones: 122.8MHz(minimal voltage already!), 245.76MHz, 320MHz, 480MHz. To keep it at 600MHz, you just do this command after insmod x8oc.ko:

echo 600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

By default, after x8oc.ko is loaded, scaling_max_freq is raised to 691MHz (as of v004). However, the actual cpu freq is still at 600MHz during boot, because "ondemand" governor hasn't seen a low cpu usage to change freq. So it's safe to use the above command after insmod x8oc.ko at boot to keep max freq at 600MHz.

I know that there are some devices running MSM7227 with 800MHz. I think that they have a specific hardware configuration for that. For example, they increased voltage for CPU in the hardware level by default - just my guess.

I don't know how to answer, because nobody reported missing apps after installing x8oc.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
Thanks for replying.

So can we not increase voltage through software means? Can the hardware voltage boost like in those devices, be emulated through software? will that help in reaching higher frequencies like 800mhz stable?

This is weird. I am on J007 ROM.

Tell me, is it ok if I add that line at the very beginning of hw config or is there a specific place to add it?

I will move all apps to phone, then install overclock and then push them back to SD. will check if that works.

Edit; Checked again. Does NOT allow apps to be installed on SD card.

Anyone facing this problem?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kuyagaol:
1st. thanx for this great module..

2nd. sorry for my english..

since i included this module in my rom,

i sense a lag in gaming with minicm, floyo, rachtCM7 ROM.

now, i'm back to stock rom (2.1.1.A.0.6) and do a benchmark test.

i'm using a 600/245 freq in every test.

(scaling ondemand in setcpu)

result is average of 5 test in a row.

(linpack - quadrant - neocore)

:: 7.701 - 515.6 - 37.36 >> module OFF

:: 4.448 - 315.6 - 21.04 >> module ON

+ 8.08 - 514.4 - 28.84 >> module ON but 710/245 freq

so, i quess something is missing here,

i think with module, will get a same result with the same frequency without module,

and increase the result with over clocking the proc.

i don't know about "don't believe of benchmarking",

but i guess they'r meant for something.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Thanks for your detailed report. It seems that x8oc doesn't work correctly with stock 600MHz. I will investigate it soon.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanefirst:
@doixanh

You said, that custom kernel won't give us more OC possibilities, but look at this post by J in X10 forums:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12844517&postcount=6021

especially this:

-increased scaling speed between freq for better response

-cpu voltage tweaks

-increased freq granulatiry (128khz steps)

Do you think this is still possible to implement as a module?

Maybe it's a proper way to further development of your great module.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
They have different CPU, therefore, the voltage control is different also.

Hey but he said it's cpu voltage tweak, not overvoltage things.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanefirst:
What about scaling speed?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
When you use the phone, if the cpu demand is high, ondemand governor will increase the cpu freq. Scaling speed is the difference between these ondemand freqs.

HI

i've done overclock default to 691MHz and im checking cpu speed in elixir app and after reboot it tells me that i have 691 and after time i got still 600 (BogoMips)

can i use setCPU after manually installing module? ive done step by step and checked it twice

v004 work on floyo 0.15

first install this,my phone reboot once

after that,it work

not testing to slide setCPU on higher freq

sometimes after reboot,max freq back to 600Mhz,but its very rarely

i feel it still laggy

thanks 'the module man'

great job

my reports so far

b4 push oc module :

after push x8oc (set freq via setCPU on 748.8Mhz

but sometimes reboot itself (no 'sd card safely removed' issue)

and finally,i will says its true battery usage slightly increase

I'm trying to OC to the version I tested 2.0.A.0.24 V003 and V004 but are not supported in a x10 mini with this version of hardware.

Not because they are not compatible I guess things will be the kernel or something like that but it put the module OC and it's not sony ericsson ...

Can you help? Or tell me I can do to fix it? The problem comes with hw_config.sh orders ... if you charge a no-hassle normal.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
doixanh, you can change max frequency for CPU, but can you also change min frequency (90/100MHz instead of 122MHz)?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
Test freqs before apply it at boot is not good idea,if i set from 710 to 741 using setcpu on stock rom i will get reboot if i set it on boot not using setcpu i will not get reboot and system is stable.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
WTF!? My friend can set 600-806mhz, but i even cant set 748mhz without freeze. Can someone help my with this?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
Nope, you have just a worse CPU that cannot be easily overclocked. Some people can't even get to 619 without bootloop.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
Overclocking in general is about luck, if you get lucky and get a processor from an overclocking stock than you'll be able to do alot with it. Like my pc intel dual core can get from 2.5 GHz to 3.33 with no hassle at all, but it's all about luck.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] hugerth:
For example my top is 710... strange thing - some guys can set 760, some only 619...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
it's not strange. cpus are produced in batches. some batches may have higher quality silicone wafers/transistors/etc and can run at a higher clockspeed without affecting stability and/or thermal issues, while others may not. it's the same case as normal computer cpus where the same case happens.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
So overvolt will not help.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
rule of thumb in overclocking is try to raise it up as high as it can go on stock voltages, then when it starts to get unstable then u play with stuff like vmod or overvoltage. higher clock speed generally requires higher power to the core. so overvolt may or may not help. but of course there's also the possibility of burning the cpu if the thermal design cannot cope with the amount of extra heat that will potentially be produced
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Where I should add this line?

insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko # x8 overclock

bellow this:

# hw_config.sh
# Hardware configuration file
# Version 2010-09-21, JN
# Values imported from delta: Version 2010-05-19 Shakira

or after that?

I can't make this work on Floyo 0.20. Copyed .ko file and edited hw_config,but can move the slider more that 600Mhz.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Kurinkita:
When I use this module with Floyo 0.20, after a few hours it reverts back to the default 600MHz value and I need the reboot to get it back overclocked.

Later Edit:

Installed SetCPU and set the freqs to min 122 and max 748, ondemand and set on boot. Seems like it works perfectly now. Will test it for a day and post the conclusion. All-on-all, seems to work fine now though.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sgt-Hartley:
@ doixanh, as you know I got new x8 5 days ago, With my old x8, Max I got without reboot was 729mhz using set CPU but with new x8 I can get 787mhz with no reboots in over 24hrs. I pressume its same as a PC CPU transistor quality and thermal connectivity etc etc :s

What is Max other people can get? (Without reboots) provide rom info etc..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
Mine works at 768 MHz fully stable, it is quite stable (random reboots under heavy usage) at 787 MHz, at 806 I'm able to perform at least one quadrant test and at the highest tier it simply hangs upon entering any menu ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sgt-Hartley:
Hmmm. Same here. But I've seen people complain at 729mhz with constant reboots, which is what my old x8 used to do.. which rom do you use?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
Freqs were tested on miniCM, RC1 most probably. But I'm using the same stable freq for all ROMs I use or used, miniCM RC1 and 1.0.0, racht's 0.20, Elelinux v006a, cyanogenshakira v2... However, the reaction is always different. I can't recall how it was to use miniCM without OC, but racht's ROM seemed to slow down, while elelinux seems to work pretty much the same with OC. Of course, benchmark results are always better with OC, but are they valid, if there is no difference in usage and game? I guess this would require some very specified tests with very few apps installed...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Kurinkita:
All I can say now is that it works very well after SetCPU was installed. My freq didn't revert back to 600Mhz or other surprises.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] firdausmbois:
i'm just curious because other phone like p500 can overclock upto 800mhz but on x8 most people can oc on 710mhz is it because it a software oc or it hardware issue?

if it because software oc so we really need boot loader cracked for higher overclock :)

sorry my english
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cruizz:
yes it could be need cracked boot...btw i use at 787 oc and preety stable,over that value make our device reboot :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
It is hardware related, maybe a custom kernel will give you more voltage to the processor and thus better overclock... but at stock voltage it's a matter of luck how much you can overclock. Personally I can OC to 769 Mhz stable.

I want to use this module on my ROM, but I have some doubts:

Using this module may cause damage to the phone?

The phone will heat up more or will consume more battery?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
It all depends on how much you overclock your phone. The phone has some security about this itselfs, for example, if you putt high frequency, maybe it will reboots, or FC. It´s normal to drain more battery cause its on a high frequency than it demands more battery, but always depends on your use/configuration. I used that on my rom without any problems running at 710MHz, but I removed as I´m not using games anymore :)
