I don't really use it that much and it wasn't slow before, so not really but here are my antutu benchmarks with GPU OC to 450, post yours and we can compare:

Thanks, i got it up to 450, but i'm going to see if i can get it any higher.
[Fire TV Android Development] retroben:
Can you try out Mupen64Plus AE with those overclocked rates?

You can get a nice dev build in this thread to test (I also have it) that fixes DK64 collisions and stops Banjo-Tooie from crashing.

http://www.paulscode.com/forum/index.php?topic=1797.0

Try running Banjo-Tooie with my "no frameskip" code.

There is now a cheat editor built-in on this dev update,so you can easily add it to the cheat list.

No Frameskip

8007913F 0001

It normally lags quite a bit for me,please tell me how well it runs for you with overclocked CPU and GPU rates.

[MENTION=2205195]jmandawg[/MENTION] Hi, If it possible for you to enable the kernel exec (kexec) to allow us run linux kernel and I did asked [MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION] to add the kexec support for CMW recovery. I think the kernel with kexec enable so it will allow cmw recovery with kexec enable boot linux kernel. rbox still figure how do it. I couldn't risk overwrite recovery partition with linux kernel due the kernel itself tend over 20mb which is the recovery partition only has 10mb space.

Otherwise I tested benchmark on my AFTV got 29301 score (stock) and am going test this overclock kernel to see how much improvement.

thanks again...

*UPDATED* I ran your overclock kernel, It apparently that benchmark went decreased to 26414 score vs amazon stock 29301. I puzzled. Something is going wrong. Maybe I should reset factory and reinstall fresh rbox's pre-rooted then re-test benchmark stock rbox pre-rooted vs overclock kernel again.
[Fire TV Android Development] nhumber:
There's a pre built fedora kernel that works already in the fedora thread.. No need for kexec or unlocking either..
[Fire TV Android Development] chrootz:
[MENTION=5838320]nhumber[/MENTION] Does pre-built fedora kernel size byte under 10mb? Let me read fedora thread again. thank you letting me know.
[Fire TV Android Development] nhumber:
No you'll have to do some playing with partitions, diag partition is what I tested, renamed to recovery.
[Fire TV Android Development] nhumber:
can you try running 3dmark benchmark with the modded kernel and gpu clock? might give a good indication on if theres any real world performance gains for gaming, i dont game on my firetv at all but i ran the benchmark just to watch and get a "stock" score for comparison, i scored 10958 on icestorm unlimited, i took a screenshot with the FPS of the different tests i can upload later, my galaxy s4 scored 10650 but i noticed google play was downloading stuff in the background..

side load from here.

[Fire TV Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
Question: I get the fact that having an OC kernel is cool, but is it really needed? This thing runs very smooth, and I'm unsure if the extra load on the CPU is worth it... Even the potential shorter life to the CPU.

Also I don't know how efficient the thermal pad ( uses a pad not paste ) is under normal circumstances let alone when its going to be OC'd.
[Fire TV Android Development] nhumber:
its probably not needed, i agree with the device being fast enough already, i dont play games on it, but for someone who does there could be some improvements noticed in things like emulators where you might already be seeing FPS drop here and there. 1.9ghz is the stock clock speed for these CPUs in some smartphones so i doubt its doing the hardware any damage at all.
[Fire TV Android Development] retroben:
Fire TV really does have a massive heatsink,which should help greatly when CPU and GPU are overclocked.
[Fire TV Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
I'm talking about the heat... Sure it has a nice heatsink, but it can and will heat soak sooner or later...
[Fire TV Android Development] chrootz:
Have you seen the aftv internal? They got darn excellent heat sink fully aluminum enough handling the heat soak absorb.

I have tested clocking over clock CPU and surprised that the heat is normal range yet hit overheat!

However I tested the benchmark yet beat the pre-rooted stock benchmark. We still tweaking like we still in baby mode
[Fire TV Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
Fair enough..
[Fire TV Android Development] jmandawg:
Not sure what i'm doing wrong, but it seems the more i overclock it the lower the score on antutu.... Sorry guys this kernel might be a wash.
[Fire TV Android Development] retroben:
Lower benchmark scores when overclocked is not a problem,it is an oversight with all benchmarks when done on an overclocked device.
[Fire TV Android Development] AFTVnews.com:
Am I correct in assuming that it's safe / proper to extract "myboot.img" in OP's attached zip and place it in /system/boot for use with [MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION] 's boot menu?
[Fire TV Android Development] nhumber:
You need to remove boot.img in system/boot and replace with myboot.img renamed to boot.img.
[Fire TV Android Development] AFTVnews.com:
Sorry, my question wasn't worded well. What I meant to ask was, can OP's kernel be used independent of his installer? Meaning, is there anything that OP's script is doing that is necessary to use this kernel, or is it sufficient to extract "myboot.img" from the attached zip --> rename it boot.img --> and swap it for the one in rbox's /system/boot ?
[Fire TV Android Development] nhumber:
I wondered the same myself but I think so because his init.d addition is empty unless u want to use it.. Nice thing is there's no risk.. If it doesn't just reload a different boot. Img and your good again. But.. Not sure if it's compatible with the newest update.
[Fire TV Android Development] AFTVnews.com:
Yeah, I figured as much, but I wanted to be completely thorough before mentioning it on my site. Now that rbox's boot menu is required to update pre-rooted ROMs there's going to be a lot more people willing to try new kernels. So I want to make sure they have the right info since this will probably be the most popular custom kernel available right now.

Hopefully [MENTION=2205195]jmandawg[/MENTION] will chime in.
[Fire TV Android Development] jmandawg:
Yes it should work. It will not find the initd script to call but it should not complain. The thing is, I've messed with the overclock quite a bit and the performance improvements are very minimal due to thermal throttling. The higher you go the more it throttles and at some point you actually lose performance. You can mess with the throttling Temps a bit but it would take a while to tweak both the Temps and oc and keep it stable.
[Fire TV Android Development] AFTVnews.com:
Great. Thanks for the reply.
[Fire TV Android Development] danielcbit:
Don't know if this the best place to ask that, but can some one point me to a guide or instructions to correctly cross-compile a working kernel for firetv?

I have a device that I need to plug in into Fire TV, but it seems that the stock kernel does not support it.

It is the lightpack (an ambilight clone - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/woodenshark/lightpack-ambient-backlight-for-your-displays)

I think the stock kernel is missing some input modules that would make it work successfully.
[Fire TV Android Development] jmandawg:
Any tutorial for building a kernel should work, just use a NDK with 4.6 GCC, and grab the current kernel config from the running kernel on the fireTV (/proc/config.gz i think).
[Fire TV Android Development] freezer2k:
Hi,

What temperatures are you guys getting?

I'm currently testing around in Fedora (see thread) and this kernel starts to throttle at 70C.

Currently recompiling to change that to 85C.

This is also an open source implementation, so we are not sure if the temp sensors are indeed correct.

My problem is, that even at stock clock, the device throttles very quickly. More than one core at full load will result in throttling.

It has been said that the FireTV has a huge heatsink, but I think the connection to it is far from optimal. They seem to use some cheap thermal paste on the chip, then there is the metal-shielding, some more paste and then the cooler with a rather smaller surface area that goes on top of the shielding.

So I'm really not sure how well the heat is actually going from the chip to the cooler.

I wonder if this is just me (under Fedora), or if you guys also see rather quick throttling happening?
[Fire TV Android Development] jmandawg:
I had the same issue trying to overclock which made overclocking performance worse than stock. You can try to adjust the throttle temps, but if it gets too hot it will just reboot. The heatsink is big, but there is zero airflow.
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
jmandawg, if you don't mind, how did you set up your build environent? I'm using amazon source+the config from rbox's bueller-51.1.4.1 and I'm getting a warning

warning: (SND_SOC_MSM8X60 && SND_SOC_QDSP6) selects

[Fire TV Android Development] Blacklac:
Get some Fujipoly thermal pads. They are the Go-To for performance on PC overclocks builds, mostly GPU VRM's. It looks easy enough to replace the thermal pad.

Flash the boot.img from the flashable zip the same way you flashed the boot.img from Lollipop.

never mind i figured it out....i first flashed the rom zip through fastboot....i didnt work,the phone got stuck at the sony logo, so i then flashed the boot.img from thunderzap kernel...and now i can acces cwm and flash from there.....:laugh:
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
No I don't think so, maybe once we get it merged with CM12 and other custom ROMs.
[Sony Xperia L] Steve Mc. Gregory:
what about CyanogenMod 12? release date, or when it will be avaliable on our devices .. etc.
[Sony Xperia L] TehHitMeh:
Theres no information on a new version of CM, except that Cyanogen team has started working on Xperia Z's and Nexus 5.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
CM12 will eventually get released, either late this year or early next year. However that doesn't mean we'll be getting it as well. We probably will, once we get more bugs fixed with L but yeah, no information about that as of now.
[Sony Xperia L] Steve Mc. Gregory:
No network right? it's so bad, if will network coverage I will use this till full release will come :crying:
[Sony Xperia L] corphish:
Me Unlucky or whatever

I guess I am unlucky to have the .zip but not yet tasted 'L on L' :D :p. I can't get fastboot to flash those img's.

If someone can help me out, it will be really appreciated. Here's how I tried to put the ROM on my phone (failures of course)

-I started adb, ran 'adb devices', won't show up anything, re-connected again, this time adb would recognize, but state it offline. I upgraded adb from 1.0.29 to v1.0.31, it would then work properly.

-But fastboot does'nt work at all. It won't show any device when I run 'fastboot devices'.

-I tried installing drivers again (disabling signature verification and all), it would not work.

-Although flashtool does say 'device connected in fastboot mode', but when I check drivers from Devices option, it won't list any drivers, both under adb and fastboot.

I have lost hopes of flashing by that process, I might have to wait untill a flashable zip is available. But any help for now will surely be appreciated, and since WiFi and BT has been fixed, ROM is quite usable (atleast Internet can be done).

Thank You

[Sony Xperia L] fatino:
"FIX" FOR VIDEO RECORDING

I can't take it anymore really. This community is so toxic it's worse than League of Legends community.

Problem with video recording is that we have really ****ty exposure by default. Which makes videos laggy. What you do is you lower exposure to the minimum. For example you can use Cinema FV-5 or Focal Beta or whatever.

The app must also be able to change contrast of video. Because when you lower exposure you get pretty dark picture. So you lower contrast to compensate.

That way you get 60FPS (!!) stable recording in low light conditions.

Proof:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCB_5VjHSxo

Here's original video as I don't know if youtube will get 60fps option or not:

[Sony Xperia L] fatino:
"Could you tell, when modem would be fixed?"

"man please make sure to fix the hwcomposer thing from the begining"

Respect should be earned man. I come from SGS 1 forum which was I think 3-4 years old when I left. And trust me, there's a big difference. We need a mod to ban all those ETAs plses, fixes plses, gappses plses.

It's not fun as a developer to receive this kind of feedback.
[Sony Xperia L] josfr4ncisco:
Well, I agree with you. ETAs should be banned, and developers should be respected.
