Root Droid X 2.2 Overclock (Kernel Module w/Instructions)

[Carpatus]

How are you editing the /system/xbin/setscaling.sh file?

I'm opening with notepad on my laptop. Should I be using something else?

Thought so... That will mess things up... On windows use Notepad++ or you can use RootExplorer and edit the file directly on the phone.

I used Notepad ++ initially before installing then RootExplorer to tweak it and everything has worked fine for me

The highest entry for Droid X is now at #8 at http://smartphonebenchmarks.com . Looks like someone else got it stable at 1.4GHz.

 

[CaptainTaco]

Interestingly... Even the 1.1Ghz overclock locked up on me, stress test worked fine, real world use worked fine, but angry birds... freezes after about 5 minutes of play... Now I can't even run the lowest of the overclocks fail to my X.

mmm, agreed, Notepad++ for PC editing, on the phone I just skipped the adding the .sh files to /system/xbin and use gscript instead, then I can edit, execute, etc., without having to mount the system partition or use adb.

So say my x rebooted. How do i go about trying something new. Do i edit it in root explorer...execute then run the "run" command in terminal?

Ok, well first off, thanks for turning me onto notepad++. Will be using it from now on for my other coding processes. Do I need to re-install, mount, etc, because it just ran the line again and it's still not working?

On an unrelated note, for some reason I can't download both vignette and root explorer. I can purchase them but the download fails. However, I was able to download SetCPU a few hours ago.

i leave for a few hours and people are running stable at 1.35? very nice
I still wanna see someone's setscaling.sh at 1.4 that has been stable for a few hours
I've been stable at 1.3 since about 2 pm today. Battery life is PHENOMENAL

also, don't see "The Town" it was boring as hell and cut into OC time

[JustinD2473]

whenever i run the setscaling file it get a whole bunch of errors for "directory non existant" for all the directorys it needs for the overclock.

won't apply any of the settings from the setscaling.sh

the setscaling file and the overclock.ko file are both in their correct folders also.

Testing 1.3 @ 64 vsels. Will report on battery life tomorrow.

Is there any significant advantage in everyday use with an OC'ed DX? I don't think my usage is too CPU intensive. Has anybody found a stable undervolt that can significantly boost battery life?

This is all new to me.. but I've worked up to this:


echo 64 > /proc/overclock/max_vsel
echo 1300000 > /proc/overclock/max_rate
echo 1 300000000 25 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo 2 700000000 38 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo 3 900000000 50 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo 4 1300000000 64 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo 0 1300000 > /proc/overclock/freq_table
echo 1 900000 > /proc/overclock/freq_table
echo 2 700000 > /proc/overclock/freq_table
echo 3 300000 > /proc/overclock/freq_table

Hope it helps. 1750 score (which doesn't mean a whole lot to me). Seems stable so far (which means a whole lot to me)...

I'm running rubiX Focused 0.5 on 2.3.15 leaked. Never upgraded OTA.

I have "setscaling.sh" and "setscaling100.sh" both in system/xbin/. The former is untouched and the latter has:

echo 64 > /proc/overclock/max_vsel
echo 1300000 > /proc/overclock/max_rate
echo 1 400000000 27 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo 2 700000000 38 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo 3 900000000 50 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo 4 1300000000 64 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo 0 1300000 > /proc/overclock/freq_table
echo 1 900000 > /proc/overclock/freq_table

To edit/run it, I use root explorer, mount r/w, and use the text editor to change it. Then in adb run
# su
# setscaling100.sh

or I think clicking setscaling100.sh in root explorer and hitting "execute" should work.

If you find that you don't like your settings, just go back to adb/root explorer and execute "setscaling.sh", which should have the stock freq and voltages.

SETSCALING100? IVE BEEN EDITING A FILE NAMED SETSCALING. NOT 100

EDIT: CAN SUM1 LINK ME TO SOMETHING THAT EXPLAINS THE LINES? I.E: ECHO 1 ISTHE LOWEST VALUE. ECHO4 IS HIGHEST. WHY?

Yeah that's fine. I just wanted a nice clean backup to run in case my phone was going turtle or something.

 

[jr1125]

Can sum1 link me to something that explains the lines? I.e: Echo 1 isthe lowest value. Echo4 is highest. Why?

cat /proc/overclock/*

uh what do i do with this?




Also on 1.3 played with some diff numbers and got a quad of 1838.

The source to the actual kernel module you are running is in the zip.

 

[LexusBrian400]

I turned this into an update.zip

All you need to do now is run the insmod code and setscaling100.sh from terminal after flashing this.

Beesleys OC Update.zip

After you flash that and reboot..

From a terminal with "su" (#)

insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko
setscaling100.sh



Boom. Done. 1.38Ghz

If your phone cant run that high, edit the values via root explorer.

People who did the OTA should have no problems

Hi everyone,

I wrote a simple Linux shell script called dooverclock.sh. Give it a try. Standalone.

1. Extract
2. Chmod
3. Run dooverclock.sh
4. Follow directions (1.2, 1.3, 1.4 are meant for D2) in UI

This is currently untested. Will port to Windows as soon as I port the D2 version to Windows.

CANT DOWNLOAD (ON GOV PC) CAN U PM ME THE SETTINGS BY CHANCE?


ALSO HERES HIGHEST IVE GOTTEN SO FAR

Yeah man, mind posting your .sh file?
I'd appreciate it!

He was quoting me... but here are my final settings. And yes I'm running Fission 1.0.

This is very stable, will find out what it does to battery today. Got my Droid X on August 7th, running leaked 2.2 with Fission 1.0 ROM. Figured I'd just day that all just to help people with questions.

Post your setscaling please... would like to compare your vsel's to mine.
