With devices having faster and faster processors what is the point? The Asus Transformer Prime is reported to have a quad-core cpu and with the new Snapdragon S3 processors already clocked at 1.5 gHz and the S4 having a max clock at 2.5 gHz with asynchronous technology (meaning the second core is only used when [...]

This is not really out of the norm for a new device, as they all see overclocking following a release. Depending on the device and hardware results always vary. Some devices may see gains of as much as 600MHz while remaining stable and other may not make past 300MHz without going down in flames. Recent [...]

If you head over to Verizon’s offers page, you’ll see first hand that if you hover over the Motorola Droid 2, Verizon is showing a 1.2GHz processor ad. While many of us would easily call out Verizon for their mistake, is an update coming to the Motorola Droid 2 overclocking this TI OMAP processor to [...]

It looks like KingKlick may the first person to release an updated Kernel for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G allowing the device to be overclocked to 1.5 GHz.  We haven’t tried the new Kernel yet, but KingKlick normally does some good work. We’ve looked at a couple of guides that had already been written, but they [...]

I’m pretty sure the guys over at Team Whiskey never sleep as they have now announced “The Manhattan Project 1.6GHz RC0 – Team Whiskey” They have successfully overclocked the Vibrant to a whopping 1600MHz with a goal of reaching 2000MHz. Here’s a little excerpt from their post over at XDA: Project is simple in design and is [...]

Our speed hungry friend coolbho3k who recently revealed that the G2 has been overclocked to a stable 1344MHz, has even more recently released a YouTube video of the device running benchmarks at a staggering 1420MHz! As most of you know, the T-Mobile G2 comes stock with an 800MHz processor.  Seeing the hardware pushed safely to these [...]

When Motorola said that the Droid X could not be rooted, the modding community was quick to prove them wrong and even with a locked bootloader, custom ROMs are being flashed daily on this device. One thing that hasn’t been done on the DX until now is overclocking that 1 GHz TI OMAP processor, until [...]

Its finally here folks, the Voodoo lagfix for the T-Mobile Vibrant variant of the Samsung Galaxy S family, courtesy of François Simond (@supercurio) and Andrew Randall (@justanotherdev). A little background on this “voodoo”: @supercurio has been hard at work for the past few months developing a permanent, easy to use fix for the “lag” that a [...]

Be it an international version or a stateside version, I haven’t talked to a single person that doesn’t love their Galaxy S device.  With development for Android devices forging ahead, and new devices coming out so rapidly it is always exciting when a new achievement is reached. XDA member blackjackboy and devs like AJerman got to [...]

Thanks to Coolbho3000, you can now overclock your Evo to 1.2+GHz. He has posted all of the files necessary for achieving this speed over on his thread at XDA-Developers. Not all Evos are the same so your exact speed may be more or less his achievement of 1.267 GHz. In the video below he also uses Linpack for Android [...]

After the overclocking rumor that was spread a few months ago, I was quite hesitant when I saw another overclocking patch for the Dream\Sapphire. However, being the techie that I am, I couldn’t resist taking a closer look. After a few days of testing on Cyanogen’s recently released 5.0.7-DS (Eclair) builds, I am thrilled to [...]

@kmobs is one bad mutha…shut yo mouth! Thanks to his kernel and some stupidly brave souls, @WootRoot, @TheDudesAndroid and @Acsteffy87, the Nexus One has made it to the top 10 in Linpack results. 10. thedude 22.186 Nexus One/ cm50b3/kmobs kernel 1267.2MHz google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1/ERD79/22607:user/release-keys/kmobs With a MFLOP/s result of 22.186 and overclocked to 1267.2MHz, @TheDudesAndroid’s Nexus One [...]

Kmobs has modified the Nexus kernel to bump the speeds by 10%. Although a small increase, it shows promising signs of progress. Using Cyanogens 5.0.2 Nexus ROM, and getting the idea from XDA member coolbho3000, the process looks relatively simple. As you can see in the picture, the extra octane takes your N1 to 1113Mhz. [...]

But we’re still impressed. He’s got a cute name and one speedy lil Droid. Tasmanian_droid, a forum user over at Alldroid, has overclocked his Droid’s 550MHz CPU to 1.3GHz. He’s reporting it to be 100% stable at 800MHz and is still pushing it further. He’s breaking records and recording it all using two different Android [...]
