[Q] overclock and safe freeze apps

---

after rooting the photon, does anyone tried overclocking cpu? what are the safe range for it? and when i freeze all the apps that i don't need on the phone with titanium back up, what apps are safe the freeze/delete and what are the apps are not safe to do so?

I don't think you can overclock the Photon until you flash a custom kernel. The stock kernel does not have the necessary changes to account for the different overclock and underclock frequencies.

However to flash a custom kernel the bootloader needs to be unlocked which it is not currently. Until the bootloader is unlocked, there is little luck in overclocking the Photon.

really? oh man i thought i'd have a chance since evo 3D was overclocked before the bootloader unlocked (evo 3d still hasn't been unlocked doesn't it?)
then what apps are the safe to freeze? and what is the name of the mopho's UI so i can freeze it? i heard it is possible to freeze it....

Check out this article and scroll to the bottom. It looks like a developer coolbho3000 (also was responsible for the overclock capability on the Moto Xoom which is a Tegra 2 chip) wrote his own custom kernel module to overclock it. This is why the HTC Evo 3D is able to be overclocked.

Maybe we need to seend coolbho3000 a Photon so he can quickly write up a custom kernel module for the Photon. Should be easy since its a Tegra 2 and got it to work on the Motorola Xoom.

HTC is taking far too long with their promised bootloader unlock! I got my hands on an EVO 3D and wrote a kernel module to overclock it (along with the Sensation, I think) with just temp root. I had no kernel sources or the ability to flash custom kernels, and you don’t need to overclock your phone, either. This was all done with a Linux loadable kernel module.
