Default Xperia x8 overclock problem

Hi there,
I installed 4 modules: fix mddi, undervolt, dual touch, and faster wifi.
I decided to overclock my phone and it seems to be slowing down my phone rather than what it says by speeding it up.
Could it be because i am on semc stock kernel?

After some frequencies it happens to slow...its stock kernel fault.

The OC module has a problem in that when the module is activated it will underclock (correct me if I am wrong) if the OC frequency set is too low (abt 600MHz to 691MHz). Just don't set the OC frequency too low or stop using x8oc.

Actually nAa does a better job in that.
Maximum frq in alfs is 806 but in nAa 825 is available too

I just read dx's thread as i was interested in undervolting. x8oc.ko will only undervolt once your frequency goes below 600mhz.

@ftwisawesome: are you using "smartass" governor? Try switching to ondemand to check if it slows your phone like you said. And i believe you don't need to undervolt as spyder said it's already built in the oc module. (You are using x8oc.ko, right?)

Oh gosh I said UNDERCLOCK, not UNDERVOLT. The 2 are different and what I meant is that if you insmod x8oc and set it to, say, 600MHz, it will not really clock at 600MHz, it will clock at a lower speed.

Oh, my bad. Sorry about that.
No idea adt the underclock thing, but it does seem that way (ie: cpu set at "600mhz" using module really seems slower than 600mhz before applying it).
Really sorry man..

Change the governor to "performance" and watch if it happens again.
