Zio Overclocking Question

---

Well iv had my Zio for a few months now and even with the 2.2 Update sometimes it seems to slow down and stutter.

I have been doing some research on Rooting my phone to get wifi tethering and the ability overclock my phone for better performance.

Now so far the Zio community on here seems to be very small so i dont expect an answer very fast so here is my question.

Has anyone with a Zio Managed to root there phone and overclock it? im not talking about some CRAZY overclock. im thinking in the 50-100MHz range. if so how has the performance increased? or has the performance Decreased? how is the battery life?

I have attempted such by manually editing some CPU files. I was able to successfully adjust the governor and changed from the stock 95% to 100% CPU threashold.

So far I would say its a little faster. I definitely see a difference when opening apps and especially with the 2.3 launcher from the market.

Could you list where the CPU files are located m8?

If your phone is rooted you can use a number of overclock apps, but they use parameters based on te phone the zip is 122.88 to 600 mhz

CPU files are located within the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ directory

@matrix

What were your exact editing lines? I forgot which thread it was where you answered this question before.

I basically changed the governor to performance and threashold too 100. Actually overclocking the ZIO is giving me trouble when I try to go higher than 600000

Correction. Governor must be set to on demand to edit the threashold.

You wont be able to get true over clocking until theres been kernel source released. Has that happened yet? New to this device.

If so, and someone is willing to do something with adb, I can work on getting an overclock kernel for you guys, but I wont be able to test it myself so it could be a bit dangerous.
