I use it on my GNex also and would use it on my N7 if it was OC'ed. :crying:

What reason do you need overclocking? If its just to get higher benchmarks then you don't need it. Can't speak for Franco but I would bet that is why he is not including it. The device runs just fine at the 1.2/1.3 stock clocks with stock kernel. Will run better at same clocks with a faster custom kernel.

UV does almost nothing on Tegra 3 on the HOX, I dont really see a reason.

Ive noticed the cpu is a little cooler, not much gain really, still a slight gain though. I suppose it all depends on what you're default voltages are for you're kernel, maybe?
When i was running moteley the other week, i think i was running 1.3ghz @980mv wich was about -125mv wich did keep my device noticeably cooler when gaming.

Not familiar with how to flash things with bootloaders. Could someone give a step by step guide? Used the vibrant and s3 so I'm used to just flashing with cwm. But wud love to learn how to flash things in bootloaders. Thx

    Disclaimer to moderators:
    Slight OT is fine, but when users decide to act stupid they should be dealt with with the appropriate means - its really annoying for me when OT turns crazy. Please put the warning/ban hammer anytime any of you think there's lack of respect and/or too much unwanted OT crap - but if it doesn't meet this criteria let the OT posts alone. Thank you.

    Cheers!

    Fsync toggle:

    It's disabled by default. Enabled = stock IO speed while having data integrity; disabled = more IO throughput but less data integrity

    echo Y > /sys/module/sync/parameters/fsync_enabled (N to disable and Y to enable)

    GPU clock interface:

    To check the current GPU frequency:
    cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_oc

    To change it:
    echo X > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_oc (change the X with your desired value. Should work up to 750Mhz at least, beyond that is pure madness)

    r62 - Where is the lag?
    * 99% rework of the Hotplug driver. Cores are intelligently managed. Always 2 cores are online to diminish thread migration and all the intrinsic operations that are inherent of onlining and offlining cores. If the load is high enough the other 2 cores come online
    * Custom changes to interactive that now reacts a bit better and more intelligently to load changes, specially during big load, which will majorly improve gaming performance
    * Interactive tunables are scaled from the Hotplug driver based on either there are 2 or 4 cores online. If there are 2 online it uses the normal tunables, if there are 4 they get tuned for maximum performance
    * Merge all the work from the usual suspects, which contains the special partition mounts
    * Bunch of other custom patches and other patches from upstream to improve IO handling
    * No more Youtube lag as far as I know

    By the way I think I fixed that bug where the device could be stuck in a lower frequency (I think that was the problem AFAIK) and driver it unusable unless rebooting. Let me know if thats fixed, which I tried to fix anyway.

    Just pushed r48. Re-merged original hotplug driver and changed just a few lines to make it a little bit lighter. Should give a little extra power now. Also fixed the UV interface, you won't be able to input more than 600mV. Merged a few changes from upstream too. Hotplug options from my app will be gone with this driver change. Also it won't be dual-core minimum by default, will hotplug normally. I plan to re-add the options to change the hotplug parameters sometime in the future.

    Happy new year folks, time for r77!!

    * Merged interactive governor improvements from FK for N5
    * Merged Hotplug driver improvements from FK for N5
    * Merged touchboost generic driver from FK for N5
    * Other misc patches merged from upstream
    * Added CM11 support

    Thanks to osm0sis who kindly sent me the correct ramdisk changes for this release. Hope you enjoy this.
