How To: Overclock Your Droid, Possibly To Death

Droid draggin ’ ? Apps crawlin ’ ? Android creepin ’ ? Then maybe you should overclock your Droid to 1.1GHz , like this guy ! But really no , do n’t .

The boys at AllDroid have figured out how to overclock the Droid ’s ARM Cortex A8 , normally time at 550 MHz , to 1.1GHz . That ’s twice the frequency , in case you ’re comically terrible at maths , which ca n’t be safe on a processor with no combat-ready cooling , stuffed into a metal earpiece . But whatever , it ’s the joy of the hunt , right ? Or something?Here‘s how you may try it ; it ’s a somewhat involved process , so do n’t even prove unless you ’re already intimate with rooting , overclocking , and bricking the Irish bull out of phones for questionable reasons .

The AllDroid guys seem to have settle on 800MHz as a good , cool , stable frequency , and 1.1GHz as a rough top last ; past that , I imagine things get too crashy to be fun . [ AllDroidviaMobileCrunch ]
