How To Overclock LG Optimus L3 E400 Cyanogenmod 9

OverClock Your LG L3 E400 Custom Kernel 

[ Root Required ]





LG Optimus L3 E400 is a great affordable budget android device. We have seen how to root this great device and even saw how to install CM9 Custom ROM on L3.

This device has a great 832Mhz CPU and Adreno 200 GPU. This kernel update is for those who have installed CM9 in their LG l3 E400. This kernel update will allow you to overclock the cpu to a maximum 1.1GHz clock speed. It also stabilizes the Adreno GPU. It also supports zram, swap, USB fix, Camera Fix etc.

Warning:

  • Please Read the steps carefully and execute them exactly as said here.
  • The device for installation Must Be Rooted - Check This : Root LG L3 E400
  • You must have Cyanogenmod 9 installed- Check this: Install CM9 in LG L3 E400
  • We aren't Responsiblie for any damage occurred to your device. Do at your own risk
  • This method is tested and working fine in CM9 L3



Downloads:


Overclock_ Kernel


How To Install:

  • Download the above kernel.zip file

  • Copy the zip file to your SD card.
  • Next you have to reboot your phone

  • Enter CWM recovery mode

  •  select "install zip from sd card" and select the kernel file. ( No need to wipe anything; cache, dalvik...etc)

  • Reboot your device and Its done!


Install any CPU overclock  app from the playstore, and you are ready to overclock your LG L3 E400.
I prefer SetCPU/No Frills CPU. You can choose any you like.

Note: Don't jump the clock setting by a large margin, move the slider bit by bit and check whether its stable. It has few problem like restarting when clocked above 1 GHz.

  4. Thanks a lot.
    My Lg L3 E400 clocked at 965MHz and is really stable.

    Huge improvement in gaming. I tried to clock even higher and reach 1 GHz, but immediately restated, although in article it is said that restarting problem after 1 GHz . I don't actually care right now.

    one more. Can i increase my ram using this kernel????
    any scripts available for it, it will really be a great help.

    any way thanks

  5. @ aditya,

    i have tested this kernel on my LG L3 E400 ( CM9 ) and is working fine.( this works only for CM9 ROMs

    i even overclocked my device to 1075MHz and was working fine. I am not clear why Rayman can't reach 1GHz. Strange!

    One problem at such clock was that the device battery depleted faster ( much faster----No need to worry you will get plenty of time to do your gaming and tasks.)

  6. @ Aditya,

    Some devices have experienced the blurry screen issue. But a suitable fix has been released also. i have provided in fix link in source page comment box- CM9 lg l3.

    i didn't had the blurry screen, so did najia, rein, and many others who have tried it.

    it isn't much common as you think.
