Overclock

[thealex160]

Hello!

Where is the location of the config.txt? Looking to overclock the PI a bit.
Great job on the OS! Very happy with it, thanks!

[thealex160]

Having actually located the config.txt, it does not contain any obvious cpu/gpu speed info like it normally does on Pi. Can it be added, or does chromium os need a different code/use a different file for this?

we have not tested overclocking, but you can try

@thealex160 where is located config.txt?

@fydeos-alpha does the config.txt support the normal Pi settings: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/ ?

@h0rn3t I managed to find instructions here on how to locate and edit the config.txt and cmdline.txt files. #109

I will test overclocking of my Pi 4B. I had to add usbhid.mousepoll=12 to cmdline.txt to improve mouse cursor speed and it works. So I can only assume overclocking in config.txt would work as well.

@Heclalava does overclocking work?

@fydeos-alpha yes it does, but without the ability to root the Android subsystem I gave up on this OS a long time ago. It's like trying to use Linux without sudo.

ummm… Please (kindly) Read the manual 😬

Maybe now, but at the time 3 yeas ago, I couldn't get it rooted.

I realize there was a substantial change to the security model for fydeos and your comment was about dealing with that older model. Sorry about that.

I stumbled down this path and found what I needed so hopefully someone else looking for the same can gain root and lock things down for themselves.

mount -o remount rw / (as root) from the fydeos console (not the android subsystem like I previously linked to sorry 😅)

then passwd root etc and it should commit the change to root’s credentials giving you the full control over your system that a real user deserves. Without it, you’re absolutely right — fortunately there’s an obscure path to victory here.

Hope this helps. Sorry again
