Can I overclock my Bionic?

How do you do that?

One would need to modify the milestone overclock sources against the bionic kernel sources. I would be willing to give it a go but would need a bionic for testing, the source would likely need to be highly modified being the bionic is dual core.
I have no interest in purchasing a bionic since the bootloader is locked (no kernel upgrades).

What if someone gave u all the files u need on a stock bionic... and did testing for u?

That would likely work but testing would be to slow (waiting for test subjects to let me know yes/no and why takes a certain amount of development skills most do not possess), I may take a look at the bionic kernel sources and gauge the difficulty level of working without a test device on hand.

I have no qualms about sharing source, I would be wary running code from 'untrusted' sources as well. Continue your hacking, it is very difficult to do this type of work without physically having the device.
I think perhaps it will be impossible without help.

Hey Prime,
Happy Holidays. And I do hope you have a much less stressful Holiday season this year. It would have been nice to see what you could have done with the Bionic, but I think I can guess where you are headed. Must be kinda exciting to anticipate where you can take a dual core phone with your skillset. I am very happy with my Bionic, but I knew it would never be like the good old days. I guess I will have to keep on the Nexus phone, just to see how much fun you all are going to have. The D1 needed folks like you to even have a reasonably functional phone. The Rom makers (and app dev's) needed you. Now you will be starting out ahead of them, and they will be playing catch-up;^)

I was saying I will help but need help since I don't have a bionic.
CRAIG! I was wondering where you went mate.
I am happy to assist in getting the overclock module to function on the bionic, I wish I had a loaner as I'm relatively sure it can be done but unsure if I can do it without the device.
I looked at downloading the bionic sources last night (wee hours this morning actually) but was tuckered out.

Prime,
Still here, and digging my Bionic. I just saw the thread on XDA with the D3 Overclock hacking, and it does look like someone has taken the time to tear into the spec. tech sheet for our Omap, and is having some luck. Interesting read, as it looks like a re-creation of the attempt to map and modify the frequency tables and such. Brings back great memories....Looks like similar attempts in Setcpu to use the program, with the limitations that Setcpu does not behave 100% with the newer phones. I even unistalled Setcpu from my phone because it looked like a deadend game, and why have the overhead running? It sure was nice being able to hack away without necessarily needing concurrent app support.
I downloaded the files that the folks are using, but they appear to be empty files, or need Linux to see what they are doing, but it looks like one guy has found the frequency addresses, but perhaps not yet the voltage locations. And one guy is using tasker to make the mod's persisit after boot. All sounding pretty familiar.
I am only slightly hacked with my Bionic. I am sitting with the stock radio and webtop, awaiting the final "official" OTA to get hacked, then I plan on going nuts again. The dual boot hack looks pretty darn interesting, and might provide one additional layer of safety for folks wanting to get this working and persisitant. I am going to be gone for a couple of weeks in a week, so probably not much help here, but if there is anything I can do to help, I am game.
Be well,
Craig
