Hi, I'm looking for a method to overclock Android using only the smaller cores—specifically targeting the two cores at 2.3GHz and doubling them down to around 1.9GHz while ignoring the other cores. Would that be possible? Thanks!

To perform tasks like that, the phone usually needs to be rooted initially. After that, apps from the play store for boosting CPU speeds, etc., should allow adjustments. However, many phones struggle with overclocking, and the additional heat can harm them and drain the battery.

as previously discussed, you'd need to root your phone for overclocking, though I question if there are sophisticated apps that let you root just certain cores. Rooting gives you the freedom to experiment with things like RAM management.
