## What it is
KonaBess is an Android application that lets users customize GPU frequency and voltage tables on various Snapdragon chips without recompiling the kernel. It works by unpacking the boot/vendor boot image, editing the device tree binary (dtb), and repacking and flashing the modified image.

## Use cases
- overclock the Adreno GPU on a Snapdragon 865
- undervolt a Snapdragon 888 to reduce power consumption
- edit GPU frequency and voltage tables without recompiling the kernel
- improve gaming performance on a rooted Android phone
- reduce heat and battery drain from the GPU
- flash a modified boot image with custom GPU clocks

## When to choose
- you have a supported Snapdragon device with root access
- you want to tune GPU frequency/voltage tables directly via dtb editing
- you want better GPU efficiency or performance without custom kernel development

## When to avoid
- your device is not on the supported Snapdragon list
- your device is not rooted or has a locked bootloader
- you are not comfortable flashing boot images and risking a brick
