The question is often, how to overclock and there is a bunch of thread on that, but what about "downclocking" ?
I was thinking of that to extend my battery life when using low CPU consumption programs. Is there a stable program that can be recommended (my processor is a Samsung SC32442 400MHz Processor) ?
Thank for your support !
I would also be interested in something like this. Also a program that could suspend different parts of the phone would be nice. I would really like a program that could shutdown the display when playing mp3s on the pda.

I just installed the latest kitchen build on a 6700 and notice there's a performance program in the settings section, that allows for overclocking the cpu. it has a couple warnings about damages and errors etc, however I'm curious what the experiences are using this. is it safe to run all the time or what? I tried it out a couple times and the phone seems twice as fast. Any info appreciated.
I use Pocket Hack Master v4.33 and I run at 624 all day and have been for a long lone time and never had any adverse effects.
I have used XCPUScaler and I never had a problem, for Xscale processors, from what I have researched, all the program does is change the frequency of the CPU controller, Ram controller, and LCD controller. I have also read that the more power that the Xscale processor is given, the higher the speed/frequency. Well enough tech talk, the only difference I have ever seen is that battery drain is a bit more when the cpu is overclocked, never has frozen on me running at 624Mhz. Good luck.
is there a tool like "battery status" to overcklock the touch pro? (and downclock when not used)
cauz the omap tab is not in batterystatus so i was wondering if there is some tools for this CPU
thx
up?
founded a small app that seems capable of overclocking the touch pro
but i actually don't know if it's working nor if it's a good idea: seems that the touch pro is so hot sometimes...
did someone tried the "overclock.exe" file i found on this forum?
We already have a 528 MHz processor on such a small device without any kind of active cooling. I don't know if that's such a good idea.
There is not only overclocking, but also underclocking..
Btw. winter is comming
yep indeed
btw i'm most interested by downclocking the CPU to save lot of battery (i was doing this on my old touch, and my battery was far fare better!)
but i don't know if the "overclock.exe" file is good or not cauz i didn't found a solution to know the CPU frequency
i'll take a look in the .net framework if there is something like this, and if yes i'll make a very small soft wich show in realtime the frequencie of the CPU
(again sorry for my bad english)
Just a little question, i have a x10 mini pro, and its processor runs at 600 Mhz.
Now with the Mini CM7 i can overclock it to 864 Mhz. So i've been testing it with 724 Mhz and my question is: if i set the maximum processor speed at 724 Mhz, and leave it like that permanently, would this affect my cellphone in some way?
What i'm trying to say is, if you set a maximum speed, it doesn't means that the processor is gonna be running at that speed all the time, just when is needed, for example in games so it won't increase noticeably the battery consumption if the phone is locked 85% of the time. Or it is actually draining more battery even if don't use it?
PS. (English is not my native language, so i'm sorry if the text is hard to undestand, tried my best to explain it well).
You do know the hazards of overclocking in general right? Unless you have the proper cooling, even on a cellphone you will eventually burn out the processor. That is the real issue you need to worry about, just because you can overclock does not mean that you should overclock.
I wouldn't overclock it to the max. That's just bad juju. Unless you plan on hooking up a perpetual ice pack to the phone as well. You'd do well to be a bit moderate.
And to answer your question, yes you will burn battery quicker.
Test at different speeds. If it runs stable, with no force closes, lock-ups, reboots, excess heat, etc., then you're good. You are correct, you are only setting the maximum. What your phone idles or runs at on will depend on what governor you are using, I recommend Smartass for good battery and performance balance, although I have been liking Smartass v2 lately. Obviously overclocking will affect battery life, but you will find that your choice of governor will make a huge difference too.
Well, thanks for the help, glad to see that there are people who are willing to help with small questions like this one. Keep the good job!
From looking at overclocking options for my pc, I've seen 3 possible things to overclock
1) the processor (cpu)
2) the graphics card (gpu)
3) the ram
Obviously we have done the first one, and recently started on overclocking options for the second one, but how come no one has tried overclocking the RAM in our phones? Is it even possible and would it be beneficial to performance? What about underclocking or undervolting the RAM as well to save battery?
Is this the one option we are missing or is it just not possible?
It's possible. But because most smartphones are SoC/SiP changing specific hardware options are pain in the ass. Most of the chip schematics are simply hard/impossible to get and thats the problem. How can you possibly tweak voltage or speed if you don't know much about chip itself?
What is overclocking?
Overclocking is the process of making a computer or component operate faster than the clock frequency specified by the manufacturer by modifying system parameters. One of the most important techniques is running at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second; hence the name "overclocking"), but other parameters, such as CPU multiplier and memory timings, can also be changed and would be considered to be overclocking. Operating voltages may also be changed (increased), which can increase the speed at which operation remains stable. Most overclocking techniques increase power consumption, generating more heat, which must be dispersed if the chip is to remain operational.
Advantage:
Higher performance in games, encoding, video editing applications, and system tasks at no additional expense, but with increased electrical power consumption. Overclocking can extend the useful life of older equipment. Adding noticible response time for multitasking and powerhungry applications and games.
Disadvantages:
Overclocking if it's not done with moderate rate can be very risky and potentialy might permanantly damage your device's hardware, plus it can cause a slight battery drain. If it's done correctly then you're good to proceed.
Undervolting :
Undervolting is reducing the voltage of a component, usually the processor, reducing the voltages of each step less than the original stock voltages.
Advantages:
Increase of Battery life.
The heat that come from the processor reduces.
Disadvantages:
Undervolting if it's applied correctly then it's good, Hard undervolting might make the device unstable and potentily will lead to bootloops and freezes.
CPU
Maximum clock that could be applied on The Galaxy S4 is XXXXmhz and the minimum is XXX mhz . I will add the stock clock values as soon as possible.
More to come asap !
SERIOUSLY?
A guide about overclocking when you don't even know what CPU the specific models will be getting?

I as well, think that this is a bit strange...

and probably the S600 version will not be OCable its already has throttling problem due overheating ( + its an OCed version of S4 pro )

jus sawed this guide tosee whats safe minimum voltage and other stuff! better to change title or a how to (i already know btw )
lol this is horrible! where's guide to udenervolt? i also underclaockd m cpu to 1GHZ that feels a lot lot colder and still freaking fast! even think more stable! also i wannt to underclaock the GPU too and also udnervolt it anyone knows how? i got i9500 octa
