I just saw that SGS 2 was overclocked to 1.5 GHz Dual-Core. So, can Desire S be overclocked after Root? It has the Qualcomm MSM 8255 (same as Desire HD, Incredible S, Xperia Neo nd Arc). My frnd told me he overclocked his DHD to 1.8 GHz . So is this possible
download setCPU from market or forum and tell us
But that would be a major battery drainer
Yeah overkill on battery life, as if 1ghz is not smooth enough to run most apps and short on battery juice already.
And setcpu alone will not overclock the CPU, you need to install a custom kernel that allows it.

thnx for the info guys, bt, i'm not rooted already so no setCPU. Sadly, my phone is S-On. Also, explain kernels.(or at least give a link to a page)

well i was doing some searching and what i found was kind of promising. pantech released a phone with the same dula core qualcomm chipset and its called the sky vega racer. the phone is blazing fast so lets hope we get root soon and can get these babies oc and running to true potential
When we have root, we can do just about anything (G2/DZ was overclocked to 1.8 or even 1.9 GHz)
I am currently using Mike1986's 3.6.7 ROM and Kernel clocked my standard Sensation 4G from 1.211 Ghz (stock) to 1.566Ghz and it is running with out any issues. With Antutu Benchmark at stock 1.2Ghz i was doing around 4200 with it at 1.566Ghz best i was able to benchmark was 5992. Worth it.

Holy necro, Batman.
I have cyanogenmod 7 rom installed along with leedroid kernel and one of the two has an overclock kernel, i use setcpu to overclock up to 1.7ghz. i use cpu gauge to monitor the core clocks, but no matter what i have the cpu clocked at the cpu gauge always says core 2 is offline, i have used other CPU monitoring apps also and they always say the same thing. Why is the second core not working?
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
I think system tuner is the only one that's able to read second core performance. Could be wrong though. Also, isn't the LeeDROiD kernel for Sense ROMs? Why don't you put something like Bricked's AOSP kernel in there instead? Might help ya out.
Hey thanks alot, ill give it a try.I only used leedroid because it was the first one that has worked for getting rid of all the bloat. Ill try the bricked though

I'm on insertcoin 4.6.1. With sebestians kernel and I'm using setcpu to 1.6 MHz and I read it turns on both cores, will running both damage my phone?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Don't think so, will most likely just drain power quicker.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
Running both cores would heat the phone up even more since you're running two cores. Also our cores are asynchronous so it isn't in their "nature" to run simultaneously. So I wouldn't recommend it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
setcpu does run both cores. I noticed when i flashed a new higher kernel and im running full max on cpu my phone over heats. I also did a benchmark test on max and it resetted my sensation. When i set the kernel cpu lower other than max not only did i get better test results but i had no reboots or lags on the rom.. and thats on setcpu
I agree its unnecessary. I get a bunch of fc's then reboots start as my cpu overheats and cuts out.
So what cpu tool do you recommend? I'm also using SetCpu.

System Tuner Pro. I've found this the only tool that makes boot settings stick when running ics.
I agree. I use Rom toolbox myself with sdbooster and. I set my CPU on Rom and boost my sd card up. Play around with it and do some antutu benchmarks..good luck.

Also, you're running ICS, which is optimised for dual core performance, so leaving our cores the way it is should, be just fine.
can someone please help me with how to speed up my cpu speed? im new to flashing roms and i just flashed the android revolution hd 6.6.5 with beats audio but my ghz still says 1.2??? is there a app/tool i need to speed it up?? sorry for the noobie question!!!

Overclocking implies increasing the CPU clock speed (more cycles per second).
Overclocking helps increase performance my overloading the processor thus, everything runs faster.
This can however cause phone hardware to ware out faster and cause overheating problems also.
our cpu can handle 1.5 ghz of clock speed. by default is set at 1.2.
the overclock is speed up the cpu above the maximum speed (es 1.7, the maximum stable clock we reached IMHO)
obviously high speed means less the battery, more heating and you risk to damage the cpu, because the frequency is above the max. limit
I personally keep it at 1.2ghz for daily use and at 1.5ghz for gaming, you should find you settings...
take a look to the governors, too. they are very important to control your device's response and speed. search for a specific guide to understand better
thanx allot to the both of you!!! helped me out heaps. Ill play around with it

Not too much. 1.2-1.6 is the safe range at most lower 1.7
Don't use an app.Do it naturally with a kernel use a faux v006.

ok can u post a link so i can download??? thanx
Make sure the kernel is compatiable with your Rom and firmware! You can find then either in Android development, or themes and apps. Try development first. Good luck! remember over clocking can be more of a battery drain, just so you are aware of that. Have fun!

Google faux kernels and you will find them o.k.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
I would not recommend using setCpu it will not give u the best performance.
Use a kernel which is already overclocked and it will be much better. I recommend faux or bricked with that rom.

Hello,everyone....recently I overclock my desire s and thanks to many of you I received many useful information so I want to share impression how overclocking has improved performance and battery to help other like us to know what and how to use overclocking and governor....
So I start ....
I use Viper saga with tweaked kernel 3.x/ondemand with deadline/cpu min.245-max.1410
I noticed that my graphic is very good and everything works like a charm....for example in FIFA12 I noticed that even the shadow of all player are so intense and everything is so clear,it seems that improves my graphic and my phone is faster..I hope that overclocking to 1410 to not damaged my phone.So what configuration do you have ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Set the governor to performance. Battery eater though. But u only can choose better battery life or smoother graphics, so make up ur mind and choose one :thumbup:
When playing with overclocking unstick 'set on boot'. So that it goes back to normal once reboot in case of any freeze. Overclock it based on ur desired value, experiment with it, slowly. increase the value step by step. Leave it for a day then increase again. If it freezes then u know ur phone's limit.

i have read that people say it's stable up to 1.5 GHz.
I have set mine to 1.3GHz to be on the safe side.
And set it to,on demand,so it only takes up more when it needs to.
setting it up to high speeds can result in a melt down,draining batteries and will shorten out the life of your phone even when stable for a couple of days so be aware of what your doing...
there is no best value for everyone, some say 1ghz is enough, some say 1.5 ghz is not enough.
so it depends on what you need, its a trial and error thing
u will get a fast response phone but battery life is sucs ... cant complain though
LOL? :what: how many threads must u made to ask a question? answer can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092673:D

Never a good idea to overclock CPU more than 1.5 GHZ . That is the maximum stable frequency for our processor.
I use my phone at 1.2 GHZ.

for example when I play a game to switch automatically to my desire frequency and governor?Now I have Cpu master but unfortunately i don't have more option for profile ....and is it possible to set frequency to 1300Mhz ?

If you want separate screen on/screen off profiles, I would recommend daemon controller app (with andrev_oc installed through the app).
If you want more profiles for different situations, setcpu is probably the only real option.
Setting to 1.3 GHz depends on the kernel you're using, not on the app.
