Overclocked? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hey guys this is definitely a noob question and I hope I'm asking this in the right place, but I rooted my phone (super one click ) even overclocked to 1.25ghz, but what does that mean I know it's supposed to make the phone faster but what else? Sorry about my ignorance any insight would be appreciated.

Makes your phone faster, better performance on games and drains battery. I recomend you to at the most overclock it to 1.10 but you should get the bali voodoo kernel by drhonk and you wont need to overclock it.

Phone running slow

Seems like my captivate has alot of lag even this I have the one click lag fix. Any suggestions? Thanks

oclf is not needed. If you are running onix or speedmod you just have to go into clock work mod recovery and enable lag fix and battery mod and bam! Thats it! Look in development for more info on this.

Can I install this kernel through rom manager?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
You have a few options. You can install a rom with the kernel already added which to me is the easiest way. Just follow the instructions on the roms page. You could also place the kernel on the root of your sd and and use something like sgs kernel flasher from the market. It allows you to pick your kernel and flash it.
Look under development stickies and look for how to install a custom rom. It explains it better than I have. Also, backup all data and apps. Use titanium backup and look up how to do a nandroid backup before flashing.

I would suggest to stop using ROM Manager, as it sometimes causes issues with 2.2 and later ROMs.

no... rom manager causes problems with kernels that already have CWM built into the kernels (like all of the customs)
rom manager uses the update.zip method for cwm. which causes problems when cwm is already in the kernel.....
Newbie Question.

Have not used a custom Rom before, but I am also running stock with enhancement and OCLF but getting 1800 scores on quadrant...
What else have you done to your phone besides the purpleliscious or was this rom enough to get you to 2600???
And how is your battery life???
Thank you!

[Q] Questions/problems icbinb

Installed icbinb with theme and bali 3.3 wifi will randomly error when I turn on and freeze reboot fixes that and some widgets wont load audiogalaxy,catch,pandora to name a few.if anyone how to correct these issues please help. Thx in advance.
For the widgets, make sure they are on your phone and not the sd card. For the wifi, clear cache and fix permissions.

Doesn't Bali 3.3 come packed into ICBINB? Maybe you can try checking mounts, wiping data and cache, and reflash. This is coming from my past experience with ICBINB, I'm not assuring you a 100% fix, but it worked for me. Sorry if i couldn't be of much help.
Yea, I'm not sure why everyone is flashing 3.3 over icbinb. Lol.

I flashed 3.3 over the 3.3UV, cause I recalled UV lowering something. I don't wanna look through all those posts in the Bali thread, haha. Anyone wanna remind me on what it is?
UV under volts the power, basically. So you can oc more stably and it consumes less power.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
or it can be used as pretty sick power saver as undervolting the stock volage does not hurt the phone at all
Sorry, I meant that I recalled UV lowering something other than the voltage. It was something with the benchmarks. No way in hell I'm gonna look through those 95 pages of the Bali thread to find it, LOL! Anyone wanna enlighten me again?

Are you serious?!
Use the huge knowledge base xda forums provide! It's not too complex how overclocking works. I think you are too lazy to get on it.
I don't want to be mean, but if you think that's hard to handle with than I recommend to let your hands away from this kind of stuff.

I think those are as simple as the guides get to flashing and overclocking. If they're too complicated, then maybe you should consider not making any mods to your phone until you've read enough and feel confident.
The thing is, on tegrak overclock, when i change the level 0 to 1500/1400/1175, it closes and says testing stability. Then when i open tegrak again, nothing changes...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
You shouldn't really be making the jump from 1000 to 1500 right away as it is. Should be easing your way up. However as long as the phone vibrates and it says checking stability, then it's working.
I definitely agree with FBis251 here. You really don't need anything to be OC'd on this phone. If you don't understand how to OC, you should probably avoid it. However, If you're THAT eager to OC, just gradually bump up the GHz to whichever amount you want.
As for CWM, you'll definitely have to learn how to use it. Here's as simple as it can be said. I'm assuming you know how to get CWM properly, since your OP asks about CWM flashing.
1) Put the ROM you wish to flash in your SD card
2) Boot into CWM
3) Check mounts (UMMU) if you're on orange CWM; you don't need to check it if you're on red CWM
4) Select the ROM you wish to flash
Remember that not all ROMs have the same flashing instructions. While it's okay to be a slow learner, it's not okay to not read carefully here. Please read carefully and try not to clutter the forum with "OMG, I BRICKED" threads. There seems to be more and more these days.
Honestly, if you have trouble understanding these guides, you might want to just stick with whatever you have. Flashing is usually more difficult than just what I mentioned up there. Btw, if you didn't understand how to use CWM, how did you even get KH2 Deodexed?
Sorry if this post made me sound mean, but I just wanted to make it clear for you.
Im on Kf2. not kh2. ahahhaha. And that one was via odin. I wanna learn how to cwm flash so i can use the kh1 or 2. . thanks for the posts guys. Although i dont get it, im constantly reading it over and over again ahahaha.

As far as I remember, and I may be wrong at this point, but you can't use flash Bali 3.3 on KH1 or KH2. If you want to flash to KH1 or KH2, then I'd suggest following the steps in this thread.

Um I went to recovery and advanced and didn't see the option. My recovery is green and then it switched over to a red one and said voodoo. It happened after I selected "key test" and hit the back button. Also I selected the "reboot in download mode" or something like that and a screen came up saying downloading don't shut off. Well it got stuck so I shut it off haha. But nothing bad happened. Anyways I don't know if I have the option. :/

I suggest flashing the Defuse 1.4 kernel - it doesn't do overclocking but it's solid and stable. Don't flash 1.5 - it has BLN too.
Every attempt to implement BLN on our phones has led to flakiness and instability.
Other option - upgrade to Gingerbread, that's where all the kernel development is these days.

Hey guys I just opened up SetCPU and the voltage tab went away and so did the overclocking. This happened right after I flashed Infused rom anyone know why? Should I just flash the Kernel over top? I mean I was trying to avoid that because of the bin issue

Defuse isn't an overclock kernel. You have a choice of overclocking with some instability, or stability without overclocking.
