1.6 oc stable!!!

WARNING: I AM NO RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU HAVE CAUSED YOUR PHONE!!!
OC CAN BE DANGEROUS FOR THE CPU, EVERYONE KNOWS THIS AND IF YOU DONT YOU DO NOW
Ok some people will find this useful and some might not care for it, but i wanted to post this to help those who like to OC there android or in this case the SGS4G.
NEW DIRECTIONS:
what you'll need:
any sgs4g rom that supports drhonks bali 3.0 or higher
bali 3.0 or higher
IM NOT POSITIVE but you possibly need ext4 on ALL partitions
tegrak ultimate
im pretty sure drhonks kernel is what made the OC stable at higher frequencies so definitely thank him for that
its simple after you have the rom and bali 3.0 or 3.1 installed the phone will be stable at a higher frequency
so far the highest frequency ive been to is 1620 and it was very stable with the voltages at 1400 and 1200
OLD DIRECTIONS:What you will need:
fugu Tweaks which can be found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981125)
DRHONKS UV KERNEL
TEGRAK OC PAID VERSION!!!
NO SETCPU OR ANY OTHER PROGRAM LIKE IT, TEGRAK COMES WITH SCALING OPTION!!!
ok so now that you have what you need its time to push that puppy up a notch!!!
Make sure you the fugu tweaks are installed and working.
then go into Tegrak OC and use the following options for a 1.5 OC:
go into optimization option and edit CPU level 0 ONLY!!!(unless you dont have DRHONKS UV KERNEL you can change all the other levels by -25 core voltage)
Assuming you have the kernel go into CPU LEVEL 0 and change the 1000 to 1504 or 1500 it doesnt matter,
after that has been changed, change your core voltage to 1400 and your internal voltage to 1175. Last thing you need to do is make sure you scaling option in tegrak is set to conservative with 200 as your lowest frequency not 100 or else it might crash while in sleep mode.
THATS IT!!!
if you want to OC but not so high try optimizing things step by step and see what frequencies are best with what voltages.
1.4 OC settings are as followed
level 0 1000 to 1400, core voltage is 1325 and internal is 1150
1.3 OC settings are as followed
Level 0 1000 to 1300, core voltage is 1300 and internal 1125
1.2 OC settings are as followed
level 0 1000 to 1200, core voltage 1225 internal 1100
(also to improve smoothness even more try adding spare parts and blade buddy)
hope this helps!!
THANKS TO:
TEGRAK for his amazing app
NIKADEMUS for FUGU tweak
DRHONK for his amazingness in general and making the fugu tweaks known also for his kernel!
Chadster: i think you posted something on fugu tweaks as well lol
Fatherof4 for confirming that my methods work besides on my phone

can you post quadrant scores i dont have the tegrak paid version but just want to see what this puppy can do

im having problems with uploading my screenshots at the moment, maybe fatherof4 can do it or ill fix it
but im reaching 1300's in quadrant and fatherof4 was reporting the same scores after OC sooo

I get 1300+ quadrant @ 1.4 haven't tested @ 1.5, will have to do that soon

How is your battery life?
How is your battery life after the OC 1.5? Also, does it make a substantial difference in speed of the UI? What advantages have you seen with overclocking your device to 1.5 ghz? I'm just checking before I try it out. Thank you.

I only went to 1.5 for the test. I've been at 1.4 for about 2 weeks. 1325/1150 and the rest core voltages underclocked by 25 except 100mhz I use setcpu for profile options and have it set to throttle down to 400/200 when screen is off. I also am using chainfire 3D.
I get 20 plus hours heavy usage.

Could some1 explain the plus and minus of OC? Would be much appreciated. Wouldn't this also generate more heat?

When i first got the phone and there wasnt much development on it and I OC it, the phone would get all the way to 50C
Now with the tweaks, mods, kernel even when i run my phone on heavy use playing the game Modern Combat 2 Black Pegasus it doesnt even get to 50C on the 1.5 OC
the battery life takes a SLIGHT TOLL
i still average 20 to 30 hours on my phone with 1.5 and no charge, that is also with a pretty heavy use:
on xda, twitter, facebook, email, internet, texts, games and this is non stop all day soooooo even with the OC
ALL I SEE ARE ADVANTAGES

How the heck do you get 20-30 hours heavy usage with it overclocked? I have mine with bali kernel UV not overclocked and I get maybe 10-15 hours moderate to heavy use

Have you calibrated your battery correctly, my battery has been precisely calibrated lol
Seriously though my phone lasts forever and I run a 1.5 oc with UV kernel
Freshness!

I would have to agree that battery life has drastically improved due to the Bali kernel. So my next question would be is it worth it to OC versus loss of battery life or is the loss so slight that its worth sacrificing for better performance? I do have to say its pretty smooth already.

Best OC/UV App?

What do you think is the best OC/UV app ? If so can you also post the recommendations ? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

There's been thousands of posts, not sure of threads, in the forum regarding this.
Tegrak OC seems to be the most popular though. Most tend to stay away from SetCPU.
I personally never OC or UV. I find that my speed and battery life are perfectly acceptable.

Yeah tegrak seems to be what everyone uses. I stay away from OCing though because i don't really see the purpose of OCing just for browsing the web, text messaging, Facebook, twitter, and YouTube. The phones really smooth already. I'm probably going to UV though to get a little better battery life.

You can't oc with set CPU without an overclock kernel

Tegrak Ultimate since it allows OC/UV with a kernel module as opposed to requiring a OC/UV kernel.

For this phone tegrak is the best with the most control paid version is well worth it
at first this phone relied on overclocking but months later it is no longer needed imo, i just stay at 1000 mhz stock with undervolting and my phone feels as smooth as a 1.2 thank you gingerbread lol
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

I use tegraq (paid) version to UC.. everything is so smooth now, the UC gives battery life and my quadscore is still in the 2500 range.

TegraK
Hi,
I'm interested only in UV, since my phone is super fast with Valhalla 1.1 ROM
and Adrenaline Shot X, but i drain my battery every day!
can you please explain -
1. can i undervolt using the free edition of tegrak ?
2. do i need to replace the kernel or can i work with tegrak app out of the box?
i didn't get that.
Thanks !

Well I just downloaded Taegrak ultimate, but it seems like my values will never stay ! I tried setting my CPU Lv 0 to 1000,1165,1055 but it'll always revert back to normal. Sometimes I'll catch a glimpse of "Targrak has unexpectedly.."

Kernal voltages?

I'm sorry for the noob question but I really don't understand voltage terms and what's it for and how it work I was wandering if anyone could explain it to me?
In the past I would use set CPU and create a few profiles and would be done with it but I been reading on the forums about setting voltages higher and lower for better performance.
Currently i'm on eagles blood 2.3.5 ROM, trinity t15 (fun) kernel.
Any help would be much appreciated.

It's to save power and get better battery life. You lower the amount of power the chip gets at various clockspeeds until it starts not working correctly, then back up to a voltage at which the chip is stable at that clockspeed. Some chips can handle lower voltages than others while still working correctly.
Overclocking = get better performance
Undervolting = get better battery life
Both can lead to phone instability if you set the values to extremes.

Thank you for the info

It all depends on the kernel your using and if it supports UV, it should say if it does in the name of the kernel tho(just look for uv ) Setcpu 2.2.4 will allow you to change voltages only if your kernel/rom support it.
you can safely undervolt -50 -75 at most all the way up to 1.0ghz-1.1ghz i wouldn't undervolt past that.

So what your saying is I can use setcpu to change the voltage?I just recently changed kernels I saw that option available but I didn't understand how to use it.under voltages it shows all the GHz underneath it it shows 0.From here what do I do?, do I go too each GHz profile and -50 from all of it?

[Q] Overclocking

Ok so i was wondering if overclocking this phone is a good idea? i am probably gonna use about 8-900 mhz anywayz. I know its not the most expensive device out there but still its pretty expensive for me xD. So i was wondering if the overclocking it would effect the phone in some way.
thx

I don't feel it really speeds up the phone too much and if you compared a phone with 900 MHz processor as standard with our phone overclocked to 900 MHz processor, the standard 900 MHz processor would be a lot faster. I hope this makes sense. I didn't explain it very well.
For example, compare a HTC desire to our phone overclocked to 1 GHz. The HTC would still be a million times faster.
Anyway, a non-overclocked phone is still quite smooth and i have no problems with it. If you want to overclock, you will get a nice little boost but not a really big boost.

You should set your main profile to max of 800 as its the safest for your cpu although i overclock to 1366/1400 when im gaming . Its faster than not overclocking(for daily usage for me not sure abt other people)

You can look under the index list for the kernel threads of fugumod ultra(OC to 1366) or the official fugumod thread(can OC to 800Mhz) or the G3mod thread(OC to 1200Mhz)

Good CPU voltages?

I recently got faux's kernel for GB and I'm wondering what voltages I should use in SetCPU or PimpMyCPU for optimum battery life and performance.
Sent from my G2X

Every phone is different some can handle extreme uving others can't even boot the phone after flashing the kernel. You have to just try and test until you find something stable and up to your needs.

I have no experience with cpu overclocking so I really don't know what it means like a -100mv undervolt @1.4 GHZ. Would I get the same performance but use less power??
