Hello all,
I just flashed the latest Oxygen on my i9023. I noticed some good improvement when I set the max clock speed to 1200 or even 1400. Thing is, I want to use this phone for atleast the next 1.5 years and so don't want to wear the processor or something.
I have not suffered any problems or reboots even while running at 1400. Any advice on the safety of overclocking? Also, how do I know if this is overvolted?
Thanks
On the overvolting/undervolting thing, you might wanna give proton voltage control a try. it's developed by xda member jonathon grigg and you can find it on the market. From the app you can see what the stock values are as well as over/undervolt yourself.
can't help you with the overclocking bit though sorry
I wouldn't worry to much unless the phone gets extremely hot or shuts down alot.

Guys, look that...it seems to be nice...I installed and im still testing...Some users said this app helps to increase the battery life in almost 25%....I liked the UI also, is very very nice...
Im going to test...

Need to change...By the way...I notice the phone become a quiet slow with this app...
same here, I cannot change settings, however, I do not find apps running slower or the whole sys response got worse
There is no way a cpu tweak can save you anywhere near 25% ...
The screen uses about 80-95% of the battery even with a 1.2ghz overclock cpu doesn't make near that much of a difference...

It's funny because I thought the screen was a new technology super battery-saver lol and it's clearly not
However, the Wave who have 0.7 smaller screen but the same technology have a battery like 3x times better.
the difference? the os. I'm pretty sure the problem comes from the Android and nothing else.
I would second android being the culprit....considering most of us are running leaked 2.2 battery management has not been fully implemented. I had great battery life on jh3 and jh7...... but I would never go back to eclair to get better battery life. The epic is starting to get.official froyo and I read that Canada should start seeing froyo this week......all we need is for att to get on the ball and Samsung to release their source code

hey guys,
does anyone have an older version of this app. It used to work great for me, but with the latest updates it has not performed as well.
thanks.
Actually the 1.0.1 version is really good. Here is a guide how to use it:

I haven't tried it yet. But if I understand what it is by the name I don't think it will help that much. Android OS already changes frequency based upon usage. You can see these percentages in the Android System Information app. For example, mine reads as follows:
1000.0 MHz 3.19%
800.0 MHz 6.49%
400.0 MHz 5.5%
200.0 MHz 9.58%
100.0 MHz 75.13%
Hi guys,
I'm new to android (coming from an iPhone 4 - zero regrets).
I just have a few questions about my Nexus S if anyone's willing to answer me:
I installed the latest NSCollab (1.0.21) on my NS and I was wondering what the benefits of overclocking with the cm7 performance settings are?
I'm not worrying about battery life as I carry around 2 extra batteries.
Can I leave it set to min 100 and max 1400 at all times? Is there anything else I should be modifying?
Here are my specs for more info:
Nexus S i9020A Fido
Rom: NSCollab 1.0.21
Kernel: Netarchy 1.3.0.2
Radio: KB3
Also, I had the KB2 Radio and I just flashed KB3 when I updated my rom today. I haven't really noticed any changes from KB2. Is there any way to verify?
I'm glad to be part of the awesome Android universe! I just love my NS.
Thanks in advance!

Well for starters it will make your phone feel faster. Scratch that...it WILL be faster. It doesn't seriously affect your battery life, but that's just me. I usually get through the day with just over 30% left by 9pm.
Now about overclocking...I'd be careful with how much you overclock; depending on your phone and your luck, you may be one of the lucky ones that can overclock to 1.4ghz, with stability. To my knowledge, not a lot of people can. Try going at 1.2 first, use it for a day or so, just to get the feel and make sure your phone can even handle that. and then if it seems stable go up to 1.3 and so on and so forth.
You may find that after a certain frequency your phone will start to randomly reboot and stuff...this is a sign you should probably clock it a little lower...especially since it really is only a "1ghz" processor anyway.
Hope this helps!

What I am wondering and before you attack me I did research this and couldn't find anything specific to the Inspire. I want to know generally what is a good speed to underclock the inspire to achieve maximum batter and before you say every device is different I'm asking for a general idea not a specific one. Also do you think that overclocking has a big impact on batter I am overclocking right now at 1.3 ghz do you think that I'll notice a difference. And I know I have to test it myself but I just want others opinion on it.
I have the same question.
FWIW, I run the OnDemand Governor and underclock at 883200 (245000 min) and don't notice a slowdown in any apps I run except angry birds (I ramp it up to 1.2 to play that). I haven't run any benchmarks or anything to see how it might improve the battery, since I really don't need to worry about it. It goes on the charger every night and I've never seen it below 50% when I plug it in.
I've been running a relatively stock DesireHD Gingerbread ROM based on the Asian WWE GB (2.37.707.3) but as of yesterday, I've been running one based on the telus GB released a few days ago (2.43.661.1). My kernel is custom based on stock HTC source for the 2.6.35.10 with OC/UV support added as hacked from the LeeDroid kernel tree. My source is here:

I'm running at my rom's default (1017mhz). Instead of underclocking, I use the conservative governor. Battery life is good, but I also haven't noticed a battery drain when overclocking (I've been up to 1228mhz). I didn't test/run it for an extended period of time (1 day), but I only noticed a slight bump in performance.
I've heard of people on my rom (GingerBeast), clocking down to 768mhz without noticeable slowdown. As you stated, it just depends on the rom.
I have my phone set at:
Max: 768000
Min: 230000
This works for me in literally all the situations.

Thank you its like they either yell at you to search or they give you all devices are different you have to try it. I'm not looking for a definitive answer I just wanted an idea of what has worked for them. Seriously this forum has some rude people exspecially that Scott guy hasn't helped me once just tells me to search I said I searched and he says its on google but when I bring up the page nothing. This forum would be 1000x better if people didn't have a stick up their asses everytime someone asked a question.

I hope my response wasn't considered rude, but the question really is too vague to answer. If there were some magic combination of OC/UV that worked for everyone, everyone would be using it.
They say that if you ask five New Yorkers their stance on an issue, you'll get six different opinions. Similarly, five smart phone users probably have six different opinions about the best setup for their device and none will be applicable to your situation.
Yea but I wasn't asking for the perfect combination out just wanted to know what others use to get an idea of what I should set it at but clearly you don't get that
even though I've said it three times

Howdy folks. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thinking about overclocking but have not done it. What are the benefits / rewards?
Is there an app or program i can to do this?
And what is a safe range?
Thanks in advance!

Benefits : Faster phone, smoother ui
Cons: Phone may heat up if overclock is set too high
For this phone 1500 is the highest, safest number we can get to right now. I would suggest setCPU, which you can find on XDA for free. (search setCPU)
You'll need a new kernel first, the stock one doesn't support oc. Go with Faux's assuming you're running a rom compatible with it (and most are).
After that, download Pimp My CPU from the market and you're good to go.

To be honest with you, I notice hardly, if any, real-world phone speed increase when I overclock...barring benchmark numbers. I'm not really sure why that's the case for me, and why for some others it's such an extremely obvious difference (or so they claim). Perhaps I'm not running the same cpu intensive apps that they run. But for general, day to day, running of my phone, it's just not worth it for me due to the battery cost.
So I would love to hear from some of you where "precisely" do you see such a marked improvement on the speed of your phone?
Well, first off, make sure you have a custom Recovery installed... Then find a ROM you'd like, and then, flash a custom OC Kernel..
You'll need an app such as SetCPU to control the overclock.

Are you using the stock launcher? It's alot smoother with the stock launcher if OCed to 1500, although i don't notice a difference from 800 to 1500 on launcher pro.
Hello,
I just installed the ressurection remix 1.5 rom, in combination with Thoravukk kernel, and i set my cpu to 1.6 ghz.
Set it at boot, and rebooted the device.
I'm really impressed about the boot speed, and overall smooth scrolling etcetera.
My question is, is there something else i need to do to keep it stable, or change other settings, like voltage, gpu, ram or anything else?
Because i'm really happy with the changes it's given me, but i don't want problems in a while.
Batterylife is not an issue, i don't expect it to last as long as it did on 1.2 ghz
Looking forward to information.
If i don't need to do anything else, i would like to know as well.
Thank you
Lost in space xD
Can any one help me with some info on where can I download the Thoravukk kernel. I've entered around 3 or 4 (including the official team blockbuster) sites and I don't see any download links
Why do you have it overclocked to 1.6? is there even a difference in performance? The phone's so powerful already lol, you could UV for better battery life, increase gpu for performance (in games) I don't think you need more Ram, I have the OG epic 4g and I have plenty lol
As far as stable, pushing your processor may create problems that you won't necessarily see at stock frequency, you get what ask for.

Exactly what I had in mind
The Note is plenty powerful even amongst the current crop of droids. And no app requires a dual-core 1.6Gghz. The stock frequencies were chosen for a reason, I'm guessing it's quality. All chips burn out in time, they have a lifespan. But you overclock your device and you burn your chip faster.
So what I'm saying is stay with the original frequencies. Port an optimized ROM and that should suffice.
Thanks for your answers, but i really notice the differenct, especially with a reboot, it normally takes 30-40 seconds, and now in less then 10 secs i'm at my home screen, and ready to go.
Also it is smoother with scrolling, and apps launch even faster.
so the diff is hugh to me.
Battery life is not an issue, i said, even if it goes to crap, i replace it for €20,- (Just about $25,-)
And the performance is nice, but my question was if i have to set other things.
And i use lulzactiv governor, it uses only what it needs, it's not always the full 1.6 ghz. Only when speed is preferred.

I had to go and look for the 2.30 on another post cuz the 2.41 doesn't allows me to have data on the phone. Thanks anyway man, the problem was that they hadn't uploaded the link yet on the official site but they did yesterday.
To OP, I suggest u increase voltage at over locked 1.6 to keep it stable
