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
sent from my real Gs move in silence like lasagna
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

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.

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.."

So I found a kernel on the Fascinate forums that was built off of our EC10 froyo source that was from nemesis2all and I saw that he had added the ability to overclock and undervolt from within the ROM so I installed it just trying (backed up of course) and found that it does indeed work.
I then got the Voltage control app from the market and started playing around doing Quadrant scores throughout after each change. I found that at 1200 mhz I was getting 1600s instead of 1400s and the phone ran great. But when I tried 1400 mhz the phone froze up and restarted while doing the CPU section of the Quadrant test so I reverted back.
My question is, what would be safe to stay at for general use?
Second question, how do you use the voltage app to undervolt I see the settings but I don't know what to set them too.
Here is the link to the kernel
1200 has proven to be the most stable overclock, any higher and it will freeze up eventually.
With voltage control, the way it works is that you set the max clock and then it will give you increments that the phone will automatically clock to within the guidelines you give it. Then for each increment you can set the voltage it will use. Just look around and experiment with voltages, see how low you can go without having issues and never set it to apply at boot unless you know that's what you want, other than that go crazy and a reboot will fix it if you have a problem.
I recommend keeping setCPU installed along with it, that way you can still force it to underclock or overclock or whatever. It all depends on how much you use the phone and what for.

H'm, I tried going up to 1.3 and it would freeze up after 5 or 10 minutes every time.
Like I said, 1.2 is the only one that has proven to be safe for everybody... not each phone is exactly the same and if akellars CPU has a soldering that is done a little bit different than mine, it might allow him to clock a little higher. who knows
Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
I've been running it for a week @ 1400 -25 undervolted and haven't had any issues. The new 1.6 gives me trouble. I don't think there's enough overvolting in that one to make it stable for pretty much anyone. I use the 1400, 800, 400, 200 steps all undervolted @50 except 1400 which as mentioned is -25. Battery life is good because during sleep it doesnt really hit the high end and by not having the other steps its snappy when in use. Fastest this phone has been by far. I don't use setcpu because I think it and the voltage app conflict. That was nemisis's instruction to install it.

Yup I'm just lucky 1.4 worked for me too but I didn't see much of a performance difference so I didn't see the need to stress the cpu out anymore than I already was. battery life had been awesome for me with my setup as well.

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

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.

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

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.

I used SetCPU before on my OptimusT, and it was actually working pretty good, BUT NOT ON LGE STAR. For now, the best overlocking app for LGE STAR is PimpMyCPU WITH CUSTOMIZED KERNEL.
With FR and Faux's kernel, you can easily get 4000+ on Quadrant.
With GB and its own kernel, I think we just get like 3000+

I'm using AOSP+ ICS ROM with the latest Matr1x kernel. Whenever I try to OC to 1460 the phone freezes and I have to pull the battery, so I'm forced to run at a maximum of 1300MHz.
Also, on a related matter, is it good practice to use SetCPU with various profiles (battery<, temp>, screenoff, charging) for various frequencies? Or should I just use AOSP+ tweaks to chose a min and max frequency and let it be?
Thanks for taking the time to answer these.

If you are using deep idle you shouldn't underclock since it causes a race-to-idle condition. In other words your battery will drain faster. If you don't use deep idle, feel free to underclock when the screen is off or whatever you want.

Personally, I do it because I can. Seriously... I'm a geek, I love gadgets and tech and I like to tinker.
On the subject at hand, I'm still unable to OC to 1460 (ARM voltages +30, INT voltages +25) but at 1300 it runs fine, no issues whatsoever.
i can run 1460 stable all day. bigxie/matrix. just did +30 to all the voltages above 1000. deadline and lulzactive..
If you are a geek you would know about something as simple as binning chips. Do what a tech geek would do...look it up. Same thing the op should have done with his ?. Hell mathkid has a answer to his ? In the op of his kernel thread. Which is the kernel he is running
