[Q] Overclocking?

I try to over clock my phone with Tegrak Overclock but it keeps on crashing even if i put it to only 1.52 GHZ I am running stock KJ6 with this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20067583 and i want to know how i can overclock my device.

Why such a high overclock?
Most devs advise a 1.2 or 1.3
If you want I can send you some Oc/UV profiles you might be interested in

Sorry that was a typo. I meant to write 1.052 GHZ

OK. Well I have had a few instability problems with this kernel as well. The 1.3 profile I'm running works great with it though. Give me a sec I will post the settings

Alright here are the levels.
Level 0 - 1300 MHZ
1295 mv
1115 mv
1 - 800 MHZ
1075 mv
1050 mv
2 - 400 MHZ
1000 mv
1000 mv
3 - 200 MHZ
900 mv
980 mv
4 - 100 MHZ
850 mv
950 mv
Be sure to use deadline as the governor.
You might want to save the profile. If you don't have paid, I highly recommend buying it.

Still not working for me. it crashes when i try to change the settings.

I know why you have to get the latest tegrak or it will keep doing that

Also after i rooted my phone the scrolling while web browsing got extremely laggy. Its unusable now.

look for a tegrak thread in the themes and apps section. Ive got a profile saved in there you can try. The reason it crashes alit is because the values are too low for your hardware. Being that our phones are mass produced every phone will differ slightly, i had to up the voltages personally...

You running stock deodexed kj6? if so there is your problem.
The deodexed browser is bugged and some files in your framework need to be changed. Imo itd be easier for you to just give valhalla a whirl...

Thanks i just flashed octane v3.0 and the browser is a lot better now.

Glad to hear you got octane installed. Sweet ROM (thanks raver). as far as overclocking, just to clarify you have tegrak paid version and anytime you overclock from the optimizations menu it crashes (soft reboot) your device not just a force close in tegrak correct?

No tegrak just crashes. I fixed the problem which was tegrak wasn't updated.

Oc using voltage control or system tuner

Hi flashed some roms that Oc to 1.6GHZ and others that don't and have compared voltage settings, and haven't seen any difference, do you have to Oc via some scripted file or script of some sort, or can you actually use voltage control or preferably system tuner to Oc?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Hi, you just need to use voltage control from the market and tune your processor to desire OC and UV.

That's what I thought but idk what would be safe voltage increasement just want to Oc to 1.6GHz from
1.2 GHz the app system tuner has CPU settings and voltage just like voltage control and has many extra useful functions also, like setting to UV when screen is off and when in a call, basically just need to know what to change the voltages to

I know this doesn't really help much but in my own opinion oc really doesn't do much. On Entropy's Daily Driver I get great battery life and performance. I have under voted to:
1200mhz-1100mv
800mhz- 1000mv
400mhz- 850mv
200mhz- 825mv
100mhz- 825mv

Voltage adjustment is not really necessary, unless you are increasing voltages for overclocking.

Voltage adjustment is necessary when UVing so you can save battery duh??? lol
Even when overclocking.

Uhh, no. I suggest you read up on the findings/observations documented by multiple kernel developers and bedalus's kernel testing posted here. UV has no effect on power consumption.

Well I tested it on my friends nexus s 4g and my epic 4g and with a lot of UVing. Lemme further explain.
Okay when you UV it just uses less amount of voltage on that frequency so in essence you save battery because not as much voltage is being used. Now however if you UV by a lot like -100mV and higher the phone will lagg a bit. If you overvolt your pushing more voltage to the phone which is more power being used.
I just tested my phone freqs. Used were 100,200,400,600,800,1000 And all were UVed by -100mV and playing games and using lower freqs it will lagg. When I didn't UV at all it never lagged.
Not to mention BTW I was @ 88% before and it only took me 2 mins to post this and now I'm at 86% with no UV at all. And last post before this I took me same time with UVed I went from 95% to 95% lol.

Well I can say every phone is a tad bit diff. But for whatever reason no matter who's phone when I UV if the phone handles it it. It saves me battery I want you to test this and see.
Run whatever scheduler and say performance run 100 MHz by -200mV like and 200 Mhz by -150mV and so forth. Play GtA 3 and watch when UVed it laggs and when Not it laggs stillbut not as bad. I mean hell even 1.5GHz no UV I still lagg haha

How do I enable cpu1?

I have a Skyrocket phone, running Sky ICS... and I've been trying to find out why cpu1 is off most of the time.
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpuidle/state0/time = 534677824
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpuidle/state1/time = 0
When I echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
And then cat the file back, the setting is zero.
How do I set it online? Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,

I flashed the a different kernel with Sky-ics and I use CPU tuner it shows I'm running both cpu's. I believe the ics update was to enable both cpu's anyway but then again I'm new to this and still in the process of learning haha give cpu tuner a shot hope any of this was helpful.

Ok. Which kernel did you flash? I'll give it a shot.

CPU...
Most of the time you probably don't want the other CPU running. 1 CPU is more than enough for most apps and tasks. I know Instigators Kernel basically shuts down one of the CPU's unless you need it. I am sure if you updated to the kernel in seans thread it also mods the CPU Governor. ICS by default has both CPU's going all the time.
So having 1 of the CPU's off is one of the benefits of modding. It saves precious battery. If you get a program such as CPU Spy, you should hover around 192 mhz when using the phone for light tasks. 1200+ is more graphic intense. If you start doing video and games, CPU #2 kicks in to help...
To change this setting on most roms, goto system settings>Performance>Processor and change the Governor type to one that suits your needs. I use Instigators Kernel with the Badass Script and I get AWESOME battery life and sit on 192 mhz most of the time and notice NO DIFFERENCE in the speed of the phone...
Hope that helps... if so, give me a Thanks...

If you punch CPU 1 in its kiniggits it will fire right up

What are you overclocked to?

I guess you can consider this thread part survey and part for my knowledge so I know how far I can push this phone. I am at 1728MHz max with the interactive governor and cfq scheduler. Not sure if I'm going to do any undervolting, I can get through the day with about 40% remaining, and I have profiles set up for low battery and such. I am running CM10 with the 747 (I think that's what its called..) kernel and can push it to 2.1GHz. Is it stable at that high of a clockspeed? I can assume it turns your pretty Galaxy S3 into a convenient portable stove
By the way, sorry if this is the wrong section.

It really depends on your phone, I had mine at 2100 and it was stable. However it can very I had,a, Droid charge that ran the 1440 no problem, had it replaced and the new one could go above 1300 without hot boots. Some phones just hold up better

Stock. I've had it clocked to 1.9. But can't tell a difference with real day to day function except for worse battery drain and phone hotter.
Sent from a SYNERGIZED GalaxySIII

I have run the KT747 AOSP kernel at 2.1 ghz for a day or more and had no noticeable increase in heat, or decrease in battery life. (lulzactive or smartass v2 with either cfq or sio scheduler, no voltage changes in KT tweaker) I also saw very little or no gain in real world performance increase, and the benchmarking apps seemed to back that up. Typically run mine at 1.809 currently. Every phone cpu is different in terms of top speed, and voltage settings. Best thing to do, is to test them and see what works best for you. These 2 links, courtesy of the Ktoonez thread, provide some great info on kernel governor and scheduler settings. Given the number of options in KT Tweaker, these helped me a great deal in terms of making changes.

I've tried 1998MHz and as you said, it didn't yield much. I think I screwed something up, because now oc settings refuse to stick (resets itself to 1512) and short/long benches are not as great.
