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

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 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.

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.

Voltage Control - OTB 1.5 Kernel

Anyone care to share their voltage settings to get insane battery life?
I'm using dgas's Heinz 57 6/6/11 rom. Great rom!

Great question. If someone could explain how each setting affects the phone, that would help as well.

You can find a lot of information settings here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011626
My normal setup is
1300/1200/1000 - 50mv
800/600 - 75mv
400/200 - 100mv
Currently testing for stability (failed miserably)
1300/1200 - 50mv
1000 - 75mv
800/600 - 100mv
400/200 - 125mv
Edit: test failed. Sod and phone freezing. Sticking with what I know works but thought I'd leave the test settings for info purposes.

I run stock clock numbers, 1000 @ -50, 800 and 600 @ -75, 400 200 100 @ -100 and get great battery life and the heinz rom doesn't get laggy like some others so I haven't found a need to oc

Underclocking is also a good way to save battery.

I'm using the same voltage settings as akellar's normal setup and have found it to work well, but I've also enabled 100Mhz @ -100 and haven't had any problems.

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?

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

No problems for me. And performance governor means the phone stays at max frequency all the time. You should never use it for real usage just for testing.

Undervolting has zero to do with performance. The danger with undervolting is instability. If you undervolt too much, you'll crash because your CPU can't draw enough power to do an operation.
A certain CPU is able to do a certain amount of work in a given clock cycle, and that amount of work does not change in the slightest with voltage.
EDIT: Also, as JihadSquad said, performance keeps your CPU at 100% maximum clock speed at all times. It doesn't let it slow down. It is brutal on a battery for no real world gain.

Anyone notice when using smart ass governor it won't overclock to 1400 , it can over chick anything else but not 1400 for some reason so I have it at 1440
