[Q] Overclocking - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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)

I only overclocked it to 667mhz with setcpu rom and i auto config it (first option of it) and works nice and dont need more

667 is not overclocking

How do you overclock it? is there any specific post for it? I used setcpu and the maximum speed is 667mhz

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)

[Q] best overclocking app?

can anyone recommend "the best" overclocking app for x10?
not sure if it matters, but im running [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01]
X10 cannot be overclocked yet.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
You can use setcpu but it wont overclock. We need custom kernel. So farr there's no custom kernel for x10.
But you can use setcpu to reduce the screenoff MHz. It might help to save more battery.

because you need a custom kernel to increase the possible range of values... the underclocking value is already within the range of possible values

there is one, but it still gets developed.
you can download and test it, but there is no fully working one out yet

... And as on any phone overclock thread, never forget our devices are NOT AT ALL intented to do overclock.
Carefully check our CPU's internals, because you will probably make your phone very hot, unstable, battery sucker and useless - it will self-stops because of overheat.
Or try in your fridge, in North Pole, or build a watercooling system.
Did I mention your phone won't be as mobile as before ?
Just kidding, but seriously guys, overclocking phones is useless today. Few years ago, it was nice (as we got very low frequency), but now we have very powerful devices... Don't expect to overclock as you do with Core i7 or Pentium IV...
Would it work if i would be on baseband .58 which is the newest?

the baseband is just the radio of the phone, it has NOTHING to do with overclocking...
the kernel is what controls that
hmmm no overclocking available till custom kernel can be booted man

You have to have a kernel that allows overclocking.

Are you using a custom kernel??
If you are use pimp my cpu to oc
G2X
Also, in case you didnt know.. Kernels may state 1.5Ghz and such but that doesnt mean YOUR phone will be able to go that high. Every device is different so every device's has a different max frequency.
Set CPU currently doesn't work with out kernels. You must install one of the OC/UV kernels from the development section and use the pimp my cpu app to overclock
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Ok, that makes sense I'm using the EB 1.04F trinity kernel +48 and was using pimp my cpu and I can overclock just fine there but I wanted to try out setcpu out.
I have it over clocked @ 1.2 -50 in all frequencies and scheduler is the default one. Force Min Frequency is checked as well.
Thanks

On a side note, my g2x has been highly unstable after leaving it sit while using pimp my cpu. However, I created a .txt file with clock frequencies and I was able to use setcpu with little to no side effects. But after all, what is ocing even good for? Benchmarks... Mt4g, n1, g1, mt3g, hd2. Tried ocing on all of them and didn't see a noticeable day to day difference compared to stock frequency...

On the mt4g I was able to play dungeon defenders OCed at 1.5 without much lag. Without it the game was almost unplayable because it would lag like crazy when the graphics got too intense. But on the downside it sucked my battery dry within hours

Overclocking the G2X to 1.5Ghz

If I have CM7 #54, do I need a special kernel or not?
SetCPU is not detecting the frequencies for me
I am using CPUMaster but I have the free version only
What is the best software to overclock automatically?
I also want profiles (Battery temp, battery %, screen off...)
In Quadrant I got 3000 points with 1.5Ghz
Now I only need to find a way to overclock it and have all the profiles and boot overclock work right out of the box
Thanks a lot
Sooooo you over clocked to it to 1.5, but yet you still need to find a way to do it?? Read..... all the answers are in this very section....
Oh by the way wrong section to post.

ok first set cpu will not be able to oc for you. use pimp my cpu you should be able to find it if you do a search. second if you want to oc use faux's kernel for that.

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+

Oh 1 more thing, T-mobile doesn't release the GB update for LGE Star yet. The CM project is built based on the GB source code only...

Use pimp my cpu, setcpu doesn't let you overclock. It only shows your cpu speed but nothing else.

I thoroughly tested OC on CM with different kernels. I got the best results with the Trinity kernel. My highest recorded Quadrant score was 4920 and I averaged 4690 over 10 trials with that configuration.

Overclock infuse gingerbread

Hi,
Can i ov the infuse gingerbread more than 1.6ghz, with froyo the maximum is 1.8ghz.
Thank in advance

U cant go past 1.6 ghz. The 1.8 ghz kernel is not really 1.8. Bedwa had his calculation wrong so the 1.8 kernel is more like 1.5ghz

No, with Froyo or ANY kernel on our device the max without bus overclocking is 1.6 GHz. It is a solid physical hardware limitation. Anyone who claims otherwise misread the processor manual or made a mistake in their PLL settings calculations (which bedwa did with Infusion and he admitted to his mistake - if you had bothered to read the Infusion thread you would know this.)
With bus overclocking some people hit 1664 MHz, but most people had incredibly unstable devices there. It's a LOT harder to bus-overclock a device than multiplier-overclock the CPU core.

Does overclock to 1.3 Ghz makes any sense?

I am using uc kernel and i am in a mood to overclock my phone.My question is same as topic.

to b frank..i dont see such a major diff...but yea loading tym for games gets reduced...and battery drain..ahem ahem..
u got to test wether ur phone supports 1.3 or not..mine dint.. 1.25 is d limit for me..!

I wanna ask that at 1.3 is it safe for daily use becoz its quite high.

No one will recommend to fix max 1.3Ghz. Cause it may over heat your phone due to it is over clock.
Ofcause, this shorten you phone life.

Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
Better be on 1Ghz as default. And when multitasking or playing games, OVERCLOCK!! But 1.2 maxx..
And TI OMAP's are powerfull enough,can resist overclocking.
And moreover 1.2 is standart overclocking for our OMAP.

Be on one ghz...
Seriously didnt fell any diff........
its ma opinion..use custom kernal....
on demand..
nd make a profile....when screen gets off...set cpu max to 800 min to 300..nd same while charging..saves battery
Guys, try below combination
governor : lionheart
I/O scheduler : sio
you will fell it.
