best overclock app? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

just like the title ask whats the best app to use for overclocking the skyrocket

system tuner!!!!!!

for some reason everytime i try to over clock my galaxy crashes

What are the exact upper and lower limits that can be safely used for the skyrocket while still getting good battery life?

I found that it works nice at 1560-1780. I used the custom rogers 0.42 firmware (found in the development section). But you really gotta play around with it and test it to find out.

SetCPU, I have the Donate version for Root Users handy, just be sure to donate to the dev if you use

Best Overclock tool?

Just looking for a push in the right direction. Thanks
In my opinion, that award would go to SetCPU. The amount of configuration in the advanced tab, along with profiles support, makes it a winner in my book.
There's a thread here on the forums if you look hard enough where coolbho3000, the developer of SetCPU, provides the APK free of charge, but you should really consider buying it in the Android Market to support his excellent work.
PS. He was the first person here to overclock the XOOM.
Agreed, never had an issue with SetCPU.
Also forgot to mention in my previous reply that you will need to install a custom kernel before using SetCPU in order to actually overclock. There are currently two great options that I am aware of: Tiamat's and Coolbho3000's.
Major differences between Tiamat's and coolbho3000's versions?

I think the Tiamat kernel is based on the first overclocked (coolbho3000) kernel. However, it also has for example the USB hack that allows you to connect certain USB storage devices to the Xoom. Check out the links from posts above!

[Q] Safe Overclock Speed?

All CPU's are different. Some phones will have no problem running at 1.6ghz. Some will. It's a trial and error thing.
If you are worried, start conservative and work your way up.
would you say that overclocking your phone is worth it? i know that it can really improve the performance of the phone... but it greatly decreases the battery life... and vice versa u can lower it and increase bat life n lower performance. im looking at opinions also thanks for the reply!!

I personally have the Infusion kernel running on my phone, which allows me to OC my device, but I don't want to. I've come across no normal instance when I've found that I needed the extra power. I mainly wanted it so that I could undervolt (UV) which improves battery life.
Adding a custom ROM and also adding voodoo (most ROM's have voodoo) will increase the performance of your phone.
I'm running Infusion 2.0 on Infused 1.5.3 right now (waiting for GB HDMI capabilities...thanks AT&T) and I'm loving it.
sweet man thx for the reply!! ive been looking for a custom rom to install but just havnt found one that i like yet... i like Miui but they dont have one built for the Infuse yet... so im kinda waiting on that... but who knows when that will come out..

Launcher Pro is a homescreen alternative. You can change things up, add different transition effects.
For instance, my homescreen is attached.

Mikey passed out 1-2 MIUI builds as a proof of concept on IRC a while back, but it took the existing problems with CM7 (MIUI is layered over CM7) and added new ones, so it's on hold until more of the issues with base CM7 get fixed.

There's no way you took your device to 1.8 - our devices can't go past 1.6 without overclocking the system bus, and the system bus does NOT like to overclock. The best anyone has done was around 1664 MHz and it was unstable as hell for a lot of people.
Some versions of Infusion reported operating at 1.8, but that's because bedwa made some mistakes in his PLL calculations - he thought those settings would run the CPU at 1.8 but they actually ran it at around 1.55

fastest anyone has reported to have gotten a hummingbird legitamately that i have seen was a kernel for the fascinate that had a really goofy timing stucture and had problems with other hardware. they reported the cpu running @ 1.7ghz with the gpu and bus at some really goofy speeds and fluctuated as the cpu scaled. it looked like a total mess.
Really the highest most people can go is 1.6 stable, which is what I'm running at.

Trying to pick a rom

Rom with a kernel maybe best from what i read so i don't have to flash that also.
I've read a lot eyes getting tired. What i'm looking for. Any reccomendations?
Everything works, including 4g and wifi.
Better battery life.
Overclock IF i want using setcpu.
Not a lot of built in apps just google apps.
Thanks

[Q] Information overload, What kernal/Rom combo best fits my needs?

Howdy, So I just got my first smart phone a few weeks ago, the AT&T Skyrocket. Kinda odd since I have been in IT works for many years that it took so long but could never afford the upgrade, my cars sap every spare penny lol.
After getting the phone I spent a few days getting to know it and then rooted it so I could use Titanium backup.
Now long story short due to an unrelated issue with ATT they sent me another phone to fix an issue I told them was on their end (and sure enough, it is, I think I figured it out though, anyone else get charged for a text message when the ATT family map "pings" the device?).
So for the time being I have 2 skyrocket phones and figured this was as good a time as any to try out another rom/kernal on the 2nd phone in case I don't like it my phone will remain untouched (I am picky about how my computers are setup).
So that is the history lesson, I have read sooo much the last few weeks it has gave me a good handle on the general process ect. My issue is picking out an actual rom/kernal to use, I have read so much they are all just one big garble of random info and I could use some advice to pick out what would work for me.
Here is what I want out of a rom/Kernal:
Clock speeds/voltages unlocked, I am an oldschool overclocker so naturally I feel everything can be made better.
Better battery life, Right now the battery life is ok but a bit too close for my tastes and I also feel it is just draining too fast for what I am doing (about ~8-10%/Hour average).
Some improvements like the light meter being linear vs having big steps would also be nice, I know the sensor itself can do it from the the screens but the software just goes in steps I guess.
Stable! I want something rock solid stable that I can count on for a long time to come.
Thats about it, The stock rom works fine for my needs minus those complaints. The clock/voltages being the biggest complaint if I had to go with only a kernal to keep a stable ROM.
So what suggestions do ya'll have? Is there by any chance a modded stock rom that is just debloated ect but will still be stable, that would work nice if it helped battery life some combined with a kernal I think.
I don't mind trying a few combos of roms/kernals but only have a week or 2 before I have to send this phone back and would need to fully test each one so I figure I only have time to do that on a handful in that time frame (I am very through)
Rom I have no clue what would work best for me. Kernal the Faux looks pretty good for my goals but I am not sure.
Any advice would be great.
From personal experience, anything made by forum member mhx is incredible. His ROMs are always super stable and and stripped of bloat. It also has the best battery out of all the ROMs I've tried.
Mhx's Gingerbread ROM
Mhx's ICS ROM
This is the kernel that I use Faux's Kernel

That brings up another question I have. I keep reading all this stuff about ICS but have not been able to figure out why it is such a big deal. Looks like just a different theme to me or is it more then that?
Is it more like going from windows 95 to 98? Or like 98 to Windows 7?
Is it worth going with ICS over the gingerbread?
Lastly I notice that they say they come with kernels, Does that mean I have to use those kernels? I assume this is not the case since you are using a different kernel but better safe then sorry.
Thanks for the help!

If you are wanting a rock solid stable phone I would avoid the ICS madness for now, it's not quite perfected yet. You don't have to use the kernel they come with.

So I take it that this means there are stable gingerbread roms that should at least come close to stock for reliability/functionality long term? Any opinion on the above mentioned rom/Kernal combo?

agreed, all those x listed have proven to be extrememly stable. For best battery life with OC'ing and undervolting support use any of those roms with faux's 010m kernel. I was getting 1% battery almost every two hours with that, fauxclock app undervolt -100mV, and tpc v3, before i switched to ics

It's more than that. It's a lot smoother and faster, better performance in everything, hardware accelerated UI, better multitasking.
It's the biggest update the OS has ever gotten, period. Yeah, it's still Android at the end of the day, but it's a pretty big refinement.

Yeah, I am starting to see that.
Back to the issue of the 2nd core going offline, After some playing around the only way I could seem to get it to come back online was to install SetCPU along with fauxclock. This seems to make the 2nd core come online but I am worried that running both apps will cause issues with them fighting over who has control?
I much prefer setCPU for the clock speed controls due to the profiles I can create but no voltage control. Is it possible to use the faux for voltage and the setCPU for clock speed control? Or am I asking for problems?

Definately asking for problems. Only use ONE cpu controlling app. SetCPU does have better profiles but fauxclock has a few. Which rom were u using it with? It does disable the 2nd core by default to save battery, but enabled it as soon as it is required (i.e. games and/or benchmark.) TO check run a force close setcpu and run a benchmark, then home back to menu and run setcpu, it will show 2nd core as active.

I tried that, the 2nd core stays offline no matter what I do unless I run setcpu.
I would just run setCPU but then I would not be able to undervolt. I wounder if I could use one of these scripts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20946429&postcount=574
That would take care of the undervolt and then use setcpu to handle the clock speeds? That would seem to be the best of both worlds.
not recommended. Use system tuner instead. It has almost as much profile control as setcpu, but the voltage control of fauxclock. It also has an option to force both cores online.

I tried it but didn't care for it. Still didn't have the profiling options I want. I like the setcpu since I can set it to have different CPU speeds at different times/situations. Maybe that is not worth the power savings. Whats wrong with setcpu?
I also had the same problem with system tuner as well, it would not bring the 2nd core online.

[Q] Need root/rom/etc recommendations for an odd Captivate setup.

I just picked up this OEM-condition ATT Captivate today and after playing around with it, installing apps on it, fixing the rear speaker, etc...I decided I want to root it and try out a good/reputable/reliable ROM.
Here's the tricky part...this phone doesn't have service, nor will it ever. That's right. Absolutely no cellular service for this device. I'm using it strictly as a home phone for incoming/outgoing calls on my WiFi using GrooveIP + my google voice number(and maybe some games/radio/etc) and as an emergency phone when I'm away from home and in other WiFi hotspots. Otherwise I've got this crappy little tracfone that I use almost exlusively for texting and the rare phone calls I need to make. Just can't justify wasting money on a contract or any other setup with the way I use phones anymore.
So considering how I use this phone is it worth rooting? If so, what ROM could I go with that will be significantly better than the OEM setup but not require j33t hax to mess around with? If this were my main cell I wouldn't mind going all out on it like I've done with every other phone I've owned, but since I use it this way I can't really justify dumping a ton of time and effort in to it. I just want something clean, cool, and reliable.
If it helps any here's the apps I have/use currently...

Thanks, checking that out now.
The ROM mentioned by a poster above doesn't look to be supported anymore and I don't think it's compatible with my KK4 GB.
Could someone explain to me real quick how this ROM stuff works? To my knowledge this phone has a Firmware and an OS, and if that's the case, does the ROM replace the OS and/or the Firmware? Or is it installed and ran separate from my Firmware and OS? If there's a thread that explains this, a link would be much appreciated.
Answered my own question. I'm going with the Legend 5 ROM + CORN kernel 7.06 using the Odin method. Installed the kernel first, now trying to figure out how to get the pop-up menu when I plug the USB cable in so I can go to mass storage mode in order to put that ROM.zip file on there. I guess it doesn't do that anymore with the new kernel?
Install went without a hitch. Noticing a lot of visual differences, but not much in the way of performance differences.
Does this CORN kernel lock my phone in at 1.60GHz or did I misread something?
Does having this kernel mean my phone is now "rooted?"

Corn kernel gives you a ROOTED status, and enables you to use "schedulers and governors" and a 1.2Ghz CPU speed which is confirmed safe. Download CPU Spy and Voltage Control in play store so you can monitor your CPU usage and can adjust between schedulers and governors. I use Legend 5 ICS.
Not sure if I want to go as far as OCing anything. Just looking for a nice ROM that fits my needs.
Legend5 seems nice but it has some issues here and there and the way I use the phone doesn't really benefit from a majority of the changes it offers. I'll keep messing with it and see if I can like it a bit more.
takeoutttt, I got CPU Spy and Voltage control but what I'm seeing on my screen doesn't match any of the walkthroughs I found for VC.
On the main screen I have the Scheduler dropdown, Governor dropdown, and two slider bars...one for minimum speed and one for maximum speed. I see no other dropdowns, no other sliders, no advanced screen, no voltage controls, etc.
Options in scheduler dropdown; noop, deadline, cfq(default).
Options in governor dropdown; conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance.
Settings are default for now until I can figure this out.
