I recently got faux's kernel for GB and I'm wondering what voltages I should use in SetCPU or PimpMyCPU for optimum battery life and performance.

Every phone is different some can handle extreme uving others can't even boot the phone after flashing the kernel. You have to just try and test until you find something stable and up to your needs.

I have no experience with cpu overclocking so I really don't know what it means like a -100mv undervolt @1.4 GHZ. Would I get the same performance but use less power??

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.

4500 with faux rom 1.2.4 and 0.2.2 kernel.

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 got 4094 in quadrant OCed to 1.5Ghz on Ultimate, very impressive considering its a froyo rom nonetheless

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.

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?

I know that if you OC/UV incorrectly, it can cause stability issues. But I was wondering does it cause any damage to the phones hardware like battery, etc? And like how can you tell when SETCPU is causing problems?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well if you OC to high numbers your just stressing the cpu more.Knowing when you have issues is simple getting random reboots,phone getting too hot etcc.
It differs for every phone but undervolting -25 for each voltages works well.
Personally I really don't see the point overclocking to high levels like 1.4 ghz etc,Is up to individual I guess.

Yeah I have been wondering what's the point of OC to 1.4? Does it make that big of a difference in the 4g speed? And cpu speed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Honestly, there really is no point other than for benchmarks. I, like mt3g, actually underclock the phone to something like 750-760mhz; it runs beautifully smooth.
Other than that, if you game a lot and want to maximize FPS, then overclocking would do that for you.
Doesn't have anything to do with 4g speed afaik. That's entirely reception.
Yeah 4g is about reception and tmobile simply.
I mean I had single core devices like MT4g ,SGS 4g for the most part on a day to day basis transitions to transitions theres not much diffirence in terms of speed. Now for FPS and a few other games you need that dual core.Point is there"s no need to OC a dual core phone!

I have had mine OC'd to 1.1 ghz with some undervolts. It is very stable , 10-12 hr battery with medium to heavy use , and ofcourse fast. Took a while to find the best settings.
When I have SetCPU set to 1015 megahertz, that's the same as stock voltage, isn't it?

setcpu phone overclocking
Changes you might see are battery life but not that much unless you so how mess with voltage. Like other have said you know it effecting stability when its overheating, shutting down randomly, exiting program randomly.
Hey, I have been playing around with some rom to find the best battery life and recently I wonder if underclocking my CPU to 1000 MHz and below does extend nexus s battery life?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
It does, but it also makes the OS noticeably less smooth and can often take a little longer to get things done. 1000MHz is a good compromise. However, TEUV for example defaults at 880Mhz with an overclocked GPU (220MHz over 200MHz) which is particularly smooth if your phone can handle it and saves an extra little chunk of battery through undervolting. I would go that route rather than 800MHz/200MHz GPU.
Is there any posibl

Is there any possible way to overclock gpu on 2.3.5 rom?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Any kernel with LiveOC. Matr1x 11.5 i believe was the latest for GB. You might find a link somewhere for Trinity TEUV for GB too. Unsure of others, wasn't on GB for very long myself.
I'm that this has been brought up before but could someone tell me how overclocking the GPU is done? It seems to me that the CPU is the most stable and is fine at 1200 MHz and going any higher is just a battery killer. But the GPU seems like it's severely underclocked. (or at the very least could do with some OCing )
Are there any apps that support it on the Charge or some tutorials that can show me where I can experiment with some numbers. I know my bro's Galaxy Nexus kernel has GPU overclocking built into it.
Feel free to give me bad news but if there is any hope i'm up to some leg work and phone sacrificing. lol.
It requires kernel support. PBJ overclocks the GPU some, but it isn't customizable. Beyond that, there isn't a way on the Charge.

GPU OCing from a UI isn't possible on this device-AFAIK its only possible on the GSII (maybe the nexus). The PBJ kernel OCs it a bit, but imnuts wants to ensure stability vs raw speed.
