saw many overclocked doom kernels medium level and extreme level overclocking.
is it harmful to the phone? does it overheates the board and damages??
for a 1ghz X10 phone overclocking to 1.2ghz, is there much increase in performance and removes lags..???
Most kernel developers won't allow the kernel to be set to run at a speed harmul to your phone. So no, overclocking is not considered harmful. Overclocking can greatly reduce lag, but you will be sacrificing battery life.
yeah dont worry mates.
be happy to OC your phone. kernel developer know what they are doing.
but dont go OC your phone to hisghest OC 1st level becouse it will crash your phone. try increase it slowly.:laugh:

Hi there, is it possible to overclock GPU?
i guess on most devices overclocking DOES overclock cpu and gpu at the same time

i don't think so bcs they are different hardware parts and when you overclock cpu it is sth about cpufrec but yeah when you overclock cpu it effects graphics too bcs it makes processes faster ...( i just think like that bcs of being a linux user open source foreveeeeeeeeeer )
If we could overclock the gpu on the android then the android would take over the world

android has already became a legend by being the first os in USA(Apple's IOS is losing users. )
So it is still impossible, right?

i think it is possible ( when i think that they are like little computers) but i dunno how to do it.
to start, youd probably want to dissect the software driver and see what it offers.
Well, when we will able to overclock GPU - we should not buy new and new devices, because our present devices are old. But how about temperature? Will battery get hot like in overclocking CPU?
well, from what i understand the gpu for most devices shares space with the cpu on dye and that there is a divider of sorts that keeps the gpu speed a percentage of the cpu.. and since cpus can oc better then gpus, the whole reason we can oc is due to the fact that devs have figured out how to uncouple the clock increase of the cpu from the gpu, otherwise the gpus clock would limit the cpu.. now overclocking itself doesnt increase heat and most of the time (depending on what governor is used) it doesnt always run at full clock so theres not a high constant current drain causing the battery to get hot (unless you run an intensive app continually) also, you wont see the cpu overheat as long as the voltage stays stock, but increasing cpu voltage is how you will get past the th max (thermal maximum)
now if you could adjust that divider you could oc the gpu..
I see a lot of overclocked kernel editions, and I am wonder could someone explane me, except extensive battery draining, instabillity and overheating of device, what is and is there any crucial positive point of overclocked kernels ?
Overclocked kernels are simply kernels whose speed limit had been raised above the stock speed.
That increases perrormans dramatically as is visible by different benchmarks utilities.
You are correct to assume that higher clock would require some extra voltage and that the phone will get hotter. But it is not always noticeable and is mostly depentant on the configuration.
The cpu clock is not always at the highest possible. Different governors define what speed should the cpu be at any time. If there's a lot of work the cpuspeed would increase and if it idles a lot it would decrease.
I love 3 oc kernels, Sebastian's, bricked and faux. They all have different philosophies but all are excelent, do not overheat and save gather.compared to stock though they allow higher cpu freqs.
I suggest you create a nandroid backup and try some of.there kernels. Give it atleast two days.before you make up your mind about it, and try another if you wish, till you find the one that is right for you.

I agree. I never see the point of over clocking. I always limit my processor to 1.18 or even 1.13 and never have any problems with overheating or poor battery life!
I used overclock kernels for a long time on my gs2. Its nearly the same like with a desktop CPU. Every CPU had it's own work range, many CPUs a
are even able to work with higher frequency but lower voltage than standard. This causes in higher speed with lower power consumption!
all you need is a kernel which allows individual voltage settings for each speed which you can set with setcpu.
BUT my opinion is that even the gs2 with 1,2 GHz dual core was faster than any Android app had needed, so the gs3 at all!
ATM I've setted the max frequency in setcpu to 600 mhz and I can't see any lags or missing speed...
So I guess many people are more looking for benchmarking than real practical advantage..
but undervolting is a real great thing for power hungry smartphones!

You all right guys. That is why I asked myself that question because there is hard to find modded kernels with default speeds and all new goodies, because I have noticed even I "limit" overclocked kernel in my Hypersensation CM7 Cyanogen Settings, it happens that some kernels from time to time speeds up to overclocked value, even in settings they were limited, and that impact widespread device causes instabillity ( and corrensponding unpleasent situations of forced battery pulling).
Last good kernel what I find for my CM7 ( I don't like ICS) is Bricked_XE-1.6.beta7 and with this release of CM7 it seems that kernel edition further development stops.It runs on 1526 Mhz and I allways wonder why shouldn't it run "out of the box" on default speed...
Does anyone have suggestion link, (because I couldn't find it )for any CM7 modded kernel with all new goodies, but running on default Sensation XE Mhz speed ?
i have been using overclocked Kernels for a while now and rarely have any problems, the phone is quick, very quick and the battery drain is really not that different and that is running it at 1.72 with both cores permanently on

This really should not happen. The maximum frequency for a governor is set through /sys pseudo-fs and (assuming the governor is not buggy) strictly followed. Maybe you have some leftover scripts somewhere messing with /sys?

And this should -- like already pointed out -- only be the case under heavy load. Normally, a sensible governor will only set frequencies necessary to satisfy the current load.
What is overclocking?
Overclocking is the process of making a computer or component operate faster than the clock frequency specified by the manufacturer by modifying system parameters. One of the most important techniques is running at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second; hence the name "overclocking"), but other parameters, such as CPU multiplier and memory timings, can also be changed and would be considered to be overclocking. Operating voltages may also be changed (increased), which can increase the speed at which operation remains stable. Most overclocking techniques increase power consumption, generating more heat, which must be dispersed if the chip is to remain operational.
Advantage:
Higher performance in games, encoding, video editing applications, and system tasks at no additional expense, but with increased electrical power consumption. Overclocking can extend the useful life of older equipment. Adding noticible response time for multitasking and powerhungry applications and games.
Disadvantages:
Overclocking if it's not done with moderate rate can be very risky and potentialy might permanantly damage your device's hardware, plus it can cause a slight battery drain. If it's done correctly then you're good to proceed.
Undervolting :
Undervolting is reducing the voltage of a component, usually the processor, reducing the voltages of each step less than the original stock voltages.
Advantages:
Increase of Battery life.
The heat that come from the processor reduces.
Disadvantages:
Undervolting if it's applied correctly then it's good, Hard undervolting might make the device unstable and potentily will lead to bootloops and freezes.
CPU
Maximum clock that could be applied on The Galaxy S4 is XXXXmhz and the minimum is XXX mhz . I will add the stock clock values as soon as possible.
More to come asap !

Hello guys if you have note 3 (sm-n900) with Kernel -halaszk-UNIVERSAL5420- and want to undervolt your CPU I have found a stable voltage for undervolting, Use SetCpu, first of all set your CPU when you are playing huge games to avoid overheating to min.200 max1300Ghz.
200Mhz-700mv
250-750
300-775
350-825
400-850
450-875
500-925
550-975
600-1025
650-1075
800-750
900-800
1000-825
1100-850
1200-875
1300-950 or 975
If your device overheats after undervolting I recommend to use DVFS disabler.
Do keep in mind, that there are not 2 exactly same devices. There is no stable voltage, which works for all phones with that model number.
Need help
I am using N-900 running Lollipop stock rom 5.0
I wanna do undervolting the cpu for long lasting battery life without flashing new mod rom.
Please give me some advice or recommended kernel for stock rom supporting an undervolt method.
Thank you in advance.
are there tests for battery life gained vs performance lost? would be interesting

1) What is DVFS?
2) Underclock to 200mhz is NOT POSSIBLE!
3) There no undervolting, because my phone stock volt for 300Mhz is 775Mhz, which i use for 300Mhz is 700Mhz and no reboot, nothing. Just bit longer battery life.
4) Setting for 300Mhz-1300Mhz for gaming isn't recommend i. Just enabler Samsung Stock Power Saving. It's limited CPU to 1700Mhz with MCPS (Multi-core Power Saving) with Bettery thermal options and GPU framerates limits to 30FPS for slightly save power and slightly reduce overheating.
Thanks
Wondering if someone know any kernel that has energy "savings" parameters such as underclocking cpu(phone is quite fast itself and to be honest as a daily driver some users rarely use more than 30% of it's actual power), energy saving profil, underclocking gpu
Surely you can underclock stuff for yourself and after a restart an app to force those lower clocks but why not having a kernel that has all these so you'll have better battery life and be done with tweaking?
What are your thoughts people?
