[Q] Overclocking

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)

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)

D-i-a-b-l-o Kernel, Development stopped.

Hey mates,
It is really awesome seeing the Kernel-Development processgrowing soo fast, wow amazing, we have now a vsync functional 3.0 kernel with Cam and usb working ! Thanks so much Ivendor, you rock !
Coming to the bad point:
Maybe some of you've already noticed that my updates come later from week to week and I think today is the time to stop. Don't get me wrong, I'll never leave this Forum or stop working on android(kernels), but for me the school is now more important and my "break from school" because of a small interval of no exams, has an end already tomorrow. So this means I'll have to learn really a lot and try to get good marks, you all know this is not the easiest pat of an student. While the time I'll have to learn that much, I really want to not be disturbed by anything. And I don't like to let things stay no finished, because otherwise I cannot start anything new for me..
So I'll close/delete this Thread (maybe even today)(!) to have the feeling that I actually really stopped sitting in front of the pc throwing time away, which would be better invested in learning. I hope you all can understand my decision, even if some of you might think is is a bit suddenly..
I'll try(!) to make a build about every second weekend and I'll publish it in outerheavens Testrelease-Thread. Also I'll try to keep my KernelToolBox updated and today I've published something like a beta of it, for me almost everything is working properly
Don't get mad, you have other much better Developers then me like Arco, Ivendor Doom and much more are on a good way to them

one question
1. what do you mean by scheduler? you put BFS and SIO, they're not even categorized in same category. BFS is CPU scheduler and SIO is I/O scheduler

just flashed the ultrahigh performance kernel - so far so good.. clocked it to 1881, seems smooth as hell

i testet mix kernel and with this i cant recording videos. but nice to see other kernels.

OK, i thought i've understood the stuff around schedulers, but the above question made me wonder
AFAIK all above mentioned schedulers are bulit in the kernel and responsible for I/O-operations. So they are not meant to act on the cpu. Maybe this reference brings light to us
Maybe i'm not right - then please enlighten me :good:

i think you misread it man. read carefully and you'll see that guide you gave didn't mention BFS and CFS even once
i quote this from castagna's thread
Q: What are BFS (Brian F#ck Scheduler) kernel?
A: They are task schedulers (they determine what processes get cpu time, how much, etc)
CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) is the default scheduler in the official mainline kernel. It's a tried, tested, stable scheduler.
BFS (Brain F#ck Scheduler) is a third party scheduler written by Con Kolivas that must be patched into the kernel, and replaces the CFS scheduler. It tends to be faster in certain tasks, and is usually pretty stable, but sometimes there can be performance quirks.
In a few words:
CFS stable scheduler best at multitasking, used on all standard/stock kernel
BFS a little less stable scheduler, increased much interactivity at the cost of multitasking

to be simple, BFS and CFS responsible to task execution of cpu while the ones for I/O is BFQ and CFQ. they have similar name so maybe you misread it

using ultrahigh performance gave me the worst gaming experience ever never seen such lag

I'm using cm10 ivendor.
1.Can I install high performance kernel?
2.How to install it,I mean do I have to wipe anything?
3.Is the camera quality worser than on stock ivendor kernel?

the camera has no way to be fixed due to the 423MB RAM available Can sb of you guys using ultrahigh performace try gaming ? Because it lags like sh*t for me

gaming!

my sensation gets hot when playing real racing 3, i overclock it just to 1200 mhz on lagfree governor.
after 3 minutes of playing the game laggs, and the cpu underclock itself ecause it is getting hot.. is there a solution for this? im on bruces 4.1.2 rom
my sensation is all the time pretty warm btw, even when playing soft 2d games, it reaches 50 celcius

Hi,
Playing games=more cpu=more battery=more heat.
This is quite normal.
50 degrees is not unusual.
80 degrees , and the phone should cut out before frying.
Play around with different kernels and different governors,until you find a reasonable balance.
Your phone is not a games machine.
Please allow for that.

Install ARHD 7 Rom with stock or custom kernel n it b good ya it vll heat a bit but that's natural
HIT THANKS IF I HVE HELPED YOU

Thanks guys, but i stick with bruces rom, i thrust his rom the most. I've overclocked it just to 1200 with governor lagfree, no underclocks anymore

How to overclock

Hi guys i can someone tell me if can overclock?
Just tell what to do...I want to overclock it to play heavy games like mc4 and nova without much lag
I have the rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629307

-___- It's simple. Download any of apps like those for example; AnyCPU, No-Frills CPU Control and Voltage Control. But the problem is actually in GPU service; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191468 but you must have both root and CWM recovery (CWMR is to back up your firmware and user data).
EDIT: With this GPU tweak and GPU video tweaks in build.prop, Minecraft is pretty smooth.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA

thanks!!! i already did the gpu tweaks from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2191468
now i'm going to install the apps you said but if i change kernel won't i have better results?
but i don't know what kernel to use...
I hope i was clear i'm portuguese

Of course u need to flash a kernel that supports over clocking. And then use set cpu to tweak
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium

Can you recommend me one ?

For the starter, if you are on the CyanogenMod 10 Jelly Beans port and its derivatives, iodak kernel for one. At full throttle, it roars by at 1.3 GHz but you may try undervolt it a bit (due to CPU heats) - mine's at 1.25 V at 1.3 GHz so go for 1.275 V for better chance.

I'm on stock gingerbread...any advices?

Ah, I see. I will look - even though the development on Gingerbread ROM have slowed down a bit.
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23629242 - even though this kernel is discontinued, it's good. I used this one before I decided to ditch Gingerbread for Jelly Beans (due to better VSync service required by some games but I personally think you will do fine with Gingerbread though. And note this kernel's maximum CPU frequency support - 1.4 GHz.)

People say the S600 is slow... I say ya right

Like the title says, this SOC is actually pretty damn fast especially the Adreno 320. Here are some benchmarks. 2.05ghz CPU and 627mhz GPU. Running CM 10.2 and Chronic-Kernel 2.0

Your... 'putachen' must be very long now. ^^

No one said it was slow there is just a faster chip out there.

I'm not comparing it to the Exynos or anything else its just to show What the S600 is really capable of. And yes some people complained about the S600 was not that fast compared to other chips

I hate you hahaha. Didn't know what it meant and google searched it...

I don't wanna start war or something, but for me the Snapdragon version is just better. Lots of custom roms, improved connectivity and more battery efficient than my friends i9500. Performance of S600 is still enough to play best games for next year, and UI? smooth as oiled ass.

I have to be honest the launcher, software feels slower on the S4 compared to the HTC One (i had the One before)i think Samsung should optimise software it would get better.

According to what we saw about the benchmark performance of the gt i9500 you can say that it has the same performance with some under the hood temporarily overclocking .. but to be honest i thought every manufacturer did this with pretty much every high end phone ... since it seems that the community is taken by surprise with the lastest new about the gt i9500 i tend to believe that this may not be the case after all

No not at all. The only thing that happens is that the processor is just put on performance governor where all cores are just clocked at 1.89ghz. Over clocking is something completely different. The exynos variant has its GPU over clocked to 533mhz for certain benchmarks. In normal use and gaming it will never go over 480mhz

Which Rom exactly do you use please ? you said cyanogenmod 10.2 (it's a 4.3 android version) then you said used the 1.2 version of the Chronic-kernel (it's for the 4.2.2 , no ?!) so i don't understand how can it works together ?
Thanks !

Actually the spec is 533, it NEVER overclock, but underclock to 480. You can't call something overclock when it is within spec

This is a completely different story and you're totally right. Samsung and every OEM from this point should focus more on the software optimizations and not just gimmicks. What they (Sammy) proved with the S4 is that no matter the "engine" insight, when you put a firmware of 1.6 Giga loaded with crap...you deliver a crappy experience. This is why a ditched touchwiz roms for 4.3 GE ones (completely different story...and so i made jealous an iphone fanboy friend ).
On the topic, whats the point with this OC benchmark? Does it feel better in everyday experience or its just for fun?

In a way its overclocked because that clock speed will never be used in everyday usage unless you benchmark your phone all the time. But the S600 runs always at 450mhz and 1.9. benchmarks don't change those values to lets say 2ghz CPU or 487mhz GPU

Faux kernel onky allows 450 MHz on the gpu. Which kernel are you using to get higher clocks ?

With Perseus Kernel, you can set the gpu speed up to 640 Mhz, the A15 cpu up to 2 Ghz and the A7 cpu up to 1500 Mhz.
You can also undervolt each step for the cpu's and gpu.

I9505 users saying bat life in i9505 is better?
Im getting more than 6hours everyday screen on time. Is it not enough?
Heat issue? thats normal but it doesnt come to the point that its overheating and its very minimal
Rom available? There are stock based roms available out there and now cm and aosp progress is faster than you know
Which is better? it depends on the user, they are both s4, you dont buy a phone to flash rom every day or every week. you get it because you need it for calling, texting, emails, browsing, music etc.
