[Q] How to overclock - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys I heard there was a way that you can overclock the Verizon Galaxy s3 using terminal emulator. If so can some pleade tell me how. If not can you tell me how to overclock my phone anyways.
By the way I am using the clean rom v5.6

Cleanrom uses the stock kernel which you cant overclock. You can flash kt747/leankernel/faux and then you can overclock via a app like setcpu or system tuner.

Can I continue to use the clean rom and still flash a new kernel?

Yes, take any touchwiz jb kernel find them in the android original dev section, follow directiosn, then if it has its own app like ktweaker for kt47 kernel, use that, if not, voltage control free from the play store works well.

or you can pay to get the SetCPU app. I also suggest getting a ktoonsez kernal with the app built in. Lets you adjust more than setcpu

Phone running slow

Seems like my captivate has alot of lag even this I have the one click lag fix. Any suggestions? Thanks
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
oclf is not needed. If you are running onix or speedmod you just have to go into clock work mod recovery and enable lag fix and battery mod and bam! Thats it! Look in development for more info on this.

Can I install this kernel through rom manager?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
You have a few options. You can install a rom with the kernel already added which to me is the easiest way. Just follow the instructions on the roms page. You could also place the kernel on the root of your sd and and use something like sgs kernel flasher from the market. It allows you to pick your kernel and flash it.
Look under development stickies and look for how to install a custom rom. It explains it better than I have. Also, backup all data and apps. Use titanium backup and look up how to do a nandroid backup before flashing.

I would suggest to stop using ROM Manager, as it sometimes causes issues with 2.2 and later ROMs.

no... rom manager causes problems with kernels that already have CWM built into the kernels (like all of the customs)
rom manager uses the update.zip method for cwm. which causes problems when cwm is already in the kernel.....
Newbie Question.

Have not used a custom Rom before, but I am also running stock with enhancement and OCLF but getting 1800 scores on quadrant...
What else have you done to your phone besides the purpleliscious or was this rom enough to get you to 2600???
And how is your battery life???
Thank you!

Overclocking

How safe is it exactly?
I can't yet post in the developer thread. But I did it, opened SetCPU, and noticed nothing changed. Did I do something wrong? I used the CM Kernel.
CM Kernel isn't capable of overclocking. You'll need Faux123's or Morfic's kernels.
So is it safe if I install that one with the cm kernel installed on it?
Or is there anyway of removing the cm kernel?

Kernels overwrite the currently installed one. Ttabals dragon kernel will also work. Do the homework before flashing though. Everything you'll need is in the development section. Overclocking and undervolting each have risks, so does changing your ROM. Follow instructions exactly.

Over clocking a rom?

I'm running gigerreal 1.1.7 is it possible to overlooking this rom? If so how do I do it? I have setcpu and voltage control but can figure this out!

You have to flash a kernel like the infusion gb kernel that's able to be overlocked ....go to bedwas kernel thread(im not home right now or i would give u a link) it should say [kernel]infusion now with two cores to choose from and down load one of those...i suggest core a2 so the ffc works...then go to the market and download sgs kernel flasher ..its free...open it up..allow root permissions find the kernel you downloaded..flash it and it will reboot...then you can oc to 1.6...hope that helped

I tried that, when I open up sgs flasher I can't find the kernel I downloaded?
What the heck am I doing wrong?

If you download the kernel from your phone its gonna be in tapatalkdownload when you search from sys kernel flasher

Custom Kernel Root

Do I have to root my phone to be able to use a custom kernel or can i use a custom kernel on a non-rooted phone?

I think you should root your phone first then install a custom kernel, then you can be guaranteed root then
You can do that technically, however it may cause some problems, though you have a point. I now feel the urge to test it when I have access to my computer

I just tested, custom kernel boots fine on non rooted. U just can't change the cpu speed. Look at the post above yours

As far as I remember installing g3mod sets the governor to performance and speed to 800 mhz so it will heavily drain the battery

Rom toolbox help

I'm using Rom toolbox on my Skyrocket running CM9 and I love it but can anyone help me manage my battery life and also help me with overclocking? I'm also running a custom kernel.

There's a performance option in your phone setting where you'll be able to overclock the processor if wanted. As for battery life you can turn off surface dithering and turn on 16 bit transparency, use wifi as much as available, use an app such as system tuner to underclock your processor(be careful to not uv too much and don't save profile until your sure it's stable), also search for battery tips using google or the above search bar as there are plenty of threads set up for such things
It depends on the kernel. If you *safely* overclock to, say, 1.78 and you're using the badass governor, you should also consider moderately undervolting if you are looking for improved battery life. Download System Tuner and lower the voltage by 50-75 mv for each frequency level. Depending on your ROM and kernel, you may have to do this each time your phone reboots (if you save your custom voltage, you can just re-load your voltage table if needed). But again, you can only do this on certain kernel's.
Also, a couple of things:
First, avoid using profiles with custom governors. Second, Rom Toolbox will only get you so far. It's a good tool to have, but System Tuner and SetCPU are your best bet for managing your oc/uv/governors/etc.
I'm on the instigatorx kernel would that make a difference?

Well, yes it does make a difference! That's a good kernel, but there are A LOT of versions of his kernel. If you're running a version later than v5.4.5 you should be good. Also, play around with the governors and see which one works best for you. SmartassV2, Wheatley, Conservative, badass, (sometimes) lulzactive, and some of the others can work better depending on how you use your device and your specific settings. It will vary from device to device, but I've had a lot of success with badass.
Badass and smartass aren't options why is that?

Another problem I'm having is using system tuner every time I try to change the CPU settings its says failed to change CPU settings

You may have a bad flash of the kernel, try to re flash.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
EDIT:
If you re-flash InstigatorX and it still doesn't give you governor options, here is the badass script.. Download here and flash.
The other governor scripts are available in the InstigatorX OP, and you can flash them individually.
But, you *shouldn't* need these if you're on v6.0.2 or later of the kernel.
Also, are you sure you're still rooted? I've seen several people that flash a custom ROM and kernels, and they still have CWM or TWRP recovery, but they lost root in the ROM. Some ROMs are pre-rooted, some aren't.. and you can probably just flash the SuperUser zip (or SuperSU zip) to correct this if you lost root.
