Clemsyn's kernels have the GPU OC'ed to 650
Is this "safe"? 50% OC? What is unsafe for GPU OC? I cannot find any documentation on this subject.

Yeah, I think it's completely safe I use Clemsyn's 1.8ghz OC kernel on mine with CleanRom 3.2.2 and I love it. It is a less than 50% because stock is 416mhz so a 50% increase I would consider unsafe. The 650mhz is the highest I would go because I think any higher would be breaking that "safe barrier".

Cheers. Although 150% of 416 = 624
Is that your opinion by the way? Or can you back that up - or point me to some documentation on the matter?
Thanks

Lol sorry, not the brightest when it comes to math!
Also, yes it is my opinion. I'm 80% sure that you will NOT find any documentation concering whats safe and what isnt. It's all up to the users discression.

This kernel is created specifically for sense roms It will more then likely not work in it current state on any AOSP based rom
Features
Overclocked to 1.51ghz and stable as ever (for most)
added in smartass and interactive cpu freq govs
added in TUN support
compiled v4l2 as modules
many more....
for a full list of changes check the commit log here
Quirks
Smartass wont scaled below 768mhz atm im looking into it stick with interactive for the best overall experience for now.

Awesome! I'll give my feedback as to how it is working.
I did notice once a governor is selected you have to reset your Mhz or it will stay on 806 max. Also this kernel doesnt want to work with OC widget at all but works fine with SetCPU. I've always liked OC widget a little more as it uses less battery than SetCPU.
Great work so far BC your the man. Been running this bad boy and havn't had a single reboot @ 1.5ghz. Though my battery is going quick for some reason, dont know why
This'll work on the stock Sense?

Thank you very much for this. I can confirm that this is running well on stock.

If you get random reboots, it means it's OCed a bit too high; just scale it back a bit and you'll be fine if that ever happens
Is this running at 1.5 all the time or does it throttle between ranges?
What is the default range?
Does the user have to do anything to enable or set the throttling?

As noted above, I'm new to OC'ing but I'm pretty sure you have to set it to the ranges you want via something like SetCPU or OS Monitor. I believe default is gonna stop at 800mhz unless you scale it up.
EDIT: And thanks Impaler for the help!

Use SetCPU and select the Mhz/governor you want to use. Each Governor "Throttles differently"

What are some good range options?
I'm using 800 min 1.5ghz max interactive. Profiles I have setup: charging 1.5ghz performance, screen off 800 max 245 min
Bumped it up 1.1ghz min 1.5ghz max interactive, going to see how much that affects my battery life

I have mine set to 768 min and 1.4GHz max interactive
Charging is 1.4 performance
screen off 245 min and 800 max interactive.
I don't want to push up around 1.5 until I'm sure this is more stable on my phone.

there no real need to have it running at such high freqs all the time mine is set at 245 min 1.31 max usually n got no lag what so ever
the higher speeds are more for gaming and cpu intensive applications

BC you need to set your Donation link up like Impaler. I dont have paypal and it says you have to log in. Impaler's lets you pay with just a credit card. I will send a donation if I can do it without a paypal account.

Hey all,
I am new to the Android community. I just rooted my Nexus and flashed the Oxygen rom on it. It comes with the Netarchy kernel 1.3.5.(has awesome battery life) On the forums i noticed a lot of people posting about a trinity uv kernel for oxygen. Can anyone explain the difference between the kernels. Will changing the kernel affect my battery life?. And there is a new netarchy, should i update it to the latest version or just use the one which comes with the rom.. I am really a novice here, So any help would be appreciated. .
Try both out and see which one you like better.
You can undervolt using Netarchy as well. You can either use SetCPU or Proton Voltage Control to undervolt.

Do these kernels overclock the sgx540 gpu?
If so by how much?

overclocks CPU not GPU
But people saying the trinity kernel also overclocks the gpu which explains high quadrant. Also for galaxy s kernels they say 1500mhz for cpu equals 250mhz for the gpu and they have the same hardware.
hi every1.
I've been searching but didn't find any info about the topic.
Does someone knows how or just tryed already to overclock the gpu to higher rates? (i would like to get more to play better games).
another question: i'm using the matr1x kernel (17.5) and in the menu i have an option to overclock the gpu but there're options to get it to 1000Mhz? really?
Which are the riscs?
I apreciated any info.
thanks in advance

stock nexus s gpu is at clocked at 200mhz. you CAN NOT overclock it 500% to 1000ghz. thats just silly. thats like overclocking your cpu to 5ghz. the highest ive overclocked my gpu or ran a kernel that already has it overclocked is 250mhz. thats a 25% oc

That's the CPU clock you're looking at. LiveOC can overclock the GPU as a percentage value (ie, 110% is 200 * 110% = 220mhz), but it does the same to the CPU (so 1000mhz turns into 1100mhz). This will generally need adjusting the voltages upward.
So no need for any app to oc, just increase the LiveOc % ?
ya, that question about overclocking the gpu to higher then 300mhz was really silly, but asked t anyway
GPU Clock is stock at 200mhz, CPU is at 1000mhz. Increase LiveOC % and you'll go up by that percentage. Just remember, as i said, you will most likely need to adjust voltages to prevent instability and reboots. It's best just to set all of this up using NSTools.
Ok. I've tryed oc to 110% but instable. just need to set voltages to get the right combo.
Thanks!!
Not all phones can handle such an OC (either because of GPU or CPU, or combination, it all varies). Hopefully you can get a stable setup, the extra GPU OC is a great performance booster.

And what a performance booster... I never bothered to try the LiveOC... I just OCed the CPU and thought that was the most I can do. But with 110% LiveOC and 1300MHz CPU OC, my phone is now eve faster than before.
Any particular reason?
You can adjust it with LiveOC in nearly every other kernel.

ok, didn't know that liveoc also overclocked gpu...btw im at 110% and the phone reboots when playing, already tried to pump voltages +25 and it still reboots...should i raise them even higher?
Try a little higher. What kernel are you on now? If it still doesnt work after a fair bit of trial and error (with INT and ARM voltages), maybe it's just not meant to be.
LiveOC boost bus speed which will influence both memory clock and gpu clock?

im on oxygen rom and using franco's kernel...cant seem to get liveoc working, but what is strange is that a while back i remember using liveoc at 110% and stock voltages and it worked with no reboots
I recently flashed CROMI-X, and I'm loving it so far; huge improvement over stock, thanks to all involved! A quick question, though: I've been running the Quadrant benchmark, and averaging around 4400. That's a big improvement over stock, but seems quite a bit lower than any scores I see posted here; could I have messed anything up during the install, missed an important setting, ticked the wrong box, anything like that?

A couple of questions here:
What Kernel did you install?
What speed do you have your CPU set at? (Assuming you installed one of the overclock kernels)

Yeah, if you don't have overclocking, you won't reach the benchmark results posted.
But then it is all about usability, so if you are happy, no reason to chance damaging your device by overclocking.

If you are content with the functionality then stick with that. But if you are experiencing lag and sluggish performance then an oc'ed kernel is the only option you have to give it a boost.
I ran CROMi-X with Hundsbauh's kernel for a year, updating with each new version. I never experienced any problems while running oc'ed and the performance was great. Hundsbauh's includes an app where you can tweak the clock speeds for both the CPU and the GPU. e.g. I set my Balanced Mode to 1500 Mhz / 484Mhz and ran that way most of the time with no issues. It was a nice balance between performance and battery life.
That said, each device is different and your results may vary, but you should be safe using CROMi-X with Hundsbauh's kernel set to a reasonable overclock. It won't let you go higher than 1700 Mhz / 520 Mhz.

After my original post, I tried switching to _that v7, and saw a nice bump in performance, though I'm not sure exactly what it's overclocking it to; I may try Hundsbuah's kernel, I like the idea of tweaking the speeds myself. I had been under the impression that _that's was a bit more stable, but it seems many people use Hundsbuah's without issues.
