That depends on if your rooted or not I suppose. If not then it's just mainly conservation tips like if your app has resources on the sdcard, like many of the shooters I have seen do, then having a fast sd card will help. Class 10 would ideal but not mandatory
Where as if you are rooted you can try some scripts like v6 super charger and others, you can use a custom kernel and overclock your cpu and gpu ( go easy on it as you can really damage the phone if you go nuts on it) and then the phone will run faster. Another idea with root would be to delete non used system apps to save ram space, but remember before doing any of this do a nandroid back up

Hi,
I'm quite new to Android and forum, but within 15minutes I S-offed and rooted my phone. I still don't know how to overclock the desire s. I used "search" but I found nothing. Could anyone help me and either write me an intruction what to do step-by-step or provide me with appropriate topic? I'll be greatful!

You'll need a combination of a custom KERNEL (that supports O/C) and a custom ROM (some come with an O/C daemon built in)
time for some reading.
Ok, so one more question just in case. May I use any ROM with any kernel or I have to match ROM to kernel (or opposite)?
Generally I would say custom roms come with the most suitable kernel.
The easiest way to overclock is to simply download an app from the market that will o/c your cpu.

If your new to all this are you really sure you want to start overclocking?

Although I'd also as that unless you'r e intending on playing games then the desire s should be fast enough without over clocking as ultimately that will reduce battery life.even the sense 3 rooms when configured and optimised correctly don't lag at normal operating speeds

You're still on stock ROM right?
If so, install this kernel from recovery and SetCPU once done. OC away.
If i want to overclock my desire s, does it effect my phone?

Yes, it would go a little faster
Seriously tho, it might run a little hotter, for a shorter length of time, and be slightly less stable - all depending on how much you overclock it, what settings you use, etc.
Try downloading an app from the market that will overclock your cpu and see what happens.

And NEVER max the oc setting. Some kernels allow up to 1.7ghz but your phone would be fried in a week and be incredibly unstable. Can't recommend going past 1.2ghz if you want your phone to last til your next upgrade date. For the most part though, oc is unnecessary on this phone.

Gotta agree there. Stock CPU settings are more than adequate for any use.

I just read somewhere in other forum, if I overclock my phone, I will have problem on my phone.
Maybe because of the cpu overheat or what?
Basically, yes.
Why not use the phone as it is, and see how you like it? If you do decide to overclock, do it in small increments. Honestly, I find it fast enough at normal speeds, playing games, browsing, etc.

+1 to you. 1Ghz already fast enough. No lagging at all like some other phone.

I was quite interested in this overclocking buisness. I overcloked my phne to 1.7ghz, used it for a while and it froze twice, requiring a reboot.
There was definitely a speed incresas, but 1ghz on lbc mod is already plenty smooth!
Now I've set up setcpu profiles to have myphone only overclocked at 1.2ghz when its chargingand I'm using it. But also a profile to limit the temp at 41degrees to 825-245mhz.
But when its unplugged, u have left it on default at 1024-245mhz on demand. Great battery life compromised with great speed.

Maybe you'll need a voltage bump at 1.7GHz. But even if it's stable, it will definitely be hotter. Not good for long term.
1.1-1.2GHz should be stable for daily use.
I observe that overclocking is now possible on the O3D. I have this phone myself and have acurateams brilliant ROM on it.
The user experience is fantastic and I do not have any speed issues at all, except my Class 2 SD Card (which NO rom will fix).
Why is it necessary to overclock this device?
the correct question is actually "why not?"
seriously though, there is no reason not to. more performance is more performance and the process of finding the fastest clock it can do is fun.

First time i played 9mm-Gameloft without any lag at all was after OC. So this is one of the reasons.
Overclocking is philosophy
Is the great fun with positive effects?

Its not "necessary" to overclock, unless you have a very specific need for more CPU power (eg emulators).
However if you are one of the people who likes to always get the most for their money, it just makes sense.
Plus it makes your phone more comparable to newer models which helps you "put up with it" for that bit longer before upgrading.
Bear in mind I have been in your position so many times. Thinking "oh its fast enough, I don't need to overclock" and then curiosity got the better of me. Then when you clock back down you immediately feel the difference in responsiveness.
Has your battery life been reduced by much since oc?
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
With regular use of the phone, battery life is the same.
However with a lot of benchmarking, 3d gaming, videorecording and videoediting it will run out of juice faster...

OC is only for a bigger e-peen
Okay maybe you need this with crap lg software ;-)

hi all
just recently got a sensation xe with beats audio which am enjoying very much however i would like to do more with it and exploer the new ics however im not sure wot kernal and rom to use, my phoe is currently rooted and s-off but thats as far as i got.
heres the features that i would like
overclock the cpu but not nessacary at mo
increase the memory as some of the progs lag abit especially on games might be due to the fact the the gpu is not fully utilized
faceunlock feature on ics
want performace + better battery performace current battery life lasts 12-16hrs
graphics enhanced as i like to play games alot
better graphic equlizer as i love lots of bass
wireless performance increase as am gettig around 65mbps wireless-n would like to know if i ca get a better connection
ones i looked at so far is android rev hd ics 4.0.3 sense 3.5 with beats audio not sure wot kernal if any needed
thanks
my appoligise for my engrish
ARHD 6.0 is my favourite (the one you mentioned)
DarkForest might be ideal as well. Although, I've never used it myself.
i will try arhd.. what is the use of kernel?

good question do i need a kernal, what will it do if i use a modded kernal?
kernal?
well i am all sorted as you can see from my signature i am finally enjoying this very nice piece of kit to its max thanks
Wondering if i can overclock my sensation without rooting it?? How difficult is it to root??
No you can't overclock without root.
Not difficult if you read the instructions properly.
Alright. Is there any method of rooting you recommend?
What android version are you running?
Im currently running 2.3.4 with Htc sense 3.0

Im not computer amazing, but i got it easy enough.
Then start flashing roms, and having fun

I installed a custom kernel that specified overclocked processor speeds, and just left it, haha. It hurt my battery life, so I got rid of it, personally.
The guide is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Overclocking can decrease battery life ( Some say so )
And yes, You need to root to overclock.
Rooting isn't tough if you follow the instructions.
Overclocking is pointless unless you are having an epeen competition with your mates for the highest benchmark scores. The phone won't feel any faster in day to day use although your battery life will suffer and your phone may crash more often.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
Overclocking only noticeably affects benchmark scores and BIG games like gta3. However undervolting is great for saving battery. You need a custom kernel for either tho, so you need root.

I agree with Asa2303 - I'm using overclocked and undervolted kernel which is great during everyday use (better battery life), and amazingly fast while playing 3d games.
Stock kernel on ICS has excellent battery life; however, with an overclock kernel you might get better results with games and stuff. Some say the phone responses much faster, but I can barely tell the difference. I don't use my phone to play games though.
Just recently Rooted my SGH-I727R ICS 4.0.4, now I am eager to tweak or mod it with stock, battery performance tweaks/ Video performance/ Audio Performance/ any thing that will make this beautiful phone a more amazing piece of hardware.
Any links or attached mods would help? thanks

If you don't want to do custom ROMs you could do custom kernels and such, from there you can customize cpu clock frequencies as well as voltages (if you want to go that route). Theres probably a few audio tweaks out there, might need to search for them such as using Beats or Equalizers etc... I use System Tuner on my phone but that will also require you to root your phone which would mean having to install CWM as well.
