(Q) Is anyone over clocking their Samsung galaxy nexus?

I've recently rooted my galaxy nexus to load jelly bean 4.1.1. I was wondering if anyone has boosted the Cpu clock to speed up there phone. What are your thoughts on this?
Any help would be great
Thanks...

...are you serious? I'd give you an answer, but it's way too damn easy to find out for yourself that I'm gonna let you do that. I believe in you!

Sure it is possible, but why? With JB and a nice kernel mine is so damn fast I just want to slow it down a bit and enjoy the battery.

I know how to do it.. It's really easy! I'm over clocking now...
My question is for those who have bump up there speed, have you notice a big difference in performance, battery drain, or your phone running a little warmer when using it quite a bit..
Those of us who have a galaxy Nexus know that battery life sucks! And performance can be questionable at times. I was just looking for opinions on the pros and cons of over clocking from people who have been running it longer than me...

It strikes me as a bad idea. My Samsung Galaxy Nexus cdma phone gets plenty hot and sucks plenty of juice without overclocking, even though I keep LTE turned off. It's also a very snappy (and stable) performer with stock 4.04.

Every chip is different, so you're going to find that your experiences might not necessarily be like ours. Some folks have OCed to 1.8ghz for the hell of it, whereas I could pull off no where near that with mine. That being said, I've stopped overclocking altogether as, especially with jellybean, my phone is already pretty damn fast.

I appreciate all your input. I'll probably set it back to interactive and back to a cap of 1200.. I've just noticed now that I have my JB all set up. I've found it to be a little chunky at times. Going into Google now, and some times using the voice input..
I'm surrounded by ios lovers and I'm a huge Android guy and I really want to show them up with the performance of JB, so I don't have to hear them ***** about how chunky android can be..
I'm sure it all has to do with the JB build I I've loaded..
Again thank you for your time..

CM10.1 or CROMI 3.2?

What is everyone doing? I ran CleanROM for a long time but I'm curious what everyone else thinks?

This should've been posted in the Q&A section. That being said, I've been using CROMI for a very long time. Haven't tried CM10.1 yet.

CM10.1 hands down. (make sure to post non-development related posts in General/QA next time )

I was running cm10.1 and now running cleanrom 3.1 and just now updating to 3.2 I prefer cleanrom over cm10.1 at least on this device, I an running cm10.1 on my galaxy note 1 and 2 and on my galaxy tab 7.7 I think it really depends on the device and what else is available my 3 nexus 7's are all running paranoid android latest pie beta and that is also great

I switch between the two alot and I do prefer CM10.1 but I can't get my external harddrive or flashdrive to mount through the dock, I've tried three or four different file managers but none seemed to work, only the Stock ASUS one, which won't work in CM10.1 (at least I couldn't get it to) If anyone knows how to do this please let me know...

I ran CM10.1 was the first custom rom I loaded on my Infinity. It still had problems with lag on the browser and opening apps. Plus CM10.1 didn't have the cool Asus toggles and Asus apps loaded. So I tried CleanRom when it was 2.1. Man what a big difference in performance and touch response.
The original developer of Cleanrom left and a new developer now taken over and still making big improvements. If it wasn't for CleanRom this tablet wouldve been doomed with all of Asus critical flaws. The hardware is nice but the I/O problem and shaky firmware caused a mediocre experience which is unacceptable for a high end tablet. I don't think I can go try another ROM unless CROMI stops development. I was really amazed what CROMI has done to this tablet.

I am partial to CROMI myself. It runs super smooth, and sbdags is continuously making improvements.

CROMI -- I did actually try out CM10 in the earlier versions (which I'm sure do not even hold a candle to the more recent ones), but I did not like on this particular device (I have a few others that run/ran CM to great satisfaction). I like the keyboard toggles (available in the more recent M versions, I know), and the external storage functions must work impeccably for me to even seriously consider to try out CM10 at the moment...
I've donated to all three projects (CM, CleanROm and CROMI) and I do hope that CM10 is succesful and popular -- no hard feelings here.

Help choosing ROM

OK, my problem is I can't decide what ROM is best for me, And I'd rather not spend time trying them all out when I have all you beautiful people who can give me their input. The two ROMs I've used are cm10 and liquid smooth. The issue is though cm10 hasn't had any real bugs for me yet, it isn't as fast or smooth as liquid smooth is. But liquid smooth although faster, seemed to be a bit more buggy. So I'm looking for a ROM that's stabile and not too buggy' but is also smooth and fast. I don't need a ton of customization but a small to decent amount would be nice and a few nice features wouldn't hurt but neither of those are necessary. . What ROMs would you guys suggest for me and if possible why. Thanks ahead of time.

I suggest Cromi. Plain and simple. It has its small bugs of course, considering it is based upon stock. However, the support for it is fantastic and it comes with many options. I am looking forward to 4.2.1. The tf300 got the option to switch between layouts of 4.1 and 4.2 and I think that is great of ASUS to come out with, and when ASUS released 4.2.1 for the TF700, I am sure sbdags will keep that implemented. With 4.2.1 I am sure will come some more smoothness and stability. CM is smooth, but does not seem as fast as Cromi. It also depends on the launcher and settings you have.
Good Luck on your choice.

I've been researching around the forums and it seems like clean ROM is good' but which is the best, I saw two, ace and inheritance

There is no "best" per say. Each has its ups and downs. I however prefer Cromi over other because it is stocked based and it still has the 4.1.1 tablet UI. Also, since Cromi has the most users, feedback and stability will be best. It is a matter of your choice in the end. Just try it out, you can always nandroid backup your current and try out others.
However, 3.4.5 just came out and I would wait. I personally am experiencing problems ATM and trying to figure it out. Problem currently (March 21 2013) seems to revolve around the new Cromi Boot Logo. So when in options just choose the Stock or Nexus 7 Boot logo instead.

Thanks for the help, I'll try both, see which I like more. Finally be able to settle down and not keep switching between ROMs like I have.

Disappointing performance.

So I have the US version and I've had it for a while (about a month) and I'm really disappointed with the performance. Scroll lags, the notification shade pulls down smoother on a galaxy player (that has less than 500mb of ram and is single core) and the 3d gaming performance is laggy. Like GTA3 should be able to run on max settings! Just disappointed and expected more.

OK? Why post this? Why not just get a new phone? Have you tried any other ROMs?

I played Tactics Ogre on my phone and Dead Trigger with no problems. Plus with most ROMs I don't encounter the same lag you have experience.

Maybe Powersave mode is on...

Sorry, the rest got cut out for some reason. I was asking if anyone else had this problem.
And a new phone is not an option. My family is on forclosure on the house right now so I might just cancel my data plan and use this as like an iPod.

Idk man, I've not had much lag at all. I've been rooted since the day I got it of course, so I've been running custom ROMs for a while.

Try flashing Cyanogen Mod from the original android section. General ui is much snappier and it doesn't have game lag like all the 4.1.2 TW ROMs.
Samsung really dropped the ball with the 4.1.2 updates. A phone this powerful should not lag playing temple run.

I get some lag while playing ingress and minecraft. Kinda annoying but it's better than my old phone and I hope my next is better than this one.

Are you running it stock? Phone runs great with custom stock ROMs & Kernals, but everyone has their own opinions. The games i've played ive not have any lag, but i'm running a custom kernal and ROM. That probably has is the difference, but i'm not overclocked.

well there's only two things that are certain in this world.... no tech device is ever perfect and taxes always increase.
If you expect anything different you will always be disappointed.
That being said, I had ANdroid phones since the HTC Eris and they keep improving. S3 is really nice, maybe the best of this generation, but its not perfect.
Lots of people are looking for infinite gaming speed + infinite battery life... well the two don't go together. There are always trade-off. speed vs. power, vs. size, vs. cost.
Oh and by the way, multi-core is mostly a marketing gimmick. The GPU does most of the graphics work and most apps are not multi-threaded, so a fast single core beats a slower multi-core every time. It's cheaper to make a slow multi-core processor than to make a faster single core.

I also noticed lag on the device which i put off was caused by Touch Wiz. I confirmed this when i finally rooted and started trying different ROMs.
The lag is there in all TW ROM's for me; however if you really want to stick with TW, the smoothest running TW ROM I've tried so far is Goodness. That is what i'm currently using. I don't experience lag during gaming or Apps though even with touch wiz... so might be just your phone.
However, if you can do without touchwiz, the AOSP ROMs are like butter and i experience no lag at all. At least the 4.2.2 ROMS. I've tried Liquidsmooth, paranoid android, Pac-man and Chameleon.

Crazy I'm 100 % stock and my phone runs awesome! I don't do much gaming so I can't chime in on that but I don't have lag at all like you describe. Do you have a live wallpaper installed??

I've tried a lot of the TW based ROM, Synergy, Hyperdrive , others and all the well developed one's run great for me. I don't see any lag. I also tried CM10 and no noticeable difference, I think a lot of the comment are caused by placebo effec, some people just hate OEM stufft. Also people will load up their home screens with 3000 widgets and say wow this phone / rom sucks, LOL m Then they load some new ROM with no widgets yet and go, wow this is really smooth....... until they load 3000 widgets and it sucks again. Hey , there really is a limit to performance on any phone.

What is the absolute smoothest fastest rom available for the xoom?

I ask this because my xoom is gathering dust in my cupboard and I have no use for it now that I have an HTC One, I am used the the responsiveness and 'fastness' of the phone and that was one of the reasons I stopped using the xoom; the lag
Every rom I used be it EOS or CM10.1 always lagged even when the xoom was overclocked.
If I can find a nice smooth rom I might start using the xoom again :victory: :victory:

Interested too. Eos 4 was slow.

I'm willing to downgrade to whatever version of android necessary to regain speed and reliability. What would that be?

I find CM 10.1 to be very stable and smooth for me. Very rarely do I have slowdowns. I also OC'ed the CPU. Try loading Elemental's kernel if you load CM 10.1. It did not work well for me, but those that it does work for say it makes the ROM much better.

From my experience the smoothest is CM10 (Cyanogenmod 4.1.2) : the smoothest and the faster I tried.
I only found 1 problem with this ROM : the default Android webbrowser crashes sometimes.
For now, I don't want any other android release on my Xoom as my priority is smoothness ...
As Kitkat should be even smoother, I hope to see this release on the Xoom, but I don't dream a lot !

Ok, thanks for the help guys. I'll check out CM10
