[Q] Is this phone able to be over clocked ? If so, how ? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any apps out there to over clock the Galaxy S ? do I gotta be rooted etc. ?
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

i'll be honest mate, your app caused numerous crashes for me on SO 4.0. maybe it'll work better on 4.1 but i'm not sure it's worth it.

There is a thread about it. I cant vouch for kernel's compatibility.
Anyway, if you dont know how to use it (and the nature of uv) then dont.

as stated, im asking about APPS -- like if I root my phone --- is there any APPS that can oc my phone

there is no app to overclock. case closed

Simply: No.

[Q] Captivate kernel question.

Alright, I'm rooted. Now, I want to have the WiFi tethering and I'd like to overclock. Can I do both? Is there a kernel that does both, or do I run em one at a time? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends, setiroN puts out a very nice kernel. I use his in my ROMs. On a side note, I would move this to the Q&A before the army shows up!
Edit: you need a custom ROM to gain access to the tethering function.

If you haven't done it yet, flash Perception or Cognition, they both have wifi and usb tethering on. I haven't played with the others, but if you do some reading you find out about the others.

Yeah, I saw more technical stuff over here so I posted. My bad. I think I want to stay away from ROMs. Idk though. I've heard they're cool, but always break something. I just came from iPhone and I was up to speed. Now I'm such a lost n00b! My goal WAS to overclock and enable tethering and stay with the stock ROM. Are there any ROMs that don't break ANYTHING? Thanks dude.

You can always go back to stock, but you never will once you play with some lagfixed kernels and custom roms. I thought this thing blew the iCrap out of the water stock, and its amazing now. Overclocking sounds cool, but unless you are a gamer and actually need the extra clock speed, i'm not sure its worth the effort. I have had ridiculous battery life just using 1GHz and Voodoo lagfix. I would def recommend you try P9.5 (perception) as I have no problems with anything and the best GPS ever.

No disrespect meant to the other ROM devs. I am a DG fanboy and found what I was comfortable with and haven't looked around at all, but I know there are a lot of people out there that like roms made by other devs, and I'm sure they are just as good.
the Perception 9.5 in my signature is the link to the perception thread. The sticky at the top of the thread has all of the guides for beginning to flash roms.
check this out as well, haven't watched it but it should give you an idea of whats going on:

Alright. Finally got back home and got it flashed. Seems fine. Battery life seems a little shorter. I only have about an hour with it. A few questions, what is Blinky? And what is BLN?
bln is back light notification. it can sometimes be turned off in recovery if the kernel has a modded recovery. basically if you get a text email or other alert the phone will put on the soft key back lights. i dont care for it because im never looking at my phone at it is never in a visable location for the lights to catch my attention. basically if i can see the lights im probably about to unlock my phone anyway in which case i can see the notification in the status bar.
blinky is an app that has something to do with bln but it didnt work when i tried to use it.
give the battery a couple days to calibrate. the batstats file can get all screwy making you think you have battery drain. if you charge the phone while it is off and then start the phone the two battery meters should be close to each other. if they are not then the batstats are likely off. you can clear them in clockworkmod recovery. over the coarse of a few days you may see the battery life appear to get longer.
i believe the accepted procedure for calibrating is charge to full. clear batstats. charge to full +1-2hrs. turn off phone and charge to full again +1hr, turn on phone and charge to full.
but i tend to just clear bat stats once and use the phone. im not gonna dis anyones method but i see no point in the calibration thing.

Dragon Kernel 3.2 - Voodoo Sound v4

http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Kernel-Voodoo-OC-v3.2.zip
Just to keep the OP short, description and such are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922510
Changes from 3.1.2:
Voodoo Sound v4.
OC the bus slightly at 1.4Ghz, still deciding if it's worth while.
Increase the refresh rate for the GPU. Increases FPS cap to 65. Turn off the screen once after boot to make sure it's working.
Convert Android logger to a module, disabled at boot. insmod /lib/modules/logger.ko to enable.
Enabled charge current readout.
Increase kernel Hz to 1000, seems to smooth things out a little more.

I haven't seen any reason to mess with it honestly, I'm quite happy with the screen colors. Maybe if there is a control type app released for it so people can configure it.
Is there a non OC version?
You can use the voltage app to limit the cpu to 1ghz.

I'm trying to avoid maintaining another branch without oc.. The kernel self-limits at boot to 1Ghz, so it should act like a non-OC kernel unless you load up the Voltage Control app and enable some OC states.
What about the voodoo sharpness mod? I'm excited to try out the 1000hz. Did you ever disable the fm module? Did you ever get a rom booting with full preempt like other devices do? I haven't had a chance to mess with it myself. :-(

I haven't done any of the voodoo screen stuff... Never seen a reason to. I might look at it. One of the things I would want to see is a userland control app so people can adjust to what they want, like Voodoo Sound does. The screen is just too subjective. Everyone is going to want something different.
Yes, the FM module is disabled, no significant difference. No, full preempt doesn't boot... still not sure what Samsung did there... I'm still using voluntary preempt.
From what I've seen of Samsung's code and their shortcuts, I suspect something in RFS isn't threadsafe so they broke full-preempt. That's just a guess though, as we don't have source for RFS and they will never give it to us as they think it's valuable..

I like how you put it, "they think it's valuable.." lol
/efs still runs RFS so maybe that's just freaking out when we set the kernel to preempt.
As far as the screen goes, I definitively agree, but he did change more than just the color. He added a sharpness fix and several other settings. But I like the idea of it all being useland controlled.

Not all phones are overclockable. Have you ever been able to overclock your phone?
runs great so far at 1.2
Thanks, That what i did, actually this is the first of the OC kernels th I've bn able to get to1200mhz without the phone locking up. Thanked both of you!!
i haven't been able to successfully overclock this kernel using the voltage app.....if i use setcpu speed i can get to 1.4 ghz easily but anytime i use the voltage app i get a freeze....any suggestions??
EDIT* sorry i meant the previous kernel that the new update
I talked with Supercurio and he tells me the OneNAND driver itself is what's causing the issue with preempt. In order for us to be able to use preempt, we have to either mod the nexus s kernel to work on our phones or backport the OneNAND MTD driver. That way, we stop using the FSR layer altogether. (Wouldn't that also cause an increase in file system performance as the FSR layer causes some mayor slowdowns in fsync?
I love using your kernels as it allows me to underclock.

I doubt you will find such a kernel, but even if you can find it, do you really expect a working phone with these frequencies?

My phone 528MHZ I saw a video on youtube and there had 820MHZ
nice.. is the video titled: "how to fry your phone without a pan?"
you can't even run your phone at 710, let alone 820 mhz without it being buggy or crashing.. Check out dumfuq's kernels if you want and one of his older versions allow up to 820mhz overclock.
556-614 are fine but 820 is an overkill, u'll fry the phone and it mightdie faster, what's the reason u want to oc to that level?

[KERNEL] [gpl] Trinity UV11, CM7/modaco/stock, 2.6.35.13 - bfs404

There was often a request for Trinity with UV instead of OC, no OC at all, well, here it is. 1100MHz of undervolted almost stock battery saving goodness.
This 2.3.4 Kernel is for CM7, modaco and stock roms will be updated later
BLN (Backlight notification) (Big Thanks Neldar! buy his app for blinking notification)
Based on 2.3.4 Gingerbread source.
Upgraded 2.6.35.13 base
At almost stock 1.1GHz with decent amount of UV
Trinity bootanimation by @rascarlo
TUN (Tunneling/VPN support)
CIFS (Samba support)
EXT4 mount fix (CM now picked this up for /data already)
Voodoo Sound v8 (cm7) (Thanks supercurio)
Voodoo Color (Thanks supercurio)
Flash issues fixed
USB fixed
A little note on blinking with BLN, it will use more power, static lights as notification you wouldn't have to worry about if you are worried about your battery, your 100 extra apps use way more than BLN.
Thread will be closed, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036996 is going to be the main one.
maybe I'll need this later

Lame question here - does this kernel provides the benefits of a good Voodoo kernel with an excellent battery life? That's why the UV?

I would have to say glitch. I runs amazing for me. When I tried ics I could not get high oc's, but with glitch v13(cm7 version) I was able to stay nicely at 1.5ghz constantly. Never really had issues either. It's a really cool one.
