Noob question about overclocking - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since few days I am trying OverclockWidget and I try to set the CPU at 1.2GHz.
Each time i set the value, it put only until 1GHz.
I know it is a stupid question but does stock Froyo ROM (JPA) can go further than 1.2GHz for overclocking ? Because I don't know if it is because of the ROM or because of this widget which doesn't work well...
PS: I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000.

Stock Froyo do not support OC/UV.
You need a specific kernel for that, go into DEV section, there's some here.
Carefully read every post in the desired thread before proceeding with the one of your choice.

[Q] Galaxy S Overclock to 1.2GHz with 2.2 JP6 Froyo Build?

Hi guys,
I've searched the forums and unfortunately have found nothing about the title.
Is there a known or upcoming overclock for the Galaxy S on Froyo 2.2? Obviously the Kernel Overclock below is only for Eclair but Froyo with 1.2GHz would be sweet!

Thanks!
the thing is we all use the samsung kernels and the froyo kernel is not released because firmwares aren't official so they're not forced to distribute the sources (leaks = mostly illegal - it's even breaking gpl)
i suppose u could get a 2.1 kernel to boot somehow, its probably mostly the init ramdisk which changes (?)
Until they get stable setcpu that works even with stock kernels overclocking is next to useless

How about now?
There is just one topic on this. And if you read atleast a couple of last msges you would know.
Just curious, is that overclock means drain more battery power? Then I guess it not good for smartphone isn't it?

Geeeezzz..... People here who want to overclock do not care about battery drain.
In most cases (use the Nexus One as a good example) they modified the kernel to undervolt to acceptable levels, and they were still able to overclock to 1.2Ghz stable. I saw no change in battery use when I had my Nexus One and overclocked with this UV method.

[Q] SetCPU Issue

I just used Autonooter 3.0 on my Nook Color. I installed SetCPU but it will not give me the option to overclock it past 800mHz. What gives?

You need to install an overclock kernel specific to your os. Stock os is Eclair. I like Dalingrin's kernel. Look in the dev forum to find it.
Have you flashed an overclock kernel like screamer or dalingrin's?
No. I tried that. The stock kernel supports only 800 MHz. You need to flash supported kernel to do that.
Search in development threads. i do not have enough posts to put links.

[Q] Problem with overclock Rom and Apps

So I flashed two different jelly bean roms that are overclocked to 1.3ghz, but when I checked my cpu speed on my phone one rom was 1.05 and the other was 1.1ghz. I would post this on the CN2 rom thread where I got the rom from, but I need ten post to even comment on there. Why is my phone not fully overclocking to the specific value?
Also I have tried every overclocking app from setcpu, setvcu, milestone, etc... and none of them actually let me overclock the phone they just let me move my slider to a lower value than 1.1ghz. I cannot get any app to actually let me set a new value for my cpu frequency. I am currently running the CN2 Jelly Bean rom.
Any help is appreciated.
anyone?
So I figured out the problem. My stock kernel only holds 4 or 5 cpu speed slots. I need a kernel that holds 7. I am having trouble finding one, or at least figuring out how to flash my new kernel through safe strap. It says failed when I try to flash a kernel I downloaded.
Anyone know of any kernels that will work with the CN3 Rom, I have been trying to figure this out all day.

[Q] Droid a855 overclock in 2013

first off let me say i am not new to rooting or overclocking. i have a original droid a855 and i have rooted it and want to over clock it, but the problem is that all the downloads i could find were megaupload links and we all know about what happend to that. so i was wondering if anybody knows where to get the evilboot kernals or is there and other over clockiing methods that will allow over 800mhz, Please help!!!! Thank You
Give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pt.com.darksun.milestoneoverclock
tried that
i already tried that and it only lets me get to 800mhz which is still better than 550mhz, but i want 1ghz. i started with this guide, it wont let me post a the link but if you google droid a85 overclock scroll down and click on the one that starts with *release* that is the guide that im trying to use
but all the links are megaupload i got the evilboot1ghz but i cant find the flash image indicated in the guide. and i flashed sp recovery and then it would not recognize the battery so i then i flashed FRG89G and that fixed the problem. but the cause of the problem was that i used a 2.1 sp recovery on a 2.2.3 install. So what i need is the 1ghz flash image that is in the guide and a sp recovery that will work on 2.2.3 please help. Thanks
Have you checked the custom roms for the droid? I'm not really aware of them as I own a Milestone, but in the Milestone CM roms, there is an option to set the min/max cpu values. It's easier and more safe than flashing all kind of hacks.
ya............

it probly is and by the way i was able to milestone over clock to go to 1.2ghz but its not a very good over clock and i realy wanna just do the evilboot over clock

I would recommend taking a look at Prime's deprimed kernel which can be downloaded from here, it allows you to customize the overclocking, voltage, etc. When my Droid 1 was my daily driver phone I used Prime's De-primed kernel and it offered excellent performance running at 1.0 GHz, other people have been able to stably set it to 1.25 GHz as well. For more information on Prime's De-primed kernel and how to use it's features I would recommend checking out this thread.
Sorry it took me so long to get back, That looks very promising and i guess ill try it out
ok so im running cm7 and i flashed the prime kernal and went to the terminal and typed "su" enter that works then "overclock" enter, says command not found. i tried reflashing the kernal, does the same thing. please help!!!

Your sure you flashed the kernel zip in recovery correctly right? I would also take a look at this post here from Prime that tells you how to use his kernel it's possible that the other features and scripts of his kernel will work for you.
i have clock work mod recovery and i install the zip from there and the i tried the comands but it didnt work, but in setcpu or the cm7 performance settings it will allow 1ghz and the bumblebee governer. So i dont know if i should just use that or what???????

If you see that options to use the 1 GHz clock speed and bumblebee governor are available in SetCPU then you can use SetCPU and that should work fine. SetCPU is what I always used to use to tweak Prime's de-primed kernel after flashing the kernel.
Thank You for the help , ive been running it at 1ghz and bumblebee for a while now and it is sooooooooooooooo much better than stock
