[Q] Overclocking the Galaxy

Now that the kernel source is available, won't we be able to overclock our mobiles?
Guess i got a little bit envious with all the overclocking that has being going on with other phones.

A bit of using search never really hurt anyone before...

So is it possible yet.

Been possible for last 3months. Just find a kernel with oc support and get setcpu. Frankly its not worth it as setcpu is a piece of **** app that make your system unstable. As other poster said. Do a damn search

But for froyo? Maybe is asking for it.

maybe someone with the tallents could have a look into this OC method they use for droid x and milestone using a kernel module, this would enable us to overclock any froyo kernel.

It would be nice to have it in the kernel. 100 to 1200 that the system controlling like it already do. No setcpu crap.

also setcpu is not to blame for the problems, as it runs just well on galaxy i7500 for overclocking. i´m not sure what the problem wit it is on SGS, but i´m pretty its not setcpu´s fault

The problem is that SGS doesn't like different CPU governors! It will only work if you don't touch the governor settings! At least that is what I have found to work in the Eclair builds!

Seems ignorance is bliss for some of our fellow xda folks. SetCPU is not even needed for those oc kernels unless you want to change scaling from default schema. It really don't contribute to the unstablity, just that the kernels seemed inefficient.

I agree. Don't install SetCPU and the kernel is reasonably stable, but crashes miserably when running cup intensive apps. We have to work harder developing a kernel which works well for our hardware.

kernel was very much stable. It is just that hummingbird is bad for overclocking. Not all phones can be overclocked, sadly.

I can understand what you are suggesting, however why was it still unstable when I tried to disable 1.2GHz or 1.13GHz frequency keeping the original scaling and running at 1GHz or less??

Is that 0.2 bump really noticeable?

dont know which version you used.
1.13 was quite old. All recent versions were 1.2. Anyway, nevermind =)

Yeah, do want a OC'able kernel - the 1.2GHz kernels for Éclair were always stable enough for me if I didn't try to UV it.

Id be open to using a 1.2Ghz OC if its 100% stable and no wake-up bugs and ofcourse should not affect the life of my CPU that much and should not drain my battery more than 10% faster

I just installed voodoo and then used oclf, but now my accelerometer is all jacked up, anyone else have this problem or know a way to fix it?

I saw it on a forum, and after I did it it went from a quadrant score of 1600 to 2300, so it works but the only thing that doesn't work is my accelerometer

What Rom are you on? The only suggestion I can make is to remove one of the Lagfix. Or flash back stock. I would search the thread or even just Google your problem. Someone may of had the same issue and found a way to fix

You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're a troll and you didn't really put OCLF on top of voodoo.

Don't put OCLF on top of anything.
If you're interested in something faster than voodoo, check out SetiroN's kernel and/or the ROM's that use it. Such as in my sig.

What's the quadrant score on that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Quadrant score has nothing to do with how it performs.

The last two lagfix options in SetitoN's (or stutzy's) kernel are basically the same thing as oclf over top of voodoo - though the on only thing that would be good for is quadrant scores, won't really notice much of a real world performance dif. And that kind of lagfix combo is really going to cut into your available space on your data partition.

Then what would you recommend performance wise
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Honestly you sound like a noob and SetiroN's kernel requires a certain skill level to install / debug because it is still in alpha stages.
Just stick with Cognition if you want my advice. It is plenty fast, has a great battery life, and automatically works with Voodoo. And it is fairly stable. OCLF on top of it will not help.
In my experience SetiroN's kernel has better performance but takes a cut in the battery life and also has some wierd bugs.. you don't have full functionality in every way... lots of people like it... but if you want my recommendation it's going to be a lot of work for you so go with Cog instead. if you go with setiroN expect to put in a number of hours learning how to get it working.. and expect a few people on that thread (not setiroN) to flame you if you post a question about hwo to get it working. last night there was a lot of drama. larger point is you will probably get criticized there from a few bad apples.

I am a noob, but I can figure stuff out, I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I am currently running Cog rom SetiroN's kernel with jfs advanced all jfs lagfix and I am happy with my phone's performance.
Don't know if this is the best performance or not as that is somewhat subjective as to what will rework best for every one on their own phone with their own configuration.
My recommendation is run what you want to run on your phone. If quad scores are important oclf type lagfix's that make some type of buffer that sets on top the data partition will always outperform in the quad's input/out bench mark and get overall better quad scores, but the buffer wil take up valuable space on your data partition.
The only way you can know for sure what works best for you is to try them out, do some actual time trials and stress tests with the apps you use and pick which one you like best.
What ever lagfix you choose make sure you know how to properly disable it when needed before you actually install that lagfix.

Ok cool, I really like cog ill try putting SetrioN kernel on it, thanks man

How to get amazing cm7 battery life?

I'm rooted running cm7 with the tiamat 1.1.4 kernel and get quite good battery however nothing like I have seen some people talking about. I know my phone is going in to deep sleep
However is there any settings in cm7 I should be using to make the battery life longer?

Well I'm on cm7 and 1.1.5 (I've not noticed any difference between 1.1.4 and 1.1.5), and I get two days on a charge. I don't have facebook/e-mail or many other app syncing and I don't turn it off at night or anything like that.
I've seen people saying they get longer on a single charge but then you usually find out they're switching it off or putting it on airplane mode over night or something.

Just wipe everything in recovery. When I installed CM7 after a few minutes it automatically started downloading my apps I'd had previously installed. There were a large chunk it didn't work on but they showed up in My apps in the market so I could just click on to download again.

no. the key here will be the right amount of under volting. dont go berserk. just reduce it to a small amount and check. minus 25-50 seems fine.

Use incredicontrol to undervolt to -75 and change wifi sleep policy in advanced setting to never. Did this with cm7 and got great battery life. Now using miuiandroid im at 70% after 19 hours of medium usage. It's amazing. No lag what so ever. Don't use tiamat 1.1.5 though, use 1.1.4, way more optimized.
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App

yes tiamat 1.1.4 performs better than 1.1.5.
however you can try lord clockan's cm7 kernel. some users have found it even better than tiamat.

Tegrak overclock setting help needed!!

HI!
I recently flashed the Fasty III rom and I like it, especially with the spb 3d launcher...
BUT it's running SLOW and lagging alot and the battery drain is tough...
I got tegrak overclock premium/ultimate and tried to make it run faster with hopefully less battery drain...
I tried 13000mhz 1275mv core and 1100mv internal but then the phone started getting HOT when i was playing Words with Friends -_-....
I tried other settings but none seem to work that well...
Does someone have a good configuration which will let me rin it fast without the crazy battery drain and over heating?
Thank you!

Don't OC that high? Lol try 1.2ghz and try uv as much as you can per step.

Try Voltage Control
easier to set up

Not possible unless he changes to Corn 7.x. And either way he NEEDS to figure out how much UV his phone can take.
Edit: @OP I would bet you're lag is because of the launcher. I used Fasty before and ran decently on 1ghz.

I also think that the lag is created by SPB 3D Launcher as that launcher use a lot of ram.
@OP try using a different launcher like GO Launcher and see if you're lagging or not?

Thanks for the advice everyone!
OK first these are the things I've done since the post...
I am now running the corn kernel v7.06... with syscorp(default) tweaks, smartassv2, sio and tegrak disabled ATM...
I have frozen spb thru tibu and am using LP sense pro....which was my original launcher btw...
I have recalibrated the battery and wiped battery stats...
I am still getting lag...most noticeably when a call comes in while using a different app...cant answer the call since it freezes up...oh and hanging with friends seem to lag A LOT for some reason...weird...
My battery Life is atrocious! I am getting like 4 to 5 hours with light use...display is using 79% according to battery mgr ...
Does this sound like I have something wrong in my setup or is this a bad flash of the rom?
thanks for any advice!

Over Clock on Glitch Kernel

Can someone tell me how to over clock with v14 B6 just where to set things at?

There is an app called "pimp my cpu" (I believe it's in the market) that will allow you to easily overclock the Glitch kernel. Might want to give that whirl.

Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA

I don't have it on my phone right now, but I believe all you have to do is open the app, pick a maximum cpu frequency (e.g. 1400 MHz) and long-click on it. It will pop up "set as max", and when you click that, it will put that as your max speed until you reboot.
If you want to go farther than that, you can create profiles that will load on startup, and tweak the undervoltage settings, but for a simple overclocking, you're actually in a good place with PMC.

The best one for glitch kernel is the nstools
