Overcloaking sgs - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I'm just wondering if any one recommends overclocking my galaxy s
Will it give me good performance boosts?
Has anyone done it?
Thanks

yes if you overcloak it with a magical red clock it will dissappear.

I don't recommend to overclock your phone, just think: is really necessary?

Lol sorry i didnt realise i was writing Cloak ....man im an idiot
I was just curious to see if any one has done it..

iv been using SOK for a very long time now, and the OC never affected my phone (probably on the long term u might say/think but i know this phone wont last a lifetime with me)
speed wise u might not feel a lot of diff, lagfixes will speed up ur phone but when u need that raw power an extra .2/.4mhz will definitely help out. I rolled back to test how speedmods kernal was doing and man can i tell the diff between an OC and just a lagfix with no OC.
P.S
and as for the cloak , invisibility is the only option ? LOL

Help me out with my captivate

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?

Stupid question but why would you put oclf over voodoo
Captivate
Cog 2.2
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
Captivate
Cog 2.2
You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're a troll and you didn't really put OCLF on top of voodoo.

That was a sarcastic way of saying take one of the lagfixes off.

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

Just my 2 cents but make sure you read up and understand Setroin before you flash it
Captivate
Cog 2.2
Yup just did, I gave cog with SetrioN
Kernel, its working out great so far, thanks a lot.

Lagfix question

This may be a completely stupid question but I've been flashing roms for a while now... Tried pretty much every rom for the captivate and I noticed that lagfix makes my phone lag.. The only thing "better" seems to be quadrant scores.. Is that normal? Am I missing something? Lol any input would be great.. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Oh I am currently using apex 7.2 .. And I disabled lagfix .. Is it ok if I disabled both settings in cwm? Just want the best possible settings.. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Don't worry about quadrant and linpack scores. Just focus on your experience on the rfs and ext4. Which one do you think is better? Personally I use rfs because some people say it saves battery, and it does not get corrupt as easily as ext4. But really its your ppreference.

[Q] Hit the 5 month mark, should I finally root and lagfix?

I have noticed that when I click a button, I usually have to wait from 1-2 seconds before I get a response. Would lagfix take care of this? I'm running stock Froyo.
As many have stated all the lagfix does is help fix the very slow rts file system, it most likely would not help in your case.
Best thing to do is delete unused apps, and reboot the phone every day or to(seems to help mine out, cant guarantee results)
Also if you havent needed root in 5 months you probably don't need it
Unless you want to use opitimised roms, I dont see why you would need to root. Check your memory usage delete unused apps and reboot the phone ever once in a while.
My honest opinion, no reason to have an android phone if you are not using roms

Gonna have to agree with mcord here. had to go back to stock froyo for about 5 hours (didnt have all my tool to get back my 2.3.4 ROM) and it was horrible.
you might not be up for it but i really recommend flashing a Froyo Custom ROM from one of the xda DEVs. you'll love your phone and be amazed that it can be so much smoother and responsive.
First thing I did after i rooted was flashed a new kernel to overclock. Performance increased but battery life was poor. Then my first rom was cm7..been hooked since..tried miui once then went back to cm7.

This is what lagfix can do for your phone.

Providing arbitrary benchmarks does not seem like an actual reason to employ a lag fix.

No a Benchmark score is not the best example to lag fix your phone ,but the more power you get, plus better battery life and, better perrformance are great reasons to lag fix your phone. I just posted the quadrant score so kb0npw can see the increase performance from normal rfs file system to ext4(lag fix).

I dont think he thought it meant everything, he was giving a simple before and after which showed some improvement. Quadrant can actually be pretty useful when trying to gauge what effects certain changes have on your phone, say you score a 1900 before you change 'x' and then 2200 after that change, then you know its increased performance somewhat and youre moving in the right direction. How much it has increased your performance is debatable, however. My point is quadrant can be a useful tool when making changes on your phone if you take it with a grain of salt.
EDIT: To answer op's question, Read up on some custom roms and flash one, the difference is phenomenal and you'll wonder how you went 5 months without them. If you have any other questions feel free to pm me and I'll see what help I can be

Overclocking....

Any overclocking kernel for the lg thrill yet.....
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
Not yet. Do you NEED one?
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
Undervolt would be more needed right now, I don't think I need to squeeze anymore performance or battery life out of this thing. Once we get updated on GB and other things... then yeah overclock will be good. OC kernel right now would just make everyone complain even more about battery life.
Undervolt would be most excellent at this time
I'm not really worried about battery life my phone is plugged in 99% of the time because of my job just wondering if anything is out there that I missed or something on here

seeing as this is an LG THRILL 4G thread and your sig has a xoom and inspire, ill tell you something about the STOCK kernel..
you cant undervolt on this phone.. maby on the inspire.. and i remember that setcpu didnt really undervolt on my ARHD inspire but whatever..
as it stands... untill someone makes a custom OC or UV or both kernel for the thrill, we just have to wait.. the only custom kernel i know of that kinda works is for the O3D but even it isnt OC or UV enabled..

so, again.. NO.. no you can't
I am assuming the Dev's are waiting for GB to get rolled out on this device before going ahead and messing around with an OC, UV kernel. Considering once that roll's out you would have to redo and remake a New Kernel which I would think would kinda defeat the purpose of making one at the moment considering GB "SHOULD" be out anytime now I think lol.

from what I've been reading on the Thrill development and O3D development forums, it has to do with the framework that LG uses..
the O3D and the Thrill uses a new tri- something system.. dual core + dual channel ram alternating between each other.. blah blah blah..
see.. the roms/ kernel that are out at the moment are basically the latest release of froyo that lg put out, with some mods done to the asthetics, and debranding or removing all the att apps that nobody really wants anyway.. no major re-programming has been done yet.. (devs are still figuring out this new system, or dont care to figure it out till a more familiar/popular release has come, namely Gingerbread or ICS..)
not to mention that the 3D aspect of the two phones requires its own kernel and as of yet, flashing another kernel on top of an existing one simply replaces the kernel.. the 3D needs the 2nd kernel to be flashed alongside the 2D kernel..
those two points are additionally preventing an OC or UV kernel since... well.. it would need to be re-written.. and since, as I have said.. the framework is still being figured out.. well... we'll just have to wait.. lol
at least thats what I have gathered from reading pretty much EVERY post in the two development sections..
The kernel source is available through LG. If someone wants to take the time to add in the ability to oc it can be done. I'm sure the same applies to UV (though I've never tried that on a kernel personally). I've looked into OCing the stock kernel a little bit and couldn't figure it out. Not quite as easy as it was on my Aria. The CPU tables were laid out real clear for that architecture. Not so much for the omap4 architecture. And I have as of yet not found anyone who's been able to help figure it out. I put it aside to concentrate on porting gb, which has been very slow rolling due to time constraints.
As for waiting for gingerbread, the kernel wont change since we already have the gingerbread kernel. Whether or not this kernel will be compatible with ICS I have no idea.

[Q] Kernel for exhibit 4g at 1.8ghz?

hey guys i herd there is a kernel for this phone that makes the phone overlock to 1.8ghz i cant find it can anyone link the thread to me if there even is one thanks!
They were before, but it is unstable and it fried CPU's so the devs dialed them down

Why would anyone want that? It'd be better just to go ahead and run over the phone with a bus. There's a reason the OC kernels got dialed back by devs. BTW it doesn't make the phone that much faster either. If you need 1.8 another phone is the way to go.

It strictly helps with lag IMO. I just like how my apps run smoothly and I can run multiple apps without the phone crashing & rebooting. Far as battery there is no app or tweaks that will help if you use 4.2. In fact I got rid of my battery apps as they all just eat memory and do things any user with common sense can do.

so did you determine that v6 supercharger is not necessary for our phones if using the latest version of NOS? i only ask because in your sig you used to have v6, but now it's just baked bean with nos.

Thanks ill try that. But by battery life, i meant like does nos make it even worse? Or does it not affect battery life at all? And i have found greenify and juice defender to help A LOT for saving battery.

Greenify is OK but your main battery culprit is Gnow/Maps. Technically Greenify is supposed to be able to hibernate Maps but that is useless as Gnow needs it quite a bit so it gets awaken a lot. I love Gnow and choose to live with that as I use mass transit and those features are needed. However if you don't, then disable Maps and that will increase your battery somewhat.
Far as Juice Defender and the like, they are a joke IMHO. I used Juice Defender for over a year (they haven't updated the app on over a year either) and just like a lot of them you only save battery if you let it disable data and Wifi when not in use. I don't really care for that and can turn those on and off at will myself. Trust me you will see these battery apps are all smoke & mirrors.
Far as NOS consumption of battery, seems to have no effect one way or another.
