[Q] UV/OC - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I'm a bit new to OC/UV and I need a little clarification regarding it. I'm using Onix Kernel on Andromeda3 overclocked to 1.2 ghz and lets say I wanted to switch the rom or kernel. Is it necessary to delete the settings? Do I just delete the app before flashing the new kernel/rom?

Nope, no need to uninstall the voltage control app. Just flash your new kernel and you'll be good to go. Be aware that if you open the app again on a kernel that does not allow oc, you'll get a friendly " bazinga" message telling you that the kernel is not supported.
Continuum 5.5 and existz's latest......

Thanks man, helps a lot

It is not necessary sometimes, But sometimes it is. Especially if the voltages for the kernel change at ll, that would make your previous 'stable' settings possibly not so stable- resulting in a bootloop or any other crashing. Its always safe practice to remove your boot settings before flashing a new kernel. If that kernel is OC/UV capable and your settings stick, but aren't good for that particular build- you may find yourself having to delete those settings anyway.
You can grab the file in my sig and flash from recovery if you accidentally save settings as boot- or forget to remove your settings- It's a nice gem to have on your SD card if your an Overclocker. NOTE: It will only flash in CWM3.x. So if your running a gingerbread ROM- you can use the zip file

help on Custom Frequency Config

im on unhelpful kernel v1.7 with cognition, with voodoo lag fix. i dont know why setcpu isnt detecting my freq_volt_table file. can someone please help me out, i dont know what to do. thanks
Flash a 2.2 rom with an oc kernel. much better and you don't have to mess with the freq volt table anymore or setcpu
newter thanks, would you kindly point me in the direction of which 2.2 rom on this site right now is the best and easy to flash? thanks
Purely subjective obviously but serendipity, docs, darkys, perception phoenix are all good as I am sure others are as well. Kernel options if you aren't happy with what is in the Rom are glitterballs and setirons which are oc/uv capable. Just look through the development section. They're all easy to flash through clockwork recovery and kernel swaps are a breeze with sgs kernel flasher app.

newter thanks again for a response. im looking at using phoenix. my question now is do i need to use odin to return myphone to stock and then download rom manager and flash the zip file? then how would i go about overclocking and underclcoking? and after installing phoenix can i use odin later if i want to restore my phone to stock?

Fastest kernel I used!
3400 quadrant, without overclock! Very snappy
Hi,
I'm coming from MCR fr17 Fear Kill edition 10.. it is using the 2.6.32.8 kernel.
My questions are as per below (Sorry I'm new to android devices and trying my best to learn):
a) When flashing a new kernel, I just put it in my SD card and flash it in recovery correct? Or do I need to perform a wipe before doing so? Need to clear any cache etc?
b) For those that have tested this kernel, care to upload the stable voltage for 1000 mhz, 1200mhz and 1300mhz?
c) What if I undervolted it so much that it isnt a stable voltage? Will my phone be a brick?
Thanks to all that take the time to guide a noob like me.

In Pimp my CPU, use the stress test to see if its stable. Use the settings without saving it so you dont boot with those settings. But just to make sure, make a backup of the rom if absolute everything f*cks up.

Currently I cant even run a CPU Stress Test. When I do, the application will be forced closed.
Do take note that I havent flashed in this new kernel yet.. Using 2.6.32.8 atm
I flashed this Kernel with Stock ROM, but I found that my existing Pimp my CPU not work anymore. Please suggest use with version is fine, Thanks.
Same, this kernel doesn't support PimpCPU I believe. Nevertheless, it's the most stable kernel that I've tried so far...
What advantages are their of converting to ext4? Looking for a good kernel current running modaco fr17 will this be ok?

I'm actually not looking for an OC, I was looking for a UV.
Sorry if it is a noobish question but wat advantage does this bring over stock kernel?
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
This kernel provides ext4 support. And a small fix I believe. So the advantage is a general speed improvement with phone usage.
Guys, my O2X just got updated (via LG PC Suite) to v10d. I already rooted it, but can anyone confirm if this kernel still works with it?

no problem. i hope we get an updated version of this kernel...
is this working for MoDaCo FR19 Fear Edition 12.2 ROM? because i get stuck at the lg logo.. or maybe can someone list down the exact steps to flash this kernel..

[Q] Please give me a little help on OverClocking... :(

I'm using the stock 2.2.1 rom and flash via RSDlite. The sfb file was from the top thread of this page. And when I use Androidiani 3.3 to overclocking my milestone, and reboot. The phone still running at 550Mhz. when I use Milestone Overclock to OC the phone, the phone can be overclock but without "steps". The phone can just have two frequency, 250Mhz and 1Ghz. Can anyone find out a prefect solution?
1. Is your phone root?
2. You can refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683451
1.yes
2.in milestone overclock it call me to use SetCPU...any other way to not using it?
Procedure to overclock stock 2.2.1 with AOR 3.3
Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu -> Install Mod - Conservative or Install Mod - Interactive
Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu -> Menu Overclock ( Choose the one you want )
Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu -> Install Mods Autostarts - not needed in many roms
Reboot Phone
ha great!! it works!! thanks!!
one more thing to ask, can I know the voltage level of the overclock setting? where can I edit it?

1) yes you can
2)glitch is my favourite....just my opinion!
Thanks, more comments
please more answers i want to change soon
Just give both a try
GTi9000 insanity cm012/glitch
I tries, but I dont see differences, it is why I'm asking you
What the differences between them?
I'm using Platypus' kernel - works great. When I tried to overclock @1,6GHz with the Glitch kernel, my phone freezes. With the Platypus kernel, I have no problems at this frequenzy, but just try both.
Be sure to have the kernel cleaning script and the voltage scheduler (if you use Voltage Control to oc/uv) on your sdcard, it can save your phone's life.
Ok thanks

[Q] Overlocking a SGS GT-I9000

Hello all
I just wanna know if there is any way to Overclock my processor
If there is.. i need the required kernel and programs please

I am pretty much sure you need to be rooted for overclock. Are you?
lots of kernels which allow for OC. Several programs that allow you to monitor and set OC available on the market, most have a free version that you can try and then buy the pro version once you have made a choice. Some kernels allow for more user control and variance, others are more prescribed -- a lot of it is personal preference and so much is phone dependent: no 2 phones are the same in terms of what OC or UV settings they will sustain.
Lastly, most kernels will have their own group of users and advocates. Some have experimented extensively with alternate kernels, some less so, but all will have a passion for the kernel that is their personal preference. There really is no substitute for your own trial and error. Download 3 or 4 and try them with a stock rom -- root and use sgs kernel flasher -- flash a custom kernel, set your OC and use it for a day. Flash another, repeat the process and continue until you find your preference.
Having found the kernel you like best, then set about flashing a custom rom that plays nice with your chosen kernel.
Take about a week but at the end you will know what you like best and why.
Between flashes, clean cache and davlik cache -- keep a good backup of apps on your pc or external sd, and even better, completely cleanse the phone between kernels -- that will standardize things and allow each kernel to operate on a clean system.

Yes i am, and i used a lagfix "if that make difference".
Sorry i know i'm noob but i'm afraid to flash into a kernael which is not oc-able :S
So do i have to know any precautions first? or the CWM is enough to restore the original kernel?
its quite easy my friend download semaphore kernel 1.8.0 and flash it via odin or recovery and after flashing just go to semaphore script manager change ur overclock values.......too simple
And then use apps such Voltage Control (in the market) to select speed & voltage of the processor.
Thx all i appreciate all your help
and for guys having the same issue here's the topic that helped me alot..:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966646
and i don't recommend OC the processor, "SpeedMod" kernel made me satisfied.
