Found this app today and thought it was worth sharing. It can do a lot of things such as LCD color adjustment, Sound EQ, Memory Manager, Temporary overclock, Button Remap, Touch Gesture, and much more.
It is in the market and the name of it is Galaxy tuner.
F.Y.I this only works on Froyo
P.S. It would be awesome if one of you developers could change the temporary overclock to a permanent overclock just saying.
good find ill have to try it.

I tried this a while ago. According to a few development its not even overclock as I don't think its possible and when using a widget it doesn't show higher then 1ghz. Soooo. Adjusting LCD color actually distorts the color slightly IMO. The mice thing is its free and technically all of the fubtion do, do something.

If that is the case I am not sure exactly what it does. I do know that when use quadrant to benchmark when it is "overclocked" it added about 150-200 to what my score was and in linpack it went from 13 to 16.

Same here. Without the overclock option on, I get about 1500 with quadrant. And whither it on I get about 1900

Just wondering what rom and kernel are you running because right now it seems like no matter what rom or kernel I flash i can never get over 1000 unless I use the temporary overclock which then brings me up to about 1300.
Galaxy tuner is a great tool, so is super power from the XDA developers in the market and its free too.

Just really curious and off topic. Do you by chance, go to Georgia Southern? Because I do.
How can this tool claim to overclock the cpu without a kernel that supports the higher frequency? Sounds like snake oil to me...
I've used it in the past to get EQ for use with Pandora. But that's all i've ever used from it. Lately I've just been using Voodoo Control Bass Boost feature to adjust for different headphones that I use.
I have a question: why I can't overclock my SGS past 1.2 ghz. When I try to set for example 1.3 or 1.4 it freezes and I take out the battery in order to make it work again. Is there something I do wrong, is it a general problem with more SGSs? If somebody can , I really appreciate. Thanks
it is a kernel thing.
the kernel has to support those frequencies.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I tried with tegrak overclocking with voodoo kernel (the application itself doesn't need a kernal that supports those frequencies) and with Supe Optimized Kernel (1.4 ghz) and voltage control and setcpu and is the same result:freezing.
Not every cpu is capable of stable overclocking past a certain threshold. You have probably hit the max speed your cpu can maintain.
I agree with you but then why there are other people with the same phone as me that can overclock them at 1.4 ghz?
With CM7 or miui and either bilboa or zacharius kernel you can overclock to 1300 but I haven't found a kernel that allows 1400 either, I think those that are doing it are hacking the CPU settings themselves.
My phone gets really hot at 1300 running apps like dungeon defender so 1400 might just be a bit too much

Maybe a dumb question, but, do you overvolt as well as overclock? Maybe the cpu isnt getting enough juice?

+1... not sure if there is much benefit at all to undervolting.. it just seems to make it immediately less stable...
can someone shed some light?
I've seen someone test this on another forum somewhere, and the difference the undervolting makes to the battery length is negligible..

The principles of ovetclocking a PC also aplly to phones. Undervolting reduces the power available to the CPU. Undervolt a little and you'll save a little power. Undervolt.too much and the CPU won't get enough power to do basic functions hence freezing.
Every CPU has a limit to which you can over clock. You can overvolt to a point but then then the CPU reaches its limit.
From what I understand (read in another post) the hummingbird processors are not suited to overclocking. Where the arm such as that in the Motorola milestone clock really well. (You can oc a 600mhz milestone to 1ghz before you start seeing instability)
Hope this helped.

I understand the intention of undervolting as i am pretty good with PCs. Got my good old i7 overclocked constantly. But undervolting on the SGS has yet to show me any definitive advantages.

I've always been a big fan of undervolting. These are the lowest voltages I can get stable at these common speeds. I found I can underclock the Matr1x kernel further than some others I have tried for some unknown reason. How low have you been able to go? Also, what programs do you use to test stability? So far, I have been running Antutu test completion as a measure of stability. Any suggestions otherwise?
288MHz - 650mv

To increase battery life,
The Long answer is that the CPU has a number of parameters where Clockspeed (MHz) and voltage (mV) are two. Clockspeed, well that is speed. Voltage is related to the amount of energy provided to the cpu, undervolting means that you feed the CPU less juice but demand that it runs at the same clocks. You are essentially starving the CPU,it uses less energy, but can become unstable if the voltage is insufficient to maintain operations. Manufactures always have extra voltage as a safety margin so power users can check their CPU bin (slow, normal, fast or faster) and lower voltages step by step until they crash the phone during a stress test, increase the voltage slightly and boom, your phone uses less battery power while being just as fast.
I undervolt to reduce heat. It makes a significant difference. The battery saving is minimal, but the temperature difference is VERY noticeable.

Took words from my mouth. This this and this. It reduces heat, which in turn reduces battery use. UV by itself doesn't save a lot of battery, it's the consequences of it. I'm normally not a fan of UV, but with current N4 sw/fw it NEEDS it. It's way too high.
Interesting observation. As of recently my phone jumps up by 3-5c from 37-38 hover. Never used to do it before, not until i got it up to 50c for about half an hour last week. Previously it would stay steadily at 37-38, now it spikes up now and again during use. What's interesting about is that once it goes over 40c battery use increases drastically. So i wonder if people that have really good battery life don't have phones that go over that temp often and vice versa.
I haven't played around with the values too much yet, just a -100mV across the board. This seems to work just fine, so I might experiment some more..
Using Franco test-r69 at the moment.

I undervolt to prevent heating like others say. My Antutu scores drop like a rock when I'm at stock clockspeeds mostly likely due to thermal throttling. Now I can run it repeatedly without having scores drop. It saves battery and runs faster while running games even for very short periods of time, so I am a big fan of undervolting. :good:
Undervolt to reduce power usage, think of the stock voltage as normally being more than is required, think of running for a bus yet you have 2 minutes why waste energy when you can walk and still make it .
Undervolt for less power usage and less heat produced meaning battery performance is better (cooler battery is a more efficient one) and performance is up as you avoid any thermal limits in place .
Great stuff undervolting, I have managed to get -150mV across the board ( 1.5ghz @ 1000mV) and 288mhz is 162.5mV .
I came from a nexus s ... And one member of xda went to amazing lengths to show that undervolting really made very little differences in battery life ... And it def wasn't worth the instability .
He did loads of tests and I mean loads and basically showed that in helped so little that if you had a reboot you would use more power in rebooting then saving via undervolt
However . it is worth it for the heat decrease for sure

The more the heat, the faster the battery drains. Since undervolting decreases heat, im sure it should increase battery life. Maybe not for browsing or calling, but playing a heavy 3D game.
is it normal that the higher the frequency the lower the voltage in setcpu?

Former nexus s user here, the reason nexus s didn't benefit in battery life much was that it only had 1 core, and used a higher nm manufacturing process, 65nm -> 28nm. Lower voltages in the 28nm means that it multiplies the heat/power savings more than a 65nm, and the 4 cores multiply the savings by up to 4.

Greetings,
This driver is obtained from Qualcomm's 07 Aug 14 drivers for "Qualcomm Adreno 3xx GPU on Nexus 4, 5 & 7 devices running Google Android 4.4.4 KitKat".
All credits go to the folks at Qualcomm for making the developer version of these lib files available for us to play with.
This is for testing purposes only. Please don't flash without backing up first and then start screaming if something happens to your phone!
The package only contains files for Adreno 300 and 330. I cooked the packaged to be flashable on our SM-G900T or any SM-G900 with the Adreno 330 chipset.
I'm on a "XtreStoLite_G900T_ROM_v1.3_UVU1BNG3" ROM, which is a super clean/slim version of the stock rom. This is also Android 4.4.2, my AnTuTu benchmark results dropped from 37400 to 35800 after flashing this package.
I'm requesting someone with a KitKat 4.4.4 ROM to test this and report back their before and after benchmarks.
I appreciate your feedback,
Hmm, interesting.. I'm only on 4.4.2 or I would help out..
Turned out the 3D performance on antutu version 5 with this driver puts our phone one head and shoulder above everyone else!

It is updating the video (graphics) drivers. It probably improves the touchWiz performance as well (don't have evidence to support this), but what i noticed was a huge performace increase in the 3D graphics score. This will make games run alot smooter and more efficiently.
To clarify, this file resembles how your Mac/PC has a video card with say NViDIA or ATi video cards and they have their own driver releases. Our phones graphic chipset is designed by Qualcomm and it gets its own drivers as well. Hope I answered your question, and didn't make it worse!

In order to get any real "TouchWiz/Nova/Apex/etc" performance increase from it you'd have to flash this, then venture into Developer's Options and enable Force GPU rendering and Disable Hardware Overlays. And even then our device is so performance driven that you likely would likely not even realize the difference other than giving the CPU a break for a few cycles and possibly seeing a battery life increase depending on whether the CPU or GPU pulls more juice. These drivers are largely made to increase the 3D performance of your device when gaming and while it wasn't meant for us I'm glad to see someone took the time to let us benefit from it.
I'm going to flash it on an NG4 (4.4.2) release and see how it holds up to GPU rendering no hardware overlays. I don't game so if you want an objective test on that someone will have to pick up my slack. I'll report back when I know if it truly impacts it.
Tried flashing the update and ran into a couple random fcs for a few apps. Nothing device-breaking or anything, but I also didn't notice any real difference in performance or framerate in games. But I do appreciate you posting this, I'm always up for trying a little experimentation on my device to find something new. Thanks man.

Don't worry, I didn't forget about you. It takes a few days to really put it through its paces. But here is what you want to know: It works in 4.4.2 Touchwiz (Alliance Rom B4 for me)
Performance Increase in ROM function and control with "Turn Off Hardware Overlays" and Force GPU Rendering: Check
So I tested this by underclocking my CPU to the point where lag was perceivable in things likes app launching, keyboard typing, app draw opening, etc. I dropped it down to about 1200Mhz on all cores and then disabled HW Overlays. It was night and day. After the GPU took over rendering my CPU clock speed hardly moved all of the items previously lagging went right back to being fluid.
So does it help with Rendering in the ROMs? Yes, it definitely can.
The other concern people have is with battery life that goes with GPU rendering and the claims are that the GPU uses more power than the GPU. In my preliminary testing, what I noticed was lower overall CPU temps while Hardware Overlays was off, lower CPU clock speeds since it didn't need to render apps, and a small decrease in battery life.
In the power draw category I need more time with BetterBatteryStats and I need to adjust some variables. I want to underclock the GPU to the point of perceivable lag (if that is possible) and then I want to adjust the governor with KTweaker and see if I can't get better battery life. I will simultaneously lower CPU speeds to keep my core temperatures down and keep the battery cool. If these things are successful and battery life is interchangeable between the two, I may run the GPU full time for rendering the ROM. Keep in mind though, only custom kernels allow this kind of tweaking. If you use a stock ROM you are stuck with CPU and GPU clock speeds where they are so battery will drain faster.
Give me about a week to test my theory on this and see if I can find an equilibrium for CPU and GPU temperature and speed. I'll post the profile I used with KTweaker when I have my results. Until then, if you want to help and find your own settings and post them here along with battery life that would be awesome.
Edit: For what it is worth, to test application launch speeds and UI fluidity with the GPU I completely turned off system animations, I set Nova Launcher Animations Speed to Faster than light and scroll speed to "Fast" (personal preference). I got the same, or better response time using the GPU to render the UI.

I haven't tried it on CM yet, I'm about to flash the 09/04 build of CM11 by Albinoman with KT's kernel. But I won't flash these drivers prior to running the build 24 hours or so to make sure there aren't bugs that existed before flashing the files. So, if you've been running CM for awhile and want to test this build just nandroid, flash, and report any issues.

You guys make me sad. Benchmarks are not now, nor will they ever be, an acceptable means for telling you how capable your device is. Your scores in AnTuTu are about as capable of telling you your phone's speed as your ESN is at telling people who your phone belongs to. It is just arbitrary numbers that will fluctuate up and down based on the slightest inconsistencies.
Drivers, just like in Windows/Linux/Mac, are meant to optimize the performance of your hardware. That's it. This driver likely optimizes the GPU cycles to make it more efficient and lower heat output while performing better in games. You know why hardware review sites start out with benchmarks saying what it can do in a perfect world but still ends the review by telling you it gets 75 FPS in Borderlands 2? They do that because while synthetic tests are nice, what would be the point if our games don't play better? It is the same concept here.
I'm begging you, uninstall AnTuTu, re-install your favorite mobile game and just base performance off of whether it plays better or not.
Side Note: Drivers didn't appear to do anything in AOSP CM11 when I gave it a try. Sorry I am so late on reporting in, college takes up a lot of my time. Also, using the GPU to draw your applications does eat more battery whether you use these drivers or not. So there is no marked improvement from lowering CPU speed and using GPU only to render.

I figured since the OP stated he got less points in Antutu, I would go ahead and use the same app and test to compare...
F*ck me right?
Regardless, I don't notice anything different either, my stats are in the sig.
Anyone is able to do a kernel ( possible based on cyanogenmod) with overclock support?
If is possible, add the maximum overclock on snapdragon 820...

Anyone is able to do a kernel ( possible based on cyanogenmod) with overclock support?
If is possible, add the maximum overclock on snapdragon 820...

U can overclock with elementalX.

I already knew that? I'm not the OP. I were simply just asking why a OC is needed. That's all
I mean @gersdvges
Because oc improve games and apps loading

but elementar x only can overclock to 2.2 ghz
i know that snapdragon 820 can be oc over 2.2 ghz

This +1000
This phone/CPU/GPU handles almost all content the Play Store can throw at it with ease. You may have slight FPS drops with the odd game, but you are not going to rewrite history gaining 4fps from a marginal over clock and even then you'd be better over clocking the GPU not the CPU anyway.
I agree with others. This obsession with Antutu scores is utterly pointless. And overclocks are a monumental waste of battery in the form of heat.
This obsession is almost as annoying as the folk that don't use any apps and wake their screen every now and then too increase screen on time, to then boast that they managed 12hours SOT.

That is false... The storage solution is what makes things Load quicker and what governor/io scheduler youre using. Over clocking is useless and trust me I know, I've over clocked every phone of mine until I realized all it does is cause instability, less battery life and more heating. The only viable over clocking is the GPU.

Are you retarded? The phone's already super fast. But no, MUH MAXIMUM POWER FOR ANTUTU!
