has anyone been able to overclock the CPU for the galaxy S past 1GHz??? Im sold when i found out that touchwiz can be replaced w/ ADW Launcher so i plan on gettin this phone next month.

wouldnt recomment it.. when we tried even just setting the cpu mode to on demand instead of conservative.. which doesnt even up the cpu.. search for the thread about it on here.

Don´t think is such a problem if long as you don´t heat it up.

Its easy to overclock this phone, I'm running 1.2 ghz right now with a custom rom, its a great phone and if you want to game its unbeatable in performance compared to other smart phones.

Why resurrect a question that was asked nearly 10 months ago and due to advances is not really even relevant anymore?

I have run my phone using the CM7 and Miui roms at 1.3 ghz using the bilboa or zacharius kernels and xans voltage control app (which also allows you to undervolt) with absolutely no problems. Admittedly the phone will get hot if try and play dungeon defenders whilst you are charging so don't!

[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?

I think 20% is noticable difference. Especially when using that crap of a browser we have.

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

[Q] Root and Overclock Question?

Hi there, quick newbie question for the Telus Milestone running stock 2.1.
Is it possible to root, just for the purpose of overclocking, and keep the stock rom?
I know rooting gives you superuser access, but do you have to change the rom for it?
Also, is there an easy step by step thats not 200+ pages buried in a thread? Ive looked, and am having issues.
I just want an overclocked Milestone

Nope. You'll want 3 things though.
1) universal root app (lets you root and unroot with no problems)
2) Milestone overclock (Should google this apk, not in the market)
3) setCpu (this u can pay for in the market or find it on XDA -donate tho to support-)
These are all reversable if you need. I did it to mine, but just couldn't find the right profiles for my use so I undid all but root privileges. I like the other appspot that opens for me.
Best of luck.

Yep I found it in the market thanks. And actually I've found my Milestone runs more stable at 1.2 then 1.0ghz, been running it about a week now.

I'm using the 80vsel. That's strange it crashed

Mine Runs fine @ 1.2 GHz vsel 80.
I've never tried the custom vsel rating though.

I can't run on 1.2Ghz 80vsel though...its not stable on my phone....how your battery life?I really can't feel my battery drain faster LOL

My battery life only needs to last for my commute of 90 minutes during the week. I plug it in once I get to work. Are you running another rom? I'm still running the stock one, maybe that has something to do with it. Ill find out this weekend when I throw on one of the Froyo roms.
On days when I need my Milestone to last all day I put the cpu back to 550mhz, and turn off my apns and gps. I still can call and text and that's fine when my phone isn't in my hands

No,I'm running the stock 2.1update1 : ) LOL I didn't overclock for the pass 2 dayd now...I'm going to test the battery life on 550 cpu..and then I'm going to tested with overclock..what rom are you using?

[Q] best overclock frequency for x8??

ok first hi everyone i am new here and i have a question...now i have my x8 for 5 months and i have rooted it installed custom ROM and overclocked it to 710 mhz...soo i was just wondering what is the best and stable overclock frequency that i can get on my precious x8...

710 MHz is stable for most users. Try to go higher to see the OC limit of your phone. ( maybe 729 or 748 to get better performance).
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

710Mhz is recommended .

Agree.
710 Mhz is the max frequency i can get without issues, going further instantly freezes and reboots my phone, using any Rom, any scaling governor, any oc module.
You can try to oc more, (without applying oc settings on boot!), maybe you're luckier

My x8 frequency is at 749 with ondemand govermor and its really stable , no random restarts no nothing weird , you can try it but make a back up first..

you forget you can't back up your cpu

yeah tried to go higher but only thing i get get is just reboot so 710 mhz is the best choice

But he can backup ROM and that will backup freq that was set before higher CPU OCing.So when he restores old freq will be restored too.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

thats right but it was ment in an other way.
you cant restore old settings or any with burned cpu

I think 710mhz is the best overclock frequency too.
because its the most stable freq, although I can go up for 748 mhz but I dont want to.(748 mhz stable for me too :] )

I use @ 710 Mhz my phone, and its very stabe.

stay at 710. and move up on the frequency scale until you get a hang or reboot. set the freq to the one before you got a reboot/hang and test for stability.
I use FXPOC Kernel which is open to 768Mhz and i'm lucky enough to have a cpu that's stable at this frequency.

710mhz is best. you can go higher but i prefer not to unless you have a kurnel or rom that is specificly designed for maximum limits, other wise 710mhz cuz thats most stablest for our x8. i tried to overclock it and i got stuck in a bootloop and i had to wipe my phone.

I set the cpu speed at Min748-768max
Sent from my E15i using XDA Premium App

Min 767.9 Max 768. It's stable for me.
But recommended 710
Using Fd experience 2.0.0

Im not so lucky like you guys, mine X8 got unstable at 710mhz so i ve changed to 691 and is going fine till now. Im using FroyoBread v023b by DX great rom by the way.

Bro use 2.3.7 gb because of that we can use those frequency
Sent from my E15i using XDA Premium App

Maximum freq. doesn't depend on ROM it depends on hardwer (we all have same CPU but some of us have CPUs with higher or lower OCing potential).

If you can only go up to 691Mhz, then it would be better NOT to overclock. the GPU cycles you lose due to the GPU vs CPU scale outweighs the gain of 91Mhz from stock in overall performance.
You can also try the attached module, which is more forgiving than the latest 04 OC mod. both by Dx.
BTW, be sure to set your CPU speed to 600MHZ and set this to boot o9n whatever your using for controlling your OC, since the stock speed for this Mod is 800Mhz.

Yes it depends,try the new 2.3.7, with stock eclair and cm6, I will never have those frequency

Over Clock on Glitch Kernel

Can someone tell me how to over clock with v14 B6 just where to set things at?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA

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.

I got it but the interface is confusing I kinda wanna one click thing lol
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

You're supposed to use NStools for glitch. I can't really tell you what's best for your phone though

glitch kernel POST 1 tells you what to use. if you didnt read that, i dont expect that you searched and read the MANY guides on xda on how to overclock. so im not going to tell you.,
