[Q] Overclocking the captivate - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I'm using Apex 10.1 and talon 0.5.1-RC1.
I've downloaded tegrak app but I don't find the option to overclock the phone,
I set the max frequency to 1.3 and it just checking stability and does nothing.
How do I overclock my phone?
Thanks

I think you can find a kernel that handles OC with free apps for a I9000 roms. But on Tegrak (wich emulates) load the drive, set OC and thats it.

Try using control freak or voltage control,

Use control freak, it's linked in the talon op, also make sure your using a version of talon with oc scripts.
It usually has the max clock speed in the name of the kernel version. I.e. talon-5.2.1-1200 for 1200mhz

Overclock help

Hey guys I flashed my cappy with phoenix ultimate and flashed onix 2.0.1. For some reason with setcpu my cpu doesn't overclock past 1120 mhz it used to go to 1300 mhz :/

hmm.. could it be the kernel having the limitation? Usually these OC/UV apps will show what the kernel is capable of being clocked to. You coud try another app- but if you had a kernel that went to 1300mhz and that hasn't changed.. you should see the 1300 step.

Cpu/gpu/ram optimization

Can anyone pls tell me which of the following app is better for CPU/RAM/GPU optimization for Galaxy Note ?
SET CPU, TEGRAK OVERCLOCK, ROM TOOLBOX OR ANDROID OVERCLOCK... ?

set cpu + widget works great, you can change profile and voltage as well
you just need AbyssNote Kernel 1.5
I heard that tegrak not working

[Q] Gamerz kernel and setCPU

Hi
I have install setCpu on my touchpad (64G) with the latest nightly (cm-9-20121111-NIGHTLY-tenderloin)
It seems to work fine and stats tells that i am up to 1.5GHZ.
I have seen on the forum the GamerZ kernel tuned to OC the touchpad.
Question is simple, is there a benefit from installing this kernel or setCpu is enough, or both are meant to live together ?
Thanks
Well, there is the GPU OC, which really helps with fps if your TP can handle it...

So if i install this kernel, there is no need for setcpu ?

With the GamerZ kernel you'll be able to OC to 2.something ghz and the GPU will be overclocked
SetCPU is used to adjust the frequencies.

Freezes when overclocking.

So there's the problem. If I overclock my phone to 1.2GHz (or 1.4), it freezes at some point when using it (it can freeze on first seconds of booting up or it can freeze after few days). Battery pull is necessary to reboot it, of course. After that it's working agian but there's a question of time when will it freeze again.
Running CM10 stable, Mackay kernel, using NSTools to OC.
Sent from SGS GT-i9000 using magic.
Some phones (like mine) can't handle too much overclock. Most phones can only handle 114% OC to have still stable operation.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 C-RoM Mix v4
Kernel: Mackay 0.232
Baseband: I9000DXJV9
How do I set the lower value of hertz? Is there any other OC controlling apps for this kernel?
Sent from SGS GT-i9000 using magic.
Sorry, in Mackay kernel the intermediate OC 1100 & 1300MHz were removed by its Developer due to instabilities being experienced by users.
If you want a lower OC, you can use another kernel like Semaphore and Devil.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 C-RoM Mix v5
Kernel: Mackay 0.232
Baseband: I9000DXJV9
LiveOC or normal? Hardly any SGS handles any more than 114% LiveOC, but if it's not then you might want to try devil kernel for OC stability...

Mine is solid at 124% live oc using semaphore
My semaphore manager app doesn't even let me go past 120%
124%, that's great, but most of what I've seen here and heard from friends makes me think you're one of the lucky exceptions...
Do you adjust voltage?

I used semaphore +nstools without adjusting voltages. Definitely my phone is a lucky exception. It could handle 1.6ghz overclock using glitch kernel (which, sadly, isn't supported anymore)

[Q] how to check if kernel worked

i flashed a 737 OC Kernel by einstein.frat, i just wanted to know if there was anyway of finding out if it worked. i ran a AnTuTu benchmark and got a score of 4035.
You can get an app like setcpu it no frills cpu to check / change the max frequency .If the max freq is shown as 767mhz then you have successfully flashed an oc kernel

I guess you can also use the free CPU Master by AnTuTu to check your speed.
