oVerclock

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!

How to.fix charge death?

Hi! Quick Q. I installed setirons kernal 1.5.6 and overclocked it to 1.4. Put it on the charger last.night and when I.woke.up it was off and showed thw battery sign and 100%. I used ti see thus problem almost all the time but ignired it cause jt never applied to me. Thanks for.helping!

Try using speedmod's kernels on the link below. They have some kind of charge protection into them that says charge full when battery is like 98% or so full. This avoids getting full charge helping fix charge death.
Code:

Edit: Don't worry abt losing that 2%. These kernels are pretty battery efficient and make up for that 2% charge.

I think Designgears posted a work-around solution using SetCPU as well. You might want to search for that thread in the Development forum and see if that works.

Don't use an OC/UV kernel (see diablo009's speedmod link) or try the latest glitterballs kernel which seems to have fixed the charging shutdown problem.

I seriously need an.oc kernal or my phone lags terribly

Don't fret on OC/UV. I have SetiroNs 1.5.6 kernel. Have a quadrant score of 1350+. I used speedmod's kernels, n got a quadrant score of 1350+. None of these use voodoo. Nor do I use UV/OC.
All I did was to flash these, and convert the file systems to EXT4 (by default they are RFS). Do this and u'll find ur phone pretty fast.

Honestly, I think it was a freak thing, happened one night and that was it. Now its working like a.charm! thanks for your input!

What ROM are you running? I run Darky's 8.1 with Speedmod kernel, underclocked to 800MHz (conservative scaling down to 100MHz, no oc/uv), and my Captivate runs smooth as butter, no lag in launcher or apps, over 1200 in Quadrant (over 1300 if I remove the 800MHz cap).

Battery Use

I'm running the CM7 7.0.2. stable version and the battery life is just awful. I don't know if it's something I am doing wrong or what, but it drains fast and takes a while to charge. When I look at battery use on there it says that display is the most, followed by cellular standby. If someone can help that would be great. Thanks!

its like that for everyone.. they are curently working on the problem and have found the problem.. it wont be much longer till its fixed.

Ok great news. Thanks for the info!

Your not using set CPU are you that killed me then I researched ( looked at CM7 thread)
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

No I'm sure not. What settings do I need to keep in Set CPU?

I am not using SetCPU but I am OC in the CM settings menu and also see bad battery life but I expected not so great battery life. I think Set CPU is really bad in a CM7 rom.

agreed that's the only big downside to cm7. I think bat life is half is stock 2.2

Youre not supposed to use setcpu with cm7

Best Rom for battery life?

Hello Guys,
I'd like to know your favorite Rom ever for battery life, I don't care if it ugly or with bugs, I just want the best Rom for my battery.
thx
(and sorry for my bad english)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

you might wanna look more at a kernel that's is what makes the battery life better also reset battery stats in cwm recovery
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

I find stock roms have the best battery life. If you really want to push it, get a basic rooted kernel w/ clock speeds (semaphore), and underclock your phone to maybe 800mhz.

try using a stock rom and a good root (semaphore/galaxian) and use low light display and underclock the cpu

Thx guys, I'm gonna try that, (sorry to respond 1month later lol)

can you please explain more about underclock your phone to maybe 800mhz

I use simplicity with special configurations in the semaphore kernel:
- Underclocking to 800MHz
- Simple-IO
- batterysave Governor
- autobrightness to dark
- darker-Voodoo Color
I also switch off Network and Auto-Sync with help of widgetsoid (see market) when not in use.

Goatrip has the best battery life

Try the onecosmic's ICS I have an awesome battery life with it !

Hey, sindalf, what version are you running, I was on 2.11 using fugu(I think) kernel v3189, and my battery is not very good.

any rom with removed bloatware such as CM7 and others

try gamerz rom that is brilliant for bat life and removed bloatware

Back in the day that I didn't used MIUI ROM's I used Darky's and that battery life was great! Also the ROM was blazing fast.
Last version I used from Darky's was 10.2 or something like that (V10 for sure). Had about 2 till 3 days battery life. With slightly less usage than normal. And i must tell you that when I flashed that ROM i jys had a new battery.

lagging even though over clocked

I'm using rocket rom v23 with Abyssnote kernel version 4.2. And overclocked to 1.4ghz with ondemand using SETCPU. I don't have any background running application other than background data and gps enabled all the time.
For past week my phone is very slow and i need to wait for couple of seconds to let the app open. Why is this happening and what is the resolution?? I don't have any issue in battery. And also I don't want to loose any app's data.

Overclocked? But it's already 1.4 ghz.

Which launcher do you use? How many apps installed? How many widgets placed on your screens? And beside that just a simple hint: look forward for ICS...the lag will be gone immediately

You mean the official update? How can you be sure it will vanish the lag?

It is clear you have done something to the system.. even a stock note performs better than this.

REMOVE all the profile in setCPU if you had one.

I like this.

Lag is in most if not in all Notes !
My Galaxy Note also have lag problem
I have GS2 and Note and GS2 is like bullet on Stock gingerbread ! Just open app booom opened ! I think it's because GS2 already had a bunch of patches and updates to the OS comparing to the Note !
So I think the only way to fix this in Note is to wait for ICS !

Try rebooting into CWM then clearing cache and davlik cache. I had similar problem with another ROM gradually slowing down and wasn't sure what was causing it. Clearing the caches sorted the problem.

I have overclocked a few phones in my past, but the Note? Really its so fast and all works super smooth. Maybe with the right ROM where the dev already pre-overclocked it... But setCPU was never working great for me. Maybe just my opinion, but wipe, and get yourself a good ROM. No need to overclock this beast.

There is no lag "problem" per se. period. Stating there is a "problem" makes the assumption that there can be a fix.
You cannot fix the inequality in display processing between the S2 and the Note, given that the Note must process 2.6 times as much information for the display as the S2, so it will ALWAYS appear to be not quite as fast as the S2, given it has similar hardware.
So given you cannot get a gallon of beer in a pint glass, making it a different pint glass (ICS) wont help.
Now, sure the appearance of "lag" on the Note can be minimised thru tweaking optimisations, but note (small n) that the same can be also applied to the S2! Essentially, never in a month of Sundays will two devices with similar hardware, one of which is doing 2.6 times the work, ever appear to operate with the same UI zip.

The thing is...I don´t have any lag at all. Even with stock. BUT I can see a huge difference (on Stock rom) between TouchWiz and alternative launchers. Touchwiz is smooth as butter, whereas Go Launcher Ex shows a small lag (and it´s the fastest GB launcher alternative afaik.
And beside that: Currently I´m on Stunner (ICS) and here it is even a better experience. Absolutely no lag or waiting time, never, period.
I can´t sign the statement anymore, that the note is slower than a SGSII...I have both of them, and on Stunner it´s quite the same experience

Yea may be this is because of the launcher am using (ADWlauncher). I think I should try some other launcher.
