I want to overclock my N7000's CPU and GPU. Please guide me how to do it safely. :cyclops:
N7000 Intl
Kernel: PhilZ cwm6 v5.06.1 with CWM 6.0.3.2 based recovery
ROM: SlimBean 4.3 (Official Build 2.2-1745)
Your kernel has to allow you to do that and you have to use a program like cpu master, or You can search for overclocking in the settings.
Sent from d605
So, what kernel allows you to do that?

The only way to overclock the n7000 worth mentioning
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tegrak.overclock.ultimate&hl=en
For gaming, i recommend:
Also, depending on how you use the phone you might want to underclock(and/or undervolt) the cpu (to avoid thermal throttle) and overclock the gpu (400 mhz works great on my phone, compared to stock 260)
For browsing the web and stuff like that:
consider overclocking the cpu to 1500-1600 (even 1650 has proven possible on my phone.)
try NX kernel (only for 4.2.2) or speedmod kernel.
for me samsung latest update is better for gaming because it has updated driver for mali (and you can use Titanium backup to freeze samsung's unwanted apps)

I am on asylum rum.
However, on this ROM, my GPU does not scale properly. So for gaming its not great.
NX kernel is great for gaming, unfortunately it's a bit dated.
In my opinion cm 4.3-based Roms work well.
But , changing ROM does not have as big an effect compared to overclocking the GPU.

I have only 600Mhz.
I cant overclock only underclock, even with OC-Kernel.
The problem is on Stock Firmware 2.3.3 and Costoum Roms.
Is there a Hardware-Bug or what else?
Not all chips are made to the same quality. They only have to reach a certain clock speed to pass quality checks. Certain devices can be overclocked due to being of higher quality.

Yes but the default clock of the ACE is 800Mhz right? But MY default clock is 600Mhz.
I dont have any options to overclock only from 124Mhz - 600Mhz.
The default clock of 800Mhz would be ok for me..
You sure its a ace? Galaxy fit / mini & 551 / europa are 600mhz MSM7227 vs 800mhz MSM7227-t 800mhz galaxy gio / ace.
Yes! Its definitely a ACE i have the Samsung box here .. and there are a big label Galaxy ACE "800Mhz CPU"
Which rom are you using? Did you have the same problem on stock rom?
Do you have setcpu, if you do go on Info ; CPU what does it say ; Cpu Part / Cpu Revision / Hardware / Revision ?
If problem presist then go to Samsung service centre and change your phone dude

Hi @Cr0nFixXx!...
It would seem to me that your problem is your Kernel... The details in your first thumbnail show the kernel to be that of a different dev to @Ketut...!!! Your OC Kernel details should read as this : 2.6.35.7-perf-CL562111 [email protected]#4
The frequencies of the Cpu are governed solely by the kernel, so this is without a doubt your limiting factor...
The below kernel is tried & tested by thousands of users & is stable under OC...(check my sig for details)...
You can download this kernel from my dropbox here : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44779766/cm-7.1-oc-kernel-2.6.35.7-perf-CL562111.zip
Flash this kernel from CWM recovery... Reboot phone, go to cyanogen setting/Performance & you should get the full cpu range for OC...
To see stable max OC set governor to "Performance"... Remember, only increase cpu frequency a little at a time & test for stability before increasing further...
Only when you have found your max stable clock speed can you tick "set on boot"...
FYI : OC kernels can only be used with custom roms... They will not work with stock roms... @Ketut's OC kernel will only work with CM7.1 / 7.2 Roms... Do not try with any other rom...
Stay Breezy n Be Lucky...
Pe"ACE"...
Thanks for your help but .. same problem
I even cant get it to 800Mhz Default Clock

Hey Dude...
This is a very strange problem indeed... The Armv6 cpu is standard 600mhz cpu but samsung factory OC it when it is used in our aces... so we end up with an end-user frequency of 806mhz... Yours won't even reach that out of the box...?
Do me a favour... Flash this rom here : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44779766/IceCreamSundayFinal_Tweaked.zip
It is IceCreamSunday Final by @Jusada... It is considered the fastest & most stable rom available on XDA & the OC kernel is inclusive of the rom...
Once flashed, go to cyanogenmod settings, performance, cpu & tell me what frequencies you get offered...?
FYI : It doesn't matter what your baseband or firmware version is... Ensure that you are using CWM 5 to flash with... Also ensure that before flashing you do a full system, cache, data, Dalvik wipe to ensure a clean flash... This rom is 7.2 btw...
Stay Breezy n Be Lucky...
Pe"ACE"...
I dont know whats my phones problem but it dont worked for me -.- even max. 600Mhz...
But great thanks for your help!
LoL the first thing that entered my mind is "maybe samsung forgot to overclock" my suggestion is go to samsung and tell them to overclock that.. or simply say it's defective
approach samsung and get new phone..
man if it showing 600 dont overclock
as overclock can damage your cell
be happy with what you are having

but he should get 800 which he paid for
hey wait isnt ace's cpu like the 600mhz ones but only OC'ed to 800?
I'm done explaining
A fault with the processor probably.. ARMv6 anyway has 600Mhz by default and Ace has been factory overclocked to 800Mhz.. which is the simple reason why each Ace is so different and has so many problems regarding battery life. Overclocking is a delicate procedure..
To the point:
Just take it to the service center to get what you paid for!
hi guys,

You should probably check in the Alliance Thread if it's supported and works ok, but I remember from my GB days that Abyss 4.2 (Redpill Touch) was about the best kernel you could flash for our Note...
Also when you say "overclock to 400 MHz"...I suppose that you're talking about the minimum frequency. You can overclock your minimum frequency with mostly any kernel that has root.
I use AnTuTu CPU Master from the Play Store. It's free and really easy and intuitive to use.

The only one I know of that allows GPU over clocking and voltage control is Thor kernel. Not found on xda as the creator is persona non grata. Google it.
I use the app Voltage Control to specify frequency and voltage settings, very useful. Give it a try.

To my knowledge there are no specific kernels for the same. But you can use Notecore (Over Clock Version) on ICS roms only(Not on cm10 or AOSP/AOKP) and BBRQ3 or Ani kernals on cm9/AOKP/AOSP that supports overclocking. (Warning :- Overclocking may harm your hardware. It is a dangerous operation. Use it At Your Own Risk.)
SINCE YOU ARE ON CM10 YOU CAN'T USE THESE KERNELS I SUPPOSE.
Any kernel that can be overclocked for performance with suitable voltage settings that can support the cpu and gpu can give you a great gaming experience. Notecore kernel is an excellent kernel for stock ics. But jellybean cm 10 is just under development so you will have to wait for a performance kernel.

Antutu v5.2.0 on my Droid 4 with Slimkat 8.8 and Lucize jbx kernel scores 16504 @ 1300mhz CPU / 384mhz GPU, and with the CPU fully overclocked to 1404mhz it scored 17112
1200mhz is stock on the CPU and 307mhz on the GPU.

It has to be the "JBX" kernel, lucize has decided to remove this file from his post for some reason, I've attached it to this post. It's based off dtrail's JBX kernel for the motorola RAZR, you can flash that kernel to the device too but I found the radio signal level would read wrong, so I have always used this one.

You need to be rooted and have a recovery installed like TWRP / safestrap, you install that kernel zip just as you install a third party ROM through recovery. If you just want GPU overclock don't bother, the increase from 307 to 384mhz only increases GPU performance by maybe 5%, it's purposely set to 307mhz stock because the GPU is bottlenecked elsewhere (ie: memory bandwidth), 384mhz increases battery drain and heat without much performance gain.

After much testing I could only get 1391mhz 100% stable, regardless of voltage settings. Could get 1.5ghz to benchmark, but never fully stable. It does speed up the phone quite a bit, but the biggest improvement is simply using a debloated ROM with every APK removed that you can.

thx for your post.
I will try it and if its working without any problems it comes in the next version
Sounds interresting what GeeckoDev found out. Looks like the new freque. also goot for non playing Note 1 users...
57hz - 59hz is completely safe. If you go beyond that, bootanimation will start to derp (turn off/on the screen once it's fully booted and you're good to go). Also you will have no access to the recovery. I only experienced that on AOSP, though. On Touchwiz I could go to 62hz without a problem. 64hz is fine with the workaround above.
It improves smoothness and lowers latency by quite a good margin (~17ms at 57hz, ~16ms at 60hz, ~15ms at 64hz).
Also, good luck with your kernel!
Had to go back to forest 1.90. On Your kernel cannot use gallery

Hello Bauner
First of all thank u very much for a great kernel. I have tested the non OC and OC 1.5. Everything runs smoothly except for stock video player that got busted with the OC'ed vers just like forest's. I have yet to test battery as I have just completed one battery cycle. Will update if there's anything pops.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Free mobile app
I also test it for 2 days on DU Rom and it is working smooth. I'm using the non OC version but it seems the kernel loves to stick on 1.1 and 1.4 speed which is why the battery drains much faster.
I also noticed that when Wifi is on and while screen off, it seems to drain also much faster, while on stock it consumes about 150-170mah on this kernel it consumes 230-250mah.
What I'm happy about this kernel though is that it seems to resolve my issue with Dynamic Colors on DU as I had no single reboots while using it. On stock kernel I had reboots when using Dynamic Colors.
Is there a way that instead of always using 1100 speed, it will use a lower frequency like 800 or 900?
Many thanks for the kernel!
Thanks bauner for the great kernel.my note now more energized and smooth after flash with oc1.5ghz tw....antutuscore got 17k..also problem on whatsapp memory leak seems resolved now :beer:

did you try to close all running apps and then check again?
if tehere are running apps that makes i/o can make this kernel running on higer frequencies because my modifications on ondemand.
you could try to use an tool like no-frills cpu control and try another cpu governor like pegasusq or conservative.
with this tool you also can see how long your cpu was running on every frequency

Thanks! Will test maybe tom and change my governor to pegasusq. Hopefully when on normal use it will use a lower frequency instead of 1100. I'm using BetterBatteryStats to see how long each frequency runs and the majority is 1400, 1100 and 100.
About the higher consume of battery, yes there is one app that was running and it was FB messenger though it was also running when I compared it to the stock kernel from DU.
I'll give feedback again once I'm done with testing.
with my rom+kernel it doesn't stay at high frequencies.
the attached screenshot was made a few minutes after boot complete
It says it couldn't mount storage/sdcard0 when trying to mount in recovery.
