I don't think that anyone has developed a kernel that allows overclocking yet.

Haha not just yet, we need some kernel devs first

Yeah, I figured that's what we're waiting on, I just felt like being impatient today though. ;-)

If its like the inspire, you can get to 1.6 easily on it stable.

Hope its like the g2 then we could hit 2 ghz

Can start once HTC releases the source packages which might be next week - could be a month - but we're at their mercy.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what overclock speeds we can get out of this.
I find it funny that we all want overclock for it tho. What can't we do with our phones right now that a 2ghz overclock will fix? ...I think I just like knowing its there.

Alot of overclocks on previous phones used lower voltage...which gave us LONGER batt life.

Smartass scaling and undervolt go a long way for improved battery life.

Can any developer explain how it is possible to make a CPU faster and more effecient on battery, and why don't the manufacturers just do this before they sell it?
I understand the basics of how kernels work, but I wouldn't think you could safely double the speed of a processor while keeping it undervolted (coming from the d1)
Do they purposely underclock the kernel and used the same processors in "new" "faster" phones?

Very true. The Thunderbolt is my tenth Android phone since November 09, and in every single case, scaling and undervolting have made worlds of difference in battery life as well as speed. I'm sure that things won't be any different on the Thunderbolt. Of course, the other thing that makes a huge difference is not playing with it for hours on end. New toys always drain batteries pretty fast.

Part if it is what the industry calls "yield", that is just because they produce 10,000 1.5ghz cpu's in a batch, doesn't mean all 10,000 can run at 1.5ghz safely and stable, so manufacturers have to go with the fastest common speed In order to not waste those processesors that can't handle the full speed. Its the same thing with computers and videocards.

I have noticed so far that running SetCPU for just the scaling now is helping with my battery life, so that's at least a bit of awesome.

It could just mean that the developers of Nexus S put a higher voltage at the higher clock speed, which also means that it kills your phone faster.

A newer device with (in all likelihood...this is a guess based on decades of experience with CPU's) a newer revision stepping of the Hummingbird CPU. CPU/GPU manufacturers are ALWAYS fine tuning their designs, primarily for higher yields and better stability. This plays out predictably in the desktop x86 environment with concepts like speed-binning and overclocking in that arena, so it should come as no surprise that this plays out in other areas as well.
Newer board layout with design experience gleaned from manufacturing a few million Galaxy S devices? Reduced capacitance and resistance issues due to layout changes, altering of support components, changing trace lengths...etc, so on and so forth. All of these things can play out for significant and measurable improvements in stability. Manufacturers learn as they "do", the same as we do.
In other words, there are all sorts of easily plausible reasons why.
These sorts of things all have a significant effect in the desktop/laptop system world, so there is no reason to assume they wouldn't carry over to the smartphone universe.

+1. You really got my hopes up reading that...
I realized overclocking would be a massive achievement for the X2... But is it even really necessary at this time? We are running 1ghz, dual core, tegra2 chips.
What app or game out there right now we cant already run smooth as butter?
Why is it wanted so bad right now is what I'm asking i guess. When i over clocked my d1 to 1.1ghz It didn't seem like a nearly 50% increase in performance even though i nearly doubled the clock speeds. Sure my quadrant went up but real world applications meh.

Ya, I Can't Wait To Watch My Phone Meltdown!
Even if we ever get overclocking most people probably wont do it, we just want to have the ability too, if anything i just want a tweak a few things
The biggest problem is that we need a kernel that supports overclocking. With a STILL locked bootloader, we can't do that yet. So no unleashing the beast just yet.

Well the night thing being that if we can over clock, that meeans that we can underclock and undervolt, which will hell battery life tremendously. Now, with that being said, I do hand to admit that Gingerbread has been funaminal with battery life!! Even with wifi on.

that would be sweet, i read that its only stable to 1.7.....thats what everyone keeps telling me as well. I dont think ive seen a phone yet hit the 2.0 barrier on a dual core!
what are the steps you use on your kernel. I know the stock goes from 1.18 straight to 1.5. did you change that so it atleast has 1.2,1.3 and 1.4? it also goes from 192 straight to 384. do you add a 200 in there at all. I think that would help with power savings. especially when it comes to haves a screen off profile. The phone gets a little laggy when you have it set to just 192mhz for screen off. its better when its 192-384mhz. But having a 290 or something in there would help out im sure and save a little bit of juice due to being able to set it to 192-290 or what not.
just wondering. i thought the stock kernel on the phone was a little odd in them regards. it really likes 1.5 and really hates 192mhz.
Yeah i haven't been able to get the evo 3d s3 to overclock past 1.7 without rebooting.

It all boils down to voltage, some devices require more voltage than others, some require less. My 3D handles 1.83 all day long, but I had 3D's running at 1.83 LONG before I even had one, remember, I'm on Verizon.

SetCPU, System Tuner etc. You need to have a custom kernel in order to change cpu speeds. If you're not sure whether you have a custom one or not, try installing one of those apps and if you're able to change cpu settings, you're on a custom kernel. congratulations

That depends on which governor you choose. I'm going to go ahead and guess you're on an Anthrax kernel. Each governor behaves differently, but only the performance governor locks your phone to the max speed you selected. I'd recommend intellianthrax or interactive, I personally use intellianthrax or lagfree. Lagfree is a really good one IF you don't overclock, but since you want to run at 1.5 ghz, I'd stay away from lagfree. If you use lagfree, your phone will rarely ever drop the clock speed down below 1 ghz when it doesn't need it.

Yes you are overclocked. 1.18 GHz is the stock CPU speed for our phones, so any number over 1.18 for the max frequency is overclocked

You are always using a governor, even if you don't have an app for it. The governor tells the phone how to use your CPU, basically. See where it says "ondemand" in that screenshot you posted? Well, ondemand is the governor you're using. If you click ondemand, there should be a drop down menu that opens up that gives you all the governor options available for the kernel you're using
thanks man

I like to use the virtuous overclock deamon, it is said to work better. But most roms have not implement it here.
tammyjustin, I assume you're using MeanROM since 486MHz-1512MHz / Ondemand governor are the default settings built into that ROM. I just started playing around with Anthrax kernels and MeanROM a few days ago.
A word of advice if you're going to be playing with overclocking... You need to be aware that you shouldn't use any overclocking tools like SetCPU with MeanROM unless you modify a system file first to disable the built-in clocking and voltage controls, or you can use only the built-in controls. I was getting strange instability with MeanROM before I realized what was going on with the internal clock management and SetCPU (which I have always used). Basically SetCPU and the internal clock controls in the ROM were both trying to manage the clockspeed and it was causing stability problems. Now I'm using only the internal settings and it is far more stable.
MeanRom ICS 2.4
Hey. I have been using meanRom for a while now, and the newest version (MeanROM ICS v2.4) is eating my battery too quickly. I was wondering if there was a way to disable dual cores all the time or reduce the processor speed to try and save some battery. I have never attempted to change max speed or change the number of cores being used before so i really don't know where to start.
I saw in inbREDed 5.2.5 they have a "Core control in quicksettings, change to dual/single core on the fly". Is that available to use in MeanROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that is correct. but I text a lot and don't need dual core while sending texts. I have to charge my phone twice a day right now. =\
I was hoping I could on the fly turn on / off dual cores or change the CPU speed.
With previous versions of MeanROM I only had to charge my phone at night. I have thought about down grading, but it's pretty stable right now, i just want better battery life. So that is why I wanted to change the CPU settings.

Mikey did say something about his next version (which will be based on the Sprint OTA when it finally arrives) will dial back performance a little to extend battery life. Maybe this is what he has in mind.
Here's my 2 cents.... Overclocking is great for speed but it cripples battery life. I used to be obsessed with OC and quadrants, but then I realized I can't tell a difference from 1.2 GHz to 1.8 GHz. OC can also make your phone unstable. Honestly you probably wouldn't need to over clock if you don't know much about it. So I wouldnt spend too much time worrying about it
Do what you want though cause that's just my opinion

[Q] Could anyone please help me out with overclocking?

I've already flashed two kernels in hopes of overclocking my Note 1. On one, it hung at the Samsung screen and on the other it booted (after doing something with each app) but kept showing force close messages that I couldn't close.
I really want to overclock my phone because it freezes a lot.
Also, I haven't had any luck with radios, either. These flash okay, but with dramatically slower speeds. Right now, I get on avg. 10 mpbs, but I've seen people with upwards of 50.
How could I do these things? Thanks.

I'm running Blackstar XI with AT&T. And I've only tried flashing overclock kernels, with no success. SetCPU lets me underclock, but the current kernel doesn't let me OC.
Kind of the same with the radios. I've only tried flashing them, with no faster speeds.
Are there other methods then these ways?

Well hopefully your flashing correct kernels for whatever ROM your running first thing ... And the 50mbps is probably due to the LTE speeds tmo released in a few cities ..

Alright, thanks. Maybe it's best that I don't OC it. Thanks.
I'm not saying don't over clock I just don't cause of battery drain ...... You can just watch CPU temperature and be careful ...maybe don't over clock to max just a little bit like 1600 or something

The only kernel capable of over clocking right now is ptmr3s kernel but I believe it only works with that hong Kong firmware. There are older kernels that can over clock but won't work with the latest cm merges. Like Shane said don't max out most notes can't handle it I never go higher then 1792. Over clocking is great but I don't think we will see a over clock kernel any time soon maybe look into scripts and tweaks.

Correct. If you want fast charge and UC go with Chris's. I personally have no need for over clocking. Under clocking is more beneficial.

That's great that you guys under clock you must save a ton of battery for the performance you lose wonderful. However he's not asking about under clocking. Seeing how every one is giving there opinion I'll give mine do you really save that much batery ? I don't under clock because my battery life is acceptable and if my phone gets low I charge it whether I'm at home car wherever. do you guys not have to charge your phones every day? So what is the point?

Under clocking does not reduce performance. Mediocre gaming does not need 1.5ghz if you UC to 1.2/1.1 your performance will remain the same... Out of the extra hour of battery life that doesn't reduce performance its kind of a no brainer. Anyways stay on topic.

Unfortunately we all have to charge through out the day cause Samsung didn't think to put a huge battery in a huge phone Haha .... A 3100 sized battery would have been ideal .... But that's another topic .. As for over clocking I would love to go to about 1600 on the ROM I'm on but I have yet to find a overclockable kernel for 4.2.2 ..well phase is touchwiz right ?
