[Q] How to overclock stock ROM? SetCPU shows max as 600 - Optimus One, P500, V General

I recently rooted my O1 using Ginger break. It rooted successfully. Now when I installed SetCPU (which I downloaded frm xda), it shows the maximum freq as 600MHz. I am on stock ROM and don't plan to change it before seeing the official Gingerbread release. I just want to know if it is possible to overclock on the stock ROM using SetCPU or any other tool.

Install a custom recovery and flash a custom kernel (such as franco). Do not ask how, covered in multiple places.

AFAIK the stock rom doesn't allow for overclocking.

As already said above in my post (and also in my signature), overclocking is a matter of kernel and not of ROM.

Need help with set cpu

So I finally got my phone rooted. I want to download the set cpu for root. What would the ideal settings for me be? Im rooted with ryans lag fix, no custom roms or kernel. Thanks guys.

Well if you want to OC then you need a custom kernel... Other then that 200/1000 (W/O Custom Kernel) 200/1200 (W/ Custom Kernel)
And DONT click "Set On Boot"
if you don't care about the battery drain, I cranked mine up to 1000mhz constant or use conservative. powersave is incredibly slow.

Honestly Set CPU is not nessisary because the Galaxy S CPU scales automatically in other words if you need 1ghz it gives you it, but if you need 800mhz it only gives you that etc...That being said if you want to underclock the best speed it 800mhz and if you want to overclock you should go to 1200mhz (1.2ghz). To overclock you will need a custom kernel.

Why don't you want to set it on boot? Does this mean you have to reset when you boot?

[Q] help to overclock cpu

Guys i am new to android. I have rooted my phone recently. Now i want to increase the speed of cpu. Is there any apps in market thru which i can overclock my optimus one p500 running on company installed android 2.2.
I have tried setcpu software but was not satisfied with the performance.May be i have gone thru some wrong settings.
Please help.

Look, either the CPU gets overclocked or not; other than that, SetCPU or any other method has absolutely no influence on performance.
Read the sticky threads before asking more questions like this because if you had done that, you would have known that with stock kernel there is NO OVERCLOCKING!
Thanks for quick reply
I am not aware of this kernel & custom roms.
I have seen in this forum if u install kernel u will get good performance.But i dont know how to do this? can u provide me some link?
u need to flash custom recovery first
then flash roms and kernels that u like...
i suggest u flash amonra 2.2.1 recovery...
Just read the tutorial on the very first page.
Btw check out CPUtuner on market. Its free and is very much customisable.

Which kernel is better ?

Hi,
I realized these 2 leads kernels :
SpeedMod SGS2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182498
Ninphetamine-2.0.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179814
Which is the best for your opinion and what do you recommend ?
Neither try them both yourself .

Ninphetamine-2.0.2 is the best and optimized kernel for all custom roms....
am using it now...

The best kernel is stock KG3 right now. All those custom kernels are based on outdated KF, since that's the latest released kernel source. None of them solve the Android OS bug either. I tried them all and returned to stock.

Can you post a link for stock KG3 please ?
Can I install it over Cognition 1.31 ?
Right now I like Lulz-Kernel-Build-11-for-I9100-XXKG3 . Before i used Ninphetamine-2.0.2 it was good also.

Me too. I haven't received any proof, that Ninphetamine is better.
Now I'm trying lulz. 24 hours flight is normal. At least it has better CPU power and clock management.
Ninphetamine is VERY fast, i'm trying to find something fast as it is.
Beside I can use setCPU to customize the clockspeed, I don't see any advantage if using customize kernel.

At least SGSII is already as very fast as you can't get it from it on 100% yet.
By default Ninphetamine uses ondemand CPU Profile. So, I hadn't noticed notable changes in speed with equal settings.
Battery life stayed the same, apropos.

setCPU doesn't provide for you any notable improvement in battery life. Undervolting (UV) does. So, setCPU on Ninphetamine provides UV. But the best way IMHO - is Tegrak Overclock Ultimate - it's capable to change voltage of the Core, Bus and GPU. And of course it works better on author's kernel (lulz - it means tegrak kernel).
Unfortunately, setCPU is not fully compatible with all kernels and vice versa - Tegrak is not compatible with all kernels.
If you recommand the stock KG3 kernel, may you post a link please ? (can't find it).
Thanks.

Its in the stock KG3 firmware .
Download Extract Zimage flash via Odin or CWM .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
note many many users confuse kernel with firmware its not the firmware only part of it . the bit that interfaces at the lowest operating level machine code as it where .

Nothing against you or the developer but its 100% placebo effect, The S2 is extremely fast that I doubt even kernel changes would matter or even slightly affect speeds, sure you get over 9000pts in quadrant but no real world increase, w/o the voltage controls you cant tell the custom kernel from the stock kernels apart.. Unlike during the S1 days.

Can you tell me one app or game that runs slow with the stock ROM and kernel? This is a very fast phone anyway. It runs everything very fast right out of the box. No need to go playing with voltages and clock speeds and risking bricking the phone.
These alternative kernels are just for -my quadrant score is bigger than yours- type of users and have no real life improvement over stock.
When I moved from an old stock kernel to Ninphetamine-2.0.2 I saw a big difference with the application invocation speed. Even clicking the keyboard was very smooth and without any delay unlike the old stock one.
Maybe it's because the stock kernel version was older I'm not sure , but this is real.
Try this.

Sorry for the noby question, but the stock KG3 kernel will remove the cwm recovery i got right ? so, if I want it back I will need to flash a custom kernel again ?
Well, just flashed SpeedMod.
Extremely slower than Ninphetamine

Change what setting? The kernal will come with its default settings when you flash it
ok, i just was confused, since i have seen alot of comments about changing their voltage setting to over clock and under clock. i wasnt sure if they had a default automatically. kernels are the one thing that confuses me.
Kernels will have default voltage settings and (usually) are not over, or under-clocked by default. If you want to change those values you'll need an app like voltage control.
thanks i'll look into it. would it be best to read through the posts under the SC3 Rom to see what would be a good voltage setting to run with?

I have been running SC3 milestone2 (AWESOME btw) for a while as my daily until the bugs get worked out on ICS. I use Leankernel however because my phone had display (color and lines) with KGB. LK comes overclocked at 1.2ghz. It is fixed, whereas KGB can be overclocked more (up to 1.7 but you most likely wont get past 1.3 or 1.4 and be stable).
If you want to flash kernels an wasy way to do it is with SGS Kernel Flasher (free in the market). It will back up you current kernel so it makes trying different kernels easy.

SetCPU on S3 stuck at 1400mhz

Im using Omega Rom v23 and i just installed SetCPU.
Can someone explain how i go above 1400mhz? it wont let me choose a speed higher?

You need custom kernel. But dont have any custom kernel to work with JB what you can overclock.
Enviado do meu GT-I9300
use an o/c kernel.....no I won't suggest one
Go to development and read
As far as im aware omega 23 is custom stock rom. JB ect.
to unlock overclocking you would need a a new boot.img withunlocked overclocking
that wont be out for JB roms until the source is released.
You would have to install a earlier rom if you want to use a costom boot.img with unlock overclock.

What Kernel does that ROM come with? Is it the STOCK kernel? If so, you CANNOT overclock the STOCK kernel at all and can only overclock CUSTOM Kernels that have that ability built into them.
More info from you is needed...
It seems the JB Rom from Omega doesnt have this overclocking unlocked
