Hey guys I was over at the sgs2 forum and saw some threads about this. I'm a frequent gamer and would love to increase graphical performance

You will need a custom kernel.
If you look in the dev section there are loads to choose from.
Also, the dev of your rom (If you are on a custom one) will probably recomend one.

I think he is talking about GPU overclock, not CPU overclock.
Overclocking a GPU will often yield a marked increase in performance in synthetic benchmarks, and usually will improve gaming performance too.

Yes I know very much about CPU overclock. But I'm talking about the graphic processing unit. For gaming. If we overclock that our gaming goes up. And also I always have my phone overclocked no matter what

The thread I posted is about GPU overclocking, take a look!
The OP says that after research, he found out that GPU overclock is not possible in Adreno powered devices.
So, I guess the answer is no.
Yeah I read your link. I hope we can possibly come up with something though

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.

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.

Why, is it not fast enough already?
Seriously, though, to do any overclocking we first need a custom kernel. So far no one has released any yet. I've been trying to compile the kernel for I9100G, no success yet.

Maybe I'll give it a go if I ever get my kernel done. I've got it compiled and running, but no wifi. I think Samsung cheated with the source code. Some bits are missing or misconfigured, like the battery drivers. Just got that out of the way, so working on the wifi now.
Other than the CPU speed, I'm also interested on whether it's possible to overclock the GPU. Our OMAP4430 is virtually identical to the OMAP4460, but with lower rated speed. The SGX540 chip on the 4430 in running at 304 MHz versus 384 MHz on the 4460. It'll be interesting if we can make ours running up to 384 MHz.
Possible.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm still stuck at the Wifi. I've been tried to get it up for three days now but I don't seem to be any closer to a solution. Just wish someone could give me some pointers. Can't get started on any kernel modding until I get that sorted out.

Will try it if you release. No custom rom available but at least do have custom kernel to try.
wow good job
i hope that one day we can try a custom rom lol
there's some awesome roms for I9100 out there it's really a shame, is it that hard to tweak em a little for the I9100G ?

As far as i know, Almost every kernel apart from Speedmod and phenomena can overclock your phone. 1.6 GHz is the max I've seen.

WOW, do you want to be able to fry an egg on your phone?
IMO I definitely WOULDN'T overclock an S2 to 1.8ghz it's just stupid.
I did hear that the T-mobile version of the S2 can be overclocked to 1.8ghz but they're running the Snapdragon processor so it's competely different.
Want my advice? 1.2 ghz is plenty fast enough and won't damage your phone.
I play many many high end games on my S2 and I'ts played everything I've thrown at it without missing a beat.
I am intrigued though, can you pls tell me why you want to overclock so high?

Hey guys , thanks for clicking the thread. So thanks to you guys at XDA developers i managed to root my phone and unlock my boot loader on ics . So i downloaded this app called no frills CPU and i overclocked my phone to 1.8ghz .
The settings on no frill where:
max 1,8 min 1,8
governor: smartassv2 ( also tried on demandX and others ...)
I/O: noop
. I am on the stock ICS rom and i think i have doom lords kernel installed . So any ideas why the quadrant score is around 1400? . I've seen on YouTube etc people getting more than 2000 and some exceeding 4000. So just wondering why it is so low. DO i need to install custom roms to make it more faster? i did some searching about but i still dont get how people get such high scores. since i have overclocked my phone seems a bit more responsive but i have not seen a mega boost in speed any help?
for start change that minimal clock freq.! Do you have any idea what you are playing with?
if max is at 1.8GHz, why min should be also at 1.8GHz?? logic?
go max to 1.4GHz, above that there is no point on the long run..
1.8Ghz ...ur diggin ur own grave..1.4Ghz is more than enuf with a proper rom...nd bechmarks are silly..:silly:

Mate,a suggestion :
First of all ask such questions in General chat thread
Next,1.8 for normal use is like Frying your phone
Reduce to 1.4 for normal use,
And lastly,people who've replied are experienced guys and know what they are doin and when they suggest,I wouldn't like to go against and be a dumbass
There's a reason why people tell you not to Oc your phone of normal 1gHz to 1.8gHz !
Think it yourself n read more!
You'll figure it out sooner than later

I'm not sure if this actually increases battery life. Android uses as much CPU as it needs. Lowering the CPU may result more lag.
If you want to save battery, make sure your phone likes going into deep sleep .
