Does anyone know when Galaxy S II AT&T kernels may be available for 1.5-2.0ghz goodness and/or custom roms that are faster than the stock?
LOL they released the source and CM7 works supposedly but it is unusable compared to stock.
yeah and until someone has a break through moment I am waiting on rooting mine cause I see no benefit yet... I am usually the one who roots mine the first hour I have my phone...
1.5 is over kill phone runs fine on 1.2 haha

I'm personally not as worried about oc as much as efficiency and uv. I agree it runs just fine at 1.2

We already have a kernel with power management fixes (such as codeworkx's cpuidle fix). UV coming soon.
OC not planned from me but designgears plans on doing that and I'll maintain that code as a branch in my repo to try and minimize fragmentation.
You will never see 2.0 GHz OC. Just like the previous single-core Hummingbirds, the highest system bus clock divider is 8. Since the system bus is limited to 200 MHz and does NOT like being overclocked (even going to 205 can cause major stability issues), this means core speed is limited ot 1.6 GHz.
As to when custom kernels are available - jeez, didn't you even bother to do ANY research and reading before you posted?

Actually cm7 is working pretty flawless. Some people had issues while others didn't with calls and the sound, BUT that was fixed with today's nightly update from Atinm. Plus it does run super smooth (smoother at 1.6Ghz than the stock Samsung and the same if not better at the 1.2 clock speeds). Also it will be available on Rom Manager on the next nightly it looks like.

He claims 2.0 GHz with zero evidence to support it.
Considering that we still have the same core clock divisor limits as the S5PC110 and S5PV210, I find his claims difficult to believe.

Kernel matters rolleys.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Yes, Its due to kernel only. And not to worry so mush. What FK has given us till now you can use @ 768, It's not bad at all.
lol binodray, u know about android or ur just acting like u know??
we cant overclock because the msm7227 in our device is connected to cheap cables and busses and probably cheap ahb or something...
thats y some people are able to overclock to 806 and some people are not able to...
No dear I don’t know anything.
On a short note
The MSM7227 is ARM 11 family 32bit Qualcomm MSM7225 processor. This series seems to run PLL2 at 1200MHz, which is why they are capable of running at 600MHz. (1200/2 binary thing).
what is over clocking?
Over clocking typically refers to running a CPU at a clock speed higher than that for which it was originally designed. And the kernel is told that it is being run at a higher speed (In realty it’s not).
Why phone crash?
When phone generate very high voltage due to increased clock speed we have kernel panic in result.
How we solve this?
As far as I know if dev can alter UV table in kernel we can have processor with 1728 which is 864. This means there could be one kernel supporting OC frequencies up to 1728Mhz (lets say 1728,1600,1500,1400,1300,1200,1120), and user could choose which ones he wants to use (eg 1400 and 1120, disabling the rest).
Hope this will make you clear why we need kernel and why OC is based on kernel codes.
My phone is running on CM7 Beta 3 and I want to overclock it to 1.5 Ghz I followed the inscructions here http://bugbig.com/how-to-overclock-motorola-atrix-4g-to-1-5-ghz
and when I typed on the emulator : ''insmod olympus_overclock.ko'' it was written : insmod: init_module 'olympus_overclock.ko' failed (exec format error)
I'm running on Faux's kernel (faux123) so what can I do to overclock my phone to 1.5 Ghz ?
Thank you in advance
Why 1.5? What's magic about that number? Doubt we will ever see 1.5 on Atrix. Dual core already gets hot enough at 1.1 and there is no cooling available. Different to a single core OC.
Assimilated via WinBorg 4G
that guide is extremely outdated. the kernel module you're trying to use was released before the bootloader was unlocked, and as far as i've read from Faux123 there is something limiting our ability to overclock that we just haven't broken through yet.

A few things to consider.
May be the kernel you are using is not meant to work with CM7 Beta.
May be you are following the steps but the guide itself is broken.
May be you are trying to OC your phone to 1.5 GHz but the script is broken.
You said you are running Faux's kernel, well that kernel is only taking your phone to 1.1 GHz, how and why do you expect your phone to magically OC itself to 1.5?
Just 2 cents : I agree with CaelanT, this phone is a Monster itself. When you OC your phone to 1.1, it just bloody flies... Whats the need to OC it all the way to 1.5? Also, while OC'd, it heats up like a *****... I have seen my phone temperature reaching > 45 degrees... Man, it feels like a burning charcoal... I am just wondering if one will actually end up blowing up his/her phone just cuz of OC'd phone.
I actually keep mine underclocked...
Cheers!!!

Hi,
If there is a limit on clock frequencies, in my experience that implies a multiplier register needs to be changed. But a 50% overclock is rather ambitious, 10% is probably the safest range.

Excessively overclocking mobile devices - is an incredibly stupid idea,... unless you have no problem getting a hardbrick one day.
Try overclocking your desktop PC up to 50% without additional cooling and let us know how it goes. Phones have NO cooling, they weren't meant to be overclocked that much.
Besides our current Tegra 2 setup has enough performance for everything available on Android at this moment.
If anything is lagging for you, that's because:
1. Motorola released crappy laggy motoblur
2. some app developer released crappy laggy app
Why does overclocking always turn into a penis measuring contest?
Focus on software optimisation, not on more raw performance to make up for crappy code.

SGS2 starts out with dual core 1.2GHz, so technically you haven't reached a .5GHz OC there. Even if you did, comparing the SGS2 to the Atrix is apples to oranges.
The problem with the Atrix is not only whether the hardware will OC to 1.5GHz. Heat is the biggest problem, and with very high temps on a 1.1GHz OC under load I doubt as I mentioned before we will ever reach 1.5GHz.
I don't know what temps the SGS2 processor gets to, so I can't comment on that.
1.1/1.2 GHz is quite fast enough for me, and as someone else said, it just turns into an epeen war, with no actual rhyme or reason for wanting to OC so high other than to see if it is possible, which is all good and well.
I can OC my PC way higher than it currently is, but I choose a conservative approach because I do not want to fry any components, have graphical artifacts, etc. Same goes for my phone. I want stability and to not have to wave it around in the air to manually actively cool it!

From every ROM I've ever seen they never say the GPU has been overclocked. That requires Kernel modified.
Everything I've seen states "GPU Tweaks" which I believe only means they've tweaked the amount of memory allocated or the MPAA settings. Which is just a simple prop edit.

i have 2 kernels - 1 @ 300 and 1 @ 320
How the andrino 220 stack up now,compare to the iphone 4S one and the mali 400,any answers will be greatly appreciated.
I am looking to buy a new phone,i don't like iphones,my current one is a Vibrant,so i am thinking about the Galaxys 2 from T mobile.
But since it use a 1.5 qualcoom cpu and andreno 220 GPU i don't know,since i don't know that GPU well,i don't know if it is weak or not,i love the Vibrant GPU it was quite ahead of anything until the Tegra 2 arrived.
Let's summarize for a second here:
The Qualcomm CPU is built for 1.5GHz, but underclocked to 1.2 GHz to save on battery and heat.
The Adreno 220 is underclocked to save on battery and heat.
The Adreno 220 is anywhere from ~5-50% faster than the Tegra 2 dependent on the benchmark/utility/application
The Adreno 220 (even underclocked) will perform so well that any mobile game out today will run without any perceived negative performance that is humanly detectible.
The Adreno 220 performs so well that the above will still be true for any mobile game that comes out between now and the time you get your next device
With the above facts true, there is effectively zero reason to currently want or need to overclock the GPU. What reason did you have to want to? Just to say you did? The way I see it the perceived benefits can't possibly outweigh the risks. I'm not sure (without doing the research) but I believe the Adreno 220 is still the best performing GPU on the market.

Hi guys! I was just checking out this thread in the Bionic section and they have an overclock without that many prerequisites. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439013All we need is a rom with init.D support and tekahuna's "symsearch.ko" and "opptimizer.ko" modules.

Ha, funny. Given the RAZR is factory overclocked to 1.2ghz, I suppose it's to be expected. I've underclocked mine to the 1ghz the chip is rated for to save juice anyway.
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
razr is not overclocked versus the other omap4430 1.0Ghz devices. Parts are tested in the fab, and the ones that can do 1.2g without crash andd without heating a lot are selled to be 1.2-compatible. Other are only 1.0G approved.
It means also that overclocking a 1.0 to 1.2 may cause crash and excessive heat.
For the 1.2G parts of the razr, don't expect great overclock. the omap is more enclosed than in bionic and is already reaching the thermal policy barriere that underclock it when intensive use. If you clock the opp-max over this frequency, you will hit the barrier faster and then finish by using lower opps most of time...

Interesting, so not all 4430s are born equal? Is there an actual variant thereof rated at 1.2, or do they actually test every single chip individually? I wasn't implying it's unstable at 1.2ghz, and hardware design does of course come into it as you've said, but as far as I'm aware it's the exact same chip that TI rated at 1.0.
Perhaps 'clocked higher than the chip has been generally rated for by its manufacturer' is a more accurate description than 'factory overclocked'?
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
hmmm.. this is all very interesting. I feel like the OMAP 4430 in the Razr should be at more capable than 1.2ghz. My OG Droid ran stable at 1.275ghz and it had a 3430 which was built on the 65nm chip process vs the 45 in the Razr. I must say 1.25gz as a max is quite underwhelming. I was hoping this bad boy would at least be capable of 1.5ghz.

I feel the same, but reality is cruel
I read some time ago on a tech website that the 4460 (1.5) and the 4430 were made from the exact same materials. The only difference is that the ones that hit a very high threshold at 1.5 were stamped 1.5. 4460's. It's not that the 4430's couldn't do 1.5ghz , most could. Just that they couldn't run the benchmark all the way to the end the amount of times needed to qualify. Odds are that any 4430 could do 1.5ghz and probably stable. We will never stress it out the way these benchmarks do.
Does anybody know if this hack could actually work and allow us to overclock our device. I think we can worry about how far we can overclock after we get an actual overclock lol. Would anyone be able to rewrite the "symsearch.ko" and "opptimizer.ko" modules for our device so we can get an overclock on our device?

No rewriting necessary. It was developed on a RAZR. Available in the download section of the OPPtimizer site. 0.1 modules only adjust top frequency. 0.2 modules adjust top frequency and voltage. As stated on the homepage, symsearch.ko is the creation of Skrilax_CZ. In case you don't know who that is, he's the guy who got 2nd-init functioning for all of us.

Very true, and something to consider the when overclocking OMAP4 devices. They don't clock as high as some would think. Although, I'm not so sure that the lag that most people are describing is the thermal policy kicking in. I've noticed that this lag can be cleared up with additional voltage, and not exhibit the behavior of getting clamped down on by the thermal policy. For example, 1250MHz on my Droid RAZR at stock 1.375V, is flaky, bump the nominal voltage to 1.388V, and it holds, and up to 1280MHz without the lagging condition.
You appear to be well informed on this subject. Good points you raise!
Lol. I'm still trying to understand the fact that we had a overclock this entire time. I never found one on the forums but I guess we had the tools available all this time. I honestly didn't know we had one.

The kernel modules were only recently release. Some early testing was done in the LG Thrill community, as that was my original test device. Development was stalled a little by issues which I now realize were with the LG Thrill's kernel itself, rather than what I was doing. Got a RAZR on opening day and was able to come up with some code I feel comfortable releasing. It's only been available to the public for about a week now. I think some RAZR's will hit low 1300's... Don't know about much more.
Does this work? Is there a script for it? I have init.d support on stock from a bionic init.d cwr zip from droidrazr.com that works. What would a script look like to change voltages/ect?
Nevermind i see...its in the download section on link.
How do you run it or setup?
frostincredible on RootzWiki has created some flashable zip for Bionic, but they only work for my 0.1 modules that only support frequency manipulation. I have 0.2 modules that control voltage as well for Droid 3. You can open up his zip file and get an idea how to get things going with init.d... You can actually use his script, and just modify the echo line to say "echo 1122000000 1388000 > /proc/opptimizer", to send a voltage value, along with frequency.

Page 2/3/4 on the official thread also has some info on init.d scripts for this.

CDjones over on DroidForums.net also started a good thread with some useful information:

Not the same device, but same idea.

I read some time ago on a tech website that the 4460 (1.5) and the 4430 were made from the exact same materials. The only difference is that the ones that hit a very high threshold at 1.5 were stamped 1.5. 4460's. It's not that the 4430's couldn't do 1.5ghz , most could. Just that they couldn't run the benchmark all the way to the end the amount of times needed to qualify. Odds are that any 4430 could do 1.5ghz and probably stable. We will never stress it out the way these benchmarks do.

This is not true. OMAP4460 and OMAP4430 are different chips. E.G. there are [email protected] and [email protected] the fact that the 2 products exists should be enough to say there are different.
I reckon they are not drastically different, most of the things are common.
So has anyone gained any noticable performance improvements with this? Also so it can 0nly be OC'd to 50mz more so 1.25ghz is the max? At this point is this mod developed enough for the razr for it to be a usable worth while tweak? Not dogging any devs just want to see if its worth it yet to start messing with this...
Also in the download section there is now this "MO_simple_spyder_1.5-beta-01.zip Milestone Overclock ported to Motorola Droid RAZR"
Whats that?
It depends on your particular processor, because every one is little bit different. I was able to run mine at 1300 MHz quite stable with stock voltage. But I don't see any need for more CPU power now, maybe someday
More interesting is undervolting to achieve longer battery life, which can be done with OPPtimizer too.

Has anyone had any good success with undervolting and battery life?
is there any option to raise SGS3 CPU to 2000mhz or something like that?
EDIT: NEW AS 14/7
kk so i guess the highest and most stablest cpu might be till 1800mhz
1and what about ram? there is any overclocking for ram memory? (couldnt find anything about it)
2what about GPU?
not yet, i think the highest clock right now is 1.5 for the sgs3
and RAM, NO you can not get MORE ram, you can eliminate apps that eating up ram to free some up but no way to get more ram.
is there any need to overclock this beast lol its fast enough

He wasn't referring to getting more RAM though was he? It read to me that he wanted to see if was possible to increase the clock speed of the RAM along with the CPU.
yep just wondering if there is any option for that as in SGS1+2
do you guys think when there is OC for s3, it will raise CPU to 2000MHz ?

Already there OC/UV running 1500Mhz right now. Max 1800Mhz.
Look into de developers topics for the kernel..
Ive looked there.. stiil misunderstand something-
there is any OC of 2000mhz now?
Note that the Exynos 4Core CPU is still not very well understood and may well get long-time damage when ramping up the clock speed aggressively.
Is there actually ANY need for going so high except to show off?
You'll be measuring any speed improvement in loading things up in microseconds because people say Samsung still hasn't fully optimised the phone to the OS yet, so I think it's a bit pointless stressing the phone that much.
1.8GHZ is currently the max however with kmemhelper you should be able to change the last frequency to 2.0...
Hell I'll even find out the script for you if you are mad enough to try it first

I doubt you'll get it 2GHz stable anyway. From what I've heard most people have theirs crap out at 1.8GHz.

to make it clear:
i wanna know which ram overclocking is available to do on the SGS3 as long as the device still stables.
same with GPU and all those stuff.. there is a really good lvl of OC like in S1 S2?
still waiting for help
I would go for Siyah kernel and try 1.8 GHz then under volt using voltage control or extweaks app. Most phones can go 100 mv on all steps except maybe the very highest clocks.
gpu overclock is not possible yet

OC of the ram is connected to bus speed and this is very different to the fixed bus in the sgs1 so nothing like live oc is possible. Still 400 mhz bus speed is 4 times faster than the CHAt!

I`am running RGUI v7 rom and siyah kernel 1.3.8a. My clockspeed is 1600 Mhz and is rockstable, snappy and battery life is great.
I don`t go any higher for daily use, it doesn`t make much difference in speed and i think it cuts down your cpu-life.
ho so no LIVE OC is available now? (like in S1 and s2)?
well hoping it will be possible to add those functions(live oc, ram, cpu, and more..) in Android JB 4.1
My Captivate (SGS1) can hit 1.92GHz... So I think that a CPU with a stock clock of 1.4GHz can hit 2GHz easily. We will just have to see. I am not pushing this phone though. I don't have $700 to replace it.

That's not depended on the ROM but on whether the hardware allows to modify the values and if kernel developers figure out how to do it.
