First of all, I got interested in overclocking because I've read that it helps boost the performance of android devices.
Now, Having no experience at all, I have some queries and questions about this feature:
1. Supposing that I have already downloaded an OC with my preferred frequency, Do I have to flash to be able to apply an OC Kernel in my device? Or do I just have to update it from CWM?
2. What does this term mean? :
"use no-Frills for OC and I/O setting"
3. If ever the OC I have applied is unstable, how would I be able to revert it to 600MHz again?
I hope you guys could help me with my doubts.
Thanks in Advance!
Dude never overclock a device...it decreases the life of the device and who the heck told u that improves the performance of the device???It doesn't improve just causes more problems!!!!!

Stop lying . It may decrease the life of your device if you overclock dangerously (too high for the processor to handle). It does increase performance.

1. You just set your frequency in the app.
2. No frills is an app. Whoever stated that is just saying you should use that app to do it (thier preference).
3. If you use SetCPU, you can create an update.zip file which allows you to set it back to the default frequency via recovery (if your device can't boot).

Are you sure? This is far contrary in the threads that I've read. Does anyone else agree with this?
Totally confusing. HELP!!
It's ur device ur wish. Any overclocking involes a lot of danger. Set it too high for the cpu to handle it might explode(personal experince). I overclocked my device and it exploded....So it's ur wish.

Phew! At last. Something worth reading.
Thanks for the answers! But I have another follow up question.
I found this thread :
[kernel] Cm7 OC kernel with all feature
So what does this mean? Why do I have to download it from there instead of using the app to change the frequency?

Because not all kernels have OC/UC capabilities. You have to download and flash a kernel that allows it.

It is capable. That kernel will allow it.
Yes you can revert back to 600mhz, but as everyone else has said, do not overclock too far.

Don't overclock beyond what anyone else has had success with. Look up other's successes.
And if you can't, doing it step-by-step, ~100mHz at a time, slowly, will make it feel hot or crash before it explodes (back down if it does get hot or unstable).
Undervolting can also help counteract some of the bad parts of overclocking, without affecting performance at all. UV can, worst case scenario, cause data loss and crashing, never hardware damage, but best case scenario improves battery and device life. Again, do it step-by-step, 5V at a time, slowly, and back up when it starts acting weird
You can check this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247213
you need to have a kernel that allows for OCing/UCing , i'm not sure if galaxy fit allows it
you'll know if it allows it or not if you'll run an app that allows for OCing/UCing, if it doesn't allow it, the maximum frequency at which you can set is 600mhz only which is the default.
My phone's rooted for the first time several days ago and the CPU is overclocked from 1Ghz to 1.7Ghz.
I suppose it depends on overclocking application. The ROM that I have includes an O/C app and there's an option called "on demand" which means even if your CPU is overclocked, it will not utilize the max clock speed all the time.
My phone actually runs at 300Mhz on standby and around 1.2Mhz when I am using it to surf, listen to music or watch a movie. I've never seen it run max 1.7Ghz.

It depends on your device (and kernel), plus the frequency you set it to. Also, it's based on your preference to do it or not.

Alright, then I'm sorry Google couldn't answer your question. (Which is odd, since overclocking is kinda popular.)
Anyways, Overclocking means to "Make the CPU go faster than it was designed for". Some devices "like the hero" can jump from 518mhz to a stable 691mhz by overclocking, this increases the speed of the CPU so that programs and the OS can work faster.
But overclocking is about finding the highest speed, while having the stability to use it. Since it's no use to overclock, if it makes your phone unusable to use. (Force closes, phone freezing etc.)
Overclocking CAN harm your device, if you take a too high value. But if you stay inside a stable zone, there shouldn't be any harm to your device.
You can experience that the phone is getting a bit hot, or that the battery is emptied faster than normal.
Since the CPU drains so much power, there are settings that allow to set a different clock (how fast the device should go in mhz) when the phone is at sleep. So that it can run at a much lower frequency, when you don't use it.
ROM developers normally post ( 691/197 ) or something at their thread, the first number is the CPU speed when it's on and you're using it. And the other is when the phone is at sleep.
If there's anything other you want the answer to, ask it here.
But, please use Gooogle search Before posting anything.
Overclocking increases the clock speeds of a CPU. And as a result means it can do *things* faster.
Overclocking on a desktop PC tends to increase the voltages to overclock the device over this isn't really an option on a phone as it has limited battery life. So overclocking on a phone is normally done by software changes. When CPU makers make a CPU they can not be 100% accurate on the performance of that chip - in fact its very much the opposite, so after each chip is made it is tested and then given a clock speed and locked to that, overclocking breaks that and allows you to manually increase the clock, however overclocking capabilities will be different on every device.
If you take an example of an Intel Chip, a 2.66GHz Core-2-Duo, this is exactly the same chip as the 3.06GHz however when tested it wouldn't run as fast so Intel sell it at a stable clock speed.
Overclocking the hero shouldn't really have any implications for the device, however overclocks can reduce the life-time of a CPU (and any other hardware you might overclock). You shouldn't notice much extra heat from the device as the voltages being used are not changing.
Hope that cleared some of it up for you.

Right now the jump between 1ghz to 1.1ghz shows no real world benefit. I have a couple of questions:
1. Does overclocking to 1.1ghz effect the battery enought to see a difference?
2. Does undervolting save battery enough to see a difference?
3. If i have a custom kernal but still running at 1ghz, will the battery be the same/worse/better then runnning 1ghz on stock kernel

1 Yes it does, but the phone only uses that frequency when pushed to limits, so not much.
2 Yes, i believe it does.
3 I found faux kernel to drink my battery like water even oj stock clock. Edgan's didnt have that problem.
4 it may cause random reboots if ur UV lvls are beyond the phone's capabilities.
Ps1: hes got a point, all impressions are too personal, they dont translate to universal experience.
Ps2: the greatest use of OC on the atrix right now is the webtop, that really pushes all possible processing power.

Hi, i have just flashed the new HyperDroid v5.2.21 (Full wipe) and i wanted to know if i can overclock my SGS2 from 1.2ghz to 1.5ghz, if so how do i go about it?
Do i need to change the current kernel (XWL1)?
P.S ive heard its stable, but does it drain the battery?
Thanks XDA Community
Hello there. Yep you can overclock but you need a kernel that supports it. [url="http://gokhanmoral.com]SiyahKernel[/url] is a good choice. With that, use the Voltage Control app from the market.
However I know nothing about battery draining or stability... dualcore 1.2GHz mobile processor is more than enough for me, and the phone can get pretty hot under maximum load, same with the MALI GPU which can be overclocked to 400MHz (but since it has 4 cores and the phone has no active heatsinks it could get risky...)

Yes you can overclock and you can stick with the kernel that comes with Hyperdroid. I am currently Overclocking 1.6ghz max and 200 min. Not touching voltages though. Use No-Frills app to set it up. My advice though to you no point in overclocking as 1.2ghz is good enough as it is..And the kernel you are on is good enough...It is stable depending what voltage frequencies you use..I say leave it as they are. And like i said download No-Frills from the market..Set your clock speeds and that should be it..Choose a governor and off you go

No-Frills ? AndroidMeda Developers recommend Voltage Control (and I personally like it much more than No-Frills, too) with their kernel.

Pongster uses No-Frills. The rest of the team uses Voltage Control. And to avoid any freezes or random reboots leave the voltage settings as they are till you get to grips with the overclocking. Hence why i suggested No-Frills as currently Voltage Control for me kept on reverting back to stock frequencies..And yes there is a way round it but it is to much of an effort

Okay so with there new Rom v2, it has an OC kernal built in and it does work...BUT I need to know how to OC the thing safely and squeezing as much performance as possible!
I have it at 825 and min 806 mhz, scaler is performance.
What settings would you pro's recommened?

Edit 1- I am using SetCPU to OC.
"overclock" and "safe" cannot be use in the same sentence, it just wrong.
theres no safe overclocking. moreover each and every device is unique even for the same model.
what is working with others doesnt guarantee it'll works with yours.

I don't Think U mustuse over clocking,even my setting was min245 max 902,the effect just draining more battery,and if using to much can damaging ur prosessor
I know you might think what I'm going to write is unnecessary and going to contradict with your believes here. but I'm going say it anyway.
If you are going to use your device for a long time then I would suggest not to overclock too much. You'll know when something will go wrong with your over-clocking. Your SGA would start rebooting randomly. Heating up would be excessively common once you start overclocking, using your SGA while it's charging. Over clocking will definitely reduce your processor life span. People who do can over clock their device to get the max out of their device and know they're going to change the device in sometime later anyway.

Don't worry! Like I said, I have experience O/C'ing processors etc and I know how bad the effects can be! I am not going for a massive overclock at all. Just a tiny bump in the speed. At the moment, I am running 825mhz and already the speed has improved dramatically. I may go a little further but 902mhz is a bit mental for my liking.

Hello all
I have a bit of a small problem. I like to run my phone using the Performance Governor but after a while it goes to 1Ghz on all 4 cores despite me running it at 1.8Ghz. Setting it back seems to correct the issue but in time it goes down again.
I believe it is getting a bit warm and thus it hits a limit and the system auto slows to 1Ghz.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour? It never happened to me before but I have had a few kernel updates and updates to the Omega ROM that could be the cause but I am not sure. Is there a setting where I can tell my phone what temps to throttle at?
Also, I assume all this is down to the Kernel and not the ROMs?
Would like some imput regards where to start my search to return my phone to its previous state as a pocket heater.
Many Thanks

1.8Ghz is not healthy for the CPU in the long run and will cause overheating which is exactly what you are currently seeing.
Especially since you keep the phone on 100% CPU power all the time (performance governor) which should drain battery like hell as a side effect.

This is down to your settings. Neither rom nor kernel.
- Don't overclock (much)
-Use a good kernel such as Siyah
-Undervolt if the phone remains stable
-Use pegasusq Governor

Don't use it. Pegasusq is the only one really working for multi-core CPU's with hotplugging and so on.
1.8Ghz is not healthy for the CPU in the long run and will cause overheating which is exactly what you are currently seeing.
Especially since you keep the phone on 100% CPU power all the time (performance governor) which should drain battery like hell as a side effect.
This is down to your settings. Neither rom nor kernel.

Hi buddy and thanks for your response.
I am not sure about what you said regarding it working correctly, it gets the best results for any benchmark compared to others so I would be interested in more detail about the specifics of how its not working correctly as I have never been told that. It would be appreciated.
I dont mind the battery drain although I do heed your warning about about longevity of the CPU.
I have been using Siyah Kernel for some time now and I find undervolting a little unstable, for now I am forced to use pegasusq.
Can you or anyone else answer the original question as I still wish to pursue this to a resolve other than not using it.
Many thanks for your time and efforts non the less!

it´s samsung´s based roms related: when the battery temp hits 41C the cpu will throttle. Nothing related with de cpu temp (can be at 80C before throttles).
try CM10.1 and you´ll see what im talking about.
We need a solution for this throttling with samsung based roms
