Hey guys I just started overclocking my ace and i must say i am seeing a difference in performance. Now a bit more details:
ROM: Stocklite V6
Using No Frills CPU Control (which came with the ROM)
So far my settings for the highest clock is:
MAX clock freq: 864mhz
Governor: performance
I/O sch: deadline
Should I keep pushing for a higher clock speed or is that good enough, and what are the signs of an unstable OC, i've been playing angry birds after each OC, also going on the market and downloading stuff, is that enough or should I run something else?
I know the minimum clock speed recommended for the ace is 245mhz, right now i'm just trying to get the highest clock speed, when I attain the highest clock speed, which governor would you guys recommend, on demand or smartass?
Try smartass v2
Use zimage which has multi overclock option
And keep min 245
And Max 902

Thanks man, i'll give it a go now and report back.
HUMM...just tried 883mhz and within 2mins of playing angry birds the phone rebooted...i guess I will have to live with 864mhz...but still it's a good OC, everything feels much more.....crisp
Study about the CPU governors before you start using them. Performance governor uses the MAX CPU clock @ ALL THE TIME, Uses the hell of a battery. & SGA is meant to be working on 800 max at all the time, it was running 864 continuously. No wonder why your phone rebooted. Continuous OCs will hamper your phone life.

i can say that u speak for all of us. and u can read minds!
I'm not going to leave the governor on performance, I was just using it to let the phone run all out while OC'ing, I have enabled the Smartass V2 governor now and all is good. Now i'm finding the lowest clock speed where everything still moves smoothly. So far 320mhz is pretty decent..jittery but decent.
guys, which kernel i can use for a good overclock? I am using zImage-Mod v1.5 more i can´t overclock with this..

what u suffering???
mine since last 3 month until now 24h oc..320 min 902 max using ketut kernel..
please share what u suffering...
If i OC mine beyond 844 MHz my phone restarts
Dont think that if one person gets 902 or 920, that you will be able to as well
test each stage carefully. IMHO OC isnt worth it (im happy with max 800)

3800+? How did you get that high?
I'm running SGT 10.1 rooted/In Parisv4/Pershoot's kernel and OC @1.4 or so I thought. I read this and opened Quadrant Standard. Ran it and got 1829. I noted this was about the same as those running at 1Ghz and knew something wasn't right. I went into SetCPu and checked "set at boot" rebooted the tab, and my scores are now much betta:
2941
3069
3069
3063
not bad, but based on the advice in the SETCPu setup guide and my experience as an original/gangster of PC overclocking (Celery Sandwich will likely tell my age) this not be any issue at all, for the SGT10.1, but if you start seeing weird ()&(^$# THEN BACK IT DOWN, RINSE, REPEAT AT A LOWER FREQUENCY, if the problem can't be reproduced there it's likely due to instability between frequencies of CPU and main memory. Bottom line step your oclock up slowly until you hit repeatable instabilities/errors/crashes, and then back it down.
Anyone know off the top of their head an app to monitor the temperature of the CPU? I get the battery temp from inside Set CPU along with a lot of great info except my CPU temp, which is typically important for OC'ers.
If I overclock using webOS, will it also be useful with the alpha2?
The only useful purpose it does is tell you how fast you can go.
Your webOS and CM7 are completely different kernels on different partitions. You'd have to OC each one separately.

Thank you for the quick reply and of course there is no way to overclock the HP on CM7 as of yet, correct?

you can OC your CM7, but only in CM7 (webOS and CM7 have nothing to do with each other). use setcpu or an app like that to OC
Setcpu is a paid app, but works great.

i concur, with it, my battery life has almost doubled!
MAX: 1512
MIN: 384

set on boot
To OC in CM7, we don't need to flash a different kernel?
nope, stock is the only one available anyway (for now)
I've just downloaded CPU Master Free which seems to do the job.
Having said that, I haven't noticed much difference at 1.5 - but then, I haven't stressed it yet.
Alan
I installed CPU Master Free on my wife's TP and every time I rebooted it went back to stock speed.
I use setcpu with governor set to performance and max set to 1.78 ghz min set to 384 ghz and got a quadrant score this morning of 3561. I backed down after that to 1.5 max/ 384 min with conservative governor. Here is the quad score screenshot:

Wonder how fast we should go?
Performance in CM settings will do the OC for you.
Ooops, no it won't.
Apologies!
Is 384mhz the lowest we can go in Android, or is it because any lower performance would be affected? I know in Govnah the lowest is like 192mhz, and haven't noticed a difference between that and the next number up 384mhz.
Fyi.....
Setcpu is free for xda members. U just have to search for it. The dev has a thread on xda with the apk. If u can't find it pm me

How high can you go? with respect to the stability.
The overclock capabilities depend on the kernel the app will just help you access the them

I don´t use OC Kernel atm and i never tried out how high my Ace can go.
There are differents in how high u can go, try out at your own Risk
My phone gets into a boot loop if I overclock it to 883MHz, so be careful while overclocking. You might kill your ace

Samsung tests their processors to work stable at 800Mhz only.

I can do 960 but it force restarts when ever it gets hot.. so 940 is stable for me... guess you are lucky after all..

you can use setCPU application. You can buy it from market. But I prefer not to OC my phone as its drains battery and harmful too...
I'm using SetCPU (I love it since it allows to create profiles, like charging, screen off, etc...). I'm overclocked to ~860Mhz without any problems.

overclocking is too much desired.... but in a hot condition .... keep ur ace cool at normal MHZ of 800 else u can end up of excessive battery heating ,, retarding battery life...and may be a processor burn ....

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
thanks man...i am on a custom. I just want to know if im running at 1.5ghz like im supposed to, or does it not run at that all the time?

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

Hey guys, i got a question: why sometimes when i unlock my sga it justs unlocks slowly(slugish) and the phone itself too? After a while he returns to normal.
Does it have anything to do with this deep sleep thíng? I think when i used setcpu it didnt happen(i dont use it anymore)
Im using stock ginger 2.3.5 with ket kernel and rooted.
Thanks!

Tis question as been asked over 234 times to be exact so please search anyway
Your cpu's minimum is to low so when it goes to sleep it starts with a low cpu speed just change your minimum frequency to 245+ MHz
Then your phone will unlock fast!
(My cpu runs @ 480-806 MHz I recommend it it's stable and super smooth!)
How can i change that without having setcpu running?

It's not the same for me, because I have Cpu at min 245 and max 806, my smartphone doesn't lag at all. When I unlock it, it just runs smooth as it should.
By the way you should try No-frills CPU Control, search it on Google Play, it's free.
After installing it, try SmartassV2 with the frequencies above!
If you still have lags, investigate further.
You guys read what i wrote? xD with setcpu i also didnt lag. It seems its when the phone comes from deep sleep or something!
