Hi guys,
I've learned alot from this forum. I wanted to speed up my Neo V so I just finished Unlocking my phone and flashed to XNEO kernel V2 for overclocking capability up to 1.6ghz.
I downloaded setcpu and started testing.. Now the problem is my phone freezes and reboots itself when using a freq. higher than 1.4ghz.
I've seen ppl overclock this phone to 1.9-2ghz? I know that this is too much for daily use but i really want to fly 1.6ghz stable.
What is the cause of this? Do i have a bad cpu? Do i have a bad kernel? Or do i need to upgrade the voltage a bit? how can i do this?
Thank in advantage!

What changes could i make to have cpu at 1.6ghz?
Is it still safe for daily use?

Well these actually look good. From here there are two obvious options:
1.It's faulty hardware, not much you can do about it
2.It's a bad kernel, so try switching to a different one for testing purposes.
Let me know how it went
unlock your bootloader and try another kernel
Thank u for replying! Im gonna try a diffrent kernel when im getting home tomorrow. Maybe someone can recommend me a solid kernel for a neo v with stock ics 4.0.4? (bootloader unlocked)

I tried another kernel and my neo is flying @ 1.6ghz without problems thank u all for replying!
Still got some questions though..
1)Is 1.6ghz still pretty safe for daily use? Im using smartassV2 governor so it wont run at 1.6 ghz the whole time.
2) Since i upgraded to ICS most of my games are lagging and some don't even function properly. I think don't function properly couse they are emulated in a gingerbread environement to run in ICS. So I want to return to gingerbread OS.
DO I just have to flas the stock gingerbread rom with flashtool and afterward flash a compatible kernel for gingerbread for overclock?

Clock speed really depends on your usage. For a gaming phone, 1.6 is pretty decent I guess. I have gone up till 1.8 for a couple days without any issues.
Regarding downgrading, if you want stock then simply flash the GB FTF file with flash tool. Or else, flash a GB kernel and then install your fav'te ROM from CWM.
Thanks for replying
I flashed GB, rerooted using CWM, flashed a solid kernel.
My phone is now in top condition lol. thanks all!

I have used the one click root. I kept the stock 2.1. How do i get setcpu to switch my speed to 710?
u have to have a rom that supports overclocking 1st
You have to flash a oc'd rom or kernel like zanfurs oc kernel, look in android dev.

Try xtrSense if you want an OC experience that runs smooth like Stock, or KaosFroyo if you want a Vanilla Froyo experience out of this world.
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?
hello,
I'm using the official lg rom v2.2.1 that came with the phone. I wanted to update to cm7 but I read about the problem with the BT wich I must have. another thing is that I'm using hebrew and I need it to stay that way.
The thing is that the touch screen is very bad and lags a lot.
If I will upgrade only the kernel what will be the affect on the phone and how do I know what is the best kernel for my version ?
In general I want to fix the touchscreen bug and to OC the phone.
thanks for the help.
If you just want to overcome the touch screen bug then I would suggest using Der_Caveman's Kernel, it is quite old but is usable and removes the touch bug and enables OC.
The kernel wouldn't change any outward appearance of the phone, except maybe increase the quadrant score a bit. If you really want a good performance boost as well then try franco's kernel. Since you are using the stock rom it is recommended to take a nand backup before flashing these kernels. And a kernel doesn't change the system language AFAIK.
Thanks for quick reply. will these two kernels good for froyo 2.2.1 and are there known bugs that I should be aware of before updating ?
As far as read the franco's v18.1 is for 2.3.3...
I have never used Der_Caveman's kernel, but it is bug-free AFAICT. And in the link that I have posted above, franco kernel is available for both froyo and GB. Download the version that says "franco.Kernel v8.1 CFS", it is for froyo.
And as I said earlier, since you are on stock rom it is advisable to take a nand before flashing a custom kernel.
i used dookmatt's kernel which was really good for me(flashed it on stock 2.2.2)...i had no touch lag, no bugs. that would be my recomandation
also dont forget nand backup is holy!

Can I OC with this one ?
OK, I flashed Der_Caveman's Kernel and so far it looks good. the touchscreen is better and I OC to to 729 using setcpu though I cant tell the difference in terms of the speed.
how can I tell if its really 729 and not 600 ?
thanks.
yes my O1 ran at 787 mhz and it was darn stable(at 800+ i had frequent freezes and reboots when launching apps). i also had a friend of mine install this kernel and he's happy with the "new" phone i made
quick system info on market...shows cpu speed
You may look at info tab on SetCPU, it says alot about your device, CPU (frequencies and features), battery and so on.
And you can have SetCPU widget on homescreen as well, which shows current freq, min and max frequencies of the governor you're using
Regards
What does it take to overclock the normal cm7 kernel? The newest nightly kernel is by far the best kernel i have used and it overclocked would make it perfect. Any help is appreciated.
You can't overclock those kernels. Only goes up to 1 ghz. You need fauxs kernels to overclock past 1 ghz.

they were asking how to overclock... an answer saying 'you can't overclock' and then telling them how to overclock might be a little confusing.
@pfoxdizzle download the 1.3 kernel and place it in your internal as you did for CM7 and then install zip and reboot. You should then be overclocked. I have looked around and this is the only link I can find for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156040
You might also find it helpful to install a CPU app (free) so you can adjust overclock. Hope this helps.

I believe I said you can't overclock those kernels (stock kernel because that's what he wanted to OC) And then told him to use fauxs kernel. You just repeated what I said, but if it makes you sleep at night, fine.

1st question
Are they compatible ?
First i will install rom with recovery then flash kernel with flash tool .. Is that right ?
I am afraid to brick my phone help me plzz pro users
2nd question what can i do with overclock ..another thing like increase cpu speed and is that dangerous?
3rd question at kernel i read that i can make my cpu 1.8 ghz and in rom i read that i can make cpu 1.4 .. My official cpu is 1 ghz how it can be like that
I always read that doing that will brick my phone(hardware) or decrease cpu life
I am afraid to do that .. Some users crash their phones with that and others r relaxing ..
Help me plzz tell me the risks and how to ignore ..

If you install the Gingerbread, Android 2.3.X version of the kernel and this ROM, then it will be compatible.

No, on stock ROM you won't have Recovery, so first unlock bootloader, then flash kernel and then enter Recovery.
Recovery is included in the kernel.

CPU works at certain rate of pulses, the amount is called clock. By default, a CPU works at 1 GHz, that means 1 billion pulses per second(comparison, human heart about once per second).
Overclocking means making the CPU work at higher rate. When CPU works at higher rate, it gives out more heat, which can be dangerous to the CPU. If it gets too hot, it might just melt itself or another parts of the mainboard in your phone. That's how phones get f**ked up

You can set your CPU clock yourself. Depending on kernel, it can be max 2 Ghz or 1.8 or whatever. You can choose any amount between 0 and that max. By default, on stock phones, CPU works at 1. By using a specific app and custom kernel, CPU will be told to work at higher rate. Result, read the text above.

Yes, correct. Overclocking does decrease the life time, uses more battery and is quite dangerous. The real speed boost is actually small and is not really worth it.
Overclocking is not obligatory, you can do it if you want, but you don't have to. I highly recommend not to overclock your phone.
1) I don't know. Check or ask in the ROM's thread.
If your bootloader is unlocked, install the proper kernel and then flash the ROM from recovery.
2) Overclocking is always dangerous. Not only if you overclock to 1,8 Ghz. Also 1,2 could damage your phone. I'd suggest you not to overclock, but it's up to you.

Common misconception.
Knowledge about hardware + careful steps = safe overclocking.
Anyway, I dont get the idea of OC'ing smartphones.
