just wondering, there's so much talk about overclocking CPU.
why no discussion on overclocking for GPU? is it possible?
i think if the higher GPU clockspeed improve performance even more than CPU clock speed, doesn't it?
if i understand correctly, galaxy nexus GPU is the same as galaxy S1. but with much higher clock speed. So the GPU speed can be made higher right?
Some kernel, as Siyah allows you (with extweaks) to overclock gpu up to 400 mhz, but I think this is useless, no app need more than 200-267 mhz.
A good idea can be downclock gpu and cpu frequency and decrease voltages to save battery.

I think (coz i saw this about a week ago haha)there are two GPU states low 200Mhz and High 267Mhz..
Please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong..

Gpu steps are 3. According to information provided by extweaks default frequency values are 160, 267, 267, but you can set as you want.

That is the "Performace" setting of siyah(160, 267, 267). Or maybe it is the default but siyah considers it as a performance setting

Hello, I keep getting random reboots on my HTC Legend. I don't think the problem is related to the rom because I tried many of them and still the same problem. I've read that it may be related to the radio version but I don't know which version should I upgrade to
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0
Baseband Version: 47.26.35.04U_7.05.35.26L
Did u OC's the CPU? Maybe your frequencies are too high?
Try with a lower one.
Thanks for the reply, yes, i did try lower the Frequencies but still have the same problem

What frequencies are you using?
have you tried to change governor?
Currently using 787 max. and 400 min. and the governor is set onDemand

It could also depend on the Kernel installed, but for a 600 MHz processor, 787mhz seems definitely too high for me. My friend has the same CPU in his ZTE Blade and he cannot OC more than 650mhz (obviously also depends on hardware).
What I suggest, is to OC's just a little above the normal value 600mhz (ex. 633/650mhz), and increase little by little the clock to find out at which freq. your phone start to experience spontaneous reboot.
I would also try the "smartass" governor with a min freq between 19/176 mhz.
Let me know.

Some devices (with 600mhz processors) can be overclocked to 864mhz (e.g. HTC Aria; but is overall stable at 806mhz).

I am agree. My Hero can be overclocked up to 749mhz (525mhz default) , but at this OC suffer from spontanious reboot. The max freq. I can reach is 710mhz without problems.
This is why I said it depends on devices and hardware.
Probably 787mhz is too much for his phone.
just a quick question
Depends on what the phone is doing. Stock can go to 1200mhz if required. By the same token, if the phone only needs 200mhz for a given task, then that's what it will use.
In what context are you asking the question ?
No basically i was checking antutu benchmark and the maximum it said was 800mhz.
was i just looking at the wrong info or is it the max its clocked at? cpu it says is 200 - 800
Default Clock speed for the Galaxy S2 is 200mhz to 1200mhz (1.2Ghz)
In Antutu, if you click on the 'i' on the bottom of the screen and scroll to System Info, it should show CPU Frequency as 200.00 - 1200.00 MHz, unless you have it underclocked.
Also, from what i understand, Antutu aswel as other apps always show the S2 cpu as ARM Cortex-A7 processor, when in actual fact its an ARM Cortex-A9 processor
Have you set a profile in an app that can set the CPU min/max (Voltage Control, Set CPU, etc, etc) ? I use 200-800 as a default profile.
So far as benchmarks/info they provide are concerned, I wouldn't know given I personally think benchmarks are a complete waste of time (and have never run one on my phone).
Essentially, on stock, your CPU should have a 200-1200mhz range, and the CPU speed at a given point in time will vary depending on what the phone is doing as I said in my previous post.
Oh I see thanks to both of you
Hello,
I'm writing this thread to know which processor options would be optimal in our minis. The best settings, which give me the best performance/battery, I've found are:
CPU Governor: SMARTASSV2 (Default)
Min Freq: 19MHz
Max Freq: 748MHz
Undervolt: TRUE
I'm also using Apex Launcher. Which settings are you using?
Note: This are just my results, be careful when you change your processor settings.

Whats the purpose of Undervolting when you have it's max frequency as overclock?

Because it undervolts on every frequency below 600, and his minimum is 19, so when the phone is idle or doesn't need all of the processing power he saves battery
The SmartAss governor is very good at picking the right frequencies for any given job, so it doesn't allways run on 748Mhz, not even when you're using the phone.

That is the same very purpose of SMARTASSV2 to undervolt your device when idle or on sleepmode and overclocks it when on process. So ticking the undervolt wont affect your device because the one that manage the frequency will be the COUgovernor.

The SmartAss Governor only governs the frequencies, not the voltage that the Processor uses. there is a difference between the speed the cpu runs on (Mhz) and the amount of Electricity (Volts) it gets fed
Say Qualcomm has said it needs 5 volts to run at the stock frequency of 600Mhz, then the processor will always get 5 Volts, no matter which frequency it uses.
Undervolting will feed it less than the 5Volts when the frequencies are lower, SmartAss won't do that, it will run the 19Mhz still on 5Volts.
(Voltages are examples, i don't know the exact values, but I know that running on 122 or less will be stable on less than half of the nominal power)

Hey, thanks a lot for all the replies. I had no idea why my settings worked like i wanted.
Hello forum,
I have followed through the steps to root my Galaxy 5 player and I'm interested in over clocking it for better performence towards games and all around use. Can someone guide me on which application, what speed to set it on, or a break down about the good and bads of overclocking? This would be my first time doing so and I would appreicate the guidence.
Thank you for your time.
You will need to flash a custom kernel. Look in the development section. It will give you easy answers.

There are many applications in google play to help you overclock(OC)/underclock(UC). The most popular ones seem to be Tegrak Ultimate and SetCPU. Both pretty much do the same thing (with a few exceptions one being SetCPU tends to give you a bit more information to look at), however these two you have to pay for. Some free alternatives (albeit you will only get the basic functionality) are AnTuTu CPU Master (Free) and No-Frills CPU Control. These two give (along with the ones mentioned before) you the basic functions to OC/UC, Undervolt, Set the Governor, Set the I/O scheduler, and some other tweaks you can do.
The good thing about overclocking is that it has the potential fix lag problems on your device, make games run smoother, and etc
The bad thing about overclocking is that it makes your CPU work harder (meaning that it could damage it if you OC for very long periods of time), makes your device run hotter, and reduces battery life.
The kernel is the thing that gives you the ability to OC/UC. Most kernels are setup default to OC to 1.2 ghz. But you can go much higher than that. I know with Tegrak Ultimate you can OC to 1.3 ghz, however some people have OC'ed the 5.0 to 1.5 ghz. You must install (Flash) a kernel in order to overclock or underclock the CPU.
This is a list of all the custom kernels/roms for all the Galaxy Players currently out. I believe most have instructions to help you flash a new kernel/rom. Just make sure you are flashing one that is meant for YOUR DEVICE, or you will brick it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
This is from XDA http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HMdOlxOee0o that talks about Rooting and Overclocking
This is another video showing you how to overclock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457 (pretty much the same thing for all android devices.
Hope this helps you out.
Tegrak Overclock works fine. Overclocked to 1.3GHz with no problem at all. Needs root and custom kernel.
If you have money buy tegrac overclock ultimate..i use on 1.5 ghz just with tiny more voltage and other fq i undervolted so very good speed and battery is also good.

I use Tegrak Overclock ultimate to reach up to 1.5 GHz. But do you really need a custom kernel to overclock?
I think so, I gave No-Frills CPU control and only got the default my player runs on. I just don't like the custom kernal for the USA Galaxy Player 5 because it doesn't last as long (charging and discharging) as the stock kernal does.

No frills cpu control is NOT overclocking tool..onlu overclocking tool on galaxy player is tegrack overclock.And depends what you want ..slow device but few hours more to last or much faster device but recharging almost every night..difference in speed on GP betwen 1 ghz and 1.5ghz is just huge.

I've already tried many of these application, even NSTools, but Voltage Control is perfect for me.
The reason is that in all these other application I tried, the voltage value you insert is not controlled, you can even go to 5V for example (yes I mean 5000mV), and this does not make me safe!
Tegrak Ultimate should be perfect too, I think, with its bar for voltage control and not an edit box.
