Hi, first of all i would like to know if there is any uncomplicated way to overclock the gpu (and cpu) of the x10i (adreno 200) or is it even possiple?
My x10i is rooted, xrecovery is installed as well as the fps uncap (54 fps). (but i dont want to unlock the bootloader!)
Also i would like to be able to set the cpu frequency as i want it to be, which (free) app would you recommend, should be stable and reliable (should maybe also show the current frequency)?
If thats possible, it wouldnt be bad being able to set the gpu speed/frequency as well.
Until now I've found cpu tuner and antutu cpu master...
Thanks in advance guys
First u will need a custom kernel that supports OC, then u can use no frills cpu master (free from market) to overclock
OK thanks, but as i read in some other threads you cant really go much past 1100 mhz (cpu) because it will get unstable, so i just want to set the cpu frequency i want (so just underclocking or permanently stick it to 998mhz).
Which (free) app is best for this?

Dont know about free but if youre willing to spend a little, SetCpu from the market works wonders

No frills cpu is free
So then i'm gonna try no-frills cpu control, but why is it better than antutu cpu master (free), or is it even better(?), both of them got an average of about 4,5 stars....
I've also seen that antutu cpu master (free) has advanced options with gpu control, but i dont really understand what can be done in these settings....there are no listed frequencies or anything.....(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.antutu.CpuMasterFree&hl=de)
I would say that other cpu apps may have more options but no frills is simple and elegant.As a normal user we dont need more than this.
Just my opinion
Works perfectly and has a nice statistic about the frequency(s) used
If u search xda forum properly u can find set CPU for free as a treat for xda members from the dev.

Thanks but i'm happy with no-frills cpu control at the moment, has everything i need:
- full control over the current frequency
- widget showing the current frequency
- statistic about frequency(s) used (total and last 5 seconds)
- option to set my desired frequency right after booting
So for now thats all i need, maybe when i want to overclock it a bit (future, not now), then i'll use setcpu.
Hi there, I am using Omega V9.0 with SiyahKernel S3 v1.3.8 and the app EdTweaks. But I can not get hoger than 1.6MHz. I read the specs and it said steps to 1.8GHz with the SiyahKernel S3 v1.3.8.
Is it somewhere hidden?
You need more voltage, but take care.

Use Voltage Control or similar from the Play Store.

But I don`t know what settings for the voltage to get 1.8MHz?
I overclocked my calculator the other day. I got 1,9 MHz. Crazy.
My phone does 1,8 GHz

Hi,
For the 1.8Ghz slot the voltage is 1450mV, try by 25mV steps...
But I don't know the "tolerance" of maximum voltage, in my opinion don't go above 1500mV.
Maybe your CPU can't handle 1.8Ghz, if it's like some other phones, some can handle higher overclock, others can't...
You can use SetCpu, mostly don't set anything at boot...
EDIT:Re reading the OP..., in fact you do not see the 1.8Ghz slot???
Guys I think he is asking why you cannot OC higher than 1600mhz in extweaks.
I don't know whh that happens but you can use setcpu to OC to 1800mhz.

Hi,
That's what I thought after thought , thanks.
It's right in ExTweaks there is not the 1.7/1.8Ghz slots
So you can use SetCpu, the 1.7Ghz and 1.8Ghz slots are present.

Voltage control will override the extweaks settings and sets the voltage according to your oc selection. Just open it and set to 1.8. If all is well you can set it at boot. If nit just reboot and reset but increase the voltage.
You can also check to see what it's running using CPU spy.

But in ExTweaks there is no CPU slot for 1.7 or 1.8GHz. Only 1.6GHz. It has CPU undervolting. Is standard on NO.
But you can override GPU voltages levels. I don`t know how to use these or does it effect on the CPU?
I have use the app CPU Master of AnTuTu. Here there is a 1.8HHz slot but after rebooting and after a benchmark it is still 1.6GHz???
Perhaps I have to use the app SetCPU.
In Cpu Master have you tick set on boot?
Maybe a bit risky to 1.8Ghz unless you have tested this frequency for a long time and all is fine.
In any case with SetCpu the CPU freq remains after reboot.
And this is what I said, in ExTweaks there is not 1.7 and 1.8Ghz slot...Maybe ask to gokhanmoral why or if this is normal?
And the GPU setting affects only the GPU, not the CPU.
You can also try System Tuner on the Play Store for yours CPU settings, but be careful to not multiply the CPU apps setting to avoid conflicts in case of different settings in each apps
For example use only ExTweaks for your GPU settings and only SetCpu for your CPU settings... not more.

So it is better to leave this way, only use ExTweak and uninstall the other tweak apps?
Yes, I would say to keep only one app for your CPU settings.If the 1.6Ghz slot is good enough for you or your usage keep it like that.If you want test above 1.6Ghz then installs SetCpu but use only SetCpu for your CPU settings, not extweaks because there could be conflicts (maybe) if you set 1.6Ghz in ExTweaks and 1.8Ghz in SetCpu, not normally but you never know.
And with ExTweaks you can set many other things with Siyah kernel like GPU, sound, etc... so with this kernel ExTweaks is the best app, obiously
It really depends on what you want LOL, SetCpu is very complete for CPU settings but only for that (volatge, governor settings).
In my opinion just keep ExTweaks with your overclock at 1.6Ghz and you are good!

When I said voltage control, I didn't mean voltage control in extweaks. Voltage Control is an app in the play store which will allow you to set the CPU to 1.8. It overrides the settings used in extweaks. Set it to 1.8 and it will adjust the voltages accordingly. You can even change them independently if you like. Test at 1.8 for a few days and if you have no problems then tick to set it at boot. You will know if it's overclocked to 1.8 with CPU spy also from the play store.

Aha voltage control is an app. I will look for it and found it. Finally there is the 1.8GHz :victory:
What to set with on demand? In ExTweaks they use pegasusq and in Voltage Control they use ondemand. There is also hotplug and performance. Is it better to deinstall the other tweak cpu apps?
Anyway this does not work. The same with CPU Master. Set it on 1.8GHz but it is hanging now with a benchmark. After rebooting it is back at 1.6GHz. Do I have to use another kernel?

First I try what sxi200 said about Voltage Control.
I am not happy
Tested the Voltage Control but after setting it on 1.8GHz and tried a benchmark it is dead :crying:
Had to put the battery out for 10 minutes. I think I use ExTweaks with the Siyah kernel at 1.6GHz pffffffff

Yeah I did set it to 1.8 a while ago and it also hung during benchmark tests. Maybe it needs more voltage at 1.8. Might be worth a try increasing it in the Voltage Control app.
After reboot it goes back to 1.6 unless you set it at boot within the vc app. But risky until you sort out the freezing issues. I'd recommend not to set it for now.
Personally, I found 1.6 to be fast enough so I just use extweaks. Also probably better for battery as well.

i am on mean rom GB v45 + anthrax kernel included in it.The problem is when i play 3D game it run on 1.5 ghz and make my phone overheat even with simple 3D game like paper monster so i want downlclock it
using set cpu latest version(2.0.3.2 and 3.0.7 version)wth max 1.2 ghz and min 194 mhz but i see in widget it back to max 1.5 ghz sometimes
using system tuner pro, but it make my phone restart maybe there's conflict with the rom
using cpu antutu master pro , i cant adjust voltage but successly adjust the min and max clock speed eventough the min clock speed always going up same as max clock speed in antutu setting . Installing system tuner pro after adjusting antutu master and the cpu clock is the same as my setting on antutu cpu master pro.
if you have any experiece please share
thanx

First of all, the kernel in MeanROM GB 4.5 is a dodava kernel. The settings for OC/UV are controlled by parameters in the postboot script, not with apps like SetCPU and System Tuner. If you try to set them with those apps, they will be reset when the phone goes to sleep and wakes up again. There are some instructions for setting up the parameters in this post within the MeanROM GB thread, and the script has more information in the comments.
This post by mpgrimm2 is a good guide to setting up the postboot script parameters, including some recommended values. You might be better off posting further questions in the MeanROM GB thread if they are related to that ROM because there are still a lot of people using it that monitor the thread.

thank you very much for explanation
whenever i raise the clock above 1200mhz it crashes but in setcpu it can go till 1488mhz
so how to set it to 1488mhz without crashing or even 1300 or 1350mhz
Can you undervolt?
Yes you can undervolt
by the way undervolt is setting your cpu clock below the original
but how do i overclock it above 12000mhz

Maybe you need OC Kernels for getting the overclocking capability for the processor.
but no one is there yet so can anyone build it
Hi All..
First lemme give my phone details:
Galaxy S3 International (i9300)
Kernel : Siyah 1.8.9
ROMs (Dual Boot)
: WanamLite v5.5 (based on ZSEMA1)
CM10.1 Nightly
MODS : JKAY framework
My problem is that there is noticeable UI lags when in the homescreen or the app drawer.
I have not overclocked/underclocked the CPU. Have no undervoltage setting as well. In STweaks, the max CPU freq is set to the stock 1400Mhz and the min CPU freq is set to the recommended 200Mhz. And I have kept the "touch boost level" to 1200Mhz.
When I see the UI lags, I used CPU spy to monitor the CPU speeds. What I could see was that the speeds were at the lower end (200 - 800 Mhz) !!! Since the touch boost level is set to 1200, shouldn't the CPU jump to 1200 Mhz when I unlock/touch the screen ? I agree that the CPU speed needn't stay at 1200Mhz after the speed boost, but shouldn't it stay at a freq to ensure that there is no UI lag ?
If the operating freq is at 1400Mhz, the UI is perfect !!! It goes to this state automatically usually (takes a while ), or manually I can make this happen by setting the min CPU freq to say 1300 MHz from STweaks. Once this state is hit, the UI wrks with no lag until say I lock the screen, or maybe the device goes to sleep for a while.
Any ideas as to why the CPU freq stays at lower values and doesn't come up enough to give a lag free UI ?

ANNNNNNNNNNNND what rom are you talking about!?! CM10.1 or Samsung? if you want a LAGG FREE phone do the following.
1: OverClock the CPU to 1.6ghz, then set min to 500mhz, use a -25mV or a -50mV
2: Set Governor to LULZACTIVEQ
3: Set MIN GPU freq to 266mhz
4: Set MAX GPU freq to 640mhz
5: Disable "gentle fair sleepers" on the CPU tab
6: Set the SCHEDULER to CFQ
7: Go to settings and enable GPU rendering
and FINALLY if non of the above work, FLASH Null_22.1 for a Samsung ROM. and Revolt, cm10.1, jellybam for a AOSP rom.
IF NON OF THAT WORK'S download super wipe and flash a new phone.
Can I just say, 1200mhz?!?! Default is 800 and I'm using 700 on my device. It's a bit extreme.
Perhaps your governor is affecting smoothness. Try using pegasusq. Or it may be the app your using to change CPU frequency doesn't even have ROOT access

No. Do not disable hardware overlays. That will, if anything, cause your device to lag more.

This is a quote from a guy over at rootzwiki
Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping.
Basically, using hardware overlays can reduce CPU usage by quite a bit, so I would leave it enabled.

Uhm, you're welcome, I guess? :good:
It's probably smoother due to the fact that the CPU will be working at a higher frequency more often. Those that have disabled hardware overlays are causing their CPU to ramp up every time an application has to render an image

The lag is more obvious in the Touchwiz based Wanamlite ROM.
1) As i said, when running at 1.4Ghz (with stock voltage settings) itsef the UI is smooth. So I don't actually want to overclock. . The problem is that the CPU speed doesn't rise up and stays between 200-800 causing the lag.
2) Will try changing the governor (first let me read how it is different from pegasusq ).
3,4) Again, with stock settings itself the UI is smooth. The problem is what i have said under point 1.
5) Already done.
6) WIll try setting scheduler to CFQ (again, lemme read bout it first )
7) GPU rendering is already ticketd. Hardware overlays are not disabled (thought this would increase the lag).
Is NULL_22.1 a Touchwiz based ROM ? And Jelybam is an AOKP ROM I supose ?
Wouldn't want to do the last option.
Also, I saw that you have mentioned three ROMs in your signature. Siyah lets you dual boot right, how come 3 ? Or were you just talking about your preference ?
And, does siyah 1.8.9 for the S3 let us boot with NULL_22.1 and jellybam in dual boot? Are all these combos possible ?
Sammy + CM10.1 (this works, I knw )

From what I understood, it just boosts upto 1200Mhz on touch and needn't stay there. Right ? The only downside there is battery life I suppose ?
Am already using pegasusq and yes, sTweaks does have root access.
