I know the older brick kernel allowed GPU overclocking, and I was curious as to whether this option is (or will be made) available in the latest ICS builds?
While I know this won't net any tangible real world benefit, I just love tinkering with things. It was one of the reasons I loved my gtab so much.
Thanks in advance.

It isn't available with the current kernel. From what I've heard, even a mild overclock produces a noticeable boost in framerate of some games.

Brick kernel should still wish shouldn't it?

Well I have tried several times with different kernels from different people, and none of the kernels that allow for overclocking seem to run. I dont know if its an issue with the roms not being compatible with the kernel. I am also running the RED clockwork recovery. I would just like some help to possibly get a kernel that allows overclocking to actually work.
Well the overclocking kernels are all for eclair android. There are no overclocking kernels for froyo roms and eclair kernels will not work with froyo roms.

tbh, overclock is overrated anyway....give me underclocked, optimized kernels, and im happy
I figured it had to do with the roms, are there any decent eclair roms available?

stick with froyo, eclair is old
Overclocking will give you big numbers you can show off to all your friends, but does very little in terms of improving real-world performance.

While I largely agree, I will say it depends on your hardware. With this phone, overclocking will do little good, as the hardware has more than enough power for most anything already. On the Eris though, overclocking from the factory stock 528MHz to 710MHz made quite a significant and very noticeable boost in performance. That, however, was because the CPU was underpowered and struggled to do the most basic tasks, obviously any speed boost would be noticeable. That's not the case on the Fascinate.

ok thanks for the info....came from the eris so I figured that overclocking would make a slight noticeable difference.
Since all this new hype about the phone being rooted has been coming out. Theres on thing I've been concerned with since I've planned on getting the phone. Will we be able to use Setcpu once root is released, and if so can we immediately clock up to 1.5ghz? Is it in the coding already, or is this kernel just officially set at 1.2?
I figured someone might have an answer since they achieved root through the kernel and have poked around in there
We wont know till we all have root. But I highly doubt it, we will most likely need a custom kernel to enable overclocking. and having root doesnt give us kernel source code.
Bah! That's right, I've been so used to having everything available w/ the Evo 4G that I forgot about source code...
Any thoughts on the actual functionality of Setcpu though? Because I know for some phones/kernels Setcpu does not play well (or even at all sometimes) aka early times w/ Tegra 2's (even though their NAND and source coding were completely different)
I'd stay away from SetCPU for the time being, even if a future kernel supports overclocking. Our CPU has two cores with totally independent core clocks, so an app that is only designed to control a single clock wouldn't even know how to deal with our setup.
If I were you I'd try to let go of the old mindset of "faster, faster" and focus on getting rid of bloatware and generally streamlining the OS. This phone is already so fast that overclocking isn't going to accomplish anything except burn the battery faster and maybe return some slightly higher benchmark scores, but you probably won't notice any improvement in speed, because how can you get any faster than "immediate"??

With the flux capacitor they just released of course, dont you read the development forum?
But good point about all the other programs being made for 1 core OCing. We probably wont be able to use anything to overclock with until someone releases a version specifically for this phone.
I prefer to use these programs as a way of undervolting and limiting speed to get better battery life rather than overclocking for more speed.
Well until an optimized ROM and s-off was cracked I just wanted a little more oomph to get sense running a little smoother but I really have no complaints withthe phone. Just wish sense was a little smoother. (Yes twss)

Once we get custom roms without all the bloat I am sure sense will fly

I completely agree, because it ran decently well on the OG evo =)
For the people that maintained root through the update; are you able to use an app like setcpu or something to underclock the newly overclocked kernel?
Why would you want to underclock it?

to improve battery live, but really undervolting would be more useful.
for underclocking, the companion core works much better and is very effecient for standby/basic use senarios.
undervolt won't work until we can flash custom kernels, which need a custom recovery to flash them, which needs an unlocked bootloader.
i don't think apps like setcpu know how to deal with tegra3's 4+1 core setup right now, someone can correct me if i'm wrong
My guess is that the UV/UC battery gains are going to be quite small with the ninja core taking the majority of the strain. There should be some kernel source from nvidia which indicates what the transition is from the different states - maybe the best gain would come from locking out the G processors.
I saw some LP <->G switching info in dmesg with a pre-ICS version, but it seems not to be there any more...
Well the reason I asked was because I'm one of the people who gets nothing but boot loops after the ics update. After trying everything, I was wondering if this could be done, which would narrow the issue down to a kernel problem.

Hey guys, so I was wondering if there's a processor management solution out there compatible with XXLPQ.
Also, if anyone knows if there's an app that lets you disable one processor and OC the other? I'd imagine that'd increase battery life without reducing the performance.
Anyway, thanks for reading!
ICS is designed for multi core support, I believe OC one core and disable the other will screw the overall performance.

Do really you think thousands of engineers working at Samsung, the top electronics company in the world, are idiots and some loser in his parents' basement is going to come up with a better CPU management solution?

GTFO. I didn't ask for your piece of **** unhelpful hate. The guy above explained, ICS is designed for multi-core.
I also mentioned that it shouldn't take a drastic hit on performance, it will, but I doubt most of us would notice. Now go back to your basement and jack off like you always do you f***ing loner.

Cool. Do you know an over-clocking app compatible with this OS version though? I'd like to underclock my 2 cores to 800mHz to save some battery.

Ok not LPQ yet but.
Siyah kernel and extweaks app lets you play with the thresholds that the 2nd core cuts in and out. I think other custom kernels do it too.
I haven't played with it but worth investigating. Only a matter of time before Samsung release kernel sources and these blokes update the goods.

That sounds pretty spot on actually, I'll look into that stuff.
Hi there,
I have CM 13 installed on my i9300, and on another i9300 too, that is of my wife (exactly the same rom), but mine is slower. I don't know why, but, since CM11 that I install the rom on both i9300, and her galaxy is more efficient, less buggy and faster responsive. Even on a benchmark test, her device is more powerfull.
I don't know much what is the cause.
Can someone help me to overclock my i9300? I don't know what to do...
Thanks.

Some particular phones may have bad processors or they don`t work at full potential. It`s a mass produced product, a bunch of them may have some flaws.
In order to overclock your cpu/gpu, you have to flash a custom kernel. If you have the official Cm 13 Nightlies, you can download Boeffla kernel along with the boeffla config and over/underclock your cpu/gpu.
For more information and download links, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rnel-boeffla-kernel-2-2-stable-27-03-t2449408.

Many thanks!
No Sdcard on both phones ? Just asking cause it can have an impact on performance.
Are you sure that you're running the same build? Myself I know that some tend to be much slower than other ones which are as responsive as brand new phones.
Do NOT overclock phones, that doesn't even make them noticeable faster, it's all bull****. Instead underclock your CPU (I have no clue how) so you have a longer battery life and the device might not heat up as much.
Best solution is to do hard reset, that's what I did after flashing many different ROMs, my phone simply slowed down and that put it back on track.
