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 applications that can do this, what would the kernel have to do with me over clocking?

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.

Well that's strange because I remember before I flashed a new kernel I was still able to overclock past stock

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.

This on rj14 kernel, on rj12 i can go even much lower without any freeze/reboot don't know why...
Another very strange thing is that I've tested a lot some lower voltages with some benchmark/stress/games tests, all passed, but as soon as I made a search on Play Store the device freezes with artefacts on screen.

You can use NSTools for undervolting. its 100% free and very useful.

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.

Which ROM and Kernel are you using? Just curious.

tegrak promised he was going to upgrade his tegrak overclock app to work with all kernels and it looks like he's delivered! (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101355
I'd installed the free version as tegrak suggested a couple months back to see if it would work with my phone. It didn't, but yesterday, it upgraded to version 0.6.0.9. I had a bullet kernel that allows OC to 1.2 ghz with no voltage adjustments. The free version doesn't OC but will let you know if the paid version will work with your phone.
The paid version ($2) works. At least on my phone it does. Maybe no need for special kernels anymore. I haven't tried it with a rom that doesn't support OCing and overvolting yet but I'm going to do that this weekend.
The higher speeds need overvolting and there's no directions on how to do it. tegrak overclock will officially only let you go to 1.3 ghz but if you select the fine "optimization" you can go way up beyond that. I immediately zoomed it up to 1600 mhz with no voltage adjustments and the phone locked up and started buzzing. I had to pull the battery and reboot. Don't do that! Go up a little at a time and then let the stability test run (pull down notification screen to see how many seconds are left.)
There are buttons to adjust by small amounts. You should be able to set it at 1.4 ghz with a little overvolting without too much trouble. Right now my phone is stable at 1524 mhz and core voltage of 1361 mv using an "on demand" profile of 100-1524mhz and it's not hot. Quadrant score at that setting was 3201. That's pretty good for a kernel that only supports OC to 1200 mhz.
I couldn't get to 1600 yet without locking up the phone -- needs more overvolting I figure.
If you have sgs overclock, after you up the speed, it will have the top speed bar at the bottom 100mhz and you will have to drag it up there. I don't know why this should make a difference but my quadrant score was in the 2700s before I did it.
Write down your figures 'cause if the phone locks up and you have to pull battery and reboot, the phone will ask you if you really want that speed that didn't work, and when you say "no" you'll be back at the beginning again.
There is more discussion in the 19000 forum on tegrak's 2.3.4 kernel (for I9000) and the OC app. according to tegrak's guide, the Galaxy S can be stably undervolted using his utility at various speeds and I guess save battery life:
speed standard core voltage undervolt
1000mhz 1275 mv 1225 mv
800mhz 1200 mv 1125 mv
400mhz 1050mv 950mv
200mhz 950mv 825mv
100mhz 950mv 800mv
There is a dialog in the app to set the voltage for each of these speeds in addition to setting the OC speed and voltage. I'm not sure whether tegrak has tested this on the various flavors of Galaxy S or whether he means the I9000. I'll just have to see.
here is his figure for a 1200mhz OC.
speed standard core voltage overvolt
1200mhz 1275 1310
Seems to be working good!

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.

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.
Ok, I got one question... Is it ok to use max default cpu speed (if I'm not overclocked). 1024... Or should I put a lower amount...
Sorry for my bad English.

As for me, 800 MhZ is enough for comfortable work.
Overclocking is needed only in "Heavy" games.

1024Mhz is stock speed and yes its safe to use.
If you using your phone only for calling/sms...then 800Mhz is enough.
For calls you can eaven use 600 and if you have your rom rooted you can set the voltage a bit lower.
But from my experience you can easy use the 1 ghz freq and the battery lasts long if you don´t use much your phone.
Neo works fine at 1.4 ghz from performance and battery.
If you use sio i/o and lagfree.
Depending on your CPU you could undervolt it at 1ghz and achieve the same results as it is on 800mhz. But yeah 1ghz is efficient enough just stay away from Live Wallpapers.
i run on stock tweaked perfect battery live on 1024 Mhz

Even devices with 600-700mhz is browsing web, watching YouTube, have live wallpapers, playing music, record videos......and etc
So why not use our phones too 700mhz
Please guys don't forget...minimum CPU with rooted phones have 122mhz
If they work even so low frequency...why not 600mhz....or up.
Edit. I'm using 122-1300mhz, screenoff 122-567mhz smartass/all frequency voltages lowered -50mV.

after root... i have installed SetCpu, i have overclock my processor to 1.4ghz.. the question is, can i use this setting for daily use? is it will cause my processor hot or damage??
Every CPU is different, some can handle 1.4, some can 1.6 and some can't even 1.3GHz.
I've been using 1.4GHz max and 400GHz min, and I get about 4700 in Quadrant, and I reduced homebutton lag to minimum. Some can't see difference between 1.4 and 1.2 and some can (like me). Works just fine.

I've overclocked all my previous androids & never had issue
OT: I was surprised that a stock 1.2Ghz ph can't go higher than 1.6!?
my moto defy is b/l locked 800Mhz @ stock & I run it @ 1.2Ghz w/o probs. 50% increase... SGS-II should be able to do 1.8Ghz on that math
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.

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