[Q] SGS II Live OC! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I own an SGS 1 so I'm on CM10.1 with Semaphore kernel which is supporting live oc (and I've managed to live oc it up to 128% working stable), so it's a month now I've purchased a used sgs2 and wanted to get it higher as my older sgs1, having in mind it's dual core and using 1gb ram I think it's going to be lot faster than my sgs1
So I saw there are plenty of options for roms based on cm10.1 and even cm10.1 itself as on sgs1!
But although I've searched quite a lot, haven't found easily a kernel supporting live oc!! Isn't there such an option for sgs2?
Also whats' the limit of OC/LIVE OC in rough words of course (I know that it depends on each certain device) and what are your average scores in Antutu?? Are they really around 12000?
EDIT: Since I've been start searching for two days now on issues other people deal with I've found lot of threads and posts commenting about the internal storage that it's divided in 2 parts.....2gb for the whole rom-apps + almost 12 gb for the user!!
Now is this true?!?!
I'm using the sgs1 8gb internal card as a whole....isn't it the same here on SGS 2?
So if I install let's say Asphalt 7 which screams for almost 1.5gb, data goes straight to 2gb "system" partition?? Or maybe "data" folder is on the 12gb partition?
Can't this be used as a whole?
Thank you all
C'ya

I believe I ve placed my question in the right place...but no answer from anyone???!!!

Search in original Android Development section for kernels that supports oc.
And the maximum oc is 1.6 ghz but the stable is 1.4.ghz but the oc will drain the battery even faster.
And you don't need to oc this phone his 1 gb ram and 1.2 ghz will not give you any lag on any hd apps.

Those 2 partitions that are divided our internal storage is system and sd card.
In the system are going all apps that you'll gonna install and in the sd card will going all data from those apps.
Hope I clear you out

Ok then its like system folder I have now on sgs1 which is even limited in just mb, so now I ll have 2gb for apps and rom and sd card for data of apps and games...thats good
Photos and video recordings are going straight to sd card(not the 2gb partition) hopefully??

Ext. Questions!

Hey guys! The last time I flashed Darktremor's apps2sd,I swap 0 and ext.512mb. And using ext.4 now! I heard swapping other number and ext on 1GB would give us more space to install apps! Is that true?

its first time for me heard something like that. generally 512 MB fo EXT is very very very enough

Yeah, bigger partition -> more space. Kinda, hmmm, obvious, LOL.
(I have 444 MB out of 1GB free at the moment on sd-ext.)
I have 1GB of Ext4 part. And only 302 MB are free. How many are my apps? 257.
Messed with the ext. stuff and realised the small the size if ext. 2, more apps can be installed!

hehehe dude how do u keep them from firing up on their own and eating the battery
the size of the partition generally depends on how many apps you have...i have hundred apps and am using a 512 mb partition with 200 mb free....if you have a 2 gb card..512 mb partition is sensible enough..but if you have a card with higher memory ...you can get a 1 gb partition...which you ll require if you are installing around 200 to 300 apps...
I had a question: Can we move media files like songs and videos to the partition??

I guess you can but it's beside the point. You created a partition so you have more space to install your apps, why would you want to clutter it with media?

Higher sd card's class means faster r/w speed. I'd suggest you to use class 6 or at least class 4.

well yeah i know that..but lets say i would use maximum of 350 mb ob apps and other things ...then i can use the rest for media file....as we have only standard sizes like 250 mb,512 mb....can you explain how do we do that...
You cannot in recovery. Partition it in PC.

Yes it does but IMO, swapping to sdcard is not very useful because it is the slowest memory in our device and swappin to it is not very efficient and I forgot to mention that sdcards normally have a high rate of data corruption and failures and swapping to it will only increase the risk of corrupting the card. Instead you can use swap to cache or zram, it would be more efficient and useful. Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to spoil this thread or something (I hope I'm not spoiling it) just wanted to explain something useful :thumbup::beer:

My advice is too leave everything that is on the internal memory as default where they are.
They are there for a reason.

Why not? In the camera settings you can choose where to store your pictures. Mine are always stored on Extsdcard. Everytime I flash a new ROM (and I flash a lot beleive me) I use Revolution HD super-wipe so it clears my internal cards completely. By putting them on my Extsdcard I never lose them(still you should make backup all the time just in case).

Managing free space

I have around 3gb free of internal storage. How is everyone managing their storage? Are yall using any apps to delete cache files? Refer to the pic for what my storage looks like.

Not many big apps installed eh?
Install a couple big games and watch internal storage go bye-bye. So much for letting the OS do its thing.
I use DirectoryBind to redirect big apps to my sdcard. App isn't perfect, but it works.

Actually I thought I had a decent amount of apps installed. I have 16 games but I dont play the big ones usually since I hate most on screen controls. Thanks for the app though.

Some larger games have the option within the game itself; Bard's Tale for example. The option was offered when downloading the 1.8 GB datafile. The game still partly installs to the internal sdcard.

How'd you get Miscellaneous files so low? I have system memory in miscellaneous files. That can't be moved can it?
Not sure, but it may be because I am on Sprint and have android 4.1.1. If you notice, my 16 GB internal memory is reported as 10.95 GB. The other screenshots from VZW report the full 16 GB.

So if you were to flash an aokp or cm rom will you still have sd swap or will it revert back to its original form.

Android ram expansion to SD?

Does anybody know if this is posible with android? Similar to have windows has turboboost. Like one would get a very fast read/write sd card to add more ram to there phone. I know many phones the internal storage is pretty slow so a high speed microsd would be alot faster than full ram trying to read and write to storage which we have all seen drag extremely.
Im content with the speed of my phone but its always out of ram :\

I don't even mind if it uses the whole SD card. I'd love to find like a 4gb crazy fast card. I don't know exactly what ram swap means. Unless it puts suspended program ram on sd
