Hi, i have just flashed the new HyperDroid v5.2.21 (Full wipe) and i wanted to know if i can overclock my SGS2 from 1.2ghz to 1.5ghz, if so how do i go about it?
Do i need to change the current kernel (XWL1)?
P.S ive heard its stable, but does it drain the battery?
Thanks XDA Community
Hello there. Yep you can overclock but you need a kernel that supports it. [url="http://gokhanmoral.com]SiyahKernel[/url] is a good choice. With that, use the Voltage Control app from the market.
However I know nothing about battery draining or stability... dualcore 1.2GHz mobile processor is more than enough for me, and the phone can get pretty hot under maximum load, same with the MALI GPU which can be overclocked to 400MHz (but since it has 4 cores and the phone has no active heatsinks it could get risky...)

I think AndroidMeda kernel already supports OverClocking...using this ROM for a quite long time...

Yes you can overclock and you can stick with the kernel that comes with Hyperdroid. I am currently Overclocking 1.6ghz max and 200 min. Not touching voltages though. Use No-Frills app to set it up. My advice though to you no point in overclocking as 1.2ghz is good enough as it is..And the kernel you are on is good enough...It is stable depending what voltage frequencies you use..I say leave it as they are. And like i said download No-Frills from the market..Set your clock speeds and that should be it..Choose a governor and off you go

No-Frills ? AndroidMeda Developers recommend Voltage Control (and I personally like it much more than No-Frills, too) with their kernel.
+ Here is a small guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036020 how to test your OC Settings, I use it when I am testing new voltages.
Thanks for the replies i will try out the no-frills app and see what happens. What would you say is the best governor to use? and wouldnt you recommend going over 200min?

Pongster uses No-Frills. The rest of the team uses Voltage Control. And to avoid any freezes or random reboots leave the voltage settings as they are till you get to grips with the overclocking. Hence why i suggested No-Frills as currently Voltage Control for me kept on reverting back to stock frequencies..And yes there is a way round it but it is to much of an effort

I am currently using ondemand and Sio as scheduler. You can not go wrong with that. Like i said..choose a governor choose a scheduler and let them do the work...I also do recommend Voltage control but No-frills is simple and does the job for you. And no i would recommend either go to 100min or stick with 200...I am currently on 1.6max and 200 min

I personally use Sleepy governor and noop scheduler, but everyone uses different governors and schedulers...
I think 200 min is OK...100 MHz is too low and 500 is too high...

Thanks for the support guys, and yeah i am new to this whole android/rooting scene so no-frills looks like a nice simple and easy option for now until i get to grips with things. i will try out the differen governors and schedulers and see whats best for me.
P.S Neo is yours running stable at the maximum 1.6ghz?

All governors and everything related is explained in this post.
I think smartassv2/noop is a good combo... It has a good battery/performance ratio.
also savagedzen/sio isn't bad....
Please dont post questions in the Development Section...You have the General Section for that...I request the Moderator to move this thread to the general section...Thank you... nd regarding ur question...I use "SmartassV2" without tweaking the I/O scheduler...
For this chipset i like SMartassV2 & deadline (SUPER FAST+STABLE)
But 4 Gaming its nice to hv Lagfree & VR (DEADLY FAST+...NOt SO STABLE , especially if u overclock also they might be heat issues)

errr. i thought i posted this in the general section?? seriously i thought i did..
on the other note. smartassv2 seems to be used by many. i shall give it a try
So i tested out the recommended settings from you guys
XPERIA MINI . ST15 . antutu benchmark scores . over clocked my cpu to 1516 with voltage control.
my current set up interactivex/sio (score 3951)
savagedzen/sio (score 3911)
smartassv2/noop (score 3991)
smartassv2/deadline (score 3953 )
lagfree/vr (score 3953)
not sure whether antutu is best app to test out but yeah.. lol btr than nth i guess
1.5GHz is not the best frequency for the Mini - it causes the CPU to freeze frequently. Even 1.4GHz frequency is not the best. 1,3GHz and interactive governor is the optimum for my Mini - fast, responsive, no lag, no freezing, 2 days of battery life.

seriously watch out with OC that high.
You can easily fry your mainboard/CPU and than it's goodby mini. Better have a mini that work's than having a fried mini...
at least watch the temperature.
just my 2 cents...

hey man thanks. i didnt really know what freq to set it to.. what would you recommend. the guy above ur post said 1.3 is good. agree?
First of all, ask yourself do you REALLY need OC. Or are you just doing it because you can
I personally think the mini is sufficiently fast on it's own?
But if you must OC then install a temperature monitoring app and let it warn you when the phone gets exceedingly hot.
Because if you play a game while OC-ed, the temp might jump real fast real high.
And by the time you figure that, the phone could fry.
I definitely wouldn't go over 1.5GHz. Even that's real high. 1.3GHz seems to be ok though
I run 1.8 with Brazilianwaw & bfq 24/7
With smartass2 can't pass 1.6

wow 1.8 ? thats crazy...
btw how do we know that our phones are overheating?? mine is usually around 28-35 on normal usage but when gaming it goes to around 40++ is that ok?
I think 50C would be maximum... Still don't keep it at 50C all the time.
There is no safe stuff.
Overclocking is dangerous in every damn way.
No one wants to brick their phone, they don't play with OC. Besides, performance boost is quite small, pointless to waste the juice.

a random question but does GO launcher slows down my system?? Is it better to stick to the original launcher?
The whole time that i have had the rezound i have had problems with the cpu settings sticking, and i read somewhere that using a script to set it works best. would this work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584508. and also since I have not really had luck with them sticking i would like to know what you guys think is the best governor, i was probably going to use smartassv2, wheatley, or pegesusq, but im not sure if they are the best for performance and all the explanations of them dont really tell if they perform in real life. Im looking for mostly performance, but i dont want something that will destroy my battery
edit: that link doesnt work, the download is missing, so what is a different way?

These are a bit dated and from another phone, but can provide a bit of insight into kernel governors and their behavior. Keep in mind a few technical points are different for our phone (different min/max clock speeds) but much is the same in general.
tl;dr Smartassv2 should meet your needs as a top performer while still gaining some battery savings. Try with noop or sio I/O scheduler. A modest undervolt, but avoid pushing it.

hey thanks for all that info
I have no problems keeping my Governor (Wheatly) set with System Tuner using the set CPU preference to remember after boot complete.
which rom make the wt19i consume less baterry ? Or some script i dont know, my baterry stand 6 h +- wtf :| Im using Lupus Kernel v3, with 24Mhz minimun and 1024Mhz max, smartassv2 and noop, but is not the cpu, is other thing...
how long is the battery for you? What rom and kernel you use?
I have a feeling its gonna end up like 'best ROM threads'
BTW there are already several threads on battery life on ROMs... so use the search tool...

You could try different governors.

First of all, running the phone on minimum 24MHz is very bad for performance and battery life!
The best minimum CPU frequency for Xperia 2011 MDPI devices is 250MHz. It consumes the least amount of juice.
Even less then lower frequencies.
Also try some other CPU governors like smartassv2, scary, savagedzen etc.
Try a different kernel. Kernels affect battery life the most.
I'd like to think that my ROMs are quite battery efficient
Or try X-PLODE.
or,
Try setting these two values, and watch battery life increase:
echo 1000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs;
echo 2000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs;
You can put those in any existing init.d script. Just make sure there are no other entries with different values!

If your running performance governor your cpu runs at Max Freq so battery is going to be terrible plus the fact you have high usage,
please give more detail like rom kernel etc if you use task killers or greenify, ram managers

pegasusq, LionHeart, SmartassV2 are good governors try to balance performance and battery.
row and noop are good schedulers, but sio performs better in dual core processors.
