First, you crack the bootloader.
When you've done that, I'm guessing you allready figured out how to OC the CPU

For now just use the overclock widget. set top two settings as high as you want up to 998 click on off screen frequency. set between 246 and next number you choose. set at boot save. define settings at what mhz you like and experiment. do not run on screen and off screen freq at max. i have had my battery sweating and even plugged in all day and not gained a single % of charge. until boot loader is cracked.... this is all you can do.

Although it's impossible today because of bootloader, note it's always dangerous and not great to overclock embedded cpus.
You can't overclock a lot, as you have a battery (X10 works about 5-10 hours with full speed - 998MHz), and the CPU only has passive elements to cool. Overclock can damage your CPU and your motherboard, stress all elements and low your battery life (battery charge and cycle of charge). (Even there's a self shutdown when too hot)
You can get an idea of overclock on Nexus forum, as we have the same CPU (Snapdragon 8250) - I saw overclock up to 1300 MHz, but it's really not looking safe to me
Thanx everyone..

Depends also on the voltage (as long as your voltage isn't increasing as you overclock, it isn't really that harmful as long as you watch the heat), and what you have your underclock speed set to with screen off (as this can in some sense reverse some of the possible "damage")...
I had my htc hero overclocked to 710 with the screen on, and underclocked 176 with the screen off and it ran a lot better.
I digress, I see no purpose in doing so when you already have a 1ghz processor that is super fast. I only really see a point in overclocking if the possible benefit is greater than the possible harm, and in this circumstance, I really don't think you would see that much benefit.

I have seen considearable difference when maxed out. however the dangers are high of overheat. ive done it once and onetime only. kept on and off screen at 998 and hat it plugged in all day with out a single gain of battery. it was like on life support and was hot enough the phone was sweating even when sitting next to a fan blowing on it constantly.:-( since then i have made adjustments to run between 700 and 998mhz on screen and min 246 and 400mhz when screen off.
if looking for better performance without the overclock and good drain of battery, download and install sysctl from market and follow settings below.

Not in all instances. Depends on the quality of the chip. Lot of chips are capable of handling higher speeds and temps but are set lower quality assurance.
For instance, I've got a NookColor that has base CPU set at 800MHz and is now overclockable to 1.2GHz
We'll have to do stress tests on some to see what they're capable of.

Agreed.
My Motorola Defy has a Omap3630 that comes at 800MHz,stock but can be easily overclocked to 1.3GHz without a sweat.
Just depends on the chip's capacity of "Stress".

Actually yes,many people have this.It's the CPU overheating.Beware,it doesn't get hotter than other CPUs on the market,but heat disipation on the GS2 is minimal as the phone is so thin.
The only thing you can try is lowering the CPU clock to 1000Mhz or even 800Mhz when gaming.You can even boost your GPU to 400Mhz up from 267Mhz and don't overheat then.There will also be no performance hit as games run mainly on the GPU and two cores running at 1GHz are more than enough to handle the background.
I havent noticed the phone getting super hot as some people have noted. I do notice that it does get a lot hotter if its plugged in and charging while playing a game. Are you by chance charging while playing? If so, I'd try and play while not charging to see if it gets really hot still.
No this isnt while charging and it literally was 5 minutes of playing! How do I change the cpu and gpu speeds safetly?
it also depends on the game itself, many of them are just poorly programmed
to your question: setcpu is the app.

I dont have an SGS2 yet but your statement has a total flaw, if games mainly use the GPU then there should be zero need to underclock the CPU.

Have you ever seen anything running on the GPU ONLY?What I mean is that the GPU processes the graphics,which are important when playing a game.The CPU takes on other tasks,like opponent's AI(artificial intelligence),background and foreground code running and many other things.Sound maybe?All these things keep the CPU running at 100% for no reason.Lower the clock and voila!
Check first before you try to say I'm wrong next time.I don't usually say bullsh!t with such things.
As I understand solution for "998 MHz with screen on" bug is found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225411&page=17#post16944722
We need to replace only one governor.
I don't want to play with different ROMs and kernels and I'm looking for simplest solution.
Is it possible to compile it as a module ("ondemand_mod" for ex.) and add it to stock ROM?
Or any other (simple) way?

Exactly, this is the right section for such request.
However, I can't help but wonder: is this really a "problem"?
No offence to anyone, but I find that the phone is very snappy
when on max frequency... The big problem for me, would be if it
didn't go into Deep Sleep immediately after turning the screen off
and stayed at min frequency for an extended period.
When the screen is on (aka using the phone) I'd like it to be as FAST
as possible. That's the reason I use the minmax governor.
Anyway, again, I don't mean to argue with anyone, I am just
presenting my point of view.

Yes, it's really problem.
Higher frequency - higher power consumption. Moreover - with higher frequency CPU used with higher voltage so consumption is even more higher. So at 998 MHz CPU eats about 5 times more battery than on 246MHz.
With properly tuned governor I don't feel any real lags or slowdowns.
And, when screen is on CPU load is usually is lower than 20% at full frequency. So I don't want to waste my battery.
As I see it's possible to compile and use governor as module.
Could someone compile it? And assemble as xRecovery package?
Or point me where to read about compiling for arm, where to get tools and so on...

The thing is, on 245 MHz, you can't get any kind of decent performance.
Try this: set the minimum and maximum CPU frequency with SetCPU to 245 and attempt to use the phone normally.
Also, you might be right about voltage, but if the CPU is forced to work on lower freqs when it actually needs higher, there's definitely stress and increased battery consumption.
My phone lasts for more than 24 hours and it's always at max frequency when the screen is on. No lag, no freezes, no drain.
I do agree that the ondemand governor might not function as expected but I fail to experience the actual problem. That might be just me though.

There is no need to work on 245MHz as proper governor rise frequency automatically when it's necessary.
And really no stress for CPU to work an low frequency at full load. Moreover - CPU will consume more power at 500Mhz with 45% load than at 250Mhz with 95% load.
Sometime I use phone for navigation - long time with screen on and very low load. In this scenario battery drains very fast.
And last one - I like to have everything working properly. In case that I'll really need high frequency all the time I'll use other governor. I just want to have a choice.
I need a simple solotion for this too..I use z kernel and I found that Thego2s kernel fixed this problem..I was going to flash that kernel but think that has a bug and stoucks on logo ..can some one sayas a simple way?
Yes, I think a lot of people would prefer to use just small and simple fixes rather than replacing the whole kernel with a lot of nice but (personally) unnecessary features.
I am waiting for developers to release a fix for this problam
Has it ever been heard of that someone killed their gs2 from using 1600mhz in daily use?
My gs2 likes to have 1475 as a minimum voltage for 1600.

Ever rev an engine into the red? Did the engine blow up on the spot? unlikely. However if you constantly KEEP the engine in the red it will eventually break down.
Same thing for OC phones. The processor in the SGS was designed for somewhere around the 1ghz mark. Pushing it 110% likely wont kill it, they build allowances and tolerances into these things to help them last longer. Push that processor to 150% and you are risking serious damage.
Monitor the heat, if you notice its getting HOT then you should really pull the battery and let it sit for a while. Nobody here can say its safe to OC your phone like that, its a calculated risk you obviously didnt spend a lot of thought into.
TLDR: Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.
Actually its my thought the reason I haven't been using it on 1.6 yet, and why I'm asking. Iv been ocing my pcs since the late 90s
Now the reason I'm asking here is because the cortex a9 was designed for up to 2gHz operation, but this phones design may or may not provide adequate cooling, that's why I'm asking if other people have any negative experiences with this.
Were not actually over reving the chip its more of a environment issue with cooling/ventilation.

You do have to have in mind that PCs are much safer to OC, so we shouldn't really compare brtween them.
Regarding the Phone OC, I haven't OC'd mine and probably never will because I have all the horsepower I need, but I think the "safest" OC is between 1.3 and 1.4GHz, since that's a range that all CPUs are designed to overtake (max 200MHz range ).
mine's been oc'ed, uv'ed pretty much within the week I bought the phone in june.
I've got it set to clock between 500-1600Mhz on demand and I've not had a problem yet. Mind you, not many tasks you do on the phone will actually require 1600Mhz and my phone's CPU clocks mostly between 500-800Mhz.
Playing some games or doing quick video conversion will push to 1600Mhz but I rarely play games on my phone and video conversion is short process - burst of 90 seconds to 120 seconds at most. So I think you should be alright so long as you don't leave your phone CPU at 1600Mhz at all times.
Like you said, it is the cooling and ventilation system on the phone, which you can't modify.. Unlike PCs, where you can install bigger fans or water cooling systems. So if the phone isn't constantly cooking itself inside, should be alright.
You should already know that OCing anything is dangerous since you overclock PCs,so I'll skip that part.
Well,if it's dangerous for the phone...It depends.Yes,the processor will die sooner.Yes,you risk frying your device.No,you don't have to push it to the limit(don't push it more that 1450μV,that's the general advice for 45nm chips).However,my thoughts are:
-I won't still have the device when it's time for its CPU to get fried,so I don't actually care.
-Something else,probably the Amoled screen,will make the phone useless by breaking sooner than the CPU will.
-This winter here is really cold(for our standards anyway),so heating has been taken care of.During hotter weather,I kept multiple temperature profiles in SetCPU,so that frequencies get lower as temperatures get higher.
In the end,what matters most to me is to have the experience I want.And with OCing my phone I get it.I'm happy with it,that's all I wanted.So,it's personal preference.Some feel they don't need it,others feel they do.Decide for yourself,that's the best advice.
PS:In case you are using Siyah kernel or CF-Root with Tegrak overclock,try lowering your clock by small steps(8Mhz is the smallest step) for a sane voltage,say 1400μV.Sometimes small increments make big differences.
Thanks for the advice guys. Appreciated.

Don´t oc sgs2.
I got my mobo fried without oc.
Service center replaced everything else but housing and screen.
I used it 2-3 hours in a row, installed programs and put it in charger.
In the morning, it was completely dead.
Overheated because of the use and charging.
So think about twice before using oc 24/7.

I bet you didn't know there are faulty products out there that show their faults during intensive usage,eh?Mine's running at 1.6GHz(give or take a few MHz ) for months.I've played games while charging countless times.And my phone is still here,intact,so that I can write this here.

Of course my sgs mobo could have been faulty.
When the mobo fried it was hot, i mean hot.
I didn´t look temperatures.
It didn´t wake up even using jig.
I sended it to service.
If they had succesfully woke it up, they wouldn´t fix it on warranty (rooted).
Normally oc would be fine because it´s using powersave and underclock it.
But if you play like 2 hours on 1,6Ghz it can get too hot (over 60c on cpu).
I can´t recommend that kind of temperature.
And nobody here knows what kind of vrm´s phone has.
Also cooling plates are not designed for massive oc/voltage.
Of course temperature depends on voltage more than the clock speeds.
It´s up to user if he want to use it that kind of voltages/speeds.
I would´t use it 1600Mhz/24/7.
Generally i know what i´m talking about (using water on pc...)
Just look for temperatures and don´t give too much voltage (as low as possible).
Of course you don´t know safe voltage limits, but try and look what other have been using.
Don´t oc much if you don´t know what are you doing.
@tolis626 Hi, I have oc'd to 1.4ghz for the last few weeks, and I have under volted it to 12.75mV, the same as you, have you had any problems at that voltage? Also, is your 1200mhz voltage stable as it seems very low, to say that it was, at stock, 13mV. Furthermore, have you ever tried to under volt 1600mhz please?

Well,since 1400MHz and 1600MHz aren't stock clocks,you don't actually undervolt them.You rather choose a voltage for them as there isn't a standard one.
My phone is stable with the voltages in my sig(I've only changed 200Mhz and 500MHz voltages a little but too bored to update my sig ) for months,so yeah,I'd say I don't have any problems.This doesn't mean that no one will.Your phone might need 1325μV or 1225μV for 1400MHz.Every phone's CPU is unique in its own way.
@tolis626 Thanks very much, one more stupid question please, will under volting from stock Samsung voltages, even if it's stable, decrease performance compared to stock voltages on an average exynos processor please, aslo will undervolting from original kernel clock speed increase the processors life span? I have researching this and came up with nothing.
Will it break your phone? Not directly. It will shorten the lifetime.
Besides that the heat can indirectly kill your device.
I'm just curious:
Why overclocking the device? I have mine underclocked to 1 GHz max. It still has enough power to handle everything.

No,undervolting will in fact prolong your processor's lifetime,albeit negligibly,because with less voltage less heat is generated.It's plain physics.
Overclocking on the other hand will reduce your CPU's lifetime.The damage(mostly electromigration) is dependent on the CPU and how much you overclock.Quite frankly again,you won't still have the phone when enough damage is done for it to break.If the slightly lower battery life doesn't bother you that much,I say go for it.

Thank you very much for all your help I tried undervolting 1200mhz more, I got to 1075mv and it was rock stable, I don't think I am going to try anything lower than that. Just for info, I'm on SiyahKernel v2.6.2 Thanks again
CPUs care a lot about voltage and don't give a rip about MHz except for the minor heat increase. The chip in my phone is a bad clocker though. If I could get 1400mhz to work at close to the stock 1200mhz voltage I would do it in a heartbeat. Sadly mine requires a healthy bump so I abstain. At least until I can afford to replace it
Number one rule of overclocking, don't push the voltage if you can't afford to replace it
I discussed the topic of overclocking processors with a friend of mine who design cellphone CPUs. He told me that over the lifetime of a CPU, the insulating oxide layers break down. This process is considerably faster at 40% extra power and frequency. So don't expect it to last as long as a normally clocked CPU. So the question is how long it would normally last.
There's something odd with Snapdragon 625 on RN4 (according to me).
I have noticed that the maximum clock is half of the times coming down to 1.6GHz or less instead of 2.0GHz, especially when charging when the phone is warm (but temperature isn't high enough to trigger down clocking-- around 30-40 degree Celsius).
This also happens when the phone is not charging and I am doing some task like using apps or playing games when the phone's hardly heating up (afterall, SD 625 is known for its no heating issues).
It looks like whenever I am doing some task that doesn't involve much processing, the max clock comes down (but when I am performing some CPU intensive task such as installing an app, the max clock stays at 2GHz).
I am using interactive governor. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT THE MAXIMUM CPU CLOCK WHICH IS AFFECTED IN MY CASE. Using Kernel Adiutor to reset max freq. to 2GHz hardly works. It seems like the system ignores my clock settings. Even if i set the governor to performance, the max clock still keeps coming down and going up.
What's the deal with this processor?
Also, all the 8 cores are ALWAYS ON. There's no option for CPU hotplug in Kernel Adiutor.
Please someone shed some light over this.
CPU is thermal throttling not only when CPU is hot, but also when battery is hot. Also it is using a frequency which it needs, if it's using 1.6ghz it means it doesnt need more for whatever you have been doing.

It also happens when the phone is not warm/hot.
Please note that I'm not talking about the current frequency that is being used, I AM TALKING ABOUT THE MAX FREQ that is pulled down and up when I am working (even when just simply using the phone for little tasks which doesn't really heat the phone up).
While using any governor, the max freq should stick to what it is set to and the current freq varies. But here, the max freq is varying along with the current freq. Is this some feature or what?
If this is actually due to heating, is the management so bad that even 35-40 degree celsius makes the CPU throttle? Generally throttling happens at much higher temperatures.
This is 14nm SoC, it has much lower temperatures but also much lower max temp. (throttling start on lower temps)
You can't heat up this CPU to 60C or more like Snapdragon 8xx for example, because it will shut down.

LOL means I can't make good use of the 2GHz 8 core CPU for long because it'll heat up and simply throttle down. That's too stupid to have a powerful processor.
i am having heating issue. I found no thread discussing.. I am in Miui9 global beta version. Rooted withMagisk using redwolf twrp. My top part of screen heats in normal usage for 5 minute in wifi/data.I have checked the cpu temp( maximum 42) and battery tem( 36 to 38)..But the screen become hot..any work around? Is it a software or hardware issue? how to resolve it
