[Q] What are the risk of overlock in SG3? - Galaxy 3 General

I Want make a overlock in my Sg3,but what are the risk?
-Greettings-

crashing more than usual is the main problem i think, lowered cpu life span, possible overheating that can cause more trouble in short-the risks are the same as when OC-ing a pc cpu. I just flashed kyrillos 4.1 OC and everything works fine, faster and smoother and my phone did not melt or caught fire. The clock was 1300MHz but i lowered it to 1066, just to make shure everything goes well.

I see in the market apps whos: cpu master.It is ok to do a overlock?

it won't work without a custom kernel. U need to flash a new rom, Kyrillos and Apocalypse have OC versions but Apocalypse is still in beta version. Once u do that u can overclock, i'd recomend setcpu - if rom developers are recomending it than it has to be good,

You need a kernel with built-in ext4 capability. The custom ROMs mostly have one. If you are running a stock kernel, you must install one, e.g. from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978823

[Q] Cyanogenmod 6.1stable: Overclocking? Market?

Hi... sorry to bother you... but i can't figure out those things by myself.
Why the kernel in the stable version isn't overclockable? While in the nightlies it is? should i flash it apart?
Then... i flashed the google apps first, and then the patched market v6... but it's not working... why?

You sure you can't overclock your CM6.1.0 Stable?, i can overclock mine..
You can always flash the kernel that HCDR.Kernel v4.1 provided somewhere here in this forum section, i think its the same kernel that CM6 is using for all its build starting RC2.
Oh BTW, here's the link for your convinient..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
No Way! i flashed the kernel that you gently posted, but when i run "set cpu" the max value i can set is 528 :S
The market isn't working neither... Stable sto cazzo! (italian idiom to say it's not stable at all)
It's slower then my previous cyanogen... which was, if i recall, nightly build6!
Anyway... i read a few comments on the main thread of the cyanogenmod... i understood that build 50 is one of the best... do you advice me to flash that nightly, or do you have a better idea?
i am using the Stable build,, i did not flashed the HCDRKernel,, IMO it is incorporated in the CM stable build,, do wipe ur data and install the ROM again.. u should be able to OC... BTW nightly#50 is also a gud one.. u cn giv a try to it too..
I think you need the v5.2 market patch, as the mod doesn't have the latest market version. I suspect you'll need to wipe and reinstall to undo the changes v6 has done to the market.
Just check the CPU speed steps on "Info" in SetCPU app, if you have more steps above the 528 - there is OC kernel.. Mine has max value of 528 too, but t is enough for me, cause it's quite fast.
I made some profiles for battery levels by decreasing priority and it perfectly overclocks CPU if I want.
Also, yesterday flashed market v6 on CM6.1 and it works smooth.
same here... max value i can set is 528...
try another kernel, the 2.6.32.27 oc uv xtra neon fp, didn't work...
godspeed don't work...

[Q] Overclock..

Hi,
I flashed the non-OC version of Kyrillos` ROM because my phone freezed with the other..
Is there a method to overclock my phone or is it gonna freeze anyway?

I had freezing issue's with the BE (whats used in kyrillos's rom, though the version in his rom may be newer) but I didnt have freezing issues with the apocalypse beta3 OC version, so you could try that out if OCing is very important to you
Ok thx.
I'm gonna try the Apocalypse ROM. : )
Just one more question. Do I have to remove my partitions first?

I could be wrong, but being a veteran overclocker of desktop CPU's, I know that some processors don't overclock as well as some else might, so one thing you could try is set a lower speed, like 1200mhz. Or start from 667 increasing 100 at a time and running a quadrant each time until It's not stable anymore (eg. freezes).

This has been floating around here too, together with the trying different frequencies (end users cant really try 100 at a time, since they dont change the kernel, only 667 833/866 1000 and 1.3ghz unless other values have been added that i am not aware of). I know I had problems with one OCed kernel (regardless of how much I OCed) but didnt have problems with another, so the OC method might have something to do with it (reverse engineering vs sources or stuff like that). It's usually not that easy (or well documented/something similar that my brain cant verbalize atm) to overclock a phone as it is to overclock a desktop.
Yeah, I know It's nothing like overclocking a desktop CPU, but the bottom line is they're both processors and components that work the same way.
Set the min and max frequency the same, it worked for me

Hi
Download ADB
adb push fs.convert /sdcard/android/data/fugumod/fs.convert
But if you set the same value for min and max your battery life will decrease drammatically....... min frequency is very important when the phone is idle.....
Overclocking got a bit mystic for me I tried the Apocalypse and Kyrillos ROMs with OC. Could not get a stable work from them. Tried changing the frequencies (min and max) and all sort of stuff, but nothing helped. TouchWiz was periodicaly freezing, on big apps like Angry Birds the phone would just hang up and I had to reboot.
Being tired of that, I flashed a stock ROM (being XWJPE for Ukraine), rooted it, and then flashed FuguMod Kernel 2.3. Works fine for me. No freezes, no hang ups, and I didn't have to mess with the frequencies. I suggested anyone who can not get a Custom OC ROM to work properly, to try doing it manualy on a clean stock ROM.
Good luck!
Hi,
sorry to resurrect quite an old post, but i would like to know which (free) app you guys use to manage cpu frequency. I tried some but it was either over-complex or not working decently (not detecting non-extreme frequencies).
I am using kyrillos 5.0 and it looks like my phone is going to 1300 MHz as soon as i ask it anything...
SetCPU is the only one i know^^

why is this happening ..i have tried several times..everything goes right n i partion the sd card even but cant see it in titanium backup..help would be appreciated...n also do i have to convert..?? i am on indroid 4..and i did not flash any kernel..

Fastest rom to overclock with?

Hey,
I see a lot of people using CM7 is this really the best one?
Also till how many mhz I can overclock on that one?
Yes Cm7 IS really great, in fact you can customize almost everything, and I really like that feature...
As for overclocking you can overclock I think to max of 768mhz(if I'm wrong somebody please correct me)...maybe you can a little bit more but I think it is kernel related...
Hope it helps,
Best regards

Irrespective of which ROM you choose, it is the kernel which allows (or disallows) you from Overclocking. Till date, there are 2 primary kernels which are available - HCDR.Kernel by Jacob and nFinity by arco, and both OC support upto 768MHz. (I think Deep-Knight has recently developed a new kernel for his ROM, which allows OC upto 600MHz)
Because of this, you can overclock your stock ROM also, if you so wish, by simply flashing a custom kernel.

Hi!
Which kernels can I use for original rom, if I want to overclock? HCDR, or Deep, or what? It will make the phone instable, or not?
Thank You!

You can use any. nFinity MC4 offers more features though, like Smartass Governor. It can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995301
Else, you can use HCDR Kernel also, if you wish, and decide for yourself which suits you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
It shouldn't make the phone unstable at all. But, in any case, make a Nandroid Backup beforehand.
Thank You
Well M using hell fire .. Cm7 based ....
Which is stable till 729 Mhz overclock m using max 729 and min 490 (I guess)
Phone is Much faster than before and love playing angry birds
I read all the 2 posts, but Im not sure to change the original slow kernel, for a faster. All have some bugs, battery life, wifi, etc...
I dont know, which could be better for the stock rom, or which could be better than the original.
Anyway, I want to try one of that, but I dont know which.
How can I flash just the kernel? And also back up my programs with titanium, or mybackup?
It clears everything like the rom flashing?
Ok, I made it, its cool, and faster. Thanks for the help.
is the overclocking "app" in standard cm7? Or i must go to market or anything else to download it?

how to overclock and gain maximum battery and performance

Hi everyone... i have samsung galaxy S I9000 base rom JVP 2.3.4 and CWM recovery 3... its rooted can anyone suggest me how to gain maximum battery and phone performance ...
which is the best Overclocking app
and wat are the frequecy to be set
please advice me how to gain maximum phone performance and battery performance...
Thanks in advance
wondering the same thing.
could any one give detailed instruction?
maybe u should try a based rom (JVQ or JVR) and a kernel (like galaxian EE or semaphore ) + JVR modem
Use odexed JVR on latest galaxian kernel, there are good odex themes (I use EE SP1 clocked to 1.1ghz via tegrak. This is a minor OC but voltage at 1.1 is lower than standard 1.0 ghz!) remove all the crap bloatware (I remove loads of stuff and all samsung apps using sgs chlorine) use zeam launcher (fast, lightweight). Use setcpu for screen off profiles and also juice defender.finally, convert to ext4 then back again to rfs to clean file systems. Then calibrate battery, use noop scheduler. This will give you a very fast phone with great battery life

thanks a lot dude let me try will hope this works fine
gsw5700 thanks for the sugession ... but i am confused wen i check for this kernel .... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196391
it says flash it if u have ODEXED JVR ROMS only!!! but my rom is JVP
please let me know how to go further and also let me know is the camera application is stock galaxy or hacked camera
thanks in advance
Flash odexed JVR, then you can flash this theme (that I use). Then flash chainfire 4.1 kernel to get root, then flash latest galaxian kernel. Use setcpu and juice defender to get good battery savings
Don't forget to hard reset/wipe after flashing jvr, tick to re partition, wipe both caches and fix permissions after flashing galaxian

thanks dude i have followed the procedure... let me check the performence
it gave me 16 hours of battery life .. and performance was stable

Why not just stay on ext4?
RFS will defragment after a while (depending in usage), I like to defrag file systems every month or so. I haven't actually tested it, but hope it will provide additional benefit. I also like to use it for a while whilst on ext4 to prove that ext4 doesn't feel any faster at all than rfs!!

I also suggest Galaxian. It's pretty neat.
So how long battery life do u guys get on undervolted galaxian?
Im on JVR w/ talon kernel OC'd to 1.2 and UV'd and i barely get 2 days of little use.

Because some kernels don't need any lagfix actived
It's not about fixing lag, that is just terribly outdated but traditional terminology.
RFS isn't slower than ext4, but the letter is still the better filesystem by it's journaling and fragmentation behavior.
In a nutshell: you don't have to convert to ext4 to have a smoother device, but you might still want to do so if you want a better file system running your device.

I get about one day of medium to heavy use and a day and a half if I don't do much. I lose about 2-3% battery over night (using juice defender)

my signature tells the setup. undervolting for the lower frequencies helps. Also check out Zach/picachu's screen state scaling and system scripts. Combine with the latest talon kernel and you are set. Tegrak aop is optional for overclock above 1200

[Q] New perseus kernel update. Worth overclocking ?

I just updated my S4 i9500 kernel to the latest 'Perseus-alpha 1'. I got the STweaks app i got on my old S3.
My question is , with this new kernel update , we can overclock the big cores from 1.6 up the way to 2.0.
It already heats pretty much with 1.6 clock speed. Is it worth overclocking to say 1.8 or 1.9 ?
If yes , what are the recommended voltages ?

It has OC / UC feature it depends whether u want it or not
Some use for high score some for fun exploring more option on a device
I personally would say use it till 1.6 or little lower which keeps ur device more safe battery friendly out of danger which Overclocking myte cause pursues kernal are best as it's without any modification by us
