[Q] Good OC settings - Droid 2 General

So I downloaded the DX/D2 Overclock app from the market, but I don't really know what to set it to. I'm a heavy texted that uses a bit of 3G. Not a lot of gaming, the most I do is Angry Birds or a GameBoy emulator.
Based on that information, what would be some good overclock values for me to set?

personally, i would set it at a medium voltage with the scaling govenor on performance and the scaling bars set to max 1000 and min whatever you like....i keep it at 1000/1000 but battery is costly

If you want to overclock I use the 1.25 low voltage.

After seeing this thread I got the app and I'm at 1.15 ulta low voltage. Voltage is similar to stock.
Stock. Overclock
Slot 1 - 400Mhz 33v 400Mhz 36v
Slot 2 - 600Mhz 48v 700Mhz 51v
Slot 3 - 800Mhz 58v 900Mhz 56v
Slot 4 - 1000Mhz 62v 1150Mhz 62v
Not a massive increase in speed but still noticeable. Hopefully keeping the voltage close will help prevent overheating. Probably stay at 1.15 for a few days to see how everything goes. If it's stable and doesn't overheat and depending on how it affects battery life I might crank it up and see how it goes.

I run 1.35ghz low voltage. Rock solid and no heat issues.
As long as you don't set it to boot with untested settings you should be fine experimenting. I tweak settings and run quadrant to check for performance. Trial and error.

1.2 should be no problem although all phones are different. start with the low voltage at 1.1 make sure the phone is stable. a quick test is to open the browser and load a few pages. a GOOD test is to run quadrant. then just increase the speed until it locks up. pull the battery and set it down 1 or 2 speeds and thats your max stable overclock at that voltage. most people are able to run 1.2 or 1.3 with no issues. i can run at 1.3 with no issues. any higher and after a few days (or less respectively) my phone hangs. Also increasing voltage will yield higher clocks but will drain the battery faster. just play around if the phone locks up just pull the battery. also i would not play with the manual settings until you are familiar with the basic ones first.
I am most stable at 1.25ghz LV. Currently running GummyJAR2.5 with Blueberry Theme.
No issues. I would recomend installing AutoKiller. This is not same as Task Killer. It frees up memory. Same function as the one that comes with Jrummy Overclock but you can customize it more.
auto killer waste battery we have plenty of memory on our phones
so what do you recommend for a jrummy oc? i was thinkin 1.2 on lv
I can only get up to Low volt 1.15 otherwise. Once I click on anything higher i get a MAJOR hanging as soon as its done overclocking. pissed but guess thats just the point that all phones are different.

I wasn't a believer until I installed it. My ram use to run low and some times made my DX run slow. Since installing the autokiller, my DX runs smoother, zippier and consistant. I have mine pre-set at extream. As for the battery, I don't notice any difference and I am semi heavy user. I been running Autokiller for a while.
Hey guys, I recommend using QuickClock Advanced for some real battery savings. It calculates the lowest stable vsel your cpu can handle and then you can overclock from there.
my settings
300mhz 15vsel
600mhz 30vsel
900mhz 45vsel
1200mhz 61vsel
I could never get over 1.1 using jrummy untill I changed the gov, use anything but "on demand" and I can get 1.4 all day. The stock settings work well using the "performance" gov but battery life can suffer if you get crazy. Performance keeps it running at top speed all the time. Hope this helps.

Ive used similar settings and worked fine on my phone running Rubix.

[Q] [Opinions] Undervolt Settings.

First off, I would like to apologize in advance in case a thread like this exist and I can't find it.. :/ (Search is down, tried Googling) also, if anyone believes this to be in the wrong forum.
ANYWAYS! This is intended to be a preference/opinions thread centering around your OC/UC and Undervolt settings. Feel free to post your current set-up in Voltage Control (or any app of the like) and what Kernel you are running! I wanted to start this to get an idea of what everyone else is setting their UV and CPU clocks to, and possibly give a few of them a try on my own device. :]
Personally all of my clock speeds are at their defaults except for 1000Mhz @ 1200mV. (-75mV). I am also rocking Genocide v1.0 and getting a decent 30hrs of battery life with pretty moderate use.
Post away!
It is kind of pointless since every phone is different so cannot do exactly the same as others. Most can't do 1.4Ghz and most don't wake from sleep at 100 Mhz. All depends what you use your phone for. Mine runs fine at 1.3Ghz except for some TV apps will freeze.

I believe that would be my point however.. curious as to what other people are running as far as cpu and voltage is concerned. Their success and failures. What people can get away with and remain stable. I, and others, could then try their setup (taking precautions of course; ie Nandroid backup.) And see what we get. Who knows, maybe I might adapt a set up that runs better on my device than my current one.

Yes, every phone is different, but that is just more of a reason to collect data - perhaps a baseline can be established, which would be helpful in determining if a particular phone is messed up or just at the low end of the scale. Right now it is hard to determine if a particular phone's troubles are caused by low quality or by damaged hardware.
I keep all voltages at stock, and don't use any OC - my phone runs fine as is, and the battery life actually seemed worse with UV (and my screen felt hot with the screen UV).

My phone wakes from 100 but won't do 1.4ghz for even a couple seconds before reboot but 1.3ghz lasts about 20 minutes before reboot and 1.2ghz is stable. As for undervolts it can handle -25 on 1.2ghz and -50 on 1 and 1.1ghz -50 on 800mhz and that's it otherwise becomes unstable and reboots. Battery life and performance seem to meet at 800mhz with a -50 undervolt games run smooth too and 12 hours of battery. Oddly enough benchmarks are consistantly higher on 1.12ghz than on 1.2ghz I wonder if I'm the only one?

Just to throw it out there. Aggressive undervolts will do more harm than good to your battery life. By that, I mean you'll drain your battery even more.

I can only use Genocide kernel to get 1.3ghz at stock voltage with since all the other choices are uv'd. My last two Epics were able to handle uv'd 1.4ghz by 50mV but I'm not really complaining as I think this is a new phone they gave me and not a refurb. I currently have 100-400 uv'd by 100mV, 600-1000 uv'd by 75mV and 1300 at stock.
My phone can handle 1.4 Ghz but only with the stock voltages. If I try to touch it even by 25mV it locks up.
Who all has enabled the 100Mhz step? I noticed when I did my phone went into Deep Sleep a lot less by a noticeable amount. Staying at 100Mhz a lot.
Always interesting to hear about all this theory behind the reasons for undervolting OC and UC, then to hear about the issues (at times extreme) some have. I would also like to know who uses the 100 step and if it is noticeably better on battery life than the 200? Unfortunately I am missing out on it if I am. Still running Genocide here, but with 1.0 at -50mv 800 @ -50 and 600 @ -25. Very stable and still at 30+ battery life. Having 1.0 down 75 made me nervous. although I hear people dropping it down -100mv successfully.

Good tip about "aggressive UnderVolting"...didn't know that actually drains your battery more. Might explain why 6 hours into my day, my battery is down to 30% already!!! I had it set at 1120Mhz UV to 1175mV (Stock = 1300)...
So now I'm going to try 1200Mhz only UV by 50...see what my battery life is after this!

Can you explain how this is so? Is this based on any actual research, experimentation, or online documentation, or is this just your own opinion?
Unless your undervolt causes the CPU to hang (I've seen mine start to warm up when it's hung, until a battery pull), I don't understand how providing less voltage to the cpu will cause it to drain the battery faster.
If you change the voltage settings please don't blame the rom developers when you phone bricks...

Preferred Overclocking Utility

I'm running Bionix V 1.3.2 with the Immortality 2.1 kernel.
What I'm curious about is everyone's preferred overclocking app?
From what it looks like, it comes down to SetCPU, No-frills, Tegrak, or CPU tuner.
No frills advertises doing the overclocking without running in the background- which is appealing.
What are your thoughts?
Im not familiar with anything other then set cpu. I like it because I set up profiles for charging, screen off and temp. Ive used it for a while even when not overclocking, just for the screen off profile.
go with set CPU that's great the profiles really help save battery
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
You can use Voltage Control to OC too...
Sent from my XDA app cuz I'm stalking your mom....
So it looks like there are a couple of categories the overclocking apps can be divided in to- those with profile management and without, and those for the SGS only.
Profile Management: SetCPU ($1.95), Tegrak ($1.95), CPU Tuner (Free)
Without: No Frills (Free), Voltage Control (Free/$3.84)
Both Tegrak and Voltage Control are specific to the SGS family- why would I want to buy a program that only works with specific phones when I can get a solution that will work with all my future phones?
I know SetCPU is the most commonly used solution, but I keep reading so many complaints in the forums. Does anyone have any experience with CPU tuner in comparison to the others? I'll at least tinker with it when I have time since I'll have more than 15 minutes to see if I like it.
Set cpu is horrible, atleast from my experience.
Constant screen of death, meaning after I lock phone,it won't turn on until reboot.
Instability. Lagged my phone even with oc only up to 1.2
Voltage control is what I prefer.

Sounds like your kernel is not compatible with setcpu =]
Some are not and votage control is preferred.
I'm on MIUI revamped Xx-2 with glitch 11 anf haven't had a problem with setcpu.

Well I'm using voltage control right now because its tailored to the hummingbird and I like the undervolt settings. Once you find the right voltages, your battery will be (more) amazing.
However, I've used setcpu since I've had my htc hero and it works wonders...at first when the galaxy s came out, there were conflicts and setcpu couldn't tune the hummingbird(atleast for the Epic 4g, the Galaxy S for Sprint), but that's since been worked on.
Setcpu is very straightforward. When you start it up, just tap autodetect speeds and it'll have a slider for min/max and yyou just slide it to the appropriate speeds. Then you use "governors" that dictate how the processor clocks...for example, on "conservative" the cpu scales up to the speed it needs to process what you're doing and slows down really fast when not in use. "Ondemand" is basically the same thing, but it scales high up and then lowers itself to the needed speed. "Performance" keeps your cpu clocked at its highest speed and keeps it there. Its good to run performance when you need to run benchmarks or do a lot of stuff on your phone at once, because it kills the battery faster (obviously)
Just try em out...setcpu is free on xda, just look for it in the apps section on android general I think or the g1 boards
Voltage control, be wary about, because if you mess with the ettings and don't know what you're doing, it'll corrupt your phone.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I like voltage control too and pimp my CPU mainly because SetCpu hardly ever supports the kernels I use and when it does it gives me reboots
Thank you, I'll give Voltage Control a try. Do you have any 'safe' recommended voltage settings when using smartass, and then I'll see the limits of my phone from there?
No sorry idk about the vibrant, but it sould be able to handle the uv since we're both hummingbird
When you use VC, do it one clock speed at a time. The voltage slider moves in -25mV increments. Each processor is different. For example, my phone can handle 1.4ghz unervolted by -50mV but if I put it down one more notch, my phone freezes and its FC galore. So its good to have a backup.
If you're not turned away by the amount of time it takes to tune VC, then it'll be worth it. You just have to thoroughly test the phone each time you undervolt to make sure its stable before you set it as Boot. To test just scroll around and run acouple of benchmarks.
For example, when I started my UV, I started with 1.4ghz and worked my way down to 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, 1.0, .8 and .6 ghz. Slide it to 1400MHz and then slide the voltage bar one notch to the left to uv it by 25mV. Hit apply and then run smartbench, quadrant, neocore, linpack, w/e just to make sure your phone can handle it. If it can, move it one more notch and test it out. Rinse repeat for the rest
Setcpu is way more user friendly and does what its supposed to, but vc is for power users I guess

If I do recall you could also change the voltages in setcpu. Ya know if your kernel supports it.

Galaxy S3 overclocking

Hello guys. I just want to take information that there are many tweaks to overclock galaxy s3 to max 1.8 ghz. If we set to maximum overclocking then is there any risk for damage hardware? Because 2 months before i had nokia n8 & i set this device to overclock & it damaged all board,now its totally destroyed. According to my point of view,sometime i think that nokia n8 has only 680 ghz & due to overclock it run on higher clock speed & so that due to low processor it could not manage or handle the higher clock speed & it ran on heavy clock speed continuesly then overload of processor it got damaged. It is my fear for s3. And i think for s3 that it has higher processor with 1.4 ghz,if i set it to 1.8 ghz then there is no risk bcoz of there are cpu governor. With this,the s3 does not run continues on 1.8 ghz higher speed, governor takes control over the cpu to run on higher clock speed according to their high usage like 200 ghz, 500ghz, 800 ghz, 1.4ghz & so on. So i think i can overclock my galaxy s3 with kernel but I'm still confused & I'm not expert. So plz suggest me to do overclock without any damage fear. Thanx a lot.

If i don't but you know then u can tell me about any risk.
NOTHING is without risk, but a good place to start is just to install the latest Siyah S3 Kernel and run it it at 1.6ghz for the CPU and default settings for the GPU. I tried running my CPU at 1.7 and 1.8 and the it wasn't 100% stable and the temps were to high for my liking. Be moderate in your settings and you shouln't encounter any issues.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/ latest version is 1.7rc1
That will give you a good performance bump with the minimum of risk (in my opinion).
Other than that installing a bloatware free ROM will also give a nice bump. I personally run Omega V29 with the above 1.6 overclock settings and it lightning fast. :good:
There is always a risk involved in overclocking.
1.8ghz isn't stable for most people but 1.7 is quite stable.
How well your device handles overclocking depends on the quality of the chip you got.
This is down to the manufacturing process, you may get a good chip from the middle of the wafer or a not so good one from nearer the edge.
if you want to reduce heat them you should undervolt the CPU, less current means less heat.
Obviously it isn't good for the hardware in the long run but that's what you gotta take into account when you overclock, I've overclocked every phone I've ever had and haven't had any problems but YMMV.

could u plz tell me that what is the process of undervolt if i undervolt the cpu then it is related to only heat or performence also?
If you use siyah kernel then in the stweaks app that comes with it you can choose how much you want to undervolt.
I suggest starting with -25mv or -50mv and check stability.
I use -100mv without problems but like in said earlier YMMV.
It doesn't give a performance boost per se, but less heat in the chip will mean that it doesn't hit the temperature throttle threshold as easily and that means more performance.
The CPU will begin to throttle (limit clock speed) at around 75c until the temp drops and the CPU is allowed to run at max clock speed again.
Usually you will only hit the temp throttle threshold under very heavy loads, for example repeated benchmarks.

1.7ghz should be alright for a 32nm chip like the exynos 4412 on our s3. HTC has had their One S (with a 45 nm chip) clocked at 1.7 ghz. The lower the nanoneter, the more ambitious you can be with clock speeds. Try 1.6 or 1.7 ghz with default voltage settings and see how that goes

You are using -100 undervolt, that mean its high current & mean if i select 25 to 50 then its less current than 100??? & is there any battery improvement if i select less current mean less heat.?
I am using -100mv, as in minus 100mv, 100mv less than stock.
Less current is less heat and *maybe* battery savings.
-100mv is less current than -50mv.

Antutu and Quadrant, all are just bull****. Just to see their manipulated scores, overclocking does not make any sense.
At ground level, applications do not run anything faster as overclocking alone does not work here. Even if you get milli milli milli second improvement which is just nothing against damage of CPU.
Got it?? now start using your phone as it should be and made for.
Before overclocking you should ask yourself Why you want to overclock. If it's because the phone have some lags there is other(safer) way to solve this problem. Honestly I overclock mine for a while (just because I'm a tester) but the S3 is fast enough for everything. You should see my S3. The app drawer appears (almost) instantaneously. Any games play smoothly etc...
On this phone overclocking is possible but useless. If you want to learn how to overclock just to learn how, search in the stickies for the overclocking guide.
I have tried overclocking and undervolting for the last week now and I can say that overclocking has not made any visible difference to my S3. Overclocking seems to be a nice option to have, but the S3 does not need it. Undervolting on the other hand reduces lag considerably when playing games for long periods. Usually my S3 started to get laggy after about 1 hour of Asphalt, but now it does not get laggy at all. I have undervolted by (-)125.
Hope that helps.

Firstly you need a kernel supporting overclocking... Secondly its fine if u wanna play around with your device... Lastly I would suggest u to overclock it to 1704 MHz max (avoiding any boot loops )....
I would recommend Siyah 1.9.1 (as your Kernel) and "Noop" as your I/O Scheduler... In case ure using Siyah as your Kernel, try using "Lulzactiveq" as your governer...
Furthermore u can tweak the governer if u want more juice out of it....
Try it.....

Currently looking into the process of OC'ing and UV'ing. It would be cool to see what results you guys have got and what difference in battery life you perceive!
Im currently at stock ?

I have the same PVS CPU than you with 0,9 Volt at 384Mhz and 1,05 Volt at 1,5GHz.
I could undervolt 50mV accross the board; undervolt the lowest frequenz (384Mhz) to 0,73 Volt and overclock the CPU to 2,0Ghz max.
Im running Cyanogenmod with Glitch Kernel and use Trickster Mod for OC and CPU UV.
With Glitch Kernel I can even undervolt the GPU 100mv accross the board with an increased max GPU of 450Mhz.
(More is possible, but I nearly dont play games with my tablet)
With this I get about 8 hours of SOD time with Surfing.
When I'm on a long business trip and use my N7 for (Kindle and pdf) offline book reading I reach something like 13-15hours SOD time.

I know a bit how i can get to know my cpu's pvs stepping, but since you have the same as me, what is it exactly? And is it considered a fast, normal or slow binned cpu?

mine are way lower and im pretty stable, no crashes but i dont' play games
im on ElementalX oc to 1.728ghz
at 38400 >>> im at 77500
at 702000..... 85000
at 102600.......90000
at172800 .... 102500
Whats the best way to test stability? Ive got this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.into.stability but i dont seem to get any wiser... Anyone know what i should do?

yup, run that for like 30mins on classic test, should be fine if it doesn't crash

I did that, but with voltages that are stable there, antutu crashes. And with voltages that are antutu stable, my device crashes randomly. I can run the scaling test with very low voltages across the board for more than an hour and it doesnt crash.
With other apps it just crashes.
This is an experimental undervolt that rarely crashes when switching apps:
I dont know which clock speed and its corresponsing voltage is unstable because the clock speed ranges from 384 to 1512 mhz and i dont have a crash log.
So I added 12.5 mV across the board, and this hasnt crashed so far!
But, being the perfectionist that I am, I want the Ultimate Undervolt. Is there a way to see what frequency you are running when it crashes?

I achieve stable 700mV at 1026MHz...
30mins stress run on "stability test" app and on stress run on "setCpu"
At 1134MHz the tablet freezes for the first time when I switch to 7875mV
Isn't it weird??
I dont think the stability test app is working. I could undervolt 1512 mhz to 900mV and have it run stable, but everyday use stable is with 987.5mV

Will you post your voltage table?
What are the Kernel setup settings that you choose and have you ever OCed to 2.2 and still get good undervolting?
