Overclock - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

What is the max overclock in this phone?? tnx!

Differs on every phone, most go to 940 or 902 stable, if you go higher you will get crash and reboots, but it is possible your gio is not stable above 883 , just try it out, it wont get it bricked

844
844 is the highest stable you can get, but you can go up to 921 mhz but you can get screen freeze and you will have to remove your battery and restart.

I've had problems with over 806, but recently I put it up to 825 and it's stable so far. I really don't understand how some can go over 900, the phone will become unusable. It also seems to be more stable with minimum freq being set to 122 not 245. Currently I have 122-825 with smartassv2 scaling and it's working fine.
One more thing. I have more luck oc'ing with cyanogenmod built-in CPU governor, setCPU with different profiles seemed to crash my call answering dialog too easily. So if you use smartassv2, there isn't much point to use setcpu for screen-off profile.

overclock
in my opinion best clock for daily usage is 806MHz

This.
Others are just stating their own experience.

True, everyone has other mhz that is stable, you just need a bit luck

Just a quick question:
I know how to adjust my Min and Max frequency, but which governor should I use?
My ROM is GalaxyICS-KANG-beta3, and the default governor is ONDEMAND. Max CPU frequency is set to 902 MHz and Min is 122 MHz, the default.
Which of these settings, if any, would you recommend I change? I'm a little intimidated by the sheer amount of governors available to me...

I'm not entirely sure how all of them work, but ondemand is the most neutral choice, that's why it is the default governor on most roms.. it chooses CPU workload according to need (on demand).
Smartass is similar, except it keeps CPU usage to minimum when screen is off (it has a built in screen-off profile). SmartassV2 is an upgraded version of smartass. It's based on Interactive governor, but there are differences on how cpu usage scales up and down.
Minmax uses only minimum and maximum values. When your phone is idle, it uses minimum.. when it's not idle, it's always at max value.
Performance keeps CPU at max all the time. Powersave does the opposite - keeps at minimum. Conservative avoids using high values when possible.
So if you don't need anything special, then ondemand or smartassv2 are the best choices with compromise between performance and battery life imo.

my gio is 940MHz

it seems that my gio is stable at 940Mhz, it got one day 1Ghz but over a day he crashd and i could not set it back to ghz... xD

[Q] Original ROM's CPU freq scaling range

Hi, just wanted to know what is original HTC's ROM CPU scaling range and what is its CPU governor. My guess is 245-528, ondemand - is that correct?
Sorry, I don't know myself, but I'd like to know this too! I've just installed JokerDroid on mine, and I want to set it to stock frequencies so I can improve the battery life.
I'm using 352-691 ondemand, but I think 748 is ok too.
I think the min is 352MHz. But again, I am not so sure. (I arrived at this value when I was on the Stock ROM and used Android System Info which shows the various CPU frequencies and the time periods they operate on that frequency)

Isn't the max. for this device "528"

Custom ROM's (Or, more appropriately - Custom Kernels) allow you to set a CPU Speed upto 768MHz.
BUT - The performance increase is not as great as the speed increase shows. So, if you do overclock, don't keep huge expectations.

I am running on 710 max, some people run on 768 max. But apparantly it is phone related because some people can perfectly run on 768 whilst I read a few days ago from a person here whose wildfire started force closing things around 710 or one higher or so.
Try a bit yourself which works for you. There are benchmarks that you can let run to see how often an error will occur approximately I have no link myself but I know a bud of mine did that to try how high he could go
At 691, some apps force closed, so I'm back to 595. It was stable for me.
gues that the 352MHz is the stock minimum then. There should be a noticable battery life increase when 122MHz is my current IDLE clock huh?
Now Iam running 122-710MHz on stock HTC ROM, very stable. If I set the frequency above 710MHz the scaling become unstable uner LOAD sometimes and dropping to 480MHz.
Using jacob kernel v4.

[Q]Overclocking

Ok so i have cm7.2 rc1 instaled with the new kernel. I've changed many different roms in the past to find out i cant overclock over 768 w/o the phone crashing. Anyway yesterday i searched the forum and found out i can overclock to more if i change the governor to userspace. It did work however i ran antutu benchmark and i saw the folowing.
At 864 governor userspace i get 1328 points.
At 844 governor userspace i get 1479 points.
At 825 governor userspace i get 1486 points
At 806 governor userspace i get 1675 points.
At 768 governor performance i get 1644 points.
So my question is could it be that antutu is wrong or is it some something buggy with the kernel or my device.
Edit. And also something that i noticed at 864 the cpu is what lowers the score drasticly and on 844 and 825 its the 2d graphics. I could post SS later cuz i dont have time now if neceserry.

reason is because of governor
Keep it at 806 and use whatever governor you'd like to (smartass2 if you want better battery life and high performance only when running apps). Don't set it any higher, as it could melt your phone and it'll definitely drain your battery a lot faster than it should.
Mine runs at 120 - 787 MHz and "ondemand" governor. If I set the upper limit to 806, the phone would crash when under load (e. g. benchmarking). The settings appear to save a bit of power compared to the "default" values, which is probable due to the so-called "race to idle"-effect. Basically "race to idle" means that higher clock frequencies will save power, since the processor gets the work done faster and can enter low-power states earlier than when running on lower clock frequencies, so if you can clock it even higher you should get even better battery life in the long run, even though this might seem counter-intuitive. Only disadvantage with these settings is that the phone lags a bit directly after booting and screen unlocking, but otherwise is really smooth.
My freequency is 245-864 and i have very stable work. But i have extended battarey (2200mah)

Best Overclock settings specifically for the Play?

I'm using NoFrills CPU and want to find the right balance between overclocking, performance and battery...
What speeds and governors are everybody using for their Plays?
I'm using 1.2 Ghz max 130 Mhz min with SmartassV2 and sio. All seems okay to me.
I'm using 921mhz-122mhz intellidemand2 with sio governor and everything is smooth + battery is great

1401Mhz Max, 180Mhz Min (when Screen On), 785Mhz Max-180Mhz Min (When Screen Off)
Noop + InteractiveX

1401Mhz Max, 180Mhz Min (when Screen On), 785Mhz Max-180Mhz Min (When Screen Off)
Noop + InteractiveX
So many different settings!
Was hoping there'd be a 'common' setting that everyone kind of determined was best.
Thank though.
Still interesting, and would like to see what more people are using still.
Mines currently 1.613 Ghz Max, 245 Mhz Min. Virtuous Governor, Noop I/O Scheduler.
On intensive apps I change the max clock to 1.901Ghz however this I don't recommend for most people.
I also only use 1.9Ghz when using Android 2.3.7 with DoomKernel, as only that Kernel seems to allow for voltage changes... Which i apply when using that kind of speed, whereas the default voltages are much higher for that clock than I usually set.
Everyone's Play is different, and not all Plays can sustain high clocks at specific voltages. You need to find your own 'sweet spot'.

Is there an app for that?
No.
You need to increase your clock little by little until you're happy. Then, if you're on GB using DoomKernel you need to lower the voltage as much as you can without it crashing if you want it perfect.
Most people simply oc though and don't bother with the voltages, but it will reduce power consumption and extend the life of your phone with the OC enabled.. As normally running your CPU past its specification will wear it out faster.

As DiKeJ said in his ROM thread:
In my opinion, interactiveX, and frequency of CPU 364.8-1305.6MHz gives awesome stability and performance

:good:
TRUE FACT.
you should use a kernel that allows you to undervolt... there was some article with the galaxy S3, where they tested different settings with OC+UV and YES, Under Volting gives better battery life!!
A lot of people here say, that UV will have no effect on battery, but they have no idea how a processor works... so they just should stfu!!

[Q] Battery drain on high cpu frequency (no OC)

Halo!
I am using the rom M'rage V2.1 and I have a really big battery drain
When the phone goes to high CPU frequency.
My setting in no frills CPU control:
MAX: 800 Mhz
MIN: 122 Mhz
Governor:smartassV2
I\O scheduler: noop
One week ago I bought A new original samsung battery so I don't think
This is a problem of the battery itself.
please help
Hi,
I'm using the same ROM an my settings are:
MAX: 672 Mhz
MIN: 122 Mhz
Governor:smartassV2
I\O scheduler: noop
I'm using it the whole day for browsing and videos on YT and my battery lasts for the whole day.
Maybe the downclocking helps you.
Do you have a lot of apps running?

Yes I think so..
I tried to change the rom to GIOPRO
I hope its will help but I will try your suggestion
Do you have "lags" with this OC?
Hi,
I don't have more "Lags" than before
In my opinion the small ram is the problem for those "Lags".
Maybe you could also try this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654317
It's often recommended and you can install it with the Adrenaline Engine.

bcm21533 governor vs other governors

I have been searching for some time and i am yet to find any details on bcm21533 governoe for galaxy y.
In my experience it gives performance nearly as much as smartassv2 and gives battery life same or better than ondemand. i find it faster than interactive.
Yet i have never heard of anyone use this governor. anyone know why? isnt it far better than smartassv2 on our phone?
Have tried this governor ornhells fusion and percy kernel.
Indeed it works as this :
Only switching between max and min processor values (832 and 156 for example) depending on needed work, but maybe you are using some heavy app and speed = min it will be laggy , and light app on max freq will be battery drain, so interactive is better for me
I use kuro kernel with
Gov Ondeman
i/o noop
stable for me
I always used conservative and sio, never complained about this
