(Q)Over-Clocking and Under-Volting

havent tried Ocing in my arc,im curious is it really a big difference
from 1ghz Ocing to 1.4 or higher?and the only way to O/C is to unlocked bootloader and use different kernel?is there a stable and safe frequency?tested in a daily usage..

Well, I'm currently running at 806Mhz, I was previously at 1.2Ghz and to be honest, I don't see any difference.

You may try to flash the DoomKernel on your device. It will give you rootaccess, the possibility to over and underclock. But first you need to unlock your bootloader.
I overclocked my Arc to 1,9ghz Max running for days without any problems. I dont recommend much higher or it will run stuck and you may damage your device.
Only overclock your device when you have a good feeling about it

so does that mean i can't over clock to let's say 1.4 GHz and let it be like that for daily use ? either with DoomLord ROM or CM7 ROM..

You can overclock, but ARE YOU REALLY need 1,8Ghz??? All day.
Stock you had 1Ghz and its already fast.
When you doing some grazy OC lets say 1.9ghz your device may be unstable after that.
Most people using 1,2 or 1,4ghz because its stable and not draining battery a lot.
I use 800-900mhz and very happy.
Whay we always talking overclocking, but not "downclocking"
Edit: doomlord kernel max is 2.0Ghz but dont forget about stock is 1ghz....so 2 times faster BUT not all devices are stable with this insane speed.
CM7 and FXP kernel max 1,6Ghz and its rock solid stable all day and night.

From what I've experienced,
If u set the OC in min 1GHz and max 1.8GHz like what I've done, you will notice that ur phone is going smoother.
Well, this is my opinion..

Minimum 1Ghz....wtf? its draining your battery with light speeds.
I think 245Mhz is good

how much Ghz have you been using?
you using it daily?is it really a big difference?

I overclocked mine to 1.4GHz and use it as daily setup, works smoother and faster.

because he is a benchmark freak, and wants to see how its device is performing for one time, nothing wrong with that, if its his choice, let it.

Have a look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647993
Theres only a 1 in 3 chance it will work (different variations of the tegra 3) even then its not recommended.

The One X reaches it's thermal limits quite easily, this is why it is not a good idea.
Essentially the Tegra 3 is already at its limits in the One X.

Cpu limit is 90c so we have room there, the battery limit for charging is 48 but the battery should be rated for upto 60c.

Overclocking Wildfire

Hi does anybody know of a kernal that will enable me to overclock my wildfire to about 800mhz, my wildfire runs smooth at 768 no problem. But i have seen people with wildfires overclocked more than 800mhz. Depending on what rom it may work on i would be more than happy to move to another one. I was using CM9 unofficial but got bored after a while tbh ever since it came out i had it so.... anyways it would be of great help if you could leave a link for download for the kernal(s)

I don't think they're are any atm, and the amount of people that can oc to 800mhz without a problem I think you can count on one hand.
I was like you able to run at 768 on both my wildfires but when I pushed it to 800mhz it was too much. 788mhz was fine but 800mhz and it just froze then rebooted. Also the battery drain was worse at 788 and they're really is no noticeable difference in speed.

overclocking up to 800mhz could be possible for wildfire but i advice you not to do that it's very dangerouse for your CPU and Battery and GPU

Just a little correction: I might be wrong but our Willy has no GPU at all Everything else would be my suggestion, too, but I think OC in general should put up a warning sign - everytime - at least the lifetime of your CPU will be cut even if you try to do it responsible lol

A few questions about overclocking
First, is this even working? I'm using the latest PA ROM.
What are the best possible settings that don't damage the phone?

Yes overclocking is definitely working. U can notice a sharp difference between lower and higher values...don't overclock above 1.7 GHz it may damage ur phone...

You guys.... stop scarying the people already. Overclocking your device will not break it in any case, most likely will shorten YOUR BATTERY LIFE! But that's it! You will not fry your phone, motherboard, display or whatever. I can ramp my phone upto 2ghz and it has nothing... But 1024 mhz or 1200 is enough!

I had OCed hellboy to 2 GHz...it felt stable but the phone crashed every time i opened an app...anyways 1.2 is best works so smoothly...best for everyday use...

Difference is there. Just to be sure that your phone works at that range (and its not a rom/kernel problem) - install Perfmon from the market and open the CPU section - It will then show you in real time at what range your CPU works. And if 2.0 gh becomes laggy it is because your cpu can go that high. Some cpu's can and others can't. That's just how they work. My old HTC Hero could go upto 691 from 526 default but other HTC Heroes could go upto 740....

Yo Son, Just OC'ed my V to 1.8GHz, it flys. Kill those animation.
When I oc'ed to 2.0GHz stability test Crashed dawg. Stability test it son!
BTW: When I drop to 1.9Ghz throttling issues Nig. So bench your one V too.
now I'm at 1.8GHz it's stable and no heat issues at all.

May I ask why? Not about AnTuTu.. but Quadrant Standard is great!! Even helps in choosing a better ROM.. a little..:cyclops:

The only use I have for benchmarking apps is to compare changes in roms and kernels on your own phone. If you use the same app to benchmark, you can see the different performance gains and losses in various rom and kernel combinations. i really don't think they do any good comparing performance between different phones, but for checking on your own mods they do come in handy.

Use benchmark to determine throttling

Here are some tips I know which increases the benchmark rating..
Use PERFORMANCE as the Governer after overclocking.. And disable 'Force use of GPU for 2D Drawing' in developer options.

Differences between custom kernel

Hi, i'm new to galaxy w world, and i'm reading about custom kernel (castagnaI, forfivos and hadi), but i'm not sure on what is better for my phone...
is there any comparison chart, or similiar, that can help users choosing? I mean, there are so many variables to take in consideration, like RAM, voltage and battery life, hd video recording and so on..and it's difficult for a newbie to get to the point, if you know what i mean

I think castagnaI has a great one, but his latest release gave us more ram by losing 720p recording. Hadi's kernel is also great, but the version that he posted with more ram anda working camera got a few reports that day it is not so stable(I use it and it is GREAT). Forvivo has the best JB kernel and a good ICS kernel.
Sent from my GT-I8150

So, to have a good mem and a working camera (720p i mean), you suggest hadi's kernel? What about forvivo for ICS? I'm running latest CM9

Forfivo ICS is stopped I guess. But if you want to, experiment around with his v3 and v1.
You may wanna keep a copy of v1 in your memory card because so far I used its the most stable kernel for everyday usage, but certainly not gaming needs.
To my opinion I don't think I'll capture any precious moments using my phone. SD quality is far more than enough for me to store in my phone if needed, so a little sacrifice is okay. But maxmem is just abit off, unless you don't mind using a few mins to swap flash everytime between your game time and afterso.

i confirm this issue too. after using my kernel for a day the packet data is sometime "lost". maybe this is due to SFB (i think), because after building a test kernel with reverted network scheduler the packet data problem is definitely fixed.
castagna's is great one, i used it about a month and it fits my needs of battery life. but beware that in some hardware extreme UV maybe unstable
forfivo's ics kernel gives nice stability. somepeople prefer v1 over v2 or v3. for the JB kernel you are given choice of bigmem ram and stock stock ram. bigmem sacrifice HD playback and recording for bigger RAM(better multitasking)
overall i still love my own kernel(i don't mean to promote my own kernel and discredit other kernel). i set my own clock freq to 1GHz and phone still runs very smooth which means more battery life for me and cpu governor perfectly fits the daily needs

Thanks for your complete answers!
My need is for a smooth and fast phone, with much of is hardware features available, a minimum daily battery life, and some good multitasking. I'm not so interested in gaming.... With this conditions, what I should test?

you can test castagna or forfivo's first. i am quite aware that my kernel will not be good for internet (at least for the latest release with sfb activated, need time to test everything for next release )

If you don't game, a good suggestion is to use hadi's or castagnal's bigmem, with no HD recording.
Then underclock max frequency to around 1ghz. Your battery life will be obviously prolonged

btw, connection problem in my kernel has been fixed i guess
having clock 1GHz is enough for me, that quite prolong my battery life

I'm not a gamer, but I like hd recording. I'd like to use all the stuff of this phone. Maybe I could wait until hadi's fixed kernel is out. In the meantime, I could underclock to 1ghz to save battery life.
How can I see the amount of ram that kernel made available, from the phone?

hmm you can try the one "my own config" or "hadiconfig" it has 376-377 available RAM with hd recording working. i've been using this config for about 4days but still nothing goes wrong to my phone

Go to Settings, About Phone(most likely the last option)
There will be a section about how many ram you have.

I've 352MB of ram available. 20/40mb would improve performance and multitasking significantly?
What governor is better with 1Ghz?
Inviato dal mio GT-I8150 con Tapatalk 2

for me it's quite good for multitasking
i tweaked lulzactive and smartassv2. i'm quite sure lulzactive has a good prospect as one of the smoothest and most battery saving governor. if you are unsure you can use smartassv2

if i am a gamer n also wan some basic multitasking use，can any 1 suggest a kernal for me?i am now using forfivo bigmen kernal，it is good，but i hope can get the smooth n best kernal for gaming~

The way you type, its assumed you're using JB. Use forfivo v2. For now JB does not have alot of kernel developers. Or you can try hadi's JB kernel for gaming purposes.
