[Q] ICS overclock?? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Just wondering if anyone was overclocking your phones while using ICS?
i have tried many ROMS and Kernals posted by you all, been doing alot of underclocking mainly, but just was curious as if there was a way to overclock using any of the kernals....
i DO realize that alot of people would rather underclock to save batt...including myself. just was curious and willing to try it out....
any pointers or apps avail?
thanx!

We can't overclock until we have the source code from Samsung

You can overclock and undervolt with tegrak. I don't do too much overclocking as it is kind of pointless with the chip we have. But I use tegrak to under volt.

oh... well thanx for the replies.. i guess ill wait till the codes come out.. i was using teragat when i had GB..
seems like overclocking would make sence wih ics considering its being released on higher powered phones. just seemed like if i overclocked at 1.4ghz and chose a handy set of tweeks for one of the devs, then any and all lags and microsec freezes would go away...
anyways.. thanx again...

I am looking forward to being able to overclock this phone to on CM9, it will definitely help extend the life of our phone a little longer. I plan on keeping this phone for at least another year so the more speed the better

I overclocked my ICS to 1.4GHz. That is the highest it will go without having to start bumping up the voltage. The highest I got it to was 1.8GHz with voltage increases. Anything higher than 1.4 requires me to over volt the phone and thus eats battery fast. I settled on 1.4 and a good trade off for speed and battery life. If I plan on being out away from a charger I can use Teragat to under clock my phone to get maximum battery life.

this is from a stock rotted evo, i would like to know is it possible to go faster with less lag? my friend has a galaxy s from tmobile and his overclocks at 2100 no bull****
the first one is mine the second is a friend of mine
Root it, flash a custom kernel like netarchys and OC it..
I'm calling BS on overclocking to 2100mhz... I have serious doubts that the hummingbird processor can handle a 110% OC

Pretty sure he meant that his score 2100+ on quadrant. Not sure.

Its called Cyanogen Mod. Add the snap 7.6 turbo kernel. I was getting closer to 3000 on quadrant on it. Best was 2910. Its a beast. I just love sense too much, soooo much prettier and more functional. Go enjoy some CNMOD
When u get those are there things that don't work like WiFi or 4g or something

With CM6 4G isnt working but wifi works fine. With most the roms now everything works. If something doesnt work its it will be in the OP of that rom thread.
Also I read over at the CM forum what they are doing with the Epic is a some sorta lag switch turn off. Its has nothing to do with over clocking the phone yet. I have seen those numbers before with the Epic.

Have voltages been tweaked to allow you to run it at these speeds and it still be stable?
Edit: Have you compiled the new wifi driver to go with the kernel as well?
I think it would be best if you just posted it anyway. Those interested will download it, use it, comment, etc. Those uninterested will ignore.
Sounds crazy. How would it effect bacon bits if you have that installed?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Yes I have the wifi driver and no it wont affect bacon bits. It is actually now 1.9Ghz and I'm reaching for the big 2.0. I am using coolbho3's source code and 1.8 worked on 1400Mhz and 1.9ghz is at 1500. It gets a little warm but setcpu profiles are a must

What have the voltages been tweaked to? If the Cpu isnt getting enough voltage and you continue to overclock your gonna begin to get negative effects followed by freezing and rebooting. Not really concerned too much about battery life as much as stability.
EDIT: Oh NVM i see what your saying the Mhz after the 1400 threw me off
Seeing as this post already has so many posts I'll be posting it in a bit after I have tested for bugs. Watch this thread for updates.

Hopefully this leads to a 2.3 root solution.
Working fine so far. Maxed it out and ran stress test for about five minutes and all is well. Any chance of getting the other schedulers and scaling types in the future? Just want the best performance and best screen off battery savings. Great work though. I was hoping a dev work run with the source for sense once it was out(sort of apperently)

No, you will have to wait for a kernel dev to tackle it, or do it yourself. I am not a kernel dev, and this was more or less a test to see if we could get it compiling (since it was missing files from source).
Hmmm....whenever i finally get my inc2 rooted, if ever, im gonna hopefully use this.

got a hard lock simply typing a text message on google voice. maybe my DINC2 can't handle 1.6 ghz.
Thought i was alone with rhe lock up. Had to go back to stock kernel until i better understand how work with overclocking.
Edit: reinstalled this kernel. This time i also installed Setcpu. All it well and right once again. It appears as though my dev doesn't like running at 1650 but is happy at about 1350. Will see how it goes. May tweak it more.
Don;t clock to 1.6ghz then
Does this disable perflock? I have no clue about sense kernels I'm just wondering if I can use things like Juicedefender to regulate clock speeds without having to rely on SetCPU unlock it on every boot.
Installed this and no my wifi doesn't work I will keep playing with it, but it will not let me connect to my wep network.

Calkulin's Rom is Fast...

Anybody with questions about the speed of Calk's Rom, here it is. Not sure how this compares with other, more modern phones. Quadrant seems a bit out dated at the moment. This is at forced 1.6 ghz with the LoST kernel Exp build. I don't particularly trust the kernel that gets up to 1.8 ghz..

Try it with Renegade kernel.
It is extremely fast!
I'm loving it but I'm just wondering how to add TSMParts (such as multiple lockscreens like Starburst has or extended toggles). With those tweaks, this would be nearly perfect.

3g and wifi are internet speeds. Benchmarks are your cpu speeds. Neither wifi or 3g will affect the benchmarks.

You realize that none of these "fast" roms are actually faster than stock?
All of them use various tricks to improve the sd card score without affecting the cpu/gpu scores. Quadrant is a flawed benchmark susceptible to cheating that way.
None of those "high" scores truly translate to real world performance improvements.

Who gives a damn?
Kernels don't "go to" megahertz. Your hardware can either handle it or it can't.
Get any kernel which allows cpu voltage tinkering, and figure out your best speed.

First off bench scores are about the same with any Rom depending on the Kernel and they really mean nothing other then posting them.
I have and i am still on this Rom right now but all i get are reboots and when i do reboot my phone loops and i have to flash all over again.
And yes i wipe all before i flash.

What undervolt apps do you guys use?

Just curious as to what is popular as far as undervolting apps go on the SGS II. Its one of the only things i havnt messed with on this phone. Back on my captivate i had super awesome undervolts with using the "Voltage Control" app. I loved that thing, can it stull be used on the SGS II?
and also if any of you have an awesome UV that works for you, mind posting the settings here?

Haik,
What happen, AT$T throttle you out the door too? lol
If you're looking for battery improvement, try Kobridge tweaks linked under KO in my sig.
There are diff modes for better performance(SF) to better battery(A)
They definitely perfect CM9
Tegrak works well, but I don't undervolt because of the KO tweaks.
Tegrak is the only one we can use right now. I prefer SetCPU though because it's a lot simpler. I hope to return to using that once we get custom kernels after ICS source is out.
