Hello, I'm dumping my most amazing phone ever (Dinc) that I've had since the day it came out because Verizon are greedy *******s, and I just ordered a Gnex GSM from the Google Play Store.
When it arrives, I was wondering what I can expect to achieve via an Overclock and have the system still perform rock solid.
Thanks!
subjective. different for everyone and depends on temp, usage, stability of app youre running etc etc. just bump 5% at a time until you crash then drop it down one notch
You also need to disable smart reflex to hit the higher clock speeds without random freezes or crashes. I am running the trinity kernel at 1520 MHz stable with mpu smart reflex disabled.

i can't provide any input on overclocking because this phone performs so well without it that i haven't found a need to. plus, the battery life is bad enough.

really, its different for every phone. I run 1.804ghz(trinity) stable after a little voltage adjustment. and you would have to turn off smart reflex for that. you will have t read up about smart reflex.
As said above it varies. Fastest I ran that was stable (at least for me) was 1.9 GHz (Franco Kernel) but there wasn't much benefit. I'm currently on Trinity at 1.4 GHz. Trinity on 1.7 GHz crashes for me.

Out of interest for you guys on 1.8/1.9Ghz, what do you have yours so high for? Games? Just interested as I actually have mine UNDERCLOCKED to 1096 and have no 'real world' use for anymore. Mind you, I'm not a big gamer so I wouldn't know how the nexus really handles 3d gaming.

With Trinity kernel for JB, I'd guess that 1420MHz CPU / 384MHz GPU would be stable for most phones, and it gives you a good little boost in benchmarks, fwiw. That's about the highest you can run without having to remember to tweak other values. And you can knock it down to 1036 or 1190 MHz if you need to save battery. My phone tests ok with the 15xx/5xx MHz kernel, but there isn't much additional oomph in the benchmarks, so I just use the 1420. Also don't want to abuse my phone too much.
Well the faster CPU helps with n64 emulation some games need a bit more omph to play smooth

Gnex overclock
I have overclocked my Gnex to 1.6 with the glados kernel and using the glados control app it's very stable. I tried 1.8 but crashes but I would highly recommend glados very stable at 1.6 and runs a quadrant score in the 2800's

Congrats on dumping Verizon. They are the worst. I am happy to be rid of them. Trinity 1344 and Franco Milestone 5 have been the most stable for me. I currently am running Franco Milestone 5 at 1536, it's fast and stable. You gotta remember too that this phone is running Jelly Bean and a dual core which will be faster than your Dinc anyways.

You have to see the battery issue as well, if not to its will end quickly! In my opinion, use it in Stock is enough. But sometimes I get to put on 1.4Ghz CPU, and I reduce the voltages using the app franco kernel.
I was running Franco milestone 5 at 1536 nice and stable. I think I'm going to drop it back to stock-ish speeds and undervolt it a bit to save battery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Thanks for all the input everyone.
I guess my last question now would be, if I root and keep the Stock ROM, has anyone experimented overclocking the stock kernel?
And if I decided to install CWM, and keep the stock ROM, would Trinity or Franco work on that? Or would I have to install something like CM10 or AOKP to use those other Kernels.
I would rather just like to stay stock without CWM and overclock the stock kernel.

Hey guys Just got my hands on a dinc2. I'm coming from the evo shift, its great to see 3.5 roms. Looks like the incredible 2 has a strong community, I will contribute as much as possible.
What are you guys have your kernel OC'd to? How much undervolted can she take? Does anyone use tv-out?

As far as OC and UV I don't bump it real high, as a matter of fact right now I'm running at 1 ghz (stock speed) if I do OC I'm usually running it at 1.3 ghz.
UV usually a decent is -50 under. Much under that and you could run into freezing up.
I don't remember if TV out works very well with this phone (or at all, I just don't remember lol)

1.8 is a bit extreme. That's not something you won't wanna keep for long periods of time. I heard that can mess things up potentially.

Yeah, it got pretty warm, but i was careful to make sure i didnt melt a hole in my back cover xD.
I'm not too sure what the max temp these phones can handle is, i'm just giving an extreme example of what the phone can handle, i wouldnt reccomend more than 1.6, at the highest, 1.4 is fine for daily use

it's always cool to do that just for testing purposes but oc'ing your phone to that level will only fry out your cpu faster as well as kill your battery life. not really necessary to oc this phone above 1.3ghz and if you want to save battery uv between -25 to -50.
I have been running 1.4 for a while now. I uv -25, except the top two voltages I leave stock. Might try -50 eventually. Battery life is pretty beasty with smartassv2
Sent from my mobile typewriter with tapatalk
Oh that reminds me actually, when i oc to 1.8 (or is it 1.9, forgot what aero's kernel maxes at) i CANNOT run it at smartassV2
Locks up for me past 1.5ish every time when i'm on smartassv2, i have to switch to smoothass for the phone to work well
However, i've had no problems with smartassv2 below 1.5, which is why i run it on my phone
This is my first rooted device and I'd like to set the CPU frequency higher. I've read that 1600 is moderately safe and 1800 is feasible. After installing setcpu I've realized that CM10's kernel does not allow overclocking. What is the best action to take? Am I out of luck if I want to stick with CM10? Or is there another kernel I can use compatible with CM10? Thanks for reading.

Try kt kernel in original development, I've used it with great success. Has oc up to 1.89. Also allows you to under volt to save some battery. In conjunction with ktoonz kernel get voltage control from the market to adjust cpu clock and voltages.

Thanks for the suggestion. I used Leankernel all day without a single issue that isn't specific to CM10 right now.
P.S. I also upgraded the modem to I747UCLH1 from this thread. To anyone interested, test your data speed on all three modems to find the best one to keep. My rates doubled with this new modem.

Hey this might be a bit late on this thread, but Siyah has just released an updated, which works with cm10 and allows for overclocking up to 1600, and undervolting to save on that ole battery... currently for the galaxy s3
Obligatory reminder:
Not all phones are the same. Some tolerate overclock/undervolt better than others. What you WANT your phone to do may not actually be what it WILL do. Start slow, only change one step at a time. I would recommend finding the perfect oc point for your phone, then slowly, slowly working the undervolt into it.
Hey. I'm using the rooted stock jelly bean ROM with KT747 on my i747m. I'm wondering if there is a nice stable kernal for the i747 on stock ROM that would allow me to overclock the GPU a bit. I got my phone stable 2.1GHz at 1250mV and now the GPU is really holding me back in NFS:MW, dead trigger, NOVA 3, etc.
Is 2.1GHz at 1250mV a good OC? I noticed the default voltage for 2.1 was much higher. I had it stable at 1240mV (tested with setCPU, antutu, stability test 2.7) and ran it all day without any problems but I bumped it up 10mV just to be safe.
Thanks.
GPU OCs have been proven to not help. It actually hurts sometimes.

That's definitely strange. How would raising clock speeds hurt/not do anything? That seems pretty ridonculous.
I'm thinking of flashing a different kernel to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus so I can overclock the CPU/GPU. I've noticed that franco.Kernel and Trinity seem to be among the most popular kernels, but I'm not sure which one to choose. In your opinion, what is the best kernel for overclocking and why? FWIW, I have the Verizon model of the phone (toro) and am currently running CyanongenMod 4.1.2, which is based off of Android 4.2.2.

Antutu or CF bench are good apps.. And a warning: overclocking will decrease the life of your phone! Be careful! If you want to use your phone a little longer I wouldn't do it (I wouldn't anyway because I think this phone is very fast especially with Android 4.3)..

Hi,
I've decided to bump this thread because all other GNex OC threads are very dated.
I recently received the extended battery 200mah and I'm ready to overclock. I wish to retain battery life to have screen time 3-4 hour on moderate usage.
I'm current rooted on stock ROM, and I wish to simply stay with stock ROM provided battery life will remain the same (perhaps I have to undervolt)
I want to hit 1.5GHz CPU and 384MHz GPU...which is what the OMAP and PowerVR SoC's true default clocks.
Given my circumstances of stock ROM, which kernel would give me the best stability/battery life? Any kernel that somehow has OC settings built in or do they all require me to buy setCPU?

They all use setcpu or trickster mod. Regarding the kernel you just should try some out.

I don't OC myself. I want my gnex to last some longer. OC will wear out tour CPU.. I die it once for a day maybe two but didn't notice any improvement. I was at 1.5 GHz or something.. I think it may have some speed improvements but your battery will drain like a maniac. If you don't game I suggest you underclock: even more battery life with no speed loss!!

Hi, I was wondering if you have overclocked your SGH-T989 to 1.8GHz on the Hellybean [4.3] ROM?
(I'm currently running CM10.1 on the S2)
If you did overclock to 1.8GHz, did you:
1. experience heat and stability issues?
2. overVOLT the processor?
3. experience significantly lower battery life?
If you overclocked on stock voltage, what's the max freq. you got it to run stable at?
Oh, and does the permissions manager work on Hellybean (I'm getting sick and tired of stupid apps asking to read my contacts, etc)?
My phone runs fine a max oc, without overvolting, usually I undervolt when I oc just to save batt, but no issues, hellybean is a beast of a build, and u can always check with @ThdDude as its his build, permission manager works fine, as I said that build is amazing work there should be no issues

Thanks! I just bought my T989 off eBay today for $132 in total (not bad eh?). I sold 2 of my PSP 1000s and got $140 for them, so yeah, I'd say it's a pretty good deal. I actually got my mom a T989 (currently running CM10.1) around 3 weeks ago, but it cost $190!
Can't wait to flash 4.3 Hellybean on mine, it should be coming next Monday - Wednesday.
