[Q] Highest Stable Overclock? (On JB)

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.

I can get 1500 MHz on faux kernel, 1800 crashes 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.

Because I can. Because Android fills my daily fix of tinkering and tweaking.

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.

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.

AnTuTu benchmarks

Rom - CM10 skank
Kernel - LeanKernel.
Anyone getting these results?
Shoot, sorry, my bad, I did not see the benchmark thread already. I'm stupid.

What scaling are you using? I'm on ondemand and only getting about 6500. I'm on the official nightlies so maybe that's the difference. Anyways impressive scores my friend.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Thank you, I am using ondemand, but my freq is at 1900, is yours? the cm10 kernel gives about 7830, but I started using LeanKernel and started getting 9000+ wow, using skank nightlies, I was running stock roms and all were giving me high 5000, so this is the rom I am sticking with. Seriously, the phone is FLYING.

[Q] Lemon Processor? [Solved]

After owning the Galaxy S3 for 2 months and doing lots of flashing of roms and kernels, I've decided that I have a lemon CPU. So my GSIII can't score over 6000 in Antutu, even at 2Ghz/Performance (it actually scored 4800 @ that speed), because the processor score is so low. The highest I've scored in Quadrant is ~5800, @ 2Ghz/Performance. I can't undervolt below 1050/1075 mv @ 384 because I get crackling when listening to music. It runs all smooth though. I had some performance issues in NOVA 3, but I think that was a rom issue. So, what do you guys think?

The rom you use will drastically change your benchmarking scores. For instance. I used to always get under 6000 in Antutu on every TW rom. OCd to 2 GHz as well. Now I am running JB CM10 and am getting well over 8000. No crackling in music while undervolt etc.
Your CPU is fine

I tried CM10 too though... About a month ago. Same 4900ish score. I got like 6000 one time on a TW rom.
Edit: I retract that. I tried the new JB TW rom and got 6000... with power saver... on Antutu. Maybe I just have a finicky CPU! Looks like for the first time ever, with the JB TW Rom, I hit a few points of 8000 in Antutu and 6000 in Quadrant... I don't know what the deal is. I have been trying different roms since the beginning of August and then today I tried a new one that worked for me. I guess I retract my question. Thanks!

Anytime! Remember those benchmarks can vary drastically even between test. A reboot could give you an extra 1000. Use them with a grain of salt.
Don't forget to use sunspider! Its a web based benchmark that tests your browsers speed.

[Q] What's the best kernel?

Hi everyone!
I'm not very experienced in android stuff so i'm going to post a screenshot to make it easier. i'm currently running these(screenshot in attachament)
What should i update or change to increase my battery life? I currently can't get over a 8-9hrs average batery lifetime. I also would like to remain with PA rom.
I heard some things that changing kernel will improve battery but i also dont want to lose any performance.
Thx,
green^

there is no best, every device is different and every user has different needs. its suggested that you try different kernels and find the one that you and your device likes the best.

Can u give me any suggestion? For eg. what do u use?

Ex : for ~1h of games (HOC, Road Trip...), ~100 SMS, ~20 min call, ~ 2-3h of internet (twitter, Facebook, G+, ...)
I've 1 day of battery life and everything is fluid and fast with Franco kernel 342 (Xylon 011)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

So you want suggestion? I would say go for popular kernels first and then flash different kernels when you have time to see which one fits you the most. The first kernel I went for is Trinity and Franco and I have to say, they are definitely my pick when it comes to kernels.

I use the Trinity kernel paired with the Rasbean Jelly ROM.. I love that combo

try AK kernel..it gives very good battery life without sacrificing performance.

I'm running CodenameAndroid and love it. I've tried Tiny Kernel, Franco's milestone 6, and Trinity. For me, I like Franco's the best and get a day of battery life with Moderate use, usually. I live in an area where signal is terrible so I attribute most of my battery problems to that.

Offtopic: what is your max score in quadrant?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

When you ask which kernel you will get 4 different suggestions like you did above lol. Here's another one, personally I don't use Franco I like Trinity and AK kernels.
Also, quadrant scores mean NOTHING but if you like to live off getting high scores in quadrant AK kernel destroys quadrant scores.

BENCHMARK SCORES! - post your best scores!

Lets all post our Benchmarks!
I am using Antutu Benchmark found at the play store for free
I am currently running the Infamous1.5 ROM based on android 4.1.2
with the Infamous kernel .7.4 by Jamison904
BTW... I have about 85 or so personal apps installed in this mod
I am also running the World Weather Clock Widget at the same time
and I am not running any kernel tweaking software...
here is my score...

btw what is benchmark?

a benchmark is basically a set of tests to see how fast your phone is running
here is the dictionary meaning...
bench·mark
/ˈbenCHˌmärk/
Noun
A standard or point of reference against which things may be compared or assessed.
Verb
Evaluate or check (something) by comparison with a standard: "we are benchmarking our performance against external criteria".
if you want to compare your device to others
go to playstore and download Antutu Benchmark and run it

I know my device would score low...I'm setup for stability and battery life.
Those with really high scores are tweaked for Max performance and probably carry an a/c charger in their pockets!

AOKP JB MR1 milestone 1.
Stock kernel. Both Cpu cores underclocked to 1.35 Ghz
Btw about 115 personal apps no mods at the moment.
Aaaaand with only one hour of screen time this is the battery life I get.

Actually I posted a benchmark and mentioned that screen was on for one hour. It was mainly a response to an earlier post about high performance means battery sacrifice. More people on this forum need to learn the balance between power vs stability/battery. Not directed at anyone in particular btw

That's great and all, but hardly surprising. It's about double in scores because it has double the cores. Personally for me this would have no positive effect on my phone usage, but I would have a worse camera and have to use an lcd screen.

Yea.. not for me. A much faster phone would be nice. The Nexus 4 is much faster and smoother on all fronts. I've had 3 t989s and the camera is absolutely nothing to write home about. Compared to an exynos powered GS2, the sensor on this camera sucks.. and don't say theyre the same because they are not. SAMOLED is awesome but outdoors it's a pile of sh*t.
Point is, to each their own.
