Best route for overclocking with CM10?

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.

I use Leankernel to go up to 1.9Ghz :good:

Mine has been getting pretty damn hot just at stock clock speeds...you sure you want to do that? CM10 is so fast already!

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.

Kt new kernel up. 2.1ghz ktweeker app. Running Sammy version and it's blazin fast.

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.

Cyanogenmod 7 and 10 overclocking questions

hi i'm looking to overclock my sprint epic 4g cpu up to 1.8ghz and also the gpu to 300mahz and 72hz refresh rate
on either cyanogenmod 7 or 10
what kernel and ROM and CPU/GPU overclocking apps should I use with voltage control and what (safe) voltages should I try for the cpu and gpu ARM and Internal voltages (what build number do I need for cm 7 or 10 (either stable or nightly)
also I noticed that the slide out keyboard shift and function keys don't work on cyanogenmod 10 stable build not sure about a nightly build
I'd like to fix the keyboard too
i'd like to be able to turn the boot logo on and off and possibly change it to a different one and also add a boot up sound to the logo
should I use the franko or samurai or maybe a different kernel ?
what modem should I use for max speed (EL30 FC09 FC19 or Nexus LF2 K2 ?) and compatible rom
I know how to install everything just need advice
If all of the above isn't possible at least I'd like to get the CPU to the highest possible speed past 1.2 ghz if possible most of all and not have random reboots or lockups or sleep of death and woking keyboard and least amount of bugs in the rom
Thank you so much in advance for any advice

Do your shift and Fn keys work if you hold them down when using them? Kind of like the way you would use them on a PC keyboard?

Last thing I know of that had what you're looking for is CM9 with Samurai Kernel. The processor clocks to 1.5 Ghz and I believe the gpu is overclocked to 400Mhz. Idk what the refresh rate for the screen is, but that combo would probably be the closest to what you're looking for

^^^^this... there is no franco kernel here, that's for the epic touch... nobody has been able to overclock this phone past 1.6 Ghz... samurai had 1.6 at one point, but it was removed because there were stability issues with most phones trying to overclock that high... samurai has always been my favorite kernel from tw gb roms all the way to cm9... sadly development stopped when earthbound upgraded and there is no samurai kernel for cm10 or 10.1... everybodies phone is different and handles overclocking differently... best bet is to just keep trying combinations until you find your perfect match...

I have used it on CM9, and got it to 1.4 comfortably, but the kernel itself was quarky as hell. The battery died when unclocked and- just all in all at bad kernel.
im curious on what he did to make it do that though. Was it an app he combined into the kernel? Did he expand something?
Technically- OC"ing is just like any normal OC. INcrease the multiplier or frequency and then manipulate the voltage to handle the work. But- THe couple app i foudn that do that- like uh... setcpu, targek or something all arent supported by our rom/kernel/ something. Its rather frustrating.
With the Packman ROM im using, he combined the Performance control into the rom, and you can actually change the voltages- but.. i cant make it go faster.
TO go on with that- i still cant find a way to OC the GPU. i see people saying they got it up to 400mhz. or something. But- HOW!? an app? Kernel again!? heck, i dont even know what the stock settins are. :/

GPU overclocking is achieved in the kernel.

1. He did it by being a kernel master... 2. they aren't supported because of the kernel you're using. 3. And again, the kernel you're using. The only way to overclock the gpu is with the samurai kernel.
4. And most importantly, for everything you want out of a kernel, it's about time to learn Linux and build your own kernel...

Aww man I miss Samurai's 400MHz GPU OC... But the Voodoo defaults there is VERY terrible... Just why isn't there a kernel with ONLY GPU OC (i.e. no CPU OC up to like 1.4GHz (I think games depend more badly on GPU) and no Voodoo and such)...

If you build it, they will flash it!

Yes, for those looking for an easy way out, it's not going to happen. Learn to make a kernel then learn how to manipulate the settings. If it was easy then everyone would be doing it. No one has any other spoon fed answers.

I think not having an easy way out may be the definition of xda-developers. Forget where I read it but it's about the journey rather than the destination, which I know doesn't hold true for every one but I know it does for me.

It's more based on how the rom works, and the kernel yes helps with CPU and GPU scores but I noticed his GPU scores are lower than mine, one of the nation reasons I'm still stock. Because it's probably persues kernel and has issues with FPS in real world and quadrant performance.
He probably ran it 1600/1600 on performance or something on those lines
Edit: this is mine stock rooted GPU much better than his, until persues can match this without overclocking the GPU just to get the same performance I do on stock I'm not switching.

Maybe you should consider that you're not the brightest, most experienced person in this thread before talking smack.
Exposing a component to more heat means you are shortening its life, there is no doubt about that. Those with overclocked desktop CPUs often have elaborate setups with overclocking in mind. You can't add a better heatsink, or a fan to your phone. Mobile CPUs, especially, are designed to be efficient at a certain range of clock frequencies. Moving it too far from the norm means you eventually see diminishing returns.
I've fried everything from my first Commodore 64 to my current box, and everything in between. If you think the phone can function at that level for an extended period of time without failure, best of luck to you.

Dude it was part of the whole meaning of rooting and tweaking. Checking different settings for a little bit, testing them and then reverting back to defaults. I will never leave overclocked/ undervolted or vice-versa settings for a whole day... its just part of the fun of tweaking and experimenting with our devices...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

I am all for overclocking, modding, tweaking, hacking, etc. Breaking **** is the best way to learn. But that doesn't mean you should push your hardware past the point of exponentially diminishing returns, and increased risk of burning your chips out. That is, unless, you have no problem with the very real possibility that you'll need to buy a new phone.
That being said, kudos on "going plaid" with your Quadrant score

Its the Redpill v1.42... I prefer it compared to all the others i used ( stock, perseus, n.e.a.k., note2core). Those results were with stock rom but redpill kernel.

[Q] kernals for GPU OC?

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.

Any GPU Overclocking Kernels for...

I recently flashed the KT747 for a super fast 2.1mHz CPU overclock. But then after flashing I realized it doesn't overclock the GPU that much.
Are there any kernels that can overclock the GPU to about 700mHz?
-Thanks for any help!

Sorry for CyanogenMod 10.1 (d2att) nightly ROM.
Does the new SiyahKernel work with the ATT Galaxy S3 running CM10.1 nightly?

Ah stupid me I meant 2.1ghz or 2106mHz CPU overclock.

I don't think any kernels do GPU OC, because it has shown to cause more problems than it is worth. That's just what I remember KT saying.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Most custom kernels if not all already have GPU OCd to 450mhz
Over clocking the GPU on a GS3 is not needed and even with it over clocked, you wouldn't tell the difference. It also leads to issues and battery drainage.
The S3 doesn't need OC at all 1.2Gz with 2Gz of ram leaves no place for lag.

I haven't had any lag whatsoever at any point that I've had my S3. Try reflashing your rom and completely wiping. Also try a different kernel and kernel settings.
This phone shouldn't lag at all. Maybe a little on TouchWiz but never on AOSP

My s3 lags at 2.1 GHz too. Try it at 1.6 or 1.7 GHz or change governor settings to a faster ramp up one.
