My friends SII from T-mobile runs butter smooth with an overclock at 1.8GHz. I don't really get why no one has overclocking available for the Epic Touch. Are there any roms Icecream or Jellybean that is overclock-able?
Yes, I know the phone still runs great with even an underclock. Yeah, battery life is better. Those things are not a concern to me. I don't use my phone hours on end and I always have a charging port near me a majority of the time. So battery life isn't an issue for me.
All ics roms running with the 3 source based kernels can be overclocked. I am not sure about CM9. Jb roms cannot be overclocked yet because we don't have source yet.
On jellybean you can use tegrak overclock.

I have tried that but had no success. Is there a certain way you're supposed to accomplish overclocking past 1.2GHz?

It still has the same processor. It shouldn't matter what they run it at.
The kuban kernel does have over clock for ics stock based roms. Any time I run ics tw I flash kuban kernel
Only problem is that I can't seem to find a good stable rom. There is this one that is pretty good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874374
But development on it is basically slim to nothing now.

It does NOT have the same processor. We have the better Exynos CPU with a Mali GPU. The D710 outperforms the T-Mobile variant with only 1.2Ghz versus the 1.5Ghz on the T989.
The T-Mobile and the AT&T Skyrocket variants use Snapdragon CPUs and Adreno GPUs.

Interesting fact I didn't know about. But the only thing I know is that his phone overclocked at 1.8Ghz runs butter smooth just like an iPhone and much more smooth than mine.
I am on the Blu Kuban FI27 , and it has an overclock of 1.6 ghz.
I have tried it but the phone gets flaky fast, and also gets extremely hot around camera area.
Personally , I run mine at 1.1 high end and 800 low end. It performs just fine. I am a heavy gamer, play Modern Combat, Order and Chaos, Need for Speed Most Wanted , and rarely see any hiccups if any.
Good luck, but be careful....the heat my phone created at 1.6 tests will destroy your phone in no time.

I am actually surprised that stock kernel with Tegrak is giving higher numbers than our current overclockable kernels. It was never that way on the OG Epic unless you really got brave. 1.4 was safe Max on OG Epic and people got brave and got it to 1.6 with Tegrak and insane voltages...but not daily use stable. Just to run some benchmarks ans snap some screenies. Then there was Marcusant's UberQuadrant terminal command that gave 9000+ quadrants. Its easily tricked but a good tool to gauge differences in your personal setup

I think it has to do with the source kernel not being 100% compared to the actual kernel that comes on the phone. Was going back and forth with sammy about this and with some recent info from mkasick I'm hoping the next response I get is something along the lines of "Oooh **** our bad here is the correct defconfig"

You should so troll the evo3d crowd with that lol.
Lol. I liked that phone, just not as much as this one.
in my rooted room setcou and other tools shows the cpu as stock or base at 1.0ghz but will let me overclock it to 1.2 not 1.5 where it should be on stock rom it was stuck at one and on the sony ported one it will let me goto 1.6 but it get real hot and unstable at 1.5 whats the deal did we gt lied to on the cpu thats realy in the phone fior specs?
A stock Epic 4G Touch is 1.2 ghz.
It's 1.2 Dual core
thank you for some crazy reason i thought the factory specs was 1.5 but still dont explain why the os limits it to 1.0 if i didnt root it

if ur running any custom rom with a battery saver script they most likely have it set to 1.0ghz sometimes even lower just regular usage i have it set to 800 and it runs smooth as silk ..if your not doing anything extreme you might never notice a difference by overclocking... actually im lying there is a deference the bugs that come with extreme overclocking not to mention the reduced life of your phone...but i think we're all guilty of overclocking just to do it.. and most of us just to brag about quadrant scores here's mine over clocked at 1.6 on performance with blendz rom but got really buggy

Yup!
I posted this in the AOKP thread actually. I saw it fly past my twitter that it was updated for GalaxySII but figured it was for the international versions, or for that matter just non-sprint. But I updated it and it does indeed allow overclocking.
Yeah, pretty freaking sweet....cant wait to see how much more I can get out of the battery now.
I'll be even more excited when we have the source for the kernel. I would like to see some more governors available, such as Smartass. The three we have available, User Space, On Demand and Performance aren't really spectacular, though they do the job.

I subtracted 75mv from all of the voltages. So it is undervolted by 75mv. Definitely seeing longer battery life than yesterday, but the rom was also flashed yesterday, so it might just be settling in.
I have had numerous kernel panic lockups and spontaneous reboots trying to use tegrak at speeds and voltages that were perfectly stable on 2.3. I even tried to go a little higher on voltages. Still reboots. Think it just isn't ready for primetime yet.

Calkulins roms have the battery saver script in them that controls the CPU clock. Even if you over clock on Calkulins, it will go back to whatever his script says unless his script allows the app that your using to overclock.
His script disables if it sees any other app that controls cpu.

I would see absolutely no need to overclock this phone, but I can definitely get behind undervolting at stock speed. Neato.
just installed and oc'd to 1.3ghz, and undervolted by -75 for each frequency. Also, somewhat weird is that no benchmark shows a second core. Does AOKP not use both cores?

Using the optimization settings you should be able to get a little higher. Getting the voltage right is going to be the trick for sure.

From another poster: He references using "siyah" kernel in his S3, which appears to be an international version with the same processor as we have. He indicates the need for "stweaks". He talks about GPU "steppings" so I'm not sure if Andrielux has changed these in his kernel. I installed the app "stweaks" but it wouldn't load as it said "no kernel support".
Wow!!! What in the world. Is this for real? I wonder how stable it is. From 440 up to 800?! They are using some app called Stweaks (and the kernel of course) to do it. Love to see that on our Note 2.
And since it seems that the GPU wasn't changed much....from the Galaxy s2 series... "700 Mhz - 1100 mv" is only 75mv higher than the stock 440...and accoring to the forums stable. A 70% increase in speed and stable. This is a must have for any newer kernels.

why overheat the gpu when I can get the same performance on stock kernel.
It has to be the way he has it coded. Till it matches stock and further progress dev for it ill step in. I do appreciate his work and time. But for me I need something better than stock. I got this phone for a reason haha.

Yep. Seems like a very stable kernel to me. But the guy above is saying that the kernel has low framerates compared to stock. I am hoping he will test the Neak kernel out.

Sorry but I will not ill be sticking to stock maybe in the future. That kernel seems weird not sure which to choose. And like I said, I don't see the point of downloading a kernel know that will I will basically need to overclock the gpu just to get the same performance as I would on the stock kernel.
