Hi, I just got a Note 2 and rooted it. I'm new to Android (just switched from iPhone) and I was wondering if there is any way to Overclock the AT&T Note 2. I just figured out how to get new ROMs onto the phone so I got the Jedi one. Sorry if this is in the wrong place in the forums, I didn't know where to put it, any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Android. You are in exactly the right place to ask general questions. If you have a ROM specific question, you should go to the Q&A thread for that ROM.
As far as your question regarding overclocking the NII, you have to have source before anyone can add overclocking to the kernel. I believe there is source for Ice Cream Sandwich, but none yet for Jelly Bean. If you feel the need to overclock, then you should try an ICS ROM. I personally have not felt the need to overclock the NII. It has always been plenty fast for anything I've done. But I don't play games, so I don't know how it runs them.

There was Oc kernails for note 1 jb rom wasn't there?
Thank you for the super fast reply, I'm already liking android more tha ios but I don't know what a source kernel is or where I could find a ICS rom for the i317 note 2?

What he was really saying is the note 2 running non OC kernel is just as fast as the note 1 running an OC kernel. You've not gonna find an ICS ROM for this device

Here are two methods.
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001936
Flash it onto your note 2 in CWM recovery. Choose which overclock suits you the best. Use system tuner app from play store to change GHz of processor after you flash one of those kernals.
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983658
This one is the most popular, its extremely stable. Overclocks your CPU to 1.8 GHz. Use system tuner app from play store to change GHz of CPU after you flash this kernal.
If you have questions, do ask!
Please keep in mind that overclocking is an art. Two devices with the same hardware might not overclock the same. One might go up to 2ghz while another might only make it up to 1.7. Start slow and make sure it is running stable before increasing the overclock. Use small increments. Also one kernel might not overclock the same as another. Good luck and have fun!

Thank you guys for the information, the Perseus kernel works with the AT&T note 2?
curious what benefits come with oc'ing the note 2. i mean its 1.6 GHZ quad LOL id like to think that can handle anything w.o even touching it

I have seen 2.1 up to 2.3. 2.1 is publicly available.
If I overclocked it to 2.1 would my antutu scores be better than when it's only at 1.8? Cuz I got 19937 on antutu on 1.8ghz. Also, thanks for all of your input into this thread.
And where could I find the kernel to let me over clock to 2.1ghz?
I really wouldn't ever go above 1.5GHz on a quad-core phone... are you gonna feel a difference between 20k and 18k when it comes to real world performance? Seriously doubt it. My optimus G was at 20k when I first opened it, its sitting at 17k now. No difference at all in real world terms. All you're doing is cooking your CPU. Please. Don't go over 2GHz.. and if you do, you should be able to start cooking eggs on your phone real soon.

Is it possible that we will see an ICS kernel built from source that has been tweaked to support overclocking as well as undervolting?
I realise that source has just came out for our phone but at the same time I find that ICS is rather laggier and has much more latency than when I used GB Juggernaut OC's to 1.73 ghz. Irreguardless of people that will hate on me for saying I experience latency with stock and custom ICS Roms, I am still just wondering if we will be able to OC again one day while on Android 4.0+.
Additionaly,
I know that TheDerekJay has a custom kernel called "Venom" but I do not believe it has OC capabilities.
Does anyone have information pertaining to this subject. All help will be appreciated and thanked

I rooted my Galaxy Nexus two days ago and I got the new Jelly Bean OS, but problem is now my phone's CPU is back to 1.2 GHz and I would like to overclock it back to about 1.4-1.5 GHz. I have an extended battery so overclocking really isn't an issue with me.
Has anyone developed any kernels I can flash onto this new OS phone?

I'm using Franco's kernel, which allows for overclocking up to 1.9Ghz. You'll need to buy his app though I think to be able to set the custom speed (or wait for a ROM that has the feature built-in).

Riiiight... SetCPU ... It's been a while since I've used that one so I forgot about it . Used to use it on my Nexus One though, great app.
However if you're using Franco's kernel, buying his app is a great way to support the dev plus you get easy access to all the possible tweaks you can make with his kernel. Worth every cent !

Try and see yourself. Each phone is different. As a famous kernel dev says. No two chips are the same.

Don't let KTweaker set your frequencies at boot and see how high you can go. Use a stress testing app. The worst that will happen is a reboot. I'm lucky that my phone OC's to 2.1GHz without batting an eye but some GS3's struggle with just 1.7GHz.

Samsungs native clock is 1700. They under clock to be safe and improve the lifespan of CPU. You should be good running 1809 as most kernels included in ROMs are already using this step as their max.

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.
I just downloaded the Thor kernel and every time I try to over clock it to 2ghz it says it worked then I exit out of ROM toolbox and go back into it and it turns it all the way back down to 800mhz?
Try a different OC app. Such as voltage control
I've tried 3 different OC apps and they say that its at 2ghz then I run antutu and I get really low scores then I go back into the OC app and it says 800mhz?
Did you try "setcpu"?

Just a little friendly advice.. honestly I would do a lot more reading before you start OCing that high. The touchwiz/CM difference is at the most basic level of what you need to know to be messing with kernel settings, and while it's obviously up to you what you do with your phone, there's a lot you should learn between what rom your running, and what you're trying to do now.

Never mind, guess you said it was cm 10.1. What rom are you using to get to 2ghz?? And on cm? I've been searching all over for a kernel that worked for cm based roms on 4.2+ and haven't found anything. Anyway, try locking the clock speed (there should be a box you can check). If that doesn't work, try changing the governor to "performance". This will lock your phone at the max clock speed (that you have it set to, not the limit the kernel allows). If none of those work, it's probably because it's a phone safeguard -- you're not supposed to have it clocked that fast, it'll overheat your phone. The highest clock speed I've seen is 1.9ghz and that's PLENTY fast in my opinion
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
I already know that tw is touchwiz and cw is clockwork, I just didn't know if cm was cm or tw. I get what ROMs and kernels are and I understand over clocking, I just don't get why when I try to oc to 1.8ghz it works perfectly fine then when is use 2.0ghz it kicks it back down to 800mhz? The kernel I'm using is the Thor kernel, one of the people on the forums put a pic up of them getting 22,000 on antutu with their note 2 with the exact same setup that I have and it just doesn't work with me whenever I try to do a benchmark is when it kicks it back down. I know that every phone reacts different to over clocking and undervolting and everything but I just don't get why it kicks me back down?
Each processor is a little different. Yours might not be able to handle 2ghz so it might kick back down to protect itself from overheating/crashing. Just a guess
Sweet! Finally found what I've been looking for! Yeah just try a different governor, mine works (and sticks) at 2GHz
