Hi, i am currently using a kernal that is clocked at 1.42Ghz, see link below. Everything is stable and super smooth, i would like to know if there are kernals with a higher overclock than this and if other gnex are stable at them frequencies? Want push mine to see what its capable of.

If you read the UV/OC thread in the Dev section relating to UV/OC patches, you can see why overclocking past 1.4 isn't very stable..

Yes I have already read them, I'm currently on a Max frequency of 1.42Ghz + UV which isn't supposed to be stable, but I feel that my phone is capable of handling this, therefore I would like to know if there was anything else out there to see the maximum capabilities of my phone

Hey guys i am new in this nexus forum, lil bit confuse what kernel i would try, how was your experience? And post your battery life here.
Thank you.
And i need some clue for how much nexus can handle UV, post your settings too.
Mod, i dont see any similar thread here and if this is against the rules feel free to close this
Thanks

Using trinity atm.
This is one of the smoothest kernels in my oppinion.
And the vibration control is a must for me
I get around 3h of screen on time on normal use

Got vibration control using the trinity kernel toolbox app in the play store.
I usually dont mess with the voltages so i guess they are all stock

I like Faux, especially after GPU frequency scaling being added. Added some extra battery life to my device.

From what I know no extra apps needed, and I don't think it adds say an hour of battery life but it does add maybe 10 - 20 minutes. Obviously I can't run the exact same battery tests over but it does feel like my battery lasts longer. Could just be placebo though

Currently trying out the Jame Bond Kernel. The attractive part of it is that it's already undervolted and so far seems stable. Feels like i get a bit of extra time, but it isn't a major difference.
JameBond 3.4 and Franco milestone 6 are the kernels I use..both give great battery but JameBond 3.4 is pretty stock and Franco has a bunch more features..

Does anybody know if having the normal settings are better or under clocking (say 1Ghz) for battery for this particular phone?
I also know that a higher speed can perform the calculations faster and thus save power. But, I'm just curious if there is a sweet spot.

Have you tried under volting, by using a custom kernel. Word of warning not all CPU built equal.
Sent from my SGH-T999
I'm using Faux's kernel which had reduced voltage setting already.
I'm just curious.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
The best way to really tell woukd be to step the max freq. down by one or two and run it for a day or two. If it runs stable and you don't notice any issues you'll prob be good to go. My guess would be running between 1.2-1.3ghz would be a good spot.
I'm honestly not sure you'd see much difference in battery though since its probably running much slower than that most of the time its not sleeping anyway.
Plus I think I remember seeing somewhere that the power used to run at 1.5 is the same it uses to run at 1.3.
If your going to see improvement in battery its more likely you'll get that from voltage adjustments and your governor choice. You'd probably be best served by reading through the kernel thread to see what others have tried and reported.

Just like desktop hardware, voltage requirements and temperatures at different frequencies will vary device to device. No standard set of undervolting settings will work for every device.
What build would you recommend to achieve optimal battery life and low CPU temps? ROM / kernels / frequencies etc?

Cpu temps frequencies and voltage vary from device to device. There is no optimal build.
So do you have some before and after temps and battery stats so people can at least gauge if this is worth it?
Maybe I'm not wording it right. I understand each device may vary. I'm asking for the results of others who have undervolted their galaxay nexus. The Best results they received and what build it was? Even if it may change from device to device there is still a foundation to undervolting.

Honestly you should just try it and find out yourself. Your phone might not even be able to handle UV. I realize you just joined XDA today but a certain level of self-reliance is to be expected.

Well if you read my original post it shows the values at which my Gnex is both underclocked & undervolted , it can handle it. Self- reliance ? I'm not asking for your help or how to UV. Read the post it clearly asks what ones results were, per their specific build. values to a point can be mimicked. Many people have different results. Different builds yield different results.No disrespect intended .
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Self-reliance was probably poor word choice on my part. What I'm saying is that you can't use the experiences of others for things like this. It requires some experimentation on your part to find out what exactly works best for you. As long as you don't set a new UV setting at boot before you're sure of it's stability there's not really anything that can go wrong.
I understand where you are coming from. I have tried multiple stats ,builds etc. I may be new to the forums but not Linux os . The point of these forums is to get a world wide knowledge perspective. My intentions are to see the best results others have attained with an underclock/ undervolt build. Stats of interest. ROM , kernels , GPU , CPU , UV values and CPU temps .
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Trial and error is the only sure method to find your optimized minimum stable voltages. The differences in hardware have no correlation to build or manufacture date or anything.
Roms,kernels,CPU values , GPU values, all effect undervolting .

again, not to sound repetitive, but when it comes to voltages and undervolting, every device is different. some device could undervolt 50mV less then the default, some 100-200mV or more, and some cant undervolt at all. undervolting would be per device, there wont be an optimal number for all.
Here is my settings, use it almost two month and no SOD and freeze, pretty stable for me.
Franco r348 192-1228, Xylon v12
Advice: Do some research and try it in your phone, if it stable try lowering it 20-25mV if it freeze reset to your stable voltage. You need sometimes like half until 1 hour to do a research and have a list of your minimum stable voltage. But stable in one kernel doesnt mean it stable in another, cause i cant apply my settings in zen and AK kernel, i have to increase it like 5-10mV. Enjoy playing with voltages
This is one of my favorite part when getting a new phone.

Not cool man it's a legitimate question. Don't mind him op.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
what does the op want, a public UV/OC settings database, by roms, kernels, devices, hell, hardware revisions? The point being?
OP is asking about roms, kernels.... Why? Almost every kernel in here uses the same UV/OC implementation. While some can be different, a different rom or a different kernel won't change how much your device can handle, being it UV or OC. It's running on the SAME hardware!
Talking about comparing with other devices...like you say "ROM , kernels , GPU , CPU , UV values and CPU temps"... these all vary with DEVICE/USER/USAGE.
There's too much data and environment variables to measure UC/OC/UV savings, on a big scale, for something that's so dependent or influenced by something so small.
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.

What type of OC are you running?
Do you actually notice it day to day usage? I cant think of any apps that could benefit from it besides gaming which I do very little of on mobile.
How has it affected your battery life?

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!!
