Hello Fellow XDA members,
I have the Galaxy S3 T-999, and I flashed AOKP Milestone (4.2.2) and I am wondering what kind of kernel this comes with. Can I overclock? When I open any set cpu type application, it does not let me go past the 1.51 gigahertz mark. What can I do to properly overclock? Do I have to replace my rom all together?
Thank You,
Noob A.K.A. oyoyo12
Need different kernel.
Overclocking unnecessary, advise against it.
Yes, a kernel that supports OC is needed. Faux's kernel is a great one at least for me. For managing the frequencies, setCpu is a good choice, although its a paid app, its very simple to use. A free app that packs a lot of features is Trickster Mod. On another note, you can flash kernels on top of ROMs no need to wipe data or system, just caches just in case.

In case fauxs kernel don't work with your phone which is weird but NOT ALL PHONES ARE CREATED EQUAL so it might work for you or not and also if it does t then download ktoones kernel.. It will let u OC your phone to 2100 Ghz

Well, I have been trying to use Tegrak since they said it was updated for this phone. I kept getting error messages but I think they did another update. You can overclock to 1.452. Anything above and you need the paid version. I am on the stock kernel now. If this is already known, I apologize. I haven't seen it mentioned. I can imagine what 1.6 would look like. Time to push it up a bit..
Stock kernel at 1.452..

What voltages are you using? I have no problems at 1.56 at 1.375V. I didn't touch internal voltage. I haven't tried to go any higher. I was basically just playing around with it for a few minutes.

yup. Although this thing is such a beast I dont see a need to OC it, UV to save battery, yes I actually have mine underclocked to 1.1ghz and undervolted -50 across the board and I notice no dip in performance so far, this thing is still buttery smooth and fast

to chime in, I know most kernels with UV built in usually do -50, so if you did a -50 across the board you should be ok. Some speeds you can get away with more but if you UV too much it will lock up. I think the higher speeds you can actually UV a **little** more than -50, maybe -75 but it really depends on your chip
I really wonder how they do this on the stock kernel. It's the first I've seen that will allow you to OC/UV without a custom kernel..
Oh and OP: I think you should add more to the thread title.. like "Tegrak - Overclock/Undervolt on stock kernel!!!" I think it would get a lot more hits

Yeah, underclocking can help on the already great battery life and if you are a speed demon, this app does that as well. I usually just test to see if I got a strong phone or not.

+1 I can go 1.564 at 1375 fine
Has anyone else tried? What are your thoughts so far? I've underclocked to 1.1 and UV -75 across the board. Havent been able to see if it makes a difference in battery life yet or not.

hehe like I said in on of the other posts. If you change the thread title I'm sure it will get a lot more hits. If people see "Tegrak: Overclock/Undervolt stock kernel" They would click faster than if they just see "Tegrak" just a suggestion though
root?
I apologize in advanced if this has commented anywhere else.
My guess is this requires root, and that the comments about stock kernel are in regards to root + stock kernel.
Just to keep the doubts out, does this require root?
Again, I apologize if this is said in advanced. Probably checking the app reqs would answer this question. Just commenting it as it may prove useful for me and for others as well.

I would LOVE to give this Tegrak thingy a try but I am somewhat confused on what needs to be downloaded and installed.
I am currently on the following:
ROM = midNIGHT 2.0
Kernel = Bubby's [ACS][KERNEL] CWM 5.0.2.3 with sd/internal storage mounted
Mods = Crawrj's AIO mod
Now, when I search for Tegrak on the market, I get the following:
Tegrak Kernel - Free
Tegrak Overclock - Free
Tegrak Overclock Ultimate - $2.34
Tegrak Kernel Donation - $3.73
Which files do I need to download and install? Is it an app? Do I need to flash anything via Odin/CWM?
The apps on the Market really don't say much as to how to properly go about installing this.
I just need to know what I need to do so I can overclock and mess around with the voltages. Thanks in advance.

To mess with the voltages you need the paid version. I have Tegrak Overclock Ultimate. you dont need to flash anything but it says it wont work with a custom kernel, only the stock kernel.

Hey Zedomax.. I need a video on how to wipe my ass. I figured you would have one since you have a video for everything else.
@zedomax, I installed Tegrak Overclock and after installing and giving it root privileges, I get a "Failed to run insmod!" error everytime I try to load the overclock module. I guess midNIGHT ROM is not compatible with Tegrak? I will be forced to flash a stock, rooted ROM like the one supplied by crawrj with his Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root/Busybox 1.18.4 ROM?
tegra appk actually is not working on epic 4g touch
can u post any apk. thannks

Hi everyone! I've got a dinc 2 rooted with stock rom, I was wondering what the best kernel was for controlling the cpu, I want to get better battery life and i'm not sure how.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA
any kernel will do, its more about the gov's in the kernels themselves. Choose a kernel and just select the "Powersave" governor.
Excellent thanks!

No problem!
I'm running aeroevan's v10.5. It's supposed to be for his ICS ROM, but it works nicely on CM7.2, too.
The stock CM7.2 kernel doesn't allow undervolting.
I haven't played with any Sense ROMs. I prefer vanilla Android.
-CM7 on DInc2
Can anyone recommend a decent kernel to run with BlackIce .40?
I tried the stock kernel and Trinity kernel and while both ran decent the battery life wasn't as good as I expected...
I'm guessing I'll probably try Franco Kernel next.
Also, since this ROM allows for kernel settings should I use SetCPU anyway? I like setting the profiles in SetCPU and the ROM, whicl it does have kernel settings, it doesn't allow profiles to be set...
all help/opinions/recommendations are appreciated.
Samurai Kernel is the best. For the sprint nexus I'm assuming that's what you have dunno if black ice is for other variants. Anyways yeah
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730544
Find the part where it says flashable kernels and download which ever gpu frequency suits you. 512 is butter.
Also use voltage control or the built in rom control for cpu and voltage. Using profiles is useless let the kernel does its job and control the cpu like it's going to.
Another plus is you don't have to use a kernel app.... It has built in support for color control in the rom.

That was probably an older version these ones are very new and work great give it another try. And the boot animation stuck because it gets placed in /data/local.

i'll give it a try and see how it goes...any voltage recommendations or should I leave them the way they are when I flash the kernel?

The ones on there are all right. But I lower mine a little bit more. Just try the stock ones first. Also if 512 bootloops try the 384.

So the other day I installed an unofficial version of cm9 on my Evo. As many of you know, cm comes with options to over clock out of the box. Sadly, with the stock kernel you can only go so far. I found a new kernel online, and flashed it onto my phone, only to find out it ruined the rom, forcing me to reflash cm9. I was wondering if there are any kernels that I can install to overclock my phone further? Pics included

atyoung's Mason ICS kernel should work...
May I ask why you have the desire to.overclock so violently? Most the time, underclocking will even show no loss In performance and save battery. All times I have overclocked, I've never noticed a major difference.. it may be slight but not enough for me to care..
why is your min/max the same?
The rom I downloaded is a little laggy, just wishing to speed things up a bit.

One more thing.. pegging your CPU at max ghz will eventually destroy your device. The EVO is made with a single core 1 GHz snapdragon and so anything really over 1GHz will really put a strain on your processor. Best advice would be to either flash a new kernel, ROM, or find some tweaks to decrease lag. 1.2GHz isn't healthy for your phone...
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.

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.

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.
