Tips on overclocking? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Want to overclock my note 2 to boost performance and speed (especially to lessen the lock screen lag). I am using the omega rom and wanted to know if there are any recommended settings I can use. Thanks!

Have you tried reducing the animation in the developer option? Overclocking is not recommended if you only want to reduce lock screen lag. Try changing the animation to ×0.5 that should help

Well I basically wanted to up the performance of my note and see the results of overclocking it. Thanks for the tip though!

Try cm 10.1 and redpill kernel if u want to test how beast device is with oc my device managed to score +5200 points in 3dmark with 1,8 ghz cpu/800mhz gpu, it just needs huge undervolt to get temperature stay in control.

Best tip?
Don't.
on a quad core @1.6 GHz I suggest to underclock.

Wanted to actually keep the touchwiz based rom (omega) so I can still use the spen features, do you happen to know any other ROMS that are touchwiz based & have settings to overclocking?

Your Best option for over clocking try this kernel
2 GHZ....

But overclocking alone won't get your phone any faster...
try freezing unnecessary apps etc.,

What app does everyone recommend for the s3, voltage control doesn't seem like it'll work very good but want to know what everyone else is using.

I've heard good things about setcpu but voltage control works really well for me, though i don't really mess with voltage settings. The clock throttling works great.
OK I'm using VC and also have used setcpu but wasn't sure if there was one that's best used with the s3. Thanks for your responses

It's awesome.
I've been having issues that the Max freq goes up to 1.8 if I have set at 1.5 on its own.

Lots of choices and I get phenomenal battery (25hrs moderate use is phenomenal for me at least) and great performance. Underclocked to 1080mhz and under volted. She's smooth as silk without lag or stutters.
Hope this helps you. But next time more help can be given if you specify what Rom, kernel, and settings you're supporting on your s3. Just a tip.

Ya the kernel recommended above will get u to 2.1ghz altho i recommend AGAT's kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956392 if youre using touchwiz. It only OC's to 1.89 but the benchmarks are damn impressive. Only time i ever got quadrant benchmark to hit 7000+ on a test.

Anything but a tmo base rom will show a h instead because tmo doesn't have real 4g lte and that's what the 4g stands for....the h is tmo 4g...

It always shows "3g "when idle. As soon as you need it, the 4g radio kicks on. Power conservation I think. I was freaked out at first also, but it works great. And battery life on cm10 with hotcakes kernel is fantastic.

Dude...that is a good antutu score. Best I got @1.7 was and GPU script was 8600. What tweaks and kernel are you running? What governors?
I'm also running v6 script and I never got close to that score.
Nicely done.

Low cpu integer in antutu benchmark test

When ever I run antutu benchmark test it gives me a low cpu integet score 3800 and when I compare it to their note 2 their cpu integer in 4900. How is that? Im on omega rom and persus kernel.

Try Disabling the Power Save mode & also check performance kernel governor while running a benchmark!

Try setting the governor to Performance instead.

Well it's better to choose performance governor while running benchmarks.

[Help] I guess I wrecked my cpu.

If someone could help me here would be great on all benchmark tests im getting very low cpu score though I overclocked to 1.8ghz and no powee saver mode on. Omega rom persus kernel I overclocked with stweaks. Did I damage my cpu? How to know for sure please if someone can provide an answer or way to test cpu for sure would be great. I get 13000 antutu, 6500 quadrany, 1800 geekbench 2.
Im really sad and I have exams and cant really concentrate with the feeling I wrecked my phone

Set your stweak/kernel config to default then download and run an app called Stability Test from play store. Run this app for 10minutes and see if you get any errors. Its unlikely if your phone is operating normal with regular usage. I would normally suggest reflashing the ROM and check benchmark with everything stock but since you don't have time the method above should do.

I will try what u said. If i get time will flash stock and see. 1.8ghz and scored 13k
Some phones simply to not react well to being overclocked. Mine puts down smaller numbers as the frequency goes up.

Simple explanation is every chip is different.
Also check what CPU governor you are using. For example i get 19700 score whit devil governor and 11000 with zzmoove

Why are you relying on benchmarks? Benchmark scores are complete garbage. If your device runs apps and games fine, it's also fine.
Try UV your cpu, mine starts throttle with 1.8ghz with "default" voltages because temperature gets too high.

Pardon me to say but Perseus Kernel is the culprit.
My friend Note II(T-889) scores down to 6500 on Antutu and Mine(N7100) went down to 13000 when we both are using Perseus.
Switched to Neak because of Audio controls.

The default was 1400mv I undervolt it to 13mv didnt go lower, I once went 1200mv and it went into boot loop was stupid move from me. I guess there are somethings to with hotplug and up/down threshold?

So u think the faulting comes from persus kernel? Im now on stock kernel.
Btw persus has some audio controls too.

I easily get 18000+ with Perseus kernel on Antutu. You cant simply make an assumption like that when others get good scores with Perseus kernel. It really is one of the best out there. Recheck your configs.
