Is it necessary to use setcpu on OC kernels? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There are plenty of oc kernels out there for us to choose. But almost all kernels freeze my SGS. The kernels are ya-ok, super optimized, jfs lagfix. I believe other kernels will give me same result
I proudly as a noob want to ask, how to use oc kernels properly? Do I need to install setcpu? If it's needed, what settings should I set?

overclocking question

I have the overcome ROM flashed on my tab and i was wondering if it is already overclocked due to the ext4 kernel or do i need a program to set the overclock speed like setcpu?
which kernal did you install? all of the OC voodoo kernals will say "OC" at the end of them.. its usually a good idea to get setcpu to control your processor anyways.
I have the ext4 kernel installed, I do have setcpu installed too.
The kernal will oc it by itself but using setcpu will allow you to customize your frequency.

[Q] Overlocking a SGS GT-I9000

Hello all
I just wanna know if there is any way to Overclock my processor
If there is.. i need the required kernel and programs please
PS: my device is Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000, 2.3.3, Gingerbread.jpjv6
Thx in Advance ( :
Search is your friend. Try looking in the development section yourself.
Thx, i found a question similar to mine

I am pretty much sure you need to be rooted for overclock. Are you?
lots of kernels which allow for OC. Several programs that allow you to monitor and set OC available on the market, most have a free version that you can try and then buy the pro version once you have made a choice. Some kernels allow for more user control and variance, others are more prescribed -- a lot of it is personal preference and so much is phone dependent: no 2 phones are the same in terms of what OC or UV settings they will sustain.
Lastly, most kernels will have their own group of users and advocates. Some have experimented extensively with alternate kernels, some less so, but all will have a passion for the kernel that is their personal preference. There really is no substitute for your own trial and error. Download 3 or 4 and try them with a stock rom -- root and use sgs kernel flasher -- flash a custom kernel, set your OC and use it for a day. Flash another, repeat the process and continue until you find your preference.
Having found the kernel you like best, then set about flashing a custom rom that plays nice with your chosen kernel.
Take about a week but at the end you will know what you like best and why.
Between flashes, clean cache and davlik cache -- keep a good backup of apps on your pc or external sd, and even better, completely cleanse the phone between kernels -- that will standardize things and allow each kernel to operate on a clean system.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes i am, and i used a lagfix "if that make difference".
Sorry i know i'm noob but i'm afraid to flash into a kernael which is not oc-able :S
So do i have to know any precautions first? or the CWM is enough to restore the original kernel?
its quite easy my friend download semaphore kernel 1.8.0 and flash it via odin or recovery and after flashing just go to semaphore script manager change ur overclock values.......too simple
And then use apps such Voltage Control (in the market) to select speed & voltage of the processor.
Thx all i appreciate all your help
and for guys having the same issue here's the topic that helped me alot..:

and i don't recommend OC the processor, "SpeedMod" kernel made me satisfied.

[Q] overclock

i have gone back to my stock rom (jvo for stability) is there any way which i can overclock this rom , i was running ics at 1.4 ghz is there away for that overclock on stock
as far as I know, there is no possibility to overclock if you want to keep the stock kernel... however, you may use a different kernel (such as Midnight 0.9.0 or Semaphore 2.5.0). They come with an own settings-application which lets you overclock at least to 1200Mhz...
On a different but not unrelated topic, you may want to flash JW1 or JVT if you go for stability, they are more stable than JVO.
And I can say, JW1 in combination with Midnight kernel works pretty good, battery life is awesome and you can overclock (if you want to, that is)
got any software for overclock?
i am newbie...
If you will root your phone, you can use the app "tegrak overclock".
its free in the play store.

[Q] Undervolting on stock rom

Hi I'd like to clarify something.
I've used CF autoroot to get root access, which means I have stock ROM on. I've read elsewhere that in order to undervolt, you need to have a kernel that supports it. The stock ROM/kernel doesn't support undervolting right?
So if I want to undervolt, I must have a different kernel?
yes
Perseus Kernel allows you to undervolt
perseus like stock kernel !
What settings do i have to configure inorder to make cpu scaling less ( sampling and more specifically cpu freq changing )
.. and make it behave more like stock kernel ? ... i only need undervolt! and rest same as samsung defaults !

Question are there any custom kernel?

are there any custom kernel? i cant overclock CPU/GPU because kernel managers don`t work
