gs3 overclock app

[randizzard]

Ok so I'm rooted running stock 4.1.2 and previously purchased android overclock with my last droid. I was curious to hear opinions on whether or not this app was good for the gs3 or if there was something better out there. Any advice or info would be awesome. I haven't tried the ac app yet because a lot of reviews for it are saying the gs3 wasn't really a good phone for that app.

Thoughts?

What was your last phone?

The last android I owned was the thunder bolt and after that terrible experience I went to iPhone. Now I've come back and I'm glad I did.

U can try fauxclock and his kernels are great too

 

[randizzard]

Awesome I'll give it a try and see what happens, does it have low voltage? Want to try and improve battery life at the same time

Here is his kernel, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074329

Can this be installed without wiping device?

 

[randizzard]

Yes it can, just installed last night and I'm using setcpu app from the app store and it runs amazingly fast. Just flash the zip from cwm recovery after you wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.

Ok so I've installed his kernel and his app, trying to figure a good low voltage high speed set up, any ideas or thoughts?

 

[WillisD]

Really it's up to the phone, start at -25 and work your way up to maybe if your phone can do it -75. Mine can't go that low

 

[randizzard]

Ok I've been trying multiple voltages and it seems to stay off ok but after a day or so I get freezes and crashes.

 

[WillisD]

Freezing and crashing means you need to up your voltage

 

[randizzard]

I figured that so I left the voltage alone, set a profile for"standby" under clocked to max of 1.0ghz and -25mv. This is actually fantastic four my battery. In use profile is max 1.8, min 1.0 @ +12.5mv and is smooth. Quadrant spotted me @ 6917 on the chart. Short bench mark said 81 ms so I think I figured it out. Thanks for your help Willis

 

[WillisD]

Your in use profile shouldn't need to be +12.5, should be 0

Ok I'll switch it
