I have successfully overclocked the new Samsung Galaxy S II to 1.504GHz. This speed is enough to allow it to achieve really high benchmark scores like over 4000 points in Quadrant! 1.5GHz is a 25% overclock and makes this fast phone even faster and snappier in day to day usage.
Instructions:
1. You'll need the latest version of odin3 and the USB drivers for Windows. jutley's post on debranding the phone has links to both: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894
2. Grab the kernel. It is a tar file for odin with the overclocked kernel and a initramfs with proper modules for the kernel: http://setcpu.com/files/galaxysii_oc_v1.tar
3. Reboot the phone into download mode using ADB:
adb reboot download
4. Flash the kernel using odin3 by placing the tar file in the PDA section and pressing "Start."
5. The phone will reboot automatically.
6. Use SuperOneClick to root your phone if you haven't already. ADB should have root access with this kernel so it'll just work.
7. Grab SetCPU and try 1.504GHz.
Source code (with relevant commit for the overclock. I also enabled the interactive governor in the config): https://github.com/coolbho3k/galaxysii_oc
I haven't gone crazy on the voltages - 1.504GHz is stable at 1375mV on my device. Depending on your device, there may be even more headroom. I've gotten speeds of up to 2GHz to boot with instability (my unstable 1.8GHz Linpack run is currently in the Linpack top 10), but at very high voltages and temperatures. Leave it up to other developers to give you higher/more dangerous frequencies and voltages. If you stress the CPU a ton the phone will become hot to touch (though it does to a certain extent even at stock frequencies - there is not much thermal insulation between the processor and your hands in such a thin phone).
Current features in this kernel: Added 1.504GHz overclocking step (default frequency is still 1.2GHz for safety - use SetCPU to safely raise the frequency) and relevant modifications, 800MHz sleep death fix, interactive governor, ro.secure = 0.
The usual disclaimers apply here. Only do this if you know what you're doing. Though the long term stability/reliability of similar overclocks on other Android based ARM devices is known, this software is provided with no warranty, and I can't be held responsible if you fry your device.

...breaks over 4000 points in Quadrant:
...and almost 60 MFLOPS in Linpack:
Since Linpack and Quadrant aren't (sufficiently?) multithreaded, you won't see that much improvement over single core Cortex A8 devices at the same clock. But these are dual core phones!
Developers: keep in mind that the Galaxy S II source currently "fixes" voltages on this revision of the Exynos to be 25mV less than what is in the table. Upon boot, the driver will actually print the real voltages at each level (look for ASV voltage_table in the kernel log) if you don't know which chipset revision a particular phone has. The overclock itself is controlled in the s5pv310_apll_pms_table.
Enjoy!
Damn .........
This is when I really wish I had a SGS2. Can't wait till it comes to American shores, great work coolbho, see you on Engadget tomorrow..
OMG already? I was wondering when this would happen. God bless you man.
Wonderful work man. Can't get Odin to download on my home rig so I'll be playing around w/ this tomorrow at the office With overclocking already here and the inevitable kernel optimizations to come, this phone is truly going to be the beast everyone suspects.
Thanks man!
..and what about undervolting?
WOW, nice work
Thanks!
Holy crap, nice work! How much hotter is it getting in the back of the phone at 1.5ghz?

Very impressive indeed. The only question that comes to mind is if there really is a need to squeeze out higher frequencies. The CPU isn't really a bottleneck on the SGS2, is it?

CPU is always a bottleneck for calculations. Probably not a bottleneck in most apps though.
My install went smoothly. Quadrant showed 4144, 3892, and then 4100. Im going to try running it throughout today and see what happens. Cant wait for this to mature.

Disclaimer
As I HAVE NOT tested Uruk 0.2 I can't verify it's compatibility!
As I have not tested this on other CPU's I can not guarantee stability!
I will try to help you as much as I can if anything goes wrong, but I can't promise a fix.

Features
5 slots {300MHz, 600MHz, 1000MHz, 1250MHz, 1330MHz}
300MHz, 600MHz, 1000MHz undervolted
1250MHz at the voltage 1000MHz was working on
1330MHz at the voltage that was said to be a very safe voltage for this cpu (droid x users have been using voltages 0.1V+ higher!)
EXT4 support and therefore support for Uruk 0.1 (and I suppose Uruk 0.2? need confirmation on that since I'm using a modified Uruk 0.1)
Usage
To use this kernel please set your SetCPU at 300-1330 (1250 if 1330 appears to be unstable for you)
The Archos stock video player seems to override SetCPU settings when using the 5th slot as the lowest cpu frequency.
The Archos stock video player will not play video when started with the frequency above the 4th slot (I think, I'm quite sure of that) it will then override the DSP frequency which will not suffice for video decoding (also speculation). I fix this by running a SetCPU 300-1330 with an ondemand governor (which seems to me, the most useful governor anyway)

This score was gained with a 1330MHz performance governor. (this is stable for me in games and other apps, only problem is the Archos media player)
Risk
This has been undervolted, overclocked and tested on MY device!
Each CPU made, although the same model is unique. There is a possibility that these clocks are far to unstable to use on your device, so please!
This may harm you CPU AND/OR BATTERY use at your own risk!
Post your results! Describe crashes as accurate as possible if there are any.
I can then release a second version that's more stable for everyone's device.
Thanks for your instructions.
Actually, I do the same as yours in my kernel except that I keep stock voltage when using 1100Mhz
{S1100M, VDD1_OPP5, 0x3c, 0x0, 0x0},
At least, we have proved that we are modifying the same file

I think it should be stable at stock, the DSP is just being a ***** lol.
Have you guys identified the max voltages for these components? I would not want to have a device damaged due to overvolting. I do understand there is a risk but go over the max is typically not acceptable to any over clocking.
One other thing how are you validating stability? In otherwords what program are you using to induce load?

I'm testing stability now by running the programs that gave problems with the previous overclocking attempts, Angry Birds, stock Movie player(this one is the real *****), Linpack, Quadrant and SetCPU 'stress' test
I have not yet identified the maximum voltage as I can't seem to find a datasheet that says anything about this, I've been slowly up to 1.4V volts now to see if how warm it gets etc.
Stable 1250MHz is done, now incrementing in steps of 10MHz, I'll have a kernel release soon with undervolted and overclock slots.
UPDATE: http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/wiki/KernelModule
They seem to use very high voltages O.O they say the maximum vsel is 96 as well
my 1250MHz clock is stable at vsel 64, I'm faiiiirly sure we have the same OMAP3630_1000's in our devices?
Im curious how did you overcome the DSP issue?
I still haven't really sorted the DSP issue with the Archos media player, a work-around is using a governor that allows a frequency below the last slot, I THINK
It's all speculation but it seems to work, when I have the 1250MHz as the 5th slot with my frequency on 1250MHz videos do not play. Using the same settings with the 1250MHz parameters on the 4th slot it does, the media player seems to be a very weird thing.
How is the battery performance?
I'll try this with Uruk 0.2, and let you know how it goes after some use!
Edit: After running quadrant, there doesn't seem to be any difference in score (1658)
But it is running smoothly with no noticable bugs at the moment.
Thanks Tzbob.
Can you tell us the frequency to voltage settings that you have changed? Let us find out together the max. stable frequency of archos CPU

After doing some reading on Droid forums it seems that each CPU behaves very differently, but they also succeeded in huge undervolts and OCs of 1.3GHz.
The N900, although an older version of this cpu sports an overclock on both CPU and DSP so perhaps that's something we could do? Also GPU OC is still something that could be considered but for now, this will have to do^^

The undervolted options are added into this kernel, by using it you will be using an undervolted cpu.
If you strictly want to use undervolted cpu options and refrain from any overclocks please use SetCPU from 300-1000MHz.

It's dangerous to overclock anything, yet it's such a common thing to do.
yes !
mark in red this option !
but thank you fot that
Please would it be posoble to make only 300,1000,1250,1333 undervolted version? I mean specially without 600 mhz, because i think that it makes archos less fluent.. comparing to only 300/1000 original urukdroid version. Or maybe changing 600 to 800?
I'm working with sauron now to add functionality to the official Uruk kernel. We'll add more testing to it than I did with this kernel to assure good performance.
I won't bring out any more kernels as I hit the limit on this one, 1330MHz is the maximum I could get (without getting really dangerous). It's also overkill and purely for benching high scores
Hey guys,
Ok the people who know about SetCpu and undevolting with it...
If I key in UV-values that go further than the slide-bar can take, i.e over -500mV,
does the undervolting actually go under the -500mV??
At the moment I've tried:
216mhz at -725mV [No hang when I run max and min cpu frequency at both 216Mhz]
456mhz at -650mV [No hang when I run max and min cpu frequency at both 456Mhz]
EDIT: I also ran the stress tests at said frequency settings and still no cpu hang or reboot.
I want to see if this goes further, but Im not sure if SetCpu is actually making the UV values go over -500mV.....
Cheers guys

any jump more than 100mV between steps and it wont do the changes
The 100mV steps are the limiting factor if you use the higher frequencies which require relatively high voltage not to cause problems. What the OP might be curious about, and what I'm curious about is if I limit my phone to say 600MHz then I can set the voltage of all higher frequencies as low as I want because the phone will never use those frequencies, then I can try to find the true lower bound of the lower frequencies. The problem is I can set the lowest frequency to 0, keeping the 100mv steps, and the phone still runs fine (by limiting my phone to 216MHz), so there is some other rule in effect besides the 100mv between steps rule.
This is something that is limited by the chip itself but I guess that these rules would have to be written in the kernel, so I'm going to post over in the faux kernel thread.
Edit:
I don't have enough posts to post in the developer forum. Can someone copy the jist of my question over in the faux thread or somewhere else appropriate and with marginally high traffic? Thanks.
I have been thinking about undervolting as well and I was wondering if really does make that big of a difference like some people say? Do you really notice that it improves your batter life?

Click to expand...

The benefits of undervolting are lower power which leads to lower heat and longer battery life. I'm not sure if these power savings translate if the cpu is idle or in some type of sleep mode and the other problem is that all the other components are still using the same amount of power so the real savings might not be much if your phone is mostly idle.
But, my phone idles at 216Mhz and I have almost halved that voltage at that level so the best case scenario is that the cpu is using 1/4 the power it would normally.
I haven't done any testing but I do know there is some savings and we're all here cause we like to tweak things so you might as well undervolt cause it's pretty simple.
I would start with these levels:
1000 - 950mV
912 - 900
750 - 800
608 - 700
456 - 600
312 - 500
216 - 400
The only rule I know for undervolting is the 100mV between steps rule but I know there is some other rule at play as described in my previous post, but I don't know what it is. So really, I'm not sure if the voltages at the lower frequencies are actually being applied.
Hey thanks for the info. I don't know if I'm doing this correctly. After I undervolted, I clicked "set on boot" and rebooted my phone but I'm not sure if I did it right. For example, when you look at the "1000mhz", on the right it says "Max 1000mV" which is the default setting but shouldn't it be "925mV" because I subtracted -75mv? Look at this pic and tell me if it's like it should be.

Ya, that's right. That max voltage I think is a misnomer I think it should say default voltage really and that's just there for reference. So, when your cpu is operating at 1000Mhz it is operating at 925mV, with your current setting, it doesn't vary.
If you want to try to push for lower voltages you just want to uncheck set on boot so you avoid getting into a reboot cycle. YMMV on what kind of undervolt will be stable. I gave you my numbers because I think my phone is not as stable as others since it can't handle the 1.45Ghz overclocking kernel.
My phone isn't overclocked btw and I'm using Faux123's enhanced stock kernel 1.0ghz. I will try to push the volts even lower and see how that goes. One thing that I can say for sure is that when I play GTAIII, my phone doesn't overheat as much as it used to so this defiantly fixed the overheating issue that I was having with almost any game.

What I gathered from my own experience, experimenting and looking at code is the following:
The 100 mv limit between steps seems to be more of a nvidia guideline for best chip performance. It is not an actual limit in the software, no matter the values you input, they will be applied.
What is indeed limited (and so in the code) is the lowest possible undervolt. In faux's it is 750 mv and clemsyn's (was, not sure if still is) 650 mv.
If you push any voltage past that limit, it won't be applied. Try it for yourself.
This is my first kernel build ever (not just for the Nexus 7). Just a starting point for more hacking on the Nexus 7.
Flashable zip package attached.
It should go without saying that anything you do with this package you do at your own risk.
Features
Insecure
init.d support
Overclocked to 1.5GHz
Voltage tweaks at OC clocks
BFQ scheduler
smartassv2 governor
lagfree governor
Made kernel version not suck
Notes
You should root and install busybox into /system/xbin before flashing this kernel. Don't flash this if you don't know what you're doing as I'm too lazy to include n00b instructions.

Exactly right. I actually never really liked smartassv2 in general, but I think it is working out fairly well on the N7, actually.
This is after just a little bit of game time, some regular usage, and some sleep time. I may need to tweak some of the higher clock values so it scales up a bit more gracefully. At any rate, there will be plenty of options to play around with.

So whats the heat production and stability like at 1.5ghz? When you say 1.5ghz, is that like the htc one x where it is actually 1.4ghz but you can go to 1.5ghz when only using one core, or is it all four cores clocked at 1.5 please? Got to admit that a gpu OC would be really nice. This looks great, thanks
any chance of getting some gpu over clocks in then kernal, screw battery life give me mmmhhhzzz!
Is it possible to get scary gov on this? I think it's based on smartassv1 but not really sure. It gives me a good balance between performace and battery. Or perhaps we could make a scaryV2 lol?
Great work for a first Kernel
Is the extra battery drain worth that .2ghz of extra horsepower? Because i've heard it's a perfectly capable device @ 1.3ghz.

Thanks. Naturally, it's a matter of personal preference of course if it is "worth" it to OC any processor. OC'ing the N7 was more of a "because I can" thing than for any practical reason. The CPU is impressive as is.
The N7 is probably the fastest and most responsive mobile device I've ever seen even at stock, mostly thanks to the hardware but also due to Jelly Bean's ability to leverage this kind of raw power.
The actual battery drain between 1.3GHz -> 1.5GHz will all depend on how much time you spend at those higher clock speeds, of course.

Thanks. But DDR3-667 as in tf300 or DDR-1600 as in Tf700 or something else
I thought about putting this in QA but thought the dev might know. Sorry if that was a bad call

Whops I meant general not Q&A
Hynix HTC2G83CFR DDR3 RAM
Hope that helps

Smartass V2 doesn't support scaling upto 4 cores
Its useless for this device!
Whatever Flo
What is it: Stock android kernel, JSS15J, absolutely no changes besides the overclock. No fancy features, no snake oil, no bloat, clean stock experience.
Overclock not customisable, baked right into the kernel and loaded on boot, no CPU/GPU management apps needed.
I take no responsibility or imply any warranty for the use of this kernel, use of this kernel is completely at your own risk.
If a build doesn't work for you try the lower clocked version, still not then you're out of luck and your CPU can't handle the overclock sorry. If there is enough demand I can build a lower clocked edition but I don't really see the need. Any problems or questions I will try to answer for you.

- Added GPU OC option

- Added CPU Overclock builds
Very nice. Do you intend to add GPU OC as well? I think with this kernal with GPU OC it would play nicer with Clean ROM than the current Kernels. Just my opinion but Jassy kernel doesn't seem to like CR as much as Cm 10.2 so I would really like to see what stock with extra OC's does for that very nice Rom .

Yes I am planing on it, doing some stability and performance tests right now. Will release it when I finish that.

You are awesome. This is what I've always wanted in a kernel.
CPU, GPU OC and voltage control.
Thanks!
New builds up, now include GPU overclock.
Great kernel, no issues on stock ROM whatsoever. Seems like GPU scores went down a tad though, with no oc and oc versions of the 1.7ghz, looks like it went down 1k pts on 3d score in antutu.
Maybe add a little higher oc on the GPU to test out with the 1.7ghz version?
Could you confirm with me, I have the 1.7+GPU oc version and my 3d graphics score seems to be lower, I was around 7k for stock clocks.

Thanks for the heads up, I haven't tried using antutu for my benchmarking and I ran most of my testing on the 1.8 build since I just assumed dropping the clocks down wouldn't make much of a difference. I'll look into it.
Any Chance of a JSS15Q Version?

Yeah that would be peachy if JSS15Q based. I was on jassy's earlier (with JSS15J) and the GPU boost was noticeable, but back on stock to fix the multitouch.
hey .
i tested the 1,7ghz+450mhz gpu kernel and its running fine .
But it would be so cool if u could make one more kernel with just GPU overclock because i think the CPU power of the n7 is fine with 1.5ghz .
but the 50mhz more in GPU frequency will be more noticable .
i hope its not to much work for you... otherwise i will be fine with running the 1,7ghz edition.
thanks
I really liked this kernel, but when I flashed it after the latest cm 10-18 nightly, it caused a corrupt display upon booting. Fortunately I had made a nandroid backup a few weeks earlier so I was able to get it working again after restoring the system partition. I'm afraid to try flashing this again..
Share your benchmark scores with xda - Antutu / GFXBench / Vellamo Metal / Basemark OS II
Stock Rom or not will be greatly appreciated. See attached vs. other current Verizon Android Phones.

This was stock ROM, reflashed via TOT about a month after I had the phone. Rooted, all LG/Verizon disableable stuff disabled in App Manager (before rooting).
Ok so I just got done setting up Vanir AOSP 4.4.4 ROM with all my apps. I haven't customized anything other than various appearance settings - I didn't mess with SetCPU, schedulers, DPI, etc. This was just me installing all my apps and setting up the notifications etc. the way I like them. This is my first run at an AOSP ROM on the G3. Here are the results.
(NOTE: I downloaded and ran all the same benchmarks as in the list above, with a reboot between each benchmark run. I have annotated the order in which I ran the benchmarks after their respective titles.)
Antutu (first):
Vellamo Metal (fourth):
Basemark OS II (second):
GFX Bench (third):
(NOTE: The phone was scorching hot at the end of this run; throttling might explain the lower scores?)
My phone with bloat turned off and running with the interactive governor and a hack to make throttling less aggressive.

Dawn what is this hack you speak of?
Modifying thermal-engine-8974.conf to prevent throttling in an aggressive manner. There is a thread somewhere about it. I hacked it up self based on what I want my phone to do. As you can see from my previous post Antutu performance is right up there with the other flagships. The big reason why it still lags behind the S5 is 3d performance. Anyway I'm happy now that it doesn't throttle and I still get a days use.

How'd you change governors if you are on the stock kernel?
Nothing in the stock kernel prevents it. I use ROM Toolbox (pro version) and you can tweak a bunch of performance parameters. LG doesn't lock the kernel down except for maximum clock speed. So you can't over clock but you can run a max 100% of the time. You will eventually hit thermal throttle, but you can do it.

I did a lot of work tweaking the kernel, i/o scheduler and throttling response
Here is one using the latest Vanir Commotio Lollipop

Do you mind posting details about how you have things setup?

WOuld, but I am on a different setup now...
I set the governor to Interactive, read ahead buffer to 4096, cfq scheduler, Vegas Tcp Conjestion Control, max frequency 2457 minimum 300
I fine tuned the governor as well, but cant remember the settings, sorry
I am on Jasmine 4.0 running the latest Skydragon kernel. The trickster mod setup is the second pic- TCP setting is clipped off the top, its Westwood.
Broke 42k today with CM12 12/12.
In case anyone is wondering, using trickster mod the best governor is performance, not interactive, when it come to benchmarks specifically. Interactive is better for general use but performance will just always give you the optimal performance (get it) in a benchmark.
i did a benchmark with stock lil debloat and skydragon kernel , im no tech so i dont know much about these readings . im planing of switching to liquidsmooth rom

You're just gonna have to trust me that I hit 42k xD didn't screenshot it.
I actually hit 40k with stock ROM by turning on performance governor, so it definitely helps with benchmarking.
