Root Over clocked to 1.6Ghz (precautions to take)

[crowruin]

The Spec for the phone is 1ghz but in setCPU it says 1.6ghz? im

EDIT: well it looks like it really does work ran quadrant standard
and i got a score of 3165 was OCed to 1.6ghz while running the bench mark

BUT you have to be VERY careful when OCed at 1.6ghz always take caution when doing things like these to youre android i already read a bunch of guides and watched a lot of video so i know im doing when I OC

right now im at a perfectly stable 1.2ghz sometimes i turn it up to 1.4-1.6ghz but only when im running games or high demanding applications

by the way im using Krizes KROM V5 BETA it comes with a custom kernel thats how i was able to OC (overclock)

I recommend watching these 2 video to understand OC

also this one its outdated by it should give you a good start to OCing

If you are using a custom kernel (or one of the roms here whichcontain a custom kernel) then yes, you are overclocked to 1.6ghz

And from the looks of it you're using krom, correct?


From the a kernel thread

Alright guys and gals. First JB build:

I finally played with the voltages and lowered them. It's running nice and stable and maybe even cooler. All IO Schedulers and CPU gov's are there and I went up to 1.6 GHZ on this one.

Built with the latest Linaro GCC 2013.05- 4.7.4 tool-chain with optimization's for our chip.

Yes I'm using krom V5 but I never installed a custom kernel

Yes I'm using krom V5 but I never installed a custom kernel

It comes with the ROM

Just wanted to confirm it further so I can
