HOW TO OVERCLOCK YOUR ANDROID PHONE

HA, A PERFECT PIC FOR OVERCLOCKING!

OKAY GUYS, LET'S OVERCLOCK OUR PHONES.
AT TIMES, MAYBE YOU SOMETIMES THINK THAT YOUR PHONE'S HELL SLOW.
WELL, INCREASING THE CPU FREQUENCY, BETTER KNOWN AS OVERCLOCKING IS THE RIGHT CURE FOR YOUR PHONE.

WELL, THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED FOR THAT.

SECONDLY, THIS OVERCLOCKING IS A RISKY TASK. IT MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE WHILE PHONE WHILE DOING SO. (pls don't blame me if anything happens,as I am not liable for your phones problems.) ALSO, DOING THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.  AND TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

So, is Android overclocking safe? Well, we can say yes, though you should overclock only 10-20% of your stock frequency, or else your device will encounter another issue: battery drain. Anyhow, let’s say you overclock your handset from 1 GHz to 1.5 GHz; now this doesn’t mean that your Android device will constantly run on 1.5 GHz, as that power will be used only when needed (running games, or multiple apps, showing HD movies or running 3D tools).

As already mentioned, usually, after overclocking the CPU, the Android users are complaining about battery drain issues. In order to increase the power and also keep the battery performances I recommend you to bump the CPU frequency only with 10-20% of your stock power.

Well, now you know what Android overclocking refers to. Furthermore, we will be checking on how to prepare your device for such operation and how to actually apply the same.

Overclocking – Pre Requisites

Of course overclocking the CPU frequency is an unofficial operation that has nothing to do with Android, Google or your phone’s company. Therefore, before completing this method you have to prepare your device. Unfortunately, here come the negative aspects, all being related to the warranty of your handset: it will get void. However, if you are about to overclock your device, first read and apply the tasks from the following list.

• Root your handset. Bumping the CPU performances can be performed only if you flash a custom Kernel; and for doing such thing you first have to unchain the system of your smartphone / tablet.
• By gaining root access you will also gain access to the internal system of your handset (the factory restrictions will be removed) so the warranty will get void.
• You can restore the warranty by downgrading to stock Android OS, or by updating with an official Android update.
• Replace the stock recovery with a custom one – like CWM recovery or TWRP recovery. The stock recovery can’t be used when trying to flash a custom Kernel, so the custom one must be previously installed.
• Take note that many custom ROMs are coming with custom kernel that supports overclocking; so if your device is currently powered by a custom firmware, then overclocking might be already enabled – in that case you don’t have to flash the custom kernel.
• It will be important to backup the data that is being saved on the internal storage of your Android device, because usually wiping operations are being required (when installing a custom ROM software or custom kernel).
• Also, it will be a good idea to make a Nandroid backup for saving the current ROM – you will be able to restore the same after overclockinng.
• A computer will be required, your handset and its USB cable.
• On the computer you will have to install the device’s drivers and there shouldn’t be running any security tools.
• You should charge the battery of your smartphone / tablet before beginning the process and you should also enable the USB debugging option from its system.

That’s all; you are now ready to overclock your Android device, so let’s see how to do that:

Well, as already stated several times now, a custom kernel is being required. Therefore, you will have to follow a suitable step by step guide that can safely be applied on your device; don’t install a custom kernel by yourselves as you can end up in bricking your phone.

Do remember that most of the custom ROMs are coming with kernels that enable overclocking. In that case you can skip the operation mentioned above.

Then, after enabling overclocking you need to download one of these apps: SetCPU, No-frills CPU Control, or IncrediControl; install the tool on your device and run the same. Follow the on-screen indications in order to increase the CPU frequency, reboot and that’s it.

So, that was all for today; now you should know almost everything about Android overclocking.

AND YES, PLS +1 MY POST IF IT WAS HELPFUL AND YOU LIKED IT.
