Want to overclock your iPhone 4?

[Dan-SRi]

Ive been looking for a bit now and have found out how!

And its soooo easy!
And it actually works!

Heres a geekbench test before the overclock:

Heres a geekbench test after the overclock:

Anyway heres a how to:

1. Jailbreak your iPhone using one of many tools. For example PwnageTool on mac.
2. Open Cydia up
3. Select "manage" down the bottom.
4. Touch on "Sources" in the middle.
5. Touch on "Edit" at the top right.
6. Touch on "Add" on the top left.
7. Type in: http://apt.modmyi.com/
8. Touch "Add Source" It will now refresh the sources.
9. Touch "Return to Cydia"
10. Touch "Search" on the right at the bottom.
11. Search at the top for: ioverclock
12: Touch on the result.
13: Touch on "Install" in the top right.
14. Touch "Cancel" on the top left.
15. Touch "Cancel & Que"
16. Search again for winterboard
17. Scroll to "W" and the program "winterboard"
18. Touch "Install"
19. Touch "Install" both in the top right.
20. Let it install and once done touch the "Tap to respring"
21. Go on settings.
22. Scroll down to winterboard.
23. Touch "Select Themes"
24. Select "iOverclock" so it has a tick next to it.
25. Touch "Winterboard" in the top right.
26. Touch "Respring" in the top right.
27. Enjoy!

Yep. Alot of steps but that includes everything you need to do it.

Let me know if you do it and how you get on. As i have done it on my iPhone 4 and it definitely works and is a tad noticeable.

Might work on lower generation iPhones, have a go! :)

What is "Overclocking" exactly :wacko:

[Dan-SRi]

Apple underclocks your cpu (making the phone slower) to save battery life. But, like me, if your not battery life isn't bad. You can overclock it to the spec it had before apple underclocked it.
So basically will make it load things slightly quicker and have a quicker response.

Are you sure they didnt underclock it so that it didnt overheat?

Overclocking in a phone may be a very bad idea depending on the temperature differences. My iphone gets quite hot already!

[Dan-SRi]

May have done bud. But ive been running this for a day now and it hasnt got hot under some heavy useage of more than 8 apps running at one time.. Tbh my iphone 4 only gets a bit hot when i charge it.

[haz_pro]

Fair enough, cant say my phone struggles with any thing i do atm so i wont bother.

But if i start using apps more etc then i might, i rarely use my phone for anything but email and texting.

Meh this has been done already i dont see the difference when i overclocked a phone overclocking computers is more fun for me :) :panic:

What is "Overclocking" exactly :wacko:

Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers. Some purchase low-end computer components which they then overclock to higher clock rates, or overclock high-end components to attain levels of performance beyond the specified values. Others overclock outdated components to keep pace with new system requirements, rather than purchasing new hardware.[1]

People who overclock their components mainly focus their efforts on processors, video cards, motherboard chipsets, and random-access memory (RAM). It is done through manipulating the CPU multiplier and the motherboard's front side bus (FSB) clock rate until a maximum stable operating frequency is reached, although with the introduction of Intel's new X58 chipset and the Core i7 processor, the front side bus has been replaced with the QPI (Quick Path Interconnect); often this is called the Baseclock (BCLK). While the idea is simple, variation in the electrical and physical characteristics of computing systems complicates the process. CPU multipliers, bus dividers, voltages, thermal loads, cooling techniques and several other factors such as individual semiconductor clock and thermal tolerances can affect it.[2]

Will the phone still be covered after overclocking hehe?

cool...

[crabzy]

will this work on ipod touch ?
