Often, users of not the most powerful smartphones and tablets ask the question of how to overclock the processor to Android. This is entirely possible, but you should be aware that such actions will automatically destroy the warranty. Moreover, if overclocked incorrectly, you can disable your smartphone beyond repair.
How to do it
Overclocking the processor Android is done using third-party applications. There are a lot of them. Here is a list of the most common programs:
- SetCPU.
- Antutu CPU Master.
- Milestone Overc Lock.
- CPU Tuner.
With their help, you can increase the maximum frequency of your processor. To conserve battery power, you can also lower the minimum frequency at which the device will operate when locked (in sleep mode). What other ways there are to save battery power is described in great detail here.
So let's take a closer look at the overclocking process using the example of the CPU Tunner application.

How to increase the clock speed of the CPU
Before proceeding to the steps, it is worth noting that you need Root rights. Without this, none of the programs will work. Moreover, even with superuser rights, you can only adjust the maximum and minimum frequency within acceptable limits. That is, you cannot increase the maximum processor frequency more than is allowed.
To be able to truly overclock the processor, you need to flash the device. Read how to do it yourself in this article.
The fact is that the official firmware and the standard kernel simply block such actions.
First you need to go to the w3bsit3-dns.com website and find the firmware and kernel version that will allow you to work with the processor, and increase the maximum allowable frequency of its operation.
So how to overclock Android? Once again, it is worth warning that further actions may lead to damage to the device. Moreover, in some cases, if it fails, repair will be impossible.

Overclocking process
First, download the required application. For example, CPU Tuner.
Install it on your smartphone (or tablet). At the first start, a warning will appear that the utility will not work without Root rights. Next, you must grant these rights to the program.
Once launched, you will need to select system configurations:
- Complicated.
- Constant.
- Simple and powerful.
- Extreme.
Read the description of each item carefully to make the right choice. As a rule, the 'Constant' mode is the most optimal. After that, you must select the level of use of the program:
- Beginning.
- Normal.
- Experienced user.
It all depends on your level of knowledge. For complete control, select the last option and click the 'Save' button. Now you can adjust the maximum and minimum threshold of the processor frequency.
It should be noted that the adjustment is best done gradually. If the frequency is increased sharply, the processor may simply overheat and fail. Also watch the temperature. This program has an extremely simple and intuitive interface that absolutely everyone can understand.
