Samsung Galaxy S II Overclocked

Now here is something to feed your speed loving brains on. Remember Samsung’s little monster, the Galaxy S II which is experiencing record sales here in the UK? Well said phone has been overclocked. It’s not like the Galaxy S II was lacking in speed as its 1.2GHz dual-core processor destroyed all previous smartphone benchmarks. But you can never have enough power can you? So why not pump that up to 1.5GHz.

For those wondering how it was achieved, some guys over in the XDA Developers Forum hooked up the coolbho3000 kernel to the GSII and yes the affirmated speed boost was achieved. In order to complete the hack, you will need the latest version of Odin3 running on a Windows system (Linux and Mac are not allowed) along with the phone. Once the phone has been rooted with Odin3, you can flash the kernel to device.

Do you really need to hack your Galaxy S II? Not really – right out of the box the Galaxy S2 offers extraordinary speed. But should you hack your S II? Sure, if you’re up for some work and don’t mind with playing with the life of your device! We don’t really recommend it, though…
