14 DAY TRIAL // Nexus S by Samsung, the latest Google phone out there, has just got a software that would enable its owners to overclock its application processor to 1.2 GHz, up from the 1 GHz speed at which the Hummingbird CPU runs from the start.
The software comes from a member of the xda-developers forum, who says that there still are some features that do not work on Nexus S after overclock.
Not to mention that the overclocking process is not a simple one, nor is it risk free, that's for sure.
Those who would like to apply the software on their devices should think twice before doing so, as the process might cause damages to the handset.
Not to mention that the overclocking process would also require for the phone to be rooted, which would void warranty of the device (even if Google claims that they designed the Nexus S so as to allow fast rooting).
Those Nexus S owners interested in trying out the overclocking solution on their devices would do so at their own risk, and they should take responsibility for any damage caused to the phone.
As stated above, the new software for Nexus S has emerged over at xda-developers, and you would find all of the necessary info on it on this post on their forums (via geekword).
The kernel is work in progress, with some features, such as Bluetooth, still not working, though it would soon be included in custom ROMs as well, it seems.
At the moment, the software is said to be compatible with the stock Android 2.3 ROM, which have been already rooted.
The new Gingerbread flagship handset is already capable of delivering impressive performance levels, and having its CPU clocked higher than it should be might provide even better performance, that's for sure.
Those interested in overclocking their new Nexus S devices should head to the said forum post on xda-developers to download the software.
