Overclock Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE To 1.9Ghz [How To]
Enabling 1.9Ghz on your Tab is as easy it was rooting the device. What you have is a custom kernel that you can flash after you have rooted your device using Da_G’s rooted kernel. 1.9Ghz is not much stable when running benchmarks, but if you’re familiar with the likes of SetCPU or CPUMaster, you can lower the clocks a bit and find the right sweet spot for your tablet.
