Is anyone using setcpu? I bought it back when I had the hero but I'm not sure if it will work now on this phone. I'm rooted using toast's method if that even matters for something like this. thanks in advance!
It's the same CPU as the Nexus and it has settings for the Nexus, so in theory it should work. I had a Nexus before this phone and it worked fine.
I believe, like the Hero, you need a kernel tweak to have true overclocking.
yeah I dont wanna overclock i just want to downclock when the screen is off to save battery. I tried using the nexus one settings but it didnt seem like it was working using on demand. The clock speeds it was showing were kind of goofy. Guess i should wait for the programmer to update it

what?!? what do you mean u dont want to oc... theres always room for more speed!
true that but i have always been nervous about burning up the processor hehe
Overclocking would be nice, but I'd also like to save some battery with the on demand profile. Does anyone have it working?
I posted a patch in a thread in the development forum that would enable full support, plus overclocking, but nobody seems to have noticed it.
I might have to buy an EVO just to compile and test kernels... Or, if anybody wants to help me, shoot me a PM.
I used the unrevoked method to root and picked the N1 for the device in setcpu and it seems to be working great with the on demand setting. I have noticed a nice increase in battery life so far.

Is it linked or built-in?
If it's linked I'd be more than happy to test!
yea i use 1.5.4 pro edition... i make it go to 245mhz while idle/sleep... it works perfectly... and it runs 'ondemand'... if you dont need speed it wont go... i keep it to start at boot, and have ATK to ignore it so it doesnt close... theres no lag btw when it moves back to 998mhz

Regardless of the mythical talk of overclocking your HTC device being a bad thing (if done reasonably) Has no drastic effect on your device! For the past 2 years I have been using a small yet simple app called performance. With the app, you can overclock your device up to 624mhz (for those with lesser performance) or underclock your higher powered device to save battery life!
All you have to do is unzip the file save it the memory card, then copy it to your device root menu (NOT WINDOWS ROOT), run the app, enable the software, and there you go, simple and easy!
I'm not going to take any credit for this app, because it isn't mine! There is no mention of anyone who created this app. But, if you are out there, let me know!
If any one has any other questions, drop me a line!
dude, for what CPU is it made...

well, oc should have drastic effect..

ehhh.. doesn't work on pxa270 cpu. it looks just as uni oc-er, if i remember right.
it is not working at all(cpu clock is NOT changing, as i supposed.

also, it is hard to imagine 620 mhz omap, lol.
I'm talking in the negative sense! It doesn't hurt the phone! As I mentioned, I have been using it for 2years now and I have not had any issues!
This app is good for ARM and OMAP processors!

Ok, I apologize, the oc'er is best utilized with HTC devices. I did my further research and found out! Sorry for the misleading info! However, I am pretty sure there are other oc'ers out there that will SAFELY oc your device! As, I mentioned, I have been doing for the 2 years!
For those who are uncertain check out this thread. Yes, I started it, but the feed back speaks for itself!

Im new to the HTC scene, and have recently just purchased a Touch Pro...
Will this over clockin app work with this model HTC?
Cheers
i've used battery status to determinate if there is an effective increase of performance in my polaris ; the clock speed is still 400mhz
edit:
doesn't work with htc cruise. tested with sbp benckmark
I have tested this app, on a Touch Vogue, PPC6700 and a Touch Diamond, and noticed a difference with all three, one more than the other and vise-versa! Its small enough to take no room on your device and its an .exe file, so, nothing is created on your devices root or anywhere else!

Dude, this thread is almost a year old.
Try:

If you use CM OC ability it's built into settings.

I really do not want to flash a new rom/kernal.
Has anyone used SetCPU on their stock kernal? SetCPU now has that perflock disabler that automatically activates on start-up. I was wondering if anyone can post results that they have had with SetCPU and the stock kernal.
Thanks.
doesnt matter it doesnt work on stock kernels from what i know....
as i understand it you still need a oc enabled kernel.
you can underclock i think right.. but not overclock.
again i think.
but i dont oc... havs...undervolting.. it doesnt matter. you just destroy battery life when you oc the phone.

There was a pretty big thread about this on ppcgeeks a while back when the Evo first came out and no custom kernels were around. Back then, it had no impact because the kernel didn't support it like the custom ones do. However, there were some that swore it did (placebo effect).
EDIT: I haven't read the thread with the newer RUU releases, so it might be possible now if HTC built support in the kernel. As mentioned above, give it a try and see how it works for you.

Because by the time I can see results, 24 hours would have already passed and I lose out on my refund if it doesn't work.
But, I am going to give it a try, screw it. I've spend $2 on stupider things. I'll report back after I have had ample time to test it with the Perflock off function.

SetCPU works just fine for setting the CPU on a stock kernel. You just can not overclock. And I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with overclocking. I mean it is 12% or 13% at best which isn't a lot. IMHO. And the drain on already poor battery life isn't worth it. 1Ghz is plenty fast enough. However, underclocking is a great thing.

Hai Guise!
Back a little while ago the G2/Vision thread (before Desire Z was merged) had a thread about overclocking made by a user named Flippy. I followed it for a while because it was getting insanely out of control and awesome. I had used 1.9Ghz as my max oc for a while and It was great. Now I'm on 1.8Ghz again because the 1.9Ghz kernel was removed later on and replaced with the 1.8Ghz update zip. (For some reason doesn't work for me so I had to fastboot it)
So the reason I made this thread is because I would like to have the 2.0Ghz kernel. I know it's possible and has been done already. I've looked into compiling my own but apparently I need linux to compile it and I'm not fond of installing VM's on my old computer that will barely run as it is.
Now I ask of you, if anyone who is kind enough to possibly please compile a 2.0Ghz zimage for me, I would be greatly in your debt and appreciate it much so! I understand that it is my fault if I mess up my device and only I am held responsible.
Thank you in advanced to anyone kind enough to offer their services.

Why do you need to overclock that high? I've used the 1.8Ghz and found that to.be overkill. I'm running at about 1ghz at that seems ample.

Wouldn't that fry your phone without any active cooling system or something? Sounds unnecessarily risky..

You don't need a VM. You need to wipe the garbage off and install linux on the "bare metal".
While it would be *neat* to oc this phone to 2GHz - just because. It would be beyond useless and I can just see some noob burning down their parents house or possibly starting a nuclear war with Russia by accident. Lets not forget your carrier reporting you to the CIA for having a nuclear reactor in your phone.
Look, with no active cooling it's just downright stupid to go that high. However being the genius' that we are I'm sure somebody could devise a method to install a mini fan or some liquid cooling on this phone. But then you may need that nuclear reactor to power all that stuff. Haven't we already set a guiness world record at 1.8GHz on a production phone anyway? Maybe we need to tell them so we can make it in the book

LOL, it didn't make you go back in time or some ****?
The 1.9Ghz kernel caused my phone to crash. 2.0 would burn your phone's processor out. Just use the 1.8Ghz kernel and have the profiles on SetCPU set to the lowest speeds when the display's off.
Your phone may not actually run stable at 2GHz. Mine doesn't run stable past 1.6GHz, and that runs psx4droid *perfectly*, especially with the optimization they've done in the app recently.
Also, even with setCPU profiles, battery drain when you ARE running that high is a beeeotch.
Honestly, it's not really for OCing that high, but rather the look at what I can do I had a friend just ask be how high I can OC my phone and at 1.5GHz he's like woah :O His face at 2GHz would have been like
I previously used Flippy's kernel on my G2 and did OC it to 1.8 GHz, and got a Quadrant score of 3037. It was cool to see how fast my phone could actually get, but I'm more than comfortable with OC'ing it to 1.4 GHz. Anything more than that seems to be unnecessary to me, but that's just my opinion. Last thing I want is to have my G2 melt while it's in the pocket of my pants.

Nope, not for me anyway. I know different HW revisions and such have an effect on how high you can oc but my phone doesn't skip a beat at 1.8GHZ. I'm sure I could go to 2GHZ or a bit higher but unless I'm trying to emulate a PS3, I don't see the purpose - aside from maybe setting a record.

Same. I can do 1.8 all day if I keep near a charger. Anything over 1.3 will drain my battery like a monster though.
I keep at 1.2 regularly and only go higher for games.

I can jog 1.8 and 1.9Ghz for a day without even reaching a dangerous temperature.
Can I get some supportive ideas and less herp derp personal opinions?
Highest Ive pushed mine is 1.5ghz. No need to go any further, Im satisfied with the performance. I get a full days battery life and the temperatures never get critical (my setcpu profile is set to underclock at 38.2 degrees Celcius but my G2 hasn't gotten close to that). Im curious at what stage my G2 would score 3000+ in Quadrant.
You might PM flippy and see if he will customize a kernel for you that goes that high. Let him know you will send a certified letter signed in blood and a video of you stating you release him of all liability for what ever town you destroy when your phone goes nuclear.
Seriously though, I'm willing to be he'll make it for kicks if you ask nicely - btw, call guiness so you can make it into the record books. Also, I'm not sure but if you flash a 'blank' kernel couldn't you just echo the speed and voltage in the 00banner file or whichever one it is?

I've not done the undervolting yet but I'm thinking about it just still reading on what I want to do. I did however do the overclocks for a few days and imo only I really saw no need for it from the stock settings so I just went back to normal. The phone is fast enough for me even playing games that extra 1-2-3-400 mhz really didn't show that much of a difference.
Again this is my opinion others see the need for it I just didn't.

I think viper mad some stuff for the phone. I know he has a rom out for the phone already so maybe his tweaks are there you could always check the dev section.
My phone had freezing issues at anything higher than 1.4ghz, but even then the only real difference I saw was quadrant scores. Games ran the same, in fact I think the UI actually was choppier when OC'ed. Never really looked into it much though.
I don't even know why I tried it in the first place, I never said to myself "gee, this could be faster.." I guess coming from an HTC Hero it was a habit.
this phone does NOT need to be over clocked; it is so much faster than your Evo, that you won't believe it!
Undervolting and under clocking can give you extra battery life; do a search on the Dev thread, and you will learn lots about it..

Dont try it bro. Look at meruk kernels thread in development section.there is no feature called overclocking.
I have heard in past that he made a overclocking kernel which was abandoned.
My advice.most the developers are in xda.most blogs copy paste their work.do a search in xda before doing something risky.

It works, you can overclock to 900MHz and also, 1GHz, but it drains battery like anything, almost 5x times, mines over at just 3 hours with normal usage, and some fcs with multi tasking, it isnt stable. So better not use it and btw, if something like this comes, it comes first at xda, dont waste your time reading other blogs.
BTW, its copied from merruk kernel thread from development section.
I overclocked with this kernel
Improved benchmark score
But drains battery very fast
Better use a good kernel....
