Overclock and kernel question - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to boost my performance a little bit either through another kernel or overclocking or both. How do you overclock the Dinc, and do some kernels overclock better than others? Thanks for any help.

Certain kernels have higher overclocking ceilings than others but none are "better", per se, for overclocking. Check out setCPU or CM7 has overclocking preferences built in.

Ok cool.
I am running cm7 but also have setcpu, is one preferred over the other? And as far as overclocking, do you just start increasing the speed slowly until you get it where you want or it becomes unstable?

I would just use the built in OC of CM7, I've heard that using both can cause conflicts. And yes, just bump up your frequency bit by bit and if you start getting reboots or freezes, dial it back. For AOSP kernels, I've founds incredikernel to work really well, then invisiblek, then tiamat. Though incredikernel does have a lower OC ceiling than the others.

"kernel manager pro" in the market may also be useful for you. It keeps up to date on which kernels work specifically for your device and you can flash from the app. I'm currently using Tiamat 4.0.2. It will clock to 1228MHz

Set cpu help

Okay so I disabled the battery tweak and just started using set cpu. My set cpu doesn't have a lot of profiles or options even. I would like to know if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

The profiles are user defined so if you havent made any, there won't be any to choose from. What are you trying to do?
I'm trying to make more profiles, or smarter ones. I wanna see what everyone else has..

Honestly, I don't even use profiles anymore, I just let HAVS do its thing. When I did use them, I used screen off @245 and low batt set to 15% @768.
A HAVS kernel?

Yep. When my phone sleeps, it really SLEEPS. I can go all night without losing a single % point.
This site has two profiles setup for SetCPU

I'm curious about what kernel to use. Kings#11 sucked, netarchy cfs was bad..and seems like the only one tolerable was stock but I need to have good battery power..I'm currently using ziggy471

I am getting great battery life with MikFroyo and stock kernel. If you use a HAVS kernel be careful overclocking it, increasing CPU speed with decreased voltage from the HAVS can harm your phone
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm getting annoyed with these kernels. So far the only ones that work are ziggy471 and stock 17. I really want to switch to myns two point two rls 5. Problem with that is I don't want to upgrade my radio and lose something. So how do I upgrade without fixing the radios?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I updated my radios and then downgraded my PRI back to 1.77, its easy and works great.

Cm7 overclocking???

Is there a kernel I can flash that will allow me to overclock past 1113 for cm7? I'm not worried about battery,HDMI or wimax. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my home phone.
Also do I use the set CPU app or the one built into cm7?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I am using SavagedZen (first link), and can overclock to 1190, which is about the highest I have seen for overclocking, the other kernel that is fairly popular for CM7 is Tiamat (second link) and I believe that they support overclocking also (not sure how much though).
If you are using a smartass governor, you will want to use the built in overclocking feature of CM7, but you will probably need SetCPU and profiles for the other governors

DUMB QUESTION...I think

So on the miui.us.us latest after installing tiamat kernel everything works great...but do I need to install something like setCPU(which I would like to avoid) to set clock speeds etc etc. I'm pretty sure you do seeing how I can't find it anywhere in settings. I know in roms such as mexdroid and the like new kernels replace "performance settings". So I'm thinking I need to use setCPU.
Thanks for any help given

I'm not completely sure about that specific kernel, but its a pretty good idea to run SetCPU if your ROM doesn't include CPU settings.
For example, if the kernel you installed OC's up to 1.5ghz or something, you may prefer to run at a lower frequency. SetCPU is probably a good idea. Also, if you want to run at 1.5ghz you're going to need SetCPU profiles for heat and screen off, etc.

Thanks for response. I know all about setCPU, I just don't like it. But yeah looks like that's the only option. Although miui.us seems to be clocked at 1GHz so I think I'll just stick with that.
Thanks again...and tiamat kernel works great on it

Good. Yea I don't like setCPU either. I use the built in controls in CM7. If you're happy with the stock clock speed and don't have issues you won't need to use it.

[Q] What give the evo its peak performance

What gives the evo is peak performance. Should not have alot of apps download or what are somethings i can do to my evo to make it performs perfect and yes my evo is rooted thanks and hope to hear from you soon. I am looking for good tips.
Find the right rom + kernel combination, overclick it, run the v6 supercharger script.

Yep....that's the ticket
Where can i find that.

You can only find good Roms/kernels by flashing them and finding one your phone likes (you must have root)... V6 supercharge is here on xda and you can download no frills CPU from the market that over/underclocks your phone, I would also suggest uninvisible tweaks and 3g optimize, apps to SD helps sometimes too...

Peak performance is salvagemod 1.3.1 with tiamat 3.3.7, over clocked, undervolted, with v6.
It is the smallest rom there is and it is very efficient

Why was I never told of this? Is it plain?

I switched to Evo deck, with the savaged zen kernel.
It's pretty damn snappy.
I underclocked it to 768mhz (there is a voltage spike anywhere above that), to save significant battery. Evo deck is so fast, you don't need the higher clock speeds.
I also disabled animations, set my governor to smartass, and I use opera mobile with turbo activated as my browser. Also I disabled surface dithering, locked my home app, and messenger in ram (evo deck barely uses ram), and switched to 16 bit transperancies. I run a power widget for power control, so there is no automated system constantly checking things, slowing me down.
Disabling or removing DSP also helps a bit, atleast when you have audio output.
Compared to cyanogen, evo deck seems to have way, way better battery life and is silky smooth, and I'm not sure why.
Very tiny download though.

[Q] Overclocking MIUI

I have been using MIUI-GB as my DD after trying out many ROMs.
The free memory is an issue which i can manage easily with built-in app killer.
I was wondering how do i overclock my processor as there is no OC daemon or any other app in the ROM ??
download set cpu or similar app in market (i prefer set cpu you though) know that this will only work for you with certain kernels but chances are whatever one came with your miui version allows for overclocking/undervolting. if for some strange reason it dosent find a compatible kernel and flash it over your rom

I installed "CPU Control Lite" and oc'ed my phone to 1.2Ghz. It said you kernel does not support UV'ing. But after oc'ing, my phone is behaving strangely. Launcher is forcecrashing. While playing music, if a notification comes, the music app crashes. Is it because of oc'ing or rom issue???
Can't say for sure but if it started after overclocking than this is more than likely the cause. Try 1.0ghz

Try setcpu, or cpu tuner. Just try. I use setcpu, ov until 2ghz
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
As dem' says, try 1gHz to start. You may find that stock speeds with a better governor makes it more responsive.
Also you should have to kill apps unless they are causing problems. When you say 'built in app killer' do you mean in the app management in settings or is it an app that came with the rom?
