I overclocked my phone to 1.4GHz but it freezes soon after. 1GHz works fine. I followed the youtube vid from blackprince. Any help would be nice thanks

More info, are you rooted? Im assuming yes from the blackprince video reference. What rom are you on, what kernel, setcpu, any profiles etc...????

R u using gscript overclock??

Kernal is
2.6.32.17-g9ab3677
Yes I im useing gscript. I have the
OC. File and Oshitttt
Oc. Works fine, but have to overclock it every time I reboot. Every thing is stock on my phone beside the peraroot (S-off) and the kernal.

I do have setcpu, astro, and all apps needed to root and over clock. I am still on stock rom.

Then I guess you're just unlucky :/
You'll have to just settle for 1GHz I guess.

I dont think I quite understand your situation, are you rooted or not, according to this post you say you are stock besides "peraroot (I think you meant permroot)and the kernel" , so meaning you are rooted (s-off)??. Anyways if you are rooted why are you using gscript to OC with? And if your on a custom kernel why not use setcpu or something similar.
If your not rooted (s-on) then I think I remember when using the gsript files that 1.4 and over was unstable, if you want something a little higher than 1ghz use something like word pad to change the value in the script you are pushing for the oc to go to 1.1ghz or 1.2ghz etc..

From my experience, not all processors are created equal... Some just handle the higher frequencies better than others do.
I have loaded everything why not working download kernel should put first in phone should I do in computer

Yes I'm permarooted. S-off. I'm useing gscript because that's what was done in the video. I have setcpu and use it but with out a overclock program I can only raise it to 806MGz and with oc. I can raise it to 1017MGz. If that's as high as I can go then I guess I just have to deal with that.

As someone said earlier, I think you are using the old, unstable method. I highly recommend u updating to a ROM with OC embedded into the kernel.
It is also true that "not all processors are created equally" but this is the only case I have read with it freezing at 1.4.

U need to find a rom that suits u and use pershoots kernel download any cpu tuner for overclock do not use gscript it really freezes ur phone

I have the same problem ,i am running virtouos ROM with evil 12/10 and if i over-clock anything over 1094mhz my phone freezes the the only way that i can manage more than that is if i set it to performance scaling with no profile and there is no point on doing that because it eats the battery .its only good for benchmarking ,i think your problem is same is me, you have been unlucky with your CPU .i am just hoping its going to be different when gingerbread come out.

Have you given CM6.1 a go just to compare if you can clock higher using a different ROM?
If you are indeed using the gscript method then this has been explained many times! there's a whole giant humungo thread about that hack when it initially came out.
the reason your phone's freezing is because you're asking it to clock faster, but you arent giving it more juice to offset the additional work it's conducting..hence the freeze. that old hack (while it was awesome at the time) is very outdated and has been surpassed by actual performance kernels.
It's all in the thread. you wouldnt put low octane in a sports car would you? same principle lol

I think they have already solved the key mapping for the CM rom, look here:

I gave CM6.1 a go and i am stable at 1.5ghz cheers for that , i really like sense though, i will play with CM6.1 and see what happens maybe i will continue using it.
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.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
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?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
"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
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.

Which app would be best to control the kernels customizable contents like overclocking wattage audio boost. I'm kinda noob when it comes to changing settings that are allowable through the kernel i probably listed most that cant be. But what app is good for overclocking would it be the setcpu app?

Absolutely SETCPU. Make sure you let it auto detect after you install.
EDIT: Tiny updated to beta6, he says it's the RC now.
Thanks! I've been wondering about that one but didn't want to feel like I was wasting my money.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
no, setCPU is the ****; you won't be wasting your money, trust.
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?
