I'm currently running the rooted 1.82 rom from here on the forum, just stock android with sense. Rooted and s-offed with AMT without a problem. Clockworkmod installed. Everything works great. And I know how to flash new roms and such.
I actually like this standard rom, but I'd like to give overclocking a try. Can anyone point me to some information, or any good place to start?
Do I have to install a new kernel, if so, any preferences?
Thanks

I'd start with setCPU. I was using it to overclock/underclock until I realized CM7 had overclock settings built in.
I'm overclocked to 1.1.
Underclocked to 386.
I was when I was using setCPU as well.
U can buy it in market or get it at blackdroid.

I tried it, but on the standard rom it only lets you change frequency between 245 and 800 MHz..
just installed Virtuous unity, it already has some oc profile built in.
don't know if I can change that or if I have to use setcpu to override the standard settigns...

Yes you could use setcpu with unity but i wouldnt, because the hole point is not to
use a java based app to oc with. here is the why and how to change unity freq

Yeah I already noticed that on the virtuous site. Can I somehow check which frequency the cpu is running on? what frequencies does the dz normally run on?
I know the max is 800, but I guess it does some downclocking?

I am running Cyanogen Rc-4 with Incredikernel on my Incredible.....
I have set the speeds to 1113 and 128 using smartass governor in Cyan mod settings...
If i check set on boot will it really do it?
Or should i use Setcpu in conjunction to make sure?
Chad's kernal has a smartass governor and does this already. No need for set cpu
If you want to overclock then yes if not then no..... by default Chad's kernals are set at stock speed so if you want to overclock you will need something to overclock with.... just don't bother the min setting or smartass wont work correctly....

OK. so i followed the following guide to root my G2 from Cyan's wiki..
I messed around with the cyan settings under performance and I am not sure If my overclock settings are appropriate.
What is a safe min and max frequency for someone like me who wants smooth performance, better battery life but does not want to take too much of a risk in destroying my phone?
Also does the app SetCpu conflict with the built in Cyan overclocking options?
Thanks

In the first/second post in the CM7 thread they state a 1017/368 ondemand is recommended; SetCPU will, of course, conflict if you have both OC set from within settings and also with SetCPU running; there's no reason to use both.

Thank you good sir
the whole spectrum from minimum to maximum is completely safe... the phone has been tested to be stable at around 1.8ghz, but there's no need to go that high.
hi all, trust you are doing fine. i recently flashed a CM7 rom, (yey ! noob ) and would like to overclock my device.. Do i need to install app like CPU master or SET cpu or it would be better just to use the CM7 settings then -> performance to overclock. hope you guys could help me out..
Thank in advance
Okay... after getting your answer what was the need to post again?

He asked what was better...
I think it's better to overclock via CM settings, but for any other ROM you must use SetCPU or simmilar apps to overclock

because maybe I'm on the wrong area hehe,
Sir, please help me here. This is why i'm asking this question because i can't overclock my wildfire, after i set it with maximum to 768 mhz and minimum to 710 mhz, playing fruit ninja is still all laggy.
here's some specs of my phone:
HTC wildfire
CM7 stable (7.1.0.1-buzz)
Android version: 2.3.7
Kernel: [email protected] #1
S-off with revolutionary
thanks in advance sir

hello dude... I will give u the clear idea...
u can use both Set CPU or Inbuilt setting in CM...... but the difference is that "set cpu" or any other similar tools will have the option of making profiles... that is the only advantage, so u can go for anyone thats not a problem, but i suggest SETCPU..
And u cannot overclock above 691Mhz in cm 7.1.0.1... if u do so, then it will stuck up.. so i use max - 672 & min - 2XX... with "on demand" profile in SETCPU.. It runs quite smoothly.....
All the best...

Just because you can't doesn't mean others can't, I run perfect at 788 and know others do too.
Its the tolerance of your CPU which determines how fast you can o/c not the rom.

oh if it is true sorry for that... but here we 3 people using that rom in htc wildfire, cant o/c above 691... and also a friend of mine who had same problem as above, but he can able to o/c at 768Mhz in a different rom (not cm 7.1.0.1 as we used).. think its rooted wildfire with android 2.2..

Scratch is totally correct.stable Overclocking is totally CPU dependent and doesn't matter which rom ur using. Now you might not be able to o/c some roms due to the KERNEL!!!
I can overclock also to 768 but seems my phone works best at 633.

i'm a little bit confused.. @[email protected]
which is which sir ? do i need to flash another kernel ?
No....... just leave the kernel alone, the chances of you being able to o/c anymore than you can already are slim + you probably wouldn't even notice the difference in speed anyway.
Also fruit ninja doesn't work for me either, its probably because we have no gpu.

I'm running Cyanogen 7.2 and use ILWT 1.8 as the kernel. No matter what I do, I never see the voltage tab in SetCPU. Any help?

Undervolting happens in the kernel, not an app. You need to install an undervolted kernel (such as Pershoot's). Also, CM7 has a performance setting so there's no need to use SetCPU, just set your max and min speeds in the performance settings of CM7 and get rid of SetCPU (it's polling has proven to be a battery drain).

The kernel specifically states in its changelog that it supports changing voltages:
"Exposed VDD levels to userspace, so that voltages for all frequencies can be modded at any time"

Sorry, that must be a new feature in 7.2. Check in CM Settings under the performance tab.

The ILWT kernel is fine for undervoltung. However, you should not use SetCPU and you also won't find any options for undervolting in a CM7 settings dialog. I'd recommend using OC/UV Beater for undervolting. I am also using it for undervolting on the latest ILWT kernel.

I prefer SetCPU for a more detailed automatic profile rather than just simply 'battery low'. But I don't do the voltage settings in SetCPU either just the profiles, for the voltage settings I set them in a userinit.sh in /data/local/ (it's provided as undervolt.sh as a reference by the rom creator) and reboot so it applies it to the vdd_levels file.
Hello guyz. I need some tips to improve my willy's battery performance.
1) Should i use "Easy battery saver" or "juice defender" ?
2) what settings should i choose ?
3) i'm using Rempuzzle rom and have overclocked it to 691 Mhz - 352 Mhz.
4) are there any scripts ?
I use my mobile alot and it doesnt lasts for for more than 12 hours... in that time battery decreases to less than 15% & then i charge it.
5) supercharger or juwe ram optimization ? Or both ?
6) setcpu governor ? Ondemand or smartass ?

To choose between the apps my opinion will be to try them and to see which works best for you. I would also have the governer smartass v2 (it is in cm7 settings however i don't know about rempuzzle). There is the v6 supercharger script. It improves battery life, here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043498&highlight=script. Check your display settings and having a constant mobile internet connection drains your battery (especially if you have a lot of accounts like whatsapp, gtalk, etc.).
And you can downclock it If you are not play games, will see no difference if it is on 576mhz or 691mhz I tested app launch speed with all frequencies and it is not noticeable, but try it. I guess battery saving apps wont help much. (at least did not worked for me)

Downclock it ? Its a wildfire buddy not a galaxy note 2.. its one of the slowest and decreasing processor not good idea for willy.

I know, have one just sayin you can test it no harm if u play games overclock it of course. Dont look for MLFLOOPS or how its called... just use it and get stopwatch i tested like on launching apps coz that is the only thing that is bit slow. Try and see for yourself. I mean, find optimal settings. Good luck

Yeah seems i found a fine combination. Using cm7.2 and setcpu setting profiles etc but best rom is rempuzzle handsdown

CPU tuner
Oh... that just reminded me do download CPU tuner and give it another chance Before i had problems with it, but it was another rom, anotha kernel...
Did not take me long to set up and to test it.
I use screen on/screen off trigers.
Screen on max frequency: 576mhz (OC when needed)
Screen off max frequency: 176mhz
Kernel version: 2.6.35.14-nFinity [email protected] #1
And there is no lag when it waking up!! So far so perfect
So i found the answer.
Best stock rom: rempuzzle
Use setcpu, set profiles
Overclock to 710 max 352 min
Governor: smartass
For cyanogenmod:
Best rom: cm7.2 (stable)
Set profiles wirh setcpu
Overclock max 710 min 352
Governor: smartassv2
For good performance as well as battery life.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
no
I can not agree.
For cynogenmod, best ROM version is nightly as i had sound bugs, in-call volume etc. with stable 7.2... (and all based roms on stable)
And in nightly only bug is when you take screenshot. (sometimes do it right, sometimes do not)
Either min clock freq can go to 264 as well!!!
And use CPU tuner it is free :good:

yup everyone has their own opinions and hence no one could decide a beat rom for all.
And btw,rempuzzle isn't a stock rom,its a 'custom sense rom'.
