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??
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
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.
Is it ok to use setcpu with a rom like myns warm two point two or is it not necessary?

Certainly OK, but useful... you'll get a lot of answers. I'll say it can be

If your happy with the way your phone is running then why mess with it? Setcpu will work with it no problems but if you want to overclock then you will need to change kernels

Yeah I wasn't planning on issuing for overclocking, but for underclocking when the screen is off.

SetCPU is useful regardless of ROM or Kernel. The ability to select different profiles and CPU settings based on need or battery life is always nice. I would set my default to "On Demand" and max 998 min 128. Then enable profiles and set it up how you like. I perfer to drop my cpu way down while charging, wayyy down for screen off, and hero style 528 for 50% or less battery.
If you do opt for a different kernel make sure it is one that is listed in Myn's post, otherwise it will bork your Spare Parts app.

Ok thanks for the info! I'll play with it and see if I get better battery.

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
Other than SetCPU apk, Is there another apk that will allow me to overclock on my evo????
There are a couple in the market. Overclock widget is one of them
We're comin from a pure power source.
I personally like SetCPU the best

You are probably aware of this but I'll throw it out just in case... You also have to be running a kernel that allows overclocking.

Yea, I think this is my problem, it won't go past 998400mhz. It says you can disable Perflock, but that doesn't do anything.
So is there no way to overclock with 2.6.35.10 htc kernel?
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.
