Coming from the peter alfonso world of the Droid 1, there is something I loved and was wondering if it was possible for our incredibles.
He had a flashable zip called CPU toolkit, I think, that would add cpu settings to the devices menu. This let you NOT have to install setcpu and still be able to adjust CPU setting.
Possible perhaps?

I've never seen it. Closest I've seen is BAMF on the Tbolt. But I don't use any of that. The best way to manage kernel settings is via a script in /system/etc/init.d, assuming your kernel support that. If it doesn't, apps probably won't work real well either. If you have questions, hit me up and I'll explain more.
some cpu settings are already in the cm7 rom.

True but I was just thinking of a flashable zip for generic roms.

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.
I wonder, because I've always been into gaming on alot of consoles, so I'd like to play games on my EVO, but smoothly

About the best thing you can do is get a lightweight ROM, Overclock your custom kernel
R2R going green and download no frills app to overclock, whatever it is if its sense I strongly reccomend amon ra recovery and ChopSuey kernel

+10 This is the correct answer!!
Honestly any good aosp ROM.....decks, cm7, whatever. U should also give the savagedzen kernel a go. My handset seems to like it better, especially for intense graphic stuff......tiamat is still the standard though.
Thanks guise, should give them a try :3
i came into this thread, curious, since i've turned my evo into a media/game device and was wondering if there was a better setup than i'm currently using.
but apparently deck's 1.3 with tiamat 3.3.7 sbc and chainfire3d is... pretty hard to beat
I was not saying sense was better for gameing, I was saying if u are going to use sense that will work great on ALL levels, as in customization, speed, and simplicity...

Who's thread? I'm curious on how to use CF3D
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14091373
Chainfire3d basically replaces your opengl driver with his modified version. Download the app, open it up, and click install Chainfire3d drivers. In his thread he gives pretty detailed information on what each of the settings do.
Deck's AOSP Rom or Barnacles AOSP Rom are the best to try, they are as base as you can get (CM7 comes with ADW Launcher blah) And either kernels mentioned above but I use Tiamat.
Use setCPU to set up 'performance' governor and max speed of 1.19 anything in the 1.2 range and you risk freezing/crashing. It all depends on your phone tho so you're welcome to try out 1.2Ghz OC if your phone can handle that stable.
Chainfire isn't really required as I only use it in rare occasions. usually to play Tegra based games or to use it's OpenGL features to lower texture quality etc..
Only drawback to the AOSP roms I've found tho are that multi-touch can be a bit buggy, if you're pressing with one finger already then another to move the screen around in lets say an FPS game, it's very choppy whereas Sense roms are smooth (but it might just be phone specific) Another slight issue I've noticed in AOSP roms is they make poor use of the radio/wifi drivers, I get better signal/wifi reception on Sense based roms, but this was a topic for gaming so anyway.. I'm currently testing a recently released sense 1 official Evo OG rom for games and I'm actually impressed (using it with stock kernal no SetCPU) soon I will be trying out some kernels but if you hate AOSP you should give some of the custom OG Roms a try.

any specific settings that you use?
Hello everyone,
I recently brought my SG2 yesterday and there's alot thing I want to do with it. More importantly, I want to make my phone stable and have a long battery life.
So I rooted my phone and installed Juggernaut 5.0 rom and installed Mr.X's Synergy Kernel and it's been great!
I was wondering how to underclock/undervolt this phone using SetCPU because I kinda confused how to do this. Any suggestions?

Use system tuner. I dont think set cpu offers UV. Or my way, use gideons script and dont use a cpu app at all

Oh okay is there a link on how to set up Gideon's script perfectly? I heard you have to unistall all CPU controlling apps.

uninstall cpu apps.
wipe cache/dalvik
Flash the script you want in cwm
One last question: do you know where I could get the script? I searched everywhere in XDA and I can't find it lol sorry

I ran a custom version when I was on gingerbread. You can edit the values, but it doesn't seem like you are up for that task yet. Either one should be fine, although all phones are not created equal and handle mods differently. You'll know if its too much UV when your phone reboots itself. Keep the stock one on your sd in case you need to flash it back. You can also push the thanks button when you get a chance

I want to be able to use CPU Tuner or SetCPU, but I'm not sure wether or not it is safe due to the fact that I'm flashing a ROM that already has a performance setting.
I'm currently flashing AOKP M1.
Should I enable CPU Tuner?
Thanks in advance.

Just don't use both at the same time. Pick one and stay with it.

does anyone know how to access the governor settings in Paranoid Android 3.0? I'm using the AK Dummy Kernel right now but I don't know where to access the settings. I'm sure it's simple but I've had the hardest time finding it.

You need an app i.e. Trickster Mod, setcpu, etc.
