Since we have issues changing the clock values I was search for an app and stumbled upon this app from Transformer Prime forums. There are only few settings but works well.

Nice app but,why would you want to overclock you'r HOX?
maybe to keep your hands warm
You can underclock and set Power Saver frequency set different values.
Hum, doesnt seems to work.
I set it to 1GHz and check with system tuner time in state, it still shows freqs used above. Iam on franco kernel/Charamander ROM.
Perhaps iam missing something

i believe some form of tegra power management currently over rides these cpu apps, they will need to be update before they will work.

Hmm.. I tested by running benchmark when I change the value then run benchmark I get lower scores. I don't have hard evidence. But since TP and HOX are using same SoC it's supposed to work rite?

Well i think its just not possible to throttle the CPU speeds at the moment. Didn't find a application that actually works.
SetCPU etc etc all fail at the job. Tegra chip is overruling them all the time it seems.

Yep, EZOverclock works just fine with my Transformer Prime.

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..

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.

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

..overvolt?
Anyway undervolting and CPU speed can definitely cause reboots. Some phones can't go beyond 1.2GHz and I know undervolting can cause instability when brought down too low.
Personally I haven't had a random reboot in as long as I can remember, but I also don't undervolt and I don't OC past 1.2GHz.
Well,I'm using sense rom in the moment,enabled swap and supercharge.. and oc it at 468-1458mhz.. =\ still reboot,does vm heapsize affect rebooting?

My phone's upper limit is also at 1.4GHz, runs stable on it, but haven't really felt the need for that. One thing that comes to mind is that your lower limit is pretty high. What governor do you use? Do you have a profile for screen off and what's the frequency fork there?
I would assume that with that setup the phone gets pretty heated, which could very easily cause random reboots. Any idea what temperature it usually runs on?

Maybe you should try lowering the upper limit to 1.2GHz for a while see if it makes any change... in the meantime it might be helpful to know:
a) Which specific rom are you using?
b) Any custom kernel?

Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app
The performance improves like hell, but I don't keep it over clocked all the time to 1.5. Generally, for me even 1.2 or 1.4 brings changes in overall performance. If your phone freezes on 1.5, then your pocesser isn't capable of handling it. So always over clock with care

I am running my One V at a 1.9Ghz overclock, and I see VERY little difference in battery life vs no overclock.
As long as you are using a sensible cpu scheduler (i use lionheart), and not using apps that burn through as much cpu cycles as possible, your battery life should not be affected much. The Screen and Wifi use far more battery

If you'll read my post, you'll see that includes web surfing, some on 3g, some on wifi. Kinda hard to do with the net shut off. And for the record, I dont use Whastup, Facebook, Twitter or any other social networking apps. I also use Autostarts to control the autorun permissions of my apps and the back button to kill them when I'm done. Nothing runs on my phone unless I want it to. Control your phone, don't let it control you.

I ran at 1.7 for a while with no problems, scaled it back to 1.5, didn't notice a big difference on the battery life before or after modding my speed. It's mostly the apps your using or network I find that drain your battery, not your cpu speed.

I use setcpu its my favorite works perfect and lots of features, u need a custom kernel if you want to overclock
Sent from my One V
Set CPU allows you to make profiles which is very very useful.
Single core 1G is under recommended requirement by android system nowadays. By overclocking it to 1.4~1.5G won't drain you extra battery because though you have been used more battery at higher clock rate but the time to spend on the process is shorter(spend less time to get it done) and hence, ended up the total consumption is more or less the same. However, this works only with single core system. On Dual/Quadcore S4 cpu, yep it will make your battery drop like hell when you do overclocking because you are overkill, wasting battery.
Modern Qualcomm S2 processor is very mature, it's safe to say every cpu is stable to run at least 1.4G. You will notice huge system speed improvement overall but I want to add that, use smartassv2 instead of on-demand governor after overclocking will make your battery better. I've personally overclocked to 1.5G(mySENSE-v RC3.5 + Titanium-KISS) and notice the battery gone quicker, switched to smartassv2 solved the problem.
SetCPU is good for single cpu only(our One V), it's not supported that well for dual/quad but it's profile is still the most user friendly in the world, good for noobs, you can set it screen-off(make the cpu slower).,etcs. However, almost all other folks are using Kernel Tuner now with dual/quadcore and it's also good for One V but requires a bit more technical knowledge.

In my attempts while porting the AT&T kernel I noticed the kconfig file has ACPU_CUSTOM_FREQ_SUPPORT set to default as "n" (no). So you will not be able to modify the cpu until I either get the AT&T port booting...or we get source code.
Same goes for the gpu...set to "n" as default.

Hmmmm, strange. I've been using trickster mod for the last several hours and my settings have stuck through two reboots . I enabled the "lock frequencies" option and my max is set to and has not exceeded 1242 MHz. It seems like the file you referenced refers to custom clock speeds. If that is in fact the case then it wouldn't be relevant in this situation since I am not attempting to change the available clock speeds but rather simply change the min and max which seems to be successfully accomplished using trickster mod.
