Hello,
Until yesterday i never OCed my desire, I had DJ Droid rom and it was always smooth and slick in terms of interface and apps jumpiness.
Yesterday I decided to try the 1384Mhz rom from OpenDesire. Done full wipe of course, installed the ROM, then after the installation my Desire was pretty hot (probably due to all sync apps work) even before i installed set cpu or did any OC.
Then I said, ok lets try OC, I installed Set CPU, And tried 1300Mhz level and also the maximum levels. and it froze up, i had to pull off the battary and reboot.
Then I tried 1272, Again froze up during browsing...
Then I tried 1Mhz and ran stress test for long, no errors no freez ups.
However, OpenDesire wasnt slick and smooth for me, I mean during sliding the apps menu, it was not smoooth i felt some slowdowns... same about the main interface windows slide right/left. especially with live wallpapers from some kind.
Is it normal? Could I damage something in my CPU/GPU due to this OC? Which causing this?
I tried even full wipe and again from zero placing the OD rom...still had same feeling of none smoothness.
thanks
Any ideas?
I had this problem. I usually leave my Desire overnight so it can sync, titanium backup, fix permissions etc.
After installation of OD, I find that just signing in, then rebooting, installing extras like statusbar then rebooting, then titanium restore, fix permissions, then a reboot usually sorts me out, leaving my desire on sync overnight (market is very slow after fresh install for me =/)
Very long process
OD supports ext3 for A2SD+. Some users have reported that they had problems with several A2SD roms because they haven't got a ext2/3 partition, or a ext4 which I don't think is supported on OD. This can slow a rom down severely, as the phone is looking for the sd-ext partition.
Final mention would be setCPU itself.
Saying this, I have had issues with the performance scaling or whatever it is called... the "interactive", Ondemand, powersave etc.
I dont trust interactive scaling atm (had alot of FC on Pinkys and OD 3.5), as it seems relatively new, and still has some kinks.
Sticking with ondemand, with a sampling rate of about 20k and a CPU threshold of about 85%, I have pretty good performance. I have found that upon starting up setCPU on OD 3.5.2, the settings are 20k/11% which could be your problem.
Tried now GeFrost, well the apps icons panel ( 5 pages long...) when sliding again had freezy/laggy feeling....I've wiped GeFrost and installed LeeDroid rom with Sense UI, Now i feel good again I suspect that "none sense UI" Simply not for my touch and feel style... Sense UI feels much more smoother just like DJ droid rom i had...
So my CPU isnt damaged and could not get damaged from what I did... right?

Your CPU could have been damaged from overclocking - I'm not saying that it has been, but there is always an element of risk when you overclock.
If you really want to overclock, my advice is to always start low and then incrementally increase. If you get to a point where the phone starts to become unstable, drop the speed back down a notch.
Furthermore - not all CPUs are made equal. Just because someone else manages to overclock their CPU to 1384MHz doesn't mean that you will be able to - it's just the luck of the draw.

Dave
Hey,
Thanks for your answer.
Well on regular clocks its not freezing up to the level where I need pull off the battary...Something that indeed happened to me on OD with OC.
So far LeeDroid rom works smooth.
How can i find out if my CPU got damaged?
Anyone else had such lock ups which needed battary pull off, with OC on Desire?
Thanks!
Whenever you use a OC kernel, you run the risk of damaging the internals.
Non of the internal components are EXACTLY the same. Some can support lower voltages, some can substain higher Clockspeeds.
My lockups with OD is purely on the SetCPU settings.
Have you got a EXT3 partition on your SDcard? Because I see LeeDroid supports Froyo A2SD, while OD&DeFrost Ports are all LegacyA2SD
This may be the problem, instead of a issue with your internals, as the internals would most likely fail/rapidly overheat altogether if there was a problem.
Well I think my desire is warm as usual... not warmer. Only time it was really warmer then usual. Was when i just installed the OD rom and market was syncing all my massive list of apps all together which i think caused CPU over work but thats was even before i installed set cpu and did any OC....
Anyways LeeDroid now works i think as smooth as DJ droid. without any OC.
As for your question about EXT3 How do i check that? could this cause the lock ups with set cpu while using OD oced?
thanks
ext3 is a linux filesystem partition that you would of installed onto your SDcard, either by RomManager or Linux LiveCD/Linux OS
As your unsure, I'm pretty certain that you have not partitioned your SDcard. With A2SD+ (which are both on the OD and Frost roms), the phone is told to read Apps and delvik cache from the SDcard. This means no applications are actually installed on the phone, but the "internal" memory is now the ext3 partition on your SDCard.
Ext3 is required for both OD and De/GeFrost roms.
With this, it sounds like your CPU is fine, as LeeDroid is running fine, and that you are using Froyo A2SD.

Thank you for your kind help.
Should Desire feels warmy in hand during its being connected to computer's USB?
Thanks!
Yea, thats usual. There is still power coming from the computer to charge the battery, so its fine.
I've had my phone hit about 50 Celsius on several occasions, while I've fell asleep ontop of it while playing music, and so far, no visible damage to performance etc
Again, the issues with OD just seem to be based around the lack of a ext3 partition on your SDcard, so don't worry too much about the CPU being damaged.
Just be cautious in the future with OC, and never OC more than you need It can drain more battery, and end up breaking your phone (in extreme cases).

Thank you so much,
So indeed OD / Gefrost was an EXT3 issue (lock ups, super slow down and lock ups which caused battary pull offs). How can i confirm this?
While DJ droid and LeeDroid working smooth with Sense UI.
thnx!
Only way is to reformat the SDcard, either with Rom Manager which is easiest (available for free on Android Market) or a Linux variant. This will remove all data currently on the SD, so back up everything
Add a ext3 partition to your SDCard (swap size is unnessacary), and install OD/GeFrost.
There will be a major boost in performance compared to previous times.
Hi,
actually i running CM7 XboarderMOD V3.0.1 with Kernel [email protected]#1 downclocked Wake 245/768 Ondemand Sleep 245/315. Launcher GO EX With some AddOns
Batterylife is not really good but quite ok.
Now im looking for a ROM which is more faster, or only a Kernel.
What can i try.
Since today i have a new problem: suddenly the Music player starts to play any song without request that. what the hell is wrong with this thing.
I was figuring out to try the actual ILWT-388, but not shure if its really faster.
What could increase my device speed? Whats about EXT4 or all the Kernels.
My Device is actually starting random apps without request (no idea if this is normal or not) but it runs out of Memory and i need to terminate the processes via the launcher. then i have 100/367MB RAM available. What do you think about a SWAP partition? (i use a class 10 SD Card) If swap is kindly necessary; how to install/activate it?
Hope my english is readable
Thanks for some discussions.
So far Nissl
XboarderMOD? It's pretty old honestly...
If you want CM7 you can go for a number of choices...
Personally, I've tried ILWT and EliteMod and they're both excellent.
ILWT is absolutely amazing because you can customize it before installing, and being able to do that is absolutely essential for people who go back and forth through ROM's. It also has plenty of memory free (I always have close to 150MB free when idle), and is very, very, VERY fast.
For EliteMod, I honestly haven't tested it nearly as much but it has great battery life if you take advantage of all the tips the dev offers. It's also in the same league with ILWT when it comes to speed.
To increase speed, I'd go with SuperCharger V6 using the SuperMinFree Calculator's settings. (Go to the Cust-OOM-izer, it will prompt if you want to use them there)
One other thing I've tried was "Sick Speed Tweaks". It is pretty nifty, here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267945
Lastly...swap, if anything, is going to degrade your battery life and SDCard lifespan (quite drastically in some cases). It's a BAD idea to use it, even on a Sense 3.X ROM, much less for a CM7 one, which already has tons of RAM free.
i Thank you so much bro.
i want to try ILWT first then on my second G2 the EliteMod.
I post my experience later.
Thanks again.
One Question: Which launcher should i try for enjoy most speed?

LAuncherPro or zeam launcher! The best in my opinion!
Inviato dal mio HTC Desire Z usando Tapatalk
I use ADW EX (paid version). It's totally worth it as it's really smooth, and is theme-able. If you don't want to pay I guess what you're already using (GoLauncherEX) and the above suggestions are quite nice.
So here again.
Im running ILWT 388b and its ok, the ram problem is gone, for now.
One simple question. Im setting with "ILWT CM7 Settings " the CPU clock to Ondemand 245/576 MHZ but it will not hold these settings. It sets to 245/1113 by itself.
Anyone an idea to prevent this?
You can use Clock Daemons, like CPU Tuner or SetCPU, it works wonders
Here are 2 Clock settings in the Menu in the CM7 Settings and in ILWT Tools.
My problem could be that the two menu have a conflict. Settings i set seems to reset by itself (the other setting menu?)
I already tried it with edit the configurationfile manually. Seems that is not working, too.
Should i edit the OC-Kernel setting conf?
i dont know what to do, cause i don't really want to install another SetCPU app or something. =)
now the settings with the config file from ILWT tools are:
Wake 245760/768000 conservative
sleep 245760/245760 conservative
charge 245760/1017600 ondemand
temp 245760/768000 conservative
battery 245760/768000 conservative
I think it scales higher than 768mhz because i got every time more than 2000points with Quadrant, same if i set the OC to Ondemand till 1GHZ.
LAuncherPro is fastest launcher i had (including GO Launcher and ADW launcher) .. It´s simplier than other two, but much faster.
Hi there, well im just asking for help. My device 800i is lagging as hell and i just dont know why. since 2 days now, i tried everything offered here and its just getting worse. My two setups i tried are :
Basic : 800i, 16gb Sandisk cls4
A: Stock Rom .62
Kernel Doom v11 , bfq and SmartAss V2 ->1107 mhz
Supercharger v6 U9Rc7 with Option 7 and 20
Link2SD, 2nd Partition ext3
=> Micro Stuttering and furthermore, all games pauses itselfs like it needs to reload or something. YES, I mean Pauses, the pause-screen do appear in every game, in short periods
I switched to Doom v10 cause i thought microstuttering came from the gpu-oc. yupp it got fixed, but still get those "Force-Pause"-Screen
B: JokaWild Rom V2.5
Kernel Doom v10 , sio and SmartAss V2 ->1107 mhz
Supercharger v6 U9Rc7 with Option 7 and 20
Link2SD, 2nd Partition fat32
=> Oh my...this is even worse. instead of microstuttering or pause-screens (which seems to be gone here) its like periodically lagging as hell.I cant really describe, its just so heavy lagging. In between though, it runs super fast (until it gets its mega lag-cycle.
now, i dont know what to do..im getting like crazy cause everything just runs ****ty....i dont even want to start with a gameloft game, cause they are already "special"....this + my lagging would turn out to a flying xperia ...if ya know what i mean
please help me, thx in advance
i do however prefer stock, cause it runs "fluentlier"...just this pause-screen-reloading-crab annoys me haaaaardd
Im having the same problem bro, any help would be great
Sent from my R800i using XDA
okay first i thnk i will revert back to supercharger v6 u8

have you tried moving your apps to your sd card? how much internal memory do you have? have you tried other troubleshooting tips posted here in the forums?
I am using JokaWild v2.5 (see my signature for more details) and my Xplay is extremely stable and fast and no battery drain issues or lags. Have you tried factory reset in settings menu? any task killers installed? clear cache and memory? maybe you have corrupted backup and no antivirus at all?
debloat the rom? found my phone significantly sped up after deleted all the unneeded stock apps and timescape stuff.
thx bro´s and a special "salamat" to my fellow-countryman
i actually tried both of your advices too. (Besides the 400+mb trick) just no luck :/
my actual plan is to : (this is kind of a guide i guess ^^)
* Format my sdcard (16gb) to 14,3gb Fat32 - Rest ext4
* Revert to Stock 62
* Doing a Factory Reset
* Flashing Doom v10 (without baseband .36)
* After a Restart, Flashing the needed zips (like wifi-modules, bravia etc)
* Setting bfq and smartass v2
* installing the "tweak.apk" for touchscreen-tweak and gpu-home-rendering
* (Optional) the 400mb+ internal memory thing
* getting link2sd for auto-moving to 2nd partition
* reinstalling my apps
* debloating my Fw
what do u think? any tips? thx in advance
I had lag this week, R800i .42 firmware, micro-stutter, and forced pause mode on at least one game. That was Gangstar Rio, which is a very buggy game anyway, but also just web browsing caused a lot of annoying stutter. I don't use task killers, and have always had frozen bloatware since rooting. But it's working well again now after restoring a lot of stock settings:
- Downgraded Doomkernel from v11 to v10. I don't think my GPU likes being overclocked either. My 3D benchmark in Antutu was consistently a bit lower. But now it seems I can now O/C to 1.4GHz on Doomkernel v10, at the 1GHz stock voltage if I want to, I'm just not sure how comfortable I am with O/C-ing habitually.
- Un-supercharged v6 U9Rc7.
- Restored my original backup of build.prop. Something in it caused my CPU to top out at 921MHz on boot, but restoring the build.prop also seemed to make that and a lot of lag go away. I have no idea what I did to it
- Went through the options in PowerAmp and ensured anything pertaining to an auto-scan of library was switched off.
- Went back to normal CPU settings of 1017/249 ondemand. Trying the lowest clock for the min speed and SmartAssV2 gave me my one and only bootloop (may have been a coincidence).
- Uninstalled some unused games from internal memory - can retreive them from the Market or from TB if I need them. This probably made no real difference as I only gained about 5MB or so.
After a day or so, my phone runs fine now.
I am an Android newbie though, so while that worked for me, I'm not confident about my own "advice" for other people...
yeah i got this 921mhz thing on boot too, but it is fixáble by setting it to 1017 in voltage control as an init.script.
----
i somehow have the feeling the lag heavily depends on the sd card. it is a sandisk cls4 which is good according to a thread here in forums but i think that there must be something wrong with it...hell i dont even know if i already exceeded the lifespan lol ^^
^ Yes I found that worked, but I didn't want to have to rely on boot scripts to fix something that wasn't broken when I was fully stock
I have a Sandisk Class 4 as well... 32GB not 16GB, but I think they're pretty tried and trusted. I read the forums heavily before buying the card as well. I've never really had lag before this week (other than when I'd just closed a heavy game like GTA, and the launcher needed to redraw etc)
exactly what i did too. i came to the idea that my sd may broke because everything feels like it needs to reload. i think sluggish is the right word to describe it.
are u using supercharger?
^ I don't have supercharger installed now, but that's mainly because my logic was to put everything back to how it was. I wasn't sure what effect it had on performance other than to keep the launcher in memory.
i can confirm that laggyness will decrease with it. but tbh in the latest rc... i think its too agressive for my device which leads me to use the old v6 u8

have you tried setting your read/write cache to higher than 2048? do not use voltage control or antutu I've tried those before and they only drain your battery use sytem tuner as it has everything you need. I set my read/write to 6041 and it speeds up apps loading time. I use transcend for my 16gb sd card and only costs 1.5k+ pesos. I do not use link2sd as zdbox has built in feature to move apps to sd card like app2sd. You can also try moving apps through Titanium backup. Try tweaking your startup apps as well (use system tuner). "Sakin ka maniwala kababayan"
Hello,
I'm reactivating this thread since I cannot talk with samm every now and then to update the OP from this thread here.
What works:
It is stable for a daily driver but there are definitely things that doesn't work. For starters, the Hero is too small for ICS since we don't have any GPU posibility. Adreno 130 drivers are oh, too small and too bad for animations on ICS, they suck even in GB and Froyo. Still, the statusbar and fling are much smoother than other android releases because that's how ICS is built. It is more RAM friendly and it looks, well, sexy!
Will try and update this rom when it will be possible. We might jump on the bandwagon of 4.0.4 if I can make it to move faster than it moves right now (yes, I have an experimental build).
If one of you want to join me to develop this rom further, send a PM and I will send you some details about what is in the works, how far it is. I know there are few people that can work on builds here on Hero thread but if we work together, we can pull this out one more time.
FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR:
- YOUR BRAIN
- YOUR HOUSE
- YOUR PHONE!
ON with the ROM. What has been changed:
Added:
Code:
- Google Music apk (yes, official google music app);
- Explorer.apk
- Latest and greatest LV Kernel 1.2+
- Revert to Evtoolbox back from 4.0.3 builds
- Set the cpu to scale at 352-672 from startup
- Tweaked the build.prop a little (added some experimental lines)
Why this is v3?
Because the memory management inside the kernel (remember, INSIDE THE KERNEL) is tweaked and fixed to nice values in order to allow our hero to better multitasking (you can find these values in my other rom called 1ceCream BEAST Flavor). No need for tweaks in init.d to do the job, no bull****.
Just plain and simple!
If you are texting someone, sending an email, playing a game, doing something, and you are locking the screen, after unlocking you will find that the application is ON the screen, and is not closed how it is in many other roms for hero. The multitasking with my values is so much better, you will definitely like it!

Click to collapse
The rom moves fast, even if it is ICS, I have the animations on and no force GPU in Developer settings and it is still moving so much fast than the older builds.
Overall, I am happy with this release and I hope you will be too! Post me some of your opinion and tell me if it is fast or am I dreaming!

If you make these changes maybe you'll see better performance, the hero can't handle dithering on anything higher than stock GB or Sense froyo and doesn't have enough RAM for 48mb of dalvik heapsize. I may be wrong but these always worked for me in the past altough ICS is supposed to be better on RAM.
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
dalvik.vm.heapsize changed to 24m or 32mb

Good work. Flashing now.
How about keeping this as lite as possible, only the absolute essentials pre-installed, everything else as optional zips / apk. For instance, I personally have no use for the music player.
I would really like to see a bare bones, fast and stable ics rom where you just add what you need.

Unexpected reboot just as I was about to install Opera Mini. Followed by: "New Sim Detected, reboot required." Never seen that before.
I've applied CSL00's values.
Wonder if V6 Supercharger or Auto Memory Manager can improve things.
Play Store is noticeably faster. Unsure if was CSL00's values or the introduction of AMM.
Regarding the error message: 'No more room on this home screen.'
In Play Store app. Menu > Settings > Deselect Auto-add widgets.
Second unexpected reboot, otherwise things are getting faster. No wifi issues, BT still won't pair.
Running AMM on 'Aggressive.'

dalvik execution mode was on fast until I changed it in the last second to "jit".
vm.heapsize was changed to 48 because I was testing 32 mb and I saw that it takes a little while to enter in one application. With 48 mb the time is reduced somehow. Please feel free to change it to 32 mb if you want. Dithering, well here is a mistery, I don't know if this works in ICS. It does look a little better than with it changed to 0 and my phone can suport dithering pretty well.
About the reboots, please install set cpu and set your max cpu frequency to a respectable value such as 691 or lower. I suggest using governor smartassV2.
The whole rom does feel a little snappier but we have an issue when someone calls you and after 20 seconds the call gets interrupted. I'll look into that today after work and see if I can fix it somehow.
I've tried Supercharger, the V8 doesn't wanna start on ICS and when applied V6 with option 6, the phone just got stuck on bootloop.
The reason that I've made it like this with apk.s that you can easly uninstall is that I didn't want you guys to have to flash any other optional zips or anything. But as I said, feel free to do what ever you want and uninstall those unused apps.
Oh, If you want to try supercharger yourself, you have to first delete these scripts from /etc/init.d:
03tweaks
04netspeed
05fixsdcardspeed
06loopy_smoothness_tweak
15cleanup_init_ram
16sqlite_optimize
17speedy_modified
Just to avoid any unexpected issues.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE, make a LOGCAT while you are in a call and save it to a txt? I want to see if we can narrow down the problem of disconnecting. I am unable to make a logcat atm.
1ceb0x, back to using your original build.prop, and Setcpu. Things seem more stable.
I'm looking for a notification toggle (cm-style) that has no icon when running (or only hides it, leaves a space.)
I will make a logcat, but I've tried aLogrec and all it seems to produce is an empty file. Should it not be dumping info on any activity I do?

Seems stable than samm000's build.prop?
Glad to hear this.
As for the logcat, you cannot use any of the readers on the market because they will not work on ics. I've tried to make a log using android sdk but it seems that we need a file called 'main' in /dev/logs. I tried to make the file manually but then I've encountered an EOF read error on cmd. I forgot to make permissions for the respective file. Will make it again now and see how it goes.
As for cm notification toggle, I don't know what are you talking about. The notification toggle on ICS is nicer than any other available .
Tell me if you have calls issue (your call is disconnected after some seconds)?
Well it is probably more stable because I reduced the cpu speed.
In a voicecall now, 2mins+. Call lost around 3 mins.

10 minutes without disconnecting? What's your settings on network? GSM ONLY, or WCDMA preferred?
(to see this, please go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* , then go to Phone information, scroll down and you will see the value above the button "Turn Off Radio").
as default the version is WCDMA preferred. What Radio firmware are you using?
also, did you installed Habarug's tweak to hide the end button call during a call? (it's in samm000's thread).
this information will be helpful! cheers
WCDMA preferred. Radio: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
I have not installed Habarug's tweak.

It was 22mins when I ended the call myself.
Regarding notification toogle this is what I mean: 15 toggle status bar as implemented in this rom. Check the video.
Very ODD.
I have 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 on my device with WCDMA preferred but I keep getting call disconnected after 10 seconds or so.... regarding the notification status bar power widget, I don't know what to say. I'm not a dev so...
i'm trying to find a way to make a log cat of the calling issue because I don't really want to change my radio because my version seems to be battery friendly...
thank you for your support
Obviously the notification thing isn't even important right now. I shouldn't really have mentioned it.
I thought this radio was considered one of the best to be using, and find the battery life to be good on it.
Don't know if its the best really. But I've flashed it anyway. Since this will end my calling interrupt, it will be a small price to pay if the battery doesn't play well.
Will test the voice calling. Btw, I am maybe working on RC2, with some new tweaks and fixed latinime.apk keyboard..
can confirm right now that the latinime.apk is fixed.
@Habarug: are you using my mod or sam's rom?
Thanks lost, will try your radio, im on .14 atom
Just to clarify, the radio I am using still has calls dropping with ics. It seems to happen at random times. 1 minute into a call, 3 minutes or not at all. Maybe it's because of the numbers I am ringing. I can't be sure they would not drop anyway. But it sounds like it is doing better than some other radios.
Also, what about having a build based off ics 4.0.4?

we have to fix this issues first and then talk about another version. anyhow, 4.0.4 is much laggier than this version. i saw a bit of logcat and some awkwardly errors regarding the "animations" but i was unable to save the log for future use.
I've asked Maclaw, a dev from Galaxy Gio/Fit/Mini who made CM9 possible on those device to look at our build and maybe with some luck he can see something that make this calls drop...
managed to past 3 minutes in call with your radio version lost101. cheers
L.E: I am unable to send PM's. so i cannot ask Maclaw for help.. too bad! I'll just have to post on their op!
Come on people.. test the build!
EDIT: *lighter, forgot to check spelling. Lol
So my Evo 3D has finally called it quits and I have one month left till I leave Sprint so my friend gave me this phone that he doesn't use any more. For such an old phone I really can't complain about it, compared to my Evo 3D which runs CM 10.1 too it never crashes, always has GPS, 3G, 4G working fine and the battery lasts me all day. So I'm in love. But my one and only issue is it is extremely slow. And no I will not leave CM 10.1 as I use Google Now very often but if their are huge differences/opportunities for huge differences I'll go down as low as CM 10 or a different 4.0+ ROM.
So I was wondering is there a lite version of CM 10.1, recommended kernels that support both overclocking and undervolting, can someone explain how to make a swap partition on the SD card, and so on, just any ways to free up RAM, speed up the CPU/GPU, and lighten the load of the OS.

"Light version": do it yourself with a root-enabled explorer. Google and you'll know what system apps can be deleted.
OC&UV kernel: Nitest maybe.
Swap: IDK
Free up RAM and speed up: I personally use Autostarts and Advanced Task Killer (Pro), but Greenify seems easier to use. You get ~80MB free RAM after a clean install, but can get 190~220MB after heavily using these. I don't use gapps so YMMV.

I've already deleted every system app I'm comfortable removing using Root Uninstaller. After having everything I have to have installed on the phone, with as many apps set to not run in the background that I can and Greenify helping too, I tend to have 10-70MB of RAM free, it tends to be 15-35MB free though. I don't use task killers since all they do is play cat and mouse and waste battery, and tried a few auto start managers but can't really get into using it with how complicated they are. Right now the main thing I want to figure out is getting a swap partition up and running since that sounds the most promising with how little RAM this phone has.
Did a backup and switched to the nitest-0721 kernel and so far it's doing good. Disappointed the OC only goes up to 1.2GHz but it's better than nothing (don't understand kernels that limit how much you can OC when it's up to you to find how much your phone can OC), hopefully I can find a way to get it to go higher, and the "voodoo color" is weird but I can install a different version of the kernel to remove that if my eyes don't adjust first. Anyways... my free RAM now stays between 100-200MB, usually about 160MB, with 18% zRAM, purging of assets, and samepage merging enabled which is amazing. Apps are opening faster and don't stutter anywhere near as much as before, so I'm happy but will see how things go tonight when I go to work and am playing with it on and off, along with need to find a way to really overclock it.

Try going with one of didhiy's nitest kernels and maybe a different AOSP ROM, like AOKP, PAC, etc. Or try out SuperNexus even. That's an extremely lightweight ROM with no customization options (Its straight up stock Android, just like a brand new Nexus phone), but its fast and quite stable from what I remember.

Or find one of didhiy's nutest kernels, those have live oc, more free ram, and i believe it goes to 1.4 GHz. I'm not sure though. But it is less stable than nitest

Well I've run this kernel for a week or so now with the smartassv2 governor and min/max at 100/1200MHz. Zero reboots unless I'm playing Minecraft the entire phone locks up other than the button lights, no matter what I do it crashes sooner or later but oh well I'm bored of that game just wanted to see if it'd play on this phone. ANYWAYS I've heard of it being done before but can't find any info on how to do it, how can I overclock past what the kernel allows (1.2GHz), I've seen reports of this phone handling 1.5GHz and want to see if I can reach 1.4.

The frequency is still limited by the kernel...
1.5GHz is history (too unstable and hot so that devs stopped including it), and only Gingerbread/ICS custom ROMs can get that frequency via flashing corresponding Sanders/Shadow/Samurai kernels and overvolting as well, which is definitely not good.

I just seriously hate kernels that limit how high you can overclock instead of making OC options to unreachable levels letting you find your phones limits. People make kernels, roms, hacks, etc so we can get around limitations that the hardware vendors put up. So if we've managed to circumvent the manufacturers blocks why are the same people that got around them making their own blocks, they already put up silly warnings about anything you install/do could break your phone but if you're going to give that warning it needs to be true. Anyways ending my rant lol...
I know their has to be a way to edit a kernel or file to add more options since the kernel creators can't do the job themselves, it's just finding out what and where these files are. Can anyone inform me on this and give me details on how this whole system of controlling clock speed works so it can be modded?

Uh, AFAIK, isn't these frequency decided only when the kernel is COMPILED (from source code)? I don't exactly know...
