yes i searched first
Ive heard that hero beta 4 works best with overclock at 528.
I have open overclock app and it enables me to set min and max frequency, which i dont fully understand the logistics of just that it pushes the hardware to function faster (maybe not?). How do i achieve 528? What do i set min and max on, thanks?
A general overview of overclock would be nice too, like when what settings are appropriate. thanks again

How would i go about changing the cpu speed tht the rom has set it at. Like if cyan's rom is at 528 n i want max to be 328...how would i do tht ? wht file to mod ?
Instead of touching mods, better off using either SetCPU or the Open Overclocker widget, both available on the market or here. Just run a search.
The open overclocker widget in the market is fantastic. On cupcake I have mine set to 128-384 and set to 128 constant when the screen is turned off to conserve power.
Not just to hijack the thread, but AdrianK, at those settings do you find wake up too slow? For example when you get a phone call? I used to do the same as you, now I have it as 245 constant when screen is off and 384-528 when on.
Hey guys i appreciate ur replies but i wanted a way to implement it in the rom itself so i dont have to run a widget...thnx though..
SetCPU isn't a widget, its an app that you only need to run once and that's it. However I'm not sure if SetCPU also allows you to set the screen off frequency though which saves you even more battery life.
As for editing the ROM yourself to set the CPU speed, I can't help you there I'm afraid. Not sure if it has been posted on the forum or not too but try a search.

Yes, SetCPU will allow you to have a screen off profile so you can set the speed while the screen is off, and when it is on. It does need to run in the background tho I think...
Hi all, I'm AWOL from the EVO forum while I get my wife's Hero set up.
I just loaded up DC 2.09 (latest / final release) and I'm working through SetCPU, but I saw one user at least who said DC automatically scales the CPU all by itself. So do I need SetCPU to get some battery benefits? The phone is screen-off a lot, mostly used for just calls, texts, and camera other than that, so if it will kick down to 245 automatically, that should save a lot of watts.
So do I need SetCPU, or will DC underclock out-of-the-box?
(Edit: I guess SetCPU gives me the OVERclock, doesn't it? Still, I'd like to know about DC's background so I know how to set up profiles, or even if I should.)
I haven't used DC in a while, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't come with the ability to underclock by default....I'm pretty sure it comes with a stock or very-similar-to-stock kernel that wouldn't have any different cpu speed settings. I could be wrong but nothing in the main OP of his post (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656690) suggests otherwise. That ability might be available in the DConfig settings somewhere, but I haven't used/seen it in a couple months to remember. Check there first.
If you don't see anything, you probably will want to use SetCPU or the OC widget to scale down. I'd also recommend using the Screen Off profile in SetCPU, to lower the max speed when the screen is off. Sounds like it would be a useful one for you.
This may not work with the included kernel, so if you don't see any results try a different kernel built specifically for use with OC/setcpu:
This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750170
or one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705074 for DC.
Hope this helps.
I searched but couldnt find a clear answer. Is there any reason my set cpu only goes up to 998 max?
That's the native clock speed of the CPU? I don't get your point
SetCPU isn't an over-clocking app, you want a higher speed, you have to flash a kernel that supports the speed you want.
I figured out my problem..I was running a sense rom on my G2 which let me overclock. Its been a while just got my nexus repaired and back from htc i just need a custom rom to overclock..sorry guys
Hello. How are you guys?
I was looking around the note's specs, and i've noticed the frequency rise and falls, but never quite appropiately... for example, it would be cool if would use only 1000 mhz profile for text, and 1400mhz for webpages... 800mhz for other tiny, not power hungry apps.
Is there an app like that? I used an app called cpu set, but the older version has a narrow selection of profiles, and i like simple but effective apps. I just didnt find one yet.
edit
I found what i needed.
The CPU already does that. By default we have the CPU governor "On Demand" which as the name states, raises or lowers the CPU frequency depending on how it is being used.
On demand does use recources kind of random. I don't see why could use max frequency for switching windows. I quite like it to be optimum speed. A bit of fine tuning, with profiles... would be quite comfortable choice.
I think there are this type of apps
I am using the latest Arrrghhhs anykernel along with ROM toolbox pro to underclock my min clock speed to 96MHz and overclock my max clock speed to 1890MHz. Im using ondemand as my cpu governor and row as my i/o scheduler. I have the option to overvolt and undervolt using ROM toolbox as well. I did some searching but cannot find any info specific to the Atrix HD. I was just curious if anyone has tinkered with this much and if so what have you found to be the best clock speeds/governor/scheduler/voltage combination. I've never really heard anything about overvolting, what if any benefits can come from this? Also what is the most you have been able to undervolt with causing a bootloop or other issues? On my old S3 I had a app that would test if your settings were stable by running different processes to put a heavy load on the device. You could run it as long as you wanted but I had learned if it reported no errors after 10 mins it was usually pretty stable at those settings. I cannot remember the name of the program and searching turned up nothing, I was hoping someone knew of it or knew of one that does the same thing. Thanks in advance for any help!
