So im running the RoDrIgUeZsTyLe froyo with the oc kernal and was playing around with Overclock widget and noticed that it will goto 1.2ghz..i know the kernel was for 1113ghz. Anyone tried using the higher setting? Would it be safe to just try it or ?
thanks
what for a wiget allows 1,2 Ghz ???
Overclock widget on the market
If u go into click here to define it allows 1.2ghz
heres a screenshot taken by shoot me
Even if you set it to 1200 it'll only let your device go as high as 1113. Give it a try
Edit: just saw your screen shot. That's interesting.

yes you can set it to 1,2 Ghz but you get just 1,114 Ghz not more
better to use setCPU the widget is not working right...
damn your right....i thought maybe it would work but ya i tried and just goes right back to 1113...oh well
thanks
Lol

u know i was using setcpu and i was charging my phone earlier while on a phone call and all of a sudden my temp went up to 104F
was set at 1113mhz....i've had it set at before and never had any temp issues the highest its ever climbed was like 97F...i know the back of the phone was hotter than all hell
just out of curiosity how come the Moto Droid uses a slower cpu than the nexus but yet the droid can be overclocked way past the nexus?
How would you know? I heard hell is very hot these days. Lol.
Its nothing unusual. Your phone is over clocked, you're charging and using your phone.
I suggest you lower down the Max freq while on charge.

really?!?!?! hmmmm... i'll have to try again. maybe my phone has ADD?
i heard that its not safe.. rumor has it that if you keep it like that for more then 3 days then your phone could spontaneous combust while talking on it on the 3rd day..
i would think running your phone at 768 all the time would kill your battery rather quickly?? what temp is your battery at regularly and how long are u gettin on a full charge with that kinda OC???

This is my first day doing this. I'll let you know how it goes.
ive ran mine @ 768 for over a month with no problems. I do have it set to 245/384 with the screen off though
768 for a month straight no issues so far.. 768 max 245 min..and 384/245 while screen off..
temps never get over 100C..

lol opps.. didnt see that..
Here, read this
I dont think so. 710 seems to be a safer bet. I ran 768 and if there was high load my phone would randomly reboot. Sure some users are reporting that it is running fine for them, but if it has problem for other users I would assume that 768 is on the high end.
710 vs 768 I dont see much of a difference.
Why in the world would you do this? Do you really need it running at 768 when you're sleeping? Wouldn't this just chew through batteries?

I run 768/748 with the screen on and when the screen turns off it's running at 556/245. Running beautifully and I have 24+ hour battery life
SETCPU is $2 Right?
Is there a free app?
Will this work on any rooted ROM on the hero?
Thanks

What's important for it to work is not the ROM, but if have an overclockable kernel (designated as [OC] usually), which is almost any I believe. Actually since SetCPU v2 you CAN use it for stock ROM and kernel too (but you have to adjust a setting after every reboot). Read about it in the link, it's the new beta feature called "perflock disabler."
hi I was wondering how high you can over clock your hero. I have to 758 mhz and it is perfectly stable. Is there any thing i can use to over clock it more.
768 is the highest I've seen.

I've heard that 710 is really the highest you can reliably run, I wouldn't risk the damage just to go that little bit higher.

Thats all I have seen to. I did here that you could get it a little over 900 MHz.

Im running 2.2. ShootMe doesn't work on this rom, go download and test for yourself.
im also running 2.2. if you wanna try it out for yourself download ([Rom] Darchdroid v2.7 "KangSlayer" | Complete, OC'd, MMS, Camera, Everything!!) I am at 768 MHz. I use setcpu, profiles. when the screen is off its at 518 MHz.

Mine is stable at 787 also.. Ever hero is different.. Iv also been running OC since the day toastcfh figured it out over 2 months ago. I have ran 768mhz min and max for an entire day with no problem (i was benchmarking and forgot). Some people cant even run 710mhz without there phone becoming unstable.
Also 768mhz is the clock speed most kernels are maxed at cuz the highest clock speed the hero can be clocked to with a benefit is 768mhz (darch will include 787 in his kernels sometimes). 787mhz will actually give the same or worse results as 768 because it, in a sense, clogs the CPU. We cant raise our FSB of the cpu.
Toastcfh, the reason who got us OC, has actually pushed it as far as he could go. He got way higher then 787. But like i said, there is not benefit of it.
Our phones wont blow up or stop working because the speeds are high. If you keep the temps down you really dont have anything to worry about, temps are the main reason why OC will kill the life of a CPU.
Awesome Information, Thanks.
I am using Setcpu on my motorola droid with rooted FRG22. Why wont it let me overclock it higher than 800mhz??? I'm kinda new to doing this and wondering if I'm doing anything wrong. Thank you
[A] Overclock answer
Yes you have SetCPU and your phone is rooted. However, you're missing one more piece to the puzzle. In order for you to clock over 800Hz you have to install a kernal cooresponding to the voltage and what you want to overclock it to. I recommend you googling(haha) p3designs and choose a kernal you want to try. Instructions are on the site as to how to install. I currently have a low voltage of 125Mhz overclocked at 1Ghz. Hope that helps
Question for you Stephen, with you running 1.2Ghz on your droid, has there been any istances of freezing thus far? I was tempted to go higher, though I stuck with 1Ghz to be safe.

The right approach to overclocking is not how fast can you go, but how low can you tolerate? Most Droids are stable to 1.2 ghz. Some can go higher, some can't. I'm running the "stock" 1ghz kernel that comes with Sapphire rom. However, I have it choked back to 800mhz. This gives me 36 hours of battery life on light-moderate use, (3G off, wifi on) but also lag-free performance.
This is chevys 1.25 medium voltage, only reboots were with watching movies online.

I understand what you mean. I've done the trial between 800Mhz and 1Ghz. I have emulators now and I liked the performance on the 1Ghz more because of the speed, so I kept it on 1Ghz. I haven't had any battery drainage issue and all. I liked my low voltage 1Ghz kernal.

That does sound impressive. I'm curious to try that out even more so now.
A few weeks ago when I still had my HTC Hero it was overclocked to 672Mhz (standard = 528Mhz). It gave me a little boost in performance on Froyo, also the batterylife wasn't decreased too much.
But with our N1 running on 1Ghz, will it give much difference when clocked to 1113/1152Mhz? And what about batterylife?
If SetCPU is used what are your settings then? Mine is currently running on stock speed, no SetCPU.

I have my nexus one rooted and flashed to MIUI Rom and clock @ 690mhz I get way better battery power. Before I would only get 6hr to 8hr if lucky now I get from 9hr to 13hr depending how much I use it.
set to 1.13 ghz
then screen off to minimum 245mhz

So you underclocked it, what about the speed? It's not to laggy?
Nexus one can run reasonably smooth @ 600mhz and above. It might not open applications as fast as it will be @ 1GHz though.
i think 1Ghz is enough for n1

I didn't said I want an overclock. It's allready very fast on 1Ghz (compared to my old Hero ), just wanted to know your thoughts about overclocking the N1.
im overclocked at 1152 mhz and profiles set for 245 max with screen off. Overclocking is nice because i like the snappiness but most people cant tell the difference between 998 mhz and 1152. its not needed to overclock but i think profiles help alot. just my two cents
Ok thx, I will try 1150Mhz and see (if it's stable and) what batterylife does. I'm also going to try underclocking.
I have my N1 only for a couple of weeks now and I must say, this phone is awesome. It's VERY fast compared to my old Hero. I remember when I was installing apps on my Hero it became very slow and couldn't do anything untill installing was finished. With the N1 you still can do things while installing apps without lag. The responsiveness and smoothness is also a lot faster. I loved my Hero Because it never let me down, ok it was all a bit slower, but it was getting there. Now with the release of Gingerbread (custom ROM) it became to slow for me and that's why I sold my Hero and bought the N1. It was very difficult to find one, because of the EOL (end of life). But eventually I found one and i'm very happy with it. The N1 is allready more 1 year old, but it still competes with the best phones out there.
I generally run overclocked at 1075MHz, which gives a good balance between battery power usage and processor power. My understanding is that a different voltage scaling method is generally used above 1075MHz, so power consumption will increase above that point.
Didn't knew the voltage would increase above 1075Mhz, will keep that in mind

This is, of course, dependent upon how the kernel is constructed, but this is what I have generally found to be true.
Give us some feedback
I overclocked it too 1075Mhz when screen is on (screen off 245Mhz). Will give my thoughts in a day or 2.
Just report that my battery drain is almost the same as on stock settings. I think it drains a tiny bit faster on 1075Mhz, but nothing major. On the other hand, I don't feel it's faster on 1075Mhz then on stock speed. Only benchmarks give me performance increase.
I'm now on CM6.1.1 with stock kernel (cyanogen), I tried other kernels like Wilmonks kernel,.. Although it was more responsive, battery was going down even faster. I get best battery results with stock kernel.
Hard to choose
more speed = more battery drain
less speed = longer battery
I think I stay with the last option (less speed = longer battery), because Wildmonks kernel doesn't give me enough performance increase over the stock kernel on stock speed.
I have mine at 998mhz, but overclocked 1152 while plugged into power.
Either way, its so easy to play with the clock settings, i'd just have a play with a bunch of different settings if i were you.

You can use SetCPU to create profiles based on different circumstances.
Me, I have mine clocked to a max of 1075 and min of 245 with the screen on, 576 max / 128 min screen off, 998/128 charging (to reduce heat - overclocking while power is applied can make it silly hot), and a failsafe to clock down to 576/128 if the temperature gets over 50*C.
Fabulous app.
Correct me if I am wrong. When you use setcpu to "ondemand", the CPU speed can ramp up to max whenever necessary, otherwise the speed will tune down to min especially in standby mode. In that way, you can enjoy the advantages of overclocking and underclocking the CPU speed i.e. increasing performance when needed and saving power when not in use, right? When I loaded Rod's MIUI and Wildmonk's kernel, I can underclock down to 128Mhz and overclock up to 1.152Ghz. At the end of the day, I still have over 60% of power left after not so heavily use (some web browsing, checking email and listen some music). Overall, setcpu is a great app for me.
What are the best settings to use on the droid 3 for overclocking?
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
I don't know the best settings, but I set it my SetCPU too low for my "ScreenOff" settings... So sometimes when I tried to turn my screen back on, my phone wouldn't have enough cpu power to turn itself back on... so make sure you don't set governors too low! easy enough fix though when you do.
don't think you can overclock until custom kernals are out.

Correct, but you can still set governors to under-clock and help battery-life.
I set my droid 3 to 800 mhz max, 300 mhz min, but the widget doesnt change, and if i open the app i can watch it jump to 1000 mhz. I have used setCPU on other phones, so I know how to work it.
Does setcpu not work with moto's hotplug governor? I've seen other forums say not to change that
If you set it to 300 and 800 or 600 using "ondemand" it works but the phone gets a little laggy.
Using "motplug" and trying to underclock freezes the device for me.
You can pull the battery to get it working again.

I looks like if you set the governor to anything but mot_hotplug the second core does not get deactivated with the phone is idle. So battery life may actually suffer.

I experienced this as well, but was using ondemand and 300-600 with screen off. Phone wouldn't turn on at all unless a battery pull was performed, scared me a bit to be honest until i realized what was happening. Decided to stick wit mot_hotplug until we get a custom kernel.
