Hi, I've just managed to get my SGTab running on Overcome 1.4.5, very happy with the performance.
Wanted to check out SetCPU and Voltage Control and its hard to get some decent info for recommended settings, I'm a n00b at this rooting/custom ROM business (still running a stock nexus one lol, didn't want to risk tinkering with my phone but tablet is classed as nonessential so I dived right in).
- what is the recommended scheduler in voltage control?
- is setcpu needed if all you want to do is undervolt (for battery life)?
- what undervolt is 'safe'?
Right now I'm not running setcpu, and I'm undervolting by 100mhz in all categories (is that correct?) using CFQ scheduler (which I'm guessing is the linux completely fair queue scheduler?). Seems to be working OK after 10 minutes testing LOL but are there any in depth guides to this OC/undervolting?

Please read the MOD EDIT of first post ty
My experience
I am currently using No Frills CPU to overclock to 1400.
Somepeople on the forum have then undervolted by -200 across all speeds, but I am working up slowly and have so far got to -100 across the board with no problems at all.
In any event, the general opinion seems to be that each tab can be very different due to production variances, so it only rule seems to be test for yourself.
Good luck
This is the wrong section but it you read the overcome section just two days ago this question was discussed.
I've written a hopefully comprehensive guide on this, and many other tweaks,which you should be able to get on the first post on the Overcome thread.
Please note that it's not appropriate to create such a thread in the development section of this forum. Next time, you should post such questions in the appropriate sections such as the general or the Q&A section, or ask in the Overcome thread itself. Let's not clutter the Dev section with such posts?

overclocked on mine to 1.2ghz with no problems, although i dont really keep it up that high about 800 or 1000 is good for slow apps or going through photogallery or a bit of astro file manager.
Thanks for posting the two guides, I have stickied them
Back on topic, it would be nice to see the browsing speed difference between a Nexus One and a Milestone @ 1.0-1.2 GHz. I used to have a Milestone, and at the stock 550MHz it was at least 5 seconds slower than the Nexus on bigger sites.

Hi all,
I realize this is a post about a Motorola phone but please bear with me.
As you might know, the Milestone firmware is firmly locked, unlike its cousin Droid. Among many things, this forbids overclocking because we can't change the kernel and unlock new frequencies.
However I developed a solution that allows overclocking by changing key structures directly in the kernel memory in runtime. All you need is a rooted phone; no flashing involved. For this to work, the module must know two memory addresses that are specific to each kernel. Fortunately, Motorola appears to have reused its kernel on most 2.1 firmwares, and I've yet to come across a firmware where it doesn't work by default. Confirmed working are Central Europe, Telus and Brazilian firmwares. Testers are welcome to give it a try.
Now for the relevant part for XDA: in theory this can be applied to any kernel on any other phone. You may say it's unneeded because you can already overclock; but you must flash a specific kernel to get a particular speed. It would be much better to be able to set any maximum frequency/voltage on the fly without flashing or rebooting. For instance, you could overclock to 1.0 GHz before a browsing or gaming session and then return to a lower frequency like 600 MHz, though still overcloked, for battery savings and safety. It's up to you.

Hi man, thanks
For users who are unsure on how to use Milestone Overclock, here's a guide for you! http://droidbar.net/2010/10/how-to-overclock-your-motorola-milestone/
I remember seeing a post discussing the apps needed to fully utilize the kernal...as well as recommended voltage settings...if anyone knows what i'm talking about would you please post the link or links? Thanks.
You will find the glitch thread in the captivate development section. It has everything you need. Also, there's no beta 3 yet

The Live OC guide is linked right under the downloads.
Use Voltage Control app from market to OC and UV
use NSTools to UV and LiveOC
both work very well
No, please don't keep on giving false info. I know you're new and all, but Use NSTools period!
Nstool is a tad more complicated to use and to recover from. That being said If OP has no intention to Live OC then Voltage Control is perfect and simple. If he does want to Live OC then NsTools. Do not mix and match.
Opinions? Currently I'm using system tuner pro but on reboot it sometimes changes settings on me and I've used set cpu too but heard there are issues with it as well. Any suggestions on a faithful cpu controller?

I am now trying antutu cpu master pro and it seems pretty good with a good bit of options. Anyone used it?
From the Beast : Galaxy Note
i have set cpu pro ,,cpu master pro,,, tegrak ultimate and voltage control extreme but best app for ov or uv tegrak overclock ultimate or voltage control extreme i like both but i use voltage control extreme its pretty simple app give it a try u will definately like it
Thread Moved To Q&A
All questions go in the Q&A section Please
Tegrak or voltage control paid both doing joob good, but carefull not all custom kernels support tegrak either partial or fully. So in this case voltage control is better its like good old setcpu with a bit of more options.

I was just requesting opinions, thought it was a little different than an actual question, sorry.
Now move the 57 actual question threads from the general section while you're at it

Hi guys,
I am not new to using custom ROMs but I would like to understand a bit more about optimizing my beautiful phone to my needs.
I am running the latest stable CM and just today flashed Iodak kernel 0.7
I understand with using Trickster MOD I can do a lot tweaking - but I don't understand most of what I can do there and whether it would actually make things "better" for me.
Here's my request:
Can you tell me how I should set parameters in Trickster and explain at least in short why?
I do not game on my phone, I use it mostly for social interaction and navigation, therefore I suppose I don't need max power, I am rather interested in good battery times while not loosing the smoothness of use.
Thanks in advance.

Your needs is same as mine...What ive done using trickster mod is changed Governor/Scheduler..On SmartDimmer, Disable FSync, Undervolt all frequency...As undervolting values varies with your usage...As mine, i lower down most of the freq above 1000Mhz and below that freq, i undervolt as medium value as i can, to be exact, 25mv each...
As Governor, read up about each governor behavior and find the one that most suited you, same as Scheduler...
I'd prefer Interactive+Sio...Hope this helps

True, but the description was "general chat, tips & tricks, etc" and I thought that pretty much hit it.
Sorry if I thought wrongly.

If you have a question, always in Q&A if its a small rom/kernel issue or bug report that's usually wecome on the respective thread as long as its relevant

My qustion is like the title of the thread and in details if it is possible to tell me which is the best combination for powersaving and normal performance for better battery life )
There is a Q and A section for that

Topic has been reported by me so that it can be moved to the correct place.
As an answer on your question: NONE.
You have to play with the settings to find the perfect match for your useage.
Remember: ROW aint working on our device properly so it has been removed in most kernels.

Thank you very much for the guidance and please take my apologies for not knowing how the things work around here but I`m just a novice ) Many 10x again )
