Overclock and battery life +best rom

What clock frequencies are you guys using. I am running at 1ghz 59vsel and the battery life isn't as good as 550 mhz (I know it shouldn't be). What frequencies and vsels are you guys using and what's the battery life like.
Also what roms are you guys using. I'm on cyanogenmod7. I was on cronos gingerbread for a while but it doesmt seem to go on standby. Anyone help?

I'm running Bugless Beast (GPA 15 Beta) with a 1.25 ghz low voltage kernel + comp cache enabled. It's rare for me to need to plug in the phone more than once a day to charge. Just google Peter Alfonso. He not only develops the ROMs but the kernels as well. He's doing AOSP Gingerbread builds that I find to be superior to CM7.

Isn't Bugless Beast only for Droid? Because I think he might be asking about Milestone.

Sucks, I heard that Peter Alfonso's kernels are pretty beast at battery life.

chevyNo1 5.2, gb, best rom I have used, had bb for a while, cm6.2, droid mod. run at 900mhz, battery is good

Latest build of miui rom is very good. Good battery life. 1000 MHz with smartass governer.

Thanks for the help so far guys. I've found gingerbread roms rtather slow when it comes to gaming (probably because gingerbread has not been released officially to any sgx530 phones). The new froyo uk update is so damn fast. Its ultra smooth at 550mhz. Has anyone made a custom rom based on the new official 2.2 milestone update?

Right now I'm running on 1GHz with 66vsel, but still battery life isn't good enough. I tried 59vsel like @choudu1, but phone is unstable and restarts every now and then.
I'm not sure if I need any more power since almost every game I've played runs smoothly and the phone is quite stable. The only games I can't run on decent framerate are Soul Reaver and Tekken 3 via PSX emulator psx4droid.

Running CM7 from 14.06 without problems.
Clocks:
800Mhz vsel 52
700Mhz vsel 44
600Mhz vsel 42
400Mhz vsel 35
250Mhz vsel 25
interactive governor
My battery can stand for two days with (my) normal use(few calls, few sms, some games, some internet using wi-fi, but not often). With heavy use it can stand for (almost) one day.

Post your bench!

All day...

Suck it stock IncS.

3651 at that same frequency.
my loss of points was SD card because I'm using a class 2 16gb card, not the 8gb class 4 that came with it.

Different benchmarks as I took them a few weeks ago, but could be interesting for the sake of comparison anyways. The first picture was taken at stock clock speed using the Quadrant benchmark. The second was taken @ 1209MHz and the third @ 1401MHz I believe (I didn't take note so it may vary +- 100MHz). I wasn't brave enough to go any higher Although I know that the Tiamat kernel could allow you to go up to 2.0GHz which is just ridiculous. Setup shown in my signature.

to all the benchmark freaks:
i tested several roms using antutu benchmark. when i compare my results with other IncS results i get less points (between 2600-2900). the main difference i saw are the points CPU integer (~740 , but others guys had ~1000) and CPU floatpoints (~320). tried on cleam roms and roms i tweaked with beater etc..
is it possible that i harmed my CPU with OC/UV in the past?
are my UV settings restored to default after flashing a new rom?

The uv/oc setting s are always restored to the kernel default once your phone is restarted unless you have your app set to "set on boot" which is never a good idea as bricks are made this way. And yes when you flash a new Rom it installs a new kernel and your setting s are set to the kernels default until you set up your oc app from wihtin your Rom.

I always failed on 1.5Ghz ~ 2.0Ghz. It was stop working and freeze. Anyone succeed?

That bench was clocked at 1804 it tottally depends on which Rom your using and which kernel. That was cm nihtlies and I can't remember the kernel, all I remember was the title contained the words "lightning fast". I've used roms with kernels that won't let you surpass 1.1 ghz and I've used ones that let you o.c. to 2.1. Weather or not your phone locks up is a different story. It doesn't seem to matter if its sense or aosp as I've had both clocked over 1.8. Generally the phone will freeze if you have uncompatible settings and it tries to run more than 4 processes at once.

here's mine.
Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly + Lord Clockan's kernel also ICS theme really looks great.
This bench is at 1.6Ghz but normally it's set to ~1.2Ghz and get almost 3 days battery life.
Incredible S is an incredible phone!

Quadrant 1.1.7 Score, post your config and results!

Hello guys!
First post here and this is the first time I overclock my P990!
I'm currently using CM7 Nightly 156 + Vorkernel 2.6.32.41 with Ginger 2.3.5.
My best Score with quadrant was 3949 points @1408Mhz

Before something changed I was able to get 3400 with 1Ghz and vorkkernel

So, this means that my score is bad?
What can I do to make it better?
Stock phone I was scoring like 2700, Volkernel 1Ghz like 2900 and now at 1.4Ghz with 3900.
Stock Galaxy S II scores something like 3200 if I remember.
Maybe you were running 1.1.6 version of Quadrant no?

that just score, and in benchmark, you will not see difference between 3000 and 3400 when you use it. the best combination is, when you feel a very big woow.
i got that feel with latest GO Launcher EX, and stock v10D with latest neoblaze [email protected] ext4, i removed cardock or what, and now i see a very very big difference with a very good standby time.
very fast scrolls in browser, gallery, and settings and launcher, install apps 5x faster, take shot 2x faster with camera, and the speed in browser is extremly fast. it boots much faster, you can try init.d tweaks for memory management.
and now... you can spend your time with make your homescreen, or skin nicer and nicer, and then share with us

With topogigi v1.7, OC at 1,4GHz got 4110 in quadrant!
At 1GHz was 3231
Edit with v1.9 +SP1 & HP kernel RC1 @1,4GHz "4416"

Custom kernels support "epeen enlargment".
Thats a different aproach to how sql database writes which doesnt make difference in speed in real use but makes a huge diference in benchmarks.
Where you see "sql hack" avoid it. No real advantage and it could be a potentcial data loss.
So there is a big part of the change

Wow...Reading this I feel like I still have to learn a lot about Android developments! hehe
In general I'm very satisfied with my phone, its fast, stable, never had an error.
I'll see if I can touch the 4000 score without increase processor speed, any tip?
I'm currently using CM7 Nightly 156 + Vorkernel 2.6.32.41 with Ginger 2.3.5.
Edit:
Guys, my 3g network was bad and I tried to restart my phone, when initializing he froze on LG logo (second one). I tried to replace the Kernel and had no success, so I had to reinstall CM7!! And the phone worked....I think that the problem was a Vorkernel update that I made by a program called Vorkernel update inside the OS!
Now I'm using the stock kernel from CM7 till get home at least. I ran Quadrant again and got 3143 point @1.0Ghz! That is a lot! hehe

Yeap, in Topogigi's thread a guy showed a nearly 5000 screenshot with some tweaks of his own..
It's probably good to remind that tweaking a ROM to have better scores in benchmarks doesn't mean a better user experience in practical use.
When you know which tests are made by the benchmark app, you can optimize the dedicated part of code in ROM to have better results, it dosn't mean the entire ROM will be snappier. The most famous is sqlite optimizations as all benchmarks use sqlite tests...
So it can give a good idea but it's not the Holy Bible...

Simply AMAZING!!!!

damnit, we need the bootloader unlocked SO BAD!!!!
though how's battery life? LOL bet it takes a monster hit.

im sure Sense brings it down alot...I was able to get ~3200 on the stock skyrocket.

Now don't take this the wrong way, I love my htc phones. But if you really want to see some blazing quadrant scores pick up an atrix, put cm7 on it with faux kernel and o/c it and you will be pushing close to 5000 if not over. I wish I had some pics of the one I had, the thing was crazy fast. I have up an international sgs2 and kept the atrix because it was so much faster.
I am stunned that the vivid score is so low being o/c so high, mine is the att version so I can't really enjoy playing with it like others can but my amaze running the stock kernel at 1.5GHz only gets to around 2770 at its highest. If I didn't love sense so much I'd flash a rom that doesn't have it just to see how much faster it is.

I've never noticed lower battery life after overclocking. Only when you use full power for longer time it drains battery faster.
About kernel for Kang you should use ironkrnl. Everything important you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517301

Afaik, overclocking it's actually just changing the maximum clock frequency, right? Which is only used according to CPU use. If your phone is on idle it will use the minimum configured CPU frequency, so it would not have an impact on battery drainage, only when you're doing CPU demanding tasks.
However, other than battery drainage, it will increase the temperature your CPU reaches when performing these tasks, which might lead to instability. As I've never come across an app or game that lagged, that is why I don't overclock, I don't see the point in risking CPU overheat.
Has anyone seen any difference while playing a game or using an app from regular clocked to an overclocked CPU?
