Ok, I am a noob when it comes to OC/UV, i have searched and found this and this but i still have some doubts about undervolting, so IS UNDERVOLTING HARMFUL N SHOULD IT BE USED FOR EVERYDAY USAGE TO GAIN BETTER BATTERY BACKUP??
I am using jetpack 2.1 rom with talon 1ghz kernel (I dont use OC as its harmful) n i have set the values under voltage control app in each clockspeed - 100mV n tested thru stabilitytest app n neocore app, battery is performing considerably better but should i use it under everyday circumstances??
Sorry if I am repeating another question (I really have searched to my best efforts), just wanted to confirm coz i only have 1 phone n i am not very rich
No reason why not, I do, and there is no harm to be done unless you uv too much and get into a deep sleep situation but a re flash will sort that at very worst, but as you have stable values that work, then stay as you are and enjoy better battery

For those of you who have used cooked WM6.1 ROM's, have you had to overclock your Wizards? If so, by how much?
i use battery status and use the CPUScaler option for minimum i use 121 and for origional 195 max 195 but for boost 260 this in my opinion gives me the best battery life to speed ratio
, Sorry, but I haven't understood a single thing you said there... So is overclocking necessary to have a useable phone? Or best to stick with WM5.0 if you don't want to overclock...
overclocking is not neccesary, but it does give a significant speed boost in most ROMS, regardless if they are 6.1 or not
How does this effect the temperature of the CPU? Does it get significantly hotter & thus likely to burn out quicker...
as far as i can tell ive been using my phone for over a year and have found absolutly no problem with over clocking besides the extra battery drain
And what i was explaining b4 was the options i used on the overclocking program batterystatus theres an option called CPUScaler that allows u to variate the cpu speed this gives u the best of both worlds ie when ur using it for something heavy it will increase the cpu speed to the level u specify but when its not under heavy usage it will underclock (ie go to a slower cpu speed thereby decreasing the drain on ur battery).
And yes overclocking does give a significant boost to performance on any of the roms even wm5. Theres no harm in trying it so give it a try and you would see for yourself, if u dont like the way it works just uninstall the program and your done no problems and no long term effects.
Hey all 2X lovers!
Ive been thinking more and more of some overklocking here and Im running this ROM so I can overlock. Im running SetCPU for running different profiles and lovering CPU speed to save battery. I know it can overlock too with doing the setcpu.txt files but how do you increase voltage in the textfile?? Or can I run Pimp my Cpu at the same time as SetCPU without problem?
What speed/voltage is safe and draws not too much more battery??
And yesh Ive searched for this but didnt really found any good information..
I think use Pimp my Cpu only is better, it's because most x2' kernel developers suggested to use it.
I prefer stable rather than saving battery. If you having serious problem of battery drain, please wipe the battery stats while your battery is full(for make sure it's full, keep charging 2hrs after 100%)
Ok Ill look more into Pimp my CPU then
What speeds and voltages are you running? PMC suggests certain voltages at some overclocks, I assume you should follow them?

I want to overclock my droid to 1200mhz but everytime I try my phone locks up almost immediatly after setting the clock speed. Is there a certain process I should go through or just a specific kernel or rom any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Why do you want to do this?
I did it once in my Milestone but I think it's unecessary.
The system usually get very unstable, increase battery consumption, and reduce your phone's life.
I really don't recommend that.
1000mhz is already great, you can even try 1100.
What's your rom?
You could try /etc/init.d/10overclock . In my Milestone CM7, there is the clocks defined and vsel. Try setting 1200mhz and 70 to vsel.
Add a water cooling set up, go for 1.6Ghz. Go big or go home buddy!!!
Hello all! Is recommended overclock your phone with stock kernel and gingerdx v25? If so, at what frequency (maximum, minimum)?
Sorry for my English
It's neither prohibited nor recommended. You can overclock Your device if You want to, but if You see that every game You play works smooth, there isn't any lags in ROM menu etc... so what for? If there are lags than You should try. Max frequency depends on Your phone - some x8 works without reboot @ 825mhz, some of them only @~700. Min frequency should be about 122, cause it guarentees that when You wake up Your phone it will happen without any delay. And as You propably know - overclocking will decrease time between chargings.
I would like your own opinion. You have overclocked your phone with stock kernel and not?
Sorry for my English
When I was on stock kernel - no. Even now, when I use nAa 11 kernel I don't need to do that There was a period of time when I overclocked my x8 only to see the diference (stable frequency 787, on 806 my x8 get reboots; I also tried lower freq. f.e. 691mhz). So yes, it was faster, but there was also a huge battery draining. So I stopped. And now on MiniCm7 2.2.0 my x8 works without charging for 4 days (sometimes even 5 ).
Ok, thanks. There are other own opinion ?
And strong home and messages in memory increase the perfomance ? How often do you advise me to overclock the phone (MAX and MIN)?
Sorry for my English
And the phone might break?
Sorry for my English
It all depends, cuz some phones can overclock at 800(?) And
Some 900 (?) But some can only do 700 and dome chant even overclock without rebooting. It all depends on your phone. But, if you ovedclock at like 1000 (even possible?) It will overheat and brake. (Or blow up )

Hi there,
really sorry if this has already been around, but i've been searching this forum up and down and didn't find a thing.
Anyways, i was wondering how i could enable overclocking under cm11 nightly? Could anyone point me towards a solution? Thanks
Well ...

It should work (in the past it works)
Install it on your Cyanogenmod Rom

There's a guy who said that that kernel doesnt work on cm11...it work's for you in the past?
For CM11 and other AOSP 4.4 ROMS, the most fully-featured and overclockable kernel is JBX. You can use the one intended for the RAZR.
Joojoobee's is good, and certainly the best for Lollipop, but due to its extra voltage management stuff the JBX kernel has a higher overclock ceiling.
Use the newest kernel from here.
Boot into Safestrap, make a backup in case something goes horribly wrong, then flash the package to start up the installer. In the installer, don't install any of the tweaks, at least a couple of them cause instability for our phone, and don't bother with the init.d stuff. Just install the kernel itself and Trickster Mod. Trickster, FYI, is probably the best app for managing JBX, but other apps can as well.
Done. Reboot phone, hopefully it won't bootloop, once back up increase speed until it starts freezing when you try to use it, bump voltage 10-20mv, find ceiling again. I think the JBX thread has better/more detailed instructions, but that's about the gist of it.
Maximum advised voltage is 1490mv iirc, don't try to even approach that unless you want to cook eggs on the back of your phone.
Thanks a bunch!
After messing around with both solutions, Jojobee's solution gave me a bootloop but the other one worked.
However i can't seem to get past 1300mhz when overclocking, that seems to be the limit. I was aiming to try to reach 1400, any idea how i could go about that? I can't seem to find an option to set the max frequency higher than 1300.
Well i was playing a little with JBX kernel..these are my conclusions:
- Kernel install/works fine if you don't install 10% battery mode..otherwise you are goingo to have android crashes
- Kernel performance it's below than current cm11 m13 stock kernel...i believe is due to full scale freq that it has...cpu spend a lot time switching from one freq to another...if you overclocked you will have almost the same performance than NON-OC stock kernel..that's why stargo applied and later reverted full scale on stock months ago...meaby if JBX kernell would have support to boost driver (like cm12 OC kernel) it would be better...but it hasnt...
So my conclusions...dont waste time on JBX kernel...sorry my 4 my english

I don't think you can set the CPU higher than 1.3ghz, at least not in the way you're thinking.
In the case of the JBX kernel, you overclock the Main Processor Unit (MPU) speed. I don't remember what tab it's under in Trickster, but it should be the same one as the voltage settings. I couldn't even begin to guess where it'd be as far as other apps.
The default is 100mhz. This is multiplied by each frequency step; e.g. 1.3ghz is actually a 13x multiplier of the base 100mhz.
So to obtain 1.4ghz(ish), simply increase the MPU clock from 100mhz to 108mhz, since 108*13=1404.
If you're lucky, you'll be be able to do this without needing to touch the voltage, if not...read the FAQ in the JBX post, because I don't remember offhand exactly how to set voltages :v
Once you know how, I would think a 5-10mv bump would be all that'd be needed to stabilize most CPUs for 1.4ghz.
fyi, ignore if you already have stuff for these:
Antutu is a decent app for both testing stability and checking to make sure you're not hitting the heat throttle.
Cooltool isn't a bad thing to use either, if configured to show CPU speeds, since it'll show you if the CPU has been forcefully throttled back (if the CPU gets too hot, it'll forcefully change the maximum multiplier to 10x/11x to protect itself from baking; if it does, back your voltage off and be happy with whatever speed you've attained).
