So i have the original milestone (android 2.2.1 and rooted) . I want to overclock because sum games (like samurai 2) is slow. But b4 i overclock...
1) What's a good app to overclock? Setcpu?
2) How do i know if the clock speed i chose r stable? Is there like sum sort of stability test app?

I prefer to overclock using the 10overclock method, but I don't believe that stock ROMs have that. You can try setCPU or Milestone Overclock(in the themes and apps section), but I haven't had any success with either.
As for stability, you can try running a benchmark app, it will stress test the phone, that should give you a good idea of stability. You can try Quadrant Standard, Smartbench 2011 or Linpack for Android.
i'm trying milestone overclock right now. How do i set custom overclock speeds? because the slider is like preset.
I downloaded setcpu. But it won't let me overclock
.
First you have to root your device using Universal Androot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20401155/UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk
Then use Milestone Overclock to increase your maximum CPU clock
And finally you can use SetCPU to control your CPU's behaviour
As i said, my phone is already rooted via superoneclock. So i guess i only use setcpu for profiles, benchmarking, and stablility, and underclocking?
Exactly
SetCPU does pretty much everything - except the overclocking itself
That's what Milestone Overclock is for

What's like the maximum safe temp. for milestone? at 1 Ghz, it's at 43 C max.
how do i set it to 900 mhz in Milestone Overclock? Do i do it in settings? If so what voltage should i set it to?

I've set up a profile to clock down at 50°C
But I never reached it

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.

The links for the kernals over at p3designs don't seem to be working for me. Does anyone have some overclocking kernels they could post?

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.

Is this the site you tried accessing the kernals? I did a test and downloaded the kernal zip fine.
That does sound impressive. I'm curious to try that out even more so now.
Hi,
Sorry for the newbish question but I noticed Dalingren released new kernels today(02/23) and they all run at stock speeds. This is my first try with a new kernel and am running Froyo Customized 0.6.8. Just wondering what is the proper way to OC these new kernels? Do we have to use a SetCPU type program or is there a setting somewhere I am missing or a file that needs to be edited? I just don't want to break anything by doing it the "wrong" way.
Kevin
Yes, you would need to use SetCPU to hit the higher clock speeds. I set my profile to vary between 800 and 1100 MHz OnDemand. I also set my "screen off" profile to vary between 300 and 600 MHz OnDemand so I reduce battery consumption when not using the NC.
It has worked well for me, been using that strategy for several weeks on the older version of the kernel. Just updated to the new one today and it still works great!
SetCPU is available in the Market for $1.99, but the developer makes it free to XDA members here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
Its a really nice gesture to his fellow modders, so if it does what you need please consider buying it for $2.
this is a good way to go. I have been using it on my HTC Hero and now on the Nook.
It does not have profiles like SetCPU it is just clean and simple.

This is basically the same settings is use also. I set the lower threshold on my profile to 600. Go ahead and spend the $2 on setCPU. It's easy to set, and works well.

SetCPU for HC4-v2
I installed setCPU . But the top end limit is 600mhz. :-( I tried new kernals, old kernals... its always 600mHz.
I've just flashed emanoN v3, it has No-Frills CPU control app by default, I used this app to set my CPU like this: Max 710Mhz, Min 245Mhz, Governor performance, I/O scheduler deadline --> Apply on Boot.
But is it me or it doesn't make any work on my Galaxy mini? I still get lag on many games like when not overclocked!
should i use chain fire 3D?
[Sorry 4 my bad English ]
Try other governors and reset your phone after making changes.

Chainfire 3D is graphics tool for better optimization of games and other 3D apps.
Did you check Apply on boot option?
as in my question: I checked Apply on boot option
If OC doesnt make any work on galaxymini, why did they add it in custom ROM 4 galaxymini?
Try other rom like CM 7.2 overclocking worked for me.
why doesn't the OC make any work on Noname ??!!
A tried over-clocking a couple of times but I really didn't feel the difference, except the battery drain, of course. Now-a-days, I don't even care to over-clock.
I am having my mini with cm7.1.0 music edition and overclocked it to 782 MHz and I find that in set CPU native benchmark I found that it took 900 micro second less when I clocked it to 782 MHz so I can say that Oct really works it also make my device run more smoothly its true that some games like angry birds lags yet after oc

Many games are tailored towards devices with 1Ghz processors and newer (including dualcore and advanced GPU's like the Tegra2 and Exynos chipsets). Don't expect the latest games to run reliably on a sub-800Mhz singlecore device.
Apps that require Chainfire3D are unlikely to work very well at all on the SGM as they're generally aimed at the higher-performance devices.
If you want to see the difference an overclock makes, then run an AnTuTu CPU benchmark before & after overclocking. If the figure doesn't change much (You should expect an increase roughly relative to the % of the overclock) then something isn't working correctly.
I can play Need For Speed Shift without any lag

Hi guys, some times ago I flashed Semaphore, but it haven't any CPU step higher than 1000 MHz. Can I have more CPU steps,like Devil, in Semaphore? (100-1400 MHz)
(Sorry for my bad english)
Download Semaphore Manager from the market. You can overclock using that app. Mind you, semaphore kernel can get glitchy at ~114% OC and up, so you might want to go with 110 and build gradually until you find a sweet spot...

Yeah, I know that, but with Live oc my limit is... 106 % :crying: I have tried every thing but I don't know why the CPU is so limited...
Heh, mine caps at 108%. It would be nice to "normally" oc to 1200mHz on semaphore. I could get 1296mHz with 108% like on Devil.

the "live oc" has better performance of "simple oc" (at equal overclocking), because "live oc" overclock all frequencies and not only the higher frequency.
But with "live oc" you can raise less the frequencies

The only limit is your device. If your CPU/GPU doesn't like OC - you have to live with it (or buy another I9000 :cyclops: )

Theoretically yes, but if you overclock BUS, your CPU, GPU, and RAM are OC'ed. On stock BUS is clocked at 200mHz. If you use LiveOC 110%, you overclock everything by 10% - GPU goes from 200mHz -> 220mHz, CPU from 1000mHz -> 1100mHz. That's why it's more unstable than normal OC.

You might be able to get a higher stable overclock with voltage increase; available in later versions of semaphore, but that's something you'd need some guidance doing, and of course there are the general risks of that.

Hello world,
my 8.9 tab doesn´t run stable on 1,4 or even on 1,2 GHz (just a bit more stable on 1,2 GHz). So maybe i need to increase the voltage of my CPU. I am no newbie to OCing, but new to OCing Android Devices. I am on ICS Stock ROM and A1 1.7.X KERNEL. Maybe someone gives me a hint what i need? I already bought SETCpu some months ago. but i am only allowed to set lower voltages than the standard voltage. like max. 1175mv on 1,2GHz....but allowed up to 1375mV on 1,6 GHz (instant freeze on this setting).
is there any possibility for me to increase the voltages?

maybe it´s not possible? are you able to sitch the voltage to a higher level than standard? For example more than 1175mV at 1,2 GHz
I have installed an app called CPU tweaker, which seems to allow increasing voltage

It is a subset of this system tuner app

thank you a lot. it works! now i have to figure out whats the best setting. maybe i´ve used the wrong keywords to search. And yes, i know the risk.
