Overclocking Problem - Motorola Droid Bionic

So I flashed two different jelly bean roms that are overclocked to 1.3ghz, but when I checked my cpu speed on my phone one rom was 1.05 and the other was 1.1ghz. I would post this on the CN2 rom thread where I got the rom from, but I need ten post to even comment on there. Why is my phone not fully overclocking to the specific value?
Also I have tried every overclocking app from setcpu, setvcu, milestone, etc... and none of them actually let me overclock the phone they just let me move my slider to a lower value than 1.1ghz. I cannot get any app to actually let me set a new value for my cpu frequency. I am currently running the CN2 Jelly Bean rom.
Any help is appreciated.

So I figured out the problem. My stock kernel only holds 4 or 5 cpu speed slots. I need a kernel that holds 7. I am having trouble finding one, or at least figuring out how to flash my new kernel through safe strap. It says failed when I try to flash a kernel I downloaded.

Anyone know of a kernel I that is compatible with CN3 Rom?

Noob question about overclocking

Since few days I am trying OverclockWidget and I try to set the CPU at 1.2GHz.
Each time i set the value, it put only until 1GHz.
I know it is a stupid question but does stock Froyo ROM (JPA) can go further than 1.2GHz for overclocking ? Because I don't know if it is because of the ROM or because of this widget which doesn't work well...
PS: I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000.

Stock Froyo do not support OC/UV.
You need a specific kernel for that, go into DEV section, there's some here.
Carefully read every post in the desired thread before proceeding with the one of your choice.

[Q] Overclock and under volt CPU, what is needed?

I want overclock my Galaxy S for better performance and undervolt cpu when phone is not processing for better holding time of battery. Is it possible i mean any app or program?
I have read any topics here and its so much different info and opinions....
What is the best and save? Thanks so much!
You have to flash a kernel that supports overclocking.There is a kernel in the development thread.

What kernel do i need to get Voltage Controller working thanks,,
Hi, did search but nothin about Voltage Controller,, need help to get mine going, so i can use cpu govners etc, i tryed both version 2 and 3, all i get this is BAAAZINGA!!!! "Unsupported kernel detected, You are running a incompatible kernel. Toget one head to XDA, "Do it for me (not implemented yet) "Get Kernel" "Exit" cant see any help, have i missed somthing??? finally got my ph back working after days of stuffing around.... working now, Samsung Galaxy S i9000 2.1 eclear stocked now updated final worked to Darkys Rom ver 9.2 now froyo 2.2.1,,, im scared to flash now because the ph use to have a fit after flash the reboot (screen logo stays on or off with vibrating "buzz......buzzz,buzzz,buzzz.................buzzz z............ buzzz,buzzz,buzz repeats for ever!!, as i said i have it reflashed to an Australian 2.1 because theres none for New Zealand "how stupid!!!" at lest i got it going, then flashed to Darkys Rom 9.2 all going good so far but cant get Voltage Controller to run help thanks.....

Just updated to CM9 - problem with setCPU scaling governors

Hai,
I just updated my O2X from 2.3 to Android 4.0.3, and CM9.0.0-RC0-SelfKANG3-Optimus2X. I've restored setCPU via titanium backup, and i cannot set scaling governors in main window. It looks like screen that i've posted in attachments.
To be sure, thats its not becouse of kernel that im using, I've checked file that show available governors ( it shows 2 - performance and powersave).
I'm curently on ironkrnL48-20120218h2043_ics kernel.
I've tryed CM9 KANG1 rom, and problem exist aswell.
ps. Which kernel you recommend with this governor, that rapidly increases CPU clock when needed? :>
// i tryed to google this problem, and i didnt find the answer.
thx.
Governors are useless on our phone, Arcee stated it long ago in CM7 threads, and had be confirmed by many devs.
So don't bother with governors, as we lack specific NVIDIA sources to recompile kernel with proper governors (and other that exists on other CPU), CM9 kernel is only a hack between GB kernel and Android 4 sources.
There is Ironkrnl work for P990, and faux kernels for P999.
Also, vadonka is working very hard on his ICS version of ETaNa Kernel. So in the near future, we will have another kernel to choose from.
So just use SetCPU profiles
selfkang2 + 48mb ics kernel gave me random reboots after battery went below 50%

The same happened to me on temasek's 204-67 CM7 kang. On 204-66 I had two governors available in the drop-down: performance and powersave (if I recall properly). Now the dropdown is just empty.
To be sure, thats its not becouse of kernel that im using, I've checked file that show available governors ( it shows 2 - performance and powersave).

I confirm - I flashed new kang but left the same kernel as before (vadonka's ETaNa-REV1, 18FEB one). So it seems that something changed in the system, not the kernel.

I followed the instructions here to install my CM9. SetCPU seems to work fine for me. Maybe you can try the kernel that's included in the instructions.

[Q] Droid a855 overclock in 2013

first off let me say i am not new to rooting or overclocking. i have a original droid a855 and i have rooted it and want to over clock it, but the problem is that all the downloads i could find were megaupload links and we all know about what happend to that. so i was wondering if anybody knows where to get the evilboot kernals or is there and other over clockiing methods that will allow over 800mhz, Please help!!!! Thank You
Give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pt.com.darksun.milestoneoverclock
tried that
i already tried that and it only lets me get to 800mhz which is still better than 550mhz, but i want 1ghz. i started with this guide, it wont let me post a the link but if you google droid a85 overclock scroll down and click on the one that starts with *release* that is the guide that im trying to use
but all the links are megaupload i got the evilboot1ghz but i cant find the flash image indicated in the guide. and i flashed sp recovery and then it would not recognize the battery so i then i flashed FRG89G and that fixed the problem. but the cause of the problem was that i used a 2.1 sp recovery on a 2.2.3 install. So what i need is the 1ghz flash image that is in the guide and a sp recovery that will work on 2.2.3 please help. Thanks
Have you checked the custom roms for the droid? I'm not really aware of them as I own a Milestone, but in the Milestone CM roms, there is an option to set the min/max cpu values. It's easier and more safe than flashing all kind of hacks.
ya............

it probly is and by the way i was able to milestone over clock to go to 1.2ghz but its not a very good over clock and i realy wanna just do the evilboot over clock

I would recommend taking a look at Prime's deprimed kernel which can be downloaded from here, it allows you to customize the overclocking, voltage, etc. When my Droid 1 was my daily driver phone I used Prime's De-primed kernel and it offered excellent performance running at 1.0 GHz, other people have been able to stably set it to 1.25 GHz as well. For more information on Prime's De-primed kernel and how to use it's features I would recommend checking out this thread.
Sorry it took me so long to get back, That looks very promising and i guess ill try it out
ok so im running cm7 and i flashed the prime kernal and went to the terminal and typed "su" enter that works then "overclock" enter, says command not found. i tried reflashing the kernal, does the same thing. please help!!!

Your sure you flashed the kernel zip in recovery correctly right? I would also take a look at this post here from Prime that tells you how to use his kernel it's possible that the other features and scripts of his kernel will work for you.
i have clock work mod recovery and i install the zip from there and the i tried the comands but it didnt work, but in setcpu or the cm7 performance settings it will allow 1ghz and the bumblebee governer. So i dont know if i should just use that or what???????

If you see that options to use the 1 GHz clock speed and bumblebee governor are available in SetCPU then you can use SetCPU and that should work fine. SetCPU is what I always used to use to tweak Prime's de-primed kernel after flashing the kernel.
Thank You for the help , ive been running it at 1ghz and bumblebee for a while now and it is sooooooooooooooo much better than stock
