I got an EVO myself and managed to overclock it to 1.267GHz. We could probably go even higher, but that requires more extensive changes. Here are the changed source files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36553/supersonic_oc-uv.tar.gz
It also includes an undervolt courtesy of pershoot (a whole 0.1V lower when idle, which should help battery drain a lot!). Here is a test update.zip: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36553/supersonic_oc-uv_signed.zip (working WiFi). Make sure to do a nandroid backup first!
Sensors/camera do not currently work in this kernel because the source is not yet complete.
There is an overvolt on the highest frequencies. It should not cause any issues. Thanks to toastcfh for his source, Herver for creating the first booting overclocked kernel on the EVO, all the kernel devs in the N1 community, especially pershoot and kmobs, richardtrip from the Desire community, koush for anykernel updater, and all who helped to root the EVO. Enjoy!
Update 6/15: Fixed 950mV undervolt. Raised voltages from 1228800 above to improve stability. Source files updated and update.zip uploaded.

I posted these in an earlier thread, but I think I should bring this to everyone's attention. Here are some simple patches that will overclock the Evo up to 1.267GHz (though by any means it's not guaranteed to get that high!):
Edit: please don't flash the below update.zip, as it doesn't seem to boot. Devs, the patches are still below, and a zimage is in the anykernel update zip.
Update: I compiled it myself. Here is an update.zip: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36553/update-oc_signed.zip. This uses toastcfh's sources, Koush's excellent anykernel updater and a config.gz pulled from a stock Supersonic. If this doesn't boot, no damage will be done to your phone. Just reboot into recovery and reinstall your ROM. You can test overclocking by grabbing SetCPU from my sig or changing the cpufreq values if you know how. Once we get this working, I will create an undervolted version for battery savings. I'd get an Evo, but it's sold out everywhere T_T
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36553/supersonic_oc.zip
cpufreq.c and acpuclock-scorpion.c are in arch/arm/mach-msm, and supersonic_defconfig is just the config. I don't have an Evo, so I can't test these out, but these should work with the source files toastcfh posted earlier: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686240.
Undervolting can be achieved simply by adjusting the voltages (in mV) in the acpu_freq_tbl table in acpuclock-scorpoion.c. For those not familiar with his work, you can see pershoot's safe (but lower) voltages for the N1 here: http://github.com/pershoot/nexus-kernel/blob/master/acpuclock-scorpion.c. If you want to overvolt or go under 1000mV, you have to make one further adjustment to the voltage regulator in board-supersonic.c.
Note that the N1 and the Evo are completely different devices (with similar processors), so what may work for the N1 may not work for the Evo.

I don't recommend overclocking, the devices already can run warm at current settings.
But then again, you are entitled to do as you wish.
Options better than overclocking are to remove the Sprint bloatware and strip down parts of Sense, this speeds things up alot by removing excess background applications.
Well it ain't too bad, my Droid at 1 ghz(550 stock) runs great.
So this should be good too.
I like overclocking as much as the next geek, but on the Evo... WHY?
This phone has yet to respond anything slower than instantly to my input and I expect a difference of .26 ghz would not make it so it could read my thoughts.
Undervolting, on the other hand, could help with the abysmal battery life...

Some people love to run benchmarks. Try to improve on them over and over. Others like the feeling of just going faster. Also some apps or some in the future might require a faster running phone. What better way to achieve that (other then buying a new phone) then OC.
Also in the future, are you not gunna buy a 1.5ghz processor phone running 2.1 because a 1ghz processor can already do it? OC has many benefits, just not to everyone, most because they dont understand the consequences or benefits.
My htc hero clocked to 768mhz can run 2.1 and everything near instant. Still doesnt keep be from wanting a 1ghz or higher.
Also one more thing, 2.2 will be out soon. With full flash support, i have a feeling its going to require a lot of CPU. An OC Evo would probably run many things from 2.2 a lot easier.
Well, I agree with the benchmarking comments but on the subject of Froyo... Froyo is designed to be even faster on equivalent hardware than 2.1... and 2.1 on my Evo is smooth as silk. And the Evo handles most Flash I can throw at it, so I'm not sure. I have however noticed a small performance difference with live wallpaper running, so maybe OCing will clear that up a bit.

You know, this is an excellent point and I feel like I failed the developer community in some small way when you had to bring it up. You shouldn't have to provide a reason for wanting progress, it should happen for its own sake.
Proceed.

I'm not trying to start an argument at all but you have to think broader mathematically. If the processor runs at 1000Mhz or 999mhz (In the case of my N1) a .267 increase is 267mhz, a 26.7% increase in computational performance... That's pretty raw especially in cellphone terms, that have no way to vent or displace that kind of heat.
Has anyone noticed how much hotter the kickstand gets? I bet you that it's attached to something the cpu is connected to. $5 bucks says we will see KICKSTAND HEATSINK + FAN MOD 2GHZ OC! LOL

This is a patch for developers, not a discussion thread for the merits (or lack thereof) of overclocking.
If you don't want to overclock your phone, nobody is making you.
It has worked out fine in the Desire and Nexus One community.

need to follow the directions in the first post. the .c files need to be loaded into the kernel source (right now just have toast's soruce) and the kernel has to be compiled with them.
if somebody wants to compile up a kernel with these, we could start testing. if i get some free time i'll help out here and compile a kernel but somebody else will prob beat me to it!
please someone let us know how this works out for your evo 4g... benchmark, test results... anything to show better/worse performance, whether your got ALOT warmer, or just a lil, etc.. ne information would be greatly appreciated it, i'm not a 100% noob, i just know how to follow instructions very well, doesn't mean i understand everything that's going on, just the basic concept of what i want. thank you in advance.

I'm waiting for someone to compile this first.
If nobody steps forward, I'll make my own attempt, but I'll be working blind with no test hardware.
I'm pretty sure most devs are waiting on the htc source kernal before playing with this. I can't wait but I understand them being hesitant to do too much with this for now. Still awesome of you to post it and have it rdy for when that time comes!

If you're going to root your phone to install a lagfix, I suggest just flashing Cognition or one of the other great ROMs that include a lagfix.

Dont use that, if you want a real lagfix look in the dev section for a rom with one already included.
I echo the others. A ROM with a baked in lagfix is much better usually.

If you read the lagfix threads from the beginning you would see that the Quadrant scores are meaningless - all they tell you is you are not running stock or your scores would be ~900. All scores are now completely artificial as some of the lagfixes create funky files and filesystem combos to get good performance but invalidate the tests.

Dude you should try di11igaf's Rom. Built off of jk3, everything works (including haptic feedback for home button), HSUPA, Mobile AP, etc. Gps Jupiter files + jm9 fix pre-installed. Linpack for me 17.50 average. Quadrant is always between 1800-1900+. (not that that matters, it's just a reference). All in all though, in my opinion, better that cog , perception, or auxura. Yes, I've used them all.

All CPU's are different. Some phones will have no problem running at 1.6ghz. Some will. It's a trial and error thing.
If you are worried, start conservative and work your way up.
would you say that overclocking your phone is worth it? i know that it can really improve the performance of the phone... but it greatly decreases the battery life... and vice versa u can lower it and increase bat life n lower performance. im looking at opinions also thanks for the reply!!

I personally have the Infusion kernel running on my phone, which allows me to OC my device, but I don't want to. I've come across no normal instance when I've found that I needed the extra power. I mainly wanted it so that I could undervolt (UV) which improves battery life.
Adding a custom ROM and also adding voodoo (most ROM's have voodoo) will increase the performance of your phone.
I'm running Infusion 2.0 on Infused 1.5.3 right now (waiting for GB HDMI capabilities...thanks AT&T) and I'm loving it.

Mikey passed out 1-2 MIUI builds as a proof of concept on IRC a while back, but it took the existing problems with CM7 (MIUI is layered over CM7) and added new ones, so it's on hold until more of the issues with base CM7 get fixed.

There's no way you took your device to 1.8 - our devices can't go past 1.6 without overclocking the system bus, and the system bus does NOT like to overclock. The best anyone has done was around 1664 MHz and it was unstable as hell for a lot of people.
Some versions of Infusion reported operating at 1.8, but that's because bedwa made some mistakes in his PLL calculations - he thought those settings would run the CPU at 1.8 but they actually ran it at around 1.55

fastest anyone has reported to have gotten a hummingbird legitamately that i have seen was a kernel for the fascinate that had a really goofy timing stucture and had problems with other hardware. they reported the cpu running @ 1.7ghz with the gpu and bus at some really goofy speeds and fluctuated as the cpu scaled. it looked like a total mess.

Well the thing is I don't know wich kernel to pair up with Hellfire Phoenix 2.1 so far it's what I have liked the most.
The stock kernel gives funky battery readings, I tried trinity ELP kernel but my phone doesn't last much as I'd like it to maybe I'm asking for too much from my g2x.
So what I would like to know is what kernel should I try for the best battery lifespan I am normally using 4g with pandora but while giving it this use and texting from time to time /checking facebook it doesn't last me through half a day I start using the phone from around 6-6:30 Am and by 1 pm my phone is at 20%. I give it breaks of around 1-3 hours in wich I disable data/ I also keep sync and wifi disabled.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and +Thanks will be given to those that are helpful
PS.I have yet to try Eaglesblood 2.3.7 is it worth compared to hellfire ?
Using data on the phone like Pandora and Facebook for one hour will drop my battery about 15-20% on 4g so, 5 hours worth is about normal in my opinion if you plan on doing that all the time I suggest extra batteries or extended. You're simply asking too much IMO!

Thought so "( Either way With what Kernel could I get the best out of hellfire phoenix 2.1? Also I'm confused on some things like with the trinity ELP kernel it says it's 1.1ghz/UC does that mean it is undervolted while being overclocked by 100mhz (just making sure) also in CM settings I have the option of setting the cpu speed.. now if I set it lets sayy 750mhz is it also undervolting it?
I'm sure I don't need 1ghz for the use I give it most of the time I could just change it back when I
m in the mood for gaming or does this scale depending on the task?
Sorry for so many questions I'm still new to this and I want to be sure of everything

I'd say either the kernel you have now or Faux UV version... look up the thread that shows "how to undervolt" (or something close) and go that route if you truly want to get the best battery life (I don't undervolt as I get the battery I need for my daily activities.)

So Faux123 Kernels are the ones people use the most for what I've seen.
I'm not sure wich faux kernel I have It says 2.6.32.56 CM7 Faux123-049, I checked the thread and latest is 0.48 soo I'm a bit lost there
I've also seen some people say they prefer the trinity kernel because it was released later.
I've tried both the stock Faux that comes with hellfire and the trinity I do not see any difference whatsoever in battery life or stability ( trinity does score significantly higher on benchmarks)
I could careless about benchmarks haven't ran one since I got this phone and oc'ed it to 1.5 to see what would happen... other wise they are just options some of our phones can't handle certain kernels... play with them and see which you like more. My only advice is faux cm version lol ds causes the funky readings.

faux 049b5 is for ICS roms, 048 is for GB roms. Don't mix them up or rom won't boot.
Doing anything on 4g will drain your battery much faster. If you can switch to 2g/3g networks while not using data, it can save a lot of battery power. Try Juicedefender ultimate also. It helps in toggling/switching options for you.
Every phone is different plus everyonez preferences/usage are unique. Best bet is to try both for a week or so and then decide for yourself.

If your running the stock kernel on hfp you have 049b1ds
Pin it to Win it.

Anyways I flashed the 1.1ghz/UV Faux it's working with no problems so far I'll stick with this unless it gives me any kind of problem. I will look forward on getting me one of those 3500mah batteries Price/performance they seem worth it though the phone would be fat haha but w.e I like using my data without worrying of low battery through the day.
This is unrelated but just throwing it out there. The Camera ICS+ works great I see an improvement in picture quality compared to the stock and the interface is lovely
Have you not been reading anything on any of these forum's?
I know your new to this ( as you stated) but you keep asking questions that can easily be answered by just searching and reading the forums,
i keep trying to help you by (doing the searching for you) but you just keep asking the same questions over and over,
you have like at least three different forums were you keep asking about kernal's ( and in several of them i have giving you links that should answer just about every thing you need to know about kernals) if you would actually just read them.
Im not trying to flame you... its just that you keep making new threads asking pretty much the same stuff, we can tell if someone is taking the easy way out and just saying that "they searched and didn't find any thing"
the people on here that would actually help you out, know better.
because they read the forums just about every day so we know how many forums that are out their, on subjects such as kernals, like the 3 threads you started asking about them.
so again read and most of your questions will be answerd...

He's right only reason I answered and didn't reply in this manner, was cause you typed out so much and I felt bad for you lol... If you answer I don't have time to read and such, then you shouldn't even have time to root the device. Laziness is pretty frowned upon on XDA. The more you read the more you would find out that everyone has different experiences with kernels. Try them out and figure it out on your own... if you have thread already about a kernel or a specific rom to choose stick to that thread and don't make a new one, as it just causes clutter for people that do use the search function, as when they search for something like "which kernel" they get

Well the thing is I don't know wich kernel to pair up with Hellfire Phoenix 2.1 so far it's what I have liked the most.
The stock kernel gives funky battery readings, I tried trinity ELP kernel but my phone doesn't last much as I'd like it to maybe I'm asking for too much from my g2x.
So what I would like to know is what kernel should I try for the best battery lifespan I am normally using 4g with pandora but while giving it this use and texting from time to time /checking facebook it doesn't last me through half a day I start using the phone from around 6-6:30 Am and by 1 pm my phone is at 20%. I give it breaks of around 1-3 hours in wich I disable data/ I also keep sync and wifi disabled.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and +Thanks will be given to those that are helpful
PS.I have yet to try Eaglesblood 2.3.7 is it worth compared to hellfire ?

ELP voltages are probably too low for you, thus actually causing higher drain. Try the T15 and under volt until you find your sweet spot

I discovered that if I adjust my screen sensitivity under clockwork mod recovery from "default" to "sensitive2" it will cause my captivate to seriously lag. It makes almost everything go hay wire. This is just a resource for anybody else who might have stumbled onto a lagging problem.
I am using the corn 7.06 kernel(thanks mtcarey) and the legend 3.7 ICS ROM(thanks crt60), I have my governor as smartassv2 and my I/O scheduler as SIO. My LMK is at 70mb, instead of 48 default (this will probably change depending on stability).
My captivate has run smoother than it ever has on these settings, with lots of the bloat removed as well.
Can anybody else confirm this?
Corn 7.06 has CWM v5.1.0.7
Yes, I don't think it's lag, but rather that the sensitivity is just messed up. I would check the corn thread, as others may have had this reported.

I still do because I have to use my phone for work and being too experimental might get me in some hot water.
Plus, I'm waiting to see how the whole encryption problem shakes out. I know it's only a small chance of occurring, but that's a chance I don't want to take right now.

Thanks, I checked all through the thread corn development thread and couldn't find any posts... I can't post there yet cause i just joined and nobody has thanked me, otherwise I would've posted this there.
I'm not sure exactly what the problem was, but the boot time was much longer and every interaction was super slow, like homescreen transitions and such.. I just called it lag, there may be a better name for it...

I rooted my phone about 3 weeks ago, flashed corn about 2 weeks ago, and have been fiddling with legend for like a week. I'm in the early stages of my flashing addiction . I really want to learn how to code for android, all I know is some basic C...

Are you interested in going into clockwork mod to try and see if you can re create the issue? I'm curious to know if it's just my phone + tweaks/setup...
I can agree, at the moment I want a stable phone, I use my phone too often for school and stuff to be worrying about errors, besides finals week is next week for me so i need less distractions... I'll wait till I see a smaller bug's list on the ICS rom threads. I want to try it out, but i'm gonna wait.
I don't seem to be getting any lag after setting that tweak. I also have my LMK set at 78, but my governor is set to ondemandb because I found that smartassv2 would be slow to wake up from sleep and ramp up the processor.
Hmmm.. That's interesting.. I wonder what was causing my issue then. I'll try some of the other sensitivity settings later today when i have more free time.
I also tried changing the init.rc tweaks to the system corps tweaks and i got a similar lag which was immediately fixed by switching to no tweaks... I wonder what I'm missing here... If i don't have, any of these tweaks on my captivate is super smooth
Thanks for all your help!
At the moment i seem to be good at finding problems... As time goes i should get better at fixing them on my own and then i wont post silly questions.
Again thanks.

I think those tweaks in tandem with screen sensitivity may be doing something. I had maladroit.tweaks on when this happened
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
I wasn't using both at the same time, i used them separately. I'm just going leave it be for awhile i think. I'm so happy that it's running so smooth compared to before it was rooted and de bloated.
I'm probably just gonna wait till ice cream sandwich is more stable, or i have a new phone, then I'll mess with that.
Maybe I'll just wait till the galaxy S III. Anybody else excited for the possibilities of this new phone coming up? I guess that would be something for the questions forum though.
If you've got the time, can anybody give a brief description of what these init.rc tweaks are supposed to do as a whole? I read the system changes of each in cwm, but I'm not sure exactly what they do. It's fine if you don't answer, i know it would be a long post, i just wasn't able to find an explanation. I'll thank you if you do give a good explanation though.

ICS is pretty darn stable. It's been that way for months almost. Anyway, I can't really describe exactly what the tweaks do, but I know that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1556013 uses some of those tweaks and explains it sufficiently.

By any chance are you running the Thunderbolt tweaks too? I noticed legend seems to run better without the extra tweaks

No, i just now found out about thunderbolt...
I'm pretty stock, i'm on RFS, legend 3.7, corn 7.06, the only tweaks I've kept were the LMK and changing the I/O scheduler and governor.
Thanks again for all your input, i'll hit the thanks button for you guys. You're great for helping a beginner learn for the first time.
I have Thunderbolt tweaks in my ICS ROM. Not sure if they help. AOKP and kernel developers added their own support of these tweaks thru ROMControl, NSTools and Semaphore app. SQLite rebuilder is nice I guess. Zipalign is useless - all apps already zipaligned.
