Droid Overclock is an app I ran across on the Market today with all sorts of nice features.
It may have been out for awile, I just didnt see it.
It costs $1.50. Very Nice App
Looks like it does alot more then setcpu
Oh yeah, I bought this app when I had my d2. Wasn't sure if it supported the incredible though and I just use the built in overclocking in CM.
Its a sweet app though and jrummy did a nice job with the interface.

Makes your processor operate at a faster speed, speeding up your phone. It kills your battery faster though.

Actually (What effects screen brightness and OC CPU have on battery) speeding up your cpu doesn't effect that battery as much as you think its very minimal. So overclock all you want
Does it harm your phone in any way?

This actually looks a lot better than SetCPU. I like it.
If you overclock too high, to a incompatible setting, the phone will just go into a loop mode. The setting won't be stable.. it errors itself and can't correct it. So you need to scale it back down. Sorry if I don't know all the terms and such.. dinc's are fast just to begin with. I oc'd so I could try and get better benchmark scores. It worked and the phone was stable to where i could use it all the time problem free. I managed to get scores I could be.. once that happened I stopped clocking up, and started scaling back. Undervolting the system with a different kernel / governer setting will yield you the best battery life..

You have to have a kernel that allows overclocking.

Are you using a custom kernel??
If you are use pimp my cpu to oc
G2X
Also, in case you didnt know.. Kernels may state 1.5Ghz and such but that doesnt mean YOUR phone will be able to go that high. Every device is different so every device's has a different max frequency.
Set CPU currently doesn't work with out kernels. You must install one of the OC/UV kernels from the development section and use the pimp my cpu app to overclock

Ok, that makes sense I'm using the EB 1.04F trinity kernel +48 and was using pimp my cpu and I can overclock just fine there but I wanted to try out setcpu out.
I have it over clocked @ 1.2 -50 in all frequencies and scheduler is the default one. Force Min Frequency is checked as well.
Thanks

On a side note, my g2x has been highly unstable after leaving it sit while using pimp my cpu. However, I created a .txt file with clock frequencies and I was able to use setcpu with little to no side effects. But after all, what is ocing even good for? Benchmarks... Mt4g, n1, g1, mt3g, hd2. Tried ocing on all of them and didn't see a noticeable day to day difference compared to stock frequency...

On the mt4g I was able to play dungeon defenders OCed at 1.5 without much lag. Without it the game was almost unplayable because it would lag like crazy when the graphics got too intense. But on the downside it sucked my battery dry within hours

If I'm going to overclock my phone on cm7 what would be the best speed or should I just leave it and how do I freeze my blot wear
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Ive been using hellfirephoenix rom which is an offshoot of cm7 and i can overclock to 1.5 ghz easy, which is the max safe setting id say for everyday use. You also have to have a kernal which supports 1.5 ghz though such as faux123's kernals.
In order to freeze stuff i use AntTek which you can get on the market its very easy to use. Otherwise you can buy the full version of titanium backup i believe.
Use morfic's kernels. There is no max safe overclock, it's up to what your phone can handle. I am sitting comfortably at 1.6
I read you can use pimp my CPU to overclock but I can't find the app

Yes you can but I couldn't find a link for that on xda. Id say setCpu is still better. Its also free for xda members

You must be blind then, it's on XDA, and it's also free for XDA members. I don't like the UI of it though.
Not blind found it they want you to down load it from the market so its not free

Does overclocking have any downside to it? Like more battery drain or something?

less stability is the main issue if you OC too high. if you set the right profiles in setcpu you can actually get much better battery life.

Yes. But combined with undervolting I get better than stock battery life running at 1.6.

Just checked this out! Fastest way to drain battery ever. My screen didn't go dark completely, it just dimmed down and stayed like that. Luckily this is a script run by Script Manager, and it's activated when you turn off the screen.
Seriously not recommended

The newest faux kernels do this already, but thanks for sharing.

Funny, it has been working fine for me. For anyone who doesn't use an app like setCPU and is on the OLD baseband this would be great. This on the NEW bb WITH a screen off profile is even better. It's still not pre-new base band like drain, but I don't wake up with a mostly drained battery. I just looked at faux's release notes and it sounds pretty tailored to the new bb, so I think I will see how his does alone.

Jarvis kernel already have this implemented
Excuse me folks but alot of people can't use the new faux kernel and Jarvis kernel isn't exactly stable on all phones niether, the guy is simply sharing something he found, what about Harsh, Morfic, etc??? This works wonderfully with morfics kernel on Cm7.2 stable even with undervolting, I get huge battery saving now, so be easy gentlemen

When running as a script it cant find files it look for in /sys/power/ i think tegra has diff management so it doesnt work.. maybe simce faux implemented in hia kernel it doesnt work.. i am in limbo myaself.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the performance governor main thing is to lock up the CPU at the highest speed at all times?
Using latest ICS build by paradroid and latest ics build by harsh.
I also notice why do our phones don't have these other governors like on demand,lag free etc. We only have 2 the other one with being powersave, just asking because this battery goes down quick!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
We don't have CPU performance governers because the tegra chip set isn't made like that, it has its own architecture that is made with its own governor for instance. Its made to work without anything like those. Something like that, hope this helps a little.

so far... the best tweak was the disabling the sleepers... i did do the Internet tweaks... i got some of the best speed test results yet since I had the phone... but the Internet ping was short... so it may be because I was extremely close to a server...and my 4G at home is ok but not a clean 4g...so that test is not reliable... i would say it's a user preference

Best CPU Governor Tweaks?
Just curious to know what CPU Governor Tweaks are working best for people? Also, should the hardware acceleration and force gpu rendering options both be kept on together at all times for best results?

I use Tweaked 3.1 as my rom and it has always been best using ondemand for the governor... some people have used smartass when over clocking (tegrak is the only one so far reported to actually work to over clock our stock kernel) but this governor setting is not as good for battery consumption...so far I have only tested on demand(which I think is in dslices build of tweaked) some of these settings are new that I have not even heard of till this pimp my rom came out... One that comes to mind is the brazillion... the hardware excelleration I turned on but I left the force gpu settings off(I never tried it) because in the description it said it increased ram usage and the driod charge as one of its main complaints is lack of ram... these tweaks are so easy you can play and remove them as needed... that's what makes them great... it's you phone and you can make it like you like it...and if something really makes you happy... share it... please!... lol
