I'm using the 2.2 rom Froyo Dexter. But so it could not do overclocking. When I use it setcpu a maximum of 720MHz and overclocked it up to the Milestone save the settings, but not active.
There's something I'm doing wrong? How do I run the overclock? I appreciate the help.
You need to download Milestone Overclock from the market. Install it, load module and set it. Good starter is 1000/66. Then open SetCPU and you can use that to save profiles to over/underclock depending on task. SetCPU alone will only overclock to you roms highest frequency. You need MSOC to push it past that point. Hence the "over".

Seems like everyone has abandoned any idea of using SetCPU on a custom ROM. I'm currently running Glitterballs's 1.2 GHz OC/UV kernel, and it seems to be working perfectly. I'm going to update the op with how it works through the day. I currently have a screenoff profile set and a screenon profile set, with no issues. Feel free to try it yourself, however I wouldn't try it on any kernel besides Glitterballs's just yet until I do more testing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419.
I just installed SetCPU and it looks like it's working very well so far!
SetCPU crashed my phone when I put it to sleep... just use OC/UV to do your OCing.. no need to use setCPU.
YMMV, but I've been using SetCPU with every OC/UV kernel I've ever tried. I don't use any of the "profile" features, but I do use it to control the CPU speed and keep track of "time_in_state" stats and a few other things.
That includes SetiroN's kernel, Unhelpful's 2.1 kernel, and Glitterball's kernel. I even sometimes use it on non-OC kernels just to change the CPU power scheduler, like to force a specific speed.
Again, might be different for others, but in my experience, there's nothing wrong with SetCPU.
I have Faux clock and Setcpu installed on my phone, I use SetCPU for the widget and the profiles, while I use Faux clcok for GPU IO control and undervolting. Will having both controlling the cpu cause any battery problems or cpu problems? I have them set both to the same settings atleast for the screen on and screen off (these are the only settings that both apps have the same of) to avoid any problems.

its probably better to only have 1 cpu controlling app running at a time. if you want to undervolt and control the cpu speed i recommend system tuner. the user interface may scare you at first but just go to the tweaks icon at the bottom and set the cpu speed/profile and undervolt there. it will be all you need unless you really find it necessary to control the gpu, which i dont think is really necessary anyway
Hi what is the best app for overclocking the Xperia Play i have only rooted and have a locked bootloader if that helps
I personally like SetCPU. It lets you create profiles for apps, so you can have your cpu run at a higher speed when playing games etc.
SetCPU.
It's very flexible, intuitive and it let to create custom profiles (when is connected to USB, screen off, call or using a specified app)

Will Setcpu work on the stock kernel (2.3.4)?
Must boot loader unlocked for over clock.then install setcpu.

I think it will, but u can only set frequency between the factory values (~250-1000mhz). To go below or above you must install a custom kernel. I prefer Doomkernel, because you can set speed up to 2 ghz.
I would suggest loading DoomKernel, but first you need to have your bootloader unlocked.
hey guy,
have you tried "system tuner pro" yet ?
by that apk you can change CPU , tweaks , task manager , start up setting , SD booster ,....
please check that, that's realy useful
I use no-frills CPU
no problems here, and I think profiles are pointless since that's what governors are for.
What are the methods to increasing your phone speed?
All I know is get a automatic task killer, and a CPU controlling app like SetCpu, which I own. But stop using....
Use an aosp rom
Change governor
Use a kernel that allows over clocking
Im on Lollipop rooted and cpu not sticking at all. I heard is because stock kernel doesnt allow. May i know any solution to this? Im using HTC One E8 m8Sx.
Solved- Partially
I discovered an app called "Multicore CPU Control" on Play Store which can select cpu frequency and governors and it actually stick. The governor i set it to interactive from ondemand which is the stock default and it shows up on CPU-Z, an app to check cpu speed, but not for no-frills cpu and setcpu. There is a free and pro version. The downside of free version is only able to tweak one single core. Pro version is needed for all 4 cores.
Edit: Multicore CPU Control doesn't stick after boot.

I guess it works only on rooted phones ??
Did you root your Lollipop ??

Ya, my phone is rooted. I also tried some other cpu apps. I tried CPU Performance Control and both the frequency and governor sticks but it doesnt apply on boot even though the selection is ticked. Then now im with C3 CPU Master which manages to get governor stick on boot but not the set frequency.

I doubt it will work with stock kernel... You will need a custom kernel...
Check in the Original Android Development thread of our phone and there are 2 kernel threads there...
Maybe you can try flashing one of those,, be sure to be able to flash stock kernel back again.....
And if not, then you can ask @DutchDanny to make a lollipop kernel for you if he can..
