overclock my phone the battery gets pretty hot can I break my phone it is at 806
Unless your on Froyo 2.2, and you installed a custom kernel your not OC'd. 806 is the stock clock for the phone. Your phone should not be getting hot. Are you rooted? What Rom are you running? Did you confirm the clock speed with SetCPU Speed or something similar? When I was running Froyo my device was OC'd to 1.6gHz for daily.
806 mhz is stock clock speed it should not overheat at all what I would do is run the Froyo RUU and see if it still overheats. I had the same issue with my first shift (ive been through 3) and they said alot of people were having the issue with earlier versions
I am rooted but not full temporary root and am 2.3.3

then you can't overclock till we can root and change stuff.
On 2.3 if you took the update, or recevied the device that way. There is no way to OC or Full Root at the moment. We have to wait for the Source Code Kernel.

Well, on my Inspire I have flashed a custom rom that gives me up to a 1400 score on my Quadcore tests, yet I see other people hitting 2000-2500, what am I doing wrong? I'm using Core Droid v5.0 with a flashed radio that speeds up my download and upload speeds. Do you guys have any advice on how to speed up my Android?
And by the way, yes I do have set CPU and I have the settings on Max (1024000) and on Minimum (245761) I also have set on boot ticked along with profiles to save battery life. Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
RootTheNoob
Are you running a kernael that can be overclocked?
How can I tell of it can be overlooked, and I'm pretty sure I am its the default core Droid Rom, or do I have to install the kernel separately as well?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
The default CoreDroid kernel isn't overclocked. Also if you have an overlooked kernel, setcpu would let you push past 1ghz.

I think you can use the leedroid kernel with coredroid can't you? If so, I'm using that one. It will overclock to 1.8. I only run at 1.2 though.
see post 957:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12123867&highlight=leedroid#post12123867
So what do I set it to to overclock it?
First you have to floash the kernel. The you use the slider in set cpu to overclock.
How do I flash it?
Sounds like you have some reading to do. Download the kernel to the root of your SD card. Then from ROM manager use CWM to flash rom from SD Card. DO A BACK UP FIRST THOUGH. Read the first few leedroid posts and that will help
No, I know how to flash things but what kernel do I use?
What kernel do I use with Core Droid?
http://leedroid.ftp.rshost.eu/DHD-Kernels/
it is the 2.2.9. Check his post here and it will tell you what you are getting

Try the Inversely ROM...sure its stock based but the kernel can be oc'd to 1.8.... at 1.5 I got over 2600 and at 1.8 I got a 3309 and could do better sub some tweaking...right now though kernel is not a separate flash package.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Um..should be Ingersoll ROM.
Autocorrect fail....
What also helps is be fully charged...do your quad right after fresh boot and stop/shutdown all background processes you can..that's when you get best score.

Edit: hey he just posted his kernel ad a separate package...will make things interesting.
Guys, none of those kernels worked , I had to restore my Android to a previous backup.
Anything I can do?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Coredroid 5 is based off the the leaked GB rom no custom OC kernels are available. 1500 is about what I get with that rom also. If you want higher quadrant scores you need a froyo 2.2 based rom and kernel.

You'll prolly have to download a Rom with an oc kernel and wipe everything before you install it.
May not be what you want to do...but might be the only way to get what speeds you're wanting.
Otherwise...you'll have to wait till there's an oc kernel for the Rom your using.
yelp there isnt Oc of the core with gingerbread.. they do a 2.2 with oc. i havent done those yet cause i do like this gingerbread.. Im just going to keep with this V5.0 MIUI guys have the OC kernal for their gingerbread but they have more steps than i wanna deal with.
hi i been trying to get 1.8 ghz speed on my sensation, but couldn't find anything that will show step by step.
right now i have revolutionary hd 3.0.3 rom. with revolutionary hd stock kernal. and in the setcpu i couldn't get more then 568 mhz speeed.
can anyone please explain and point me at the right direction.
thans
most likely you need setcpu to auto detect your overclock...its a setting, click menu and then device selection
1.8 ghz is very unstable and could damage your device
Dont use setcpu.
Its better to leave it "ondemand". Its much safer.

Firstly, if you're on the stock kernel you won't get 1.8GHz - max on stock is 1.2GHz, so you'll need a custom kernel to allow those speeds. For SetCPU, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All - go to SetCPU and clear data. Then go into SetCPU and select Auto Detect. It should then give you up to 1.2GHz.
You should not need Setcpu if you use Android HD Revolution Rom because the rom come with that overclock on it. Go look yourself. You will need root however.

isn't it right, that the costum kernel just speed up ONE core of the cpu?

Previously that was the case, but Revolution HD 3.0.3 has a script you can flash that applies OC to both cores. Revolution HD 3.0.4 no longer needs the script flashed on top and comes with a custom kernel out of the gate running at the processors true speed of 1.5ghz.

You probably won't be able to clock that high anyway... You'll must likely reboot higher on anything higher than 1786 mhz....

custom ROM + stock kernel = no OC
custom ROM + custom kernel = OC
basically you need to flash custom kernel, mike already posted in his thread for sensation custom kernel.
there is a kernel that support till 2Ghz, but i don't recommend though, your phone gonna be hot and the battery won't last long.
and on-demand governor is the best.
I got up to 1.7Ghz running stable using Android Revolution and an RCmix kernel i think it was. Battery drain was quite bad on that kernel though so switched to the stock Revolution HD kernel running at 1.56GHz, stable and good battery life
Using QuikWiz with whatever kernel is included with that ROM (Da_G's, IIRC), I pretty much can't OC at all. I'm stuck at the default 1566MHz, the closest bump up at 1728 is too high and my phone crashes. I just flashed TPCv3 which also uses Da_G's kernel and came to the same result - can't OC past 1566MHz.
Firstly, is there anything I can do to make my phone stable at 1728MHz? What do you guys have your phones set to?
Quadrant/AnTuTu screenshots welcome.

Stock ROM here.. run 1728/1782 all the time.. no issues.. Don't have any screenshots, but get 3900+ quadrant, 6700+ Antu and 7800 CFbench. No sod's.. get 24+battery life .. its lovely.
Will using Setcpu allow me to overclock the cpu on rooted stock 4.0.4 or does the stock kernel not allow it?
Use the oc method from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648421
@Mtn - While not wanting to deviate from the OP, correct me if I am wrong but OP mentions stock 4.0.4 whereas your link points to ScV7 based on ics leak for the OC method. So will it work?
Also would appreciate if you could advise which one is better, SetCPU, AnTuTu CPU Master, Android Overclock (J Rummy). My primary question is after ICS OTA the Cpu has automatically scaled up to 1200 so what will be the safest OC value therefore without destabilizing the system?

Those overclock modules will work on any ics version for the A2. Rdavict's flashable zip is the easiest method. Personally i use nofrills cpu and as far as oc values that differs from chip to chip. My first A2 would do almost 1.4 while my new one gets flaky after 1.3
Go here and at the bottom of the first post download the tweakerz alpha app.with it you can adjust clock speed and voltage quickly but it wont stick through a reboot. So if you set a bad oc you wont be sol

That app sure makes it simple.
I've been looking and searching for an overclock kernel for my d2g which I finally have running CM7.1.0. Since the unit came with 629, I used the unofficial cm rom from kang?pooka? We all know it uses the gb leaked kernel 2.6.32.9, and the os version is of course 2.3.7.
Suprisingly, everything works great, but I'm just never satisfied unless I'm overclocking lol.
Advice on a daily user kernel that's compatible with this cm7 port? Not just any droid 2.6.32 oc kernel will work right?
[Edit]
Partially solved,
I used the Milestone Overclock and SetCPU combination, seems to be working ok for now...
You cannot swap kernels on DROID2/D2G/DX. Their bootloaders are locked. Unsigned kernels cannot be installed.
There are apps and governors that let you overclock the CPU, though.
Oh that explains my failure to find any oc kernels for it lol and I should have known, since I know it has a locked bootloader. I use SetCpu for underclocking, which I know has an option to pull custom freqs from a text file, but I have been hesitant to try that if the speeds aren't supported in the kernel.
I'll look into it more and look at additional governors.

I made some progress, using Milestone Overclock to mod the kernel and SetCPU to control the clock. I found that I'm only stable up to 1340 Mhz with a vsel of 80.
This is progress, but I am more than significantly disappointed considering my last HTC Desire Z clocked from stock 800 to 1.5 ghz with no problems at all (besides obvious heat) lol.
I shall keep at it!
