Hi,
I'm quite new to Android and forum, but within 15minutes I S-offed and rooted my phone. I still don't know how to overclock the desire s. I used "search" but I found nothing. Could anyone help me and either write me an intruction what to do step-by-step or provide me with appropriate topic? I'll be greatful!

You'll need a combination of a custom KERNEL (that supports O/C) and a custom ROM (some come with an O/C daemon built in)
time for some reading.
Ok, so one more question just in case. May I use any ROM with any kernel or I have to match ROM to kernel (or opposite)?
Generally I would say custom roms come with the most suitable kernel.
The easiest way to overclock is to simply download an app from the market that will o/c your cpu.

Although I'd also as that unless you'r e intending on playing games then the desire s should be fast enough without over clocking as ultimately that will reduce battery life.even the sense 3 rooms when configured and optimised correctly don't lag at normal operating speeds

You're still on stock ROM right?
If so, install this kernel from recovery and SetCPU once done. OC away.

Yes, it would go a little faster
Seriously tho, it might run a little hotter, for a shorter length of time, and be slightly less stable - all depending on how much you overclock it, what settings you use, etc.
Try downloading an app from the market that will overclock your cpu and see what happens.

And NEVER max the oc setting. Some kernels allow up to 1.7ghz but your phone would be fried in a week and be incredibly unstable. Can't recommend going past 1.2ghz if you want your phone to last til your next upgrade date. For the most part though, oc is unnecessary on this phone.

Gotta agree there. Stock CPU settings are more than adequate for any use.

I just read somewhere in other forum, if I overclock my phone, I will have problem on my phone.
Maybe because of the cpu overheat or what?
Basically, yes.
Why not use the phone as it is, and see how you like it? If you do decide to overclock, do it in small increments. Honestly, I find it fast enough at normal speeds, playing games, browsing, etc.

+1 to you. 1Ghz already fast enough. No lagging at all like some other phone.

I was quite interested in this overclocking buisness. I overcloked my phne to 1.7ghz, used it for a while and it froze twice, requiring a reboot.
There was definitely a speed incresas, but 1ghz on lbc mod is already plenty smooth!
Now I've set up setcpu profiles to have myphone only overclocked at 1.2ghz when its chargingand I'm using it. But also a profile to limit the temp at 41degrees to 825-245mhz.
But when its unplugged, u have left it on default at 1024-245mhz on demand. Great battery life compromised with great speed.

Maybe you'll need a voltage bump at 1.7GHz. But even if it's stable, it will definitely be hotter. Not good for long term.
1.1-1.2GHz should be stable for daily use.

I'd be EXTREMELY careful running your CPU at that speed. 1.5 has been considered "safe" by most people, but anything over that and you're tempting fate. Sure, it's cool to see your phone running at 1.8 or 1.9ghz, but your CPU is going to be forced waaaay out of its specifications and it's possible to damage it beyond repair. This is especially true if you are over-volting. Heat + Voltage = CPU Killers. However, even if you aren't over-volting, it could still draw more power than it was designed to do, thereby increasing heat, overstressing CPU and power supply...
So yeah, be careful.
Thanks man i just OC to this point to se what this phone can do i think this is the first and last High Quadrant can reach becauce later on the day i try to repeat the same benchmark and no reach the 3400 points. I think the CPU was enought stressed and now cant handle 1.9 Ghz. freq. but is cool. Right Now im running with LordMod 4 CFS clocked at 1.3 Ghz and works greathe. this give me 2700 +/- Quadrants and its enought power to make all kind of task and apps running a breeze.
Running any LorDMod kernel results in no wifi for me. I'm being lazy with manually pushing the .ko file though, so I dunno.
WiFi works fine here. Im. Use cyanogen mode 7 with lordmod 4.0

what a terrible thing!
What I am wondering and before you attack me I did research this and couldn't find anything specific to the Inspire. I want to know generally what is a good speed to underclock the inspire to achieve maximum batter and before you say every device is different I'm asking for a general idea not a specific one. Also do you think that overclocking has a big impact on batter I am overclocking right now at 1.3 ghz do you think that I'll notice a difference. And I know I have to test it myself but I just want others opinion on it.
I have the same question.
FWIW, I run the OnDemand Governor and underclock at 883200 (245000 min) and don't notice a slowdown in any apps I run except angry birds (I ramp it up to 1.2 to play that). I haven't run any benchmarks or anything to see how it might improve the battery, since I really don't need to worry about it. It goes on the charger every night and I've never seen it below 50% when I plug it in.
I've been running a relatively stock DesireHD Gingerbread ROM based on the Asian WWE GB (2.37.707.3) but as of yesterday, I've been running one based on the telus GB released a few days ago (2.43.661.1). My kernel is custom based on stock HTC source for the 2.6.35.10 with OC/UV support added as hacked from the LeeDroid kernel tree. My source is here:

I'm running at my rom's default (1017mhz). Instead of underclocking, I use the conservative governor. Battery life is good, but I also haven't noticed a battery drain when overclocking (I've been up to 1228mhz). I didn't test/run it for an extended period of time (1 day), but I only noticed a slight bump in performance.
I've heard of people on my rom (GingerBeast), clocking down to 768mhz without noticeable slowdown. As you stated, it just depends on the rom.
I have my phone set at:
Max: 768000
Min: 230000
This works for me in literally all the situations.

Thank you its like they either yell at you to search or they give you all devices are different you have to try it. I'm not looking for a definitive answer I just wanted an idea of what has worked for them. Seriously this forum has some rude people exspecially that Scott guy hasn't helped me once just tells me to search I said I searched and he says its on google but when I bring up the page nothing. This forum would be 1000x better if people didn't have a stick up their asses everytime someone asked a question.

I hope my response wasn't considered rude, but the question really is too vague to answer. If there were some magic combination of OC/UV that worked for everyone, everyone would be using it.
They say that if you ask five New Yorkers their stance on an issue, you'll get six different opinions. Similarly, five smart phone users probably have six different opinions about the best setup for their device and none will be applicable to your situation.
Yea but I wasn't asking for the perfect combination out just wanted to know what others use to get an idea of what I should set it at but clearly you don't get that

Hi guys,
I just flashed my Inspire to the RCMix3D ROM. Is there a way to overclock the Inspire? I've seen a few apps on the market for it, like setcpu, but I'm not sure where a good place to start is. That and underclocking to help save battery life. Sorry if this is a repeat thread. Couldn't find any relevant to the ROM I have.
Thanks in advance!

Imm on a similar ROM. RcMix Kingdom rom and I use CPU master free from the market. I underclock to: 245 and overclock anywhere from 1.2 to 1.7 usually with a conservative setting to save battery life. It works rele well.
*srry iff I typoed*

Get setcpu from the Market, works great!
Just be careful when overclocking. Don't overclock too high. It can cause issues and if you have set on boot checked, it can a real pain if you set it too high. I usually don't go any higher than 1200 mhz.

coredroid is good
The newest version of Coredroid (v.8.1) allows for a 2ghz overclock! be careful tho, as running the processor that fast WILL make the phone very hot! and drain your battery. If for some reason tho you need the performance, its there.
I need it to overclock my phone, but I would rather not mess it up myself. Many thanks

No point, dual-core overclocking has JUST come onto the development scene for the sensation, and it has lol-bugs and is definitely inconsistent for everyone. Until all that can get hammered out, there is no point to overclocking, unless you are one of those nightly guys (I am )
The first thing is that only 1 core gets overclocked, beyond that, only 1 core is active for the majority of the time on the Sensation.
Benchmarks aren't even accurate because benchmarks like Quadrant don't even activate the second core.
However, if you want dual-core active all the time, I recommend flashing ARHD 3.0.3 with the dual-core script. It does work.
Faux Kernel 0.0.8 has come out which offers dual-core overclocking, but it does come with it's own handful of problems. Many are reporting boot-loop issues (IMO it's due to the kernel being somewhat unstable as well as setting too high of an overclock for initial settings) You need to flash the kernel as well as the dual-core script and then manually edit the script in system/etc/dual-core/main_script to set your clock speeds.
I'm going to also repeat what the other said.
SETCPU AUTOMATICALLY DISABLES ONE CORE AND DOES NOT OVERCLOCK IT NONE of the overclocking apps are dual-core ready. Heck, Android OS isn't even ready for dual-core. There have been lots of workarounds to get dual-core supported on these devices from the "factory" itself.
What do you guys use to control the CPU speed?
I've used setCPU in the past, it seems to work. SickSense ROM does come with one, and that also seems to work well. I'm curious what you guys use. Currently I'm using KingCobra ROM and he included the DualCore MOD which is supposed to make the second core work faster and thus improve performance.
I think I'm going to install setCPU and set it on On-Demand. Not entirely sure what the best settings are for speed and also for battery life. I am more concerned about battery life while at the same time my phone can't be sluggish. Also I've noticed a lot of battery savings tools do work, but they do so by taking away things I need. For an example, the awesome battery took that comes with SickSense works wonderfully but the default supersaver setting cuts off my data and bluetooth making the phone almost useless.

And it works! thank you for the .zip, I didn't know where to look for it.
See the thread in my sig around sunday night there will be an updated version (hopefully - work permitting) It will have a few new things that should help out this device. Like on the fly setting changes so it will edit the cpu when it comes online. It will work like a daemon.
