What Am I Doing Wrong? (Overclocking Question)

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?

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.

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?

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.

safest overclock on GB 2.3.5

whats the safest overclock i can do to my charge, most ive done is 1.2ghz can i go 1.3 with no problems?>

I'm going to assume right off the bat you're on an EE4 froyo rom? the safest is 1.4ghz however not many peoples phones (myself included when I was on froyo) will be stable, there were random reboots and lockups galore... I was stable at 1.2ghz but as I said everyone's phones are different, but to answer your question yes you can go up to 1.4

how are you overclocking on GB?? we have no kernel source so this is not possible afaik just lagfix/ext4

ill post pics. hold on

i just dowloaded this app call tegrak overclock and it just asked me for superuser permission and i was able to overclock it to 1.2ghz.
i have it set to 100 - 1200 and its stable so thats why i was asking if it was safe to do 1.3ghz.

You can overclock with that, but personally, why would you use an app to load a module to overclock? You're forcing the system to do something it doesn't want to, which could easily lead to problems.

Good to see that tegrak works with the charge now and the people that want overclocking can have it. Always good to have the option to do something.

you need to change the model in the build.prop file.
it needs to say SCH-I510 not humble by Danalo1979 for the app to know what phone you are on.

I think you need to grab an OC kernal, and there is an app you can use for your processor. I think in development if you look at a sticky it tells you everything.

Just download and flash a custom kern that's OC'able and then install an app (I use setCPU) to over clock to your desired clock speed.

Quick question about SetCPU

Does SetCPU do any good for my phone if I'm using a stock kernel? Right now, I'm running WeaponG2x with stock kernel.
Also, if I do need a custom kernel to use SetCPU, can someone recommend a good kernel?
Thanks.

You could underclock/undervolt and set profiles, but not overclock. There are only two OTA based kernels for G2x, Dragon or Faux.
Dragon:

Probably the only difference is which one your phone works best with. You should try them both out for a couple of days nd then stick with whichever u like the best.

For weapon you'll want to use faux's kernel. He has a thread in developement somewhere with his gingerbread, froyo, and weapon roms

Flashing my first kernel, need some input?

I have synergy 1.3 right now on my phone. Have rooted and flashed this rom with no problems so far by following what I have read on this wonderful site. I would like to try and flash Imoseyon's leankernal. I have read that this works extremely well with synergy's 1.3. I have been following the steps from this guide > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 and I have installed ez recovery. So couple questions.
1. I change the recovery to CWM 6.0.1, then hit the flash button and then the reboot recovery button?
2. will flashing a kernel change any settings on my phone for instance I am running apex launcher pro have everything set up the way I like it will all be the same after reboot?
3. is wiping cache/dalvik necessary? I have read elsewhere that when flashing kernels it is not necessary at all?
thanks!

1. Yes. I selected the 6.0.1 from the dropdown and then flashed it. I then made a nandroid and tested restore. I came from twrp 2.2 and wanted to make sure it restored fine.
2. Flashing the kernel will not effect your apps.
3. I didn't but it won't hurt clearing caches.

I finished it up. I had to go back and reflash with 12-2 because the blue led wouldn't go away. Luckily I found that by reading farther through the thread. seems to be working great..thanks for your help again!

Oops. Should have mentioned that. I found out that if you get the kernel from his "latest" link it is the 12 version and not 12-2. I posted in the rootz thread about that but it likely got buried with the problems peppe are reporting about using the kernel with 1.4.
Good to hear that you got 2 (?) flashes with no problems. How's it working on your phone?

Yeah they need to update that link I had actually read about it earlier when reading through the posts but forgot about it last night when downloading the initial link. So far so good. Very smooth haven't had a chance to test batter life will do that at work today giving it a full charge this morning.

Here you go. This is my battery life on 1.3 with the lean kernel and the app CPU sleeper. When I go to sleep I under clocked it at 384 ghz or something like that..then over clocked at 1.7 with the on demand govener and the I/O set to so..this is by far the best battery life I've gotten.

That's pretty good battery life there! What are you underclocking? Min and max or just the min? What are you using to set your CPU clocks? I've been using RomToolbox. I have thinking about dropping the coin on SetCPU, but want to make sure it's what everyone is using to get this great of battery life. Sorry to thread hijack. I've come from a DX and didn't mess with these settings that much.

I have systemtuner but don't really know much about overclocking/underclocking at the moment. Not really sure what I should be touching. That is damn good battery life though.
