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:

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?

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.

Whos phone is the fastet?

i think users of xda should post their benchmark speeds to see who has the best speed so i will start off

I got 2602 on Quadrant on my Atrix. Dont forget that is without it running fully optimized on Android 2.3/4 for its duel core processor. The new cersion shpuld come sometime this year.

Humble 4.5 overclock kernel

Hey everybody, I'm running the latest Humble and I'm lovin it, but I was just curious if anyone knew of any overclock kernels out there that would be compatible with me build. Thanks for all that help me!
Sent from my Droid Charge HUMBLE 4.5 using XDA App

Because we are still on leaked builds there are no gingerbread kernels that support overclocking. Some people use the tigrack app from the market to force oclverclock their phones, but I wouldn't recommend it.

fwiw p3droid tweeted earlier that a *possible* final GB build (2.3.6 but no build number was mentioned) submitted to verizon so we could *possibly* have an official update soon... sooooo if you wait it out it'll come then imnuts and imoseyon can work their kernel magic
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge

I'm using Tegrak overclock on humble 4.2 with Imoseyon 3.0.1 and its working good. Also allows u to change schedulers. Something I've never known how to do. Running Noop @ 1.2ghz and smooth as butter

Okay thanks guys, hopefully we do get an official release soon but even if we do I'm sticking with 4.5, my phone has never run smoother than it is right now.

Any ROM and kernel combo ya guys recommend?
Helping a friend root and flash his Thunderbolt.

The ThunderBolt probably won't see any fully working ICS ROMs until an official/leaked update is released with a working ICS RIL.

I'm patiently waiting for ICS on the thunderbolt. Until then, I'm really digging the express sense Rom
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA

There's no word on an ICS update eta. Unable to figure our the ril for data on ICS, the developers are stuck until source is released. The fastest I've ever overclocked my bolt to is 1.9, but 1.9 runs unstable on most setups, and 1.2-1.4 is more reasonable and stable. Thunderstick full blown with imoseyon's most recent mr4 kernel flies, and can be overclocked to 1.9 and remain fluid, I don't recommend any OCing beyond 1.2-1.4 on TB though. Thundershed with imoseyon's most recent aosp kernel is really fast too.

[Q] OC Kernel for d2g running CM7.1 kang/pooka?

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.

the 2.3.4 update seems to made under/over-clocking harder

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!
