What's a decent temp monitor on the market? Free and/or Paid
Also, what are most of you running on Setcpu? Ondemand? Performance?
Setcpu doesnt work.
Disregard, i see that toast 1.1 enables it.
Setcpu comes with a widget that reports battery temp.I'm using that
I use temp monitor lite.. Its free and if you read up on it, its probably the most reliable temp monitor. It shows in the task bar and doesnt have a widget. Its very good on battery.
The setcpu widget very rarely updates. Its not reliable at all. It showed my temps at 35C for 24 hours straight, if i checked inside of the program in System Info it was never that high.

Its setcpu's widget.. it shows your min clocks and max clock and below that it shows temp in celsius and fahrenheit
what?!!!!! look at that. thats pretty nice. still though i like it in the taskbar. but this is good fo me seein my freqs everytime i go home. nice guys thanx for the heads up
ty for answering the temp monitor ?

always use ondemand.. if you want to benchmark or something then just set your min to 767 but move it back down afterwards.
ondemand will save your battery life and your phones life
I use "BatteryLife" from "Curvefish"
Nice looking battery widget that's 2x1 with adjustable color settings, and a nice temp monitor.
What's funny is SetCPU and BatteryLife report two different temps. SetCPU is typically lower while BatteryLife is higher by about 2-3 degrees F. Weird considering they're both looking at the same sensor.
Hey guys I am using overclock widget setting it to 1200000 Max 1000000 min screen on 500000 / 200000 screen off
and this tablet flies, and YouTube app works a lot better now as well

SetCPU does not work on the gtab, this does though?
It looks like setCPU wants to work but can't autoconfigure for this device... it offers to load the settings from a file or choose correct device, of course nothing is really close...
Overclock Widget doesn't want to work on Stock TNT install as says it only works on HTC G1 or G2...
For anyone who got overclock widget to work, does it write a settings file and if so can you please post a copy... think if that's in place then maybe it will work on stock...

"you don't have a g1/g2 only works with that" is what i get from the one posted. the one from the market installed and works.... i think. it just says 1999 all the time and after i set the clock speed everytime i open back up the widget it has dropped back down to 1000000. not sure if this is working

that may be but how can you verify the cpu is actually overclocked, system panel doesn't detect the cpu for me so can't tell there. whenever i set it at 1.2 then save and exit, when i return it is back down at very low setting. it won't stay overclocked, for me anyways.
where did you get the overclock kernel to set it over 1ghz?
I don't think its actually overclocking the CPU bit it does allow you to change frequencies under 1000. Try running linpack when you make changes and you'll notice that it only works up to 1000.

Set cpu doesn't overclock by its self if I remember correctly. It gives you manual control the scaling of the cpu. On the droid and other devices a kernel module is used to add overclocking support. You can search overclock.ko to find info on it. I think this module has to be modified for each device it is used on.

If you go to user defined in advanced settings its right there. remember with overclock you have to save settings for it to work (in advanced). It actually goes up to like 1.25 ghz but I think the processor is only 1.2 so use at own risk at that high of a boost.

This is correct. The kernels that we are running are not likely to be capable of overclocking. To anyone claiming that the overclock widget is working, could you please do some benchmarking in an application like Linpack or Quadrant?
Until Viewsonic releases source code that would allow us to compile our own kernel, we will not be able to get any where with proper performance improvements; CFS/BFS, overclocking, improved multitouch, etc.

Youtube app without it stutter pause play repeat. With its smooth so it passes the YouTube bench
Ok, so, on my LG Vortex (rooted) its getting to the point I can't even play angry birds, too laggy. I'm poor, try to save money whenever possible, so I got a free overclock app that looked promising, and wasn't a demo/trial.
Market Link
It works great, however, just setting the clock speed up one level, my phone's getting really warm, and its unnerving me. I'd rather not have to replace it. Thing is tho, I've changed a lot of options, trying to find a good balance, but its been a few days so I don't exactly remember what the defaults were. So, my question is, if I delete the app, will it reset my CPU MHz? And if not, how would i set it back to normal?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
Everything should get set back to defaults if you uninstall the app. Another way would be to go to settings->applications->manage applications->overclockwidget->clear cache and data->reboot.
If you want to try a different free app to adjust the cpu speed, there's CPUBoostLite which has a widget which shows the cpu speed and battery temp. Another would be No-Frills CPU Control but does not show the batt temp. An app like Battery Monitor Widget can though along with the battery's current(mA) draw.

If the app achieved the overclock by altering a system file, uninstalling the app will not change anything.
File changes made by an application will not get reverted on their uninstallation.
The app doesn't have a revert function?

If the cpu speed isn't getting "set on boot" then each reboot will restore to default values. If it is, then either uninstalling or clearing the app's data will prevent that from occurring. The kernel/ramdisk(boot.img) resets the cpu to whatever is set as the default which is why apps like setcpu or cm7 cpu controls use the "set on boot" option to retain settings through a reboot.
Off-topic but your SD Maid app is great Dark3n. Been using it for a while now with the unlocker.
I had set on reboot checked for a while, but not anymore. Would that change anything?

That option, if checked, just makes it so whatever values you set survive through a reboot. Basically used once a good set up is found so you won't have to redo it each time. However, with it set you run the risk of getting into a bootloop if you overclock too much as you wouldn't be able to lower it. So always make sure the phone is stable before having the changes set on boot.

The settings to change are located in:
Code:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
The familiar ones are scaling_max_freq, scaling_min_freq, scaling_governor, or governor specific setting in a directory named after the governor(i.e. ondemand/up_threshold)
so, wipe app data, uninstall, and reboot, and i'll be good to go? or is there a step i'm missing?

You only really need to either uninstall it or wipe it's data to get back to defaults. Uninstalling is probably the simplest and most effective and you can always install it back on or another app to play with over/underclocking.
Thanks guys, you rock. For future reference, what would you guys say the best paid and best free overclock apps are?

Someone else will have to chime in since these days I just use cyanogenmod's built-in cpu settings. I suspect most would recommend setCPU(Paid)...it's certainly the most popular. As far as a free app, I'd personally try No-frills CPU Control. People seem to like it and it has a nice safety feature of auto-disabling set on boot if the phone doesn't shut down properly(ie crashes).
I'd have CM7 if my Vortex were supported. >_>
Thanks for the suggestions, I thanked the best posts.
And I'll let you know how everything worked out after i use it for a day or two.
How do I check the CPU Temp on the tf? I tried d/l a few apps but none of them seem to work or compatible. Any suggestion?
Get a app fron Antutu called CPU MASTER. This is an app that allows for overclocking and such.....if you do not have an overclocking kernel....DO NOT USE IT!!!
However it comes with a nice little widget that will display your temp, battery life and other stuff. You can use that.
If you do decide to use an overclocking kernel just go to this thread.

Why shouldn't you use it with a stock kernel?
The kernel is what controls the possible speeds, not the app. The app is just an interface to allow the user to set what the kernel has already provisioned.

I know that but there is always a possibility that if a setting was activated higher than his stock kernel allows it COULD cause trouble.
It is a "Just in case" scenario.

You don't understand what I am saying.
The kernel controls things like clock speed, voltage, yadda yadda, etc. This app just interfaces with these kernel settings to allow the user to select them.
Try it for yourself. You will see that it only lets you select up to 1Ghz with the stock kernel. It's actually kind of nice for people with the stock kernel because it allows you to _underclock_ your device if you want.

Ok, sorry. I don't mean to be rude but you're wrong and telling someone wrong information.
Try it for yourself and you'll see that you can't change anything the kernel doesn't allow.
Plenty of people use the OC apps like this one (or SetCPU) to underclock their device or add speed profiles for certain situations.

it's the battery temp, not cpu. i couldn't find any app or widget to see my cpu temp.
cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.3/i2c-4/4-004c/ext_temperature
I wrote a script to display many other things (batt temp and current CPU mv) ... but that is the CPU temp. There is also
cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.3/i2c-4/4-004c/temperature
But the thermal throttling policies refer to ext - and both values are very close to each other. Ext also happens to have more precision (.25 degC as opposed to rounding up or down to the nearest degree). So I look at ext.
echo -e "\033[0m Your CPU/System temp is: " "\033[1m `cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.3/i2c-4/4-004c/ext_temperature`"
Writing this in a 'script', making it executable, and calling it whatever will make it so you do not have to type the long path above.
Thus, in term emulator - it would look like this.
# whatever
Your CPU/System temp is: 40.0
Wow. Fancy.

You are the man ! I was looking for this.
Please read this post through thoroughly before downloading.
This app allows you to control your CPU voltages with an easy to use interface. You can increase or decrease voltages (undervolt or overvolt) for all frequencies or fine tune voltages for each individual frequency.
! HTC DEVICES, currently only single core devices are supported !
! ROOT is Required !
! Kernel that supports HAVS or SVS voltage adjustment REQUIRED !
Get it over at http://www.incredikernel.com
IncrediControl is now also available in the market:
IncrediControl
IncrediControl - Ad Free
Additionally, all donators are eligible to receive the Ad Free version. It doesn't matter how much or how little you donate or have donated. If you don't want to purchase the app from the market, you may donate using the button on this page. Please register on the site first and include your username in the comments box.
All previous donators, please register on the site if you have not done so and contact me with your username!
NOTE: The settings in the general tab are only functional in kernels that have implemented the simple sysfs interfaces for usb fast charging and audio boost. The tab will not show up if your kernel does not have these features. If you would like your kernel dev to implement the interfaces, please direct them to these two commits:
https://github.com/Chad0989/android_kernel_common/commit/a7c21fa0391c225900f93960362535179c0cecc9
https://github.com/Chad0989/android_kernel_common/commit/41dc138bae23dc7582de72a4d9895aaa8e1f8b2d
NOTE2: It is a requirement of the voltage adjustment that the kernel you are using has either the HAVS or SVS sysfs interface implemented. If it does not, it will not work.
NOTE3: Before using, please delete any boot scripts you may have in /etc/init.d that toggle any of the settings this app controls.
Get it at http://www.incredikernel.com
Restore script - use this if you went too low and find yourself in a boot loop. Flash through recovery:

maybe is good thing to post which kernel for desire s can use this.many users have no idea what kernel supports HAVS or SVS voltage adjustment..its just few of them actualy so u can maybe check and let us know.
Tiamat 1.0.4 does. I don't see any other recent ones listed on the forum here. If you give me a link to other kernels I'll check for you. No stock kernel does (this includes the default cm7 kernel).

kernel is unity v2 ...i think.

It appears that that kernel does not support the interface. If you're willing to test for me, I can pull the source for that kernel, implement the interface and submit a patch to the developer for inclusion. Just let me know if you would be willing to test for me.
EDIT: I got bored, so here:
http://chad0989.dyndns.org/mirror/unitykernel_sysfs.zip
Let me know if it works, make sure you have another kernel downloaded that you can flash in the event that this one doesn't boot.
tried the kernel. works a treat. thanks!

Major changes include:
Ad Free has now been turned into a key that removes the ads from the free version. This allows donors who have downloaded the ad free version from the site to update through the market.
HAVS voltage checking. Minimum voltages can no longer be set higher than maximum voltages.
Boot voltages are now stored in the application’s data directory. Boot settings will now persist if you update your ROM or restore the application and data from a backup.

Might be better off posting in the incredible thread next time, so we can keep this one desire discussion. But yes, you no longer need that script and are safe to delete it.
Audio boost is louder in call volume.
The check boxes uncheck themselves as a fail safe for users. I know a lot of users will leave it checked and then adjust voltages too low and end up in boot loops. This way if someone is playing with voltages, they aren't set on boot unless they explicitly click the set on boot box and click apply. If you have previously set on boot voltages, those will remain until you check the box again and click apply, then the previously set on boot voltages will be overwritten with the new ones. In the general tab, the box unchecks itself also just to be consistent with the behavior in the voltage adjustment tab.
