If I'm going to overclock my phone on cm7 what would be the best speed or should I just leave it and how do I freeze my blot wear
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Ive been using hellfirephoenix rom which is an offshoot of cm7 and i can overclock to 1.5 ghz easy, which is the max safe setting id say for everyday use. You also have to have a kernal which supports 1.5 ghz though such as faux123's kernals.
In order to freeze stuff i use AntTek which you can get on the market its very easy to use. Otherwise you can buy the full version of titanium backup i believe.
Use morfic's kernels. There is no max safe overclock, it's up to what your phone can handle. I am sitting comfortably at 1.6
I read you can use pimp my CPU to overclock but I can't find the app

Yes you can but I couldn't find a link for that on xda. Id say setCpu is still better. Its also free for xda members

You must be blind then, it's on XDA, and it's also free for XDA members. I don't like the UI of it though.
Not blind found it they want you to down load it from the market so its not free

Does overclocking have any downside to it? Like more battery drain or something?

less stability is the main issue if you OC too high. if you set the right profiles in setcpu you can actually get much better battery life.

Yes. But combined with undervolting I get better than stock battery life running at 1.6.

can anyone recommend "the best" overclocking app for x10?
not sure if it matters, but im running [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01]
X10 cannot be overclocked yet.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
You can use setcpu but it wont overclock. We need custom kernel. So farr there's no custom kernel for x10.
But you can use setcpu to reduce the screenoff MHz. It might help to save more battery.

because you need a custom kernel to increase the possible range of values... the underclocking value is already within the range of possible values

... And as on any phone overclock thread, never forget our devices are NOT AT ALL intented to do overclock.
Carefully check our CPU's internals, because you will probably make your phone very hot, unstable, battery sucker and useless - it will self-stops because of overheat.
Or try in your fridge, in North Pole, or build a watercooling system.
Did I mention your phone won't be as mobile as before ?
Just kidding, but seriously guys, overclocking phones is useless today. Few years ago, it was nice (as we got very low frequency), but now we have very powerful devices... Don't expect to overclock as you do with Core i7 or Pentium IV...
Would it work if i would be on baseband .58 which is the newest?

the baseband is just the radio of the phone, it has NOTHING to do with overclocking...
the kernel is what controls that
hmmm no overclocking available till custom kernel can be booted man
Droid Overclock is an app I ran across on the Market today with all sorts of nice features.
It may have been out for awile, I just didnt see it.
It costs $1.50. Very Nice App
Looks like it does alot more then setcpu
Oh yeah, I bought this app when I had my d2. Wasn't sure if it supported the incredible though and I just use the built in overclocking in CM.
Its a sweet app though and jrummy did a nice job with the interface.

Makes your processor operate at a faster speed, speeding up your phone. It kills your battery faster though.

Actually (What effects screen brightness and OC CPU have on battery) speeding up your cpu doesn't effect that battery as much as you think its very minimal. So overclock all you want
Does it harm your phone in any way?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
This actually looks a lot better than SetCPU. I like it.
If you overclock too high, to a incompatible setting, the phone will just go into a loop mode. The setting won't be stable.. it errors itself and can't correct it. So you need to scale it back down. Sorry if I don't know all the terms and such.. dinc's are fast just to begin with. I oc'd so I could try and get better benchmark scores. It worked and the phone was stable to where i could use it all the time problem free. I managed to get scores I could be.. once that happened I stopped clocking up, and started scaling back. Undervolting the system with a different kernel / governer setting will yield you the best battery life..

You have to have a kernel that allows overclocking.

Are you using a custom kernel??
If you are use pimp my cpu to oc
G2X
Also, in case you didnt know.. Kernels may state 1.5Ghz and such but that doesnt mean YOUR phone will be able to go that high. Every device is different so every device's has a different max frequency.
Set CPU currently doesn't work with out kernels. You must install one of the OC/UV kernels from the development section and use the pimp my cpu app to overclock
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Ok, that makes sense I'm using the EB 1.04F trinity kernel +48 and was using pimp my cpu and I can overclock just fine there but I wanted to try out setcpu out.
I have it over clocked @ 1.2 -50 in all frequencies and scheduler is the default one. Force Min Frequency is checked as well.
Thanks

On a side note, my g2x has been highly unstable after leaving it sit while using pimp my cpu. However, I created a .txt file with clock frequencies and I was able to use setcpu with little to no side effects. But after all, what is ocing even good for? Benchmarks... Mt4g, n1, g1, mt3g, hd2. Tried ocing on all of them and didn't see a noticeable day to day difference compared to stock frequency...

On the mt4g I was able to play dungeon defenders OCed at 1.5 without much lag. Without it the game was almost unplayable because it would lag like crazy when the graphics got too intense. But on the downside it sucked my battery dry within hours

Hey guys...
So I see alot of threads on battery life issues, on multiple forums.
I figured itd be good to have a thread about how you guys are getting the phenomenal battery life.....
What apps and how are you using them to get the crazy hours?

I'd just like to know your opinions on it, does it save battery, performance? What app do you use? Btw, i know that there is no best app, i am just asking for an opinion so dont flame...lol
It works well for me. Seems to extend battery life. I use oc/uv beater or incredicontrol depending on the ROM.
You have to try and find the lowest voltage where the ROM is still stable under load.
Undervolting saves battery by the pure fact that your CPU gets less power dissipation. How much battery - depends on the setup, the CPU isn't the only power-hungry device in the system. If you use a lot of screen, by reading, for example - undervolting won't help you much. On the other hand, it'll help your standby time, it'll somewhat reduce the heating of the phone and save the battery this way, etc.
OC/UV beater for me, too.
I'll try out oc uv beater. Is it on Google play? Can't seem to find it, otherwise I'll just get it off of a rom or something

It's a not-under-development (old) app on XDA.
Yeah, found it, do you know if you can use it concurrently with setcpu?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
No reason to. It was meant to control kernel options, using the clock and voltage scalers built into kernels, and not to set the options in runtime like SetCPU.
