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.

What exactly is overclocking and what does it do? Sorry for the noob question

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?

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..

My phone always seemed to run about every game I threw at it flawlessly till I went to kk4. I'm on my third kk4 rom now and while everything seems lightning quick otherwise, my games seem to stutter quite a bit. I was just trying mc2 and every minute or so the game would stutter and go into the pause menu. Madden 12 is unplayable. Just picked up trial x2 and the first one ran flawlessly on my old froyo roms but again stuttering issues. What can I do to improve this? Clear memory before I launch?

So anything 3D intensive seems to run terrible right now. Very frustrating. Any suggestions? Everything will do the sudden hesitation, nothing is really playable right now. Help someone! Suggestions please!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Try ICS.. My games are faster and smooth than kk4 roms.
I wonder if this is drm related and titanium backup based issue. Because it'll run stuff just fine for maybe 20 seconds then it'll just pause, the screen will flash black and then it'll kick back on and run fine for a bit before it does it again.

Are you running a ROM that includes the thunderbolt tweaks or that has modified the LMK?
I'm currently running stocky 2.2.3 voodoo lag fix enabled, no other modifications
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You might want to check that you don't have any scripts hanging around in your init.d folder. Also, check the options for that kernel in CWM. I belive it changes your I/O scheduler and your Governor.
OK stupid question time where is the init.d folder and what do I look for when I get there and wouldn't flashing a new rom clear that anyway?

Not a stupid question at all. Some ROMs are no wipe and don't actully reformat certain areas of the system or data partitions.
/etc/init.d <---I would just check to make sure the folder is empty. If you have anything in there, move it to your SDCARD and then reboot.
OK checked the folder its empty and there were no performance tweaks options in the recovery, it's samauri kernal Btw.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I had to go read what was in that kernel as I haven't used that one yet. This is the only part that concerns me:
topiratiko's ORAM+ inspired LMK settings (not exactly the same but similar)
LMK settings can mess with game play if they are set too high. You could try flashing one of the corn kernels or even the stock kernel to see if that improves it for you. I think you would have to convert back to RFS but I'm not sure. I know Corn does support ext4.
If its no better, you could always flash back to Samuri.
Yeah I was on the corn kernel when I was on Saurom, no voodoo but ext formatting options

EXT4 = Voodoo lag fix
Corn also has the Voodoo Color and Voodoo Sound
Yeah I'm aware of that, wonder if it matters or not if I disable the lagfix before I install the corn kernel
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Check the OP post. I think you have to because the first time it boots it defaults to rfs and then you setup ext4 in the CWM
Cool I'll try swapping kernals when I get off work in a bit. Thanks for the help!

Glad to help out. It's the community support that makes XDA such a great place.
Well I'm on the corn kernal now and sadly nothings changed. I'm using asphalt 6 to test and since it has 3D cars in the menu, the same hesitation happens in the menu.... Hey I just had a thought, could it have to do with having the games on the sd card instead of internal memory?

It could. Try moving it to the internal memory and see if that improves things.
And I just moved asphalt to internal memory and no dice this is really frustrating me, and I'm on my third kk4 rom, i'm really starting to think at&t and samsung broke this rom somehow. I love the speed but it might be time to go back to cyanogenmod

What are the best roms, kernels, tweaks, mods and pretty much everything else? Because right now I have the Valhalla Black Final rom, sms kj6 i think for the rom, and the universal adernaline shot. Is there anything that can make my phone faster, because the games still lag a little sometimes.
I would use only the tweaks in VB, same kernel as you are now

For gameplay I haven't found a ROM that beats icbinb, and all the necessary tweaks are already built into it to make it as good as it can be.
However my favorite ROM is unnamed, and with adrenaline shot 14.1 its as close to icbinbs game performance as I've ever seen. And with the sms-kj6-v0.1.1-rc1+ kernel from bhundvens original kernel thread, UV/OC at 1.2, its the most stable I've seen. Literally no reboots.

Just curious why are you not using AS 15?
What's the difference bw as and booster shot? And as for oc, doesn't as already take care of that?

Because 14.1 works best for me. In my situation 14.1 is smoother than 15. I find updates don't always equal improvement.

Can it be used in addition to as, or are they pretty much the same?
You don't need both. DSexton wrote both of them. And most tweaks are written to delete or overwrite whatever else is in the folder.
But if you have as, is the phone already overclocked, or do we have to do that ourselves? Would it just be the same thing?
You need tegrak ultimate to oc. The paid version of the app. And it is definitely worth the money to undervolt for battery sake.
Ok so right now I have Valhalla Black Final rom, SMS Kj6 kernel, and Adrenaline shot 14.1 mod. Do you think I should flash a modem? because I don't know what they do.
Different modems are generally said to work better in different parts of the country. Try a different one and see what you think. You can always flash back to KJ6 if you want. And hit thanks.
Alright thanks for the help. For anyone else, I am running Valhalla Black, KJ6 and Adrenaline Shot 14.1, and the phone is running very smooth and is very responsive.
Just flash Val black and call it a day.

Funny, it has been working fine for me. For anyone who doesn't use an app like setCPU and is on the OLD baseband this would be great. This on the NEW bb WITH a screen off profile is even better. It's still not pre-new base band like drain, but I don't wake up with a mostly drained battery. I just looked at faux's release notes and it sounds pretty tailored to the new bb, so I think I will see how his does alone.

Jarvis kernel already have this implemented
Excuse me folks but alot of people can't use the new faux kernel and Jarvis kernel isn't exactly stable on all phones niether, the guy is simply sharing something he found, what about Harsh, Morfic, etc??? This works wonderfully with morfics kernel on Cm7.2 stable even with undervolting, I get huge battery saving now, so be easy gentlemen

When running as a script it cant find files it look for in /sys/power/ i think tegra has diff management so it doesnt work.. maybe simce faux implemented in hia kernel it doesnt work.. i am in limbo myaself.

so far... the best tweak was the disabling the sleepers... i did do the Internet tweaks... i got some of the best speed test results yet since I had the phone... but the Internet ping was short... so it may be because I was extremely close to a server...and my 4G at home is ok but not a clean 4g...so that test is not reliable... i would say it's a user preference

Best CPU Governor Tweaks?
Just curious to know what CPU Governor Tweaks are working best for people? Also, should the hardware acceleration and force gpu rendering options both be kept on together at all times for best results?

I use Tweaked 3.1 as my rom and it has always been best using ondemand for the governor... some people have used smartass when over clocking (tegrak is the only one so far reported to actually work to over clock our stock kernel) but this governor setting is not as good for battery consumption...so far I have only tested on demand(which I think is in dslices build of tweaked) some of these settings are new that I have not even heard of till this pimp my rom came out... One that comes to mind is the brazillion... the hardware excelleration I turned on but I left the force gpu settings off(I never tried it) because in the description it said it increased ram usage and the driod charge as one of its main complaints is lack of ram... these tweaks are so easy you can play and remove them as needed... that's what makes them great... it's you phone and you can make it like you like it...and if something really makes you happy... share it... please!... lol
