Droid Overclock [Pretty Sweet App]

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.

Anyone know if there is anything like this for the Vibrant 4G?

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..

Set cpu 2.13 overclock

I can't seemed to overclock over 1000 ghz. Am I missing anything?

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

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...

Over clock is good for overall performance.

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

[Q] changing governor and io

Has anybody tried using an app like no frills CPU gov. To change these settings and if so with what result? Anything better?
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App

I have used an app called system tuner I changed my cpu governor settings from moto hot plug to performance so far its much faster but it takes a little bit of battery and screen off governor changes to default no changes
Sent from my speedy Motorola atrix 2

I look at the other app they basically do the same lol
Sent from my speedy Motorola atrix 2

I personally like setCPU it is worth the price for the paid version. Try the free version out, it just wont let you reload the setting on boot. It will not take battery either. I used it on an inspire and a galaxy s and now this phone with great success.

I was wondering what mot hotplug governor was so I looked it up. Here it is
mot-hotplug is a CPUFREQ governor that optimizes SMP doing a fast poweron/off of the second core. It will make your device to act more smoothly and faster in some conditions.
Pretty cool stuff

I run on demand and notice no difference other than a bit more smoothness.

CPU changing speed

you only under clock for battery right? i assume you over clock at home right? or is it bad to change it often? i wish there app that change cpu depending on location. is this possible?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Your CPU speed actually changes on its own rather often based on the load that it's taking on. For example, if your phone is just idling, the load on the CPU is close to nothing, so it's going to clock itself down to lower frequencies to save not only battery life, but itself from wearing out. Now say you're playing a game or watching a movie or something, it's going to do what it can to clock itself up to speeds to process whatever it's doing the best it can. Unless you have a STRICT clocking profile set up (say, min 1728, max 1728, performance), your clock is going to go up and down quite often. Download CPU Spy from the market and you'll see pretty well what I'm talking about.
Hope I was able to help!

I could not really see a situation where that would be ultimately useful, but yes download CPU Spy as the poser above me said and have a look at after a day's data gathering.

you should only have one cpu over clocking right.

correct only one. Personally I use fauxclock with faux's kernal

pimp my rom init.d tweaks

I searched xda for init.d scripts and found a Google play store app that let's you select different tweaks in an easy to use format... i applied a few tweaks and have not had any issues with boot loops or phone malfunctioning... also... i just found this so I haven't tested performance...also...these tweaks are init.d which are available using dwiths tweaked 3.1 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895049 ... or use dslices scripts and tweaks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981446 to get init.d to work

just as a warning... anything other than low will cause terrible lag... the medium values are wrong for the phone...

Awesome keep is posted man. If there is a significant difference I might try it.

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
