Best App For Overclock - HTC Desire S

I want to overclock my phone but I'm wondering the best app for this. Free or not, it doesn't matter for me. I want your suggestions, thanks a lot.

setcpu does what it should.
if you flash Fallout, you have another one already integrated into the system.

in fallout the oc app is integrated in the rom.

I use Rom toolbox, I think it's quite a under mentioned app.

im using jb, there is a option to max cpu frequency to 1516MHz.

Agreed with toxic-hero! Setcpu is very stable app that does what is has to do. Also faster than integrated app in Fallout

where do you get that set CPU is faster than an integrated overclock daemon (such as the one in fallout)?
IMO That's just not true...

I am only saying that, based on my own experience, fallout tweaks is slowly opening and also slow on applying new settings.
Setcpu opens immediately and applies immediately. At least no visual lag whatsoever.

that I agree with, but the benefit of an overclocking application should be judged on how quickly it makes the actual clocking changes to the CPU even shifting not how long it takes to configure, which is surely only a one off task.

Depends on the Rom. As written before some roms have integrated those settings. E.G. fallout and all CM based ones. Any app you can download is a little slower than this since it needs some time to apply the settings.

CM questions.

Well I'll start with what I think I'd think to be easy and i'm just not seeing it. OC daemon for aosp. I've seen it built in, but how to add to already installed ROM? Now another question. Even with pinky undervolt and the radio that I was recommended for the ROM blackice, I'm getting horrible better life
compared to when I had sense 3. Any idea on that? Thanks to any help someone can throw out.

For the OC Daemon, I would try searching the forums for a thread dedicated to it. If they have an installable .apk for it, you would simply download that and install like any other app. If its a system app, you would have to mount /system with say ES file explorer, copy it to /system/app and then assign the proper permissions.
My questions is if there is a way to confirm that undervolts are being applied. In the blackice thread some people were saying the included tool might not be applying them correctly. Thought id make a few posts here though so I could post in the actual thread lol.

OC/UV Beater will show you what your voltages are currently set to:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're referring to the OC daemon in ARHD I think that's written for his CPU scheduler. If you're on AOSP I would recommend SetCPU
Well with the OC daemon question, I have seen people build it into cm based roms. So I was just thinking, if they can do it that way, why not in a preinstalled ROM.

Thanks for the suggestion. After I asked I found out systune included in the rom showed the values and they are being applied.
Correct if I'm wrong but setcpu will anything that ocdaemon can do. I would just use that or choose a rom with it cooked in.
Setcpu just follows governors. the OC daemon uses governors but also has set clock and governor for screen off and on, therefore, saving battery life. Also better performance.

Setcou does all that and more. You can get it for free on these forums. It has way more than screen off profile. It has batt. Temp charging. batt Level profilr and more

Setcpu has always made my battery life horrid. The oc daemon has assisted me in achieving 2 days battery life with average to heavy usage.

Works fine here.

[Q] ICS Inquisition - running 1500MHz constant (no scaling back) - risk? bug?

Is this a bug in the rom, or is it safe?
It's constantly running on the OC of 1500MHz.
Usually the cpu is meant to scale down when idle. Not the case here.
Thanks
Are you using setCPU, system tuner, or any user app to OC?

It's OC'd out of the box
I just downloaded and run CPU MASTER FREE and it shows constant 1500MHz reading.
I think I will have to depart from this ROM (even though it's very good). I am assuming it will kill the already week battery

Try another CPU controller like system tuner, setcpu or no frills. Its not the roms fault.

UNderVolting, opinions, apps?

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.

[Poll] Favorite CPU App

I'm curious as to what everyone's favorite app for changing kernel frequencies is. I figured I'd do a poll thread to find out so that I wouldn't have to ask in different threads from time to time. If you want you can also list why in the comments.
I been using the built in CPU freq changers, works fine.. before that I use setcpu

I just started using Voltage Control. It seems pretty good. I heard some good things about setCPU and some bad. That's why I started this thread. I wanna know the difference between all of them cuz there's so many lol. Like, I don't know if some are the same app with just different names or if they are made and coded differently to handle things differenly.
I used setcpu before anything similar was integrated into ROMs, I bought it.after a while and haven't used it since. I don't overclock or anything because I don't use my phone for games, mainly media.

I'd say so. But I use to have an aria which was a 600MHz single core. I clocked it up to 806MHz. And that was considered fast 2 years ago!
With a dual core at 1.5GHz, I'd say it's nothing more than a battery drain if you aren't gaming. What I do however, is underclock my hox while the screen is off.

Using profiles? What do you underclock it to? Whenever I would do that I would set up a profile for screen off and use max 384 and min 192 or 384 but that may be a little extreme.

Same here....
I agree though, that there is rarely a real "need" to overclock unless you feel the rom is slow or you are an avid gamer..
I use SetCPU because it was the first app I came across, but I've stuck with it for the small features. I like being able to set notifications when individual profiles become active (useful for games), and seeing the "Time in State" pie chart lets me know if my CPU is being fussy when idling. Sure, other apps may have more features, but there's literally no reason for me to look for a new one
Rom toolbox pro works fantastic!

Using No-Frills, not a whole lot of features but the most lightweight app I have found for handling OC, I like SetCPU but I would get wakelocks it seemed using profiles, so didn't add much benefit IMO.

Best overclock value

Hello,everyone....recently I overclock my desire s and thanks to many of you I received many useful information so I want to share impression how overclocking has improved performance and battery to help other like us to know what and how to use overclocking and governor....
So I start ....
I use Viper saga with tweaked kernel 3.x/ondemand with deadline/cpu min.245-max.1410
I noticed that my graphic is very good and everything works like a charm....for example in FIFA12 I noticed that even the shadow of all player are so intense and everything is so clear,it seems that improves my graphic and my phone is faster..I hope that overclocking to 1410 to not damaged my phone.So what configuration do you have ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Set the governor to performance. Battery eater though. But u only can choose better battery life or smoother graphics, so make up ur mind and choose one :thumbup:
When playing with overclocking unstick 'set on boot'. So that it goes back to normal once reboot in case of any freeze. Overclock it based on ur desired value, experiment with it, slowly. increase the value step by step. Leave it for a day then increase again. If it freezes then u know ur phone's limit.

i have read that people say it's stable up to 1.5 GHz.
I have set mine to 1.3GHz to be on the safe side.
And set it to,on demand,so it only takes up more when it needs to.
setting it up to high speeds can result in a melt down,draining batteries and will shorten out the life of your phone even when stable for a couple of days so be aware of what your doing...
there is no best value for everyone, some say 1ghz is enough, some say 1.5 ghz is not enough.
so it depends on what you need, its a trial and error thing
u will get a fast response phone but battery life is sucs ... cant complain though

Never a good idea to overclock CPU more than 1.5 GHZ . That is the maximum stable frequency for our processor.

If you want separate screen on/screen off profiles, I would recommend daemon controller app (with andrev_oc installed through the app).
If you want more profiles for different situations, setcpu is probably the only real option.
Setting to 1.3 GHz depends on the kernel you're using, not on the app.
