I downloaded the app a few days ago after watching a "best apps" video on YouTube... But I've been nervous to really try it as I've heard over clocking can fry your phone... So I'm just wondering if anyone knows how it works exactly? Do i need to be nervous to use it?
Yes it modifies your processor speed, but you need not be nervous.
Its pretty stable.
I ended up deleting it actually. tried it but didnt notce much difference, in speed or battery, with it changed. so i just switched it back to stock then deleted it.
Only bummer was that rebooting from that app, the phone shuts off SO MUCH FASTER.... i wish i had an app to do that part alone lol

it does not overclock it ...only you can do that form kerenl auditor or something like that app...adn you need a kernel that support an overclocking ...but i had that app and it really helped
Overclocking requires a custom kernel that allows it. Usually, overclocking is pointless anyway.
As for quick reboots, you can find stand-alone apps/widgets that give you reboot options.

I'm sure almost all (if not all) of you that have obtained root on your Incredible (which this app requires) know what this app is and possibly have even used it in the past. There doesn't appear to be any Incredible specific modifications made to the app yet, but I just wanted to throw this out there. As always, be VERY careful with overclocking, esp. with this CPU (I personally wouldn't try anything over 1.2ghz). If you feel your phone getting hot, don't keep running it! Also neither the author, XDA or I take any responsibility in the case that you toast your Incredible.

I thought we'd need a modded kernel to run it over 1.2 Ghz? How can we do that with just rooting the phone and installing setcpu?
Or I'm way off and I have no idea what I'm thinking lol..

no, you are correct. i have built the kernel (HTC release) w/ the required changes. but have not been able to flash
Wow I wasn't aware of the kernel limits, or maybe I subconsciously read it somewhere since I threw 1.2ghz out there (over the last couple weeks I've been dealing with a cold I can't seem to shake so I blame a combination of insomnia+Nyquil... mmm Nyquil).
Id say its worth some green to get that kernel. I have been looking high and low to find one. seems that the demand is there but not the development. Let me know if you get it up and running and I'll donate to the cause.
Just wish I could develop it at this point, but getting the phone rooted was a task for me. Even with video instructions....
Just a quick question for you guys: I recently purchased an Infuse from the marketplace here, and so far I've gotten an absolute TON of lag using the device. I've flashed Infused 1.5 and Bionix with the Infusion kernel, and so far the lag has gotten better, but it's not totally cleared up. I'm definitely not new to Android, but I haven't seen anything like this before. I know that Quadrant isn't a reliable benchmark, but I'm scoring about 1900, OCed to 1.5Ghz.
Just to give an example: I'm using desktop visualizer to add some custom icons to my screen. When I go to select an icon image, it's fine, but it freezes for about 90 seconds when a list of my apps comes up.
Anyone experience this before? And if so, how did you solve it? If this was widespread, I'd imagine there would be complaints all over here.
Which app are you using to set your overclock settings, how many clock speeds do you have enabled, are you under or over volting, and *which governor* are you running?
I have seen some similar problems here when I was using conservative governor with poor choices of clock speed. Right now Infusion 1.5.2 kernel has some issues with not liking the ondemand governor, so I reduced my number of available clock speeds so it would jump to the top more quickly while using the conservative governor.
Also, did you use either the return to stock, or the ultimate unbrick flash before you flashed your ROM? If it was a used Infuse, I would do one of the above before I start looking anywhere else, then reflash your rom/kernel of choice.
I'm using SetCPU with the OnDemand gov (400/1500), no undervolting. I have a profile set to underclock it to 300/700 on conservative when I'm charging, but that's about it.
I think I'm going to use GTG's unbrick/return to stock and root the thing myself, I figured I'd ask before I did anything drastic. My UI is a ***** to set up every time, and I hate wiping because of it.
Just a quick note, I've had some serious lag using the oc kernel... Like real world usage got worse after oc'ing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Although it is counter intuitive to the way governors should work I have seen less lag on Infusion 1.5.2 when I use conservative. The ondemand governor seems to be having some issues with the most recent update. If you flash back to 1.0 Infusion you get a max overclock of 1.4, but it is much more stable IMHO. Also FFC is presently broken in 1.5.2 and will hard freeze the phone (battery pull).
I'm debating flashing back to community kernel, but I am going to wait and see how long it takes my battery to drain because I am using some undervolting. You might try using conservative governor and only enable 100, 400, (800 or 1000), (1200 or 1300) and 1500. Honestly the infuse is my first smartphone, but I've tinkered with desktop hardware the last 15 years. It literally amazes me everytime I pull the battery out of this phone and feel how light it is.
I also used the desktop vis app and yes it lagged when chosing apps however it seemed to get better after three or four times but that seems to be the only place it lags for me im using the oc-uv kernal 1.0 clocked to 1.4 seems bulletproof compared to later versions im getting great speed and batt life with this kernal but i had the same lag in the same event as you

I'm going to try bringing it back to stock and re-rooting it myself, if only because I trust myself with adb//scripts/rooting, and I'm hesitant to trust someone I don't know. Lag has gotten a lot better since switching to conservative, OCing to 1.6 and undervolting a tad, but it still lags when opening apps or scrolling through long lists. Desktop Vis is of course, still a nightmare.
Oh well, I'll report my findings tomorrow I guess. Hopefully I'll be scoring higher than the 1700 I just pulled in quadrant.

Do you use spareparts?
usually yes, but I dont believe I installed it yet on the infuse. Why?
lag on stock also
I'm 100% stock & get lag also. Definitely in the situation you describe, when the app list comes up for adding shortcuts to any homescreen. Takes forever for that list to come up. Secondly, simply from running for a while, i have to kill all the apps using the built in task manager in order to get it to run smoothly again. It's like it never closes an app. I'm new to android, but guessing this is a problem inherit to android. Can't see how samsung or at&t could have screwed this soo badly to cause it to never close an app. Hoping memory management is better in Gingerbread.
Blario, you're new to Android, so you need to read up on how memory management works with Android. It's not SUPPOSED to kill apps, and that's not what's lagging your phone. In your case, I'd think it was more of a case of WHICH apps you were running.
yeah, the longer I have the phone the more it lags it seems
probably going to push me towards the Evo3D
If you're on stock and after a week or two your phone gets slow as hell (mine did), install a Voodoo lagfix kernel. All the current ROMs include it.

I still have random slow downs when it gets bogged down with stuff
I'd give a left nut to have this phone with dual core

I don't do much. Twitter, "Web" (some mozilla stock ish), SMS, phone, Android Market app (browsing), and Maps. I've had it lag up using only those. Far less often, I use Yelp... that's about it.
Not supposed to kill apps? When I kill them it fixes the problem. Maybe it *should* be killing apps?? If its supposed to flush their state to disk... it seems to be doing a poor job at it.
I would be suspicious of your microSD card (if you have one). Do you know what class it is? Have you tried removing it and performing the same functions in which you see lag?

I'd more readily assume the 512MB RAM is the issue. Looking forward to SGSII

It's the stock card that came with the phone. Any way to check? The apps are installed to it... so removing it I wouldn't have the apps available anymore.
A little update: I returned back to stock and re-rooted. I installed 3E, then CWM, then threw on Infused 1.5 and Infusion, OCed to 1.6Ghz and slightly undervolted (about 25-100mv along the range) using SetCPU.
As of right now, it still lags on occasion, but not as bad as it did. Quadrant is giving me a whopping 1300 average score, with a low of 800 and a high of 1600. This is just pathetic.
So my Xoom was running really sluggish at times. so I said the heck with it, backed up what I needed and whipd it out!
it still seems pretty sluggish. not terible, but there are a lot of things that are not nearly as smooth as it should be.
the Tablet WAS rooted, and with another Kernal, but i put it all back to stock (I think) and still seems a little off.
ideas?
thanks

Stock is the most sluggish. On top of overclocked cpu, I use overclocked gpu kernel as well and the ADW EX launcher. That's a prescription for butter smoothness.
i dont remember it being so slugish when i first got it?

Even when you get everything set up the way you want it, things get laggy sometimes.
I do the following: reboot to refresh the system, free up ram by various means, including making sure that no memory hogs are running in the background, etc...Autostart root app helps to keep stuff from starting at or just after boot,which helps you manage your memory too.
Also make sure you are using the interactive (or lagfree if you so desire) governor for your kernel. That solved my laggyness problem with my refurb.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Hi
What is lagfree? Is it a kernel? How to get that?
Is there a good app to show what is using the most memory or resources so i can uninstall? I use advanced task killer and it kills my apps every now and then and performance improves but they comr back even thougj i didnt run them. How can i prevent apps from loading into mem except when i launch. I went to their settings and disables anything that runs on interval but they still run.
Thanks.
Note; currently i am 3.2.1 rooted.
As I said, Auto Starts is a great app to control what runs automatically. I also use Active apps to show me what is running so I can close it if needed. There are a number of good root apps that can do the trick. Why not check out the list in the Xoom Heaven thread at the top of page one of the General Forum.
Thanks for the reply I will give that a try...
I noticed having a lot of open browser tabs kills the speed big time.

Even bone stock the Xoom is not sluggish. I would say there is a problem or you did not fully wipe the device. On some devices the kernel could potentially cause a problem.
If memory is not super low, connection speeds is usually the culprit.
Hello all, i rooted my tab today. Installed Superuser, Set CPU and Titanium backup. I froze a few of the pre loaded Samsung apps that came with the Tab. What other things can i do to speed up performance now that i am rooted? Any suggestions?? Thanks!
(Also if anyone else is currently using Set CPU on their Tab7 +, what settings work well for you? )

Which model? (There are at least 4 different ones.) Are you willing to give up battery life for that speed? What do you want to use your tablet for?

I have the Wi-Fi_GT-P6210. I guess my main issue with Set CPU is what are the limits i can go to without locking up the device. I have Set Cpu on my EVO 4g so i am familiar with it. I guess i was just seeing what advantages rooting gives me. I have my EVO rooted so i know the benefits on my phone, but what about the TAB. What apps can i remove without effecting performance. Thanks
If you want to overclock or undervolt, you'll need a custom kernel (see my sig.) At that point, you can OC to 1.4GHz. (I didn't include support for 1.6GHz has the processor in my own 7+ wouldn't stay stable at that speed, so I can't test it properly - it was also extremely easy for me to only add 1.4.) For voltages, you are also kind of going to have to experiment. I'm stable with 1300/1225/1125/1025/950/900 on my tab plus, but I can go much lower on my SGSII (which has the same processor.) You can search on the SGH-i9100 and SGH-i777 subforums for what other people have done with voltages.
As for which apps can be safely frozen, there's a post or two on that from a couple months back... I'd suggest searching for the full list. Nearly anything that looks like bloat really is.
I'd never suggest actually removing stuff - much better to just freeze it... then if you figure out that you really needed it, it's trivial to defrost it.
Good luck

Hello I am having heating issues. I'm not sure if this is normal or not and would like to know if there is anything I can do to reduce the heating issue?
I rooted my phone about 3 months ago. I installed the Liquid Smooth Rom. However I re-flashed TW because of some feature that I missed.
I have these apps on my phone: Rom Toolbox; Titanium Backup; EZ-Unlock; Root Checker Basic; Rom Management; Root Explorer; SD Booster; Trickster Mod & Supersu.
I've tried underclocking the phone by lowering the CPU max in both Trickster Mod and Rom Toolbox but both seem to revert back to the highest CPU settings.
My issue is that when I run my tethering app (pdanet/foxfi) my phone gets really hot and my battery drains like crazy.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I mean, I have those apps I listed above but really don't know how to set them up correctly to control my phone efficiently.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
prolonged tethering is going to stress the battery. Plus, pdanet and foxfi are not too reliable or efficient (my experience)
if you're on TW, I'd do a search for WifiTether_TrevE_Mod. I think it may be on google playstore as well.

I'm sure this is the one that you were referring to. However I can't seem to find a download link. (Maybe I'm blind or just don't understand). I also did a search on the play store and came up empty. Can you point me in the right direction please.

Ok, great.
Also, is there a optimization thread somewhere? I would like to know how to optimize my phone for top battery efficiency while not giving up to much on the usability side. I know about screen brightness and keeping my sync off and all of the basic things. I would like to know how to set up my system and such. I've froze many of the bloatware apps using TiBu but this hasn't resulted in the marked improvement I was hoping for. Maybe I didn't freeze the right ones.
One recommendation. Don't run 2 CPU management apps at once. Bad **** happens. Gerry rid of rom toolbox and keep trickster
