installed set cpu and it only lets my clock it to 499mhz and the overclock widget only got me to 663mhz.. how did u guys get it to 998mhz??
.............
Are you downloading the correct version? DOwnload this one and select Nexus One in the device selection menu.
SetCpu is made for all the most current Android phones (mostly), you can even let it automatically detect the clock speed.
Why do you need this? I've seen the phone hit 1GHz when it needed to so I just let its internal processor scaling do its job. Is there something you are doing that isn't kicking the processor up when it needs it?
Setcpu absolutely works with Nexus One, i have it right now with the overclocked kernal running 1113 to 691, you have to hit menu and pick the Nexus One as your phone.

Just recently I rooted and flashed a MoDaCo Custom ROM. Excited to take advantage of my new powers, I downloaded the OverclockWidget to see what I can squeeze out of my phone's Qualcomm MSM 7225 heart.
Fresh after installation. The "Min" and "Max" CPU speed bars in the widget only go up to 512MHz which is the actual speed it's ticking away at.
Going into "Advanced Settings" of the widget I defined "my own" frequencies, I checked the box to "Use your frequencies" and then tried to set the Min / Max values to something higher. I granted the super user access each time I was setting it, but the speed displayed on the widget never actually went above 512... what's even stranger - I could see the Min / Max values being set to something completely different (lower) than what I set it to in the first place.
Another thing I notices is that the "Detect frequencies" option doesn't seem to be doing anything. As in, I click it - and nothing happens.
Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong, or missing something? I would really like to get this going, so any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

any chance will this be rolled into the 2.1 build?
So it looks like there are no ROMs currently available that have this perflock disabled?
According to my experience with HTC Magic using PERFCLOCK settings actually performs better than adjusting cpu clock with an app.
You CAN indeed change screen-on and scree-off frequencies but you need to do it at the kernel level.
will somebody make an OC kernel?

Some news?
Mine is
Performance
Min/Max 1.2 ghz
Auto dectect
Whats yours?
Really auto detect? After every kernel dev says that auto detect isn't stable?
Really?
what should i put?

you have to use auto-detect for setcpu to detect your availble clock speeds
on-demand is BROKEN
performance will drain your battery abnormally
running at 100 min / whatever max on conservative is the most stable option for this device at the current time
Leave the advanced settings alone also?

not to contradict, but you dont have to use it, you can use the setCPU.txt file and i recommend it
here is the one i use currently with the D02 1250LV kernel, it is nothing more than a simple text file which tells the setCPU app what are valid steppings/scaling so it cannot auto-detect incorrectly as it often does
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12311939/setcpu.txt
all you have to do is edit it to the steps that match the kernel you load and drop it in the root of the sd card, then go into setCPU, hit softmenu to go to device selection, scroll down and choose custom or manual...i forget what its called...then scroll down to the bottom and tell it to use the setcpu.txt file option and restart....done, no more problems at boot with setCPU
I only use performance when benchmarking. I use on-demand day to day. Set to 1250 max 100 min. I actually read the entire setCPU dev page, I suggest you do also, keeping in mind the limitations of the kernel you choose to load. I do not use on-demand scaling. I do not use profiles either. I do however, after testing my own device, use "set at boot". Two things on that. 1. setCPU now has a safe mode feature to get out of a problem and 2. I also use the setcpu.txt option instead of auto-detect which is hit or miss. Using the setcpu.txt file method (be sure to go to device selection and choose the bottom custom option) setCPU cannot accidentally set itself to the wrong frequency, it gets it's allowed steppings from the file you create.
if you read the setCPU dev page you (not directed at you jt ) will learn all of this and also about the advanced settings....but they work fine as they are for my device/kernel/usage

Contradict much?
Nice find there james
Im wondering what would happen if you didnt match the increments in your txt file to the kernels native ones?
Lol, I only speak of what I know to be true you guys have far more knowledge but I tested this on my own device and also used it on the ally I had so I know its good

Id say probably either fc or nothing. Either it would try to hit something it cant and fc or it would discard the step, but then the large jump sau from 200 to 600 skipping 400 may cause an issue

Well, if I can keep mine running stable for a couple of days, with no "permasleeps" then I will give start on boot a try. So far I'm having excellent luck with 1100 max 100 min with conservative. Set to auto, it brought the right figures up immediately. So far the thing is really running great with the 1100 LV kernal and the settings I mentioned above. I'm sure my quadrant will be lower than 1200, but for some reason the 1200 kernal was only stable when I was placing load on the device, actually using it. When it was idle the screen would "permasleep". Very odd. Stress testing on the 1200 LV kernal threw no errors, but I still had idle issues.

Maybe check out the 1200SV as well and/or jt's 1200. Heck I tried them all myself at least briefly

Sorry if it is a noob question but
I have the jt's voodoo kernel and just restored my setcpu from the titanium back up...
the max that it gives me is only 1000000....
I thought It should change to 1200000
how can I change it?
if not what should I do to OC this bad boy?
btw I Used the recommended speed...
Thanks

Download the 1200 w/ boot animation. This happened to me last night when updating my wife's fascinate. I first downloaded the one without boot animation, which was fine, but only would clock to 1000 and was getting the battery not connected error. So I flashed the 1200 w/boot animation and fixed everything.

I just flashed my Fascinate with the 1200 w/ boot animation and then SetCPU from the market but SetCPU only allows my Max slider to 528MHz??? what did i do wrong?

Think about it for a second... Has it sunk in yet? Didn't think so.
You changed speeds so you need to redetect your speed. Either do that or uninstall the app and reinstall it.

that happend too me too man,
what I did was I went to the menu and did an auto speed detect...
and the problem solved! its been running smoothly ever since
Hello, I've been using Setcpu for a while now to just underclock my phone to 800mhz for the sake of my battery. However, recently my scale on the app changed making the highest only 528mhz. Usually the Max is a lot higher like 1ghz area. Is this just a glitch? I don't really see a difference in speed... help please! Its bothering me that the max says 528mhz
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
You have to hit Menu, then Device Selection and Autodetect speeds again. Setting on boot doesn't work for us at the moment. You will need to autodetect speeds every time you reboot, or else SetCPU will not work properly.

Ya it happends to me too just do what suppliesidejesus said. One time for some reason setcpu was set at about 19.8mhz on boot... that was the longest hour of my life trying to get to setcpu...

Setcpu cannot clock under what the kernel allows, which is 100mhz.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
There is a way to have it auto detect on boot, you have to create a .txt file for the settings of the Kernel and save it to the root of your sd card.
I would post the thread link, but the forum won't let me so I will quote the person and topic.

I used this method with an 1100 kernel with the .txt file at 100000, 200000, 400000, 800000, 1100000
Honestly, I set mine to max 1200, min 100, set on boot, setup two profiles for screen off and below 30% at 800 max and it's been fine ever since.
Don't understand the long winded post about setting up text files for set on boot settings, it's not that complicated anymore.

Its because setcpu doesn't automatically detect the frequencies that the fascinate operates within and can cause problems with some phones, like mine. The way around setcpu not auto detecting these frequencies it to use the txt file method.
Evenin all.
I have just flashed the motley kernel to my nexus 7 and have been able to change the cpu speed to 1.6ghz but am comming up blanks when figuring out how to change the gpu speed? (i have searched everywhere and cannot see how people do it?)
the only tip i saw was to explore the root of my device and go to sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq and change a value in a gpu_oc file however there is no cuch file anywhere only cpu files.
anyone have a clue as to how i can change my gpu frequency?
thanks all.

big question.. has motley enabled the ability to change/edit gpu speed. without him enabling it, theres no way to change it. not all developers enable changing gpu speeds in their kernels.
You can run Trinity kernel and use trickster mod (app) to tweak your CPU and GPU to whatever you want.
You can search all you want and still come up short, I'm trying to use system tuner to change the cpu and gpu settings and I cant find any help on how to use this app. Im running the latest Kaos Droid rom for 4.1.2, the latest Motley kernel and twrp, props to all developers:good:. Im looking for what the optimal settings are and how to use system tuner to change them. Can someone tell me or show me the right thread that can help? Im not sure what the min/max cpu settings should be and I cant seem to find where to change the gpu settings. We are all noobs at some point. I just want to beef my nexus up a little, nothing crazy.
aww for real?
I wouldn't use system tuner for this because it doesn't have the ability to change the GPU speed. I'd recommend TricksterMOD which is available here for free. Depending on your kernel (not sure if motley's kernel has configurable GPU now, it didn't when I used it) you can change different settings. It is personally up to you how you want to configure your device and change things depending on how it runs. Anyway, I'll give you an idea of my settings that I have changed.
CPU - Governor is Interactive (my kernels default but another alternative would be ondemand) running @ 102mhz min - 1600mhz max
IO - Governor is deadline (again default but imo the only one you should use) with cache at 1024.
GPU - 600mhz
VOLTAGES - My kernels defaults.
Make sure that you set the settings to be applied at boot (I use a delay of 1 because it didn't seem to apply without it) and also make sure your kernel has the powerHAL fix included, or else (in the case of trinity kernel) you will need to download this file (this is for Android 4.2.x). This will allow your CPU overclock to stick and not be reset to stock.
Hopefully this helps! But again, just play around with your frequency's and maybe look into voltage tweaking to get your personal balance between performance and power consumption. And if you are going for performance, I'd look at turning off fsync and using the ext4 mount script to boost your I/O dramatically (this will result in things such as faster app installs)
