Hey i just rooted my vibrant and i also downloaded RyanZA's OCLF and installed the stuff from that but when i go to SetCPU it will only let me max out at 528 MHz as you can see from the uploaded photo. Does anyone know why this is happening when i have a 1GHz processor? Thanks
Did you use Auto Detect?
^ doesn't sound like he/she did.
What kernel are you using?

Anyone tried it yet?
I'm browsing through the market apps under the search "root" and I'm seeing a couple overclocking apps. Particularly SetCPU and Overclock widget, the latter being a free app.
I'm kinda nervous about what clock speeds the Hero will tolerate. I don't want to risk bricking my phone!
The "free" app on market won't let me clock it past 528. I don't think there is an app per se that can jack it over that speed.

Yup i used another app to set it to 575, but the highest it went was 528. actually it was only like 526.XX
The Overclock Widget didn't work at all.
The widgets on the market are bound by the min and max clock values compiled into the kernel I believe.
There's maybe a kernel interface in /sys/ somewhere where you can echo in a clockspeed, but I haven't found it yet.
As for the max it would support? The G1/2 were throttled ~350 if I remember, but it was on this processor, which supported 528mhz, allowing for crazy clock speeds at the expense of battery life.
No idea if this proc will really support anything much over that, you'd be getting into 'true' overclocking territory there, and the potential for damage to the phone would be significantly increased.
[edit]
The usual /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ directory exists, but it doesn't look like you can just set a speed there in the 'normal' linux fasion:
Code:
# echo 540000 > cpuinfo_max_freq
cannot create cpuinfo_max_freq: permission denied
just download the set cpu or overclock widget
on set cpu activate profiles and make it so its 528 max and 528 min when the screen is on..and 245 max 128 min when the phone is sleeping
here is the free version of set cpu

Do you think you could try it and see? I would like to use this, providing it works. Im stuck at work though and cant really play with my phone too much to try it out.
im trying it now ill let you know

I'm at work as well and kinda need my phone for stuff or else I'd be tinkering away.... but when I get home I'll see if it's working or not...
*NOTE* i r dumb in the ways of overclocking so I won't be able to fix code to get this to work
It seems to work when i put it on the slowest my phone goes alot slower and when i set it higher it goes faster but it will also decrease battery performance

Very cool! I wonder what a good balance between more power with not too much more battery drain would be.
Can't get it to work

When I start the app I can see the two bars:
Min is 528 and
Max is 528 as well
I adjust the Minbar to 128 and click
"Set to it!"
Display notification:
"Set new clock successfull"
When I start the app again: No change at all, still
Min is 528 and
Max is 528
Display icon always shows:
527
Any advise?
Thanks
Is their any way to get the overclock to 768 while running the stock hero?
I have mine rooted of course, but I'm limited to 528mhz with setcpu.
Is their anyway to flash something so that max can be lifted?
Thanks.

Here princess.
Also..
Both include setcpu.txt for Setcpu OC app.. Select "custom" at the very bottom for device. Do not select hero. Or you can select "Auto Detect" at the top, this does not need the setcpu.txt.
*damage537.zip* 537mhz is the default.. scalable to 768 if you use an OC'ing app
*damage768.zip* 768mhz default clock speed -read below
*damage710.zip* 710mhz default clock speed -read below
Both can be scaled from 19.2 to 768mhz..
DAMAGE710--The damage710 will default 710mhz, you must use an OC app to scale it to 768. Use damage710 if your phone can not boot the 768mhz. And dont scale any higher then 710mhz or your phone might reboot.
DAMAGE768--If your phone can boot the 768mhz then either download will work. But if you dont want to use an OC'ing app then the damage768 will scale to 768mhz.

well just incase it wasnt gone over , in order to overclock you need a kernel that has been modified to do this. there are several on this forum for the 2.1.
On a side not there is the god kernel that can both be run with or with out the overclocking apps.
I actually beleive the best performance is from the 710 kernel with out an overclocking widget. the widgets seem to introduce lag till they set the clock this is a major annoyance when the phone is woke for an incomming call.
Do a nand backup and test for your self.
kernels located here

Thanks for the info guys.
I flashed the 710 one ontop of my stock 2.1 rom.
Now I'm looking at the green HTC logo with white background. It hasen't changed for 10 minutes. I think its stuck. Should I be worried?

I pulled mine from this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691756)
Download the rar and extract. Its under /data/apps
When a rom says its oc...does that mean it already IS oc'd or that it CAN be oc'd? Take for instance eris lightningbolt rom. It says OC but I'm not sure if that means it already is or that it can be? Trying to figure out if the speed increase of my eris is simply due to the new rom or due to a possible oc? I have NOT installed setcpu yet.
It means it's capable... you need setCPU or Overclock Widget to increase the speed.
Could be over clocked already, but it definitely means that it can be over clocked. Ask the ROM dev in that particular thread to find out. Also, please refrain from posting general questions in the development forum in the future. Can a mod please move this thread?

it means it has a kernel capable of being overclocked as of lately no rom is allowd to be bundled with SetCPU so you won't be able to flash and Oclock it right away you must buy/download from xda the setcpu.apk but most OC'd roms come set to about 710 mhz for stability
Some kernels come custom clocked higher.

CELB or Eris lightning bolt which ever you prefer to call it is overclocked to 710 by default and then can be adjusted up or down with setcpu or overclock widget.
I don't like already OC'd roms, Its like yo man, Dont touch my woman! lol jk
Is it possible to overclock our vibrant yet? I see my CPU is only running at 800MHz but its a gig processor?
It's set to run from 100-1000, so at any given time when you look, it's probably somewhere in the middle. When some app needs more cpu, the system will adjust the speed for you. There is an oc kernel, but it's not quite stable yet.
Me need overclock
No actually, me just need FROYO
I've been running the overclocked kernel posted at the link below for about a week without issues.

so guys i am new to the evo and i have a asus transformer overclock to 1.7 ghz however i was wondering is there something we have over clocking to 1.6 or similar to that what kernal are you guys using and what feature do you have i am interesting in a nice ui with a over clocked kernal however this place is so big i can't find anyting do they even have a o.c. kernal??

Most Evo's cannot overclock beyond 1190 MHz.
Overclocking is only so effective.
Just because something is overclocked to 2500 mhz it doesn't mean that it performs better than overclocked to 1900 mhz.
So I'm kind of new to messing around with tablets but learning a few things. On my Nexus 7 I decided to put Cyanogenmod 10 on it so I could customize a few things. I then decided I wanted to overclock the max CPU frequency past 1300 MHz so I installed Trinity 7 kernel. Now I'm able to run it at 1700 MHz which runs a few apps much faster but after exiting out of the apps and going back to check on the max CPU frequency and it's set back down to 1300 MHz.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? So far there's only one app I'm overclocking for so it's not a big issue but it would still be nice to figure out the issue.
Thanks
I down loaded too. I just changed the governer to performance and it stays on 1600 etc on set cpu

There might be an option for "set at boot." Try that.

That's not the solution. The performance governor keeps the cpu speed at max frequency at all times (even when screen is off). That will eat up your battery quick.

Thanks that seemed to have fixed it though I figured out you have to turn that on THEN pick the max CPU frequency. Doing it the other way around won't change anything, I think that's what I tried before.
Also mccolvinj I'd personally leave it on interactive so it will just use the max CPU when needed or at least that's what I got out of the descriptions of governors I looked up.
EDIT: Nevermind...that only temporarily fixed it, it went back to 1300 after a bit. Maybe I installed Trinity 7 wrong?

I think so since it's rooted, is there a way I can check or give it permissions?
you need the powerHAL "fix". your rom should include it, but i guess it doesnt. search the n7 forums for a flashable. or, the trinity kernel toolbox app includes the "fix" just in case your rom doesnt.

kernels arent rooted, your roms are. you can flash a custom kernel on a rom without root. the only difference is that you wouldnt be able to control the cpu with ant cpu control apps, the apps need root.
ive posted the solution already. either find the flashable powerHAL fix or use the trinity kernel toolbox to control the kernel. tkt includes the powerHAL fix.
