My phone steadily overclocks at 710 only while on the charger, however when off the charger it tends to freeze up and crash (especially when the screen is off). I only ever overclock that high while playing RT2 or another high intensity 3D game. I think that we need to make an overvolt kernel to better overclock but making kernels is way over my capabilities.
I am stable at 652 on battery on any rom/kernel. My phome gets extremely warm all the time (even when 480 max), but I think that has something to do with my crappy battery and always running the phone at 100% brightness.
@mejorguille, what rom or kernel are you using.. CM 5.0.8-DS Can Online Do 576. I wanna try 652 if its good on my G1.

either try the universal overclock update.zip (breaks my wifi...), or take the boot.img from the chromatic rom and flash.
Some help
Hey guys,
I've rooted my G1 with no problems overclocking for bout a year plus till NOW!
The problem was my clockspeed is capped at 528 no matter how i use it? how do i get off the restrictions for the 528 mark? i'm using set cpu!
Regards!
For those of you overclocking like crazy. You are not doing anything but making your phone freeze up and get hot!!!!! Your cpu can not handle that. And will not be going any faster than maybe in your mind!!!!!!

First off, I would like to apologize in advance in case a thread like this exist and I can't find it.. :/ (Search is down, tried Googling) also, if anyone believes this to be in the wrong forum.
ANYWAYS! This is intended to be a preference/opinions thread centering around your OC/UC and Undervolt settings. Feel free to post your current set-up in Voltage Control (or any app of the like) and what Kernel you are running! I wanted to start this to get an idea of what everyone else is setting their UV and CPU clocks to, and possibly give a few of them a try on my own device. :]
Personally all of my clock speeds are at their defaults except for 1000Mhz @ 1200mV. (-75mV). I am also rocking Genocide v1.0 and getting a decent 30hrs of battery life with pretty moderate use.
Post away!
It is kind of pointless since every phone is different so cannot do exactly the same as others. Most can't do 1.4Ghz and most don't wake from sleep at 100 Mhz. All depends what you use your phone for. Mine runs fine at 1.3Ghz except for some TV apps will freeze.

I believe that would be my point however.. curious as to what other people are running as far as cpu and voltage is concerned. Their success and failures. What people can get away with and remain stable. I, and others, could then try their setup (taking precautions of course; ie Nandroid backup.) And see what we get. Who knows, maybe I might adapt a set up that runs better on my device than my current one.

Yes, every phone is different, but that is just more of a reason to collect data - perhaps a baseline can be established, which would be helpful in determining if a particular phone is messed up or just at the low end of the scale. Right now it is hard to determine if a particular phone's troubles are caused by low quality or by damaged hardware.
I keep all voltages at stock, and don't use any OC - my phone runs fine as is, and the battery life actually seemed worse with UV (and my screen felt hot with the screen UV).

My phone wakes from 100 but won't do 1.4ghz for even a couple seconds before reboot but 1.3ghz lasts about 20 minutes before reboot and 1.2ghz is stable. As for undervolts it can handle -25 on 1.2ghz and -50 on 1 and 1.1ghz -50 on 800mhz and that's it otherwise becomes unstable and reboots. Battery life and performance seem to meet at 800mhz with a -50 undervolt games run smooth too and 12 hours of battery. Oddly enough benchmarks are consistantly higher on 1.12ghz than on 1.2ghz I wonder if I'm the only one?

Just to throw it out there. Aggressive undervolts will do more harm than good to your battery life. By that, I mean you'll drain your battery even more.

I can only use Genocide kernel to get 1.3ghz at stock voltage with since all the other choices are uv'd. My last two Epics were able to handle uv'd 1.4ghz by 50mV but I'm not really complaining as I think this is a new phone they gave me and not a refurb. I currently have 100-400 uv'd by 100mV, 600-1000 uv'd by 75mV and 1300 at stock.
My phone can handle 1.4 Ghz but only with the stock voltages. If I try to touch it even by 25mV it locks up.
Who all has enabled the 100Mhz step? I noticed when I did my phone went into Deep Sleep a lot less by a noticeable amount. Staying at 100Mhz a lot.
Always interesting to hear about all this theory behind the reasons for undervolting OC and UC, then to hear about the issues (at times extreme) some have. I would also like to know who uses the 100 step and if it is noticeably better on battery life than the 200? Unfortunately I am missing out on it if I am. Still running Genocide here, but with 1.0 at -50mv 800 @ -50 and 600 @ -25. Very stable and still at 30+ battery life. Having 1.0 down 75 made me nervous. although I hear people dropping it down -100mv successfully.

Good tip about "aggressive UnderVolting"...didn't know that actually drains your battery more. Might explain why 6 hours into my day, my battery is down to 30% already!!! I had it set at 1120Mhz UV to 1175mV (Stock = 1300)...
So now I'm going to try 1200Mhz only UV by 50...see what my battery life is after this!

Can you explain how this is so? Is this based on any actual research, experimentation, or online documentation, or is this just your own opinion?
Unless your undervolt causes the CPU to hang (I've seen mine start to warm up when it's hung, until a battery pull), I don't understand how providing less voltage to the cpu will cause it to drain the battery faster.
If you change the voltage settings please don't blame the rom developers when you phone bricks...

No, it won't kill your phone but it will drain your battery freaking fast...
Yeah, prolonged overclocking will build heat and may damage your phone. And why do you want to overclock up to 1.9GHz anyway? There's no performance boost after 1.6GHz afaik.
Edit: maximum performance I get is around 1.5 - 1.6GHz average over repeated benchmark of different software.
I got my Virtuous finally at 1.7 GHz (yeah!) and team the Quadrant Benchmark and gained about 200 points more, but I got to agree: there is no performance boost which you can see without benchmarking.
So I will put it back to 1.5, that's enough.
Edit: WTF? I've put it back to 1.5 and got 100 more points than with 1.7?!
I've read many threads where people say they have their G2 up around 1.5 and I'm just wondering what is considered a safe OC speed?
Some of the threads say there isn't much noticeable difference after 1.2, can any of you confirm this?
I'm on meXdroid right now and I've been keeping it at 1.2 but it gives me the option of going up to 1.516, so I'm wondering if there's any damage that might be done if I go with the max.

I'm running CM7.1 at a max of 1.4 without any problems. Not sure there is such a thing as completely "safe" when overclocking, but I also read about many who are at 1.5 or higher. I did notice a slight improvement going from 1.2 to 1.4 on my phone, but nothing substantial.
its safe to oc at 1.5 the thing is you wont be gaining a lot of performance but you will be draining more juice
After 1.2 the only thing you get is more battery consuccion.
The safe way is keeping the cpu ondemand or conservative between 245 - 1200.
If you want safe battery you can use setcpu and make 2 profiles one in screen off (powersave 245-368) screen on (ondemand 245-1200).
Note: for miui screen off profile have to be (245-768) because (245-368) cause delay in incoming calls.
And remember always the scale depends what kernel you use.
I using now pershoot 2.6.35.14
Is good with battery life so i recommended to you.
I was using ILWT kernel v1.5.1, is more better on battery life but i notice some problems went i use maps.
I hope that help you

Ive also looked into this quite a bit and most people say around 1200mhz is the sweet spot for battery and speed.
also overclocking depends on kernel
I've ran mine at 1.42 using Unity sense as a daily driver.

The OP is using meXdroidmod which has "tweaKr" script so no need for set CPU and he also has option to adjust voltages and many other tweaks. MeXdroidmod is awesome!
To the OP, just keep it at 1.2 . Like others have mentioned...just wasting juice if any higher.
HTC Vision(G2), meXdroidmod Ghost Chili AIO ROM/ICS CM7 theme.
I have mine at 1.6Ghz set on performance screen on, 368-768 ondemand screen off. I'm a medium/light user and will have around 20-30% left when i plug it in at night.
The amount you can overclock while still maintaining decent battery life really depends on if you're a light/medium/heavy user - because the charge is only being rapidly drained while the screen is on (if you have a sensible screen off profile set up). Light users can afford to run at high speeds on performance govenors, heavy users should run at lower speeds with conservative governors.
As for how safe overclocking is i'm not completely sure what the limits are, but there are people who run their G2's at 2Ghz and get no problems... the biggest danger is probably heat damage to the phone, but the battery will fail before you get to temperatures that will damage the phone so i wouldn't worry about that. The other concern is reducing the life of the cpu, however the longest you will have a phone is around 2 years, and an overclocked cpu will still last far longer than this.
Hope I helped answer your question, I am running Miui btw.

the 7x30 processors are designed to run up to 1.5 so basically it's not oc. and the Desire z/G2 come with underclocked kernels on stock

That's incorrect from what I've read the CPU the g2 has is a 800 stock its not underclocked or nothing that's how it came From HTC but its a 2nd Gen snapdragon and their for very recealient and efficient and their for can be overclocked .. and from what I have seen and read this CPU has been overclocked more then any other CPU on a phone ... its bad ass!

It will definitely shorten the life of the battery. As for the phone itself I can't really say. I used to use my vibrant @ 1200mhz daily while running bionix 1.3.1. I never really noticed any wear and tear from the overclocking. If your phone runs warm while overclocking you should really consider running the stock voltages. Your phone may overheat and fry your cpu gpu with the high temperatures. So be careful when overclocking.
Meh i dont completely agree...
It will only shorter the life of your battery because the processor will draw about 20% more power which is very small compared to the like 20x more power the lcd takes up.. i dont think youll feel the difference.
The heating up i disagree with too since ive seen processors reach boiling point of water and continue to work.. thats not to say they all will but ive oced my phone to 1.6ghz to benchmark for several minutes and it never got above 41*... the battery heats up alot more when its charging than the processor does most of the time so i wouldnt worry tooo much about that.
Now as to whether the phones llife will lower... yes probably.. youre putting more stress on the processor than if you dont oc.. honestly tho, processors dont die very often so i oc all day as my daily runner, usually to 1.4ghz if my kernel will do it..
Up to you and honestly all of this is my opinion based on my available info etc.. hope this helps

You would be fine with 1.2Ghz, but look into a kernel that supports some slick CPU scalers (smartass is a good, easy choice). You can set that (1.2Ghz) as a max clock and you can let the scaler determine how it gets there (if need be). Running only 2 clocks (OC and deep sleep) seems a bit overkill to me, but to each their own.
Like everyone else said, you ought to be perfectly fine with that value.
The highest I would go is 1500 though

Think about this.. How much copper is strapped up to your phones cpu?
Would you overclock your desktop on a stock cooler?
