What overclocking set up are your using ??
What Quadrant benchmarks are you getting ??
Which ones have you tested and what's your oppinion ??
What 'bout battery life ??
----------------------------------------------------------------
My experience:
1.- Stock experience.
I've been comparing the DZ to an X10 (1GHz SoC), performing the same tasks simultaneously on both. Without any overclocking, the Desire Z really blows the antenna off the X10.
IMHO HTC did a great job with the DZ and Sense here, this phone was already smooth as butter beforehand. I love scrolling with the "Asteroid belt" live wallpaper, full web browsing, viewing pics... everything is slick.
My batt life was pretty decent but not overstanding (it barely makes it to the end of the day, but I am aware I really sqweeze it, heavy user am I ).
2.- After Overclocking.
I've got some days with the godspeed overclocked (stock) kernel @ 1.42 GHz, no particular SetCPU profile set, just flashed and went staright to my standard everyday use:
- Battery life barely affected, I'd say unnoticeable unless I start to play games .
- Heavy tasks do run better @ 1.42 GHz, I can notice the improvement from loading angry birds to viewing powerpoints to web browsing, but I really don't notice any difference when using small "normal" apps.
- Quadrant score: 2471 @ 1.42 GHz (range fluctuates from 2100 to 2500)
Can somebody recommend me a good Doom/Quake like game ??
I tested overclock temporarily to about 1.3Ghz via the old temp root method (before we got the full root) and in all honesty I feel the stock default speed is very fast as it is. Until I actually come across a laggy situation (a high end game or something) then I am not really going to both with overclocking.
But would love to do it using a method not requiring flashing - something just done under root.
Stock Experience
This is my third htc android phone after having a hero, desire and now the z. Nothing about battery life on the z was going to surprise me after owning the desire. Stock battery life on the desire was shocking! underclocking saved it completely. Now although the Z is better its not much.
Battery life on stock you would be lucky to last a day, even without much use.
Custom Experience
Now to get the best out of all my android phones battery life I do 2 things. Underclock for screen off as low as your phone will allow (and powersave governor), on the desire and the z I could go as low as any kernel would allow us too, my hero was not so good and didn't like the low speeds
Overclock when in use (I got to 1.4ghz and get a nice experience), with a good governor, ideally the new "smartass" governor, but interactive or ondemand will be fine.
I now get about 48 hours from it, with a descent amount of use. Which is great for me, I charge it every night anyway.
More input appreciated
Stock Experience
Day two after getting my DZ I installed Quadrant Standard and performed a benchmark. The best I got was 1588, and that was completely stock with a few apps installed. The more I seemed to install on it the "worse" the numbers seemed to get..although my lowest score was only around the 1400 mark.
As far as battery went I was lucky to get 8 hours out of the phone (although I was obviously tweaking and playing with it alot). I followed a few of the battery saving tips here http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/05/20-tips-to-improve-htc-evo-4g-battery-life.html and it seemed to improve it so I could at least get 10-12 hours from it.
Overclocking
Since going to the 1.4Ghz overclock kernal this morning, the highest Quadrant score i've seen is high 1800's. Not a huge jump imo over the initial stock clock i was running..but I can definately tell the phone is running faster now.
Battery has yet to be determined as I just installed setCPU last night and havent' fully had a chance to gauge whether it's impacting battery yet or not.
EDIT: After flashing 1.4 on my phone in the morning..by the afternoon I was getting some funky things happening with the phone (weird sound quality during calls, getting stuck on reboot screen) so I uninstalled and flashed the 1.2 on to try it out. After rebooting I did a Quadrant test, but this time I put SetCPU from On-demand to Performance..and my Quadrant score broke 2k. So now i'm curious as to what I would get with the 1.4 kernal running Performance mode..but i'm leery about the way my phone was acting while using it..
Been trying to flash 1.4 but my phone freezes at boot and does not happen anything, however with 1.2 ghz I get a quadrant of 1900 - 2000.
Any ideas what I can do so my phone can flash the 1.4 ghz kernel? Or simply my phone can handle it?

MD5 checksum are correct, I used your method for "dummies" and was able to flash the 1.2 ghz, why should not I be able to flash the 1.4?

You're just putting on a new kernel, right ? What ROM version do you have ? I wonder if there's an incompatibility.
1.4ghz setcpu with the vision_oc.ko module load after every boot, oldest method found on this forum, stock rom, quadrant around 2200.

I don't use that method. There's an easier way without rebooting to bootloader:
Open the ROM Manager app
Tap "Install ROM from SD card"
then, scroll to choose the OC Kernel Update
ROM manager will do the rest.
Try this.

Interesting...
That worked for you ?? (flashing 1.2GHz first and then 1.4GHz)
I have a Desire Z with the 1.8GHz kernel and CyanogenMod 6.1 CR1.
I got a Quadrant score of about 2842 with no other apps running afterboot.
I upgraded from a HTC Magic and I had a X10 Mini in between (dont ask)
I missed the keyboard and this was cheaper then a desire HD with the same screen res (I know the physical size is smaller)
With the kernel hack and cyanogen im getting about 36hours of battery life but I am a relatively light user and generally keep my phone on charge at night/in the office
Im tempted to try the 1.9GHz hack but I want to make sure the 1.8 is stable for a week or so first. However the bottle neck is now more around memory/2d graphics so increasing the speed wont add much
I have my Desire Z on the stock speed and I got 1600 on Quadrant

So, as the title says this is a poll about phone over clocking.
Who's phone is capable of overclocking and who's isn't?
My goal is to find out if there is a way to tell if you can overclock or not based on the phones s/n.
Procedure:
So pick the proper answer on the poll, then if you could please make a post saying whether you can or cannot overclock along with your s/n.

I cannot and my serial number is HT03GHF05302 JV002-00 D.
my hero can, yes
I tried several methods of OCing, and finally found one that works for me on another site. I'll PM it to you since I don't know what the rules are on posting links to other sites here.
In short, yes I can, but only using a certain method.

been oc since Toast released his kernel, but I do still get the random fc on incoming calls once or so a week. its annoying but if the call was important they leave a message. The difference in speed is worth it.

D3fault sent me the link and now I can OC up to 710 (768 freezes me). Before he sent me the zip file for the OC stuff I could not run any OC ROM's, no overclock widget, or setcpu. Now I can run overclock widget (LWP flies now) and setcpu. Still can't get all OC'd ROM's to load but it is worlds better than it was.
Lastly, I do get some heat though, oh well.
Here is the link for those who can't get their hero to overclock, try this (courtesy of D3fault, not me). Download and add to your SD, flash, download overclocking program of choice (I really like the OC widget in the market) and done.

Ummm, why do you want my S/N #??? My hero is oc'ed an loving it.. depending on what rom i use that day..some get hot, some FC some things...but a few are flawless fer me with a lil tweek here an there
Overclocked to 710 (too squemish to get the higher kernel) and though it sucks through battery like no tomorrow, and the fact that... well.. it didn't speed any lag in the os itself, games and graphics work a hell of a lot quicker!
ROM - Bittersweet v1.2/stock radio/using DialerOne/LauncherPro
Kernel - Toast-godmode OC .29 kernel for DamageControl/based roms
Neocore:
1.5 - 12fps
2.1 - 24/28fps
w/oc kernel - 30/32.8fps
@lokipipin, the OC wants to find if there is a correlation of phones serial number differences to the freq. of people who can't overclock (i.e. it could be a revision, or even a ****ty batch of pcbs or something, and that could be tracked by s/n)

Well, there's not much i can do with your serial number that will harm you, so don't worry. But i'm looking to find a correlation between serial numbers and chip revisions, which would in turn let us know based on serial number if you can OC and etc.
We did this with the PS3 world a long time ago and it was pretty helpful, i'm surprised no one did it sooner.
And only based off the two that i have already, i can say that maybe the D batch was manufactured with lower quality chips. But that's only based off of two results, just imagine if i had more to compare.

Obviously the actual credit for that goes to person who posted it over at Android Central, beezy420. It's worked for me and several others so it's worth a shot if nothing else works for you.
I flashed it to my rooted stock 2.1 and it worked, so give it a shot.
yes my hero is OC'ed with 710
So far I have only tried to OC my Hero once. I did it with Zen's MT3G ROM and it worked, but it definitely created some heat. I think with that one it was OC'd at something like 691. Like I said, phone worked, but it DEFINITELY heated up a LOT more than normal. I can't easily access my s/n right now, so I'll have to update this post when I can.
I can OC to 787 or higher. Been running OC since day one of toast first release 1-2months ago. I have made a few kernels for myself with 787 and once with one a step higher, all booted fine with no reboots.

Hi,
I have CM6 and Overclock widget on my Hero CDMA and all is great.
I know the Hero CPU is only 528mhz
I noticed that on my overclock ..
before CM6.. it only gave me up to 528.
Now i have options much higher...up to 768!!!
does it really run that fast? have they been able to speed up the CPU? if so.. is it save? and how fast is save for everyday use?
currently running at 691 ...
691 is as high as the kernel that is included in the current CM6 ROM will go.
What about with darch kernel #9
Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
so is CM6 Froyo the only fully working sprint Hero Froyo?
There are just so many threads that it is hard to find what it takes to get a working android 2.2 on my hero.

Flash one of Deca's uncapped kernels if you want to go higher. Darch capped the froyo kernel @ 691 so it would boot on all phones.

Each phone is different in how well they do when pushed hard. Some work fine above 691..some won't.The options are there for you to try and for those whose phones are stable at the higher clock frequencies .

Yes..you will have to flash a different kernal,as silverxj already told you.The RC-1 is locked at 691. You asked why your oc widget had higher settings..not if you could oc it higher.
Don't think you can brick your phone..but might get stuck in a boot loop on start up..or get a bunch of FC's.
I haven't taken any temps of my case to see if mine is hotter or not.It doesn't feel any different to me.

well.. without loading any new kernels..
tried it... (i should have did a nandroid before I did)
been running 710mhz for a few days.. no issues.. but could not tell if it was any faster.
I have JIT running with overclock widget
downloaded a linpack test...
528 gave linpack 3.5
710 gave 4.8
tried 730mhz.. and the phone locked up..
I have tried rebooting.. but each time it boots up into 2.2.. and start all the widgets... once the overclock widget is hit.. it locks up. I tried to get to the widget to lower the clock before it sets.. but it will not take.
I put it in the fridge to cool the phone before trying again... but it did not help.
Finally did a nandroid backup!
then tried flash 2.2 aug 22 and it booted but with same issues.
my last hope.. is to do a full wipe and start fresh! again!!!!!

why dont you just root it and apply OC kernel and get rid of the bloatware? mine runs smooth as hell on stock rom
i'll 2nd the mikshift rom and also the bcnice oc kernel (& setcpu) after loading the rom
the processor runs at 250'ish mhz when not being used then jumps up to a nice snappy 1.5ghz undervolted any time its being used
the speeds are completely configurable go as high or as low as you like under certain conditions or keep it stock at a constant 800mhz

Whats an OC kernal?
OC stands for over-clocking, so a kernel that has the ability to be over-clocked, aka, run faster than the factory settings

The kernels are undervolted...where the voltage of the processor is lowered to have better battery life and performance..so its better for you..even if you stay running at 806mhz

I second KILO, I know some people hate the Sense UI but there are alot of people that like it. My wife specifically got this phone just for Friend Stream. Root + Stock Rom + OC Kernel is really a great combo and verry stable. Getting rid of the bloatware will make you feel good, but the phone runs well with it, so it is not essential. However every sprint phone I get the first thing to go is Nascar and Football app, ESPN is better imho.
I personally like the AOSP look and feel
Releasing my kernel ver10 which has NO OVERCLOCKING but has Undervolting. I'm pretty happy with the speed of Tegra 2 and I think there are a few advantages in keeping our speed in stock. Advantages IMO are as follows
1. Better Battery life
2. Less heat
3. Stability (unless it is too undervolted)

Nice. I'm not a fan of overclocking, however undervolting DOES interest me. As soon as I get an opportunity, I may try this out.
Curious, what's the stock voltage?
OK, LMK how it goes.

stock - 750mv - 1000mv
Well I tried it out real quick, it works well (haven't verified battery life changes), but I had some questions:
Is there anyway to set the voltages explicitly? SetCPU didn't work with it (couldn't even change the freq or scaling governor).
I forgot your kernel doesn't support mounting the internal SD over USB. Is that something that will be fixed soon (assuming it's actually broken)?
I won't have my tab for a few weeks, sending it in for warranty replacement. So I won't be able to do further testing.
Thanks for the great work!
Hello clemsyn,
Try it out and battery life is soooooo gooood ... lot better than the OC 1.5GHZ one, of cause it run slower, but it's where i came to ask, if you could release one with the same voltage but for 1.2Ghz (which i guess it's stock speed)?
Many thanks for your hard work

OK here it is...this is basically stock voltage with OC to 1.2 ghz.
Thanks. Right now I'm tryingout the 700-900. Quadrant dropped from 2350 to 2150 going from ver9 to the UV.
I've been using the original kernel posted in this thread for a little while now. It has some strange slowdowns when the tablet first boots (from being powered off), but after that it runs great. Have not had any freezes, so it seems stable. Quadrant scores are ~ 2300.

Thanks clemsys for this OC, but got FC every time i run Quadrant ... anyway back to version 10 uv for now
Hmmm, for some reason my pad won't run any of your Ginger undervolted offerings (can't get past my splash screen). But I'm very happy with Ginger9... Thanks!

Thanks. Right now I'm tryingout the 700-900. Quadrant dropped from 2350 to 2150 going from ver9 to the UV.

While the quadrant is down a little, I can't really tell any difference in performance when using the tablet. If the battery life improves then I will stick with this one.
sorry if this has been answered before, but the undervolted
kernel still has cifs support?
(just to check, you need clockworkmod to install this, right?)

Yes it does and cwm is required to install
thanks soo much for this. I've been wanting to undervolt but the overclocking for me was a deal breaker. 1ghz is fast enough for any android app imo. Gonna try this soon!!!!!

OK here it is...this is basically stock voltage with OC to 1.2 ghz.

This one is perfect for me, and for some reason I am able to use quadrant for once... beer is on it's way...
Wont go past splash vegan 5.11. Installed it via cwm then whiped Calvin and cache partition. Any ideas?

Seems like your tegra can't take the underclocked settings.
Well that sucks
I recently flashed the newest Trinity Kernel on my Nexus 7. I still have the stock ROM. I tried to tweak the CPU settings with ROM Toolbox and the most I can overclock is 1400mhz. Why can't I overclock to 1600? Is it because of the stock ROM? I'm looking into Glazed Jelly Bean as a custom ROM but I'm not sure I want or need to use a custom ROM at this point.
Any suggestions?
Because he dropped the Max. You probably flashed A111 correct? That's a TSVZ meaning it is slightly over clocked and undervolted kernel meant for battery not for performance.

try a96, its one of my faves. it has a max of 1700mhz http://goo.gl/mLUCZ
Mildly on topic question ... do you notice any imporvments with overclocking? My first experience with overclocking as on my Hero, and then Galaxy S1, but this N7 just feels so fast i cant see overclocking making it any smoother? lol
thanks

Nice, ill have to look into rooting sometime soon.
Ok, I got the a96 and I've flashed it...
Is there a detailed changelog for each version? The a111 said it was a 1600mhz kernel so I don't understand why it was dropped down to 1400. That's where my confusion was.
I did notice some increase in speed at 1400. I was having some stuttering issues with Dead Trigger and Minecraft PE, and they were less with the 1400. I've got it running at 1600 now but I don't know what it will do to the battery or how well it will perform. I'll find out later. I've run through the battery pretty quickly today, but I was tinkering with it A LOT so it's not accurate.
What kind of tweaks could I do using Rom Toolbox that would help me maximize my battery while overclocking to 1.6?
Dont over clock.. i dont even see a need to. I use the ondemand gov which stutters a little but using interactive clears that up. Also using the CFQ IO as it is the stock IO used. Its stock so its gotta be good . Also you should turn F-Sync off that helps quite a bit. Also you could toggle auto hotplug and make it only run two cores while gaming and then turn it back on when finished so that way it will hotplug cores as it sees necessary. You could also up the voltages a little bit, some CPU's dont like the lower voltage and that will cause stuttering and glitching just up them by 25mV and see if it clears if not try another 25mV.
I will try those things, but I really want to play with overclocking and learn what happens. This is my first Android device so I'm experimenting and playing around.
But I have one more question...I've overclocked to 1.5...I found 1.6 to be the same as 1.5. But it seems that after an hour or so, it resets to 1.3. in ROMToolbox. Why is this?
Don't use rom toolbox. Use the Trinity app. It sticks just fine for me. Besides you support the dev to make better kernels.

youre not the first
Overclocking past 1.4 Ghz doesn't result in any major usability improvements. I've gone up to 1.7 Ghz and the only thing it does is make my tablet really warm and unstable. All you really need for improving system performance is I/O tweaks to speed up app and page loading, and a little bit of GPU overclocking to help with the transitional effects.
and, to be honest, depending which trinity kernel im using, im using either 1100 or 1150mhz mostly. on a111 im using 1100mhz and on a96 i used 1150mhz. with those speeds everything is still fast but a bit better on battery

If you want a little more information about the the overclocking if you havent already you might want to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788759 its the official thread of the trinity kernel for grouper.
