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.
Here is the link to setcpu

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
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

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.
Thanks

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 .

so.. it can.. if I choose a higher setting... without any other changes?? Kernels?
what are the issues with trying higher settings that dont do well? can it brick my phone? or just heat up.. and it will shut down.

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!!!!!
If you are oc'ed to 710, you must have flashed a kernel. Stock cm6 only goes to 691

I'm still more or less a noob to the whole android customization, even though I tried out a lot of different roms on my saphire (MT3G). I recently upgraded to th MyTouch 4G, and immediately found a root method to install a custom rom. I tried several different roms for this device as well over the, last few weeks, and found that the ICE GLACIER 1.1.6 runs the most stable, and closest to the original. So my question is this: I have also been looking into overclock kernels as of late only to find that all the ones I try with my rom are either incompatible or cause frequent freezes, crashes, or restarts. Is there a kernel out here I have missed that will run smoothly with my rom? I have already looked trough some of the forums here and tried both versions of the faux kernel, and all the rest I have seen that aren't CM specific. Anyone can point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from Iced out Glacier (MT4G) v. 1.1.6
Gorilla's OC kernel that TeamSilence put in Ice-Glacier is a very strong and stable OC kernel. if I remember correctly that kernel will go up to 1708 or 1709 if you have SetCPU.
I am using set cpu, but even the kernel that comes with the rom freezes my phone up, or causes force closes and restarts out of the blue.

If you're OCing to 1.7GHz, that may not be the kernel's fault. Every CPU is different, some can't overclock as high as others. Here's a nifty thread on the subject.
Very true, just like the MT3G-Slide mine could go well into the 900's before it would lockup but my wife's can only hit 844 any higher and it locks

Thanks for the info. I love my MT4G as is, so overclocking isn't really a big issue, after reading this article, I am begining to wander if it is even a good idea. I was only curious to find out the problem because I never had such troubles overclocking my saphire (MT3G)
Edit: have reduced settings to 1497600mhz. Going to play around a little bit and see what my best settings are. As of now, this settings have outlasted all others. Thanks to those who responded. And HAIL to the devs who spend their time creating all these roms, so noobs like myself can easily make their devices unique!¡!¡!¡!¡!

Does the kernel affect battery life given the same clock speed? What I mean is if I am using CM7 RC1 with whatever Kernel it came with... and I change to the Faux kernel and keep the same clock speed will I see diff. battery life?
Are there any kernels that are tuned for better battery life?
Thanks,
RA

I'm running on the kernel that came with Ice Glacier now, thanks to a hard crash around midnight last night. I've been set at 1497mhz since I restored. No freezes, acceptable battery temps, and blazing response time. Now I only wander if one of the kernels allow a little better fine tuning, because if I try to change this one it only has two more setting, one in the 1600s and then max, both of which cause my phone to go crazy...

I don't know for certain, but I would think it matters more if the kernel is undervolted or not. Assuming the same usage patterns and CPU clock settings/profiles, the kernel that utilizes less voltage would preserve more battery, would it not? (Anyone with experience on the subject wanna chime in?)

I have moved from CM7 to Hombase 5.4, and found that setcpu no longer seems to do anything. on CM7 it worked as i had hoped, underclocking the phone when i was doing low intensity stuff like texting, and pushing it up to full power for videos etc. now it does nothing but tell me core temps, which are always high as its always running at 1Ghz.
Can anyone explain how to get it back to underclocking?
Many Thanks
Try a different kernel.

This is a known issue with the OC faux kernel. I was running into the same problem with his enhanced stock kernel after using webtop. After reflashing the enhanced stock 0.2.0 it would still get stuck at max 1Ghz after using webtop, but a reboot would get the underclocking working again.
I only tried the webtop hack to see if I could get it working. I haven't gone back into it at all so I don't know if this is something that will reoccur. Although I will say that with my day to day use I have not run into any clocking issues since.
Thanks, is there a page somewhere which details which kernels do what and which would work with my rom?

This is the page for faux's kernels. As far as details, start reading and searching through that thread as well as the threads for any ROMS you are using. 99% of the time people will either have the same problem (and possible fix), the other 1% of the time they will identify a bug (i.e. maxed out CPU).
Keep in mind faux does have different kernels for Froyo, GB, and CM7.
For some reason even if I move the slider from 1300my to 1000, when I touch the screen with at least 3 fingers for a few seconds it pegs out at 1300. I read our cpu's are daisy chained so to speak
so the 2nd core kicks in when needed. I tried cpu tuner and it gives the option to powersave and only use one core or if you choose performance it will allow Both cores. Just might be setcpu isn't designed fully for our dual core setup.
thanks for the link to kernels, but i cant find one for HomBase, or a Kernel only download on the homebase thread. i have the Version2, which has some blur, but only the 1.0Ghz clock kernel. where could i get the 1.3GHz download by itself, to see if that might help, as its the one CM7 had iirc
Thanks

Get the 1.3 from the faux thread that I linked to. They're in the very first post...
CM7 is the only ROM that has its own custom faux kernel. For all other ROMS just match the kernel to the build the ROM is based off of (Froyo or GB). If you're using V.2 of Homebase then use the GB one.
Update: Also, there are other kernels out there. I was only using faux's as an example since you were using CM7 and Homebase.
thanks, ive now got the 1.3Ghz kernel installed successfuly, but it still seems like setcpu will not underclock. i dont know if its normal, but the "Scaling" option is greyed out, and i cant get access to the Advanced tab. is there something im doing wrong in setcpu itself?
thanks again

Lack of underclocking is a known issue with the latest OC kernel. I'm unclear whether it's actually a bug with the kernel or with setCPU not supporting dual core devices. But yeah, there's a problem with it right now. I'm on the stock enhanced, and other than the webtop issue I mentioned above, it works fine.
Scaling/advanced are not available, this is something that is determined by the kernel you are using not the app.
ok so if i understand you right i would be best off using the stock enhanced kernel (for now), as it will underclock fine?

It's working perfectly for me, except after webtop use (which I don't normally use).
I'm still having the same issues regardless of weather I choose power save or performance it will not underclock, and those are the only governors I get the option of :s

ROM is independent from your overclocking capabilities. It is the kernel that allows you to overclock.
Change the kernel into another one.

Have you tried RaymanFX's CM10, he's calling it stable(ish) and I think it supports overclocking out-the-box. I found EOS 3 nightly (build 81) the best for me, as it was the only JB ROM that gTalk worked in. However I just found any JB ROM not stable / responsive enough. Browser crashes now and again, Firefox was stable though LOL.
I went back to ICS and still can't decide on EOS 2 or Megatron 1.1.6. They both are ultra stable but have annoying artifacts when widgets are in use. Apparently stock is still got some issues for some, so it seems HoneyComb is the only 100% solution
Has anybody got a good stable ROM without artifacts? Stock has no artifacts but I want a low bloat MOD, preferably AOSP based.
Elite or K.A.T.
Elite is working very well for me.
You can also try K.A.T. kernel
Both will give you full satisfaction for sure :highfive:
EOS nightly (build 81) suits for me. Put cpu speed on a save 1200 mhz with AnTuTu CPU master. Stable, fast, smooth. No isues so far.
