I currently have Overcome 1.4.2 and will upgrade it to 1.4.4 soon.
However, I don't know how to overclock my T-mobile tab to 1.4 ghz. Is there an application in Overcome rom that allows me to do this?

Install/Use SetCPU.
Make sure to tick "Set on Boot"
Thanks...but where do I get the app setCPU?
Is it free in market place? I don't have my tab with me currently so I cannot go into market place to find out.

Oh, I see from your signature that you only overclock it to 1.2 ghz.
What are your settings of the overclock? Why don't you go up to 1.4 ?
Do you see any strong negative effects to the battery life?
I just have no need to go to 1.4 on a regular basis.
From time to time I'll pop up the governor, but 1.2 is fine for day to day use. I do seem to have some battery heat issues (It's hot here in Texas like... all the freaking time) and have had my tab go into the 105 range on a couple of occasions, which scares me. (Although I think it's the case I'm using... Silicon and plastic hugging the crap out of it) So I just leave it at 1.2.

Hello
I have the Sprint Hero, am running the Aloysius ROM (last update that came out).. I have been using the SetCPU, but everytime i turn the screen off and then on again, all the values reset themselves to 245mhz max and min, down from the 528mhz/480mhz it was originally set to..
Why in the world does it keep doing this??? Its getting seriously irritating, and slows down the phone tremendously when trying to answer calls that come in while in sleep..
check your profiles. there is one for sleep/screen off. Probebly your problem. If not, then uninstall/reinstall.

I didnt check any of the boxes for the profiles.. is this the problem?
you aren't supposed to use setcpu with android 2.1
I don't think Aloysious has the overclocking kernel. You'd need it to manually adjust the frequency.

Ahhh Ic.. There in lies the problem...
Thanks.. I actually do prefer the Aloysius 1.0 over the 2.0 versions he has out.. It seemed to run much smoother, especially in screen transitions and just operated much smoother...
Will be going back to the 1.0 tonight...

Thats correct... FLIPZ does a great job of explaining in more detail about what setcpu does and how it works or (lack there of) in the Setcpu vs OverClock Widget section and he also explains that it may be the new sprint radio that could be the cause for slowing things down in >ANDROID DEVELOPMENT > 05/18/10 l FRESH TOAST v2.1 l BFS + OVER CLOCK.....im a noob to the site so cant post links
use the Overclock widget with 2.1
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.
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

dont know... here is what ROM i used.
and I am currently using Aug22 version.
the Blue version.

what would be the way for me.. to get into the phone without booting.. in recovery mode maybe..
and delete the overclock widget ????????????
So, I can only run my phone at a MAX 1.3 GHZ without it crashing..
How can I run it at 1.26 without it crashing?
I am running Kings Kernel #11CFS
with Virus Sense Rom RC3
Is there some setting I need to chang? or use a different kernel..
why would you want too ? i would imagine that would kill the battery and make the phone very warm ?
Not all CPU's are created equal. If yours is crashing a lot at that frequency, chances are that yours will almost never run stable.
you could try using conservative scaling but it still probably wont be stable. most evo's cannot handle it.
Heat is your enemy. I suggest you try my hardware mod to really crank up the freq.
Overclocking
I just rooted my phone and I downloaded setcpu and I want to overclock it, but the max that i get is 998. And was wondering how can i get it at 1.267GHz. Im new to the android. Can someone please help.
The stock kernel does not allow over clocking, you'll have to try out a kernel from the development section, I recommend the newest Kingz.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

Download a kernel that supports OC.
I tinkered around with OC'ing a few months ago I could never get it over 10xx without crashing. I just learned to live without setcpu.
I agree with voodoo there's really no benefit, unless you like pulling the battery. I didn't notice any better performance or speed while overclocking.

Mine is running very stable at 1.26Ghz and great battery life. Running BakedSnack 1.8 along with kernel #6. I'm using Overclock Widget instead of SetCpu as SetCpu was causing lagging response on my EVO.
I dont need 1.26 GHZ
I just wanted to Know why my phone wasnt running stable at 1.26 even thoug it said it was capable of doing it..

I agree with most ppl in that this phone is wicked fast as it is and its just not worth the risk/reward
HTC EVO4G A.K.A. Usain Bolt
Linpack: 34-35 MFLOPS Avg
Quadrant: 1500+
Kernel: King's #6 BFS
FPS2D: 54-55 FPS
ROM: Fresh 3.3
PRI: 1.77
I totally agree that heat is the undesired side effect of the overclocking of the Evo. I had been running mine at 1.152MHz and the noticed a couple of different colored spots on the screen especially during boot up with the bright white splash screen. This was caused by the excess heat from the CPU. I had my screen replaced due to dust under the glass and it is perfect, so no more overclocking for me.
I've tried both CM7 and Evervolv roms and they both freeze once I go past 1.51ghz. Anyone know a reason for this?
Using cwm3 or 2.5:
When I flash a rom I wipe cache, delvik, data and battery.
Then i install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard. I do this for roms, kernals, and gapps. I first flash rom then gapps then kernal.
Ive also tried setting permissions with cwm.
I am currently using CM7 with the gb kernal, and SetCPU. Funny thing is that setcpu sometimes has the bar thing set to 1.51 but then the max says 800mhz. I have to move the bar around for it to set correctly.
Some phones aren't going to be able to clock that high, no matter what what you do. The Hero CDMA was like this as well. Some couldn't go over 691 mhz.
Try and remember that this phone is marketed at 800 mhz, so making it all the way to 1.8 could be considered a pipe dream by some. Although I've personally seen a G2 make it all the way to 2.1 ghz.

Edit: As far as setcpu goes, I myself have had that same issue with the Shift and the Heroc. I am personally using the nofrills app. Best I've seen. You can find it in the Hero CDMA forum, first post of the aospCmod thread by user aosp.
What governor are you using under setcpu(assuming you are using setcpu)? Try using "on demand" if you haven't already tried that.

You didn't get screwed. Your phone works as advertised at 800Mhz. You're nearly doubling your speed at 1.5Ghz....

I was joking guys!
I just wanted to let everyone know I found that if I installed cpu master free version and set it to 608 / 1000 set to boot on and performance selected, my tab runs a whole lot smoother. My wife is able to play bejewelled blitz on facebook with it now so she is happy.
Seems the stock kernels are very Conservative on the scaling and never really run at 1000mhz till you really nail them.
If the battery life sucks a little more, which to me wasn't a biggie cause I get 3 days out of it you can buy CPU Master full version for 1.99 and it will allow you to run a screen off setting too.
Setcpu has done nothing but bogged my transformer down and my nexus S so I tried this one and it doesn't so I am passing on the info.
I am not associated with Cpu Master in any way.
If I helped you click on my THANKS button!
I assume you need to be rooted for this ?
Sounds very interesting ...I may have to try this out.
