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!!!!!!

SetCPU configuration

Hello,
I just installed SetCPU and configured some profiles. I'd like to hear comments about them:
Screen Off 83/83
Charging 667/83
Battery < 15% 83/83
Battery < 30% 222/83
What do you think of setting 83/83? Too low?
How can I overclock?
I'd like to set a profile for temperature controlling, what is considered a high temp?
Thanks!

I would like to know about this as well. How has those settings worked out for you so far?

Using 83/83 was way too slow. When I had screen off and wanted to turn it back on, it would take too long.
I'm currently using these profiles (in order off priority):
Charging 667/83 (ondemand)
Screen off 222/83 (conservative)
Battery <30% 222/83 (conservative)
I haven't figured out how to overclock yet.

For overclocking we would nees a custom kernel that supports overclocking.

Which I assume we don't?

Not yet. But now that the first view custom roms came up i believe we will find one coder that's building a custom kernel.

That's exciting! Are the custom roms you refer to the ones from samfirmware?

Nope... I refer to the real custom roms. Aosp, jpb light, jpa hybrid... And currently there seems to be an eclair rom with ext4 fs is in work... Have Look in the development section.

I also hope to get on whit overclocking. This phone just needs a little more juice.

Thanks for the info. I'll give this a try.

Charging 667/667 (performance)
Screen off 166/83 (performance)
Temp >37C 166/83 (conservative)
rest of the time i have under-clocked it to 333/166 (conservative)
ondemand scaling is a bit laggy when switch speeds...
current setup gives me bout 45-52 hours of usage time.
this includes around 200 msgs a day(outgoing), a total of about 1 hour wifi on time...and around 30 mins bluetooth on.plus an "always screen on " option while texting...
apps/widgets running
$brightness is minimum....always.can increase using widgets when u wanna read or check sumthin out, then revert back to min.
#battery indicator pro
#sceen filter(to reduce brightness below android's set level, good at nite)
#chompsms
#ultra keyboard

running all the time...

Yeah, but we need someone who's crazy enough to try to overclock his i5800 without any information on the CPU X)

SetCPU lagged my phone like crazy all the time it was on.
Launcher pro+SetCPU was a damn nightmare, apps took close to 9 secs to load.

Do you get lag after turning the screen on?
I used to have anipet Aquarium Live Wallpaper + ADW Launcher EX, and had huge lag when turning the screen on - with 222/83. I stopped using the Live Wallpaper, and it got better, but there's still lag sometimes. I don't know how heavy ADW Launcher EX is, if it is it's fault or not.
Using performance scaling, if I'm not mistaken (the documentation page of setcpu is down) forces the cpu to always run at the max frequency, so it'd be the same as setting the max and min frequency as the same value, right?
I'll give a try at using conservative instead of ondemand and see if I get less lag, though I'd expect exactly the opposite!

What's the point on downclocking the CPU while using the phone ? I mean, 333mhz makes me think i bought a chinese phone (And not a cool one like the ZTE Blade).

i totally agree, i would love to able to overclock it, not underclock it

i have undeclocked it coz i want a longer "ON" time...i am texting and callin ppl most of the time so battery lasts jus for a day.i don't wanna charge it everyday.plus using at 333 isnt so bad..i don't play games(much)...and even when i do(angry birds,paper toss) it works fine...u will get used to it....and whats the point in overclocking this phone? with a crappy resolution no HD game will run on it.
the only thing that sucks at low speeds is the gallery.however this can be "solved" by using the Quickpic app.it's better organized and hella fast.but it lacks the fancy looks...
@iomartin..there is no delay or lag and i have disabled the lock screen also.i use go launcher btw.

A bit useless.. But there is a way to clock it at 523mhz if we read the CPU's specifications... That could be cool..

Wow thanks for this. I used these settings except for the last one (underclocking when the cellphone is being used)
Last time I recharged was 63 hours ago, and battery indicator still shows 50% left! I have:
- Watched an episode of Kenny vs Spenny (640x480)
- Played ~1h of games
- Surfing + downloading ~30min on Wi-Fi
- Installed ~ 10 apps
- Texted about 50 messages
- Made about a total of 10 minutes of calls
- Sent songs through bluetooth for.. ~10 minutes
- Listened to music for about ~30 mins
Still 50% left? Amazing. Of course this can (or is) a problem with the crappy indicator and it can quickly decrease to ~15 in a heartbeat, but it still is pretty amazing.
Phone says it has been on for 73 hours, I wonder if that's the actual time I recharged it for the last time, or if It's the last time it was charged?
Once again thanks for those profiles. First time I used the app I reckon setting the same but I used OnDemand scaling (What's the difference between these btw?) and It lagged like hell when I turned the screen on again. None of that happens now, the phone works the same way as if it had normal clock speeds.
Oh and I don't use 3G and I've got APNDroid blocking all internet connections. I wonder if that does anything to the battery life?
EDIT: Now I used some bluetooth for 15 mins and made few calls and it got bumped down to 15% and told me to recharge. Guess It'd still work for about 6 hours on stand-by but still the battery life for me was ~67hrs, whilst being ~48 before.

Overclocking with Jrummys?

I just downloaded Jrummy's Overclocker and i was wondering what are some settings for a safe overclock. im shooting for 1.2

1.2 should be no problem although all phones are different. start with the low voltage at 1.1 make sure the phone is stable. a quick test is to open the browser and load a few pages. a GOOD test is to run quadrant. then just increase the speed until it locks up. pull the battery and set it down 1 or 2 speeds and thats your max stable overclock at that voltage. most people are able to run 1.2 or 1.3 with no issues. i can run at 1.3 with no issues. any higher and after a few days (or less respectively) my phone hangs. Also increasing voltage will yield higher clocks but will drain the battery faster. just play around if the phone locks up just pull the battery. also i would not play with the manual settings until you are familiar with the basic ones first.

I am most stable at 1.25ghz LV. Currently running GummyJAR2.5 with Blueberry Theme.
No issues. I would recomend installing AutoKiller. This is not same as Task Killer. It frees up memory. Same function as the one that comes with Jrummy Overclock but you can customize it more.

auto killer waste battery we have plenty of memory on our phones

so what do you recommend for a jrummy oc? i was thinkin 1.2 on lv

I can only get up to Low volt 1.15 otherwise. Once I click on anything higher i get a MAJOR hanging as soon as its done overclocking. pissed but guess thats just the point that all phones are different.

yup...some people can run 1.4 with no problems...try upping the voltage a little

I wasn't a believer until I installed it. My ram use to run low and some times made my DX run slow. Since installing the autokiller, my DX runs smoother, zippier and consistant. I have mine pre-set at extream. As for the battery, I don't notice any difference and I am semi heavy user. I been running Autokiller for a while.

Hey guys, I recommend using QuickClock Advanced for some real battery savings. It calculates the lowest stable vsel your cpu can handle and then you can overclock from there.
my settings
300mhz 15vsel
600mhz 30vsel
900mhz 45vsel
1200mhz 61vsel

I could never get over 1.1 using jrummy untill I changed the gov, use anything but "on demand" and I can get 1.4 all day. The stock settings work well using the "performance" gov but battery life can suffer if you get crazy. Performance keeps it running at top speed all the time. Hope this helps.

help, frequent WF lockups

Hi, my gf has had her WF for a while and there was always some lockups but maybe like once a week.
Now, things are worse and it's about 2-3 times a day. Everytime she needs to take the battery out.
The phone was running wildpuzzle v0.7 rom, to try to stop the lockups i changed it to cyanogen 6.1 but the problem remained.
The phone was overclocked at 650mhz but the same problems exist even at default 518mhz.
I don't think the overclock was/is the problem, there is an app to test the stability of the phone and i tested for 5h at 710mhz and it was stable so 650 should be very stable. But as i said, even at 518mhz the problem persists.
What else...it's running jacobs overclock kernel...android 2.2.1 obviously.
I'm just hoping this is not a hardware error because we have no warranty, i SIM unlocked the phone...
What should i do? Is there anything i could try? I'm willing to try the official 2.2.1 or even 2.1 but i don't want to loose root, how do i do that without losing root? Really any suggestion would be very helpful.
Thanks

Can I ask wat u mean buy lockup do u freeze n u have to pull battery
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

yes, it just freezes and becomes completely unresponsive, the screen is ON, displaying whatever i was doing in the time of the lockup, and then the battery must go out or it would just sit like that for hours

Had the same problem once too.U or rather ur gf put both the max and min at 600+ didnt u?
When u use SetCPU,remember to set minimum at 245 or so.Should fix the problem

nope, min is 19 accodring to set cpu and max is 650
i will try to change min to 245, BUT...on the wildpuzzle rom i was using the 650mhz overclock kernel, so i didn't even use setcpu or any other program and still there were lockups
and i'll also try overclockwidget, thanks
other than that if everything fails i'll uninstall every overclocking program and run it at stock just to see how it works then

i have removed set cpu and so far no lockups, hmm

Its def a SETCPU problem. I haven't had a single freeze up since replacing it with OverclockWidget

i'll wait for a day or 2 just to confirm that there are no lockups and then i'll try OC widget, thanks to all

MAJOR overheating issue's on slim ics with devil3 kernel

as the title says, i have major overheating issues i will use the phone for 5 min then its becomes VERY HOT so i have to turn it off i have a OC but it never gave these issues before, on any rom even disabling the oc i still have these issues.

no live oc
so what is the prob? im on wifi it gets hot even on half brightness
on 3g i cant use my phone for more than 5 min before i need to turn the screen of.
this is worrying me alot.

Governor Performance is definetly NOT for everyday use - with performance your CPU is running at max speed all the time. I think your device is broken. My SGS with 112% live oc and lulzactive is only a little bit warm after 2 hours of YT and internet.

I'm not sure if his phone is broken. My phone used to get very warm, then after I changed rom it didn't get warm at all.
