I like using OS Monitor. I believe you can adjust the clock freq's with Process Monitor Widget as well, although i've never used that option before. You can't use either of those two apps I mentioned to set profiles. You can only adjust the governor and the clock speed.
And you need a kernel that allows overclocking, you probably knew that though
We're comin from a pure power source.
If you're running an aosp rom like cm7 or decks you can do over/under clocking from the advanced options. You can install viperboys script for undervolting. My favorite kernel is savagedzen but I'd recommend trying them all.

yea its pretty good if you have a.capable.kernel
yep, that's what I used when I had HTC Hero, worked great, and yes, u gotta have a compatible overclockable kernel.
haven't tried it with Epic yet, its fast enough for me so far.
Does it work with the mixup kernel

It will but it isn't really necessary as the kernel will scale up and down on its own. Running that widget is just one more service occupying memory.
The defaults on MixUp are set to default 1000 Mhz which is same as stock -- You will need SetCPU or overclock in order to boost your speeds to 1200 Mhz. I recommend SetCPU. When I was on hero had bad experience w/ overclock. Never once have I with SetCPU.
Argh! I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up; I've got setcpu installed now.

Ive used on demand for the most part. I've been trying out Interactive the past couple days and it seems just a hair snappier. I haven't noticed a negative impact on battery either.

what do all the interactive, userspace, and conservative do? i get the other ones.
I'm going to try smartass. I've turned off screen off profile on setpcu. Since yesterday I was using interactive 120/78?. Not bad, the battery life been pretty good to me.

Governors Explanation
Which ROMs are you using that have support for this new fangled smartass governor?
I'm currently running 7.0.0 with the stock kernel and I have access to all but smartass.
It's kernels, not ROMs, my friend.

Right, I am aware of the difference. I was curious as to which ROMs people were using that included the kernel, I didn't realise everyone had specifically flashed a smartass kernel.
Thanks for the clarification.
There aren't any roms that include this kernel. You flash separately.
cm7 rc4 ladios, 6-7 kernel

I'm personally using drowningchilds 6-7 kernel, which has the smartass governor. The thread can be found in the aria development section
Sent from my cm7 Aria.
Drowningchild has a kernel for CM7 and one for Liberated. I use CM7 with the 6-7 kernel on smartass governor overclocked at 320-787.
On a side note, I did take the advice from drowningchild's kernel thread and it has proven to work: if you flash the kernel, do not flash the GPS old libs, as it will make your CPU usage skyrocket and you'll get horrible battery life.

i recently rooted my wildfire and have installed cyanogenmod 7.0.3 and wanted to double check something, ive been looking around threads and these overclocking guides and i saw that one of them said you only need a kernel with the ability to overclock if you are on stock rom, otherwise you can install setcpu straight away and overclock, could someone please just clarify this, thanks
Cm7 has overclock built in so no need for additional kernal or setcpu app
Go to Settings > Cyanogenmod settings > performance > CPU settings
It's basically setcpu built in

There is a check box that says something like " set at boot" tick this and it will retain your settings

Also Smartass Governor is very good. Its interactive so manages CPU when required or when your handset is idle

so does this mean it wont affect battery too much as it will automatically reduce the speed and increase it when required, also what speeds would you recommend for min and max?

Yeah, as far as I know it caps min setting to 352 when idle/sleep even if you have yours min set higher than that. It then uses required CPU up to your Max depending on what processes are taking place.
Overclocking will effect battery life if you push it to far. I currently have mine set at 352/691 and it works for me giving speed and battery life.
Experiment your own tho

Yup. Just flash a kernel.
I flashed the salvage zen but I still dont see an area to change CPU settings? Its not like the dragons ahead menu =()

Hey guys with all the quadrant scores being posted everywhere, I haven't seen a topic dedicated to these alone. So that's what this thread is for. Here are the rules:
Rule 1: when you post a quadrant please tell everyone what Rom/Kernel you are running so if anyone wishes to follow your steps they may do so.
Rule 2: Please merge your posts if your going to post one after another or simply edit your post and update it to maintain order.
That's it. Thanks guys and here is my quadrant. AOKP 40.1 devil .97 with v6 super charger and kak

Hey azuma how did you get your CPU so high? Also I need you to test something for me. Antutu tels me I'm pulling over 3200 in a quad. But quad pro tells me just over 2600. I'm unsure which to believe

I believe antutu runs more tests than quadrant, therefore showing a higher score, but I could be mistaken?

Dim your screen. Go to (I think development) and put a chexk in kill background processes and leave no programs running. I also use toolbox pro to freeze apps that continuously run and use the mobile web version of them.

Seems like you started this thread so we could show off each of our own tweaks and roms. I came here for a little advice too. That way I could see some big performance increases to my phone.
(first screen capture)
old rom: AOKP 40
old kernel: devil .79
old CPU governor: smartassv2
min-max frequency: 200-1400
(second screen capture)
Current rom: AOKP 40
Current kernel: devil .79
Current CPU governor: conservative
min-max frequency: 100-1400
I was curious I used the ROM setting built into the AOKP rom to set the cpu frequency, but should i use devil kernel config or manager or nstools. or is that just for live OC? My cpu frequency is set at boot. My quadrant scores are pretty low. Any tips for a noob?

Yeak I got a couple for ya.
Go to settings, Developer settings, then put a check mark in Force GPU Rendering Make sure the Max CPU is 1400 low is 100 Governer I have set to conservative, ZRam is set for 100mb. Try those settings and reboot before you test again

Ok I believe the Force GPU rendering definitely made the biggest difference. My 2d and 3d scores jumped up. I updated my post. For some reason in the ROM controls it took a couple tries for the new cpu and governor settings to stick after reboot.

MunkyDrunky that still seems a little low considering what everyone else is pulling. Try this as well. And I'll include the files from my phone when I get to my computer with instructions.
Get if not already had toolbox
And go to performance and SD card boost. Change the value to 2480 (I think it is. It will give you a preferred high set)
Go to app manager and freeze any constantly running services that you would normally use such as yahoo mail Facebook etc. And use the mobile web versions to help save ram. I'll include v6, 3G, and a few other files you'll need as well.
After the SD boost and app freeze reboot phone into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot and try your test again.

Ok Ive used Rom toolbox when I was using the Gummy rom. Would I still use devil kernel config or manager for the cpu and ram free value changes? How do I make sure the changes will always stick, ive had trouble with that after reboot.

I should say my running apps are usually not many. Right now its Rom Control, Android keyboard, Maps, Nova Launcher, and Rom Toolbox, and Superuser. I test my gps a lot with Maps. Otherwise I dont have a lot running since this isnt my daily use phone. I want it to be again but want to get it flying first.
Thank you for the good advice and help. Trying SD boost now...will try v6 and 3g speed boost later
I use v6 supercharger, sd boost, and app quarantine while at 1300 MHz and I still only get around 1500...I feel like that's pretty low for AOKP MS6 with devil right?
