[Q] Good OC settings

So I downloaded the DX/D2 Overclock app from the market, but I don't really know what to set it to. I'm a heavy texted that uses a bit of 3G. Not a lot of gaming, the most I do is Angry Birds or a GameBoy emulator.
Based on that information, what would be some good overclock values for me to set?

personally, i would set it at a medium voltage with the scaling govenor on performance and the scaling bars set to max 1000 and min whatever you like....i keep it at 1000/1000 but battery is costly

If you want to overclock I use the 1.25 low voltage.

After seeing this thread I got the app and I'm at 1.15 ulta low voltage. Voltage is similar to stock.
Stock. Overclock
Slot 1 - 400Mhz 33v 400Mhz 36v
Slot 2 - 600Mhz 48v 700Mhz 51v
Slot 3 - 800Mhz 58v 900Mhz 56v
Slot 4 - 1000Mhz 62v 1150Mhz 62v
Not a massive increase in speed but still noticeable. Hopefully keeping the voltage close will help prevent overheating. Probably stay at 1.15 for a few days to see how everything goes. If it's stable and doesn't overheat and depending on how it affects battery life I might crank it up and see how it goes.

I run 1.35ghz low voltage. Rock solid and no heat issues.
As long as you don't set it to boot with untested settings you should be fine experimenting. I tweak settings and run quadrant to check for performance. Trial and error.

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.

Ive used similar settings and worked fine on my phone running Rubix.

question reguarding overclock rom

hi, i've got a htc wildfire.. well obviously considering i'm posting in this section
anyway, i've installed wildpuzzle 0.8 with the overclocking kernal, what i'm wanting to find out is....
when running setcpu, the cpu will change it's frequency depending on usage.
but what about if setcpu isn't installed and you use the rom to overclock to say 748.. will the cpu stay at 748 permanently, or will it drop down and up natively depending on usage, like setcpu does??
thanks

i would say without set cpu or a specific speed framework, it would revert back to standard 528max 480min
which overclocking kernel have you got, be aware that if you have 130 kernel and overclock, wifi hotspot will not work, you can see phone but you won't be able to connect, you need to use 055 kernel from wildpuzzle 8.0.11 thread.
a small side note, i have just recently changed my overclocking from 691max to 652max, no discernable difference in speed, linpack for 691mhz was 2.9, for 652mhz i'm still getting 2.8 mflops, but huuuuge difference in battery life.
691 max struggling to get 2 days, 652 max after 24 hours i still have 82% battery left.

how do you see this mflops thing? and is it like a cpu score?

Download Linpack For Android from the market, and, Yes, in a way, it is like a CPU Score.

Overclocking question

Having recently come back to Android from BB, leaving back when the Magic was only just on it's way out, I'm slightly behind on things.
I have rooted and overclocked my Milestone 2 to 1.25ghz ULV but am curious as to whether it would use less power than the stock clock running at stock voltage.
Any input is appreciated
Ben

generally speaking both the voltage and current have influence on it but in my experience i think it's might related to the voltage . high voltage use more power

What voltage are you using?

I'm using stock Droid overclock Ultra Low Voltage settings

I'm using 1.35ghz / 68 vsel

Does uninstalling setcpu return overclock to normal?

Okay, before I overclocked, my score on quadstandered was around 1600, overclocked to 1.5 and got a score of 2300. I left the setting at 1.5 and uninstalled setcpu and tried another test. I got a score of 2800?

which ROM are you running?
I know CM has it's own CPU scaling settings that may have retained the settings from SetCPU after uninstalling

it will set it to the max clock of the kernel you are using (thats if there isnt a built in scaling program with the rom) most kernels will go to 1.5 Ghz some go up to 1.9Ghz. 1.5 should be grand but 1.9 could do some damage having set that the max will be the max you can set setCPU to
