i've been wondering .. How bad is it ??
Will it ever kill my phone .. ? or cause anythin bad to it ?
like instability ?
if not ..
and it's completely safe ..
please .. Tell me how 2 overclock it
Cheers ..
Try by yourself.
No risk - no fun

Look, I don't want to discourage you but...months ago I had a problem with a volume rocker. It wasn't functioning. I sent my X8 for repair and they replaced it's motherboard. I think the cause might have been the overclocked CPU so now I'm not using OC anymore.
Be careful.

Which frequency were you using? I OCed my phone to 691MHz and it works fine.
Probably 710MHz. I was a noob back then

Maybe the connection between the motherboard and volume rocker is not functioning.
BTW,If you don't want to kills your phone,just don't overclock.
No dude .. i don't wanna kill it For sure ..
i use overclock with froyobread rom at 748 Mhz, and it's very smooth. sometimes my phone overheats just a little bit, but if you worry about it you can try a lower frequency. you can install the module with rootexplorer, or maybe file expert, but just if your phone is rooted. i think you should try it out
mine is running @748MhzMax, 480Minimum : Very fast and stable!
Can you tell me how to overclock it? I downloaded SetCPU, but max was 600MHz. I read that i need custom kernel or what?

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.
just curious really as my phone never gets warm or anything running at 768mhz the battery life is also pretty good.
hey,
i don´t think so, because in the worst case your phone will take damage. But this ~770 mhz are about 250 more then before. Im happy with this xDDD
that is true haha, i just dont see it doing much harm if the phone will run stable higher at the same voltage or the tiniest bit higher
No, that's the limit of the MSM7225. (Achieved by adjusting the PLL to its max, any higher will overrun the limits of the chip, and cause it to most likely fail)
i would like to know, if its very bad for the phone, if you let it permanently run with full speed. Ok, if it will get very hot.. thats clear, but is it bad if you have the 77mhz and it is for example in silent mode, or when you listen to some music. Should you ever take some possible speed away, if its not need? (thx)
The hardware life will probably be reduced. By how much, it cannot be said definitively, but, I am pretty sure that by the time the hardware fails because of overclocking, the phone will have been retired long back.
What you are requesting (Dynamically changing speed) is exactly what Speed Governors (Performance, Internative, OnDemand etc) do. If you are on CM7, use Smartass Governor, because it's the "smartest". If not, then use Interactive governor.
i use ginger yoshi... and sometimes it sais that the sd was removed. Could overclock be a reason for this?
I dont think so. I got the same issue once, and formatting the SDCard fixed it.
ok i will try it thanks

To use overclocking and governers on sense roms, oc kernel and application like setcpu are must. Setcpu has governers too.

hi guyz, i have a little question for you
does someone have an hd2 with android witch is overclocked to over 1ghz? 1.5ghz too? and, is it a warried operation or cpu has a low overhead in that situation?
3rd and last question, if i put my hd2 in 1.5ghz mode, and force a bench test, may i broke my hd2 with going upper than cpu Tjunction or there's a system protection witch shuts down all the hardware else the cpu is too close to Tjunction? (like normally pc cpu)
i don't know if snapdragon has system protection, so, i don't want to try to fuse my hd2 (it's my main phone)
and, for users who whant to know, yep, i'm using wp7 because it's smoother than android, but, if i try to use android with that overlock, may it can be smooth like wp7, maybe
and, please, don't say that android is smooth, because it has some micro freeze in the continuity of the animation, and i hate that
thank you for your answers

You can set your clock to max, but make a profile to downclock your cpu speed to ~500 MHZ when it heats up.

oh, you could make a profile with downlcloking when cpu goes to a specific temperature?
nice, what's the tjunction of snapdragon? is 50°C too hight?
not sure, to be honest, I don't overclock my device. too scared to do so :/
but when I did overclock it I set the temperature to 41-42 Celsius.
you can tell that I got a lot of high temp warnings, safe is better than sorry.

different builds use different kernels, and each support different max CPU speeds. If the kernel supports overclocking, the developer usually mentions than in the first post. Note that Some kernels/builds do not support any kind of overclocking, so the max CPU speed would be ~988 MHz
I don't know anything about overclocking on my Samsung Vibrant T959. I tried to.. I installed the Glitch Kernel HL. with CM7. Can't get to 1.2 ghz at all. I don't know what to do... Do i have to mess with the mVs at all? Please help I'd appreciate it. Anyone recommend an app to use to overclock? I'm using Voltage Control atm... Please help. Thanks.
Set cpu in my opinion is the best app to overclock.
Simply Honey 5.0 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
Agreed, setcpu would be your easiest bet.
Just install, open, slide the bar to 1200 or whatever you want.
I would recommend putting a widget on your home screen.
Makes it really easy to see what you're set on, and easy to modify.
Also, you can create profiles, like under clocking to 400 while the screen is off.
Install quadrant to get a rough idea of how the overclock is according affecting performance.

I disagree with these 2... voltage control is fine... and oc is very straifhtforward... get oc kernel, use oc app to oc... forget wut they said about the profiles, from my exp, they only make things worse. Just oc and dont touch mvs

Antutu's CPU master is another OC alternative for ya, if you are too cheap to spend money on SetCPU that is.
setcpu. best so far for me

- Agreed! that messing with voltage is more trouble than its worth.
- Disagree! that profiles make things worse. It really depends on the settings. You should never UNDERclock your "max" to anything less than 800mhz.
For example: I have 1 profile set, its a High temp profile. When the phone reaches 125F setcpu resets to 800mhz(max) - 200mhz(min). Until the phone cools to under 125F then setcpu bumps it back to 1.7Ghz(max) - 200mhz(min).
Trust me this happens often and I'm glad I have that set, haven't had any problems with it.
Setcpu seems to be easy for me!
Hi!
I've recently overclocked my phone to 1.284GHz. Now what? I don't see any significant changes. Srsly. ._.
And can anyone teach me how to undervolt? I think its useful.
Ciao!
if your phone have minimum apps to load u cant see the speed,,
if you have more apps to load then u will see the speed.(it does not hang or lag)

Overclocking your phone wilm improve performance when your phone really needs it your governor may keep your phone at some low frequecy unless speed is needed.. You can change governers and frequencies using no frill cpu control
undervolting is pre enabled in some roms and kernels and requires a script in init.d
go to system/etc/init.d using root explorer an see if there is a file named 00undervolt or bacem tweak.. Just edit it and change to you desired value (-100mv works fine.. I got random reboots at -120mv)
I'm experiencing reboots since I've overclocked.
Lol. That s the problem of merruks kernel.
