I want something that I can monitor what my CPU Clock is at. Something that will tell me what my clock is running with the screen off. Is there any way of doing this?
setCPU might work for you
Doesn't SetCPU just tell you what the governors are set at and what the clock is currently running at? I want something that will tell me what the clock was running at when the screen was off. And preferably free.
setcpu is free for xda members, search for it on here...as far as when the screen off I'm not sure. I was just reading a post but can't remember what it was about dammit, lol, you've tried the market then? if so just google it man

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

Hi, i just want to know how far can anyone stably overclock their HTC Magic and how long have you been overclocked?
Thanks,
Sent from my Sapphire/Dream using XDA App
I usually run at 128 min 480 max. When I overclock it's usually to 537. The highest I can go is to 595
Are you using a 32b? Have you tried overclocking for long periods of time?

Mytouch 3g 1.2. Kinda a 32b. Weird device.
I used to run at 537 max and it ran well. But I see minimal improvement in speed overclocking. For a week I ran at 595 max. Killed battery life... but ran well other than that.
Oh, why are you on a lower clock speed? What rom are you using?

Thats nice, i might try that rom i havent seen a 652 settings from the past roms that i've tried. Unbelivable battery life.. any special settings i need to know there? Hows the speed performance? Are you a 32b or a 32a?

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
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I believe antutu runs more tests than quadrant, therefore showing a higher score, but I could be mistaken?
My phone IS fast and stable, but now I think I need to work on better battery!?

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?

What kind of settings are you guys using for SetCPU? What profiles, voltages, speeds, etc?

Right now SETCPU is kinda of unlessc Whatever profile you make will be taken over by Project butter AKA Googles Powerhal. Setcpu will only really help you if you are using Faux123 kernel but then you might has well support faux and buy his app since it will give you voltage control and color settings. I do not think setcpu gives you voltage control with faux123 kernel but i am not 100% sure about that. I am sure down the road setcpu will play a bigger role once kernels start to change more and give you more options.

I underclocked. It gives me more battery life. Max @918mhz.

I noticed that if I just look at the stats of setCPU (without changing any stock settings) then the phone jumps between 384 MHz to 1584 MHz just by breathing on the screen... and that's not an exaggeration...
