What overclocking set up are your using ??
What Quadrant benchmarks are you getting ??
Which ones have you tested and what's your oppinion ??
What 'bout battery life ??
----------------------------------------------------------------
My experience:
1.- Stock experience.
I've been comparing the DZ to an X10 (1GHz SoC), performing the same tasks simultaneously on both. Without any overclocking, the Desire Z really blows the antenna off the X10.
IMHO HTC did a great job with the DZ and Sense here, this phone was already smooth as butter beforehand. I love scrolling with the "Asteroid belt" live wallpaper, full web browsing, viewing pics... everything is slick.
My batt life was pretty decent but not overstanding (it barely makes it to the end of the day, but I am aware I really sqweeze it, heavy user am I ).
2.- After Overclocking.
I've got some days with the godspeed overclocked (stock) kernel @ 1.42 GHz, no particular SetCPU profile set, just flashed and went staright to my standard everyday use:
- Battery life barely affected, I'd say unnoticeable unless I start to play games .
- Heavy tasks do run better @ 1.42 GHz, I can notice the improvement from loading angry birds to viewing powerpoints to web browsing, but I really don't notice any difference when using small "normal" apps.
- Quadrant score: 2471 @ 1.42 GHz (range fluctuates from 2100 to 2500)
Can somebody recommend me a good Doom/Quake like game ??
I tested overclock temporarily to about 1.3Ghz via the old temp root method (before we got the full root) and in all honesty I feel the stock default speed is very fast as it is. Until I actually come across a laggy situation (a high end game or something) then I am not really going to both with overclocking.
But would love to do it using a method not requiring flashing - something just done under root.
Stock Experience
This is my third htc android phone after having a hero, desire and now the z. Nothing about battery life on the z was going to surprise me after owning the desire. Stock battery life on the desire was shocking! underclocking saved it completely. Now although the Z is better its not much.
Battery life on stock you would be lucky to last a day, even without much use.
Custom Experience
Now to get the best out of all my android phones battery life I do 2 things. Underclock for screen off as low as your phone will allow (and powersave governor), on the desire and the z I could go as low as any kernel would allow us too, my hero was not so good and didn't like the low speeds
Overclock when in use (I got to 1.4ghz and get a nice experience), with a good governor, ideally the new "smartass" governor, but interactive or ondemand will be fine.
I now get about 48 hours from it, with a descent amount of use. Which is great for me, I charge it every night anyway.
More input appreciated
Stock Experience
Day two after getting my DZ I installed Quadrant Standard and performed a benchmark. The best I got was 1588, and that was completely stock with a few apps installed. The more I seemed to install on it the "worse" the numbers seemed to get..although my lowest score was only around the 1400 mark.
As far as battery went I was lucky to get 8 hours out of the phone (although I was obviously tweaking and playing with it alot). I followed a few of the battery saving tips here http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/05/20-tips-to-improve-htc-evo-4g-battery-life.html and it seemed to improve it so I could at least get 10-12 hours from it.
Overclocking
Since going to the 1.4Ghz overclock kernal this morning, the highest Quadrant score i've seen is high 1800's. Not a huge jump imo over the initial stock clock i was running..but I can definately tell the phone is running faster now.
Battery has yet to be determined as I just installed setCPU last night and havent' fully had a chance to gauge whether it's impacting battery yet or not.
EDIT: After flashing 1.4 on my phone in the morning..by the afternoon I was getting some funky things happening with the phone (weird sound quality during calls, getting stuck on reboot screen) so I uninstalled and flashed the 1.2 on to try it out. After rebooting I did a Quadrant test, but this time I put SetCPU from On-demand to Performance..and my Quadrant score broke 2k. So now i'm curious as to what I would get with the 1.4 kernal running Performance mode..but i'm leery about the way my phone was acting while using it..
Been trying to flash 1.4 but my phone freezes at boot and does not happen anything, however with 1.2 ghz I get a quadrant of 1900 - 2000.
Any ideas what I can do so my phone can flash the 1.4 ghz kernel? Or simply my phone can handle it?

a) try the new s-off method (uber root with scotty2's gfree)
b) download the 1.4Hz update again, and check the MD5 checksum

MD5 checksum are correct, I used your method for "dummies" and was able to flash the 1.2 ghz, why should not I be able to flash the 1.4?
Why trying a) will help me?

You're just putting on a new kernel, right ? What ROM version do you have ? I wonder if there's an incompatibility.
1.4ghz setcpu with the vision_oc.ko module load after every boot, oldest method found on this forum, stock rom, quadrant around 2200.

Yes what I am doing is download the zip enter into recovery mode and flash zip from sd card. No wipe since I am on stock Rom rooted and s-OFF. I can flash the 1.2 but not the 1.4

I don't use that method. There's an easier way without rebooting to bootloader:
Open the ROM Manager app
Tap "Install ROM from SD card"
then, scroll to choose the OC Kernel Update
ROM manager will do the rest.
Try this.

This was the first method I tried following your guide but not even like this. I wonder if it is the phone that cannot simply take the overclock isn't it a way of getting a kernel with standard 800 able to overclock to 1.4???

That worked for you ?? (flashing 1.2GHz first and then 1.4GHz)
I have a Desire Z with the 1.8GHz kernel and CyanogenMod 6.1 CR1.
I got a Quadrant score of about 2842 with no other apps running afterboot.
I upgraded from a HTC Magic and I had a X10 Mini in between (dont ask)
I missed the keyboard and this was cheaper then a desire HD with the same screen res (I know the physical size is smaller)
With the kernel hack and cyanogen im getting about 36hours of battery life but I am a relatively light user and generally keep my phone on charge at night/in the office
Im tempted to try the 1.9GHz hack but I want to make sure the 1.8 is stable for a week or so first. However the bottle neck is now more around memory/2d graphics so increasing the speed wont add much
I have my Desire Z on the stock speed and I got 1600 on Quadrant
I've been a Nexus S owner for about a month now and it's the best Android phone I've owned so far. If it had an LED notification light and better build quality it would probably be perfect in my book. Anyways, the phone has been extremely fast for me. This is also the first Android phone I've had no interest in rooting because everything works as I want it to stock.
I'm just wondering, is it worth it to root and overclock this phone? Does overclocking really improve the speed that much? Also does Voodoo really give noticeable improvements to the sound and screen?

yes, yes, and a huge yes to voodoo sound
For me personally, my NS goes up to 1,4Ghz flawlessly and stable and in my (probably subjective) opinion, it did speed up the flicking through my large app drawer list, for example.
Basic things like browsing, texting, opening e-mails etc are pretty much the same, it's barely noticable. Probably because the stock NS is so fast and smooth, the few percents of added speed you gain by overclocking aren't really noticable.
The main thing is the battery life though, it'll drain the battery significantly and so it's up to you whether or not you want to have your phone running a tad faster but not make it through the day, or have it go normal and last the day.
I would always root your phone.
Since you mention the missing backlight notification, if you flash your kernel to say, for example, Netarchy 1.3.12, you can install a small app that's called "BLN". It turns the 4 buttons into a notification light by blinking them on notifications, works perfect.
Also, many people prefer CM7 over the stock Android because of the added functionalities; one more reason to root your phone
I haven't noticed anything about the voodoo sound/display, maybe someone else can pick in here.
Greetz
Trust me in that you will love your phone more if you do. I don't notice the change in speed but voodoo control is a must. You'll be able to adjust the colours on your screen to make your phone POP!
The badass thing about rooting it is that it fixes the notification light problem. All you have to do is flash a kernel with BLN compatibility (Nearly all of them have it) and download the BLN app from the market.
Every time you get a new notification the bottom four buttons flash on and off
Also like Simms said, you also get Voodoo colors which make the screen colors much much better then stock.
I personally don't overclock because like you said the phone is already so damn fast =)

I do not overclock my CPU. I don't get any noticeable benefit from it (other than increased Quadrant scores). I tend the opposite way.... I'd rather reduce power for longer battery life, so I undervolt.
Voodoo is worth flashing a custom kernel for, in my opinion. Keep in mind you do not have to root to flash a custom kernel. You only have to unlock the bootloader with one simple command.
I know what you mean about not wanting to even root. I only rooted so I could take screenshots with Shoot Me app. But I use the stock Rom and probably always will

well, since the bootloader is unlocked, why doesn't root?! =oP
in my opinion, the bad thing in flashing things is because it is addictive, you can't stop anymore. I lived fine with stock for two months, and now i can't stay a week without flash something.
as a matter of fact, you can have voodoo sound in stock kernel, just use the pay app, and if you own a slcd version (like me), you won't need voodoo colors. So the missing and must have is BLN and that was the first reason i root this thing! =o)
and btw, for me, the device is fast enought and i really like to finish the day with my phone still alive, so i don't oc it! =o)
I have noticed that everyone seems to talk about bln but does no one like the no led app? It does well for me...just wondering because I'm new to the S but not android

what is your setup to OC to 1.4? Currently I am running the I9020A at 1200 mhz on stock 2.3.4 with netarchy kernel, latest stable version. slightly over volted. however, it still freezes when i play videos with moboplayer. I havent been able to find a stable OC @ 1.4. It will reset and freeze overnight when idle
anyone else's input is welcome

This is truth. No LED does drain the battery quite a bit if you aren't able to dismiss a notification right away. That really hurt me a few times which is why after a few weeks I switched to BLN and haven't looked back.

For my Phone i've never been able to handle 1.4 ever. I run mine at 1.3 and have no issues. Going to 1.4 makes my phone lock up. Every phone is different it seems.
For the record I'm running CM7 7.0.3 and Netarchy BFS 1.3.4.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
I was running Netarchy 1.3.0.2 BFS a few weeks ago. Without doing anything fancy, I could overclock to 1,4 using setCPU and it ran smoothly. I9023, GRI40 and CM7.
But, that kernel version doesn't support BLN so I had to upgrade and I chose the Netarchy 1.3.0.12 CFS and I have to admit (I just tested), I get lock-ups and reboots using 1,4 now.
Many people say it's device related, but I'm convinced the kernel has a lot to do with it as well. I don't know if BFS is the reason or not, it never ran stable on my device (even on stock speeds) and I'm much more satisfied with CFS's stability, but I think that's personal as well

1.4 my phone just locks up.
1.2 and 1.3 are about the same for me: random reboots several times a day, with minimal if any noticeable improvement in performance in day to day activities.

I recently tried overclocking. I found that my phone can barely handle 1.2Ghz. Forget 1.4Ghz. I tried 1.1Ghz and it seemed stable enough but I didn't see any real world benefit from it. Right now I've settled on netarchy 1.3.4 bfs and cyanogen nightlies running at stock clock 1Ghz. Phone is stable, responsive, battery life seems good and voodoo sound is great.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Trying overclocking now. Phone seems to handle even 1.4 pretty decently. Not noticing any problems. 3393 on Quadrant, nice and peppy. I don't know if the draw on batter life is really worth it. I'll probably drop back down to 1.2 max 400 min. That seems to be a sweet spot.

Hey all. I was just wondering what kind of set up everyone has and why. So I'll start I have an r800i with a stock Rom. I have the Bravia engine on it and I ran v6 supercharger (which doesn't seem to have had any effect what so ever) on 2.3.4 with doomkernel overclocked to 2Ghz untill it gets to 40c then it's taken down to 1.6ghz. I'm running this because I want as much speed and power out of my system as I can get. I want it to perform. What about you guys?
I´m running my R800i with Darkforces ICS v4 and the Doomlord ICS beta Kernel.
The Kernel is running at 1.7GHZ, my AppStorage is increased to 420MB.
The best ROM I´ve ever had!!!!
Everything´s working fine, even Face Unlock, Battery Usage (I´m a extreme Daily User for Navigation, Email and a little bit of Gaming (GTA3 with Graphical Settings))
is the best ever had (up to 2 Days without Charging!!) and WIFI HotSpots/3G.

My setup is same with all Galaxy S phones I've used:

The recent FXP115 CM9 had made great stride though, with Mass Storage mode and no slow USB transfer and no battery life issue. It's almost good enough for me to switch to permanently, just need a bit more responsiveness and bugs fix.

No it won't wipe the phone. You read through the thread and don't know what you have to do? Have you heard of the test point method of unlocking? I only ask to see if you knew what the process involved and just didn't know how to do it with omnius or had no idea what test point even was.

But hey, when you don't have wrecked hardware, the set-up mentioned above is awesome.
my Atrix was flying before i had to send it in for warranty work a few weeks back. (digitizer) Antutu scores around 7000. the rest of the benchmark tests where pretty high also. When it was returned i immediately unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. Now my scores from Antutu are 4500 at best. I am using the exact same rom (Neutrino), and kernel (Faux123) as before. I have tried other roms (cm7 nightlies) reinstalled and full fastboot wipe many times but still the same outcome. The only difference i can see is that i used an different method to unlock the bootloader and root the second time around. Do you think the some of the permission where affected differently the second time around. Am i just overlooking something?

I have heard that refurbished phones USUALLY don't perform as well as the brand new ones do. Here is my example, a refurbished Atrix I read from some users can't even sometimes boot a custom kernel when the custom kernel is around 1.45 to 1.6. For example the one kernel that the dev clemsyn. I saw a FEW mention that when they said they had a refurbished Atrix.

There is a "Boost.sh" script included with Neutrino (I believe in /system/etc) that Notorious recommends be run when you get that "not so fresh" feeling. It is a defrag tool that can be assigned to a widget and should be run every so often.
Also, you will want to see if "Nitrocharger.sh" in the same directory is running as Root at Boot. I have seen big improvements by implementing this.
Both of these scripts came with the ROM, so hopefully you have fast access to them. Good luck to you!
thanks for the info fellow xdaers,,,,,

Actually I had the opposite experience. My original phone wouldn't boot with the clemsyn kernel. My digitizer bombed and I received a refurbished unit from repairs. The new unit runs the clemsyn kernel just fine. So I guess it's just the luck of the draw...

the phone actually feels slower. more laggy when it comes to videos, games, scrolling through menus. my fps scores are all lower across the board in any benckmark. yes i know they mean nothing but when the scores are that drastically effected there is an issue i believe.

As tob said, those "so verry little script" can makes big differences sometimes
I would like to add my personal toughts, for me, the ROM actually scoring higher and higher and feel a litle bit more freshier each week past within the ROM... so my thoughts would be, the cache partition, the more longer the rom is implemented, the more score you'll get cause the cache slowly become bigger and bigger giving you full power to open something tough!
As for the battery, from my experiences, you can't really judge a battery life while you just flashed a rom, you got to wait until the first week to see if there a big changes between the other ROM you came from ... so my guess would be, those scripts and the longer the ROM is implemented on your phone, the more fast and stable it will get, and you will feel the power slowly coming out again!
My bad if I'm completely wrong, but it is my guess!
Hood luck with your "new" phone
i brought up some old Antutu scores and notice that my ram. cpu integar and floating point scores are extremely low. i have tried multiple kernels but still no change. now i am even more confused......doesn't take much. could it be that my cpu is locked so i can not overclock. it kinda feels like its only utilizing one core.
after weeks of exhaustive searching i finally found a fix that worked.

now my antutu scores are back up to around 7000. less lag in app drawer and opening /closing certain app. its back to silky smooth yeehaw.
I'm using the newest flash kernel and elementalex kernel manager. Its been happening more and more. This time its stuck at max frequency on the big cluster. Everything else I can change like normal. What is causing this? I'm about to lose my mind with this crap. Its happened in several roms too. Right now I'm on screwd android nougat.

Do you have Facebook or Facebook Messenger installed? The latter app especially has been known to cause Max frequency problems for some people.
I do have those apps. But this is when im first setting up a new rom so they are not installed yet. It is also stuck overclocked when it happens. It finally let me change it this time. I have no clue as to why it does eventually let me but not at first. It didn't used to do this on previous version of flash kernel. I also tried changing it with another kernel app and it let me, no problem. Its something about exkm.

After rebooting or flashing files, the phone runs warm which means you cannot tweak CPU functions due to thermal throttling. The phone throttles when hot (worse if you live in a warm environment) or have low battery. That's a side effect of the Snapdragon 810.
If these issues persist half an hour or more after boot, then there is an app keeping your CPUs clocked high, like mentioned before.

That cant be it. I can close exkm and open other cpu tuner app and immediately change the max frequency.

Keep it simple then. Uninstall then install EXKM from the Play Store and reboot. Open the app after two minutes then grant root access and modify kernel settings. Big cluster may still be offline due to rebooting.
Alternatively, clear data for EXKM and reboot then wait until it's been granted root permissions to modify kernel settings.

For solving your issue, use Kernel Adiutor, go into thermal on the side menu, and disable throttling. - this worked for me
Secondly, I do not recommend Screw'd, it left me well screwed.
- Home screen locking up, only being functional after rebooting
- VERY bad CPU over heating - I'm taking about 180°F - 82°C -while running social media and scrolling. And actually having to physically put the phone on ice to cool it down while I pulled files when I switched off of the ROM
- Random systemui crashes, kind of like CM all over again
I don't know if you get these issues, but I would recommend using a different ROM from my experience.
TL;DR : Screw'd causes CPU over heating and frequency troubles, also use Kernel Adiutor in thermal section to "unlock" or make it easier to tweak frequencies. Good luck!

Wow, i cant believe screwd gives you such problems. Its has been my favorite nougat rom since last months beta. My phone never overheats. Ive only felt it get warm to the touch a few times since i got it last march. As far as throttling goes, if it does i never notice so it must not be too bad.
