Over/Underclocking (setcpu) Explained by Gizmodo

[bluger]

Gizmodo is almost prescient in their timing of posting this piece on setcpu. As I learn more and start to fill in the blanks of my knowledge, I'm gathering details from different places. Giz always does a good job of making tech available to those of use who don't have programmer cred.

Nice review of the app, but they didn't do much else... unless i missed a link in there.

This is a much better write up.

it has been recommended to add a profile for charging your phone too. ie if it's on an AC charger and fully charged then the phone doesn't run at 100% so it doesn't get too hot.

1) What does it say about me that I reached up to touch the high-five on my screen?
2) Do most Roms/Kernels that boast battery performance with under/overclocking accomplish all of this without setCPU?

hmmm, they often use other applications of features built into the rom. This is good because you know it works and you dont have to fiddle with it. But its bad because you cant fiddle with it if you need to.

Back on topic (I wouldn't want anybody else leaving the forums because of our shenanigans), just follow the above tutorial and you will be all set. Battery life is awesome with the AC ROM and these profiles in setCPU. Any kernel that allows this should have these built in automatically, IMHO, because they are just awesome.
