Yea I set it to one demand with high minimum and max maximum and I can already feel that my keyboard registers faster

It was on on demand the whole time so I should be fine with on demand in and high minimum and high maximum

try setting the minimum back to default mate and see if its still as fast... just dont want you wasting battery for nothing.
try Quadrant test at each setting too with ram cleared each time to keep it fair

I did and my keyboard felt slower, lol, now it feels super fast

I think this is the best setting to have, because it's on demand it should only run this fast then my screen is on

MyBackup will do batch.. Titanium is more in depth to where you have access to system files as well as application files. I like to use a combo of both apps. I use Titanium for backing up applications and freezing unwanted stuff.. and I use MyBackup for backing up/restoring call logs, sms, mms, bookmarks, alarms, etc. Both of these apps are very useful when you are flashing ROMs because you will need to wipe the phone out. So having these two apps makes setting the phone back up with all your stuff a lot faster. Having a rooted phone also gives you the ability to backup/restore not only apps... but app data as well.

You do not want to accept an OTA with a rooted device... worse case scenario, you soft brick your phone which could happen if there is unfamiliar files on the phone. What happens is the OTA tries to install, detects that something is different, doesn't know how to handle it and freezes.. the good news is that soft bricks are fixable. This scenario usually happens if you've rooted the phone and changed/altered a system file.
That's the worst case scenario... Most of the time all that will happen is if you accept an OTA, it will just cause you to lose root access.. In which you can usually just re-root the phone afterwards. So while it's not that serious, it's just safer to not chance it just in case the worst does happen.
What you'll want to do is.. 1)unroot the phone, install the OTA, re-root the phone (a pain in the ***) or 2)Devs will put out a version of the OTA that's safe to flash to a rooted device.

Benefits of a rooted phone:
*You can make a complete backup/copy of the phone (ROM/OS/Data) which is called a Nandroid backup. It's similar to creating a restore point in Windows in which you can always revert back to a previous state.

*You can back up/restore app data using apps like Titanium Backup.. never worry about losing progress made in a game, app settings, info, etc

*You have access to the entire registry/every single system file of the phone... freeze/delete unwanted bloat, apps, files.

*You can install custom ROMs.. complete customization of anything on the phone... added features, change looks, etc..

*Install custom Kernels.. boosts performance, ability to overclock/underclock the CPU, ability to undervolt which gives better battery life (combined with the other kernel tweaks).

*Receive leaks of OTA's weeks/months before the carriers release anything.

*You get free wifi tethering.. Turn your phone into a mobile hotspot for free (make sure you have an unlimited data plan

)

There's a slew of benefits to having a rooted device.. I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff, if I remember I'll add it to the list.

For the kernel.. Try not to go too high, those high numbers are more for show then they are everyday use. I haven't overclocked this phone yet so I'm not sure what the limit is, the highest I have seen is 1900 which the phone should have no problem handling since default is 1500.. Just keep in mind that with that boost in performance will come decrease in battery life. I would keep the min around the lowest setting.... there is a theory that keeping the min around 700-800 helps because the CPU is not jumping back and forth from a low to a high.. but I feel it's better overall keeping the min as low as possible (around 200-300).
Two good governors are interactive and ondemand. Ondemand is usually set as default by most Devs.
Ondemand is exactly as the name implies.. The CPU uses the power as needed.. it's also a little better on the battery.
Interactive is a combo of a boost in performance while still remaining decent battery life.

Yea, lol, thanks for the help I'm really loving the speed of my phone now

The rom has a few bugs with setting wallpapers and a few other things so ill probably re rom in a week or so, but I'm loving it

just wondering why he cant seem to overclock on cm10 Cyber mate

**Cyber Warrior** · 10-10-2012, 04:40 PM

It depends on the kernel.. I haven't flashed CM on this phone yet.. Let me take a look at their thread.

Wow you guys have a lot of ROMs available for the international version.. I went through 6 pages on XDA and can't even find the thread.. I'm just seeing ROMs based off of CM10.

Do you have a link to the thread where you downloaded it from?

**Skunkape60** · 10-10-2012, 06:21 PM

He will have to run the cm kernel in the original Android development thread to overclock. There is only one overclockable kernel for the CM ROMs and two overclockable for the tw ROMs. This is for the Sprint versions... The directions on the thread state to do the following AFTER flashing.
Wipe Cache, wipe dalvik and fix permissions.

All you had to do was ask....

up to you if you think its worth it mate but surely youre noticing a battery drop by having the minimum set higher than default?

Nope, it seems like the battery is fine to me

Even left it on with mobile data on for the past 6 hours with like 50% brightness and only lost 1% overnight

Phone came off twice within last half an hour and rebooted itself once, the other time I had to pop out the battery

Should I just go ahead and re rom the newest update or just try and go back to the stable version from September?
