SETCPU question

[Brett]

so i have finally rooted my phone as it seems like everybody else and there mother has too with SMU. I have been using the setcpu app to overclock but i dont know what to set the settings to in order to get the best performance while not killing my battery and over heating the phone. I have also seen people say they are going at 900 and 950 mhz but when i have tried to manually set it, it only goes to 800 and the next one up is 1000. If anybody could let me know what the best setting are and how i would go about setting it correctly i would really appreciate it. Even at 800 i see a difference but there are times where it boggs down a bit. I just want the kind of experience with my Droid being overclocked like the people i hear saying that it is amazing and that are not experiencing any types of hiccups and not killing the battery faster than normal. thanks

oh and P.S. i dont know if i posted this in the right forum because A) it is an app but B) you can only access this while rooted. If this is in the wrong forum i do apologize.

You can use different kernels to overclock to 900 and such. They are found at this link.

AllDroid - View topic - Droid is stable at 800MHz. Nuff said *950MHz, 1.1GHz added*

wow i hate that when i look at that i become so lost haha. i have never done anything that involved coding or SU with my droid and its like "uhmmmmmm, what do i do?". the only reason i did the SMU was because it basically ran itself.

is that the only way to get the different settings?

I did the Sholes mod and am using the set cpu but when I try to overclock it says the max is 550mhz.....and I told it to autodetect. No idea what Im doing wrong. any help?

I suggest using these they remove the 125 clock speed

Don't use with the sholes rom

agreed. i used the sholesmod to root my phone, but then i flashed the bugless beast rom. the latest version has 800, 950, and 1000mhz overclocks built in.

Try opening setcpu again, hitting menu, device selection, and then choose auto detect again. Maybe it just didn't like it the first time you did it. I had to due it twice to get all my options.

How do you know if the CPU is working?

 

[droidweasel]

u have to go in and set ur profiles. That'll change it.

 

[droidweasel]

Also long press on homes screen and add it as a widget.

IS it true I shouldn't use Shole 2.03 with SetCPU??

 

[Brett]

ok so bugless beast has the higher over clock setting built in. if I was to go from sholes to bugless how would I go about it. do I have to unroot then root again the install the rom?

 

[Jared DiPane]

No you dont have to unroot, you have to flash the rom.
