What is the best overclock app for a rooted Eris running Froyo 2.2?
What is the best min/max setting too for performance?
I use SetCPU. It really depends on what you want.
I want the best performance possible, without overheating my phone
No matter what you're going to heat up when overclocking. If you use setcpu don't use the widget.
What's the safest maximum performance setting then?
What about overclock widget app (free)? I'm using that now. It seems ok, not sure though compared to setcpu.

that widget app sucks. it's nothing compared to setcpu. I run 768max 19 min, and I have a full day of battery life, using it fairly regularly every day. I rarely have lag, and it's fast too.
using kayosfroyo btw.
Every processor is different. Some people get get to 844mhz, some people can't push past 710mhz. You need to find what's right for you.
I personally get up to 787mhz.
I run 806 all day no problem. But faster is a reboot. All phones seem to be different on their safe max w/o crash. I use setcpu myself. It's free on this fourm for members.

Yes, SetCPU is best. I can clock mine to about 806 and I get about 48 hours of battery... every phone is not the same, remember that!
using setcpu here as well. 825mhz no issues
Im using set cpu as well at 768 max and 245 min. Make sure u dont have set on boot if ur going to test the limit of ur phone, I did and was able to go 806 and past rat my phone locks up and on every reboot the same so I had to uninstall in using command prmpt from pc

Read this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761940 and it will give you a little understanding on setting up for performence and setting up for performence With Higher battery life. This is the place i liked the best only because i needed increse speed with out loosing to much battery power due to not being in a place to set phone on the charger like i work 9 hours a day and i like to listen to music and fiddle on my phone on breaks.. Plus honestly my phone does not seem to be performing any slower than it was with a high performence setup i used to be 480 min with a 787 max, and somtimes higher but 245 min with 748 or 19 min with 748 i still have not noticed anything being slower than when i had it set at 480 min 787 max..
But i cant stress enough that dont have it set on boot when u are trying to find ur phones limits because if u do have it set and find ur phones limits u will have to adb that crap to uninstall it. find the settings u want for your phone before you set on boot
Edit: And i have also been seing people post that after testing they have not found there Eris being any faster than 710 just that higher decreses there battery life. Which is Maybe why kaosfroyo has it alrdy clocked at 710 but i dont know, you cant quote me on that.. I hope i was of some help
Hey TB Users....
Was wondering who is rooted and using set CPU?
Also what profile set ups is everyone using and what are the outomes you are seeing.
Another thing i noticed is that the TB is auto set to 1024000 CPU instead of 998000. not sure if that is normal, but hey just my 2 cents.....
Anyway lets hear what everyone is set to

i think you have to wait for the source code for the kernal to be released and tinkered with to get anything useful from all that...but who knows
Yup. About all you can use it for right now is throttling (which isn't bad... the CPU is plenty fast already). It'll help save battery, at least.

Agreed. That's all I use it for now.
I have it set to the following:
Screen off = 245 max
Charging = 1024 max
Battery < 10% = 245 max
Battery less than 25% = 768 max
All other istances = 1024 max
It will do for now until we get custom kernels.

I always set the screen off on my evo 4g to 245 max, and will probably do the same here. Kinda waiting for kernal source code to be released so I can use the smartass governor. I always liked that one.

I downloaded Quadrant immediately after rooting w/o installing SetCPU & first run pulled off a 1926...second run a 2000 flat! So I installed SetCPU & set it to performance & the most I got was mid 1800's which is what I was pulling off before I rooted.
I remember on my droid playing around with the up threshold & it would speed things up & so I did but still stayed at consistent 1800's. Uninstalled & I'm running 1900's consistent, only hit 2000 once lol.
I cannot wait to tinker once HTC releases the kernel source!

quadrant scores don't mean everything. If you installed SetCPU and noticed a speed decrease then there would be a reason to not want it, but just because you get a lower score in quadrant?
*EDIT* just thought I'd say, I just ran Quadrant with SetCPU on performance, and got a 1978 score. So I DK what you are talking about.
HTC really needs to release the source code. To my understanding it should be out sooner than later? I sure hope so...

Ok I'm not an idiot, I know quadrant scores don't mean anything but some people use it as a gauge to get an idea on how their phone is. (If u feel it does nothing for you then don't use it if u don't want to no one asked you to)
If you know anything about phones you know certain people's will vary in speeds, I'm just posting my experience...this IS afterall a "Post Your SetCPU Settings' thread, so don't be getting all uppity.

no and their shouldn't be, unless you down the road, since you couldn't do it now, use one of the governors like Conservative which tend to really slow the phone down. On my Evo 4G it used to take a good 30 seconds to unlock the screen is I used that with screen off at 245Mhz.
1570 for me on stock rom.
I got 2000+ quadrants on stock ROM. SA for setCPU, I can't get my CPU to clock down by force with any app. I think the kernel source is going to be needed. Probably have perflock on like they did on my inc. Let me know if setCPU works please.
SetCPU works, you just have to hit the menu button and click "disable perflock"
1376 on VirusRom but it is soooo snapppy
Seems to be working for me. 39% battery after 12+ hours. Just with the "screen off: max245" setting.

I have got that high myself without problems. Can't remember for sure, but I think at 65C phone will shutdown to protect CPU.

edgar's OC kernel worked wonders to dimish my Atri's temps, which was hovering aroudn the 60's, and now doest go over 45.
So having a over clocked kernel actually helped in reducing temps?

also, I'm not so much concerned about damanging the phone itself, it just gets very uncomfortable to hold at that temperature haha

Undervolting and profiles.
I have tried a crap ton of different undervolting setting, but none work
Also the profiles in set cpu don't seem to work for me. I have a few of them set and it always sits on the top one I need some guidence with both please!
Another thing my xda premium app isn't pushing my notafications yes its set
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Undervolting is a delicate process. It takes time to find the max undervolt that is stable. With that being said, try undervolting everything by the lowest amount which is -25mv. Check to see if that is stable. If so proceed to go further. Remember lower freq will typically undervolt farther than higher frequencies.
As far as profiles go your probably not using the priority values right. The higher priority is what determines which profile setcpu uses. So for instance if you want a safeguard against overheating, you could set the profile for when the cpu goes above 55C to throttle the processor way down. If you set this profile to 100(max) it will overide all other profiles at 98, 99, 75, 50...etc. Also this may be obvious to some but be sure to tick(enable) the profiles button. If thats not ticked then it doesnt matter how many profiles you have set up. It simply wont use them.

Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Glad your getting some results. If it restarts even once it means at least one of your undervolted freq isn't stable. With your settings I would wager its in the uper freq considering your undervolt in the lower freq isn't too extreme. You might try decreasing the undervolt for your upper freq to -50 -50 -50 starting at the top. Might help to stabilize bc higher freq just require more voltage. If that proves to be stable continue trying to reduce the lower freq as much as possible. Mainly bc if you set your profiles right(screen off is the most important really) your phone will spend the majority of its time on the 200mhz freq. Thus the more undervolt on that freq should theoretically give the most benefit from undervolting. This is just all from personal experience. I'm no guru. Just spent way too much time adjusting voltages on phones . And of course having the upper freq undervolted as much as possible cant hurt either.

First off, regarding SetCpu and over / undercloking, dev has said it'll only underclock/overclock ONE core at a time. It's a bug and he's working on it from what I understand. If both cores are needed to be in use at the same time, no over / underclocking will be applied. Secondly, profiles work as they should in SetCpu, so that's a problem on your end. Third, the undervolting can't be more than 100mv differnce between jumps. See screen shot.

Yea Im skeptical about not setcpu not having support for dual cores... Did some searching on the net and couldnt find anything to support that. As far as not the tegra 2 not being able to do over 100mv jumps. That's not true. My lowest frequency is 600mv (-150) and my next frequency is at 750mv. That's a 150mv difference right there... And I'm completely stable. Its entirely dependent on your processor. They are all different and respond differently to undervolting. You just have to find what works for you. Generally though the lesser the jumps in voltage will give you more stability.
a good kernal helps too im useing faux123 v2.0 0C1.3 its undervolts quite well
us/alienv4UL/OC1.3{webtop2sd{fixed}
I installed the webtop over hdmi mod on my Atrix and while testing it out, it got very warm in my hand. I opened the setcpu app and noticed that while overclocked to 1.3GHz, the CPU was running at 75C! I lowered it back down to the stock 1GHz and the temp slowly went down and settled at 63C.
It seems that while in webtop mode, the CPU is taxed at 100% all the time so I'm wondering if it's safe to stay overclocked when using webtop.
Everyone has different opinions of what is too hot around here.
IMO the cooler the better. IMI No Atrix should have a temp above 60c and I'm not even comfortable with above 50c either...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I have experienced the same problem and worried that something may fry.... I have had mine overclocked at 1.45 using debian linux and all of a suddent he phone freezes and restarts.... Since it did it to me the second time I have kept my phone at 1Ghz... I am new at this so please don't beat me up too bad for being a noob... Just want to see if maybe undervolting it a little might help or hurt it?
Thanks in advance
Here are some tips I can offer
1.Try re-flashing your custom kernel and see if that fixes the web-top thing and over heating
Whenever the phone is plugged to the web-top it will naturally overheat so it's kinda expected remember now it's gotta work harder since its displaying on lap-dock or TV,but if you can cook an egg on it it might be too hot...lol
2.Set profile for temperature on setcpu so this way once you reach for example 100F your phone will clock down a little and so it might help the heat issue.You can set even more than one temp profile so this way when it reaches 96 it goes down a little then when it reaches 100 it will clock down a little more and such.
3.If that doesn't help,which in my situation it did.Flash a different kernel mayb it's just the one you're using that is causing funny stuff to happen.
Edit: not sure but i think undervolting helps battery but causes more heat,I myself don't undervolt I just created litterally a bunch of setcpu profiles for battery level,screen off,incall,charging,temp,and time and I'm getting 13 hour days at 1.3Ghz and temp profiles have been helping by clocking down when it's too hot therefore saving battery and drastic overheating.I dontlike my phone going anything over 104F it gets me paranoid,but that's just me.
I tried reflashing the kernel but it didn't change anything. I'm using Faux's 1.3GHz overclock kernel for Gingerbread (2.6.32.9). Is there something else I should be using?

Do what sktrix said in rest of his post.
I use the stopgap 1.0GHz kernel, and UV does lower temperatures. I would definitely try UV'ing a wee bit. You don't need to go crazy. I am using the following with great results for both temp and battery life:
-50
-50
-75
-75
-75
-100
-100
My setcpu profile clocks it back if I reach 60C, (I idle in the low to mid 30's). Under heavy load I reach around 52C max which is quite acceptable.
Now, granted I am not using Webtop, but the end result for UV should be the same. Lower temps and better battery life. You may also want to try just using 1.0GHz when on Webtop. The phone has more than enough power at this clock speed.
There is a bug with faux's kernel that causes the webtop to clock the phone at max speeds until restart.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I know I'm straying from my correct forums here, however I have an LG Optimus 2X which like the Atrix, is a Tegra 2 CPU.
Our phones get VERY hot, I have had my CPU up to 86C before I decided to back off the stress test. CPUs are very good at handling high temperatures, and IMO you will see no ill effects from doing so, I am unsure of whether or not the Tegra 2 has thermal throttling/shut down, but in my experience they should be fine to around 80C.
The only issue I can forsee is the battery, batteries HATE high temperatures and it is awful for their life span, this is why your laptop batteries turn to crap after 1-2 years, even if low charge cycles, because they are always hot.
I would not be concerned about anything in the 70C realm, at all.

Experienced this countless times. More with the latest 1.45Ghz, but it did happen on the previous release. When I dopped the mhz with setcpu, it wont scale but stay at max cpu. It even did it a few times without using the webtop.

It will still hang at 1.3ghz, though it's a known bug. I just stick with the 1.0 enhanced, there's no noticeable real-world difference from going over 1.0ghz anyway, it's just a benchmark gimmick. Right now, the software that's out there is optimized to run on existing hardware w/o overclocks. I've run Shadowgun at 1.45ghz and didn't see any difference over the 1.0 enhanced.
Now, if we were trying to run games that were coded specifically or faster-paced chipsets then we'd need overclocking to catch up much like you would in the PC arena. That, however, is not happening in the cell phone market just yet.

You will see a lot more optimization than just upping the clock speed. One of the reasons the 1.0GHz kernel works much better than the stock kernel. Also, the ability to undervolt saving battery life.
IMO there is no need for 1.3GHz or 1.45GHz in everyday use of a phone. The only benefit is for OC'ing bragging rights. Until we can control phone temperatures better, it's pointless to risk the substantial heat increase on ALL internal components for extended periods of time which results from much increased CPU temperatures.

I see... guess that explains why the phone doesn't really feel any faster when it's overclocked. I'll flash the 1GHz kernel then.
Thanks for the info.
Not sure if this is the same with phones but normally a CPU should stay at 40C idle and 50C load. Maximum would be 60C while benching or something.
If it goes above that I would definitely underclock/undervolt.
