Need help with set cpu - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I finally got my phone rooted. I want to download the set cpu for root. What would the ideal settings for me be? Im rooted with ryans lag fix, no custom roms or kernel. Thanks guys.

Well if you want to OC then you need a custom kernel... Other then that 200/1000 (W/O Custom Kernel) 200/1200 (W/ Custom Kernel)
And DONT click "Set On Boot"

if you don't care about the battery drain, I cranked mine up to 1000mhz constant or use conservative. powersave is incredibly slow.

Honestly Set CPU is not nessisary because the Galaxy S CPU scales automatically in other words if you need 1ghz it gives you it, but if you need 800mhz it only gives you that etc...That being said if you want to underclock the best speed it 800mhz and if you want to overclock you should go to 1200mhz (1.2ghz). To overclock you will need a custom kernel.

Why don't you want to set it on boot? Does this mean you have to reset when you boot?

Kernel Panic - Overclock too high

Hey guys, I went retarded and tried to OC my phone up to 800mhz, rebooted it and it went into emergency mode. How do I go about reseting the clock?
Follow this to revert to stock.
Next time, remember not to click "set on reboot" when you are testing overclocking frequencies for your specific rom/phone only enable that when it is stable
ROM

I think he doesn't use the same rom... He posted that last year... And overclock depends on kernel, not rom

Setcpu not letting me overclock?

I rooted my TB via the one click method offered by Captiankrtek and flashed Das Bamf 1.3.1. Then downloaded setcpu, autodetected speeds, tried disabling perflock (which it says was not needed) and then tried overclocking past 1024MHz, but alas, that is my highest setting. So I though maybe I need to flash the kernel. Went to Rom Manager and have tried every kernel under Mr. Bobrowitz's section. In the software information it clearly states the custom kernels but setCPU is still sticking to 1024. I tried uninstalling setCPU and reinstalling but nothing is working. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Unless you have a overclock kernal you won't be able to overclock. Sounds to me you have a stock kernal.

I am running the kernel that is included in the Das BAMF rom. setCPU shows the smartass setting and everything, but 1024 is as high as I can go
You do not have an overclocking kernel. You cannot overclock in this one. That is the problem. Look in development for an OC kernel.

I am a borderline retard I guess. I thought it came with his 1.2 kernel. Also, I tried to flash the 1.9 kernel via CWR last night but I see that link is gone today so maybe that was broken when I tried last night. Anywhootles, I just flashed the 1.2 Kernel by Adrynalyne and it works perfectly. Thanks for not bashing me for my stupidity.

great speeds
Bamf 1.3.1 does include his 1.2ghz oc kernel, "--New kernel: 1.2ghz, smartass (heavily tweaked this time) as default governor, GPU+ patch."

[Q] howto overclock

Maybe a dumb question but I can't find help. I hav vegan ginger rc1 and installed clemsons 1.5 overclock kernel. About info shows the right kernel. Installed setcpu and cant get it over 1000mhz.
What am I missing?
I'm using Pershoots 1.4 OC kernel and setCPU allows me to bump up to 1.4...
I was wondering exactly same thing as OP!
I'm not sure about Clemsyn's, but with pershoots you have to set the 'Device Selection' to Custom, not Tegra2.
Then you can scale it up.
When you opened SetCPU and it asked what processor you have, did you select Tegra 2? If so you need to go into the SetCPU settings and select the device again. This time scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a button for custom clocks. Choose it and you should be able to go above the 1Ghz limit.

Unless you have pershoots latest, then you wanna select "Auto" in SetCPU
im running rc1 as well. which overclock am i supposed to download? i downloaded the clemsyn1.5gingerextra and med and using setpcu app. according to setpcu, i chose the custom clock and it won't let me set it past 529MHz... but if i change the device to tegra2 i can get it back to 1GHz... did i do something wrong? TIA

Clemsyn's kernel doesn't work too well with ginger. You need to use Pershoot's. Remember, Froyo use Clemsyn's, Ginger use Pershoot's.

[Q] How to overclock stock ROM? SetCPU shows max as 600

I recently rooted my O1 using Ginger break. It rooted successfully. Now when I installed SetCPU (which I downloaded frm xda), it shows the maximum freq as 600MHz. I am on stock ROM and don't plan to change it before seeing the official Gingerbread release. I just want to know if it is possible to overclock on the stock ROM using SetCPU or any other tool.

Install a custom recovery and flash a custom kernel (such as franco). Do not ask how, covered in multiple places.
AFAIK the stock rom doesn't allow for overclocking.

As already said above in my post (and also in my signature), overclocking is a matter of kernel and not of ROM.

Overclock stock cm7 kernel

What does it take to overclock the normal cm7 kernel? The newest nightly kernel is by far the best kernel i have used and it overclocked would make it perfect. Any help is appreciated.
You can't overclock those kernels. Only goes up to 1 ghz. You need fauxs kernels to overclock past 1 ghz.

they were asking how to overclock... an answer saying 'you can't overclock' and then telling them how to overclock might be a little confusing.
@pfoxdizzle download the 1.3 kernel and place it in your internal as you did for CM7 and then install zip and reboot. You should then be overclocked. I have looked around and this is the only link I can find for you

You might also find it helpful to install a CPU app (free) so you can adjust overclock. Hope this helps.

I believe I said you can't overclock those kernels (stock kernel because that's what he wanted to OC) And then told him to use fauxs kernel. You just repeated what I said, but if it makes you sleep at night, fine.
