anybody able to achieve overclock with x2 on rooted gb yet? or know a working overclocking app. let me know thanks guys!
No and I doubt we will tell we have kernel access

+1. You really got my hopes up reading that...
I realized overclocking would be a massive achievement for the X2... But is it even really necessary at this time? We are running 1ghz, dual core, tegra2 chips.
What app or game out there right now we cant already run smooth as butter?
Why is it wanted so bad right now is what I'm asking i guess. When i over clocked my d1 to 1.1ghz It didn't seem like a nearly 50% increase in performance even though i nearly doubled the clock speeds. Sure my quadrant went up but real world applications meh.

Ya, I Can't Wait To Watch My Phone Meltdown!
Even if we ever get overclocking most people probably wont do it, we just want to have the ability too, if anything i just want a tweak a few things
The biggest problem is that we need a kernel that supports overclocking. With a STILL locked bootloader, we can't do that yet. So no unleashing the beast just yet.

Well the night thing being that if we can over clock, that meeans that we can underclock and undervolt, which will hell battery life tremendously. Now, with that being said, I do hand to admit that Gingerbread has been funaminal with battery life!! Even with wifi on.

Can start once HTC releases the source packages which might be next week - could be a month - but we're at their mercy.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what overclock speeds we can get out of this.
I find it funny that we all want overclock for it tho. What can't we do with our phones right now that a 2ghz overclock will fix? ...I think I just like knowing its there.

Smartass scaling and undervolt go a long way for improved battery life.
Can any developer explain how it is possible to make a CPU faster and more effecient on battery, and why don't the manufacturers just do this before they sell it?
I understand the basics of how kernels work, but I wouldn't think you could safely double the speed of a processor while keeping it undervolted (coming from the d1)
Do they purposely underclock the kernel and used the same processors in "new" "faster" phones?

Very true. The Thunderbolt is my tenth Android phone since November 09, and in every single case, scaling and undervolting have made worlds of difference in battery life as well as speed. I'm sure that things won't be any different on the Thunderbolt. Of course, the other thing that makes a huge difference is not playing with it for hours on end. New toys always drain batteries pretty fast.

Part if it is what the industry calls "yield", that is just because they produce 10,000 1.5ghz cpu's in a batch, doesn't mean all 10,000 can run at 1.5ghz safely and stable, so manufacturers have to go with the fastest common speed In order to not waste those processesors that can't handle the full speed. Its the same thing with computers and videocards.

I have noticed so far that running SetCPU for just the scaling now is helping with my battery life, so that's at least a bit of awesome.
What's up everyone?
Just wanting to see if people have been able to overclock past 1.8 successfully. And by that I mean no lag, reboots, and runs faster then 1.2 lol. I remember with the OG Evo that 1.19 was more or less the most you could get out of the phone. I can get to 1.8 on most overclocking kernels, just wondered if anyone got higher. I personally use net's kernel, silverneedle, and I must say it's rather nice.
And no, this isn't supposed to be an overclocking vs. not overclocking type of thread (sorry trolls :]). People are going to overclock because it's fun.

Are you running a stock rooted/locked setup? Or are you running a custom rom/unlocked/overclocked setup? Cause I'm usually around 4500 to 4900.

You loose all blur stuff. If you ran or have used cm7 before, you'll want it again and again. It's snappy and smooth. My stock blur would fc on me but my photon w cm7 has not fc once yet.
For charge times, I was at 27% (after 3 days run time) and I got to 95% in less then an hour and a half.
This week I may flash the beta kernel for cm7 and retest but depends on work schedule. Still trying to get a good calculation of cm7 and battery run time. So far amazing!
Little better after flashing jokers v3 kernel for CM7. loving CM! I think my phone can go faster then I can type with my ugly thumbs.

Check out "Motomizer" in google play. Trust me on this one.
P.S. I don't know how it's doing it but it's allowing me to overclock and settings remain even after reboot. That's just one of the many goodies.

I found the most cool features to be the screen density and the overclocking

set CPU policy, it speeds up your phone basically. Change the minimum.

Not really overclocking though....we can't due to the bootloader...changing the minimum clock speed just will not let your processor idle at 216, which is the stock minimum I believe, when the min is changed that would be your minimum idle speed....so whatch for higher battery drains when set higher

ehhhh.... I'm skeptical (guess that's my specialty on these forums ), but I'll try it for myself.
If we have a kernel locked down tight, I don't know why this app would allow us to get around that, but I'll have to see.
Free or paid? What does it set and does that interfere with CM7's built in optimizations? What happens when you remove the one click, does it remove anything that was in CM7 or there before, that it overwrote? Anyone test to see if this effects Bluetooth? I too am skeptical. Someone with more knowledge pull some logcats and see what this does.

Are you on a custom Rom or kernel? I'm still on stock but rooted and am not doing anything special (i.e. not killing any apps before running the benchmark). My score is typically between 19,500 - 20,500. 18,700 is fine though, maybe you have an app that is running on the background slowing things down a bit.
