I don't think that anyone has developed a kernel that allows overclocking yet.
Haha not just yet, we need some kernel devs first

Yeah, I figured that's what we're waiting on, I just felt like being impatient today though. ;-)
If its like the inspire, you can get to 1.6 easily on it stable.
Hope its like the g2 then we could hit 2 ghz

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.

Alot of overclocks on previous phones used lower voltage...which gave us LONGER batt life.

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.

Definitely.
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.
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.

Hey all,
There are a good amount of choices on the marketplace now for overclocking and underclocking.
I've never had to use an app on my Nexus One running CM7.1 because it came with the ROM.
Anyone have experience with the Amaze specifically and these apps?
When I read through the comments on market, it seems like every cpu app works with varying results depending on what brand/model phone you have.
Figured I would ask XDA peeps before purchasing or even trying an app that could cause some serious issues with my amazing Amaze

We actually could overclock without source by using kernel modules, but that's not really the best way to do it. I'd rather wait for a custom kernel.

THIS is what will need to happen to truly take advantage of OC/UV.
SetCPU has been my standard for a while now.
Hey guys i'm new to overlocking, rooting and rom flashing on HTC phones. I have had motorola phones in the past,droid, droidx bionic,razr and have always rooted, overclocked and undervolted. Is there some way or app for the rezound that will let me adjust overclock speeds and voltage? I know there is setcpu but what i'm looking for is a app like milestone overclock that I used along with setcpu on my droid x?

If you want to change clocking speed or undervolt/overvolt from what the kernel Dev set the default to, yes. Otherwise you're not really taking advantage of the kernel. If a kernel is overclockable....Dev's usually leave the speed close to stock because some phones rspond differently.
System tuner pro is the best. Does everything. I use it and CPU master

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.

Did you just use the one click set up or did you manually set it up?

I did the one click but seriously look through the whole menu, There are some really cool settings!
Ya I did the one click also and have been looking through the menu. However I do not know enough about the settings to know what to change but it is impressive what you can do with the app.
I found the most cool features to be the screen density and the overclocking

Where is the overclock and what did you set them both to? This is my first android and its been locked down so not sure what the overclocking does.
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

Thanks for the tip on this app, I've been running it for 4 hours and my X2 is blazin!
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.

There is a donate version with extra features as well as a free version. I am fairly new to this app, I'm not sure it would play nice with CM7s performance settings
