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?
incredicontrol
incredicontrol says its for "single core" htc devices only. Anything else?
CPU master from antutu is pretty worth it

Download the beta in the development section.
Or go to incredikernel.com and get incredicontrol beta 3

Does one need this even with a custom kernel such as ziggy's or dsb?

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

If I overclock using webOS, will it also be useful with the alpha2?
The only useful purpose it does is tell you how fast you can go.
Your webOS and CM7 are completely different kernels on different partitions. You'd have to OC each one separately.

Thank you for the quick reply and of course there is no way to overclock the HP on CM7 as of yet, correct?

you can OC your CM7, but only in CM7 (webOS and CM7 have nothing to do with each other). use setcpu or an app like that to OC
Setcpu is a paid app, but works great.

i concur, with it, my battery life has almost doubled!
MAX: 1512
MIN: 384
ondemandtcl
set on boot
To OC in CM7, we don't need to flash a different kernel?
nope, stock is the only one available anyway (for now)
I've just downloaded CPU Master Free which seems to do the job.
Having said that, I haven't noticed much difference at 1.5 - but then, I haven't stressed it yet.

I installed CPU Master Free on my wife's TP and every time I rebooted it went back to stock speed.
I use setcpu with governor set to performance and max set to 1.78 ghz min set to 384 ghz and got a quadrant score this morning of 3561. I backed down after that to 1.5 max/ 384 min with conservative governor. Here is the quad score screenshot:

Wonder how fast we should go?
Performance in CM settings will do the OC for you.
Ooops, no it won't.
Apologies!
Is 384mhz the lowest we can go in Android, or is it because any lower performance would be affected? I know in Govnah the lowest is like 192mhz, and haven't noticed a difference between that and the next number up 384mhz.
Fyi.....
Setcpu is free for xda members. U just have to search for it. The dev has a thread on xda with the apk. If u can't find it pm me

Hey all,
I've been using CPU Master on my Rezound since I rooted it. But I used to use SetCPU on my Dinc. My question is, which do you prefer? I have the free version of CPU Master and paid for SetCPU.

I paid for setcpu too but I was having issues so i tried cpu master before buying it. least try cpu master and if it setcpu is better then get your refund

Under/overvolting and io scheduler selection is really the only things it offers in the paid version. I've used setcpu on my og droid and on my incredible, but I bought CPU master when I got my rezound and I actually prefer it over setcpu. One thing I like is that the profiles are already set up for you, all you have to do is enable or disable them.
I've had really good luck with CPU tuner
Free and has a lot of features.
Under 8 posts for me so I can't post the stupid link... Just search for it in the market and check out the reviews.
If I wanted to undervolt, how far under should I go? My kernels have always handled voltage for me lol

this varies from person to person. needs to be scaled right while you're finding the sweet spot. I do -25 for each frequency. run it for awhile to see if you get a random reboot or lag and just reverse what you did. I did -25 for each until I have time to drop them further

Thanks very helpful. Seeing how well the undervolting goes before I make my final decision
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Depends upon the kernel. I found SetCPU worked better with stock and Ziggy's kernel. With dsb's smartass v.2 kernel, I find CPU Master works better.
Yeah I know that each phone individually responds differently to cpu/voltage changes. The dinc i had before this would take any frequency and kernel would throw at it. However underclocking/volting on my Rezound almost always ends in fc's
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I use SetCPU mostly if I can... Provides more information than CPU master pro, I have both... The only thing that CPU master pro does that SetCPU doesn't is change voltages, in a crappy way though. I don't go through every clock to change them, that takes way too long. Instead I use incredicontrol to change them all simultaneously... I've never had problems with one over the other. They have both worked for me on all the kernels for this phone.
setcpu
I'm using Ineffabilis v1.0 with Ziggy's kernel. SetCPU has worked for me with no issues. I haven't tried CPU Master but I guess I haven't had the need to cuz SetCPU is working for me. I just don't completely get the whole undervolting. I understand the concept but don't know how to apply it with SetCPU, if that's even possible.

I haven't tried to play around with voltages on the rezound, but on my tbolt I could drop voltages 100 each and be fine, but couldn't run at 1.8 no matter what I tried.

You can't change voltage with SetCPU. CPU Master can. Correct me if I'm wrong but kernels can also effect voltage. Amirite?

SetCPU, System Tuner etc. You need to have a custom kernel in order to change cpu speeds. If you're not sure whether you have a custom one or not, try installing one of those apps and if you're able to change cpu settings, you're on a custom kernel. congratulations
thanks man...i am on a custom. I just want to know if im running at 1.5ghz like im supposed to, or does it not run at that all the time?

That depends on which governor you choose. I'm going to go ahead and guess you're on an Anthrax kernel. Each governor behaves differently, but only the performance governor locks your phone to the max speed you selected. I'd recommend intellianthrax or interactive, I personally use intellianthrax or lagfree. Lagfree is a really good one IF you don't overclock, but since you want to run at 1.5 ghz, I'd stay away from lagfree. If you use lagfree, your phone will rarely ever drop the clock speed down below 1 ghz when it doesn't need it.

Yes you are overclocked. 1.18 GHz is the stock CPU speed for our phones, so any number over 1.18 for the max frequency is overclocked

You are always using a governor, even if you don't have an app for it. The governor tells the phone how to use your CPU, basically. See where it says "ondemand" in that screenshot you posted? Well, ondemand is the governor you're using. If you click ondemand, there should be a drop down menu that opens up that gives you all the governor options available for the kernel you're using
thanks man

I like to use the virtuous overclock deamon, it is said to work better. But most roms have not implement it here.
tammyjustin, I assume you're using MeanROM since 486MHz-1512MHz / Ondemand governor are the default settings built into that ROM. I just started playing around with Anthrax kernels and MeanROM a few days ago.
A word of advice if you're going to be playing with overclocking... You need to be aware that you shouldn't use any overclocking tools like SetCPU with MeanROM unless you modify a system file first to disable the built-in clocking and voltage controls, or you can use only the built-in controls. I was getting strange instability with MeanROM before I realized what was going on with the internal clock management and SetCPU (which I have always used). Basically SetCPU and the internal clock controls in the ROM were both trying to manage the clockspeed and it was causing stability problems. Now I'm using only the internal settings and it is far more stable.
MeanRom ICS 2.4
Hey. I have been using meanRom for a while now, and the newest version (MeanROM ICS v2.4) is eating my battery too quickly. I was wondering if there was a way to disable dual cores all the time or reduce the processor speed to try and save some battery. I have never attempted to change max speed or change the number of cores being used before so i really don't know where to start.
I saw in inbREDed 5.2.5 they have a "Core control in quicksettings, change to dual/single core on the fly". Is that available to use in MeanROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that is correct. but I text a lot and don't need dual core while sending texts. I have to charge my phone twice a day right now. =\
I was hoping I could on the fly turn on / off dual cores or change the CPU speed.
With previous versions of MeanROM I only had to charge my phone at night. I have thought about down grading, but it's pretty stable right now, i just want better battery life. So that is why I wanted to change the CPU settings.

Mikey did say something about his next version (which will be based on the Sprint OTA when it finally arrives) will dial back performance a little to extend battery life. Maybe this is what he has in mind.
Here's my 2 cents.... Overclocking is great for speed but it cripples battery life. I used to be obsessed with OC and quadrants, but then I realized I can't tell a difference from 1.2 GHz to 1.8 GHz. OC can also make your phone unstable. Honestly you probably wouldn't need to over clock if you don't know much about it. So I wouldnt spend too much time worrying about it
Do what you want though cause that's just my opinion

On Rootzwiki you can find the boostedass 2 Governor.
He asked for Overclocking in OP, so I just posted some Tweaks I've already played with. I liked the Eternity Hotplug.

Yes it's made for 1-1,2GHz, but you need a custom kernel. The thing I would like to see more than overclocking are some more governors and schedulers.
The overclocking will gets more power from the battery or ?
[sorry for my bad english, I hope someone understand me ]
we need someone to create a custom kernel for our phone. without custom kernel, we cant overclock our phone.
but i dont see any reason yet to overclock, the current frequency are fast enough for me even for gaming. unless you have a very slow phone, 1ghz single core processor and below it would be good.
i used to overclock a lot on my single core processor phone from 1ghz to 1.2-1.8ghz frequency. of course the higher frequency you're on the more risk you are gonna damage the cpu of your phone and battery because of overheat. from 1ghz, overclocking to 1.2-1.4ghz is safe.
underclocking would be a smart idea though to save battery.
the main reason custom kernel are needed for me are to use some governors and schedulers to save battery or performance.
Thanks guys! Oh, and could someone explain or post a link to a guide on overclocking?
