I flashed the cm7 1.4 240-325-300 Kernel.
In my settings what should I keep my min and max at for all time usage?
I max them and my quad score is like 5501
don't know if your supposed to keep those certain.
Also does decrease or increase battery life.
I left mine at the default values. Was wondering this myself though. How do you test quad scores?

You want the lowest value to be at the lowest(216 i think) because this allows the processor to idle at that low speed, if you keep the minimum speed at 1ghz your processor will ALWAYS be running 1ghz at the lowest, and that will be an obvious way to kill your battery in no time. So set that to the lowest, and for the maximum i personally run mine at 750 for CM9, think i had it at 800 for CM7 but cannot remember for sure. This is limiting how fast the processor can run so the lower the better as far as battery goes. It comes down to you personally, if you game and do processor heavy tasks often then having the processor underclocked like i run mine will affect your gaming/app/overall experience. Its always like 2 clicks away to bump it up to a higher speed and i have a link on my home screen so if i do decide to do anything processor heavy i can bump it up quickly. But in general it takes more power for your processor to run higher so if your really concerned about battery life try bringing it down. I can still score a solid 1,500+(with a bunch of crap installed on my Photon mind you) on CM9 with my max at 750 and min and 216. Benchmarks are honestly just a number, it comes down to how if performs for you and what you are doing with your phone.
Awesome, I'm lowering it now and battery is dropping slow so its good, thanks for the detailed reply.

First, you crack the bootloader.
When you've done that, I'm guessing you allready figured out how to OC the CPU

For now just use the overclock widget. set top two settings as high as you want up to 998 click on off screen frequency. set between 246 and next number you choose. set at boot save. define settings at what mhz you like and experiment. do not run on screen and off screen freq at max. i have had my battery sweating and even plugged in all day and not gained a single % of charge. until boot loader is cracked.... this is all you can do.

Although it's impossible today because of bootloader, note it's always dangerous and not great to overclock embedded cpus.
You can't overclock a lot, as you have a battery (X10 works about 5-10 hours with full speed - 998MHz), and the CPU only has passive elements to cool. Overclock can damage your CPU and your motherboard, stress all elements and low your battery life (battery charge and cycle of charge). (Even there's a self shutdown when too hot)
You can get an idea of overclock on Nexus forum, as we have the same CPU (Snapdragon 8250) - I saw overclock up to 1300 MHz, but it's really not looking safe to me
Thanx everyone..

Depends also on the voltage (as long as your voltage isn't increasing as you overclock, it isn't really that harmful as long as you watch the heat), and what you have your underclock speed set to with screen off (as this can in some sense reverse some of the possible "damage")...
I had my htc hero overclocked to 710 with the screen on, and underclocked 176 with the screen off and it ran a lot better.
I digress, I see no purpose in doing so when you already have a 1ghz processor that is super fast. I only really see a point in overclocking if the possible benefit is greater than the possible harm, and in this circumstance, I really don't think you would see that much benefit.

I have seen considearable difference when maxed out. however the dangers are high of overheat. ive done it once and onetime only. kept on and off screen at 998 and hat it plugged in all day with out a single gain of battery. it was like on life support and was hot enough the phone was sweating even when sitting next to a fan blowing on it constantly.:-( since then i have made adjustments to run between 700 and 998mhz on screen and min 246 and 400mhz when screen off.
if looking for better performance without the overclock and good drain of battery, download and install sysctl from market and follow settings below.
min free kb: 900000
dirty ratio:500000
dirty background:200000

Not in all instances. Depends on the quality of the chip. Lot of chips are capable of handling higher speeds and temps but are set lower quality assurance.
For instance, I've got a NookColor that has base CPU set at 800MHz and is now overclockable to 1.2GHz
We'll have to do stress tests on some to see what they're capable of.

Agreed.
My Motorola Defy has a Omap3630 that comes at 800MHz,stock but can be easily overclocked to 1.3GHz without a sweat.
Just depends on the chip's capacity of "Stress".

What are the best settings to have you phone's CPU speed set at? I'm looking for both good performance and good battery. Also I am using the default overclocker, what is the best one? Thank you guys for your time.

I use SMARTASS as my CPU speed governor and I set my CPU to 480-748 MHz, seems pretty stable for me.

Overclocking values differ from phone to phone. Test it out with different values and use the one which is stable for you.
This was just discussed in the IHO technical-discussion thread, as a matter of fact.
My phone is stable for most stuff at 806 MHz, but sometimes the camera will cause a freeze/reboot. So I run at a 786 MHz max. Your phone will be different; this has to do with minute physical differences between individual chips.
The thing to keep in mind when overclocking is that the processor in our phone (unlike those of many other phones) does not make use of dynamic voltage scaling. There are only two voltage levels: a lower one if the phone is running at or below (or is it just below? correct me if I'm wrong, guys) 480 MHz, and a higher one if the phone is running above. So below 480 MHz, the system will give the processor a certain amount of voltage (period), and above, the processor will get a certain higher amount of voltage (period).
Because of that, the tests that have been done indicate that 806 MHz is the sweet spot for battery efficiency when the phone is in use--and the closer you get to 806, the better. Thus, I've had the following settings for quite some time:
786 MHz min
786 MHz max
Performance governor
which has treated me pretty well. On a day of light to moderate use, I'd end up with 65-75% battery left (occasionally more like 80%), depending on cell signal where I am et al. And it gives me probably the best performance I'm gonna get out of this phone.
However, I very recently decided to change the minimum to below that 480 MHz threshold and see what a lower voltage when idling would do for my battery life. My current settings are:
320 MHz min (may change to 480)
786 MHz max
Smart*** governor
There is actually a noticeable performance decrease when I first wake the phone up, so I may switch governors as well. In any case, I've had those settings for only one full day now, but for that one day the battery life was noticeably better. I'll post an update when I've had a few more days to test.
As always, it's difficult to quantify battery life in a reliable/rigorous manner (much less a universally applicable one), so YMMV.
Heya folks. Is it normal for my battery to consume so much since i overclocked my cores to 1.5 ghz each ? xD
Need powah and i like it very much but it fails cuz battery gets consumed very fast. Help !

Yes it is perfectly normal, battery consumption increases exponentially after 1.2ghz and especially even more so after 1.4ghz. All you can do is add a dark wallpaper as your background, under volt each cpu frequency as much as possible for your device, and undervolt your gpu as much as your device can handle. This defiantly won't solve the problem, but it will help off set some of the power consumption. Also, I'd probably recommend if you want to OC but are battery conscious, to only overclock to 1.4ghz. The power consumption at 1.4ghz is a lot less than 1.5ghz for almost no noticeable speed difference. Basically, for our cpu, 1.4ghz is the overclocking/battery sweet spot I hope this helps you
Edit: If you really want good battery but at 1.5ghz, the only really option is to get an extended battery, the Samsung one is really good and adds almost not extra bulk. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239719
Edit 2: If you want to learn more about under volting to save power, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532999
what's the differnce btw. OC vs non OC ? thanks

Overclocking is to increase your processors clock speed. The processor comes with a fixed clock speed which is mentioned in it's specs (1 GHz, 1.5GHz etc). OCing is to increase this speed past the fixed or 'stock' value to achieve better performance from the phone. Generally, if a phone has a fast enough processor out of the box, you won't notice much of a difference OCing. The main performance gain will be seen in benchmark tests. But if you have a slow processor, it'll make a difference to usability. Since more processing power = more electrical power, it causes greater battery drain and also reduces the life of the processor in the long run, because it heats up more and there's no cooling apparatus in a phone unlike a computer. A little OCing is fine, but overdoing it continuously will damage your processor. My phone is rated for 1 GHz but OCed to 1.15 GHz. It can go uptown 2 GHz max, but like I said, not good. OCing depends on the kernel of the phone. Stock kernels do not support it, but almost every custom kernel supports it. A non OCed device is one which is running at the stock frequency designated for it.

What is the difference between undervolting and underclocking? What does each do to battery life, performance, etc.
Also, what are the best, stable undervolting and underclocking value for the Rezound? I'm running Neo's Tron rom

Undervolting is lowering the amount of power the processor draws at a certain frequency. Let's say, for example, a processor uses 1025mV at 1.18GHz normally. If you lower the voltage to 975mV for that frequency (using System Tuner or something similar) that's undervolting. If you lower the voltage too much the device will be unstable and reboot.
Underclocking is lowering the top speed of a processor. On our Rezound, the maximum speed of our processor is 1.5GHz stock. If you lower the maximum speed to 1.18GHz that's underclocking. Obviously lowering the maximum speed of the processor will decrease the performance of the device somewhat, depending on how much you lower it and what you're doing. Just getting on Twitter and XDA you might not notice the difference in speed, but during gaming it'll become more prevalent.
There isn't an established "best" amount to undervolt by, as each device is different. One device might be able to undervolt by 50mV with no problems, while another might not be able to handle any undervolting at all. If you're using the latest version of TRON ROM you should already be on Snuzzo's FunkyBean kernel, which has been undervolted by 50mV at every frequency.
Undervolting is also a subjective thing. Some people choose to go with 1.18GHz, while others may choose something higher than that, like 1.35GHz. It all depends on how you use your device and how you want it to perform. I suggest trying out something around 1.24GHz and seeing if it's alright with you. If it's too laggy just raise the speed bit by bit until you're satisfied with it.
I'm sorry for the long winded reply, but I wanted to make sure I covered everything.
