I found this link to a working kernel hidden in the "Port Captivate Froyo" thread. It allows limited Overclocking up to 1.2 GHZ. Others (including myself) have applied this via Clockwork and it is working great. I by no means take any credit for this. Just trying to put the info out there.

What governor should I use? Interactive? Do I even need SetCPU? I don't want to change anything but the max clock speed if I don't. I find that it scales itself really well. Plus I don't wanna lose a lot of battery life.

I use SetCPU. Min 200 Max 1200 Conservative. I believe Daswolven and others are using these same settings. You may have to clear cache for SetCPU if you already have it installed. jt said do not use ondemand. Performance also seems to be working fine.

I loaded this kernel last night its pretty sweet. no issues runs really smooth so far. I have left it on conservative also, overall seems alot snappier. No battery issues yet, actually bout the same.

Kudos and thumbs-up to JT1134!!!
The ONLY drawback I've seen to this kernel is a slightly accelerated battery drain. Still way better than when i was running stock with Lookout...
JT1134 and Dirrk are both working hard, and we're all gonna benefit!
Also, I've noticed that things tend to go more smoothly when SetCPU is not set to start at boot...
Haha I was one of the ones who flashed it right away too, d12183 on the irc too
I am running this with a min. 100 max. 1200 conservative, no profiles. No problems yet, and battery is actually not looking much different.
Benefit of conservative governor, steps up to use.

This seems to use the same hardware as our Galaxy S phones, does this mean we can possibly hit 1.4Ghz?
Overclocking doesn't always help your phone, but heats up the battery and it is possible that battery to be exploded(well, thats 1.6)
There aren't even stable 1.3ghz out yet, so we would have to wait and see.
We can get to 1.2GhZ already and it honestly doesn't make a difference in day to day usage except that your battery life will drop a good bit.
Can we get to 1.4? Maybe.
Is the hummingbird super finicky at anything over 1.2? Yep.
Could this be a slightly revised chip? Probably.
Is there much benefit?

I'm sure we will see more then 1.2 ghz. I module overclock mine to 1.3 with a 1.2 kernel. And never any issues. Every phone is different and I can't even tell a drop in battery. I get over 48 hours per charge with regular usage. Plus I think one of the devs are working on 1.1-1.6ghz kernels as we speak.......... its all about voltages clock speeds and the right phone.

Totally agree with you on the reason that its pointless overclocking high end phones. I've had an Evo, Epic, Droid 2, Droid X, and now the Fascinate. Overclocking and quadrant scores are pointless to me because its already freaking fast enough.

I'm using setcpu. No performance is superfast...It's like my phone smoked crystal meth, no matter what I set the CPU speed to. Regardless I'm getting low bench scores. But I'm gonna take your advice and not care about it. I was just wondering if that was normal for a custom ROM and kernel combo.

Try setting the min freq as the same as max. Then select the performance governor, and run a bench. See what that does.

Absolutely no need for concern. Benchmark scores are terribly overrated. if the phone feels fast, then ride with it.
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.

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

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.....

I'm stable at 1.5 (1350mV), though I don't run it at that daily. It was covered in steve's init thread in development. Look in the last few pages.
i run antutu all the time at 1.6 with no problems. guess i got lucky
Ok just gave my 1600mhz 50mv more and its stable now so i can finally overclock a little higher when needed
Stable only to [email protected] here. Locks up after that.

Mine overclocks to 1.6 with no issues at all. I ran it like that for weeks until I decided that I want longer battery life. The stock speed is still fast, and underclocking still results in acceptable responsiveness.
I use Tasker to overclock my phone when playing certain intensive games. Otherwise, my phone is usually underclocked.
Mine's never crashed at 1.6, but I don't really stress test it there besides with benchmarks.
Mine locks up at 1.4Ghz. Each one is different i guess..
Stable at 1.6 with custom kernels or tegrak on stock kernel. UV too.

I have never had any issues at 1.6 and that is on just about every rom. I dont ever keep it at that cuz i dont enjoy sucking my battery but it is definitely fun to show off to others, HAHA! Also I have a captivate and the highest it would let me overclock it was 1.7 and that is ridiculous but it was unstable. lol
I've found a way to make almost every setting I have tried relatively stable. You just have to keep tweaking. It's not as simple as getting an overclock app and maxing. Here are some screen shots I took of a recent bench. This is only at 1632. I customized a I9100 ICS rom to be fully functional on my I777 and I'm scoring higher just above 1600 than I was closer to 1700. I was ranked 720 but those transformer primes! I wish it was only mobile phones on the chart! lol

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

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.

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

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
