I have CM7 XRonified running on my Touchpad, but I'd like to overclock it to 1.6 or 1.7Ghz, but I cannot find any info on how to do this successfully to BOTH cores. Overclocking using the webOS Overclocking instructions does not carry over to CM7.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Bump, and thank you again in advance.
Doesn't setcpu do both cores?
Does it? I don't think it does.

Please don't bump your post less than an hour after you posted it.
My apologies about the bump. I'll try out SetCPU. How do I verify what both my cores are running at?
how to check both cores are running overclock, using antutu here. thanks.
Use CPU tuner
I really think setcpu would do the trick.

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.

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
Setcpu is a paid app, but works great.

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.
Alan
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

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

For starters don't use set cpu. It is not made for tegra, and only overclocks the active core(s). It leads to many instabilities. Secondly, 1.6ghz is the max clockspeed when running in quad core mode. 1.7ghz is only available when running on a single core.
