Currently you can Choose to set your frequencies at boot and in real time. It's just as good as an instant kernel installer to get your custom frequency and voltage whenever you want, instantly.

Seems to work great. I have it set for the highest one on medium voltage. Can you tell me: is this a true reading? Am I actually overclocked at 1450 when it says I am (confirmed by SetCPU) or is that like a maximum-type number?
Bought it and used it once. I really like the app.
One problem though, after that first use I made sure my phone was stable. I went to the app drawer and looked for it but I couldn't find it. So I went to the market to open it there and when I clicked it, a message popped up "the requested item could not be found." So is this happening with everyone or does my life just suck?
EDIT: Nevermind it seems to be working now. Thanks for your hard work!

Also, what is the voltage number for "medium"?
You can view your current setscaling by typing the following in terminal emulator:
cat /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
Are you using gscript?

I'm running fab's ROM. I did the overclock -off script and this app runs fine. I was actually getting mass reboots with the rom settings, but with this app I can run much higher speeds with no problems.
i am also wondering if the apps running numbers are true to form......if your phone csnt run lets say 1.3 when u change the overclock settings manually or via zip or what have u how would it achieve that through an app?

Steven do you have any benchmarking programs/apps. Dont use quadrant as that will not scale accurately. But Linpack, SpeedPi, Benchmark Pi, CPUBenchmark or even the Benches within SetCPU's Info tab will give you a good sense if you in fact have gained 45% clockspeed

How do you read the results? Just look like numbers lol
So I can't use this app because it gives me "cannot install overclock files" or whatever that error is? Anyone know why? Is it because I'm currently running overclocked at 1.35ghz? I renamed all the files to .bak and it still gives me the error.

Well you have to take preliminary numbers off the 1Ghz scores. So test it with 1Ghz and then re test with 1.45Ghz or whatever you end up at. There should be a relative proportional increase
The qr doesn't work for me. It says pname:com.jrummy.droidx.overclock not found. I also didn't see it when searching for "overclock" in the store. Has it been removed?

installed the droid x/2 overclock app but i get the "error failed to install overclocking components...contact the developer" if uninstalled it and reinstalled it 3 times and get the same message...even rebooted...any ideas

i got the same message. only thing i can think is i have the other OC app installed and maybe there is a conflict.

Linpack score:
@ 1ghz:
13.32
@ 1.45 ghz:
19.721 mflops
I guess it's about right, then?

Now that overclocking is going mainstream here with this plug-n-play method, would someone explain the advantages/disadvantages to using lower vs higher voltages (other than battery life)? Is it just a matter of finding a stable setting?
Also -- I'm just wondering how this app can produce stable presets after all of the tweaking and failures of the manual method. Or will the presets need to be tested on an individual basis as well? At least this makes it a snap to test.

Version 1.0.3 was just released, and it fixed the "failed to install overclocking componets" bug.
I set it to 1.45 GHz and got a 1655 quadrant score (previous high was in the low 1400s). Not sure if I want to run it this fast for too long, but nice to know that the processor is capable of such things.

I assume you use "Set Scaling Frequencies" for real time testing, then "Set Frequencies at Boot" once you have a stable setup?
for this application, start with the lowest setting on any given frequency, and if it isnt stable, bump it up. if it isnt stable on the highest, bump the frequency down, and start back at the lowest voltage and repeat.
yeah, once you find something that works, and you want it to survive a reboot, then you can go ahead and set frequencies at boot. until then, you just have to re-overclock every time you reboot.

What I meant on the voltages, is how do I select between Ultra Low, Low, Medium and High? I don't understand the pros/cons of each setting. Will definitely start slow and work my way up on the freqs!

yeah, i meant voltages too. you want to start on the lowest setting. lower setting = better battery life. but, lower setting can also = unstable. you want to run the lowest setting you can without being unstable. i guess it also depends on what you want to accomplish. are you looking to save battery, or are you looking for better performance?
try 1.3 @ low. if it reboots, try 1.3 @ medium, and so on. if you arent stable, try moving down in frequency, then start again at low, and so on. if you are stable at 1.3, try moving to 1.35.
