Hi Everyone,
I did a search for this and I got a very good thread on the EVO 4G sub-forums...however I don't think all of it is pertinent to SGS. I may be wrong though because words like "kernel" are familiar but I have yet to understand what they mean. If this thread is in the wrong forum, I apologize.
As per my thread out here on Rooted Apps, one of the apps which Beards suggested was OverClockWidget (I have linked it to the AppBrain site).
I have downloaded it without downloading SetCPU (linked) but since I am not a tech guy I couldn't figure out what to do. I will download SetCPU tonight once I get my hands on my credit card.
This thread isn't really a question per say...I basically want a confirmation of information which I have read on other threads/sites.
I Googled "OverClockWidget recommended settings" and one of the threads which I got off another forums is here (I dunno if I am allowed to link other forums). The mod out there are laid out the settings as follows:
1. Download "Overclock widget" from the market
2. Add overclock widget to a space on a home screen
3. Click the newly created button
4. Choose advanced settings
5. Set the following settings in this order:
Near the bottom -> "Detect Frequencies" (no confirmation, it just does it)
Back to the top -> Screen On Freq Setting:
Min - 480000
Max - 691200
Tick Differ Freq Screen Off
Screen Off Freq Setting:
Min - 245760
Max - 245760
Tick Auto Start on Boot
Save
In this case make it higher.
Enjoy.

Having said this, my confirmation questions are:
Thank you for your help. I hope there are others who may have similar questions as me.

Having said this, my confirmation questions are:
- Is the above setting ok? I've already used those settings and they seem to be working fine. I cannot get the exact numbers like him (for some reason that option doesn't exist for me...I need to use round figures).
- I understand that if I delete the app from my home screen the settings will be preserved but if I reboot my phone I will have to restore the settings myself. Is this correct?
- One of the options in "Advanced Settings" is Use your frequencies. It comes checked by default. I don't know what to make of this. The warning sign right below this states CAUTION: MAYBE FREEZE YOUR PHONE! So from my understanding I have to allow it to be checked, right? There is no need for me to mess with this setting, right?
- SetCPU is a good app to have along with this but they are not mutually dependent on each other in such a way that I absolutely must have one of them if I have the other. Is this correct?
Thank you for your help. I hope there are others who may have similar questions as me.
