I have Evil Eris 3.0....and I have downloaded SetCPU....question is....how do I overclock my phone ( make it faster??)
What do i do once in Set CPU?

How do I set it higher??A safe setting is 710 max, 528 min.
Then do some research about setting profiles. I dont recommend trying to go too high. You can send your phone into a boot cycle.
How do I set it higher??
I'm newly rooted and was wondering how much difference does overclocking make

You know.. I would probably compare it to, if you have an HDTV, changing out the component cables for HDMI.
You might not actually notice a huge difference(in some cases), but you just know it's better.
If you're rooted, you must OC
I beg to differ. You notice it when you run multiple apps. .
The MOST IMPORTANT and yet, often overlooked part of SetCPU is the Failsafe Temperature setting. In Profiles, set it to 245/480 and temp to around 43 degrees C. It will prevent you from damaging your phone/cpu/battery. Make sure profiles are ON!! and set your "sleep" profile also, otherwise your cpu could stay running at full speed even whiles its asleep. I use 245/245 or 245/480 for my sleep profile.
open setcpu
main screen
set top slider to 710ish
set bottom slider to 528ish
make sure "set on boot" checkbox is NOT ticked until you get everything set and after a few reboots.
"on demand" should be your daily settings, use "performance" from the dropdown when you are setting up your setcpu.
ondemand = if you dont need it it will automatically knock your cpu down to help battery and temp, when needed it cranks it to your top setting
performance = it is pegged at top setting
click profiles
tick the top profiles on box
enable sleep/stanby
click modify
set to 245/245
if you phone lags waking up then you can turn this up a bit to remedy that.
enable failsafe profile
set temp to around 40-45c and set the cpu to 245/245
this is so you dont toast your phone....very important.
now that that is all set, if your ROM can overclock more then 710, slowly crank up the OC'ing (on main setcpu screen) and test your phone to see how high you can go without forcecloses/reboots/issues etc. once you find that point set it down a notch and you are good to go.
Thanks again! Not quite as scary / fun as the initial root process, but a small thrill nonetheless Appreciate everyone's help!
Caddyman, thanks for the info! Okay, so I enabled profiles, enabled sleep/standby at 245/245, enabled failsafe at 41-degrees and 245/245.
Doesn't look like Ivan's ROM goes higher than 710 (okay w/me for now), but I didn't change the minimum on the main screen from 19 MHz (i.e., to 528-ish).
Last question: so, not setting "set on boot" simply keeps these settings between boot cycles? Set-on-boot would be to keep me from having to reset the above values after each reboot?

Correct on set on boot. And I would change main and any profiles that have min set to 19MHz. Can cause lock ups. just remember the lower you go, the slower the proc will go to. Some things may then lock up the phone in that MHz since it cannot handle it. I recommend 480 min for in use and 245 min for when in sleep.
But to each is their own. But those min's dont make my phone lag when waking up from sleep or any other use.
For sleep stand by, I would do 480/245. 245/245 I noticed will make phone lag when trying to answer calls or waking up.
i have it set to 768 with the latest OC kernel, works quite smooth. I know most of the roms that people are running are using the last OC kernel. If you think your running the last kernel, chekc into upgrading. Make sure you NAND backup first, just download and flash on your current rom. Then jump into SetCPU and have at it.
I did have my Eris running at 806 on WW3.2, the phone was damn fast
who's on 2.1?
it says Evil Eris 2.1
