I just purchased Droid Overclock and I am looking for suggestion on settings or instructions to max out battery life...that is my goal right now.
Any help appreciated

Try doing a search for threads in here. All of them will tell you that every phone is different and what works on one won't necessarily work on yours. But doing the search will let you read all the precautions for overclocking and under volting. But one thing to make sure not to do is check the box to auto apply on reboot.
Also set your profile so when your screen is off it stays at your lowest clock speed, definitely saves battery
Thanks! Well, actually I did a search before I made this post, but really didn't find anything much on Droid Overclock settings. Will give it another shot and see. I was looking for specific settings for Droid Overclock, not just overclocking in general.
i would suggest also buying quick clock advance. then you can find your bare minimum vsels, your maximum speed the phone can handle, and suggested profiles. i used that and used the battery saver profile. underclocks my phone to 900 but i haven't noticed any drop off in performance. my slots are 300 Mhz: 18V, 540 Mhz:30V, 720 Mhz:38V, and 900 Mhz:48V. but every phone is different. thats why quick clock advanced is so useful. it will find the best settings for your phone. i'm also on rubix focused 2.0 using the conservative governor. 90% battery after 13 1/2 hours as of right now.
I used quick clock but i didn't like it. I don't think it rated my phone accurately. I'm only using Droid X overclocking. It has all the settings that the other does so i just don't see running 2 apps for the same thing. I'll try to post a drocap pic of my settings this morning. I'm still playing around fine tuning but it's pretty close
Ok, I have all 3 programs now...SetCPU, Droid Overclock, and Quick Overclock. I ran Quick Overclock and got my vsel value and max MHz, so which program should I use to setup a battery saving profile in? Anyone better than the other?
Here is what quickoverclock shows:
300 - 15
600 - 30
800 - 40
1000 - 50
Shows max CPU of 1406.
So, how do I know any of these 3 are working to save battery?

You want to run quickclock and use it to find max speed, vsels, and profiles. After its done and reboots, go into the overclock section of the app. Hit menu and select load profile. Select battery saver. Then select export profile. Save the file. Then go into droid overclock advanced. menu/ import settings. Select the file and apply it
I used quick clock and using it's settings my X froze and/or rebooted several times. I then altered the vsel 5 points up on each level and have had no problems. So one of the vsel's that quickclock gave me seemed to be too low.

Ok, got all of this done and then went to Droid Overclock and selected "Advanced/Custom", then menu and "Import Presets", but the only thing that comes up is "cancel" or "update.zip". Is the update.zip file the settings that quick overclock saved or am I missing something?
