Just installed SetCPU on my Droid Eris. In the main menu, the sliding scale only goes up to 528 MHz. What gives? I'm new at this, but shouldn't the scale go higher so I can increase the processor speed?

I am rooted. I've been using a wireless tether for a month. In Superuser Permissions there is a green dot for SetCPU and a notification '/system/bin/sh as root (uld:0)'You need to be rooted to overclock.
I am rooted. I've been using a wireless tether for a month. In Superuser Permissions there is a green dot for SetCPU and a notification '/system/bin/sh as root (uld:0)'
At the bottom of the screen it says "SetCPU 2.1.3 autodetect"
Any ideas?
That's right. I downloaded Eris 1 Click Root app and followed the instructions. It works fine for wireless tethering.If you simply rooted (i.e., using the 1-click method and flashed the rootme.zip), then you haven't installed / replaced your kernel with one that can be overclocked.
Does this sound right, or have you installed a custom ROM or flashed Zanfur's overclock patch?

Yep, you'll need to have a kernel installed that's overclockable.
You can flash Zanfur's overclock patch (http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/135849-how-do-i-flash-oc-patch.html#post1253948) or you'll have to replace your current ROM.
Be careful and proceed cautiously with overclocking (don't check "set on boot" until you are sure you are stable at that speed).
Cheers!
Probably in a little over my head with this. What's a nand backup?My suggestion would be to flash this ROM instead of messing with the new kernal stuff. [ROM][GPL][3/15/2011] xtrSENSE5.0.1 [cache2cache,apps2sd,oc,jit]-HTC Sense - xda-developers
With xtrSense, you should be able to flash the ROM over the top of your stock setup (maybe wipe dalivk) and won't lose your apps or settings. You should still make a nand backup before you attempt this incase something goes screwy. This ROM is also overclocked already, so you would only need setcpu if you wanted different profiles for screen off or battery percentages.

Yikes...this is complicated. I'm way over my head. Maybe I'll just learn to live with my slow as molasses Eris.

It's a lot easier than it looks.
OK. Thanks for all the help. I did the nand backup using QuickBoot...hope that's ok. Now I'm downloading xtrSENSES, a huge file, on to my laptop. This is what I understand I should do next: After the download is complete, connect the Eris to my laptop with the cable and move the xtrSENSES file on to the SD card, but not into a folder. Not sure what to do after that.
Is the phone running at 710 MHz now? Have you tweaked your phone with SetCPU?
Hi. Do you have any opinions about whether installing Froyo is worth it? Would this replace xtrSENSE? Any other cool things to do now that the phone is rooted?
Hi. Two more questions: How do I remove stock apps like Teeter? How do I install apps onto SD card?
GScript
I have compiled and incorporated the opensource GScript app to load and one-click run user settings.
To setup your GScripts complete the following steps:
1. After opening GScript press the menu button and select "Add script"
2. A new window will open.
3. Press the Load file button
4. Select a script from the list (each is obviously named as to its function)
5. Ensure Needs SU? is checked
6. Now select "Save" and you have added your script
7. To run just select it from the list in the main GScript screen
8. You may be prompted to reboot the phone for the change to take effect.
This new release has a lot of new scripts but remember your phone has been setup great by default with this ROM and if you do not understand the function or purpose of a GScript then best to not save and run it . One can always search this forum and ask others about all the the fun things you can now do with your phone! I will look to add a list of each GScript and its function as time allows...
Apps2sd and Cache2sd:
I have revamped my implementation of apps2sd to use simpler and better organized scripts. For apps2sd to work you must first complete the listed prerequisites and it is a good idea to read through the "things you may want to know about apps2sd" section. Although it can provide gobs of space for apps, Apps2sd is not for everyone as it ties the stability of your phone to your SD card... If you do not need the space I would recommend that you keep the default of DISABLED; if you want to try you can always disable it again however there is always the chance of issues.
To enable/disable apps2sd and cache2sd just run the appropriate GScript and reboot your phone.
Prerequisites
If you have not setup your SD card (for those new to Apps2sd) as per tkirton:
BACKUP YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER. Can't stress this enough, as partitioning will wipe the entire card.
Reboot into recovery
In Android System Recovery, select Partition sdcard
In the Partition sdcard menu, select Partition SD
Follow the instructions on the phone to partition your SD card. Most folks seem to recommend using the default values however you can go larger or smaller use values 256, 512,768,1024. You will also be asked to set a swap size; I stayed at 32mb (anticipate future ROM options to allow moving swap to sd)
Once the partition is initially created you must then convert to ext3 - In the Partition sdcard menu, select SD:ext2 to ext3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.
Your SD card is now ready to work with an Apps2sd supported ROM.
Things you may want to know about apps2sd
Bootloop protection is built in if your SD card is corrupted or is removed from the phone with Apps2sd enabled. Your apps will go away but your phone will boot .
There are 3 subsets of data associated to an app when it is installed and run on your phone.
1) /data/app/ (and /data/app-private) - actual .apk files we think of as the applications that are not system apps (i.e. installed on /system/app)
2) /data/data/ - the files produced by ALL apps (system apps and market apps) during installation that are used by the Android system to run the app
3)/data/dalvik-cache/ - app cache file and work space for ALL apps (system apps and market apps).
From root explorer (or similar) you can browse to the /data/app OR the /system/sd/app folders and you will see the same thing, both will tell you how much space you have used and have left. The way apps2sd works is by "linking" the /system/sd/app to the /data/app folder so that the Android system thinks it is accessing the /data/app it is really at /system/sd/app.
I have seen using Apps2sd cause issues with some.zip flash updates as they try to write directly to the /data/app folder which no longer "physically" exists
If you get into a bootloop issue using apps2sd boot into amon_ra recovery and try one of the follow:
1) from the Other menu option select the Fix apk uid mismatches
2) from the Wipe menu option complete a)Wipe data/factory reset b)Wipe Dalvik-cache c)Wipe SD:ext partition
Apps2sd and Cache2sd Basics
When you run the apps2sd or cache2sd script, upon reboot, it will move ALL your existing apps or cache to the sd card ext partition and ALL future apps and cache will be installed and stored on the sd card ext partition.
Running the apps2internal or cache2internal script, upon reboot, it will move ALL your existing apps or cache to the /data block of internal storage and ALL futures apps and cache will be stored in internal storage.
With HTC based ROMs it is all or nothing and you cannot move individual apps like in the CyanogenMod ROMs.
So how do I know Apps2sd is on? - You can run the GScript report_system_stats which will give you a printout of what fileblocks are used as well as a
