It's overclocked just by flashing
If you're going to set the max down, you might as well just run a non-OC kernel
It probably won't unless you're doing 3d gaming, I'm guessing it locked up going down the hall/up the stairs?
Some phones don't agree with OC. I just ran quadrant twice since you mentioned it, no locks.
FWIW the difference is barely perceptible.
If you notice on the very first screen of SetCPU, there are 2 sliders. Now that you installed the OC kernel, the slider on the top should be slightly off the highest setting (and set to 1000000 or something like that). If you move the slider all the way to the right (and set it to 12000000 or whatever) that should enable your phone to hit 1200mhz. (At least I think, as that's what I did.)Welcome back, Saps. Thanks for explaining SetCPU. I've always known of it, but never used it. Quick question: I flashed the EC10 OC UV Voodoo EnderstSpecial and installed SetCPU. I opened the app, and it was already set to conservative and max at 1200...so do I do anything? Or am I overclocked just simply by flashing this?
You nailed it. Locked on the stairs.
The difference between OC and standard? I'd imagine it isn't much different, I had just never tried running one before, so I thought I'd try it out.
Yeah Im sure nem will tweak and like you said if I can get 14-18 hours thats all I need.Mine actually made it through the 2 quadrants I ran just fine. But eventually after an hour or so of gaming it gave up the ghost out of nowhere.
I am also one for whom the battery increase from mega-UV isn't a big deal. I charge every night and have a spare battery in any case. I'll take the OC for sure. Maybe Nemesis will do some revisions like he did with the old OTB to make the kernels more stable.
Its a common addiction. Good news is there is a cure....more flashing .Very thorough, Thank You. i think i might be addicted to flashing my Fascinate.
The link I provided in the OP is for the red 2.5.x CWMYeah, it would be great if it didn't flash the shitty orange clockwork.
(I realize you can remove that either before or after, but still...)
OP updated to add nemesis2all's new uber kernel.
Boys and girls this is the best kernel I've ever used period. In combo with the voltage control app [free in market]. You basically get to pick your own OC and degree of UV. Im currently running a top speed of 1.3Ghz [1.4 is finicky on my phone ] but I also get the benefits of having all my steps 1200 and down uv to the degree I choose so -100mv on the bottom steps for instance. My highest recommendation.
I have to ask, how are you testing stability? I was using this for a while, but I felt like even at 1200 mhz my phone froze up occasionally. But at ridiculous times. I can run benchmarks fine without a problem, but while running pandora, and trying to open another app the phone froze up on me.Also nklenchik I tried mimicking imnuts straight uv values with -100mv at everything and something was amiss. As always YMMV but I believe some of my steps could be dropped by another -25mv maybe even -50mv on the lowest two I just haven't made the time to test each one individually to find the perfect combo yet. The voltages above for me are 100% stable. I would judge this to have for me on par battery life with nem's 1.2Ghz with -50uv, its not quite as good as imnuts -100mv but then again Im also gaining the extra 30% in top end clockspeed. This really is the best of both worlds in terms of performance and battery life.
Once I had the basic pattern then anytime I adjusted a steps value down by -25mv I'd run a few benchies as well as some scrolling thru the 3d gallery which for me is a classic freeze point on a unstable OC/UV. For instance, I was originally using -25mv at 1300Mhz but this froze on me once during 3d gallery scrolling so I moved it up an increment. Its likely I will re-try going back down 25mv again.I have to ask, how are you testing stability? I was using this for a while, but I felt like even at 1200 mhz my phone froze up occasionally.

Mainly how do you test each step for stability?
