Root Can't overclock...

Keep this in mind. When using ADW EX on the stable CM7.0.3 and when using it on stock stable LG firmware, the software works fantastically and I don't have any problems.

I have the LG Optimus M which is a MetroPCS version of the Optimus One. CM7 does not officially support the Optimus M, and the firmware we have for it is a ported version from another Optimus phone. I have no idea if the original CM7 build I have for my Optimus is "stable" or not. LG also just recently released the source code for my version of the Optimus M (2.2.1 rather than 2.2) and a fresh OC kernel has only been available for a week or two. This kernel let me run fairly stable at 787 MHz which is the average it seems for this phone, but I was left with a random crash, sometimes several times an hour, that would hard lock the phone and necessitate a cold boot. I couldn't figure it out so I flashed back to stock last weekend and have been running trouble-free 'till today. I figured it was a problem with the kernel.

Cue Nook Color. I had it set up software-wise exactly like my phone at first. Running stable CM7, everything was perfect. I wanted to OC though, so I started playing around. Once I sorted out the boot issues with the OC kernel (that you helped me with) it was running fantastic as well at 1.2G. It wasn't until I had reinstalled everything and set ADW EX as my default home that things started to act up; that didn't happen 'till way late in the day after work. I thought it was just a random OC-related crash at first, until it started crashing randomly on the stock clocks, too, exactly like my Optimus.

That's when I realized it must be a common item between the two, since the behaviour was identical. After a few hours of trial and error, I narrowed it down to those two softwares I mentioned.

I ran all night and all early morning perfectly without that software. As soon as ADW EX was reinstalled and set to home, the problem came right back. I took it off and am using the included free ADW and it hasn't been an issue.

I have also since re-flashed my Optimus this morning with CM7 and the OC kernel, and it's been singing along all morning at 787 MHz with no ADW EX.

And let me note; right now I'm in technology heaven, with sugar on top. Oh, and some hot fudge, too.

Just thought I'd update my own thread here, now that I'm on device number two...

This Nook seems to run much more smoothly compared to my first. It's also running great at 1.3GHz, and I haven't had to increase voltages at all like I did with my first device.

*thumbs up*

Stable now @ 1.35GHz, 1.385v. Games are really coming to life over 1.3. Age of Zombies is a blast!

I hope to get it stable @ 1.4 GHz without cresting 1.4v, but I want to give this new processor more time to burn in before shocking it with heavy voltage bumps.

Brings me back to my days of AMD overclocking.

ahem... it was 27 days... >:O

And that one was running at 1.4v
