I have almost always overclocked my phones. SetCPU was the first thing I used back on my Eris, and since coming to the DInc2 I have tried several on several different ROMs.

I'm currently running GingerBangSense 4.5 M, Drellisdee's #21 kernel and O/Cing with SetCPU. Quite often when I wake my phone it doesn't run as though it is being overclocked, and then a minute after waking it flashes the "SetCPU has been granted superuser permission" and it then runs like hot grease on a Teflon skillet. After going to sleep, this cycle may or may not happen again every time I wake the phone. It may wake and run slick as snot and never show the permissions message again, or after a few cycles it may start slow again until "SetCPU has been granted permissions" then picks up the pace again.

I didn't have this problem with No Frills CPU Control when I ran it, but it didn't seem to improve performance. I don't even think it was actually even overclocking at least not when I compare it to the benchmarks and performance with SetCPU.

So, my question is this. What do YOU use to O/C and do you really think it works? I need suggestions, because the ones I have tried from the market say they don't work for this phone

 

I typically have overclocked strictly to get rid of lag. Any little snag, delay, hiccup, pause, jitter or blip I see when I scroll (especially in the app drawer) bugs the hell out of me. The only way I have been able to rid myself of this is by O/Cing.
My battery life doesn't suffer amazingly enough, but I can definitely tell the difference when I O/C.

 

I'm currently running Incredicontrol and it seems to be working well. Bonus: it can undervolt so I can get rid of photon.
