Overclock widget (does it work?)

[Danokan]

On the developer's webpage it says:

Slide to the speed you want and then

PRESS THE "SET FREQUENCIES" button

Where is this button?????

Maybe they meant the refresh button?

Maybe they meant the refresh button?

I went to the developer's forum and asked them. Evidently that instruction was for an older version.

Newer version: Set the slide and done!

Ok, I pulled the trigger and went through with the SetCPU procedure. Followed the directions and tested a few things. I'm not seeing much of an improvement in speed, although the screen rotation seems to happen MUCH MUCH MUCH quicker now, especially with the keyboard opened.

I was playing around with my friend's Droid yesterday (she has no idea how to use it, so I'm always trying to "Fix" her problems... which are usually just laziness) and was a little jealous of how fast the screen rotates and things load. With SetCPU, it seems to have narrowed the gap on the screen rotating. The apps loading maybe is tougher to notice, as there are limits to how much that can be sped up.

As of this writing, my SetCPU widget states 0000 max and 0000 min. And I don't notice much increase after installing it, other than while typing, there seems to be less lag. I'm going to leave it installed to see if it makes a difference on battery. I think I had the device optimized pretty well and running about as fast as it can before Gumbo's kernal and setcpu came along.

no overclock program will work because we dont have the kernel source!

What is it going to take to actually overclock these?? I mean, crap, the DROID already can be overclocked, what gives?

I installed both GK-031 and SETCPU and notice a drastic difference. Picked up my wife's Hero and did side-by-side testing just to make sure it wasn't all in my head and everything is increasingly faster on my Hero. Testing throughout the day today to see how the battery reacts. Will post back later.

Actually, *I'm* your wife's Hero.

J/K...LOL...hahaha...I've been dying to use that one for a while now...sorry!

everyone needs to understand for the most part in order to use SETCPU

Yes you need the app to install but and I mean BUT

you have most likely be rooted (like i am on original Droid )

and you need to install a KERNAL ZIP FILE of your favorite custom rom for example


you get the file like for me i use Peter Alfonso

Stock Rooted Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) ROM Update GPA13

i HAVE MY CPU overclocked to 600 - 850 mhz seems good place from the stock 550 mhz on Droid

and example Peter provides his own over clocking Kernals as in zip file

i used Rom Manager to install the custom kernal zip file
