[APPS] Droid X/2 Overclock App - Easy & Noob friendly ;)

[humungus]

Hey man, I'm having a few issues with the new advanced options. (DX on rubiX 1.0)

1: When I set custom frequencies and voltages, the lowest freq seems to be unavailable. For instance, I was setting it as follows: 1.15, .8, .55, .3. When I go to SetCPU, it doesn't show .3 as an option. More importantly, the current cpu speed doesn't drop below .55.

2. Custom frequencies and voltages set under advanced do not survive reboot.

I've reinstalled rubiX and had the same issues. I haven't tried on other roms yet, but I'll check them out later when I get some time. Also, your preset frequencies and voltages exhibit neither of the above problems; they were flawlessly.

EDIT: Also, manual setting of these frequencies (using freewell's original method) works flawlessly.

Anyway I can get this since its not showing up in market?

After setting your freq's in the app, run a sanity check in a terminal and cat /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
check to make sure that what you set is what you got.

Milestone Overclock 1.4.3.1

Hi all, I'm the Milestone Overclock guy. I'd like to let you know that the latest version of Milestone Overclock supports Droid X 2.2 and is now in the Market. It is based on the fix by nadlabak/kabaldan but done "correctly" now that we have the kernel source.

For those of you not familiar with Milestone Overclock, it's the original overclock app for the Motorola Milestone (which has a locked firmware just like the Droid X) but nowadays strives to support all OMAP3 phones, and that includes Droid, Droid X, Droid 2 (working on it), many XT7xx/XT8xx and even a Samsung (Galaxy Beam; others are Hummingbird, not OMAP). And yes, mine is free, albeit with an uglier interface than this (I thought he didn't credit me but it's in the about section of the app, and he also updated the first post).

If you're interested, you can check out the issue which led to this release in the project site:
http://code.google.com/p/milestone-o...s/detail?id=36
(many thanks to tekahuna, nadlabak, freewell)

If you have a Droid 2 and would like to help porting the module/app for it, just open an issue in the site.

Thanks,
Tiago Sousa aka mirage

That script returns the correct frequencies and voltages (read: the custom settings I input). But, these settings don't survive a reboot, and the processor doesn't even run at the lowest frequency setting. I've verified in SetCPU and Android System Info that it only gets down to 600 (the second rung).

I'm uncertain what the problem is here. Is there another, official avenue for support of this app? This is the URL linked to on AppBrain, but JRummy doesn't seem too active here.

Stable at 1.3GHZ, low voltage. However the phone gets pretty warm, and the battery temp gets up to 100. I'm currently running 1.15 low voltage with zero problems, and the phone doesn't get any warmer than stock.

I'd like to have a way to monitor the actual CPU temp. Is there anything that will work for 2.2?

Been running @ 1.45ghz / medium voltage all day perfectly. No issues so far at all. Battery doesn't get above 33'C and no noticeable extra drain.

After running the ULV 1.0ghz setting(before the scaling governor was available) I'm sitting at exactly 24 hours and 20% battery life on Rubix focused .5 rom. I had issues with 1.0 so I'm back on .5.

This was a normal usage day I didn't go to any extreme to squeeze out life. I listened to music over A2DP for 2 hours, talked for 45 mins, played about 15 min of angry birds, have all widgets set to 1 hour update & had GPS, Bluetooth & sync on the whole time. The best part about underclocking is you don't have to compromise the functionality of the phone like Juicedefender does.

Best $.99 I've ever spent, already got it back in battery life!

Anyone able to run the ULV kernals? I have been running ULV 1.25 for a few days without problem. Just wondering if anyone else is able to.

 

[ShadowDroid]

I am currently running 1.15 ULV and so far its been stable for the last two days.....I havent tried higher in terms of ULV but my phone did start slowing down when I tried 1.3 at LV....so I still need to play around with it but I am happy with my over and underclock lol.....better battery life plus the phone is alot smoother now in transitions using LP plus

This app is awesome! Thanks much.

I was running at 1.4 GHZ on low voltage and scored between a 1678-1808 benchmark on 6 tests!!!!

Only problem was that my battery temp got up to 105 degrees.

What is the safe range for the battery temp? I understand that every DX is different and the solder/components will melt/breakdown at different temps, but generally speaking...what is safe?

im no expert by far , I know the lil I know from these guys .I wanna say 105 isnt safe at all .
but at stock without none of this my battery was running anywhere from 85 to 93 degrees without over or under clocking so i would say between those its safe . im running Low V AT 1.25 ghz with a score of 1563 temp is 98 which is only 3 up from when i wasnt over or under clocked at all . hope that helps. im sure experts will answer better

I have been running 1.35 GHz on Ultra Low Frequency for the past day with no issues or restarting. Watched over 4 hours of H.264 Encodes, and the phone handled it perfectly. Current temperature of 29 C, barely hits 34 C during heavy usage.

Quadrant scores from 1700-1900.

Reading through this thread I have not seen any posts regarding the ROM's being used and the experiences with them. I have only tested overclocking with Apex v1 and Rubix 1.0, and Rubix has given me the best results. I couldn't hit 1.3 GHz stable with Apex. Both great roms but I am going to keep Rubix for its constant stability when overclocking!

I can also notice better battery life on Ultra Low Frequency. I can watch about an hour of Video's with only 10% battery drain. Video playback drained a lot more battery previously!

This app is well worth the small price. I am amazed at how flawlessly the CPU handles H.264 Encodes!

 

[humungus]

Is anyone able to get custom presets to load on boot? I can't, for some reason.

now running 1.3GHZ stable at ULV. Battery temps aren't getting any higher than 95 degrees. And that's running quadrant tests and cpu stress tests one after another for about 15 minutes.

Getting about 1800 quadrant score consistently and I'm on the stock ROM
