So I have installed the Charity Rom and I see it uses ChevyNo1's 1100Mhz Ultra Low Voltage Kernel. It runs great on my Droid but my question is this.
Is there any need for SetCPU? Is a kernel like this set to overclock and underclock by itself? Governor set up?
Correction. It uses chevy's 1100 interactive low voltage kernel.
So it's looking like setcpu isn't even needed?
Only if you want to use profiles.
Thanks for the reply!Quote:

I changed it in SetCPU to 800 interactive and now I'm debating on reflashing since it's overclocked anyway and leaving out SetCPU.
Reflash what?
I'm currently using that Charity Smoked Glass ROM. I would reflash that and not reinstall SetCPUQuote:

Fair enough. I just wasn't sure if uninstalling it would release the kernel to default.Quote:

This morning I see a few people saying setCPU can lower battery life and it might be ideal to let the kernel do it's thing alone. So, my thinking was reflash to see what happens if i don't use setCPU, but on the other hand, i'm really only using it to limit the speeds to 800 for the sake of battery life.
much better post - thank you coffee.
