do you think that people will built custom ROMS (and i dunno if you can set this in a theme) that are already overclocked? i.e when you load the ROM it will overclock the phone for you?

Not with a ROM (that I am aware of), but probably with a custom script. Hardly seems worth it though for a 10% increase.

In my opinion there is no value to overclocking the phone from 1ghz to 1.1ghz, if the difference was bigger it would be great.

I loved Ocíng my Droid 1 from 600mhz to 1.2ghz, made the phone scream.

what about slightly underclocking and lowering voltage (if possible?) would that make a decent increase in battery life?

undervolting was on 2.1, and now since the source code is out, its only a matter of time.

as for OCing, i also see no real benefit from 1Ghz to 1.1.

overclocking with scripts yes but the bootloader is still locked down so no kernels

Right behind you...

I'd have to agree here.

There is no real benefit to such a small overclock other than if you prefer to drain your system faster.

they overclocked the dx to 1.45. On the d2 I am at 1250 (I scaled back from 1300, though 1300 worked good im testing a theory). Point being that extra 200 kick is a nice pickup. Yeah not as big of a jump from 600 to 1200 on the d1. But I think the d1 processor was actually meant to go that high. With Adw and less blur widgets 1250 is flying for me on the d2. I actually like the scripts idea, I mean I can edit and set my own ranges instead of rely on a kernel. I also dont have to worry bout bootloops because once it reboots it drops back to stock so you can try another combination of voltage and processing speeds.
