Hey guys is there anything special I need to download or can I just start to input these commands in terminal emulator?

 

[pc747]

before starting I recomend you be familiar with terminal emulator, you have an sbf ready to go, and you make a nandroid backup. Since you have a droid x make sure you use the droid x file and not the droid 2 file. They are not interchangeable.

Ok gotcha thanks! Will bootstrap backup good enough? That's what I have.

wow

This is great stuff guys - thank you to all!!!

There is a lot of info spread around here - any chance up updateing OP as a instructional guide for various OC speeds... for example have different instructions for 1100, 1200, 1300 etc?

Also - (and forgive me if this has been covered) but when I had the D1, I found underclocking the lowest slot to 125mhz saved me battery when my phone was sleeping... anyone try setting the first slot to a lower speed?

 

[pc747]

people just trying stuff, I suggest you write down the numbers that was successful and failed. Each phones is different and voltage that allow me to get to 1300 for me may cause your device to root, while another guys d2 can hold 1400 at that voltage. its a matter of research to see what others have been successful with and compare.

Quick question...
Does anybody know what to type into terminal emulator so that you are able to change your settings in setscaling.sh without rebooting? I remember reading about it somewhere but cant find it again

1) make sure you have the right zip file I have 2 in this thread one for dx other for d2 if you innterchange them you will have reboots.


2) once you enter the command: # insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko

you wont have to enter it again upon reboot.

3) its so much easier to just do it using root explorer. after entering that command then go into root explorer and click
-systems folder
-xbin folder
-long press the setscaling100sh file
-scroll down to text editor
- then edit the numbers, becareful and increase slowly.
- after you done click back and save
- then click on the setscaling100sh file to execute

4) if you get a reboot the numbers or voltage may be to high. Start off first by increasing 100 at a time.


Good luck.

I may have phrased my question wrong... it seems like if I have already edited the setscaling.sh values and ran the commands in terminal emulator i cannot change my values again without rebooting the phone first to clear the edited setscale values. Is there a way to clear them without rebooting the phone. Mabey the setscaling100.sh allows you to do this? I have not configured that yet.

I have a couple different files in with my setscaling.sh file... setscaling.sh has the defaults, then I have 100 khz incriments in there... setscaling100.sh, setscaling200.sh ... etc ... so all I need to do is tap each (or run from terminal) sh file that I want to run... so if I find a speed that works great, (for example 1.2 ghz) i just tap setscaling200.sh and go to setcpu and make my max now 1200... now if I play with 1.3 ghz and find a value that works, I just modify my setscaling300.sh, tap it, setcpu... and bam!

Basically those are just script files that modify values in the /proc files... The only caveat here is that you do need to run the insmod ...overclock.ko command once each boot. I have gscript set up with those commands automatically tho, so if I don't like the temps, or it gets sluggish, I just go in, hit "stock" and I am back to stock speeds...

Long winded, but hope you get the point....

man had 1350 going for about a minute and a half through the stress test before a reboot.
