New Rooted User

[Cwagmire]

Hey all,

I just recently rooted my Droid 2 running the Liberty rom. I'm still pretty much a novice at the whole root thing, but so far it's been pretty fun. Few things I want to get a crack at is using a ROM manager and overclocking.

I've downloaded Clockwork's ROM manager, but honestly I don't know how to use it. And I'm not sure if overclocking is for me because while the extra speed sounds nice, I don't know if I like having worse battery life.

Anyways, I hope to learn a lot from this community and look forward to talking with you all.

howd u get liberty on your D2? you should already have clockwork - just use the bootstrapper app

and for OC, i suggest JRummys app or Quickclock (although I use both)

lemme know if you have any more questions

Thanks for the welcoming Husker

@Abe (or anyone who can answer) Sorry, I forgot to mention that I do have the Clockwork Bootstrap that allowed me to install Liberty. Also, if I'm satisfied with the speed of my phone now, is it worth it to overclock since it seems battery life is reduced by overclocking?

Welcome to the community and with jrummy's overclock app you can also underclock to help out with battery life and also edit the voltage. 300mhz at 31v is my lowest. jrummy has great work and also welcome to the rooted darkside. Dive in and enjoy

I've been trying to come up with the stock clock speeds of the D2 so I can visualize the differences overclocking and underclocking will do, but can't find anything. Do you know these numbers?

well i rebooted my phone with a battery pull to set it back to stock speeds and voltages. i took some sreenshots below i had to take 2 bc 1ghz wouldnt fit in the first pic.

I see so by overclocking, its setting the maximum higher to 1.2 or so while the minimum is still staying around 300 mhz if I read that correctly?

Thanks for the quick reply!

these are some shots of the scaling options that are preset by jrummy and the second is a shot of custom presets that you can make

those pics help?

Lots of voltage and mHz going around. I'll have to study up before pursuing further. Thanks!
