Root Change CPU speed? Bugless beast?

[sentinelace]

I noticed I had the option to choose up to 1.2GHZ and stayed with 600mhz. How can I change this setting after I've selected it?

Seriously, you need to do some reading.

I'm assuming you mean in ROM Manager when you downloaded the ROM. That setting determines what kernel it installs with the ROM. If you want a higher clock speed you will have to download a new kernel that supports it. They can be found in ROM manager but you have to make sure they will work with your ROM.

P3Droid's kernels can be found here: P3Droid Kernels

They are .zips you install through recovery and you do not wipe data/cache before doing so.

yeah that is what I meant. What reading?

The reading they are referring to is information about kernels (found in stickies) and in installation of Bugless Beast itself (see the links for the Bugless Beast FAQ). BB uses innate overclocking without the need for SetCPU, but it is based solely on the kernel you install and does not allow customization for profiles such as when charging, sleeping, etc. SetCPU will allow customization within the parameters of the kernel (the "slots").

Having a rooted phone and not even knowing what a CPU kernel does is just asking for trouble. I think that's what people are trying to point out. If you are going to have a rooted phone you need to read the stickies to know what you are doing.

I always use SETCPU and with bugless beast I always choose 600mhz. I never said I didn't know what a cpu kernel was. I simply wanted to know if I could change it. I didn't know I had to reflash.

if you use a 600mhz kernel there is no real need for setcpu since it will never go over 600. setcpu is used to set the over clocking or throttle it down in profiles on a kernel that supports higher rates. if you read the BB threads you will see that the other kernels are options which means they need to be flashed separately.

This is my point. If you don't know that different speed kernels, 1100, 1200, LV, SV, etc need to be flashed, then you need to do some reading on these forums.

Just because ROM Manager offers point and click convenience doesn't excuse a user from knowing what is going on during the process.
