CPUBoost Lite (overclocking app, root required)

THIS APP IS NOW AVAILABLE IN THE ANDROID MARKET. THIS VERSION POSTED HERE IS OLD. JUST SEARCH CPUBOOST IN MARKET. THANKS!!!!



CPUBoost Lite is an simple overclocking app. It was developed and tested on a Droid Eris. It would be great if I could get some people to test it on some other android devices. It was tested with Froyo and should work for other versions of android as well. It's a fairly simple UI to set the governor and clock speed. There is currently screen on/off profiles as well as a set on boot option. There is also a widget that displays the current settings as well as the battery temp. The battery temp doesn't show up when the widget is first enabled but will after the app is opened again or the phone is rebooted.
Mainly I need to make sure the cpu speeds and governors lists are populated on other devices. Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

V1.5
Fixed force close if phone is rebooted before app has been opened for first time or if app is pre-installed in a rom
Fixed issue where screen off/on settings would get mixed up if you opened app immediately after waking phone

CPUBoostLite1.1
V1.0
Overclocking app
widget to show settings
screen on/off profile
set at boot option

Obviously there are other options already availble for this but I thought I would start with something simple for a first app. I appreciate any testing and feedback. This app does have some adds in it. If anybody has other rooted android phones to test this on that would be alot of help too.

The widget also displays the battery temp once you open the app or reboot the phone. I am still working on that little bug.

Tried downloading onto my rooted MT4G. Did not work. "There was a problem parsing the package."


That error was during install? I have updated the app to v1.5 and updated first post. If you could try that one and let me know it would be great....
 
I downloaded to my HUAWEI today. Idon't see a widget. phone off and on still no widget

Did you download from here or from the market? I have not updated the op but this app is now in the market. The widget should show up under longpress on homescreen/choose widgets/cpu boost...let me know if your running this version posted or the updated version in market. Thanks...
 
It installed on mine but no idea what speeds I should have it set on or if it does anything. I'm using an LG Optimus GT540 updated to android 2.1 Any advice?
