Nice. Do you have a breakdown of your usage during the test? That is, how much was 100 200 400 etc. that could be informative as well

crap forgot to get that info! Sorry!

NP, tomorrow I will attempt to do a similar test and try to get these figures myself. No promises though

Hard to say what is most used. I think a lot of guys are just at the stock Ghz with voodoo. Most cannot and do not do 1250LV. 1100SV also seems rarely used. So yeah the top 3 seem to be 11 and 12 LV and 12SV; what the order is I have no idea. As always just gotta find the one which works for you.

oh boy...after a week or so i got bored with the stock setup (stayed there a while because during an attempt to uninstall voodoo and go back to stock.....i messed up.....
so i once again installed CWM, i see now there's a 1250LV kernel....so of course i had to try, honestly mine was rock solid with all the 1200 kernels so far so i felt i had a gem device...and i was right
rock solid so far anyways:
Short Bench 180ms
Long Bench 594ms
Native Bench C:657ms NEON:257ms
Linpack 10.441 MFLOPS in 8 seconds
Quadrant 2094 on conservative scaling....for whatever reason my score never changes with performance scaling
and this thing is noticeably faster.....much faster than the 1200 D01 kernels before

Not surprised you could not resist the temptation
Im envious of you, I cannot run the 1250LV myself

so where are things with boot animation? i loaded the one with that option, but cant seem to find much discussion on the topic and sources for known working boot animations...

If you got the D02 kernel you should have the peeing droid right? For start up? As long as you keep the kernel which is now enabled to have boot screens you can put any compatible bootzip in your data/local folder with RE and you're GTG. Also shutdown screens are in system/media/video/shutdown. Apparently you can tinker with those png's and customize whatever the heck you want. D13 is the in-the-know man on this stuff, try and hit him up or cruise over to xda there is a thread or three on this stuff there. Im going to tinker with shutdown anim tonight myself and will report back. Im working on a long post about some things I learned about Quadrant right now or I'd probably take the time to hunt all the links down for you
Well after trying almost all of these kernels, I have finally settled on the 1000LV believe it or not. I gave up on all those benchmark tests, and this one has been stable and I get better battery life. So I think I'll stick with this for now anyway. I'd rather have better battery life than high performance, and so far it's been more than fast enough to run everything I need with no lag.

And thats a really good choice. Honestly, when cruising thru the app drawer or texting or most things on this device I cannot tell much difference between 1000 and 1200. Quite honestly [and I did some testing with 800mhz today too] even that sometimes is hard to tell. Battery life would be stellar at 800Mhz with an undervolted kernel and honestly performance loss in real world eyes would be barely perceptible

no, i have no boot animation after flashing the D02 1250LV kernel.....i have the stock sound....but nothing on screen, blackness
i also do not have either directory you guys mention, neither /data/local nor /system/media

Hmmm... I realized that most of the overclocked kernels barely go to its max potential anyway, right? I mean, aren't you supposed to keep your phone on conservative for the most reliable and stable OS? If so, then setcpu keeps the phone at 800mhz right? Granted, there are moments when I put it on performance and OC, but that doesn't happen often. Just a random thought at the moment. What are you all thinking?

i did some reading on the setCPU website and read the entire page....it goes into detail about the advanced settings and the scaling conservative vs. performance, etc...
setCPU will not ramp up to your max set clock speed until the load on the processor is at least 90% or greater by default and will drop to the minimum at or below 30% load
if you run a cpu intensive benchmark, this will undoubtedly demand >90% cpu which will kick in the max speed of....whatever you have loaded and slider set to....you can see this in the Info tab in setCPU, scroll down and make note of how long it says your phone has been running at the top speed, then hit stress test in the top right....wait a minute or so, hit the back arrow, then look at the time spent at speeds again.....you will see it spent basically all of its time at the top speed

Again, it could be that I'm really abusive towards my phone, but I was getting quite frustrated with how slow it was last night. Turned out setCPU was at 800, either I rebooted and don't remember or maybe Autokiller got to it...? Back to 1200 and life was good again. So yeah, ideally everyone should do their own testing. On that note, I haven't tried the 1250, why mess with a good thing I figure? Seems like such a small increase. But maybe I'd notice, being such a smartphone sadist.
You're not crazy, I have D02 LV1200 and I just have a black screen with the stock sound. I haven't tried messing with the boot animations.

James app are you using to search for these with. Root Explorer is the best one to get and use. They are there, they have to be. I used to use the free Astro and it does show system/media but it does not show data/local. Get yourself Root Explorer I cannot believe I did a month with my SF without it.

Not just the OC kernels but even the phone out of the box will only use the full Ghz if needed. I do use Conservative setting of course for battery purposes. Actually if the phone is asleep or even just on not doing anything its on just 100Mhz most of the time if you set it that low which I do and is default. If you go into SetCPU and watch the timers in the Info Tab you'll see after a few second of inactivity the 100Mhz is the most used setting and the 200 is next, 400 barely moves

Once you know 100% for sure that you are good to go with a certain speed you can then turn on the set cpu on boot check mark and never worry about sliding the sliders after boot again. I continue to not use them even though I know Im GTG with 1200LV. But I know many people who do use the set on boot check

Hmmm, I thought Dirrk put the peeing Droid in his D02 kernels but he just enabled the use of bootanim's. If you are like me you keep kernels on your sdcard. Before the D02 was out I already had jt's 2 with bootanimation in the title. Put those on sdcard [all my kernels are in a folder called kernels]. Then using Root Explorer I took out the .zip and put in both data/local and system/media. It didnt take but once I flashed D02 it did. I guess I assumed Dirrk just put them in the way jt did but hearing you guys now maybe he didnt. If you do it my way though it should be good to go for you if they're not in there from Dirrk

....yeah, i dont know if it is supposed to be there or not, but i still have the black screen with stock sound boot
i did it with an ADB push command which still did not work, sounds like there are several people in my same situation....oh well, not a big deal, i'll fool with it sometime

I saw your post at xda too. Hopefully someone has a response there. I think I saw in another thread here you use Astro, which cannot do this [now admittedly the adb should have taken care of it]. But for the future, may I highly recommend you actually get RootExplorer. That was/is the only thing I have and used to move the bootanim's over myself. So while the adb push should have worked maybe give RE a try.
