Root overclocking questions about cyanogenmod

[chanswer]

whats up friends

running cyanogenmod 7 nightly 21. works well. but i have a question about overclocking....

with cm7 i notice the settings for overclocking in CM settings menu.

Which one of these are best? Ondemand...blah blah blah.

Further....will installing a overclocking app help at all? I tried overclocking widget but idk how well it's really helping out....can't tell a real difference. please help..this is pissing me off!

ONE MORE THING!

Is anyone else having huge battery issues lately? Plugged in for 2 hrs at times (car and AC) and only shows I have a 15% charge. Should I update the rom, or is that even addressed in any of the newer builds?

Thanks fellas.

On-demand is generally considered the most responsive of the 'basic' governors for general use, unless you use an alternative kernel.

It's definitely not advised to use both, as overclocking with two different methods will at best lead to CPU confusion and at worst a thrashed battery and poor performance as each strive to be 'top dog'.

A useful rule-of-thumb when changing to a new ROM is to recalibrate the software 'battery gauge' by charging fully when off then booting into recovery and wiping battery stats before using the handset. This often corrects erroneous usage data and might make a difference in this case.
