Root SetCPU/ Milestone Overclock best practice settings

Milestone came in yesterday so I had to overclock it of course ! Used Milestone Overclock with 950/56 and the improvement in "CPU Benchmark" is substantial, 960ms down from 1699ms! "View Online Results" doens't seem to work, any good apps that let you compare your results ?

Forget about benchmarks and enjoy your fast and smooth Milestone. Benchmarks mean nothing in the world of various CPUs and benchmarks that are built for one CPU or another.

Very true, and yes when the Milestone is overclocked it works seamlessly!
 
hehe...950/56 and running fine here, now if only I could get it to connect to my AdHoc network...started another topic about that !

Nice thats good to hear you got that part sorted out... As for the wi-fi one I saw that but don't know the answer I have my own headache issue with ports and a router I'm still trying to figure out lol :S sigh

Market search for Barnacle Wifi. Works as long as you have root. Check it!!
 
Nope Barnacle only helps to CREATE an AdHoc network using the Data connection of an Android smartphone, not to join an existing network. It was mentioned else the other day so I tried it just in case and confirmed this.
 
SetCPU devs have politely asked that only xda subscribers take advantage of the free use of the app and would like users of the app to direct non-xda subscribers to the market to donate and download. just passing that along for the dev. community, they do alot for us.

Regardless you should help out the developers. Don't get me wrong I'm down for free stuff but serious a few bucks wont kill you to donate! When I first started using the Launcher Pro I liked it so much I bought the Launcher Pro Plus even though I wouldn't be using the portion it unlocked but enjoyed the fact that the developer still was supporting his app and updating it regularly. Take heed in purchasing apps though as some are garbage and you only waste your money. However it is only a couple of bucks same as bus fare one way! Also what did you just spend on your phone?
 
Wife has a Milestone. Just OC'ed it to 1000@56 and it seems stable. Good thing about keeping the voltage is that the battery won't drain faster. Has anyone's been able to go beyond 1000 and still keep vsel at 56?

Thanks!
 
I have just overclocked my milestone but am unable to reduce the VSEL from the default 74 for 1000 MHz. Can someone help me and tell me how I can reduce it via Milestone Overclock or SetCPU? Would appreciate your help!!

In ilestone Overclock press Menu an go to Settings. In there you can set your own parameters. If you want these parameters yto be applied go back to Milestone Overclock and drag the bar to the very end, that is where the setting you set up in settings is.
 
What are the STABLE values for an 1000 Milestone overclock?

EDIT: Im using Cronos Froyo 1.6.1 ROM right?, in Recovery GOT, i go to 2.2.1 menu > Overclock menu ???

Because i did that, and put 900 mhz/56 and the phone did not Boot, it stucks on the white M logo, then when normally will appear Cronos boot animation, it reboots and again white M... in a loop x.X

How do i overclock in Cronos Froyo 1.6.1 ROM??? Recovery GOT overclock menu doesnt work with this rom?
 
I'd try VSEL of at least 60. I know people claim 56.

HONO once released a 1100mhz overclock at 62. While 62 caused some reboots from time to time, I boosted it to 66. Even then I noticed maybe 30% higher number of FCs. When I boosted it to 68, it finally went away.

I think while 60 was ok, I'd probably run 62 or so for 24/7 stability.
 
I have been using 900MHz at 56 for a very long tim eon GOT 2.2.1 and before that. Never a reboot.

Make sure that in GOT recovery you choose the right system before you aply changes.
 
I didn't notice any performance benefit using 1Ghz @ vsel 56

I personally use 550Mhz @ vsel 56 / interactive

echo 56 > /proc/overclock/max_vsel
echo 550000 > /proc/overclock/max_rate
echo "1 400000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table
echo "4 400000000 46" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "2 250000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table
echo "3 250000000 32" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "3 125000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table
echo "2 125000000 26" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
