unfunnyryan Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-overclock-motorola-droid-to-1ghz-9140391/ I'm running 950mhz stable The difference is incredible. All menus are truly smooth, apps running like never before. Its like sex with a really really hot dead hooker. You do need root and adb and superuser access... but if you don't have that already, wtf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thats way too dangerous, but lots of people claim to run them at a stable 1.1ghz. I just think that running a 600mhz CPU that high isnt a good idea without extra cooling. They are running the nexus at 1.3ghz but its not very stable yet. PS: Got the new nexus OTA update yesterday, google apps (browser, maps and Gallery) now have multitouch, and some other improvements and add ons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 On one forum, a TI engineer stated that it can be run at higher frequencies, but 600mhz was just the most energy efficient and seemed to give the longest life (as in, 10+ years) I'm not really worried about running 950mhz. Only problem is I had to patch the wifi to get it to work again. also, fuck your nexus for getting 2.1 before all the droid owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah wifi and bluetooth seems to be the first to give you problems with mods like that. Lol, I was running cyanogen's rom on my nexus and had to unroot, install OTA and then re-root, bit of a PITA. But this stock rom is solid, I cant think of anything that could be improved besides the keyboard. I just installed the HTC keyboard and its better, but looks like crap because it was designed for a lower resolution phone. I'm sure there will be a 2.1update1 ROM for droid soon enough, if not already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 So how much battery life do you sacrifice for the overclocking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 So how much battery life do you sacrifice for the overclocking? Negligible, since I have it set to underclock its self when the screen is off. If I know I am going to be on it a long time, and want to maximize battery life, I can always underclock on the fly if I want to. SetCPU FTW!

unfunnyryan Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thats really hard to say. Depends on your usage, what you are doing, whether you are using 3g/wifi.. Of course you are going to get lower battery life if its overclocked and you are actively using it.. But I am able to charge my phone often enough that it doesn't matter.

Just curious on average how much you personally get. I get 3 days on my blackberry but it has an oversized battery. I am using it constantly. I probably text 1 hour a day, browse the internet at least 30 minutes, and over 4-5 hours of listening of mp3s over bluetooth headset.

You'd be lucky if you got a day out of it. Actually I take that back, you would probably get a day out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinwebb Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Not hating but I just don't see the point no apps will require any faster CPU to perform better and you aren't encoding movies or looking for ET on your phone so what's the point?

CRed05 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 A work day or 24 hour day? I'd say 12hours. This is what I would get from real heavy use of my G1, and a little bit better with my Nexus. But with average use I could go over 24hrs.

A key note here, is that unlike iPhones, android devices WILL get flash, and the wait is not that far off. And when it comes out I will overclock my phone farther to take full advantage of meatspin.

unfunnyryan Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 When 2.1 comes out (or when I put 2.1 firmware on my phone, whichever comes first) I am going to convert meatspin to a gif and do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
