Ok I have searched and searched this site and found some threads on overclocking however what I see is different ways to do it which involve flashing a custom rom which I do not want to do now that I have Froyo. I have seen some things about frequency voltage file on the phone which I am not sure where it is located. Also there is some mention of SetCPU which some people say its good and others say no do not use it. I could not change the settings either on setCPU to make a difference. Is there 1 specific way to overclock the captivate for total n00b's like myself?

You will not be able to overclock it without a custom kernel. See the thread for my kernel in the development subforum, or the Cognition ROM if you decide you do want a custom ROM. Cognition also add some nice things, like the Mobile AP feature that AT&T removes from their ROMs.

I'm so tired from sub-8 hour sleep nights...so, I admit, I'm being a bit lazy and this is prob a stupid question, but...using Cog 2.1.7, which has your most recent kernal, is device over-clocked by default, or do I have to mod the table (s) referred to in your posts?
I do have the Cognition 2.2 Beta. At this point though I think I am going to just not worry about it. Froyo actually made my phone faster than before so besides the fact that it would just be for status it does not seem worthwhile to me.
if you are running FroYo, then you cannot overclock at this time, as there has not been any kernel releases to support it yet.
Ug... I've run out of stuff to do since Froyo... lol Anyone come up with a celtic/tribal dialer skin?
I've read a bunch of stuff about the lack of a cyanogenmod and oc kernels for the Captivate and I'd like to hear your opinion about why they aren't developing for that particular Galaxy S model when there seems to be tons of stuff for the Vibrant.
I'm fairly noobish myself but I know we need a custom kernel to overclock and according to one of the replies to your post, there are no kernels for the Captivate yet. We'll just have to wait until the dev's get around to it but don't ask them when that will be, they don't like that. Maybe we should have gotten a Vibrant...
You can use unhelpfuls hernel or setiroNs. The seti kernel is overclocked by default. I really didnt notice any difference when overclocked. I would say its not needed much. But anyhow yes there are a few kernels for captivate that overclock. Sure they are really for I9000 but they do work for us.
LOL. i love it when people dredge up old threads. a month ago, we didnt have any oc/uv options for 2.2. now we have reoriented i9000 kernels that work beautifully.
to answer your question MoonPieDave, there is NO source released for the captivate 2.2 kernel AT THIS TIME. once source is released, you will see an onslaught of kernel options from the devs, but until then, we will have to live with reoriented kernels and hacks to get the most out of our systems.

Overclock Widget
There is an app called Coverlock Widget. Will it work on the Captivate?
