SetCPU for Android

[DeeBG]

I'm sure almost all (if not all) of you that have obtained root on your Incredible (which this app requires) know what this app is and possibly have even used it in the past. There doesn't appear to be any Incredible specific modifications made to the app yet, but I just wanted to throw this out there. As always, be VERY careful with overclocking, esp. with this CPU (I personally wouldn't try anything over 1.2ghz). If you feel your phone getting hot, don't keep running it! Also neither the author, XDA or I take any responsibility in the case that you toast your Incredible.

I thought we'd need a modded kernel to run it over 1.2 Ghz? How can we do that with just rooting the phone and installing setcpu?

Or I'm way off and I have no idea what I'm thinking lol..

no, you are correct. i have built the kernel (HTC release) w/ the required changes. but have not been able to flash

Wow I wasn't aware of the kernel limits, or maybe I subconsciously read it somewhere since I threw 1.2ghz out there (over the last couple weeks I've been dealing with a cold I can't seem to shake so I blame a combination of insomnia+Nyquil... mmm Nyquil).

Id say its worth some green to get that kernel. I have been looking high and low to find one. seems that the demand is there but not the development. Let me know if you get it up and running and I'll donate to the cause.

Just wish I could develop it at this point, but getting the phone rooted was a task for me. Even with video instructions....
