SetCPU won't allow over 1000.

I see people writing about setting their Xoom CPU to 1504MHz and higher, but mine won't allow anything above 1000. Am I missing some setting in SetCPU?

Are you running a custom ROM or kernel that supports overclocking? If you're not then 1000 is your max cpu speed. If you are, then what ROM/kernel are you running?

I'm running the rooted stock ICS ROM. I thought maybe because it was a ROM it would allow overclocking. I suppose I'd have to run Tiamat or something like that to get overclocking. Not sure I'm up for the reinstall.

Thanks

yes you have to be running a custom kernel which you will not find with the stock rom. Other wise just use the profiles with setcpu those help with battery life even on the stock rom.

I think you can just flash the latest Eos kernel and leave your rom stock. If you have one of the custom recoveries, it's easy.
