What OverClocking Settings are you using?

Loads more control. There's more to overclocking than just the CPU speed, the scaling governor is something like to change, as well as profiles. You can configure the CPU scaling so that it saves battery, but still goes faster when you need it to.

I would recommend this kernel. Use v3.5, legend source based. It's near the bottom. I use the 787MHz version, some go higher. I would recommend 787MHz as a good starting point. The good thing about v3.5 is that it has the interactive scaling governor, which strikes a good balance between battery life and speed.

Now, I'm sorry to say it, but you're gonna need to use Google to find out more about this, it's all out there. But if you don't want to then use the kernel I recommended and don't bother with setCPU

What ROM are you using?

Another possible reason is thus:

All chipsets are different. I get reboots at anything above 787MHz, when the CPU just freezes up. Some people's phones can clock up to 844MHz and still be completely stable. It's just the way these things go, and inherent in the manufacturing process of these processors. If 787MHz doesn't work for you then you may need to go down to the 768MHz version. If you still have no joy then bad luck, no overclock for you. Sorry

another question. i thinks it's best to install setcpu to save battery, so can you tell me your setcpu profile settings

do i need to tick set on boot button?

thanks for all this bro

screen off: 245/400MHz, interactive

My main profile is 245/787MHz, interactive

Not unless you change the main profile (page with the 2 sliders)

p.d.: my rom is azure 1.0.1
Same as me, not sure why you get forced reboots then, sorry. Unless you have a really weak chipset

thanks for all this bro
No problem. But do try to use Google and the search functions of the forum. All the information I've given is out there.

Hi folks,

I'm now running a faster Legend on 806. Thanks for all workers and supporters.

But I have still a little question: Do I need to set profiles with SetCPU if I'm running v3.5, interactiv? Is there any andvantage for my battery or something? It seems like the clock is automatically between 245 and 806.
For example, does my clock goes higher if the screen is of and there is a syncronization, or something other to do for my Legend, if I not use SetCPU and profiles?

EDIT: And if I use SetCPU, do I have to set it to "ondemand" or "interactiv" on the main screen?

I have Azure 1.01 Ali Ba version and Kernel3.5 at 806MHz and It works very well.I've tried at 825MHz and the system hanged.But 806MHz is good for me.

Good alternative is the overclock widget, works good!:)

Guys,


I have a quick question,


Currently my Legend is running on 787Mhz. However i would like to overclock it to 806Mhz.


So, what must i do ? Do i have to wipe the 787Mhz.zip file, then install 806Mhz.zip file ?


Will be waiting for anyone advice

Just flash the 806 over it, it'll delete the old kernel anyway.
