Interestingly, after some tweaking, messing around, and other stuff, I managed to score over 2200 at 768mhz. I'm getting some nice smooth performance out of it while underclocked, and getting it to do things quicker means it'll save that much more battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] melgibson666:
What exactly did you tweak and mess around with? Cause that's sounds pretty nice.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I'm not really sure, to be honest. I was mostly tweaking personal preferences, then messing with governors on the CPU. While comparing governors, the number kept climbing until it broke 2200 then fell back to just under 2200. I double checked my CPU clock settings to make sure I was still at 768mhz. I haven't really done any further testing. I suspect part of it may be JIT optimizations, but I'm not sure.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] melgibson666:
Yea I was messing around with the different govenors after reading your post and I noticed a big difference between the power saver and ONdemand. Power saver makes the transitions a little sluggish but I guess that's to be expected for what it's trying to do. lol All in all though the battery life on ondemand is leaps and bounds ahead of the stock ROM I'm running a 1.1ghz clock right now and it is like butter with battery life to boot.

Damn sorry bro I got a 2900 while on the phone lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
Using the same rom ? or others ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Power save will not ramp up. It is designed to keep the clock as low as possible. This means keeping it at the minimum configured CPU frequency.

There's a few good posts around in other forums that explains how the governors work. I'll go ahead and explain them.

Interactive: Fast ramp up, slow ramp down.

Conservative: Slow ramp up, fast ramp down.

Userspace: Currently useless.

Powersave: Minimum configured frequency only.

On Demand: Fast ramp up, fast ramp down.

Performance: Maximum configured frequency only.

Fast ramp up/down: Steps to max or min immediately rather than stepping through available frequencies.

Slow ramp up/down: Steps through available frequencies.

For best balance, ondemand is a good option. For best usability without punishing your battery, interactive is good. Personally, I'm finding conservative to be good for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I think I figured out what was going on. I found some wonky behavior with using setcpu with the current version of CM7. I didn't realize CM7 now has CPU management features so I used setcpu first. However, after setting up setcpu with profiles, I found a lot of odd behavior, including with quadrant scores. It seems setcpu and the included CPU management didn't get along well and I suspect one of them was setting my CPU clock to 1ghz instead of 768mhz.

Setcpu is now deinstalled and everything stabilized. I'm now getting 1800+ at 768mhz pretty consistently, rather than ~2200.

2129 @ 768

3726 @ 1.8

This is freakin awesome.. now i have to try to use the phone more normally so i can check out and compare battery life
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
In the past my commute to work ate 20-30% battery. This included streaming, maps, bluetooth to car stereo, etc. Today I found only about 13% drained. I plan to do more comparing. That was with 768mhz with conservative governor.

Right now I'm playing with 1.5ghz overclock with conservative governor.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
wow!! that's a really nice improvement.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
Got 2777 at 1.2ghz.

A Bit Off-Topic But: Who ever's using 1.4ghz oc on CM7, what average battery life are you getting? I'm at 1.2ghz but want to go to about 1.4. Right now I lose 5% an hour idle.

Also another quick question, does anyone elses battery cover feel a bit loose?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Stemage:
Is it possible to overclock the stock kernel? I'm really liking your scores, but SetCPU seems unable to overclock the standard kernel over 1024mhz, nor does it give me the option to run any scaling other than ondemand, userspace, and performance. (note: SetCPU has achieved root, and perflock is disabled).

I would be interested in trying a new kernel, but I was hoping to stay with stock and not go with CM7 if that is an option. If there's a simple kernel I can install that rocks, but it hasn't been mentioned on this forum it seems.

Right now I'm running 1427 stock rooted, no surprise. ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
I was using 1.4 and my battery lasted a whole day easily. My battery cover feels loose, makes the phone feel kinda cheap.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
@TB13 Alright thanks, I'm going to switch it up to 1.4 now. Yeah when I first got the phone it felt amazing now it feels kinda cheap due to the cover :/
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:

1657 now with the same ROM with battery charge at 100/100 . My bettery cant make more than one day and some hours , with this rom .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Unless you have something running and requiring high clocks, you bumped the minimum clock up, or are using performance setting, your idle battery loss shouldn't change much.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Boogersugar83:
Wow this is awesome!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lagos3sgte:
Cyanogen rom using an overclocked kernel? I'm trying to understand how I can achieve a score of 2259 on their rom, but the stock rom only gives me around 1200-1400. The frame rates of each of the roms during the test seem about the same too, so its kind of odd that one kernel performs so much better than the stock one.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
2D and 3D performance isn't the only thing being used to calculate the score. Integer, floating point, memory, storage, and other things are being measured as well. Having a bloated android database will slow down db usage and lower the score. Having unoptimized binaries will also affect the score. Chances are the improvements in database and storage alone is what bumped the score up most.

That's good. During the week I am between the office and home where I have a charger available at all times, so having a crazy long battery isn't really important to me unless I travel, which is rare. That's the thing I like about SetCPU, you can change it on the fly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jkhonea:
Sorry, had this in the wrong section before.

I pulled down the files and flashed in that were linked in jcase's links. Superuser works great. Busybox is good to go. Wireless tether comes on and shows root access but the computer can't connect to it at all. Connection error each time. And now the 3G Mobile Hotspot with the applied DUN hack doesn't work either for wireless tether.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

To be clear, i did flash in the inc2 zip referenced by jcase specifically for the wireless tether. Forgot to mention that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
It works for me. I downloaded Wireless Tether from the source.

Are you trying to connect on Windows, Mac, or Linux?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jkhonea:
Trying to connect on a Windows 7 machine. I pulled the Wireless Tether app from the source also. Wonder if I grabbed the wrong version. Let me check your link.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jkhonea:
Tried the Mac and Windows side of the computer and neither could hook into it. I made sure PDANet was uninstalled from before, then reinstalled the Wireless Tether from your link. Still no good.

This one has me scratching my head a little bit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
Wireless tether is buggy on most phones. The drivers on your computers end can complicate things too. Just keep turning on and off access controls in the tether app as well as cycling WiFi in your computer and it should eventually connect.

Carelessly swyped on my phone so there may be some weird words

I've tried in charge only mode and HTC Sync mode and neither seem to be recognized by cmd. The HTC Sync software opens when I connect the phone in HTC Sync mode so I would assume the drivers are installed correctly. Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] androidxen:
Should HTC Sync be opening? :confused: I think you're supposed to uninstall HTC Sync, but leave the drivers. AlphaRevX provided a link to the drivers only, so it might be easier to just completely uninstall everything and then reinstall the provided driver instead.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
I know it doesn't seem very practical, but you have to already have CWM on the phone in order to flash the rooted kernal and install the SU app. Without that, rom manager will be unable to attain root permissions. Is that the error you are getting? If so, follow the guide in the op to flash CWM manually. And if you already have CWM, check out the newly added step 7 in the op, which links to an explanation on how to get SU and busybox installed.

Download this recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134520

BTW, if you havn't installed fastboot, download it here.

http://developer.htc.com/adp.html

1.First rename your android sdk folder to "sdk" just like that. Dont use quotation marks on anything fyi.

2.Next step is to move the sdk folder to your home folder.

3.Move adb, fastboot, and the recovery image from the link above into the tools folder of the sdk.

4.Open up terminal and type or copy this in there.

"cd sdk/tools" hit enter.

5. "./adb kill-server" hit enter.

6. "./adb start-server" hit enter. should look something this. (below)

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

7. "./fastboot" hit enter.

8. "./fastboot flash recovery cwm-recovery-vivow.img" hit enter

give it some time to flash.

9. "./fastboot reboot" hit enter

10."./fastboot adb reboot recovery" hit enter

And there you go, wait for your phone to reboot and what not and you should have CWM installed. I would immediately do a nandroid of the stock rom. after that i didnt bother messing with superuser on stock froyo because who the hell wants to be on froyo!?(: lol, so i installed the GB ota rooted version with superuser already because its very stable....found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161411 as i wait for a stable version of rewind:),you can then install and update CWM through rom manager to the current version once you've done this.
