Nice work mate..... bra jobbet :D

Will give it a spin'n let ya know
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
A guide for noobs thanks to xuni89!

Well I'm new at this and this is how I went about doing it. This is for people who are extremely new and don't know what the hell is going on. My first guide ever... But I hope it will help!

Applications you need to download Etc..

*Download SetCpu 2.24 at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

*ALSO Figure out your phone kernel. r3v0Lut10n said: to figure out the kernel of your phone go: settings > about phone > software > other (bandwith, kernel ...)

Now on step for Temp-root Overclocking:

1. Install HTC sync to your computer, and uninstall it. or another way is download the Naked HTC USB DRIVER: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1161769

- You will need to do this to enable usb debugging onto your phone

2. Go to your phone: Settings > Application > Development. Turn on USB debugging

3. Connect your phone to your computer via USB. You should see USB Debugging Enabled Icon on your phone if its working.

4. Download the Temp root with overclock file given in this thread and extract it

6. After extracting the file open up overclock modules, find the same number as your kernel and copy/drag it then to the base folder (where the adb.exe and the rest of the files are).

7. It should now autopush/autocopy the setcpu file on your sdcard! No need to this manually anymore!

8. Now all you do is run Easy Fre3vo (Start).bat, or if you want the undervolted 1.5g version open up 1,5ghz undervolted folder and copy Easy Fre3vo (Start) 1,5ghz undervolt.bat to the base folder and run it.

9. After its done, (wait 15 seconds? I didn't do this step still works haha.) before pressing anything on your keyboard. the cmd prompt should close and your done!

10. To check if your OC is working, open up SetCpu you should see your max at 1512 if you OC for 1.5.
[HTC Sensation] exc4lib3r:
anybody have quadrant scores?
[HTC Sensation] djcedric:
yes please run a benchmark and post results :) thanks
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Mine has always been slow, but i got much more with overclock! 2200 in quadrant, and went from 78 to 95 in linpack multi, 48 to 58 single. :)

I had one reboot while doing quadrant though, so i don't think mine likes it =/
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Did it work okay for you guys?
[HTC Sensation] eggyenergy:
for me after a few minutes it goes back to 1188 mhz from 1512 mhz D: what's wrong?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Hmm, it does that for me too, until setcpu asks for root access again, then it goes back up, try setting it as a profile!
[HTC Sensation] juangil:
any chances of getting this for us Mac users?:o

Thanks!!
[HTC Sensation] eggyenergy:
trying as profile, i'll let you know.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Can you please check if this works for mac? i don't own one myself :)

http://www.2shared.com/file/zhRAezYq/temp_root_with_overclock_mac.html
[HTC Sensation] juangil:
I'll sure do!! thanks

EDIT:

I got Permission Denied
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
When you use setcpu, did you all use setcpu.txt?
[HTC Sensation] dubt17:
Ok, so I used this and it worked great for a while, everything seemed as if it was working, then when I open up setcpu and point it to the txt file, it shows my Max at 1900000 but even when I select performance, the speed is still only 1188 MHz
[HTC Sensation] AlexIvasuc:
Does browsing still lag?
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
You have a typo on the T-Mobile US module (there is a space before .ko in the file name), so it currently has to be dragged and then renamed to work.

Also the overclock script caused me to crash and reboot like right away.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Hmm, ill upload a fix later. I had one reboot too, but was it with 1,8 overclock? Did you wait 15 seconds before pushing next key? It works 100% with mine, even with a factory reset :)

The setcpu file was something i threw together while heading out the door :)
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Second try worked, but failed on Quadrant in performance mode. Was with the 1728 or whatever stepping that was. Will fall back to 1500 for now.
[HTC Sensation] rldev:
I'm stuck at 528 max in setcpu. Ran the 1.8 root.
[HTC Sensation] hendr1k:
it seem setCpu not always stick with super user, not really sure there is no command to see scale cpu when device is turn off. otherwise we can see if setCPU is working properly.

any one know if current widget works properly, I am using current widget and it show my device always 200+ma.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I have seen that despite using a setcpu profile for screen off, my phone just drains itself anyways. I choose 380 mhz powersave and 100 priority for screen off.

[HTC Sensation] Hussainally:
Guys need some help here.followed the guide but.my phone.keeps.rebooting after finishing the process

Please help
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
This may seem silly but have you checked the Enable box on the profile screen? You should have a tick next to the profile you created and a tick at the top of Profiles screen next to Enable.

This is a mistake I made. Also, you're still gonna loose battery, just a lot slower.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Which overclock are you using? The phone will reboot if your going too high. Try using the underclocks, starting at 1.5Ghz. Then work up from there. Not all phones support overclocks up to 1.8Ghz.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
A solution for this would be to go into the Superuser application and turn off notifications. I had this happening when i have profiles enabled. It's perfectly normal.
[HTC Sensation] Hussainally:
i used the 1.5ghz undervolted.However when i used Easy Fre3vo it was all good but setcpu does not show 1.5ghz.Still shows the same old 1000mhz?????
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Hang on, let's go back a second here.

The 1.5ghz undervolt .bat file contains the Easy Free3vo temp root. You only need to run that bat file and that will both temp root your phone and overclock it.

Follow these steps:

Turn off Fast Boot in the Power settings

Turn off your phone

Remove the battery

Put it all together again

Boot your phone up

Plug your phone into your computer

Put the setcpu.txt file into the main directory of your sdcard.

Change back to Charge Only

Run 1.5Ghz Undervolt (start).bat

Once it finishes, wait 15 seconds before pressing any key to close the prompt window.

Open SetCPU and you should see your device at 1.5Ghz.

I've followed those steps many many times and never had a problem once.

Dont forget to put your kernal file in the main directory as well, where the adb and .bat file is held.
[HTC Sensation] Hussainally:
thanks so much mate...will follow the above to the letter and report back.Cheers

after running the file it goes all the way till installing superuser then it says success and it then just stops there?????
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Yes, that's correct. It should say press any key to continue, at which point you wait for 15seconds, press a key, load up setcpu and u should be overclocked and rooted.
[HTC Sensation] Hussainally:
it only says success ,not press anykey to continue...so sorry to trouble you guys....am a total noob,but am a keen learner

yes yes ...perfect it worked....thanks so much guys....so happy...cheers...going for some beers now...cheers
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Hmmm.

Open SetCPU and press the menu button on your phone, select Device Selection, click on auto detect (recommended)... Now what do you see?
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Ah congrats. Now you can set up some profiles to give you better battery life.

Those are the profiles I use. Battery is a billion times better
[HTC Sensation] Hussainally:
why is my quadrant score not much different...only 2283??
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
I get the same on 1.8 Ghz undervolt..
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
You have to push the min & max to the highest value with SetCPU before doing some benchmark to avoid latency.

I'm on 1,5GHz undervolted and I hit 2400 in Quadrant.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
I don't think this is normal. Why would it have to be given permission several times within a few minutes while I type something. I only have a screen of profile and charging profile. When I'm typing, there is no change of profiles so it shouldnt be calling for access.

Something isn't quite right with this system yet I don't think. I used SetCPU on my HD2 for a long time, and never once did I see this.
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
Awesome guide worked great! running at 1.5 ghz these are a couple of my benchmarks
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
How are people getting such HIGH scores with just 1.5Ghz?! I am running 1.8Ghz and cannot do that well.

I also feel something isnt right. I see large battery drain despite screen off being set to 384Mhz with power save on! What gives?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
Well I also don't use sense 3.0 and have bloatware/frozen apps left and right also using profiles in setcpu plus lowering your screen brightness helps on the battery drain
[HTC Sensation] mycomputerisjunk:
Been reading through the posts on this and something does not seem right. I have a bone stock sensation and Linpack will score low to mid 70s for me. I have also never seen SuperUser keep asking for root permissions on an app. Once and done.

I would also point out that paying for SystemPanel is worth it. Because, you would see that setting profiles for something like screen off is useless as the cpu clocks to almost nothing when the screen is off by default.

I also see quite a few users just dismissing quadrant is being inaccurate. Maybe, but I think we will really start to see performance gains when devs start re-compiling the kernel from source.
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
I see your point in what your saying. I'm curious to wonder how quadrant is inaccurate and I cant wait for custom kernels with a nice clean rom
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
I'm also wondering of oc to 1.8 ghz besides battery drain and chance of deep frying my snapdragon. Is it really that dangerous? Is it the safest you can oc without problems or is it too pushy?
[HTC Sensation] markrodocker:
Ok, I've done this process over 10 + times exactly like it says and each time the set CPU sliders show 1.7ghz however the quadrant standard score never changes. No matter which way I set the CPU sliders nothing changes. I have followed the steps EXACTLY every time and used the correct module. I am using a Sensation on t-mobile USA	network. Anyone having the same issue?

Mark
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
Have you tried clearing memory with a task manager or removed some bloatware?
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
I don't think quadrant is accurate either. I get very similar scores with both 1.5 & 1.8.
[HTC Sensation] Hussainally:
My battery life has improved dramatically with 1.5 ghz settings and the setcpu profiles.Finally live wallpapers will be on 24/7.Yippie
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Good to hear hussain! :) also you should download battery history for gb, i did and found out htc watch was keeping the phone from idling, now it drops 1% in an hour standby instead of 5% :) also the setcpu asking for root access is nothing to worry about, my phone is at least a lot smoother, this is far more important than any benchmark to me :)

[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Zeegerman, it should be fine, just keep an eye on those temperatures ;)

Utking.....You Rock
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Post the market link for this app plz dude
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Oh, my bad, you can download it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13328125

Check under partial wake usage or something :)
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
try setting both up to full and set the scaling to performance, what is the speed setcpu shows then?
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Utking, I dont see anything untoward here...
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Good for you then :p on mine htc watch was on top, and the blue bar was full!

Bugged up **** :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
I'm guessing this starts from when the program is installed, it don't pick up history, ill make another analysis this evening, after a days usage.
[HTC Sensation] Hussainally:
I seem to always have gun bros running on the background under task manager running services.When I stop it ,after a while it automatically restarts itself under running services.How do I permanently disable it?
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Install titanium backup and freeze it?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
You don't have to stop it, it's the way android organizes resources, it buffers it to cache so it's faster to laung, empty memory is wasted memory :) its only when a program acts improperly, so as to prevent the phone to sleep, uses cpu all the time etc, it eats battery, this is when you need to close it :) A task manager is rarely needed in android, it's only use should be if a program crashes and freezes.

The problem with HTC watch was that it wouldn't allow the phone to sleep, therefore the processor would work constantly :)

If you don't want it uninstall it, or use autostarts manager to disable it in the startup :)
[HTC Sensation] Hussainally:
Cheers once again mate

Why Autostart says i do not have root access?..
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Hmm dunno, works perfect for me.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Sorry if i wasn't cleared enough, but the HTC watch need to be frozen with titanium backup, but the guns and hoes or whatever it was could be uninstalled :)
[HTC Sensation] Hussainally:
Noted Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
I tried to play Angry Birds with some limitations : 600 MHz processor is enough (and maybe less !). I will try to watch the drain diffeence between this and the stock setting.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Lulz
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
Hey I use elixir but the really only shows me battery temp is there a better temp app and for monitoring CPU usage for individual apps?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
try systempanel app, i think its a nice one :)
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
Thx ill try it out now
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
i see battery temp but i dont see cpu temp. is battery temp what i should be looking at to monitor cpu temp? also i run the 1.8ghz redo bat file but i cant go higher then 1512 mhz
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Did you try setting custom at device selection? and yes battery temp is what you should look at :)
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
When I first ran it, I selected auto detect and it worked took me to 1512mhz but I can't get to that screen anymore also what is scaling?
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
I see that my scripts are in your archive, but no thanks have been given, nor did you ask...
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
If I'm using your scripts thx :D
[HTC Sensation] RANDYRKELLY:
is there a new link coming
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Ok you'r name has been added to first post, sorry about that :/

Anyway's as i said, this was not my basework :)
[HTC Sensation] ujkadusko:
Went back from 1.62UV to 1.5UV...it drained more battery under same setting of profiles and except Quadrant(was 2450,now is 2250),Linpack is almost the same(multi around 85) and Nenamark 2 is better!?(was 28,now is 33).
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
+1..... The 1.5 iv script drains battery faster also.
[HTC Sensation] holly1963:
how can i unload the module *.ko? 'insmod -r' and 'rmmod' is not working, it could't find the /lib/... directory, witch is not present.

I want to reload again w/o reboot to try higher freq. Can somebody help me?
[HTC Sensation] ys222:
finally ... all in one batch :-)

Now, please advice, when there will be script that we can run it from the phone itself after each reboot, so no need to connect it to the PC everytime need root/su/overclock ;)
[HTC Sensation] bml5631:
Seems that without access to bootloader there is no way to write to init so no startup scripts. Please correct me if I am wrong (I would love to be wrong).
[HTC Sensation] marduk79:
So far working like a charm. I still havent lost the speed. using the 1.8 module. Super easy to do. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Yep we need to have s-off :)
[HTC Sensation] s10shane:
hey u get 78 on the linpack multi thread? i cant even get past 64 stock. lol
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Yes i do, i'm running the OTA that came out last month or something, that bumped my scores up a bit :)
[HTC Sensation] marduk79:
I don't know if this will help any one out but today was my 1st full (almost full) day away from the charger with the temp root/overclock and I must say I am impressed. I did not loose root throughout the day and the battery usage was not as bad as I anticipated. I left the house at 6 am with it at 96% battery and it currently reads 42% left. almost 12 hours of usage and still a little less than half left. Granted I was not on the phone the whole day but I did do some casual texting and light phone usage and even angry birds for a bit. The one thing that I do have to figure out how to do is get rid of the message "set cpu was granted root access" (or something like that) that keeps popping up.
[HTC Sensation] motoman234:
Something weird is happening to me now. Yesterday I did a factory wipe because my phone was freezing every once in awhile (unrelated to your script) and ever since then I can't get the overclock to work. The root works fine but it gives me a "no such directory" error or something like that on over half of the commands. I can usually fix little problems like this but this one is getting the best of me. I have tried several reboots, more factory wipes and so on. Fastboot is disabled, USB debugging is enabled. What gives??? SetCPU doesn't give me the auto detect option so for some reason anything to do with the overclock will not get pushed.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
I have exactly the same problem...EXACTLY....I haven't been able it figure it out at all...
[HTC Sensation] motoman234:
That's crazy man. Things have went terrible sour for me lately. This is the second Sensation I've had and everything was great for a week or two after buying the phone but now things are literally crawling and I'm getting a ton of FC's on random things. About 5 minutes ago HTC Sense "Force Closed" and it would not load back so I had to reboot. I know things are going to be a night and day difference once we can flash ROM's and such because we will be able to fix our own problems and tweak everything but let me tell yuh, I'm STRUGGLING to get to that point lol.

Anyways, back on topic. I'm trying a couple things real quick to see if I can fix the problem. I'll let you know soon if I find any good information for you.
[HTC Sensation] zoth:
I don't know where to begin both of you guys are very qualified at this. Moto I hope you're still at your 20 day buyer remorse. I have to go thru 3 Sensations before I was satisfied.
[HTC Sensation] motoman234:
Does it go 20 days from when I got my last one returned? I can't remember if I'm past it or not :(.
[HTC Sensation] zoth:
Yes a TMO rep told me 20days via Walmart is 15. You get another buyer remorse period after a replacement via buyers remorse.
[HTC Sensation] marduk79:
I finally hit 20% battery left and I must say that am pretty happy with the set cpu app having switched to my powersave profile at 30%. very happy with both the performance and battery life so far. Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Good to hear guys, yes the root is solid and the battery drain is low, also if you get no such file directory its nothing to worry about, just be sure to have the overclock module in the main folder :)

Also if you get the popup message all the time turn of notifications in superuser.

Hit the menu key in setcpu to autodetect settings, or use custom frequenzies.

Remember to press thanks if it helped you!

Sent from my overclock'ed Sensation
[HTC Sensation] motoman234:
I have the module in the main folder, it's still not working. It says something among the lines of "cannot stat "*******.ko.....no such file or directory".

The weird thing is, I had this working fine for the longest time.

Edit: Never mind, I finally got it working. I just deleted the module in the main folder over and over and kept trying. Now it's back to normal :).
[HTC Sensation] widowmaster:
Many thanks to developers!!!

Overclocking is working perfectly. I am using 1,5 GHz and its stable, fast and battery life is almost unchanged.

Antutu bechmark improved more than 1400 points to 4600. :)
[HTC Sensation] tommycathh:
I cannot root my Sen. On my PC there's continuos messages: adb server is out of date. killing...It appeared many times, but not successful. My device wasn't rooted. I installed SDK, HTC drivers.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Exit and close HTC Sync, also make sure your phone is set to charge only, and have debugging enabled.
[HTC Sensation] dream8441:
I have a question...Conservative i notice does not work well...What scaling profile can i choose or did you choose for battery saver?? im currently using 1.5 Undervolted...and have it set to ondemand...Do Powersave or Conservative profiles work???

2nd if i want to try 1.8Ghz how do i redo so i can run temproot w/ the 1.8? can i try Undervolted (test) or the original which one works best thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Conservative works fine for me, but on demand is the best overall to use :)

If the Undervolted (test) works for you, you can use that one, if not use the regular 1,8ghz.

Altough both of them may increase battery usage a little.
[HTC Sensation] dream8441:
YES BUT CONSERVATIVE DOES NOT REALLY SHOW YOU THE CLOCK SPEEDS YOU ARE IN...AS EXAMPLE MY MYTOUCH 4G RUNNING CM7 7.0.3 OR THE VIRTUOS FUSION SENSATION ROM BY EVIL 1.1.8.....ITS JUST STUCK AT 1512MAX AND 384MIN...but stuck on 1512MAX ALL THE TIME.....I DO NOTICE A HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE :) I MEAN HUUUUUUGE BATTERY LIFE NOW W/ THIS...
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
So no matter which batch file I run I'm able to set my speeds in setcpu to 1.8ghz. If I flash the 1.6 and set it to 1.8 will it not run at 1.8?
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
I don't mean to come off rude or ignorant at all, but why are the quandrant scores so low when overclocked, even at 1.6 or 1.8 I can't get above 2200! When I had my g2x overclocked at 1.5 ghz I was getting scores of over 5000. What's going on?
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
It's so weird I used to score between 2100 and 2310 routinely on stock. I did the 1.62 Undervolt and now I'm hovering around 2160-2180 very steadily.

But still thanks Eugene and Utking!
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Hmm, conservative works fine for me, it tends to stay in the low range, and ramps up when it's used :) Yes i had to make a reboot yesterday, and lost my root, seeing as i wasn't at home i couldn't reroot and OC, but when i was running stock the battery was really rubbish, and the phone got extremely hot when using it! So now im overclocked again :)
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Nope, the speed is limited by the kernel module :) so it will then stay at 1,6
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Hmm, heavy sense interface, badly optimized drivers from HTC etc, it's just the way it is! try freezing sense, install launcherpro, disable all animations and see what you get! :)
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
No problemo! :)

Also you should get a little better battery life with the 1,5UV, i myself can't run at this as my phone freezes :(
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
I think I just need to find a more reliable benchmark. Quadrant is giving me scores all over the place after a reboot. 1900, 1900, 2300, 2300, 1900
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Awesome man Thanks!!
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
Lol thank you, its my first htc phone with sense, I've always used stock android. But that does make sense
