It doesn't work for me, i moved the 1.6ghz start file to the main folder, the ko file to the folder, i ran the program and went through, my phone rebooted at the end and then i checked it, went to set cpu and it still says 1188mhz max, the slider goes right up to 1800mhz but the actual speed reports 1188, should i have removed my copy of set cpu? As I think this pushes a copy of setcpu to your phone?

Also which device shall i choose? I chose to read from text files, the one under tegra 2.

Any help would be great.

EDIT: Well i now know that i shouldn't removed set cpu, as it doesn't put it there for you, also the CMD prompt does not close on it's own, at the end it says pause (which i imagine is the end of the script, if i press a button then it will push a file again and then the phone will reboot.

Either way i don't receive an overclock.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Anyway of getting this working with the revolutionary s-off root?

Mine has stopped working since i rooted with that.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Utking any ideas on this overclock dude?
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Found this on another post...

Gonna give it a go when I get home, the logic makes sense
[HTC Sensation] chrisgto4:
I know qith the stock kerel 8x60_oc_gb7a86da module you can oiverclock to 1.8. after tryng all night to overclock any of the custom roms i was unsuccessful. After flashing back to tmobile ruu I was abl to overclock again. I know the devs have got this new o/c daemon running on all the roms but I like to control it myself. and plus the cpu would never go past 1188 on custom roms. Now if we can just get the damn module to hang onto the changed values after a reboot it would be perfect. but even with perm-root it switches back to stock frequencies after reboot. GRRRRRRRRR. can someone make a gscript that we can run after reboot to get the o/c back
[HTC Sensation] NoSubstitute:
For those asking about OC with S-OFF

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16143815&postcount=152

There are currently some issues, but they are working on it.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
As said the setcpu file is just an example, you can add your own steps :) did you put it in the root of the memory card?
[HTC Sensation] crackeyes:
worked great for me getting 83.375 MFLOPS muti with line pack and 2431 in quadrant
[HTC Sensation] rldev:
Yes I have setcpu running from sd card. setvcpu says it can't read config file, reverting to defaults.

ok. Got it going. Stuck at 1188, but what a difference in the UI. Have to figure out how to get to 15000
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Put SetCpu.txt on your SD card. Also try switching to either interactive or performance in SetCPU.
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
It defaults to "On Demand" which doesn't seem to work. Switch to interactive and put it to the max clock.
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Another update: it seems to be reverting to the stock speeds after periods of inactivity. (It's just been sitting at the home screen on my dock.) It didn't lose root, just the overclock. Going back into SetCPU and setting the speed again fixed it.

Edit: I think it's because the app keeps getting garbage collected. I seem to have worked around it by enabling profiles and notifications in SetCPU (to keep it running in the notification bar). It restarts every time it's killed.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Yes there seems to be some bugs with the way the overclock modules interact with the kernel :) fixed the bug with the file rename. Also toying with the minium slider seems to fix some issues, But i still have the speed, setcpu seems to update it even if its idle, i get the notice when using programs, that setcpu has been granted superuser access :)

Glad it worked though :) and the root has been rock solid for me!
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
So im having a lot of trouble getting this to stick. Tried a profile, tried the disable option in setcpu's menu for the driver, for got the name of it. But anyway it seems like setcpu keeps forgetting it has root and defaults, can't figure out a way around this yet. I was getting 2700 scores in quadrant, but only after resetting speed in setcpu.
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
dubt17, you probably have HTC sync running on your computer. Close it, restart your phone, and try again.
[HTC Sensation] dubt17:
Sweet! Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] r3v0Lut10n:
working great, now only need an easier way to OC and stay :) even after reboot or so. but ui is much quicker. just checked with fixed 1.5G :D

adding shots ;)
[HTC Sensation] xuni89:
can someone explain this more clearly step by step for those people like me who are novice when it comes to these stuff, such how to determine what is the kernel of the phone?
[HTC Sensation] r3v0Lut10n:
on english i guess : settings > about phone > software > other (bandwith, kernel ...) there it is :)

dowload the zip, place the correct OC module in the root it it, and place the setCPU.txt on your SDcard's root folder.

run the batch file, install set cpu, choose the setcpu.txt for settings. switch to interactive or performance governor and use the sliders (note, for constant 1.5G speed 4 example move both sliders to it, or use performance mode)

hope it can help ...

um. dont exit from with back button, use home instead (and let it run in the background)
[HTC Sensation] xuni89:
Thank you so much! but i managed to figured it out somehow hehe. Its working. I got higher score on quadrant. I wonder if battery would drain faster. Is oc to 1.8 safe?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Yes battery would drain a bit faster, but now we have the ability to make profiles, like underclock it when screen is off, lowering min speed etc :) also you could try out 1,5ghz undervolted too, this wouldn't drain that much battery :)
[HTC Sensation] xuni89:
Oh thanks for the info. If you are not busy. Could you share what profile settings your phone is set to. I'm not confident in putting in cpu min and max values since again I really don't have a clue. Just following directions from posts. Thanks a lot!
[HTC Sensation] r3v0Lut10n:
what is the default voltage btw ? (stock kernel, stock clock)

the undervolted 1.5G is below the stock voltage ?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Hmm, i don't have an app to test the stock voltage, but if i remember correct this should atleast run at the same voltage as stock, if not slightly lower :)

Oh, i have min cpu set at 245 :)
[HTC Sensation] chesterr:
Thanks man this worked like charm...
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Any fancy writing a dumb ass guide on how to do this shizzle?

That's if its stable yet?

Thanks all
[HTC Sensation] r3v0Lut10n:
it's stable and working, i made it from the 1st post ... but wrote it again to some1 else just above. read 1st pls :)

[HTC Sensation] Utking:
If you get a constant popup from superuser, you can this off in notifications in superuser. Also don't use the back button when exiting setcpu, use the home button instead!
[HTC Sensation] fiendskillz:
So far was testing the 1.8ghz (performance, and interactive w/ slider to 19000/245) and with the 1.8ghz it would reboot after a couple quadrant score tests and/or some time with games such as grave defense hd/cut the rope, etc..

now testing your 1.5ghz uv

Any ideas why the 1.8ghz would keep rebooting? Was I doing something wrong?
[HTC Sensation] nemoshotyany:
Any way to get a readout of all the voltages the cpu takes at each frequency and what the 1.5ghz undervolt is set to?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
@1,8 ghz it's at 1,35v and at 1,5ghz undervolt it's at 1,17v.

So for a good overclock with ok battery life use the undervolted one, the 1,8 ghz is mainly for testing purpose, as it's no need to run this beast that high! :)

Try to run a stress test in setcpu at the different frequencies and see if it reboots :)
[HTC Sensation] fiendskillz:
Ran multiple stress tests/games for a while on 33/1275000 and its been good for me soo far.. ill report any updates :]
[HTC Sensation] xuni89:
For people who are new like me...

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

I'm not sure if Superuser app is provided with this temp root but you might need that also to give permission to setcpu.. etc.. (not entirely sure..)

*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/showthread.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. Copy setcpu.txt onto your SD CARD (the one on your phone obviously).

After this if your copying by changing your connection type to Disk Drive. make sure you put it back to charge only after.

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] Utking:
Nice guide! :) superuser should be installed with this root ;)

Added guide in 3thd post :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
I can confirm this is working good for me. Worked first time following xuni89 n00b guide.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Is there anyway of finding out what volts I'm running at?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
I'm sorry, i don't know actually =/ but at overclock it should run on 1,37v while 1,27 on undervolt :)

Added undervoltage for 1,62 and 1,8ghz, this is testing only, it may work for some, and not for others, this is because of tolerance levels in each chip :)

Setcpu.txt should now autocopy for new users, if you don't want your own configurate file to be overwritten you should delete the one in the folder :)
[HTC Sensation] glensta:
Hi Utking - thanks for putting this together. Just a quick question. Here's what I show on my SetCpu screen. It appears I'm Oc'd, but the max says 1188 even though the screen slider goes to 1800. So am I Oc'd to 1.8?

Thank you.

Edit: Had to re-upload image
[HTC Sensation] xuni89:
I have a noob... question. When people refer to "reboot" does that mean restarting the phone, or does turning off the phone also reboots it? If I simply turn off the phone will temp-root disappear?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
No if it says 1188 it means your'e not overclocked :) try setting the min and max sldiers a little up and down, also try changing from on demand to performance or conservative :)

Yes rebooting is restarting the phone, but turning it off would still do this, i'm not sure if turning it off while using fastboot disables root though, if you could try it it would be great! :)
[HTC Sensation] xuni89:
I have my fastboot on when turning off the phone, Temp-root stays =) as far as I can tell, So does OC.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Great, this root has been rock solid for me!
[HTC Sensation] rldev:
1.5GHZ fried my wife's sensation. Mine runs like a champ.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
works perfect first time... the instructions confused me about the autopush (but i just copied the setcpu.txt file into the sdcard manually) and it worked perfectly anyway.. didn't worry about the specific settings for undervoltage, etc however setcpu works at up to 1.5G anyway perfectly.. profiles also set great and seem to work however i notice that the sliders dont change yet the speeds have changed (is that because the sliders are for the system settings overall and not for the profile that is active?)... and root/overclock sticks after a shutdown/turn off and back on again (with fastboot still on as standard) however with previous freevo's i have noticed this is NOT always the case and root sometimes sticks sometimes not (as i turn my phone off everynight, and reroot each morning as computer is on anyway)... many thanks!
[HTC Sensation] aatjitra:
I manage to hit Quadrant score 3061... Thanks...
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
My OC still running strong
[HTC Sensation] xuni89:
Is there an undervolted 1.6g oc? I want to see if i can manage to hit 2800 on quadfant.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Yes it is! :)
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Oh, the autopush means that it copy's the setcpu file for you, no need to do it manually anymore :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
What's a good reading from Quadrant with 1.5 undervolt?

Edit**

I'm getting 1954 on Quadrant. Running 1.5 underclock, is this any good?

I see a lot of people getting plus 2000's, is this cause I'm running it at undervolt?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] foxehkins:
what do you mean, "fried" it? Like it completely doesn't work at all?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
I only get 2100 on 1,8ghz so that's not so bad :) i'm replacing mine though, i'm getting ****ty linpack scores, batterylife sucks, even with chichitec 1900 battery, and i don't have any gps coverage :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Im confused how people are getting 2800 or even 3000+?

Can anyone post the 1.6ghz undervolt please?

Thanks

Edit: Ive just noticed its been added to the original post, but it saus underclock, is this the same as undervolt?
[HTC Sensation] cheesekeeper:
Bummer, my kernel isn't in the list. I'm running an Australian (Telstra) Sensation with kernel 2.6.35.10-g6d6a25c. Is there some sort of method for extracting and patching the required module?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Oh, yes underclock is the same as undervolt :p

Cheesekeeper i have to look into it :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Thanks.

Is there anything you would like me to do as it saus TEST next to it? Im happy to run any tests for you
[HTC Sensation] cheesekeeper:
Awesome, thanks. Please let me know if there's anything you need from my phone..... :D
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
hi utking!

firstly i must say great work i did with this overclocking batches :)

now i still got a little problem, the version 1.2 with 1.5ghz undervolted worked fine for me, now i wanted to try the 1.62ghz undervolted version on your newly released batch but after this the screen doesnt react and gos black after 5 seconds. Thought the undervolt was too much and tried the normal 1.62ghz but i'am getting the same probleme.

Now i wantrd to back to the the 1.5ghz undervolted but this isnt working anymore neither. :(

Have u did some more undervolting in version 1.3?

the version 1.2 worked perfectly for me :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Im gonna try the 1.3 version now & I'll report back my results.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Ok.

I've run the 1.62Ghz undervolt on my Sensation. First of all ran the Easy Fre3vo (Redo) 1,62ghz.nat, but that made no difference at all, I then run the Easy Fre3vo (Start) 1,62ghz.bat, but again, that has made no difference to SetCPU at all. Mine is still running at 1.5Ghz.

If your wondering, yes I replaced the setcpu.txt file I had on my SD card with the 1.3 one.

Suppose at least I havent lost my current OC.

Any ideas why the 1.62 Ghz didnt work?
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
utking - cheers

also mate.. i noticed i have AWESOME battery life... i set the screen off profile to less than half (ie. 486mHz max and 192mHz min), with a 1.5G max and 594mHz min main profile and have a 1850mAh battery (a china brand for a EVO 3D; which works perfectly as tested thoroughly with battery monitor pro) and this has increased my battery life massively; i was using it tonight for moderate to high usage and went from 90% to 39% in over 6 hours; i would be almost flat even with the bigger battery with the standard clocked setting (previous to your overclock mod).... for 30-50minutes my usage was logged as -2mA i couldnt believe it :)
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
I will check into the issues in a couple of hours :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Does the screen off profile automatically active when you lock your screen then?

This is a settings that interests me a lot.

Does the phone not struggle to do background things like syncing email/Twitter when its set to max at 486mhz?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Yes the screen off profile activates when you turn off the screen, and no it should manage itself quite fine :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
That's the best thing I've ever heard.

Any other recommended battery saving profiles worth having?

What's the 'main' everyday phone usage profile called?
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
from what i understand the 2 sliders when you open setcpu are the main settings for the phone no matter what... the profiles are the next tab and only come on when they are instructed to do you (you can set these)

as for the tasks... this is perfectly fine, i have facebook in the background, email, packing tracking, messages, etc and these all worked perfectly in actual fact due to the nature of android the programs that are in the background that aren't required (lets say something like market for example) will get closed very early due to the cpu not being able to have room to allow for the required app (lets say facebook) to be running in the background, multitasking at its finest (eat that jobs)...

for reference: i have currently 3 profiles at present that work great for me the aforementioned 'screen off' profile set at priority 100 (to help with a faster charge, when the screen is off and for when it is in use away from charger to conserve battery life), 'charging' profile set at priority 92 (1512max and 864min, to give me full power when the screen is ON while charging because lets face it, the device should be at its best at this time) and the profile at 'battery<30%' and with a priority of 91(864max and 192min, to save the remaining charge thats in the battery when the phone is in use by limiting its capability and when the screen is off the screen off profile takes over and helps even further.... i have no issues with this setup and as i said my battery has been awesome

edit: to see the difference yourself download and try out the free version of battery monitor made by '3C'... and watch the difference over a day or two on the graphs it can provide... it can monitor the mA usage of your battery and it logs it at various intervals with a very small footprint on your phone.. it can really help with setting a profile that will work great for your needs
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
I logged into my browser to thank you.

Cheers mate. Setting up profiles now
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Does the scalling matter? I've set to powersave for them all
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
for scaling i have set mine to performance... it doesnt not specifically matter for the governor but from various posts around the net i have seen that performance is good for the main tab (dont flame just my own opinion)... again see my last post i edited and try out that battery monitor and log the changes to your battery for yourself to note the difference it may or may not make... it may end up needing different values in the profiles i noted for best results and that app was the easiest way to see changed in mA usage over hours of usage/non usage

edit: sorry again for an edit but here is a pic of the app with my results

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
On demand is the best overall, performance tend to stay in the high mhz, while conservative stay at the lower, interactive rises mhz while actively using the phone :)
[HTC Sensation] nemoshotyany:
According to a post I read on here power saver runs your phone at the lowest possible frequency all the time.

Set CPU Settings (For those that are interested): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758655

On another note. Is there anyway I can customize my under volt for my minimum and max frequency?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Powersaver runs at the lowest frequenncy, and it won't go higher unless cpu load is very high :) so on demand is the best all round to use!

No im sorry, this is not doable :)
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Could you please try the new 1.4? i added support for your kernel, but don't know if it works! :) oh, and i reverted 1,62ghz undervolt settings, it was set a bit to low.

sry bout that!
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Ill give it a go now & post my results.

P.S. Not sure if anyone has this problem, but 2shared is 2slow.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Ok, I've just run the new 1.4 Easy Fre3vo (Redo) 1,62ghz.bat - SetCPU still showing 1.5Ghz

I ran the Easy Fre3vo (Start) 1,62ghz.bat as well, but the same results.

I've also updated the setcpu.txt file on my SD card to the one in the 1.4 zip.

Do I need to battery pull my phone then run the Easy Fre3vo (Start) 1,62ghz.bat before this will work ?

Edit: although I'm sure something has happened as Ive just ran quadrant again and I'm getting 2352..

I had 1948 or something this morning...
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Did you reboot? and did you wait the 15 seconds until you press the next button? :)

I get 1,62 just fine with 1.4 :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
No I haven't rebooted before doing it. And Yeah I waited the 15secs after the bat file finished, ill reboot and try again.

2mins
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Well that worked a treat.

Setcpu running at 1.62ghz.

Everything seems stable & smooth.

I've just run a quadrant benchmark and got 2052. I'm guessing this isn't entirely acurate...

Thanks a lot mate.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Good to hear! !:) yes i'm afraid so, i guess some other things comes in factor, like programs running in memory etc ;)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
I guess the greedy side of me is coming out now...

Would a 1.8 undervolt ever be safe?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Haha, in theory it should be safer than regular 1,8ghz as its running at lower volt, the thing is that it may freeze and reboot, but then it's just to run it one more, i have tried it myself, and it worked for me :)

But as always, i take no responsibility! :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Ok, I'm no wizzkid like you, so how would I know if its running bad?
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
screenfreeze and reboot, jst that

edit: undervolt 1.62ghz runs fine now, but i get lower quadrant score than on 1.5ghz...

should i give a count on that and should i get back to 1.5ghz?
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
For some reason I get the same thing... I went into SetCPU and put it HIGHER than 1.62, even though I was running the 1.62 overclock. It works now and I get around 2800 in Quadrant.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
1.8Ghz undervolt installed... I've seen no reboot.. no freezing.. all working a treat for me..

Quadrant =2265

I think I know why Quadrant is running low... Well I think I can put an idea into the pot... To get this to work we need to reboot our phones... To reboot our phone s correctly, we need to turn off fastboot... Im pretty sure it takes a good hour or so for everything to start up and settle down on these phones. I'm gonna run another Quadrant in the morning and post my results.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Isnt 1.62 the max you can set it too though? It doesnt allow you to drag the bar any higher than 1.62?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
It should go up to 1,8ghz anyway :)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
But if you've run the 1.62 bat file, the max that setcpu bar will let u go up to is 1.62ghz... Now I've run the 1.8 bat file I can go up to 1.8 in setcpu... So how is he able to put it higher than 1.62 if he hasn't run anything higher into his phone?
[HTC Sensation] rldev:
Yes that is what it means. The phone overheated and went caput. Going to exchange it in 10 minutes.
