Anyone find an overclock / CPU booster that works

[Cat88Extreme]

I have tried a couple that say they should work with a rooted android on the oem ROM, but none work so far. Has anyone found one that works. I used Universal AndRoot to root my tablet (EX).

There is a perceived "greater that 50%" performance improvement with the stock DG2.20 (Android 2.2 "Froyo") manual update.

There are several tools used in benchmark comparisons, "Caffeine Mark", "Linpack", and "Quadrant" to name a few.

Comparing previous results of Quadrant scores to scores of an updated devices there seems to be some improvement of performance.

Are you sure that your proc. can be overclocked?

Well I was more looking into this for processor reduction when possible to save battery life. I am very interested in Froyo though. I just need to read through the posts about loading it. I am also very happy about having a bootable SD card backup with Froyo. This is my second tablet, the first one froze when doing an update and wouldn't go past the Sylvania name at startup, without a bootable SD card backup I could do nothing to fix the first tablet.

Hold off updating since you're using the OTG port. The better performance could be because some basic services such as the ability to mount USB devices was left out of the update.

overclocking typically requires a modified kernel. And on the ones that it says it does not require a modified kernel, the frequency, and clock multiplier values are dynamically settable through procfs or sysfs. In kernels that it says it will work with that are OEM, Thats why. I havent tried to look at the kernel for this too close yet (mainly because we dont seem to have kernel sources... Which AFAIK is way against GPL..) but im willing to bet money, marbles or chalk, that the cpu freq's are locked/and or hard coded. Thats why you wont have any luck with them, not till that changes or we get new kernels or kernel source.
