[treydoz88]

amazing phone love the X2 it is the best you will buy, i love mine and was able to find it the cheapest at bit.ly\rVHRrM

[05legendlimeGT]

I am constantly getting 2300 (not overclocked) with quadrant standard running the MIUI rom on my droid x and I love it, but the only downside is the bad battery life.

[randyholzbach]

lol ronald jenkees ftw = p

[BloodyDoves]

I need help. I rooted my device, and I have RomExplorer (the only program that asked for SU privileges)

When ever I try to install any other program, it doesn't detect my device is rooted, and it never asks for permission like Rom Explorer did? Any help please. And, thanks.

PS: I already tried uninstalling and installing again.

[BuschsMovies]

nice video :-)

[JokerVBA]

It told me I'm not on an x or X2? wtf? lol

[JokerVBA]

@JokerVBA Also I'm on a Droid x2

[ALWAYS42O]

why do ppl seem to upload videos about stuff they looked up videos to learn lol thats adding insult to injury

[Keysta7]

Dude, shut the FUCK up.

[ams914]

Bet you can't overclock a vagina.

[ALWAYS42O]

@ams914 bet you cant get vagina

[ams914]

@ALWAYS42O Don't piggy back my joke like that man. Very un cool and unoriginal of you.

[terrence1127]

I'm getting 1590's on my Droid 2 on liberty gingerbread and its not overclocked.

[guystuff100]

cant this like ruin your phone?

[mechrocktech]

@guystuff100 It can but only if you turn it up really high.

[vpjohnston]

You're not a very good tutor, need to explain how you picked/deduced the numbers you use.

[mechrocktech]

@vpjohnston If you go to 1:35 you will see how to change them.

[MaliceDispersion1]

@mechrocktech and he also said deduce

[whatshouldmynamebe1]

1.15 Ghz??? My Droid 1 is at 1.25

[MrCazman123]

Does this work with droid eris, it has had speed problems in the past

[mechrocktech]

@MrCazman123 No, there is a different method for that phone. I do not know what it is off the top of my memory. 

[yoma7519]

how do you know if the ghz you set it at is stable?

[R0YB00]

Download 'netspeed' to see if to test speed

[TroyTrombley96]

I guess your not lucky cause I can run my on 2 ghz lol! Fast

[TroyTrombley96]

How can I tellif my x is faster?

[therockoutpilot]

dude sounds like hes crying...gah thats annoying.

[arefx]

the most i can get stable on my phone is 1150mhz at 64vsel... i run at 1200mhz for lighter apps as it wont cause a crash, if I play anything super heavy like say dungeon defenders i cant run without crashing past 1100mhz... so i usually just play that at 1ghz, honestly OC isnt all that important on the DX, but at 1150mhz its great forsnappier web browsing, etc... its also nice to undervolt and underlock... i undervolt and run it at 900mhz about 80% of the time great battery life. liberty1.5rom

[elsenordelosstangs]

whats the purpose of overclocking your phone??

[mechrocktech]

@elsenordelosstangs It can increase performance on applications.

[ghostllunall]

whats highest overclocked phone please msg me so i can see for myself. the highest overclocked phone was 1.8ghz almost to 2ghz if youv seen higher then msg me

[mechrocktech]

@ghostllunall You would never want to stay at that overclock, it's not good for the phone.

[ghostllunall]

@mechrocktech i know but i just wanted to know though. but if u do find something more than it i wanna see the fone not BUY it lol :p

[xXxG3T0WN3DxXx]

@mechrocktech yea if you got a shitty one lol

I Got the Epic 4G Running 1.4Ghz in SetCPU 1400/1400 on performance or ondemand or conservative been running all day bitch no heat

[Gmod10man]

@xXxG3T0WN3DxXx alright your hot shit you can brag about your phone. And you have 6 subscribers. and 9000 video views. Im 13 and I have more subscribers and views.

[xXxG3T0WN3DxXx]

@Gmod10man who gives a shit about that its a fucking click i could click my own damn videos 9000 times doesnt mean shit. You have a piece of shit phone whereas i don't. I can clearly Overclock and let it stay overclocked and run several apps at same time those that consume cpu and ohhh look phone stil is fine

[Gmod10man]

@xXxG3T0WN3DxXx well then you have a piece of shit phone. we have the same phone -.-

[xXxG3T0WN3DxXx]

@Gmod10man really i f i can stay overclocked which means more performance etc... and not generate heat and still have good battery that means i have an awesome fucking phone dumbshit

[Gmod10man]

@xXxG3T0WN3DxXx u mad?

[xXxG3T0WN3DxXx]

@Gmod10man LOL na your just a fucking idiot

[Shayd93]

I want Droid x2 with Tegra 2

[mechrocktech]

@Shayd93 Don't we all... :P

[lizardmannnn]

@Shayd93 Isn't that coming out soon? Like in april. What I really want is a tegra 3 quad core phone but... Cant just keep waiting forever lol

[mechrocktech]

@lizardmannnn Sometime in the coming months you should see a phone with Tegra. Quad cores will only be in a tablet for a year or 2. I hate to burst your hopes.

[abel09011]

wats the name of ur case?

[mechrocktech]

@abel09011 I have a video review of it under my channel. "Verizon Droid X Leather Case and Screen Protector Review"

[TheDavidjohn17]

Droid 2, Apex ROM, overclocked to 1.45 Ghz, and it's stable! The thing flies, it's crazy.

[mechrocktech]

@TheDavidjohn17 Nice!

[DroiDxFanboyx]

@TheDavidjohn17 Use the liberty rom. It's pretty freakin' sweet

[TheDavidjohn17]

@DroiDxFanboyx Actually been using Liberty since it came out. Best ROM on the D2 so far, love it!

[DroiDxFanboyx]

@TheDavidjohn17 Good to know. Quick question about your expierience with it: have you been able to go into the [Liberty Settings] in the setting menu?

[TheDavidjohn17]

@DroiDxFanboyx Yep, works for me. Couple suggestions.. Try going into manage applications, and force stopping the liberty toolbox. Then, go into the liberty toolbox, push menu, then settings. These are the exact same settings that you would get in the normal liberty settings menu. You could also try clearing the data from the toolbox. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset. Doesn't work, try wiping data/cache and reinstalling the ROM. I would wait until liberty 1.5 comes out!

[DroiDxFanboyx]

@TheDavidjohn17 Yeah I might just wait to do that. I went into my running applications and Liberty toolbox wasn't in there. As for wiping it, I will just wait for the update, which is set to be out really soon :D

[CoCMember]

@DroiDxFanboyx You can download it from the App Market. I did and I rebooted. Then, the Liberty Settings began to work.

[DroiDxFanboyx]

@CoCMember Ok, I did that, and now the settings work. Thank you. But where is the option to change the colors around and stuff?

[CoCMember]

@DroiDxFanboyx Liberty Toolbox -->Liberty Mods --> then you have themes, fonts, etc. I just downloaded yellow and orange themes from online. Google Liberty themes. Some are available at the droidforums . net

You just boot into bootstrap recovery and install zip from Sdcard for the ones downloaded online :)

I'm using red and black right now ;-)

[DroiDxFanboyx]

@CoCMember Ok, my ROM must be royally messed up because it doesn't work with any themes I have.

[CoCMember]

@DroiDxFanboyx Hmm, I haven't tried any themes on the ROM toolbox. Just ones from the net. See if any of the ones online work. If not, you may have to flash the ROM again.

[DroiDxFanboyx]

@CoCMember Where did you download them?

[CoCMember]

@DroiDxFanboyx mpmitchell . com --- is what the file says but I'm not totally sure. Check it out.

[CoCMember]

@DroiDxFanboyx posted link on your page comment box.

[xRadicalAurax]

that case is uglyyy. looks like someone killed a gorilla and slapped its skin on your phone.

[mechrocktech]

@xRadicalAurax There are some silcon cases that look really nice, I chose this because of the kick stand. I really don't care as much about look, just how much it can actually protect my phone.

[laurentrussell]

@xRadicalAurax DUDE YOU FUNNY AS HELL IT REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE GORILLA SKIN LOL

[CoDMoDzHD]

Is there any app out that can overclock a droid 2 global?

[mechrocktech]

@CoDMoDzHD I don't think at the moment since it's too new of a phone.

[CoDMoDzHD]

@mechrocktech Could you notify me when one comes out?

[mechrocktech]

@CoDMoDzHD Yes, if I'm able to remember.

[Mrjack45241]

Can someone PLEASE tell me an app that will OVERCLOCK my droid 2 GLOBAL because the others only work with DROID 2 since the GLOBAL'S already at 1.2 Ghz.

[badderthanyou]

Can you list some things to do with an unrooted phone to increase performance?

[Mrjack45241]

@LexusBrian400 i meen there is no option to go higher not that the phone cant handle it but there isnt even a option

[Mrjack45241]

just wasted a dollar on this app because it doesn't work with the droid 2 global!!

[mechrocktech]

@Mrjack45241

Just an FYI you can return apps with in 24 hours if you don't want them for some reason.

[Mrjack45241]

@mechrocktech ohh how can u do that??

[sjpc33]

@mechrocktech not anymore it's 15 minutes now!

[Mrjack45241]

how can you overclock droid 2 global with a 1.2 ghz processor because the max overclock is 1.2 so it doesnt make a difference

[LexusBrian400]

@Mrjack45241 All CPU's are different and can take higher/lower overclocks. So just because u cant go above 1.2ghz, doesnt mean someone else with the same phone cant.

[Mrjack45241]

I just got a droid 2 global with a 1.2 Ghz processor STOCK!!

[mechrocktech]

@Mrjack45241 Nice!

[littleweapon12]

is their a negative side to overclocking? like draining battery?

[mechrocktech]

@littleweapon12

Yes, It can make your phone unstable if you don't have high enough voltage. The higher the voltage the more heat and less battery life you have. Most choose to overclock on stock voltage or a very minor voltage increase. When you decrease the idle voltage there is a chance even though overclock you will still get better battery life.

Hope this helps!

[TheSemperac]

get milestone overclock works great on droid x. most other "overclock" apps just use it and sell it to you with a different name.

[shinobi1203]

dont wanna pay for this shit. please find a way fo free~

[mechrocktech]

@shinobi1203

There is a free way of doing it, but I rather pay the $.99 than waste time figuring out what to do.

Also check the market. There was a free app. Not sure if it worked with the X or not.

[Irregulation]

@shinobi1203 there is a free app for overclocking but it only works on droid or droid 2 its called " milestone overclock" it basically gives you a scale of how much want to overclock your phone so its wayyy simpler than this app shown on the video

[Gmod10man]

1080p might be awhile

[Gmod10man]

uploading now

[Gmod10man]

dude see my video I got it at 1.38Ghz using ROM manager and its so snappy.

[mechrocktech]

@Gmod10man

Nice OC, I don't see your video though...

[mrmeadowsiscool]

so if we suck up too much battery we can put it back to normal?

[mechrocktech]

@mrmeadowsiscool

Yeah, I have heard many people being able to undervolt and overclock at the same time.I was not so lucky, but you might be.

[furiousracer313]

Where did you find that taskbar at the bottom of your phone? I like it!

[mechrocktech]

@furiousracer313

It's called Launcher Pro. I made a video explaining how to set it up. Just go to my channel and you will see it.
