I have searched google for tutorial but nothing found.
Can anybody tell mme step by step what to do to increase my 528MHz?
Is there any tutorial?
And the final question, would overclocking really speed up Hero?
Hej, it is easy. You can download "setcpu" in xda: search it!
By using this app, you can overclock your Hero easily.
But overcloking seems to make the system sluggish...........(it was very smooth before)
I am using Villian 10.0.0.

Thx for the answer. So you don't recomend overcloking with setcpu?
No, something isn't right there, using the OCd kernels with SetCPU or OverclockWidget has improved performance of any ROM in my personal experience. Short guide, start of using values of min 350ish - max 650. Play for 5 mins, if ok, put it max setting up by one notch, play again. When it freezes up on you, you know you've gone one too high. You can also test how low u can set the min to save battery. Then start using the profile functions as well.
Mine runs pukka between 350 - 691, others can get 190 - 760.

I think the kernel has to be modified to allow overclocked frequencies..
I am in the same boat, I have the new official ROM, unmodified apart from root and would like to overclock..
Overclock widget shows 528mhz max, I assume SetCPU would be the same.. Is there an update.zip we can flash to have the stock kernel updated to allow the higher frequencies, but no other modifications?
Thanks in advance.
Yes indeed, they need to have a custom kernel. Are you using a ROM from here?... Most have their own overclocked kernels.
As far as I know you still can not take an update zip from one ROM and apply it to another without modifying it,... but I could be wrong. I was told the ramdisk could be extracted from the ROM your using and putting it into the overclocked kernel you want to use, this when the kernels were being made from source. Find out how to do that by searching for a guide on ROM cooking here on XDA.
However now with the official kernel released it might be possible to do it. Give it a bash. NANDROID FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do I flash a kernal on my Wildfire? I downloaded Jacob's overclockable one.
Thanks.
Same way you flash a rom...

Yeah, put it on sd card, boot to recovery and flash it.
Thats what I did, it installed it or something in less then a second but nothing changed.
Kernel information didn't change ? The kernel name should change to a very long name with jacob inside.
No it didn't change, now I have a CyanogenMod rom, with Jacob's kernal but no the one that you can overclock with.
Did you try oc'ing in SetCPU? The kernel is not overclocked by default because then, some users had problems booting with the pre overclocked kernel.
SetCPU is officially available on the XDA Forums. Just perform a search.

I have SetCPU, can you write down how to flash a kernal step by step for me?
I would really appreciate it.
Really, its the same as flashing a Custom ROM. If you were able to flash one, you should be able to flash this as well. (Restart in Recovery Mode, Install Zip from SDC)
BTW, it should show this under Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Kernel Version - [email protected] #1
This will show the kernel is successfully flashed. What is the maximum you can see in SetCPU? Is it still 528?

That's exactly what is says on the kernal, and yeah the maximum I see is 528.
Hmm.. did you hit autodetect speed under device selection ?

Yes I did.
I installed the Wildpuzzle v8 ... and then i installed SetCPU from this forum ... and i am not able to set the max past 528mhz ... i thought it must be something wrong with the custom rom .. ive even tried cynogenmod bt no luck there either ...
I believe its something to do with installing a custom kernel ... but i have no clue how to work with that ... If any one can please help me with that ... I am new to the android world ... and i want to overclock my wildfire ...
Thanks in advance ... tc
If you are using WildPuzzle, flash the overclockable kernel. (The file name starts with 0130 under kernels).
Once you flash it, OC'ing is enabled, and you will be able to OC till 768 Mhz.
Flashing a kernel is the same as flashing a Custom ROM. Reboot into Recovery > Install Zip from SDC, Select the Kernel ZIP. Remember to take a nandroid backup beforehand though.
Good Luck
Install the Jacob's kernal.
Just flash it like ROM thru the recovery without flashing. I recommend a nandroid backup first in case something goes wrong.
Dont forget to hit the thanks button if it was helpful to you.

Don't flash that package, it's just a speed setting. First, you need to flash this

Flash it over the ROM, without wiping or reflashing the rom. Just flash it without doing nothing before or afterm and reboot.

This one:
0130_kernel_overclock_jacob_2.6.32_v1.zip
0159 will also do (You will STILL need to flash 0130 before that). It will preset the CPU Speed to 691. Personally, I prefer flashing the OC'ed kernel, and, setting my own speeds and profiles through SetCPU. But, it is upto you.
Flashing a faster predefined speed than the default 528mhz, I prefer 652mhz file, helps with the booting process complete smoother.. less waiting time to load up desktop. That's what I find anyway... used to wait ages until setcpu kicks in.

if you use the 130 kernel with wildpuzzle, the wifi hotspot won't work, it will be visible but won't connect, if you flash 055 overclocking kernel from wildpuzzle 8.0.11 thread then wifi hotspot is all good
strongly reccomend HCDR Jacobs Kernel v4.1 its the bees knees haha
flash taht and your good to go
high - 691200
low - 25800

One more thing .. as i was told flashing the 0130 kernel would help me in setting up a predifine values through setCPU... after flashing the 0130 .. i still cudnt set my speed more than 528 ... then i flashd the predifnd 691mhz kernel ... nw atleast the setcpu widget shows my max 691 nd min 254 .... :/

130 works fine, and if anything got a slightly higher linpack score than 055 as i tested both, it just wouldn't work with wifi hotspot.
i have only ever used set cpu.
to flash 055 i restored nandroid backup i did before overclocking with 130 and then flashed 055.
Flashing CM7 nightly #19 would resolve issues. Also i didn't heard anyone complaining about this on CM7 thread. Please be sure to follow exactly the steps for installing CM7 including wipe and format /system.
CM7 #19 is OC'able by defaul, u only have to install SETcpu.
#19 is pretty stable.
Hey,
I see a lot of people using CM7 is this really the best one?
Also till how many mhz I can overclock on that one?
Yes Cm7 IS really great, in fact you can customize almost everything, and I really like that feature...
As for overclocking you can overclock I think to max of 768mhz(if I'm wrong somebody please correct me)...maybe you can a little bit more but I think it is kernel related...
Hope it helps,
Best regards

Irrespective of which ROM you choose, it is the kernel which allows (or disallows) you from Overclocking. Till date, there are 2 primary kernels which are available - HCDR.Kernel by Jacob and nFinity by arco, and both OC support upto 768MHz. (I think Deep-Knight has recently developed a new kernel for his ROM, which allows OC upto 600MHz)
Because of this, you can overclock your stock ROM also, if you so wish, by simply flashing a custom kernel.

Hi!
Which kernels can I use for original rom, if I want to overclock? HCDR, or Deep, or what? It will make the phone instable, or not?
Thank You!

You can use any. nFinity MC4 offers more features though, like Smartass Governor. It can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995301
Else, you can use HCDR Kernel also, if you wish, and decide for yourself which suits you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
It shouldn't make the phone unstable at all. But, in any case, make a Nandroid Backup beforehand.
Thank You
Well M using hell fire .. Cm7 based ....
Which is stable till 729 Mhz overclock m using max 729 and min 490 (I guess)
Phone is Much faster than before and love playing angry birds
I read all the 2 posts, but Im not sure to change the original slow kernel, for a faster. All have some bugs, battery life, wifi, etc...
I dont know, which could be better for the stock rom, or which could be better than the original.
Anyway, I want to try one of that, but I dont know which.
How can I flash just the kernel? And also back up my programs with titanium, or mybackup?
It clears everything like the rom flashing?
Ok, I made it, its cool, and faster. Thanks for the help.
is the overclocking "app" in standard cm7? Or i must go to market or anything else to download it?

Quickclock won't run, even on my rooted N7; anyone have suggestions to offer on this? jf
Get a kernel you can over clock on, maybe you should learn more about what your doing before trying stuff and will ultimately break your device.

Well, for starters, did not realize the stock ROM could not be 'clocked. I've put many ROMs on my Droid X and Nook, this is the first time I've 'played' with the N7.
Am downloading EOS ROM now... will see how that goes. jf

You need to install Motley or Trinity Kernel.
After you get your rom booted, install Motley's 1.0.6 anykernel zip file in the original development section, I believe it's Build #47, by wiping cache and dalvic and flashing the zip file in recovery.
Then install an app like CPU Master or Rom Toolbox Free
And remember that when you overclock and tell it to set on boot, if the device goes into deep sleep it may wake to 1300 mhz and you will need to set it back at 1600.
Also you may want to bump your minimum CPU speed up.
