As we all know, our Heros can be overclocked to different maximum frequencies depending on how lucky we are. So, I'm starting this thread because I'm curious as to how various Heros overclock.
To start off, my Hero is stable at 730MHz. It's the North American 3G version issued by Telus in Canada.
I was running at 710MHz but that was the limit of the kernel.
749 MHz, the limit of the kernel. But the phone runs faster on flykernel at 749 than another one I had at 800
GIYF 10 char
Well,I am a lucky guy obviously!My Hero can overclock @768 and be stable enough,but as the Gallery app crashes at this frequency(dunno why) I use it @749.But maximum overclock?800 MHz for a little less than a minute!
768 max, 19 min
Iirc
I have overclocked etc phones before but I am reluctant to do so on my hero (original ROM 2.1 intact). If I may ask, is it setCPU being used to overclock? Does the phone need to be rooted?
My Hero, and the XDA app, made this post possible.

Yes, the phone needs to be rooted in order to overclock.
I personally use Overclock Widget but I think SetCPU works as well.
710mhz works fine for me. 748 is very unstable and keeps rebooting
Running @ 748 on 3uk bought about 5 months ago.
Sent from my Froyd Villain Hero using XDA App
Just got 768MHz running. Not sure how stable yet, time will tell. XD
Well I can only manage 698 I can push it to 710MHz but it locks up if I put any strain on the CPU (forcing SetCPU to actually ramp up the clocks past 698).
It sux to be me I suppose
My kernel only lets me overlock to 691 Mhz (EzHero default kernel). Where can i get a kernel wich allows higher values?

Dev needs to create or edit the kernel to allow higher values. Kernels are rom specific.
Running stable at 710mhz on a 5month old Hero.
Seems that anything higher than that, and it would just freeze or become incredible unstable!

ditto that
691 is max stable. 3 months old European Hero.
710 starts eventually loop boot animation.
I found that there is little to no difference between 691 and any above.
So I keep mine at 691.
currantly 156>710 i can push it up to 756 but a tad unstable. but been running at that for over a week now..
vallain 12 1 year old hero gsm
Mine is stable at 653 mHz... However it's almost a year old (it's birthday is 7. of august)

First time CM7 user here. Just got done installing nightly build 75, everything seems to have gone well. Have dals 4/24 kernel installed, but I can't seem to figure out why it limits my max frequency choices > 800 Mhz to 1200 MHZ and 1300 MHZ. I'd like to set it at 1000 or 1100 MHZ as I'm getting random shutdowns; I'm assuming that my nook can't handle the high clocks. Should I just use SetCpu to set my clocks?
Edit: Nvm, setcpu won't work either. Can't choose anything between 800 and 1200
Thanks

I haven't updated in a while. But if you skip dals kernal and just use the stock CM7, it should let you set it to 950 (i think).
Got the same question for th e 4/24 kernel which I just installed (running Phiremod 6.2, BTW).

Might give that a shot. How that I get a hold of the stock N75 cm7 kernel? would prefer not having to format and install everything all over again.
You're not supposed to use SetCPU with CM7 for clock speeds (it can create a conflict); generally recommended to only use the built in CM7 settings.
The reason those are the only speeds you are seeing, is because those are the set speeds in the Overclock kernel itself (that is how it was designed).
So, you can try going back to the original nightly kernel (I don't think those kernels are posted by themselves); OR you can also try flashing the stable 1.1 kernel by Dalingrin. This has more speed than stock, but less speed than the test kernel you are using now.
How do I go about updating 4/04 kernel for ext4 compatibility? Browsed the forums and was only able to find the 4/24 one.

Just flash the version of CM7 that you like over it. But don't wipe your Data or Cache. If you Flash CM7 over CM7 it should be cool. As always make a back up if you're concerned.
Hi Guys!
I searched the forum and Google but I found nothing about the question, and what I found was very vague.
I would like to know how to overclock to 900Mhz on my GT540, I think I should increase the voltage to run the overclock, but could not find anything about this either. The maximum that can be stable is 806MHz.
They said it's only a few GT540 thats run on 900Mhz.
This information is correct?
Thanks for the reply! And sorry for my bad English.
Theres no need to overclock to 900, its will more than likly drain your battery in 6 hours. And not even make a difference to the performance.

Humm, but I am curious on Quadrant results... and maybe 100 will make difference in some games?
I Play much games on my Phone LOL.
And thanks for your fast response!
What games?
I installed SwiftDroid v2.0 M5 and OC to 806 MHz. Angry Birds (+ Seasons & Rio) doesn't lag any more . What do you want more ?
It's about how much you can overclock the our phone depends on which part of the silicon has been made the processor and depends on kernel. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do.

I can overclock my phone at 900mhz but it's not very stable.
I had mine at 850MHz for a while. 800MHz is a lot more stable.
My phone will boot at 900MHz, but it's not very stable. Without cooling, and voltage control, you can't overclock a phone too far without losing stability.
i tweaked mine to 1ghz
but it only lasts about 30 seconds then it crashes out and reboots
i can get 864mhz to run stable without trying
i am gonna upload a tut for the 1ghz thing and i want to know how did they get
864mhz stable

Would be nice.
But 1Ghz is Danger, becuz our processor its make to 900Mhz. I think so.
MSM7227 is officially specified UP TO 600MHz
see link -> h**p://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7227&c=qualcomm_msm7227
800MHz+ is already very good (+33% OC), got mine stable @ 880MHz (+46% OC)
How you get that stable?
sent from my gt540 mur4ik RC0 806mhz
Mine crashes when overclocked above 748MHz. But I don't mind.
Sorry I forgot: I use Mur4iks M4
There's no secret involved in this. All CPUs are manufactured to meet a guaranteed clock speed. That is the speed they have to meet in order to pass QC. Some CPUs will be able to run a little faster and some will be able to run a lot faster but all will be set at the default speed. The variance is just a factor of the manufacturing process. If you're lucky you get one that can do 900, if not, well you can't complain unless it won't do 600...

Hi guys. I'm planing to overclock and I want to know what do I put for min CPU frequency and max CPU frequency?
I'm running 2.3.7 swiftdroid 2.0
Thanks in advance
make sure the settings are not set on boot, min 122 then for max slowly increase from 600 then so on.. if the phone hangs take out the battery. this way you will know the maximum the cpu can go

I've been trying to find the best procedure to oc/uv my Droid X running rooted stock GB. Currently I'm using Milestone Overclock to adjust the max frequency and set vsel, as well as SetCpu for custom profiles. Milestone Overclock appears to only allow modifying vsel for the max frequency (rather than a distinct vsel for each frequency).
Is it sufficient to use Milestone's single vsel modification? Or should I be using another OC app like QuickClock for the best uv results?
Thanks for any help
I only use Milestone. Works for me. Battery life is fine.
I'm running at 1300MHz and vsel of 69.
Phone is stable and does not reboot itself.
I've used Droid Overclock an it has worked excellent.

I also recommend Droid Overclock. Very easy to use and the product is great!
I have been using JRUMMYS droid o/c and it worked well on froyo, it still works on GB but doesn't seem to have the same effect as it use to. I still like it for all the other features though. I have tried and tried to use milestone o/c and no matter what the settings it locks up my phone. Not sure why, I guess I am one of the lucky ones that can't o/c my cpu very much.
Thanks for the great responses. I've been experimenting the last few days with Milestone OC and the phone is regularly freezing up, and requires a re-boot. I expected this to go away as I lowered the cpu frequency or raised the voltage, but nothing has worked very well.
I am beginning to suspect launcher pro may be the cause. So I've gone back to the stock launcher and will see if the rebooting problems persist when overclocking.
So in CM7 there is an option to overclock the Desire Z.
Now my question is if I can do this without having to worry about damaging my phone?
For example, the desire Z has a 800MHZ processor, so will it damage my phone to overclock it to 1000MHZ? Or maybe 1200 MHZ?

well it depends if your kernel allows overclocking to that speeds. if it dosent its very risky but if it does support it then its not that risky. for me i have e kernel that goes to 1.7 ghz so i safely clocked it to 1.5 ghz
Sorry, I'm really a noob, but what kernel do I have with CM7?
And where can I get other kernels?

sorry but i dont sure CM7, im using virtuous unity rom so i wouldnt know. but im sure your using the stock kernel that comes with cm7. just ask someone who has cm7. also there are a wide variety of kernels that you can use. just search them up on google or the xda developer forums
The CM 7 Kernal will allow you to overclock up to 1.5ghz (which for the DZ/G2 seems to be the consensus of a 'safe' overclock)
One thing to remember is that not all processors are created equal. Meaning that although we all have the same processor in our phone, some processors are able to handle overclocking better than others. It also depends on what you use your phone for and how much you need the overclock for what you are doing. I ran my device at 1.2 ghz for a while and now run it at 1ghz as it feels plenty fast to me. When playing some graphic intensive games, a higher overclock may help performance as well.
If you overclock and your phone starts to act up, then dial it down a bit. 1.5ghz is fast as hell but will alter voltage and affect battery life as well. Just play around with and see where you like your CPU speed to be at. But you shouldn't have to worry about damaging the processor by overclocking. If its more than it can handle, you will know quickly and can tone it down.
So just for example if I'm going to use Virtious(I quit because it's lagging on the Desire Z) and install this kernel and overclock my desire z up to 1,500 mhz, virtious should run way smoother, right?

if your kernel doesn't support overclocking, you can't overclock no matter what... there is nothing "unsafe" about overclocking without an overclocking kernel because it cannot be done.
OP: cyanogen has its own overclocking kernel (with capability up to 1516mhz) built-in. as far as safety, it depends on your device, but the most common worst-case scenario is random restarting issues or waking issues.
on CM7, with a launcher other than the bundled ADW launcher which is choppy and slow no matter how high you're clocked, you should be able to have a smooth experience at stock speeds. I am clocked at between 1017 and 1209mhz at any given point as I have been since January and I haven't ever experienced wake or random reboot issues. YMMV but I think the general consensus for the Vision is that a mild overclock is very safe.
HELP!
I overclocked my DZ, but didn't really notice any difference, since CM7 is pretty smooth without overclocking, but know suddenly my device begins to lag very very bad. I put the CPU limit back to 245MHZ to 806MHZ but it keeps lagging:-(

which governor are you using? which launcher? have you rebooted?
hey folks,
I would like to know what is the maximum stable overclock possibe for zte blade.
Im using cm7 nightlies and the max overclock frequency i can see is 864MHz. But my device will be stable only upto 691MHz or 710MHz.
What is your blade's max stable overclock.?
I heard some other android devices can be overclocked to their maximum value and remain stable at that value. What about ZTE blade. I think blade gets a lot of performance if it reaches stable at 864MHz. I don't bother the battery life or overheating really.
Is there any hack or something like that.?
672 max stable for me, my old one did 748. depends on your phone.
Has anybody had it over 800 stable?

I think it doesn't really change the speed with that governor, it's designed so you use a program to set the speed yourself, except none exist, I assume it doesn't work at all without it. It needs something to write the desired speed to a system device, if nothing does that then it'll just stay at the same speed.
Test new speeds with performance governor, that keeps the cpu at it's maximum speed, it's not ideal for battery life but you can see if it really is stable at that speed.
I got my blade to 806 mhz, too. I stress tested it with setCPU, and it was stable.
I didn't have the guts to test higher than 806, though.
and I don't leave my phone on overclock.

Just make sure that it isn't set to overclock on boot when you're testing higher speeds. Then the worst that can happen is it crashes & you know it doesn't work. Needs to be done in the name of science, so I know if it's worth enabling 864mhz & above in my kernels, or if nobody can ever get that high.
Nobody has managed to overvolt our cpu (msm7227) yet, I checked Google, it's probably not realistic to hope for it. I'm not sure it's possible at all. So whatever the maximum stable speed for your phone is, you're stuck with it, it'll never get any faster.

It's a totally different cpu to the blade. I could add an option to make your phone run at 1ghz if you want, but it'll just crash straight away, the samsung has a faster & different cpu. We'd need more volts to even attempt it.
Your phone will never run faster than 710mhz stable, if that's what you can get. There is no possible way, other than buying a different phone, to make it run any faster.
I'm still interested to see if anybody can actually run their phone at 864mhz without it crashing, for those few people, they might be able to go faster.
@wbaw , thanks for the info.
Surprised to hear that no one attempted to overvolt msm7227 . I feel it is still a great cpu with adreno 200 included and many current low end phones are having it.
i can get 748 on performance i had it for about half an hour with no reboots
I saw on Antutu benchmark that some people got their blades to 1.5 ghz.
It's probably a hoax.
