[Q] Wildfire OverClocking

Hi guys,
Today I heard about over-clocking for wildfire that can increase the performance of the CPU. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Using SetCPU maybe? I;m not sure if it's on the market, I got it elsewhere. But I think you might need root access for that to work ;-)

you will need a kernel that have possibility to overclock. it will soon be here

do Puzzle rom support overclock ?

Check it out guys Good News for you

Yep, Im currently running on an overclocked Wildfire, with wildpuzzle ROM and the OC kernel from there. Awesome!

Which Version of WPR you have ? with the OC Kernel ? ^^

V 8.08 or whatever it is supports overclocking now

which means only rooted wildfire can be OC ? Haiz.. sad case.. 2.2 still cant root yet..

Hi there,
I'm now running the latest stable cyanogenmod 7.0.2, which also includes an OC-able kernel.
Linpack scores up to 5200!
Unfortunately you cannot install this yet if you upgraded your wildfire to android 2.2, there is no software rooting mechanism just yet. There is a hardware solution though, see the top 2 links in this thread for more info on that. (haven't tried these myself)
Hope this helps!

Could you give me some highlights about how the skype's voice sounds with an overlocked wildfire? Has any glitches?

My buzz is overclock to 749 mhz but Skype dont work certo food

Very good not certo food excuse me

Cyanogenmod 6.1 Overclocking?

I'm running CM 6.1 on my hero cdma and was wondering how to overclock it. I know I've seen forums on here about the same subject but the ones I've seen haven't helped at all. Can someone show me how to overclock mine past 528 mhz?

You're already OC'd to 691mhz if you are running CM6.1.

As far as I know, CM 6.1 already has an OC'd kernel.
If you want a different one thats better, stable, all around amazing go HERE and download Decad3nce's stable kernel (or whatever suits your needs) and flash it <--- I would do this
If you download Deca's mau5 themed rom or AOSP they both are OC'd with Deca's kernel.

Or you can get SetCPU from the Marketplace (or here) and it will overclock you're current kernal. It has different settings for power or performance. I didn't notice much of a difference and it gave me a couple problems on the power saving mode.

I think i will do that. Except I'm just confused by the instructions on that link. Could you try to clear that up for me?

All you do is flash it from recovery, as the instructions say.

is there a difference in performance/efficiency between CM 6.1+setCPU to overclock to 768mhz vs. using CM 6.1 with deca's modded 768mhz kernel?

AFAIK, the stock cm kernel will not oc to 768. That may have changed, but IMHO, deca's kernels are better. He's tweaked them to run smoother and more efficiently. Also, I would suggest the batt tweak instead of setcpu.

Im new to overclocking, I know what it basically is but. I just flash decas kernel from recovery and then what? Is it done? Also if it kills my battery how do I remove it?

Best Kernel For Sense ?

Any one have a vote for the best kernel to use on a sense rom ?
(battery life, speed, etc)

Faux123 is suppose to be good. When I was running sense I was running grankin's kernel and I was pretty happy with that one. I wish he would update the one for CM 7 though

Ya try Faux's stock kernel and if you have issue use Gr8grollia's v0.5 as thats the mother of all stable kernel.

[Q] Motorola Defy Kernels

hi guys, I would like to ask experienced users what is the difference between the kernels we used on our Defy(s)
Froyo Kernel vs Gingerbread kernel vs Walter79's Kernel
I first encountered this kernel upon viewing the CM9 update thread
I have a red lense defy and the very first rom I flashed was the official CM7.1 so I am aware I do have a Froyo Kernel running on this bad boy.
what is the difference/ advantages?
which is better?
is it safe to flash one over the other?
is it easy to flash? like how we flash roms? we can always go back to to Froyo kernel from the gingerbread or walter kernel and vice versa?
I think a lot of noobs would appreciate your answers.
I will edit this post and add your answers so that others may find it useful as well
some answers--------------------------------------------

Ans:My experience says that the main advantage of using GB kernel is battery life..
Defy-4.5.3-109_DPP-11-kernel is well known for awesome battery life.
which is better?
Ans: I personally think Walter79's kernel is better in every sense.Unfortunately for old defy owners(SOC camera green lens), camera wont work on new kernels without any extra fix..
is it safe to flash one over the other?
Ans: Yea its 100% safe..i personally never had any problem as such..but i heard few people faced bootloop..in any case you can always go back to froyo or watever kernel u were using
is it easy to flash? like how we flash roms? we can always go back to to Froyo kernel from the gingerbread or walter kernel and vice versa?
Ans: As i have already mentioned above, we can always switch between these kernels..just remember not to flash any GB kernel based sbf or else u will be stuck! before flashing any unknown or less known kernel PLEASE USE THE SEARCH option and know more about the kernel and related problems.
All the best

i would add, that many people state that GB kernel (2.3) has much better 3d performance - games are running much better than on froyo kernel.
It's easy and safe to switch between kernels, you should only remember that switching kernel must come with installing appropriate rom

thanks for the answer, somehow it has enlightened me
any more answers? which kernels allow 720p recording?

Thanks for this information bro!!
Please also share Camera fix (link) for GB kernel for SOC Camera and also mentioned whether downgrade is possible. Your help will be appreciated.

anyone correct me but we can do dual boot but can't install dual kernels?
say
cm7 (froyo kernel ) as system
cm9 (gingerbread kernel) on SD
and will Gingerbread kernel work with cm7 for the defy, red lense?

No, can't do it. Both ROM's should share the same kernel.

thanks Auris, would you be able to add anything or negate anything that was previously posted about the Defy Kernels?

Please help me a bit with those kernels! I have a defy+ with 2.3.6 base and one of those newest official build nandroids. Can I flash Walter's kernel? ^^
Just don't want any bootloader error!

Can I flash gb kernel? Also m having green lens.
Will the camera work on walters69 kernel?

thanks, guys. i've been looking for the answers

Is it okay to flash defy+ rom zip and then the gb kernel on a green lens defy? To me battery life is more important than camera

Walter79's kernel allows 720p recording for defy red lens.

Defy kernel Flash
i have a motorola defy green lens currently running cm9 4.0.4 (camera's not working but i don't care much for the camera ) . ok here's my problem i'm trying to flash a different kernel on my defy.. the current kernel im running is 2.6.32.9 cdt 2011 but i need better performance and i tried to flash semaphore kernel. the flash was successful but i see no changes and also in the settings>about phone the kernel version hasnt changed. i need help so that i can flash new kernel properly.. thanks

Hi!
I realize this is a very old thread, but it seems to be one of the few addressing the (dis)advantages of the froyo vs the GB kernel (independently of the ROM!).
The 720p-recording is really not important to me, but battery life is and I just read here that it would be better on GB kernel.
Do any of you have further experience with regards to battery-life difference between Froyo and GB kernels (not ROMs)!? Is it a big difference (to what extent or through which features?)
I have a MB525 with red lens and Froyo kernel, so I could go for a GB-kernel.
I've recently rooted my smartphone and flashed WIUI (3.1.27, GB&MIUI-based) on it, because (1) my phone was slowing down, (2) I wanted not to have any bloatware anymore and (3) I wanted some apps that only run on Gingerbread/2.3+ (e.g. the offline-language-package-feature from Google Translate). Almost everything is now better.
BUT, my battery life got worse! I've now down-volted my smartphone to a stable point and set it to 'smartassv2', but am looking for further improvement for the battery life. As WIUI can be installed both on froyo and GB-kernel, I might also update the Kernel...but only want to take the plunge if it really would make a difference...
any advice or experience is welcome!

best kernel/rom combo for tf300t

Hi mates, just received a brand new tf300t and after some teasting and official updates i'll root it and i'll try a new custom rom with oc kernel.
Now i'm with a nexus 7 3g with stock 4.3 android and custom kernel allowing 1500mhz cpu (max stable for me) and 533mhz gpu so i'd like a combo with similar performances.
Have you some suggestions for me? the aim is to have a 4.2.2 custom rom without any bloatware and a good kernel stable (i hope to be more lucky than with n7) at 1660mhz...it's a dream? thanks for your help, now i'm reading every thread about the new baby...
