Overclocking?

Any guide for overclocking DHD?
HTC HERO - HTC HD2 - NOW HTC DESIRE HD & SAMSUNG GALAXY S Bring on the modding.

After rooting your phone and stuff, you will be able to install a new kernel (sometimes present in a custom ROM).
Different kernels support different options. Some let you clock the processor above 1 Ghz. When you have installed such a kernel, download the SetCPU app (also there on the marketplace). With SetCPU you can adjust the clockspeed.
Couldn't find a guide that fast, but it isn't that hard. Just install a kernel (or custom rom with a kernel) that support overclocking and download SetCPU.

[Q] setCPU

Hi...I have just bought my new Huawei U8800 and I am a complete noob in the android world. So, I want to to put my CPU at 1,2 Ghz with setCPU and I have read that I need to put a custom ROM and change the kernel and I just don't know wich of both I should use or even how to install them..... I have read that Franco's kernel is pretty good, but again, I'm a noob....
Thanks for the answers in antecipation...

1. You need root: ROOT
2. You need clockwork recovery: RECOVERY
3. Then you can upgrade to custom ROM : VOID or OXYGEN or MIUI Void is probably the most stable, but Oxygen and MIUI is Android 2.3. There are a few more ROM's, but this is the best @ XDA.
4. You can now download SetCPU, buy from market or download here: SetCPU
5. If you want you can install franciscofranco's kernel for you ROM: FRANCO.KERNEL I use it for my Oxygen ROM.
You need to read a little bit to understand what to do, but in the end it's all worth it

Thanks for your answer, I just don´t understand what you mean when you say tha OXYGEN and MIUI are android 2.3????

That is the version; Froyo is "Android 2.2.x" and Gingerbread is "Android 2.3.x". So Void is Android 2.2.2 Froyo, Oxygen and MIUI are Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. Gingerbread is newer than Froyo, and better

so, if i install OXYGEN or MIUI, i get android gingerbread in my phone, right???

Yes, but MIUI looks not like stock 2.3 Gingerbread, while Oxygen does. Watch som videos on YouTube. I personally like MIUI and will use it as my default ROM when it becomes stable/bugfree, but now it isn't and Oxygen has a little fewer bugs. But, You must choose what you like and want

If you install the latest version of OXygen, you don't need SetCPU anymore. It has all it's functions embedded in the Oxygen Settings.

Did you managed to install a custom ROM? There is a new version of MIUI with almost no bugs which I'm pretty happy with

I didn't do it yet, I had connection problems in my computer, but I just want to ask another two thigs:if I root my phone will I have the same language in the system, and if I put a custom ROM??? And if I have any problems with the phone, can a flash the original ROM because of the warranty???How????

Rooting the phone does not change the language selection. Not all custom ROMs necessarely support all languages though, just try it out.
If you want to revert your phone to stock settings just download the firmware directly from huawei (there is a install-guide provided i think).

Stock ROM Overclock(Question)

Hi there!
My GTI 5800 is with the froyo 2.2 update from the Samsung Kies.
I like very much how it looks.. colorful icons, colorful settings, everything..
Today i decide to overclock it, but im not sure about some things, and i would like to ask you guys.
1.Should I use custom kernel ? and is it a safe for my phone, also is he will affect my battery consumation?
2. How much i can overclock it ( In MHZ) ?
if you have some experience with that guys please share
And if i overclock it succsessfully, what will be battery lasting difference (if you have already try of course).

1. Yes you can use custom rom i prefer to use G3Mod and it is quite safe and as for battery consumption it depends on how old your battery is i suppose
2. the max i think is 1260Mhz but you can adjust it using setcpu

I think first you'll need to root your phone using 'superoneclick root' (search it in google). Then flash a custom kernel. The guy above says G3MOD but the new G3MOD kernels have horrendous battery drain so for overclocking you should use fugumod ultra (which overclocks to 1366MHz) or fugumod 800MHz (which obviously overclocks to 800MHz).
You can control how high you want the MHz to be using pimp my cpu app (free on play store) or setcpu (paid app on play store).
Your battery life will be about 2 days if you use the 800MHz and 1 or 2 days if you use the 1366MHz one. Whichever overclocked kernel you use, it WILL decrase your battery life.
Click thanks if I helped

first root your device using superoneclick.. fellow instruction in below link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011555
then flash OC .tar file of G3Mod kernel using odin from there..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26082562#post26082562
after flashing the OC kernel install setcpu to control overclocking frequencies...
if u r new to the flashing then follow the below step..
1) Start Odin (if using windows 7 or vista right click Odin and use run as administrator)
2) Check "One Package" checkbox
3) Check “Reboot” checkbox
4) Check protect ops checkbox (Don’t check this if you are flashing I5801 with I5800 firmware for the first time.)
5) Check reset time checkbox, keep the default value as it is i.e. 300 don’t select any other options.
6) Hit reset files button once.
7) Click ops button and select OPS file for I5800
8) Click one package and select the firmware you want to flash. The file must a .tar file.
9) Now connect your phone to pc.
10) Odin will show yellow color and com port no. in the first box on top in Odin.
11) Click Start and watch the progress bar and timer, wait until PASS message appear on Message box.
12) wait until rebooting phone.
FIRST REBOOT WILL TAKE TIME SO BE PATIENT...
if it helps hit thanks button..

I cannot follow you here...g3mod 2.5 gives you high stability and more battery live than stock. dunno how a custom kernel does things differently, but my last cycle was 4 days. (low usage of course)

IMHO Fugumod kernels are more stable.

667 mhz is the perfect
there is a kernel 1400 mhz but is only for i5801 "g3mod v1.9 extreme"
for i5800 there is a kernel 1336 mhz kernel "g3mod v2.1 oc+"
when the of overclocked to 700 mhz and up the phone finishes the battery very (one or two hours)
at 667mhz overclocked you can surf on the internet play games and more other
for more then 9 hours and have left to you another 50% battery to do with
THE BEST KERNEL IS G3MOD NON-OC V2.4

No offence but you don't have a clue what you're saying. Any kernel on this forum will work on i5800, i5800L and i5801. Also, 667MHz is the normal frequency. It is not overclocked. Anything over 667MHz is overclocked.
The best OC kernel would have to be fugumod 2.4 800MHz in my opinion but some users prefer G3MOD but it causes crazy battery drain for me. Fugumod is overclocked and it also has good battery life and stability.
Press the thanks button if I helped

I changed my opinion and installed Kyrllos 9.6 ROM. I like it. it`s a fast and without any problems.
I use it with G3MOD 2.5 NON-OC kernel and i have good speed and about 2 days battery life.
Now i will try fugumod 2.4 beta3-OC-800mhz kernel. I tested standart version but phone lags. otherwise the battery life i s amazing with it.
P.S
fugumod 2.4 beta3-OC-800mhz causes lag too. I will back to G3Mod 2.5 non-oc

defy+ wr2.1.1 next gen some questions

I used white rabbit since first version, awesome rom, except 1.8 that i hate a bit but generaly AWESOME, tried other roms... a lot of roms but nothing like as wr roms. Only speak about me defy+ bl7 cwm bootmenu recovery 5.0.6 and 2nd init 1.4 or 1.7 dont remember exactly, but think version 1.4 installed.
Questions:
1.
setcpu, 4 vsels actives 300/17 600/32 800/42 1000/52 ondemand .all modules. sched:0 and all other options untouched, by default
300 40/%
600 2-8%
800 1-7 %
1000 45-57%
think that vsel 2 and 3 rarely used, why? Is it caused by a bad voltages configuration?
2.
Defy+ need or not need a fix for battery
What we rely to some users with the same phone with the same rom
make use or not use of the fix?
thank you guys!

Some questions about the hd 2

I have a htc hd 2 and I have some questions. I was able to install 4.4.2 kitkat via recovery, but i will install slimkat, beacuse the version of the rom I currently have is really bad. If I run on kitkat which kernel is fastest and overclocks the hd 2 to like 1,5 or 1,8 ghz? Second question is which rom is the best and fastest kitkat rom maybe slimkat? Third qeuestion if I am running on kitkat can i overclock the gpu too?

OC ? ... How about hand grenade instead ? ( it's cheaper )

Dear friend ... As I read , You want to install a ROM for OC .... But I don't recommend you to Do it because it may Make HD2 Switch into HC2 ( which as you know is a High Powered explosive ... :laugh: ) But anyway I can't tell you what to do Or what Not to do ,But I'll give my recommendations here :
1- Well about the Kernel I should say that if your not a Dev , don't play with kernels and try to use the ROM's own kernel but if you can't , you can try Tytung or Marc's Kernel , especially Marc's kernel because aazzam16661 overclocked his one to 1.5GHz as he said
2- About the ROM I should say that it's a bad Questions and maybe the Mods Delete my post but I recommend you to try this On CLK ( The best of these ) also This and This work well ... But always Remember that KK isn't Fully Compatible with HD2 and GB works Best On LEO For example This is one of the Bests ...
3-The answer is yes ... You can OC your GPU chipset
OC recommendations :
1- Don't play too much with the CPU clock because it harms CPU
2- If you felt your Phone is getting a bit warm , Reset the CPU clock into default to avid CPU chipset's blow !!!
3- Don't play Heavy games on the phone because it makes the ROM burn the CPU chip ( if want to play heavy games , try the GB ROM I gave you ... it can Run almost all games ... MC4 - Gangstar Vegas - NOVA 3 - Dead trigger ,... )
4- If you OC , Your ROM may don't boot after a reboot , means your CPU doesn't have the ability to handle the Clock so to get back your data , make a full backup of the ROM in Recovery , then make a full wipe then re flash the ROM and finally go to "advanced Restore " and restore the data partition ...
5- try to enjoy :laugh: :laugh: ... Good luck
With Best Wishes
