[Q] SetCPU Wont go past 528 : HTC Wildfire

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.

I guess this means CWR doesn't have a problem with flashing kernels anymore?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're really opposed to CWM, couldn't you just unzip the package, flash the kernel with fastboot and push the file in system/lib using adb?
Anyway, Smartass governor? Wow, having had a Droid X before I feel like I've really been out of the loop. Read up on it, I like it. It's good to have a kernel that I feel I can relate to.

Still charges in cwm when off just displays cwm recovery screen if fastboot is not enabled.

[Q] Overclocking With HCDR's Kernel.

First, I would acknowledge the great work HCDR has done !
With that done, I would like to resolve some of my doubts.
I just flashed CM7 and then 4.1 kernel of HCDR.Jacob.
SetCPU allows me to set max CPU speed of 768.. I keep it at 691 with on-demand scaling, but it automatically reverts back to 591 over a period of time.
Can anyone tell me why this happens ?!
Also, any insight on how this modes work would be appreciated.
If I want to manually want to force my phone to operate at a certain speed, how do I do that ?
Thanks,
P

If u are using CM7 why are using SetCPU?
CM7 has it's own OC settings features.. settings>> cyanogenmod settings>>>performance>>>cpu settings

Why are you flashing HCDR kernel? It's not necessary to do that anymore in CM7.

Thanks. I did not know that.
Is there anyway, I can revert back to original CM7 kernel. Coz I already flashed that kernel. Does it even make a difference ?!
One more thing, what CPU governor should be chosen ?!
I would want my phone to be auto-OCed when I play games but DCed when idle.
Would "on-demand" be a good choice ?! Or "smartass" is better ?

[Q] confused about kernal

I was wondering about the overclocking kernal for cm7. just how do i put it in. Do I have to do that when I first install or can I add it later. also does it really help. I mean is the difference really noticeable or not at all. I am still deciding if I should do it or not.

Kernels are flashed through ClockworkMod and can be flash anytime after you flash a rom. If you use the search bar you can easily find what particular kernel works for your setup.

OK, I think I found the right one but I was also wondering if I could install it when I first installed cm7. When I installed it I saw that it was searching for the kernel and for gapps but didn't find the n and skipped it. Could I install it then

CM7 has the ability to be overclocked as it sets.
settings > CM settings > performance > CPU settings.
just be extremely careful when Overclocking devices. it can takes it's toll in the long run.
and the g/apps are not kernel dependent they are ROM dependent.

OK but what do you mean by gapps are not kernal dependant

chad11 said:

On *UNIX based devices. They have a section of the firmware called the "kernel". The kernel accepts the coding, binary and scripts from the RAM/ROM and tells the hardware how to act, what to do, and when to do it.
The g/apps have nothing to do with the kernel.
The g/apps are Google's property and cannot be included in AOSP based ROMs. Those ROMs are developed from Google's code. And developers do not have the ability to add those at will. So we must flash them after/prior (depending on he ROM) to get the Google Apps.

YES! DO IT!
for me its like day and night, it so much smoother with dals OC kernel. and yes you can flash the OC kernel any time. you can flash cm7 rc1 then OC kernel in the same boot. or you can first install cm7 to check it out for a while and then later flash the new kernel. if you planning to flash dal's 6/18 kernel, make sure to get his app NC Tweaks.

thanks. What I want to know is how to flash it. do I do it the same way as gapps( have wifi and reboot in recovery mode) or is there a different way?

You place the over clock zip file in the root of your sd card and flash it through cwm like you would a rom or gapps. So for example you would flash cm7 then gapps then the overclock kernel.

When you move from stable cm7 to cm7 nightly the new kernel is included. However the included kernel is overclockable only to 975mhz. If you want a higher clock speed you'll have to use dals 6182011 kernel, up to 1200mhz.

I'm not following you cannot use just a Cyanogen(mod) kernel. They are built into their ROMs.

The latest nightly should be considered stable. It is in release candidate stable for the next stable build. The next stable build should be released in the next couple of days.

There is a Clockwork ROM Manager and a ClockworkMod Recovery image.
Together they are known as "CWM" Since one is a recovery and the other is a ROM manager.

Running stock rom, rooted, which kernel suggested?

Kind of burned out of flashing all these different roms. Dont get me wrong, I appreciate all the hard work everyone is providing for us. But I am burned out and wasting hours of my day flashing rom after rom etc.
So I went back to stock and rooted. But I did want to see if there was any advice on any kernel out there that I should be running with the latest stock build?
Thank you,

Der Kernel - Trinity. Comes in high OC version a96 to lower of but slightly irregularities a110 and many more. YMMV but this is a solid, customizable kernel.

Is there a secret to flashing the trinity kernel?
I reboot into TWRP, wipe cache and /dalvik 2x (old habit) flash Trinity, reboot but still shows previous kernel under settings?

whats your previous kernel and whats in say in kernel version? btw, you dont need to wipe anything when flashing a kernel. anyways, only if you are coming from franco kernel you have to reflash your rom with trinity kernel(flash rom, trinity, reboot). this is because franco kernel uses its own ramdisk(frano kernel tweaks are in there). trinity and just about every other kernel use anykernel which grabs the roms ramdisk usually(unless you had frano kernel). so you want to flash your rom, then trinity, then bootup to resolve the issue. after that you can just flash the kernel. remember, no need to wipe a thing when flashing kernels.
