[Q] Cyanogenmod 6.1stable: Overclocking? Market?

Hi... sorry to bother you... but i can't figure out those things by myself.
Why the kernel in the stable version isn't overclockable? While in the nightlies it is? should i flash it apart?
Then... i flashed the google apps first, and then the patched market v6... but it's not working... why?

You sure you can't overclock your CM6.1.0 Stable?, i can overclock mine..
You can always flash the kernel that HCDR.Kernel v4.1 provided somewhere here in this forum section, i think its the same kernel that CM6 is using for all its build starting RC2.
Oh BTW, here's the link for your convinient..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471

No Way! i flashed the kernel that you gently posted, but when i run "set cpu" the max value i can set is 528 :S
The market isn't working neither... Stable sto cazzo! (italian idiom to say it's not stable at all)
It's slower then my previous cyanogen... which was, if i recall, nightly build6!
Anyway... i read a few comments on the main thread of the cyanogenmod... i understood that build 50 is one of the best... do you advice me to flash that nightly, or do you have a better idea?

i am using the Stable build,, i did not flashed the HCDRKernel,, IMO it is incorporated in the CM stable build,, do wipe ur data and install the ROM again.. u should be able to OC... BTW nightly#50 is also a gud one.. u cn giv a try to it too..

I think you need the v5.2 market patch, as the mod doesn't have the latest market version. I suspect you'll need to wipe and reinstall to undo the changes v6 has done to the market.

Just check the CPU speed steps on "Info" in SetCPU app, if you have more steps above the 528 - there is OC kernel.. Mine has max value of 528 too, but t is enough for me, cause it's quite fast.
I made some profiles for battery levels by decreasing priority and it perfectly overclocks CPU if I want.
Also, yesterday flashed market v6 on CM6.1 and it works smooth.

same here... max value i can set is 528...
try another kernel, the 2.6.32.27 oc uv xtra neon fp, didn't work...
godspeed don't work...

[Q] How do I flash a kernal?

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 ?

Fastest rom to overclock with?

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?

I would suggest, since you are already running 7.0, check the link Kyrillos ROM v7.1 and update your ROM to v7.1 (its so much better, though optional), post that Flash G3Mod v 1.6 Kernel.
Then using Set CPU you can OC more than 800 Mhz.
Note : Dont forget to read the instructions carefully for Kyrillos 7.1 ROM, G3Mod Kernel and SetCPU.....remember, you do all this at your own risk..check my signature for my stats...

1.i have kyrillos 7.0 non-oc so i dont know if i can upgrade to 7.1
2.i had G3mod v 1.6 but my phone freezed after 3 min of using it so i flashed fugumod
3.i dont want to overclock more then 800 MHz because i dont want my phone to die

Go to 7.1 link given above, and save the file in your SD Card and rename it as update.zip
Then from CWM recovery, install it and you would have 7.1 (read the link, you got to have 7.0 installed to install 7.1, which u already have)
2ndly as far as OC goes, no one would want to have their cell die..my question is Do you guarantee that OC at 800 Mhz will not make ur phone dead? (just a food for thought, dont make this bug you )
What i normally do is, using SetCPU i OC only while playing game..i normally keep it as 600-1200 MHz, on demand.....after I am done...i set it back to 200-800 Mhz on demand...and I normally play for a couple of hours at stretch...nothing has happened to my phone so far...but at the same time, I know when you run at max speed, you are bound to tire early....decide what you want more

a friend told me that 7.1 isn't that diffrent from 7.0 so i don't think i will update

maybe u can try set it on performance that always helps a bit for me but i dont know

I am surprised...you sure have not visited the link for 7.1 and read the changelog for what all has been updated vis-a-vis 7.0.(though as stated in my 1st post to you above, it is optional, what you need to decide is whether to have a Kernel which lets you to overclock, if at all you intend to overclock at higher values.)....have what suits you cheers mate.

thx for this help !
I'm looking forward to do this update (didn't know it was possible with that zip)
Some Q:
- Will it keep all installs, settings and apps as they are now? (I have K7.0-OC)
- I have G3-1.7 (looking forward to the battery fix), won't it harm this kernel or will of flash the fugumod again? (and do I need to reflash afterwards?)
- I have ext4 with many installs, won't it be damaged after updating?
- I don't have a swap, is it needed? Does it make a difference? (in the g3mod app I've set all to ext4, does this move the swap to ext4? It's 500Mb and half used by now...)
I wouldn't want to ruïn my system now, since it's finally running (not always smooth, dough...)

I suggest using fugumod ultra as that has an OCed bus so games wont lagg.

SWAP is used as a temporary memory, it is only optional, so choice is yours, I had it in past, right now, i dont have it on my configuration.
I wouldn't want to ruïn my system now, since it's finally running (not always smooth, dough...)
If its not running smooth, why do you worry about not ruining it, you can try various things on the forum, and you will have finally known, what to keep and what not to!
Others will give their views too here so you would know.

I installed, but it didn't ask for wiping (do I HAVE to do it manualy, because it's better not of course, now that I have everything installed.)
Also, I think it makes my phone slower :-/
Or would the wipe help???

Dont worry about the quadrant score, its misleading.
You can get a higher quadrant score by some tweaks, but more importantly.
See if your phone is more responsive, much faster, no lags, no freezes. If it is there, quadrant doesnt matter.

Brother, it does not ask for wiping, you have to do it manually...Also Supercharger doesnt work for me however lagfix does, but again I would say more than quadrant score, you should be concerned about the performance of the phone and responsiveness.

Over-clocking

How do I go ahead and full set up overclocking? I tried one ROM, and installed G3Mod Extreme. Nothing seemed changed so I found a overclock app in the market and set it to 1200Mhz but then the phone crashes each time. And whatever I set it to it did not seem any faster and default was 600. Help would be loved.

G3mod extreme is not for someone who is mosly a beginer with OC the phone. Use g3mod performance or ultimate and setcpu for changing the frequency.

To do this do I also need a OC version of a rom like Kyrillos Rom OC version?

I think u only require OC kernel coz when i used indroid i had to use an overclockable kernel to be able to overclock it.

Which Kernel and what frequency?
Am a lil too confused as to which kernel do i flash.. There are so many kernels out thr now which are already overclocked.. An wen i flash an overclocked kernel, my phone doesn't boot at all.. So first I hav to flash a non over clocked kernel.. And then overclock it..
Can u guys pls suggest me some good kernel to do this..
And also.. Pls tell me to what frequencies do i have to set in SET CPU and in what profile...
Thank u

Try putting your phone into recovery mode and having a mess about there. Possibly do a data wipe.
