Hi,I'm new to this forum and even newer to rooting.I recently just rooted my wildfire and have several question regarding it.I am currently using Wildpuzzlerom(the latest one with the transparent lockscreen,I can't remember what version)
When I overclock it,my phone constantly freezes up,is this normal and is there anyway to fix this?(I don't overclock it too much,just to about 600+/-)
What's a radio and how does it affect my phone?
I followed this guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891595) to partitioning my SD and instead of 165mb i only got 103mb.Is this normal?(after restoring all my apps I've got about 30+mb left)
Thanks for all the help in advance
Hi.
Which kernel have you flashed? Or do you have the one inside the ROM so you didn't flashed any kernel after the rom?
And what app do you use to set frequencies?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
been running wildpuzzle v.08 at 691max 245min set on performance with set cpu, not one freeze
if you use 130 kernel wifi hotspot will not connect
if you use 055 kernel frrom 8.0.11 thread wifi hotspot all good
ok,I've been using WildpuzzleRom v0.8 with "0130_kernel_overclock_jacob_2.6.32_v1.zip" kernel and overclock with setCPU at about 610+/-. It keeps freezing up and lagging even at 500+
Is your min value also 600+/-? If so, reduce it to 245 or something similar. Apart from that, several users report that setCPU istself is the source of instability, and, using Overclock Widget solved this. (Not verified by me)
ok,so what is the recommended Kernel to install(I have no idea what the differences are in kernels are,so just the most stable one will do) that is overclockable and stable and what is the recommended overcloking rate/range?
There is only one kernel so far for the Wildfire, and that is HCDR.Kernel. All other kernel's you see are modified versions of this kernel.
This kernel itself is very stable with no issues (on v4.1). However, as I said, some users have issues with the SetCPU App, and, they prefer Overclockwidget to SetCPU.
Recommended values would be around ~600-650 MHz Max, and ~245 Min, and, remember to create a profile for screen off with settings at 480-245 or something similar., when using SetCPU.
ok,thanks for the answer,now for the other questions
As I understand it radio is the lowest part of your phone software. It affects your signal reception (wifi, gps, phone). Battery consumption can change as well.

So no matter what kernel I use, when ever i use SetCpu (or overclock widget) to underclock my phone when the screen is off it causes the phone to freeze and I have to pull the battery out. I set it so that it goes down to 200mhz, tried 400mhz and experienced the same problem. Any ideas? Solutions?

I'm running Baked Snack 1.1, doesn't matter what rom or kernel I use though, it still happens.
It doesn't matter if I use overclock widget or SetCpu, if I were to set it so that my phone underclocks to 200mhz or 400mhz while the screen is off it freezes and I have to pull the battery.
Same here im running stock and i've tried setcpu and no matter what i hav to pull the battery out everytime. So i uninstalled it.

I had the same problem set the cpu with min of 400 and max off 800 should fix your problem

It means that there is not enough voltage run that frequency on your phone. Some times these kernel developers undervolt the phone which all phone don't support at all. Try some other kernel like the xtreme kernel. That kernel actually work for me and I can underclock my phone without freezing.

wow.. i just posted something like this i had set cpu installed since i rooted my phone last week. today i was playing with the settings because my music was stuttering.. i thought it might be a underclockign problem so i changed the profile to "ondemand" it made the stuttering better and everything seemed fine. about 12 hours later i got home and was playing with the phone. i updated 3 programs in market and all of a sudden my phone would go to sleep and not wake up. had to do a battery pull. i uninstalled the 3 programs i updated but the problem kept going. just uninstalled setcpu. hopefully it resolves everything

The use of profiles is not recommended on Galaxy S phones. The developer of SetCPU actually does not recommend using any other governor than conservative, even though we've been able to make Interactive work on some kernels.
I'm running Baked Snack 1.3 and found it to be stable at 1.2ghz using OC Widget. With screen on I have it set to min 400 and max 1200. With screen off it's set to min 400 max 600.
I too am having this problem. No mater what rom or kernal I use. It seems as if Setcpu and Overclock widget sometimes cant read the frequencies and let the phone underclock to 19.2Mhz which is probably like trying to wake the dead!
I wonder if it has anything to do with the new Superuser.apk? it always seems like setcpu is trying to get permissions. Maybe, I dont really know. Can one of you really smart people look into this?
In the meantime the only profile that I have set is screen off Max 800 Min 400, maybe that will work?
same issues here. i'm running with my screen off at min 100 and a max of 800. If i change my max to anything lower, my phone won't wake up. I'm running the latest VIPERrom. I'm hearing some mixed feedback about this app so i would like hear your feedback.
What i've gathered over the last several months, is that SetCPU profiles are buggy with our phone. Its recommended not to use profiles.
I'm fairly certain that SetCPU should not be used without a custom kernel that allows for over/under clocking. If you're on the latest ViperROM then you are using a kernel that we have no source code for, therefore it doesn't support over/under clocking; rendering SetCPU useless and prone to cause problems.

My SetCPU is using conservative and I haven't had any problems so far. I am running BonsaiROM 1.14.

If you have it set to under 200 with the screen off it won't wake up after a while.
I've had the same problem on all builds and ROMs that I've used. The only constant through all the different setups I've used were Advanced Task Killer and SetCPU. I stopped using ATK (with auto-kill on screen off, I use EStaskmanager for manual killing when phone is on) and the problem seems to be mostly fixed. It does still happen once in a blue moon though, say once every day or two.
Phoenix Kernel/Syndicate ROM 2.1
SetCPU: 100min/1200max
Screen off: 100min/200max
Batter < 30%: 100min/600max
I've been getting all sorts of instability with OC kernels, with the most stable being YA-OK. But even that would hang the phone after 10mins of angry birds or 25 mins of music via bluetooth. I tried all sorts of stuff and had settled on downscaling back to 1ghz using setcpu.
As it turns out the problem was setCPU. Even when I wasn't using it to scale, somehow it was causing a hang on my phone as i had it as a widget on my desktop.
Now i've removed both setCPU and xan's UV app and everything is fine. My quadrant score increased, can play angry birds with no hangs.
So, if you're having problems with an OC kernel, completely uninstall setcpu and any under voltage app before giving up. And make sure neither of them left any boot scripts lying around.
you can install setcpu but never put the wiget on desktop.. manual running it is fine. and seriously xan's app just make ur life easy by echoing values into respective sysfs location
oh, btw, have you tried my oc kernel? if 1.2ghz is not stable for u, there is the 1.12ghz one that you can play with.. good luck!
I have same experience with SetCPU. It is always causing freezees, no matter if I actually use it or not. There seems to be some sort of incompatibility. raspdeep is right, try 1.12, dont UV (at the begining ) and you should be fine.

actually right now i'm on doc's super stripped new rom with his own kernel... so far so good...
Hi all, not sure how to address this, but my battery's been a little crappy lately. I downloaded SETCPU after not using it for ages, and I noticed when i set it that my CPU seemed stuck on the fastest speed. Downloaded SeeCPU and confirmed. So though my min-max is set at 245-986, it's always on 986.
I'm using Kushdeck’s latest w/ the stock kernel (which is the cyanogen kernel), and I even went so far as to wipe all data and re-flash everything...still no luck. Any ideas on how to proceed?
Did you disable the perf-lock in setcpu?
We're comin from a pure power source.
Yes, perflock is disabled. I can lower the cpu speed, but it wont scale. So the default is 998, and typically I'd set the min/max at 245/998. I noticed that the CPU was always at 998, it never scaled down. Now I have the min/max set at 768/245 and it's always on 768. If perflock were disabled I thought I wouldn't be able to change the speed at all, though I may be wrong there...I also tried the perf unlocker in setcpu and it reports that it is already unlocked.
At this point I wiped data, cache, and Dalvik. Re-flashed the rom (deck's aosp rom) , stock kernel, practically no apps installed except setcpu and seePU to monitor usage.
Oh and the governor is the default, I think interactive...
Try another governor like conservative and see. After that I'd try another kernel or download the stock one again in case something is buggered in yours

Thanks already tried a different governor, tried a tiamat kernel, then said screw it and reinstalled the rom from scratch. Still having the same issue. I may go back to a sense rom to see of that makes a difference.
Hi, I know and understand what problem you're having. I had this on my desire. Run a ruu or flash a pb99img. The problem only happens on non sense roms. This is the only solution to make non sense roms work. Just try it. Good luck!

I ended up flashing back to Myn 2.2 (which is Sense) and it started working again. Thanks!
I have rooted abdroid 2.3.4 with cyanogen 7 and in the settings there is one that i can change the maximum value to cpu...Now is at 998....what value above that is the safest to choose with out the phone have any problem???
depends which rom it is
some can go up to 1.5 and some cant
Can also depend on the phone, I have 2 hd2s, one chuggs along nicely at 1075mhz, the other gives random slowdowns / hangs (4-5 a week,not lots but enough to be a pain) at any setting above 921mhz. Same rom,same installed apps, same data.

The best thing to do is scale up gradually, try each step above 998. OC then try it for 24hours, then try a step up and try it for 24 hours and so on. Do not check set at boot though just in case you pick a speed that causes problems.
What can go wrong???How do i see that it cant support a number??We are talking about maximum price and not all the time...???Someone that tried and have it overclocked????
What can go wrong???
It coukd stop booting and require a hard reset/backup restore.
How do i see that it cant support a number??
It will start to give force closes, hang, reboot, feel sluggish..
We are talking about maximum price and not all the time...???Someone that tried and have it overclocked????
Do a cwm backup and just try it, worst case scenario is it doesn't boot and you have to restore.

I would guess that the majority of users are overclocked. I, for example, am running my phone smoothly at 1.2 GHz without problems, but to be honest I scarcely notice the difference with overclocking. Dorimanx's kernel with 1.61 GHz overclock didn't really perform any better than Tytung r14 at 1.2 GHz.
Just do as the others said and try it out whilst making sure to uncheck 'set on boot', but I think any speed should really be fine.
I don't know what the general opinion is on this (some devs say it isn't a good app) but use setCPU in order to create profiles if you want, thus being able to reduce your standby battery drain and stuff like that
In the quandra the info of the phone whrites that the cpu is up to 1190mhz and know is at 998.Is this true?Can it go that much?
If so we can put it at 1113 that its safe?
I know that i ask again and again but i dont want the phone to lose or damage
Youre best bet would be to download setCPU and try different clock speeds . the thing about setCPU though is it has a stress test . So after you set a speed . you can run the stress test to test if its too high a value or if you are safe to run at that speed . just dont tick the box that says "apply at boot"
My phone (currently Dorimanx ROM) is stable at 1536MHz. On Cyanogen it was similar. On 1612 it had freezen for a few times while watching a flash video on youtube. Set it to 1,4GHz, and it should work fine. Phone will not damage, data too. Just as they written above, do not click apply at boot.
And make stress test for more than 10 mins, because I have done it for 10 mins, and as I written, it had freezed during YT watching.
The topest that it has is 1190..that is the last option !!!I put it at 1113 for one day know and i made a profile to go 573 when i close the screen.
Tomorow i try the next option antil 1190 ...and we will see
Tytung r10? Why not upgrade to another Kernel?
I think that's the core issue. Dorimanx kernels i.e. can be clocked solid to 1.2ghz
Oh, I've completly forgotten. I have used Dorimanx kernel with Cyanogen. But it doesn't let you reinstall rom from settings (Factory reset). You need to reinstall rom from zip or restore backup in CWM. On 1190 it will work stable for ever
I have a HD2 with an older version of android cooked on. Android version 2.3.7 Kernel version 2.6.32.15_tytung_r12.4-heebf2c Mod version is CyanogenMod-7.1.0 Desire (Typhoon_v3.7.0 Magldr) I think my radio is 2.15.50.14
I really need the wifi calling feature on my phone to work. Do all the roms have this problem on our phones? Would it be easier for me to just install a new rom? Every time I turn on wifi, the phone freezes completely. I read through the post regarding this issue, but there was no specific information given about how to overclock the phone. I downloaded nofrills cpu control and have tried random combinations, but was wondering the ideal oc speed?

I never used Tytung's GB rom but wifi generally works very well. I used it all the time with Typhoon GB, Tytung's ICS and JB.
For overclocking Install Setcpu from the Play Store.

Can you give me an estimated range I should set my cpu to? I can't find the thread, but somewhere along the line I read something about how you should over clock your processor in multiples of something. I'm not describing it well, but maybe it had something to do with a mhz speed and then a frequency or another unit of measurement for power. Like volts. I have no idea, what I'm trying to say is that I read there is some sort of calculation you need to figure out in order to properly adjust your cpu settings.

I think that all better apps for this already take care of much of what you are looking for. I know SetCPU does - in fact it has profiles for numerous phones, including the HD2. The one disadvantage that I tend to forget is that it isn't free. If you look at the app's description on Google Play you will get a lot of ideas. Likewise, the developer's web site also has some good info.
Briefly, I do not set any profile's low frequency below 245 MHz (potential SODs). The high-end you can experiment - if the HD2 locks up reboot and set it lower.
I have a default profile and change it to faster MHz if plugged in (I don't care about using more power when plugged in) or lower frequencies for sleep or overheating and such. If you do get SetCPU you can plug in the attached profiles (don't forget to unzip it first!) and see if you like any of them. They can all be changed or deleted, of course.
