[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

Oh !! nw ive already flashd the 130 kernel ... what steps shd i follow to flash HCDR Jacobs Kernel v4.1 ... or the 055 kernel

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.

point in the right direction - overclock mods

Hi all,
amazed by all the knowledge on this site! used the search tool but cant make heads or tails or it
so please could someone point me in the right direction towards overclocking or to liter mods than the HTC. as the phone is good, but things like Angry Birds etc, just drop frame rate etc.
Thanks all

Install Cyanogenmod 7, you can overclock from cyanogenmod settings. There you can set max cpu mhz and min. cpu mhz, as well as governors wich control the frequency.

If you want to keep sense then use wildpuzzle v8 with the overclock kernel then get setcpu from the market thats if you dont want to use cyanogenmod anyway

Thanks for the replys guys, but after some googling i couldnt find a guide in which i feel safe in attempting.. does any know where there is some kind of step by step?
Thanks again

After rooting, I installed the nFinity mc4 kernel on my Froyo stock rom... Very easy and quick to do.
Now I can under/overclock and Angry Birds is working perfectly!

I did the same, no need to flash a custom rum. Just flash the kernel you like in recovery and install SetCPU from the market and u can overclock the CPU and set profiles (screen off etc)

kernel for CM 10.2 with overclocking capabilities?

I probably searched for oc kernel for days now.There isn't right?

have you even looked in the development forums
there are lots of kernels that have oc capabilities, and that are compatible with cm 10.2.

Yes i do. Mybe the problem is in me,could you give as a link to 1 kernel for example.Thanks.

trinity kernel, latest, tf4h is the name http://goo.gl/wteFmX
it can be clocked to 1728mhz, but you need a cpu control app for that. its defaulted to 1026mhz when it boots. dont let the 1026mhz scare you, its as quick as many other kernels at 1512mhz
trinity fours xda thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083904&page=2189
just flash over what you have now, dont wipe a single thing! make a nandroid backup in recovery if you want

You might wanna give him TF3 Full instead if he wants to use 4 cores instead of 2, or maybe something like TF133 if he's on 4.2 :good:

serious problem with camera

hi
i've this problem with some kernels.. suddenly some graphical glitches appear in camera and also output picture
i thought it's because of undervolt.. but even overvolting didn't help.. what's the problem?

Like you said I think it's just certain kernel incompatibilities. I had the same problem with Google Maps on AOKP M2 with Ziddeys kernel.

but there are many kernels with problem to me.. and when i asked in their thread, no one had this issue..

Plz help

Ok, I give it a try. To start it would be good to know what your current setup is. Please post Android version, recovery, rom and kernel.
And in addition are u using an app to tweak the kernel u're using?

tnx dude
this problem exist in most 4.3 rom/kernels.. it's there in all undevolted kernels.. but overvolting won't fix this..
it's weird,, my cpu type is fast.. it should be bear much undervolting..
i've edited twrp recovery.. and using FauxClock

not that easy to say beeing on fast bin chip should allow much undervolting. Obviously you gone to far and getting glitches on camera.
First thing I'd do is clear data and uninstal fauxclock and reflash my current rom (wipe cache and dalvik). Now back on stock kernel (most likely since most roms using stock one) with stock ramdisk etc. I'd try camera and see if it is working without glitches. Then choose the kernel to go and I'd use the related tweaking app (Faux kernel = faux clock, semaphore = semaphore manager and so on) and undervolting step by step checking if camera works in between.
Check your kernel thread you might some posts of how much people undervolted.
A little bit informaion about undervolting can be found here:

By overvolting you mean going over the default voltages? I think this could be indeed result in the same issue as undervolting to much. But just a wild guess and I don't know why to overvolt at all.
Applying the default kernel voltages should solve your issue...does it?

Overclocking the MXP

So i've meaning to ask, have anyone tried to overclock the MXP? I mean like overclock past thought 1200MHz and so on?
and the overheating issue is a b*tch being to me when i try to overclock it with "Kernel Adiutor",of course I couldn't past through the 1200MHz limitation but hey, it was an interesting experiment.

Its a kernel thing.

There are cheap Chinese phones out there with better specs than this phone. Rather than overclocking & risking to damage it, I would say getting those phones are a good alternative solution.

Try the latest squid kernel. The overclock is just mild to keep everything stable.

The kernel must also support this overclock and the only option you have is squids kernel. 1209Mhz on the little and 1708Mhz on the big cores is the limit at this moment. You cant overclock a stock kernel only using a kernel manager.
