I'm running the rooted Gingerbread v2.3.4 with S-OFF. I purchased and installed SetCPU from the market thinking I could overclock. Everything appears to be capped at 1 GHz. Maybe I have misunderstood the capabilities of SetCPU? Do I need to install a different kernel to overclock?
you would have to flash a different kernel to be able to overclock past 1ghz. since youre using Sense, Id recommend Darkside SENSE v7
OK. How would I go about backing up my current kernel or if I wanted to revert back, would I just reflash the original ROM?
Yes, back up the whole ROM, and revert to it if different kernel won't work.
Do the backup in recovery.

Thanks for the help.
I've been researching the one mentioned kernel as well as some of the other options. I'd really like to know what your opinions are on thederekjay's v2.6.35.14 demonspeed v7 kernel vs. faux123's v0.0.9? I'm wanting to keep as close to stock as possible - I'm just looking for the ability to overclock. Are there any others I should be looking at?
I'd go with the Darkside kernel. Its newer and you can use apps like incredicontrol or OC/UV beater to undervolt it. No offense to faux. He makes a great kernel. I just had better success with Derek's kernel.

go with demonspeed v7, its more updated and probably has a lot less bugs/more optimizations than Faux's because I dont think he devs for the mt4g anymore, so there hasnt been any updates. You can also try out the UNITY kernel by the Virtuous Team, great kernel as well

I'm having trouble locating this kernel by itself. If anyone has a link, that would be much appreciated. I can only find the entire ROM. Also, in the technical notes, I read this...
Virtuous overclocking daemon will automatically be disabled if an overclocking tools (such as SetCPU or CPU Tuner) is installed. Installing these tools is not advised, as the virtuous_oc daemon responds far more rapidly to screen state changes than any Android (Java) application.

I'm not familiar with the virtuous_oc daemon but it sure sounds like what I need to use. Any experiences with this vs. SetCPU?

Found a link to Unity v10 in the Unity v9 thread. Lol.
This is for the daemon:

This is the app to adjust the daemon's settings as well as voltages:

Thanks for the links. I gather from the kernel filename, virtuous_kernel_comb_v10_from_beta2.zip, that v10 is still in beta? I think I read that v10 development has been abandoned. Is that your understanding? I certainly could be wrong. I've read so many threads in the last few days my eyes are crossing!
Not sure. I never really used unity, as I wasn't in the mood for sense for about a year. Don't be afraid of a beta kernel. If you don't like it, just flash v9.
I hate to be a turd, but if you could hit the thanks button I'd be... Thankful. Lol
I only have 4 because I don't push it. BTW, you can PM me anytime. I'll help if I know how.

I'm running CM 6.1 on my hero cdma and was wondering how to overclock it. I know I've seen forums on here about the same subject but the ones I've seen haven't helped at all. Can someone show me how to overclock mine past 528 mhz?
You're already OC'd to 691mhz if you are running CM6.1.

As far as I know, CM 6.1 already has an OC'd kernel.
If you want a different one thats better, stable, all around amazing go HERE and download Decad3nce's stable kernel (or whatever suits your needs) and flash it <--- I would do this
If you download Deca's mau5 themed rom or AOSP they both are OC'd with Deca's kernel.
Or you can get SetCPU from the Marketplace (or here) and it will overclock you're current kernal. It has different settings for power or performance. I didn't notice much of a difference and it gave me a couple problems on the power saving mode.

All you do is flash it from recovery, as the instructions say.
is there a difference in performance/efficiency between CM 6.1+setCPU to overclock to 768mhz vs. using CM 6.1 with deca's modded 768mhz kernel?

AFAIK, the stock cm kernel will not oc to 768. That may have changed, but IMHO, deca's kernels are better. He's tweaked them to run smoother and more efficiently. Also, I would suggest the batt tweak instead of setcpu.

Im new to overclocking, I know what it basically is but. I just flash decas kernel from recovery and then what? Is it done? Also if it kills my battery how do I remove it?

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 ?

In CM7 RC2 this option is not available. This is why i using setCPU app too.
What is the easiest way to overclock, I know that a different kernel is needed to overclock, but does overclocking require a completely new ROM
Thank You!
You only need a new kernel if you're running stock froyo.
There's a lot of apps on the market that offer overclocking (SetCPU is a nice one)
Easiest way to overclock is choosing cm7. No extra apps or kernels needed. It has inbuilt oc kernel and options for setting CPU frequency. And greater stability at higher clocks too.

Sorry to be a pain; do you have an idea of which kernel I should use?
Some other user might give better info, since I'm not using an HTC Sense based rom/stock.

Is that a Sense ROM? If so, the latest Incredikernel's are for AOSP GB and AOSP Froyo ROM's. He has a Sense 2.2 kernel, but Incredicontrol won't work with it (I don't think so anyways...?).
You could try tiny's kernel, which is for Sense 2.3 ROM's, but I don't think he has the included items needed for Incredicontrol to work.

I'm using tiny's kernal for the sense rom. I believe you can use Incredicontrol to work audio boost and fast USB charge. However, tiny's kernel doesn't support voltage adjustments.

That is correct, it doesn't. I hope to be able to release it with that function sometime after the source drops though for the gingerbread kernel.

you said not ported? if you meant the kernel then there is no such thing for gingerbread yet that is custom.

Hello, i have virtuous 2.0 rom installed, and i'd like to get some info about kernels before flashing anything, if you have any advice or experience with this rom and tried kernels on it it would be nice to let me know, i did some research but i am kinda lost, was going to put Unity kernel but then i thought i have 2.3.3 and i read it is for 2.3.4>. Anyway thanks in advance.
Oh and one last thing are there many Sense 2.1 ROMS, iknow virtous and InsertCoin.
Some other 2.1 ROMS
eVil has 2 mytouch ROMS - one is a slide the other is not
bsbokc has a mytouch rom (myVision 2.3.4)
virtuous had 1.0.2 before the 2.0
siulmagic has paradox (2.1 + 3.0 widgets like insertcoin)
suilmagic has Synergy (2.1 + 3.0)
I think there was a leedroid that was 2.1 but I could be wrong.
There is an archive out there of many of the ROMS @ http://xda.niksie.nl/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=viewcategory&catid=6&Itemid=1, I have nothing to do with it, but many thanks to Niksie

Manythanks to you friend for the link provided, i think i have some more to learn, android world moves so fast ^^
i'll experiment some more and see.
Oh one more question, do i need to install SetCPU or OC'd kernels are already pre-configured to mange cpu frequencies and voltages? or maybe there is a file to modifiy or customize?
Most 2.1 Rom's will use setcpu as the other oc's came out more on the 3.0 sense roms. Also check in the /etc for a virtuous directory, if there you can edit the files there to increase the clocks as well, but you will need to know what values to use as well.
