so im fairly new to android (converting from iphone) and bought myself a wildfire to check it out. So far ive used unrevoked to root and flashed the wildpuzzle ROM, now im attempting to overclock the processor. ive saved the 0163_768mhz_cpu_speed_v1.zip to my PC, copy to SD, installed from reboot menu and downloaded setCPU. But the max is still 528 mhz on setCPU :/ any ideas on where im going wrong?
If that is not working, first, flash the 0130 file (kernel), then try 0163. Also, if you flash 0130, you dont need 0163, and, can set the speed as you wish from within SetCPU.
Try it out.
BTW, I hope by "Installed from Reboot Menu" you mean entering into Recovery Mode, Selecting Install Zip from SDC, and selecting the particular Zip file.
One last thing, remember to take a Nandroid backup before flashing any overclockable kernels.
yes thats what i meant
I tried the 0130 file, had to unistall and re-install setCPU but is now running at 768mhz! thanks for the help 3xeno
That's great, but, just as an info, I would not recommend keeping it at 768. Most phones are unstable at that, and, performance actually drops. Try 710 or 729.
With the overclocking done, PSX4droid works well?
Good day all. I recently bought a Nook Color. I'm running CM7.0.2 along with gapps 20110613 from a 16gb SanDisk class 4 SD. When set up the apps (after enabling wifi) I got an error, due to the fact that my sucky router dropped the signal. As a result of this I was not able to download gmail, google maps, etc. My android market runs perfectly but I wanted to flash gapps so as to download gmail and the others. I went into ROM manager and updated to the latest CWM. However, no matter what I do I can't but into recovery. I tried n+power button, reboot into recovery from the power button menu, and from within ROM manager. All no go...it just booted into CM7, so I removed the SD card to boot into stock Nook 1.2 software. When I did this it brought me to the CWM recovery menu (SD card not in). Of course I could not select anything on the menu. Put back in the SD while still in the menu to try select an option but nothing. Shut it down by holding the power button and booted it back up and it went str8 into CM7. Shut down took out SD and it booted into stock Nook 1.2 software. What am I doing wrong guys? I'm trying to flash the overclock kernel and reflash gapps. THANKS
Could the reason gmail, youtube, googlemaps didn't install on setup be due to the fact that I'm not in the USA? If so I'd still like to know what the problem is so I can flash the overclock kernel.
No one has any idea? I know one option is to backup and redo everything, but I'd really like some troubleshooting ideas before.
Did you use the 1.3 image from verygreens thread? If so the old 7.0.* stables are not supported. You will need to back up and redo it either with the old image or a new CM7 version.

Yea I used the 1.3 in the thread with 7.0.2. What version cm7 would I need to use with the 1.3? 7.0.3 or a nightly,? Where would I be able to find an older image to work with 7.0.2 and what version of the image should it be?
The 1.3 image won't work with any 7.0.* versions. You should upgrade to either a recent nightly or the 7.1.0 RC. You could find an older image somewhere but there isn't much of a point as you would have to redo it all anyway so why not upgrade? Plus your battery life will improve by a lot as 7.1 RC and the nightlys have deep sleep.

As I said many times to newbie who runs CM7 off uSD that do not or should not mess up with ROM Manager. In fact, there are members also confirm that if booting off uSD, ROM Manager has no effect.
Based on what you, OP, described, you had flashed the CwM into the internal memory.
Keep your fingers crossed as I do hope you didn't screw up anything else.
Anyway, using verygreen's 1.3 image along with the latest nightly-built CM7 and the latest 06132001 gapps and boot it off uSD again. You should be fine.
Before that, fix your home wireless network first.
I decided to just go with 7.1RC1 since I wanted the better battery life. Is there a way to check about the CWM on the internal and how would I go about removing it if I did? I ask for warranty purposes ofcourse since I opted for the 2 year extended one. Also to flash upgrades and such, since you don't recomend using ROM manager then how should I go about doing it (i.e. overclocking kernel)?

1. I never have any issue related to battery with any nightly build that I've ever used. I am currently having the nb153 and it is fantastic.
2. Check CwM and how to remove off the internal memory? I don't know any quick way except restoring the original ROM.
Again, for warranty purposes, strongly suggest running off uSD
3. Updating by loading/copying/dragging the updated files onto the root folder (aka "boot" partition), then TRY loading into Recovery by:
a. combination of power/N buttons if you have skill or
b. let it boot normally into CM7, wait until completely loaded, then reboot and select "recovery" option. Keep yr fingers crossed. This is an easy method but if it doesn't work then option a is the only choice.
Sorry the battery issue was as compared to the current CM7 stable not the nightly. I got everything installed so far besides the overclock kernel. So I will try your recommendation for booting into recovery not using ROM manager.
You don't flash anything when running off an sd card you just boot into recovery and then reboot. Easiest way to get the overclock kernel would be to just upgrade to the latest nightly.

I know this has been asked before, but I am still a little confused and would be rather grateful for some advice.
I am running stock 3.1 - trimmed out a lot of default Acer apps, Netflix patch, root.
Would love to be able to give this a bit of a overclock, I have experience with custom ROMs, but never changed the kernel. I have CWM installed and ready.
My questions:
1) What kernel is recommended for me? I use multiple USB devices quite often, as well as my GPS - want to over clock but don't want to loose any support for things I use daily From what I can see, Richardtrip's kernal seems like the best option - anyone have any other sugesstions? Really, all I am wanting to do is overclock a touch.
2) How do I backup the current Kernal? Does a full nandroid backup in CWM take care of that? If not, what do I do?
3) After backup, I simple install new kernal by placing on microsd and booting from cwm and installing update.zip from SD, right? Will my modified lib.so in /system/lib (the file modified by the Netflix patch) cause issues with doing this?
Many thanks in advance, xda peoples. Hope you are all having a great week out there!
the only Kernel for stock rom's hich is 100% is richardtrips, you can use setCPU to change the o/c values. you can find it in the dev section.
all you need is put the zip on your external sd-card and load it with cwm.

Thank you! That's pretty much what I thought - but how do I make a backup of my stock kernel before modding it? Will nandroid backup via CWM work?
Yes it will.

Thank you very much!
i'm making a note here - huge success
Full nandroid backup is done - installed richardtrip's custom kernel via cwm without any issues. Set to 1400 MHz and omfg my iconia is like a brand new system again - thank you all for your support and help with this.
Also about to root an A500 with HoneyVillian. Just a few questions before I do. Like the thread starter, I've rooted before but never changed the kernel so I want to be sure I'm not going to bork my tablet.
I guess what I'm really wondering are the steps to take. Let me see if I have this right:
1: Get root via iconiaroot v 1.3
2: Boot into recovery using Acer Recovery Tool from the marketplace.
3: Have richard's kernel on my SD card and run it from recovery.
4: Tablet re-boots.
5: Head back to recovery using above app and load ROM in recovery mode.
Again, I've rooted and loaded Honeyvillian before so no big deal there but just want to make sure I'm changing the kernel in the right order.
Thanks for the help!

Sweetness. You answered the question i posted indirectly too. Nice nice nice
Recently, I've noticed that the Overclock settings in the bootmenu on my Defy+ only offer three clock speeds and three Vsel settings. It always used to have four. CPUSpy shows four clock settings: 300Mhz, 600Mhz, 800Mhz and 1000Mhz whereas the bootmenu only shows 300MHz, 600MHz and 1000MHz. Is anyone able to suggest how I might get the missing one back in the bootmenu?
I'm running bootmenu 1.1.8, as installed by Defy2ndint 2.3 (thus also recovery version 5.0.3.1).
SetVsel is no help because it causes the phone to reboot. I've had a look at this thread but the "fix" seems to involve changing quite a lot of stuff, not all of which seems to be particularly relevant to the CPU speed & voltage settings. In particular, it installs multiboot which I've always preferred to steer clear of, having no need for it (I'm a boring person who is quite happy with a largely stock ROM). Mind you, the touch bootmenu does look nice, though...
I also had a look at this single posting from the extensive CM7.1.0 thread. I've tried copying the overclock.conf and overclock.sh files from that posting on to my phone, but I still only get 3 CPU clock speeds showing in the bootmenu.
Anyone got any better ideas?
This title is so funny :laugh:
Which kernel are you using?
Froyo has got 3 settings gingerbread 4
I'm on Gingerbread.
I've got to the bottom of it: version 1.1.8 of bootmenu only supports three CPU speeds. I think that's because it's part of a Cyanogenmod release which is based on the Froyo kernel and therefore only supports three CPU speeds. I previously had version 1.1.0 which comes from somewhere else - I'm not sure where. I installed it, along with CWM recovery 5.0.3.4, from a zip file via recovery, but I can't now remember where the zip file came from. Fortunately I still had a copy of the zip file to hand, and re-installing it gave me back my 4 CPU speeds.
I'm still quite tempted to try that fix for SetVsel on Defy+, though...

Install Jelly Bean! You will have latest...everything!

Now this is odd...
I installed the SetVsel fix, which included a lot of other stuff that I wasn't sure I wanted like touch bootmenu and multiboot. Anyway, it installed OK and SetVsel did work, but I decided I didn't like the rest of the baggage, and having got to the bottom of the missing fourth CPU speed in the bootmenu mystery, I didn't really need SetVsel. So I did a full CWM restore - of everything: system, data, recovery, bootmenu, the lot. And there I was, back where I expected to be...except that SetVsel still works! How did that happen?
So, I'm having this issue with my nexus 7, can't seem to find a post about this problem anywhere on the internet, much less XDA forums. Using SetCPU (Or Rom Toolbox Pro, or both at once with the same settings) I can't get overclocking or underclocking to work for long. The settings keep resetting themselves every time I turn the screen on and off, and every time I reboot the device. Yes, I always set the values on boot, and when powering back on I wait for the SU notification, but even both apps show the settings changed back to stock 1.3ghz.
I have tried doing this with stock 4.1.1, Glazed Jellybean 1.2; resetting the bootloader, recovery, and os back to stock and wiping out the sdcard; I have tried the stock kernel for underclocking; trinity kernel Clemsyn's elite kernel both the 1.8ghz and 1.5ghz for overclocking; and yet I keep on running into this problem.
If I keep the screen on the overclock settings stay, however if I underclock to 1.0ghz the cpu speed keeps jumping to 1.2ghz anyway.
So, anyone with any idea of what to do, or any overclocking experience, help would be appreciated.
Device: Nexus 7
Android versions tested: Stock Android 4.1.1 & Glazed Jellybean 1.2
Kernels tested: Stock, Trinity Kernel, Clemsyn's Elite Kernel 1.8ghz overclock & Clemsyn's Elite Kernel 1.5ghz overclock
Edit: Both supersu and superuser with updated binaries result in no change; updating busybox didn't help either.

are you using superuser or supersu? and is your busybox updated? heres a flashable supersu, flash it, boot, open the supersu app, update your su binaries if it asks. then get stericsons busybox updater free from the play store, open it, then update your busybox. reboot, then try ti set your cou speed.

Using superuser, binary was updated earlier today, as was busybox, no changes after installing either of them.

Same results with supersu, weird stuff.
At least you got me to try supersu, looks much nicer than superuser does.

No, but I can go grab it with my play store credit if you think it will really help, I figured that most cpu controllers use the same system of controllers and such for setting cpu speed.

I'd hate to make you buy something, but if you do try it you'd have to uninstall setcpu. you can at least try it and return it if it doesn't work. you've got 15 minutes.

Funny, I have been debating on buying trinity kernel toolbox for a few weeks not.
Well, I tried it out; rebooted thrice, left the screen of for over 3 minutes, the settings stick, my nexus7 is happily underclocked to 1.0ghz right now.
Now to restore my backup, and get a nice overclocking kernel going.
Thanks Simms!

Afternoon All,
I'm looking for a little bit of guidance pls.
I've overclocked both my GS3 and my Nexus 7, but of reboot i loose my overclock as it sets back on default.
I've tried various apps to try and manage, incl STweaks and trinity, to no avail.
I have read its something to do with the Power HL (correct me if I'm wrong) but i can no longer find that post.
its doing my head in.
Any on got ant ideas pls?
thanks.
