Hey guys I saw over in the cdma forum that they managed to overclock the hero. Is it possible to move that hack over to the GSM hero or no?
if your phone is rooted and running a 1.5 based rom you can overclock.
If your rooted and running a 2.1 based rom then at the moment you can't overclock but you can still underclock (as the Kernal overrides the ability to overclock)
Very cool find. I wonder too, if the hack can be ported to the GSM Hero. They both run very similar processors, after all.
It's very possible on 1.5, but for 2.1 we need the kernel sources.
So lenny your saying if I apply the kernel patch over a 1.5 rom it'll work? just like that? seems way too easy
If your running a rooted 1.5 rom then all you need to do is download overclock widget from the market.
It is that simple yes.

That doesn't overclock. You can just tell it to run full capacity.
edit: correct me if i'm wrong
Yes i belive your correct, we need to apply the patch to the 1.5 kernel source recompile sign and flash if I am correct
I'm going to try it.

Please report back, i'm very interrested
I'm gonna give it a go as well
To bad the official 2.1 release will come out soon. Still i'm so excited over this
when we get the kernel source for 2.1 it should work for that too, I would say
I thought the kernel level overclock for the hero turned out not to work?
If we are talking about the one that allegedly got to run at 660mhz?
they're putting out roms that run at 710 over in the cdma forum. there saying they can max it out to 750 ish though.

ive already started porting drivers from .29 to .27 for the gsm hero as i did for the cdma hero. ive been busy for a while now trying to get overclocking to work. now that me and phh have gotten the ugly part out of the way and its working. i can say for sure that it can easily be ported to the gsm hero. im finishing up rewriting it and cleaning it up now. but once im finished ill try and get back on porting .29 drivers to .27 for the gsm hero. so far i have all but camera working on the cdma hero in eclair with .27. i know no camera is a big drag down. but hey its better then hardly anything with .27
Hey, thats great news I've been tryin..... but I'm an old winmo guy and this android stuff is all quite new to me. Thanks for your hard work!!

Can anybody compile a kernel patch to overclock the htc hero on 1.5?

Come on guys. We are all developers here and multiple times it has been asked but nobody has even cared about answering. CDMA and GSM heros are different phones, yes but most of the hardware is the same. The Dream guys obviously don't care about us because they have their own phone to worry about. That is totally understandable. But I think to fully enjoy our hero and see it grow to it's full potential we need to work together as a team.
I have tried countless times to boot GSM roms on the CDMA hero and I always fail. I actually tried Mlign's Hero rom for the Dream and it actually booted but Rosie didnt load. I suspect that has something to do with the app_s hack but regardless it is possible to boot a GSM rom on a CDMA Hero. I just can't get the Hero GSM roms to boot on CDMA Hero.
Basically, my request is this. Can someone, anyone, please clear up the confusion and help us figure out why the GSM Hero roms will not boot on the CDMA Hero. The only thing I can think of is the fact that we are CDMA and you are GSM. But that shouldnt matter for booting. We should at least be able to get past the initial HTC bootloader screen, right?

The CMDA has a different kernel and therefor the software has problems communicating with the hardware. Simple as that
I think it is likely be a little more complicated than that. The version of Cupcake on the CDMA Hero has had CDMA support back ported onto it. Whilst much of that work may be in the kernel, there are going to be CDMA specific options (e.g. UI elements such as CDMA status) that need to be in the ROM as well.

Big difference is in the kernel and RIL library.
If you get those replaced in ROM it should atleast boot. Trying to boot on GSM kernel is not gonna go well at all.
Ok. So replacing the kernel (in the boot.img I presume) and the RIL should at least boot. I will try doing that and seeing if that works. Now, once the official 2.1 comes out, it will have native CDMA so theoretically, many of the roms should be CDMA/GSM cross platform with a little work, right?
There is also a new 2.1 Hero for G1s/32Bs by Drizzy/barak/eugene373.
It seems to have a new RIL in it (the function names mention CDMA), and most of the 2.1 Hero leak.

Havn't gotten much time to look at it myself, but it might be useful.

Hey Chuck, can you take a look at this ROM as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592666
I'm not sure if the Behnaam's 2.1 ROM would work since it requires a new radio, and I don't know if we want to flash the radio (if the CDMA Hero lets you)...
I was hacking away at lokx Hero build configs last night, but the Eclair compile stops because it can't compile libcamera.so (no, I do not mean libqcamera). I did a generic build and that went fine all the way through, so I don't know what is wrong with my config yet. I've since found kiall's cupcake build configs, so I think I'll try his files and see if I can get a Eclair build tonight. This is a good learning exercise, but I do wonder if the current CDMA Hero 2.6.27 kernel will work with a AOSP Hero 2.0 build.

No the current 2.6.27 kernel won't work with AOSP HERO 2.0. We need to get 2.6.29 ported to the cdma hero. The main problem we face is our kernel. When compiling the kernel for the cdma hero we lack a few things. One being a board_heroc. There are no rules to make. It seems they released the source for the hero but its lacking what it takes to build for the cdma hero.(I.e. heroc) atleast this is from what I've found. But.:. I'm not a pro. It's gonna take some hacking for sure....

Will the 2.6.27 CDMA Hero kernel work with an AOSP 1.6 (Donut) build? I think 2.6.27 is what the GSM 1.6 ROMs are using.

No itwont work with 1.6 either. U ne3d a different kernel for that also. I think they did some patching to get msm-2.6.27 to work. Then they've used that to patch msm-2.6.29. Or atleast that's the route I believe they took. Our problem is we can't even get the HTC kernel source to compile. An idea... is maybe make a board-heroc using board-hero as a template. But then were gonna need some real know how. I know we also need some modules. Those can be gotten from the phone. So basically until HTC releases the source for cdma were gonna need to reverse engineer the kernel we have to build our own patches and fixes to get it to build a working kernel.
I currently have a hero and my gf just got the EVO and the battery life is pretty rough on it of course like we all know but i just flashed an under-volt kernal and it seems to work very well, is this possible yet for the EVO? Here are the links below about the topic

AFAIK, most of the kernals we already have available undervolt the CPU.
okay, sorry im a noob to the EVO, as of yet i dont own one, i have a very good undestanding how ever thing works with my hero. So like the latest Fresh Rom for the EVO, has undervolt?

Fresh Rom is a ROM, not a kernel. The kernel that comes with Fresh Rom by default is the stock HTC kernel which has no undervolting. You have to flash an alternate kernel after you flash the ROM which will allow undervolting.
There are a few kernels from which to choose from available here.

There are several threads in her in the dev section here with various kernels for the hero. I use Damage Control 3.2.3 ROM and therefore use a kernel from the developers there. However there is another thread (not ROM related per-se) that goes deeper into the different kernels that are available and being worked on. If you prefer another ROM search those threads... Since the release of the complete source code recently several dev's are tweaking the kernels to integrate with their ROM's.
Seek and yee shall find... (If you go to the DamageControl link, Look for info on post #2. You will have to scroll a bit because it's a beast as is the size of the thread.
I think Baked Snack ROM does the most undervolting. He said he has undervolted it so low with stability.
That ROM does wonders to your battery... let me just say that.
Will they be able to put the drivers for the video camera etc into the ROMS now, or the hydra kernels? I remeber hearing that they needed the source to be able to do this?
new hydra kernels were released the day the source came out, everything works in them so far that I have found.
Wait, so I can upgrad to Froyo, install Sky Raider and a custom overclocked kernel and still have video camera?
if u so desire. yes.
Froyo source does not contain ANY proprietary drivers.
I think he meant kernel source...
froyo Source.
No... He ment froyo source code, not just the kernel. see the attached link Unless i completely read this wrong...
//developer.htc.com
i think...
i remember reading a while ago when we had like skyraider 1.9 that they needed the info from the 2.2 ota to make camera work. i dont think he knows that he needs the new radio. although i think you guys already stated it above. you just need the the new radio but now that unrevoked forever is out you dont need to unroot bro. there is a thread topic very easy good luck
I think what it boils down to is the question "Will we be seeing some cool roms soon?"

lol sorry but just asking what is baconbits?
Ha, its a kernel that is used in android development. Made by cyanogenmod. Its used for overclocking your processor and other small improvements
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 with Virtuous Sense.
I'm actually quite confused about BaconBits too. It looks like it has:
LED notifications
overclocking kernal
ro.secure=0
superuser
busybox
Correct me if I am wrong, but these are all available on CM6.1.0 I think that BB .3 was an appetizer before the nightly/RC's started coming out. In other words, if you are running CM6.1.0 then there is no need for BB?

Yep 10 char.
after installing this it cant read my simcard and when its done rebooting all i can see is alot of for closes?!?!?!?!
BaconBits is a kernel designed for installing over the stock ROM. It was, I think, really just a stopgap until the full CyanogenMod came out.
As has been said, if you're running CM then you don't need BaconBits.
thanks yeaa
well, personally i do use baconbits if i dont want to use the full CM rom, which is actually quite nice
I have ThunderSense v1, and I would like to know if there are any kernels that I can put on my HTC DESIRE CDMA to be able to undervolt using SetCPU. It is Sense 2.2 by the way.Thanks.

Set CPU Doesn't undervolt. It underclocks (Which in turn, lowers voltage).
Have a read here:
http://androidforums.com/desire-all...-bfs-axi-uvoc-published-20th-july-2011-a.html
well, still. is there a undervolted kernel that i can get?
Yes. All of them.
Did you see the "Everything desire is here thread"?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12350779&postcount=3
Thanks man. but i have ONE more question.. Will any of the sense kernels work on a CDMA? cause i know that alot of work done is just for GSM. I dont want to mess up my rom, i know i can do a nandroid. but still... lol
edit: This is a Froyo Sense Rom, and every kernel that i see on there, is for GingerSense... ):
Thats a very good question, which unfortunately I do not know. I have no experience of CDMA devices. Possibly not actually
Alright bro, thanks anyways.
I think the issue is that decent kernel source wasn't available for the not so widely used CDMA.
From what I can tell, many Sense Kernels will work, but its the radio that is an issue, more explicitly, WiFi breaks...
Yup, the kernel source is actually the same. The compiled binary that most people release has bravoc disabled in some drivers (for making the kernel marginally smaller in size, like the wifi driver you mentioned). In almost every source file, there are if blocks to check whether the device is bravo/bravoc/passion.

In which case, do you know of any where bravoc has not been commented out? Have yours?
I dont know alot about sense kernels.
I assume Like AOSP, froyo and GB require different kernels. But how about GB ACES port v Runnymede? Can they use the same kernels?

I haven't enabled the bravoc drivers either while compiling, though it's easy enough to enable it while building. Yup, my GB kernel's being used in a couple of the runny Ports and seems to work well. Don't know about Ace, but I believe the same kernel ought to work on it.
