[Q] Overclocking - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been reading the forums for a while and i have a few questions about overclocking:
1) How and what and do i have to install to overclock htc wildfire? (I heard that i need special "kernel" or something and the "setCPU" program).
2) Can I overclock htc wildfire running on any ROM (by installing the "kernel" and "setCPU") or, I need to flash a special ROM (and then install the "kernel" and "setCPU") ?

you can flash an overclock kernel to any rom, such as HCDR.Jacob's HCDR.kernel. also, setCPU is not the only overclock app out there, but it is the best. setCPU is available on the market, and costs AU$3.50 or something. HCDR.kernel can be found here on the forums.

any higher than 768 mhz would destroy the cpu

I am happy with this official froyo, just need to remove some htc app and a bit overclock...
After rooting, can I only change kernel, or I must use some of custom rom?
Thx

Yes, just flash in the kernel, no need to flash a custom Rom.

You cant install the kernel on the official FroYo devices because they cant be rooted. And, to flash the kernel, you need a rooted device.

What are the benefits of installing a different kernel?

It depends which kernel. you'll be able to overclock and underclock, experience better battery life etc.

Jacob kernel works very well on sunaabh ROM. WiFi works also great. My phone works stable at 710mhz and even 768 doesn't make any problem.

[Q] any guide for overclocking?

I have flashed Virtuous 1.0.1, I would like to play a little with oveclocking ,as it is written in ROM description it support oveclocking.
I am looking for some guide about flashing kernel and oveclocking or if somebody could even describe it here I would really appreciate it.
Additional for confirmation, I've read there are 3 kernels for virtuous: standard, advanced and shipped from HTC (default in virtuous).
I would like to overclock to safe frq ,I've read somewhere it is 1GHz. Probably it would be sufficient to flash standard kernel.
Ok so coming back to question how to flash new kernel and overclock our pocket PCs?

From what you stated, it seems Virtuous has an OC kernel already, just download SetCPU from the Market and follow the prompts.

[Q] overclock problem

do i need to install custom rom to overclock?
I don't think so. Flashing a new kernel should solve this. But a custom ROM is pretty cool.

yeah a kernel will probably do the thing but i recomend getting a new rom.I hate to test kernels. And if you install a rom you already get a kernel in it.

it depends on your ROM and support of the kernel for that ROM (or vice versa ).
i am using tiamat (details in my signature). You need to try diff. kernels and see which one is best & stable for your rom. you can use "ultimate_kernel_cleaning_script_v2_by_lippol94.zip" script before flashing the kernel. you can find the download in xda forum.

(Q) How to replace/change rom?

Today i rooted my htc buzz wildfire and installed cyanogenmod 7.2
I wanna know how can i change the rom?
And which is the best rom available? In terms of speed and one last question, does overclocking really boosts up the speed. Should i really do that?

Cyanogenmod Is a rom, and so is htc sense and miui ect. You have already changed rom! And yes, allowing you don't over do it there should be no harm bar the battery will run down faster.
I think with cm7, some apps still lag. For e.g xda app crashes at times and it gives the error "force close" which never really happened before.
2) And can u tell me should i try cm9 with jelly bean / ice cream sandwich.
3) and how can i use rom manager? I rooted yesterday and didn't use it. What's the first option i should use etc ( a forum link would be appreciated) i couldn't find any.

CM 7 is a really smooth ROM no ICS ROM is faster. I think you should stay on CM7.
You can use ROM Manager if u want to flash a new ROM for example CM9 or a new ClockworkMod recovery. You can also Download the newest Version of CM7 (gApps etc.)via ROM Manager.
Maybe you should try to clear the app cache and data to get the app working

Thank you.
But can you teach me more about Rom Manager? I had it pre-installed in cm7 but don't know how to use it.
I heard that rom manager can get phone's bricked. I haven't even made a backup of cm7

Here is a complete guide how to use ROM Manager and what exactly it does
I've heard about the 'brick'-issiue too but i think that's a rumor. I flash ROMs with ROM Manager for about 1 year and i hadn't even one issiue with it.
Thanks man you're genius.the kind of info i needed, i got it.
That's why i love this forum.

In this moment, only trip's kenrel support underclock because htc doesn't release source code yet.
htc one x+renovate!!!
ok,then i will flash the final1-rom included kernel.
can i do this in fastboot,or will i have to do it in another way?
i ask because i flashed the kernel-modules for the tripndroid-kernel via cwm !!!

I think you have to flash the kernel from fastboot
