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.

Will this work on the new 2.2 stock ROM?
Setcpu can be found and downloaded for free here on the forum aswell

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.

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.
Hey guys possibly a very noon question but I'm new to all this, I'm looking to use viperx new Rom on my HTC but really like the faux kernels. How can I convert the kernel (that's if I need to) be be compatible with the Rom?

For the most custom ROMs you have to repack the kernel. However, on ViperX ROM there's no need to repack, just flash the boot.img for the kernel and install the modules in CWM.

Sweet so no repacks needed for viperx Rom just install the original custom kernels then? i.e faux123 kernal

Sorry another noob Question based off of this, but how do you know if a Rom needs a repacked kernal or not?

Yuo, no need for repack. Just download the ones from the official faux thread and you're ready to go!

If there are any ramdisk tweaks you need a repack. It's usually also stated in the OP if you need repack.

Hi all.
I'm using Seadersn's 10162012 build which includes bricked kernel AFAIK. I've always just used default supported kernels up to now.
Do I need to flash modules?
Seems to be running fine as is but I don't want to overlook stuff if its needed for functionalities or running smoothly.

When you flash the Bricked kernel (which is the default kernel in CM10 these days), the ROM zip file that you flash from Recovery also has the kernel modules. So first you flash the boot.img on fastboot, then when you flash the ROM zip, the modules (which are inside it) also get flashed. That's why you don't need to flash modules separately.
When you want to use another AOSP kernel with CM10, then you flash the boot.img of that kernel, then the ROM zip, and then the modules of the new AOSP kernel you are flashing (because the ROM zip does not contain it).
Hope that answers your question.
I think it does.... thanks for that

Can't yet reply on dev threads so hopefully I'll get an answer here.
Since the last update my phone seems to take about twice as long to charge.
The battery life is much improved with this latest flash so I'm happy to put up with it but is there anything I can do to improve this?

Resolved by updating the rom

Do i have to have a rom to get a new kernel. Thats the first question the others will be after this one is answered. Thanks in Advance
It really depends if the kernel supports the phone and rom. Most kernels only work if the rom supports that kernel. Take cyanogenmod for example. If you were to flash cm that has stock 3.0 kernel, you can't use the 3.4 kernel or above unless the rom supports it. If you want a more recent kernel then you'd have to flash a rom that supports it.

You need to be rooted with custom recovery to flash a kernel. But, you can use the stock rooted rom. Does that answer?
Also, if you stick with stock rom, or any touchwiz rom, can only use touchwiz kernels. If you want aosp kernels, need to be on an aosp rom.
