[Q] how to overclock HTC Wildfire? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI,
I want to overclock my HTC Wildfire for batter gaming performance. My device details:
Rooted and running SUnAabh v1.1 ROM
Baseband: 13.55.55.24h_3.35.20.10
kernal 2.6.32.21-g0f9e.... tue noc 30.....
Build Number: vibhu's rom froyo
I am have used SetCPU app but it not working ?
Can any one tell me how to overclock my device.
Thanks

Overclocking wont do much good in terms of gaming performance. Our device lacks gpu which is why games don't work as they should.
Overclocking needs an overclockable krenal. I am using kwbr rom which is sense based as is sunaabh. I use rempuzzle kernal for overclocking on this rom. You can get it from the rempuzzle thread. Alternatively you can use Hcdr kernal.

guys please stop posting in the wrong thread...this is the development thread...move it to the the thread......
and kindly try to use the search button....it solves all your quarries

Has this thread changed section or was I that sleepy I didnt notice it when I replied?? Wierd

Use Cyanogenmod... Performance options (which include overclocking) are integrated inside the rom. Easy as 1 2 3

I want to overclock my device on same ROM, what I need to do ?
Can overclocking improve the games performance ?
I am playing Tekken 3 on my HTC Wildfire Buzz, by using FPse emulator and ISO image of game.

so u have root, and a custom rom. The only thing u are missing is a custom kernel, i think. Flash a kernel that supports your rom and can be overclocked. Than setcpu will work.
The game will run maybe a bit smoother. a gain of 1-5 fps hopefully. Maybe more, but i dont know for sure.

Wow this is an old rom, not seen this pop up for a time.
I used to use fpse(the whole reason i rooted my phone lol) and too played tekken.
Overclocking does help a little but dont expect to be pulling off special moves lol as response is not great even at highest o/c. Mess around with fps in the game/app (cant remember how it works) i think i used 25/30 i got it running quite good at one point but still laggy.
P. S stick with a sense based rom for fpse as it works best on sense on wildfire.

So can you tell me what's new and stable ROM for HTC Wildfire that improve performance.
What I need to do for fast and smooth play of Tekken 3 ?
Reduce frame rate or anything like that ?
Or can you recommend me any good game of PS3 that smoothly run on HTC Wildfire ?
Thanks

Trial and error really but 1st i would flash an o/c kernel. Head to dev section sticky, complete wildfire guide and try jacob flash to any rom kernel or rempuzzle thread and flash rempuzzle kernel.
Then its about testing which values work best for you,use setcpu to adust carefully as setting o/c too high has been known to cause boot loop for some. Go up in settings in parts not straight into 768.good start would be 633 test, then 652 test...... Etc etc
Ive already mentioned about framerate so test different values along with o/c values.
There is only one sense rom. I personally recommend and that is rempuzzle.
Thats it you have to do the rest lol. Goodluck, hope it goes smooth.

Hi
Below is the link to Wildfire complete list of ROM, Kernel etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
Scroll down to Kernel list section to to choose the kernel that match your rom.
For Sense Froyo ROM alternatively you can use Rempuzzle Kernel to OC

you need to make sure your using an oc kernel or you cant overclock ..... if you are just buy setcpu from the market .....
So I just need the OC Kernel? how bout the OpenDesire?

open desire has oc kernel, richardtrip just released an oc kernel for sence roms too here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801435, like i said just use setcpu,
Ok..So what I need is just a ROM manager to flash it right? then backup it before I flash it?
well it depends on which ROM you are running ,
>if you are running some non-sense roms like Open desire or Defrost ,
then you can use setcpu directly ,because it comes with overclocked kernel
>if are using sense ROMs like leedroid, Nextsense etc,
you need a overclocked kernel you can download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801915
flash the zip file in recovery mode , then use setcpu
i recommend you to reboot after overclocking ....
If I use OpenDesire rom how much Mhz can it increase after overclock?
That depends on the "quality" of your cpu
(the cpu is guaranteed to work at stock speed, anything higher is a guess, and may be cause of instability)
In case of a "bad" cpu you might be able to get it to ± 1050 Mhz
I've seen "lucky" people mentioning ± 118*Mhz (don't remember the actual number )
And don't forget it will put a extra drain on you battery.
This is something you could have found yourself by searching / reading the Developers sub-forum

my phone works well at 1118mhz, im just waiting for a kernel that will let me oc it abit more
i tested my desire with opendesire-4.33 you can safely overclock your cpu to 1190mhz using setcpu ,,and remember it drains your battery like hell,, set your scaling to on-demand mode.

Overclocking HTC Desire Problem..

Hello.
First of all, I'm new on this forum. Ok, I just rootet my HTC Desire, and tried the app "SetCPU" to overclock my Desire, as i can get better battery life
But the problem is, that i can just overclock the phone to 998 MHz, I've seen on random forums that someone has overclocked their Desire to full frequency, example like 1300 Mhz.
Please I need help with this! Someone?
You won't get better battery live by overclocking, it will drain your phone faster but preform better. If you want to overclock you need to install a custom kernel which allows overclocking, but i suggest you do some more reading before taking actions.
To overclock your Desire you need to use a different kernel (not the stock one). Try flashing Richardtrip's Kernel or a custom ROM (look at the android development section). If you don't know how to root and flash you can found good tutorial in the same section.
But be careful you are doing this at your own risk.

Currently i have DeFrost[ROM] installed on my Desire. Why is the frequency still at 998 MHz?

[Q] Which KERNEL for Stock Sense ROM to OC to 1.7-1.9GHz?

I'm runing stock Sense ROM and would like to flash Kernel that will allow me to overclock to 1.7 or even more.
EDIT: If possible by insmod (oc module + cpu freq table), that would be even better.
+1
and it should not mess up with the Wi-Fi MAC address & Bluetooth
I tried some 1.5GHz/overclock kernel, either of them changed my Wi-Fi MAC or messed up Bluetooth pairings. Now using overclocking module(GodSpeed)

Oh wow that's crazy. Would it be safe to clock it at that speed?
I'd say 1.4GHz is relatively safe, running it for weeks.
1.9-2.0 definitely insane, but I'd like to try 1.7 and maybe higher to see how far it goes.
So would like to know which kernel from G2 forum would work with Sense ROM, or maybe someone could extract the needed files so we could install via insmod.
I think we only need two files: one for OC and the other with voltage table.

The 1.8GHz kernel on G2 forum works on Desire Z, except Bluetooth.
Just tested on my Hong Kong Desire Z, until they fix the BT issue, I will stay with 1.4GHz
Maybe there is a way to unpack that kernel and only take the overclock part of it, that should keep all other stuff working.

[Q] Wildfire best Rom for gaming

Hello! I would like to know what Rom would do a best gaming performance on wildfire. I have already tested myself Cyanogenmod 7 and SUnAaBh v1.1 and of course the Froyo 2.2 stock rom. i think Cyanogenmod 7 has the better game performance than SUnAaBh on my opinion. it may be because Cyanogenmod has android 2.3.
oh! And the other question
Is there a Kernel that would overclock wildifre even more than 768Mhz
I would like to know your opinion about this.
Thanks already
ps. Sorry for my bad english
Best gaming rom is anonimos froyo rom based on open fire, you can find it in development section or cyanogenmod (when using cm7, do not change the kernel, that kernel is the best one for wildfire).
No you cant overclock more than 768 mhz because it would be very unstable and could fry the processor.
Best kernel to flash on any rom is HCDR.jacobs 4.1 kernel, if you cant find it, pm me ill send it to you.
Note: dont use jacobs 4.2 kernel, from my experience, its unstable.
Hit thanks if i helped you, cheers.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I like more Android 2.3 than 2.2. So i change back to Cm7. It has a smooth gaming in wildfire. Thanks!

[Q] how do i choose the best kernel ??

hey guys
i have just flashed the leedroid rom, and i want to flash the latest kernel since kernels optimize the performance and speed... the thing is that i dont know how to choose kernels, and which one fits my rom and phone, add to the consequences of installing kernels...
i hope anyof u could help, or link me to any thread...
thanks in advance
As far as I know, snq is the only one who has updated the kernel for sense roms. But try them out.
Thank u
I didn't find it in everything desire thread
I would propose some explanation abt the reason of changing vilolts and wut does kernels improve exactly
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
A kernel controls a lot of stuff and can be important. You can change stuff like CPU speed, performance increases. I don't know exactly what a kernel does.
Here's the link for snqs kernel. No idea why it isn't in the desire everything thread.
