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.

I know that. It will be solved in near future, I hope.

I use...
710MhZ and 352MhZ....is correct?
I usually overclock to 352-691 with smartass governor.
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.
I noticed the tegra 3 one x has kernel development and custom kernels. I thought you had to be s-off for kernels? Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks.
No need to be s-off, you just need to push kernels over separately using fastboot. S-off would simply be more convenient as you could flash it in one go with any 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.
