Depends on the rom you use, because JB (ported) roms use a specific kernel, ICS an other one, GB an other.
So once you flash the right kernel(every custom kernel usually have OC, but u can read in the thread to be sure) , you can install No frills Cpu from market and set the cpu as you prefer. its really easy

Lupus and then setcpu or no frills cpu control

SETcpu or CPU master on android market should do the job

Most of the custom kernels have overclocking feature. But it can damage your hardware.You can use setcpu or no frills CPU to overclock your phone.

any overlocking can damage your HW use at own risk!
aaaand what profile is best for normal use ?

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?
Thanks

[Q] Overclocking

I am a noob. Can someone give me a list of roms that can do overclocking. I find that some roms allow me to overclock and and some do not. It would also be appreciated if someone could post a guide or what app they use to overclock. A quick explanation on how to overclock would help a lot.
Thanks for whatever part you can help me with!
It's not the Rom itself that allows you to overclock, It's the kernel. Just flash an overclock kernel on top of any Rom you like and you're good to go. Make sure you research compatibility first.
Once you flash an oc kernel just use setcpu from the market.

The overclock kernel thread can be found here
Like Phateless said make sure the kernel is compatible and download SetCPU from the market.
To add to that - if you're using Cyanogen 6.1 then you don't need to flash a kernel. It's built into the rom, just get SetCPU from the market (or here) to adjust your max clock (don't set profiles if you use the interactive governor).

Install Governor

Hey Guys
I am using CM7.2 Democracy Final Version but there is no smartassv2 governor there. By default it is set to LILGv2.

Is it the latest kernel by px??
What benefit would it do to my ROM??(Is it better than Fire Kernel)
Will I have to install all of my apps again??
It it change appearance and performance??
Are you fuc*ing kidding me? Firekernel is only for ace ...
Lol yea Unless u have ported it
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
Yeah, but i think that he has read the kernel name in the rom info, and the op of rom who has ported from ace, has copied/pasted the changelog without modification, also kernel cannot be ported, at least builded with firekernel source and gio config ..
Yes I am using Democracy that is the Port From Ace and Yes I read the Rom Info and the Kernel Was Fire Kernel. Maybe the person who ported it did not changed it.....
So actually this was not my question

better speed maybe
more governors and frequncies to scale available.
Will I have to install all of my apps again??
no, a wipe isn't needed for kernel.
Will it change appearance and performance??
it will change performance, on a positive way depending on how you scale. but not the appearance.

[Q] Underclock with stock kernel ?

Hi,
i know that it's not possible to undervolt without a custom kernel, but is it possible to underclock for example at 1300mhz with stock kernel and ROOT?
I'm with custom ROM / kernel and i get an uncredible battery life with undervolt (arround 9h screen on time) but i'm affraid of canceling the warranty with this stuff. I'm considering to go back stock ROM and buy an extended battery.
use root and apps setcpu (google play )
