Overclocking troubles

Whenever I set my cpu to 768 it freezes the system. Anywhere in the 700's. Is there any certain frequency to put it too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Awesome.

Just got back home.

Gonna test Kimera 1.7 now.

And thanks for the License :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docentore:
set it to the speed that doesn't freeze your phone. the results will be different on each phone. my max is 692
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:
when i use setcpu my phone stop working and reset all the time, can't use it :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ishehu:
thanks mine seems to be the same as well. What about flazhing the original theme I flash it but it doesnt seem to change a thing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] driver2000:
camera don't work! It freeze when i take a photo please help me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
Sorry I'm just a bit confused.

1.7 does not come overclocked by default anymore and it must be manually set by SetCPU?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:
i have got it now, setcpu shows 748Mhz and it didnt freez :D

Oh, so rom is fast enough without ramzswap, i'll release a cleaner

Original theme is only if you want to come back to original kimera theme once you flashed legend's theme

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theoneandonlyhaz:
Hey, how high are you putting the CPU clock? Every phone has their own personal limit, based upon peculiarities of the processor inside. Personally, I just found out that mine can handle 692MHZ but nothing above. Experiment with different clocks to see the highest stable clock rate.

I'm seeing your problem though - as soon as you set CPU above your phone's limit, entering setcpu again seems to cause an instant crash (especially if your clock rate is ridiculously high). I'm not sure what to do right now as I cannot enter setcpu as well. Is there an easy way to clear the cpu clock set in setcpu? Otherwise I might try an uninstall and reinstall.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] driver2000:
any one have the same bug??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theoneandonlyhaz:
Actually, there is a file in your SD called setcpu... it contains a list of CPU freq's that your cpu can be set to. Delete the last few that don't work if you have any problems, then reinstall setCPU. Solved it for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sudiru:
yikesss..i just installed Kimera 1.6 less than an hour ago and now theres new update. anyhow just wanna say thanks for your custom ROM. i thnk Kimera 1.6 is one of the stable custom ROM available. the only problem i faced is the flipclok wont appear on my home screen.

looking forward for the 1.7 official release
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sinnadyr:
How do you set the speed that high? Cant find any options on custom speed in SetCPU, it only allows me to set it at 528Mhz.

And one more thing, my phones colors just went more red like after flashing to 1.7, rebooting atm :S

EDIT: Colors are back on track ;)

Changelog:

Kimera 1.7 (01/05/2010)

Added Soaa-'s Lightspeed kernel

Updated Busybox

Added SetCPU

Kimera 1.6 (25/04/2010)

Added Maxisma's overclock kernel

Added phaelox's Ad Blocker

Fixed toolbox and busybox symlink's conflitcts

Updated ASTRO

I had a question:

Is there still Maxisma's overclock kernel in there?????

Because it say's added Soaa's Lightspeed kernel....

And what are the differences between the two?????????

Maybe someone can explane if 1.7 is better and why....

Thanx in advance!

PS: Exit93, You're ROMS are incredible.........thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whepper:
I've got the same problem since 1.7.

Also exchange sync stopped working when using the manual sync option. Only works from the settings menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] poochie2:
Since every CPU has its own limit, with this kernel you can use setcpu to set the clock you wish. with Maxisma's kernel setcpu didn't work to set clocks and you had to flash a kernel based on the exact clock you wanted.. this should be better, testing it tonight!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
No Maxisma's old Kernel is replaced by Soaa's kernel. The difference is higher clock frequency, and the added ability of choosing the frequency that suits you..

If you had bothered to read a bit you would know all this:rolleyes:

Hi there! Thanks for using Lightspeed in your ROM.

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
I guess 1.7 is more useful for people whose phone couldn't handle the previous kimera version.

710Mhz from 1.6 is quite enough for me I think. It's lightening fast and very stable. I don't want to risk upping the frequency and making it unstable.

Great job to everyone who participated in making this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] No1VIPER:
Just tried the 1.7 update, but I cant get it to go any higher than 528mhz, how do you get it to run at 700+?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Soaa-:
Use SetCPU and the setcpu.txt from my Lightspeed thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badgaz:
Been running 1.7 for about an hour I just picked up my phone and it had crashed, the screen was upside down and the colours had gone completely wrong (fuzzy, green and purple).

Restarted phone and rolling back to a different ROM now as it left me a little bit frightened for the safety of my phone.

(I used 1.6 prior with no issues by the way)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
Heh 768mhz just freezes my phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whepper:
I'm back to 1.6. All kind of stability issues with 1.7 even without overclock.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Try reflashing rom and radio

Read faqs for flipclock

When you choose device in SetCPU choose to open setcpu.txt from sdcard, it is flashed with rom

Maxxo? Anyway, 1.7 allows you to choose frequency on your own, maxisma's kernel has been replaced with lightspeed kernel

When you choose device in SetCPU choose to open setcpu.txt from sdcard, it is flashed with rom

setcpu.txt is flashed with rom

I think you set too high frequency
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badgaz:
Didn't touch the frequency just updated from 1.6 to 1.7 and that was all, no tweaking.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Yeah mine keeps freezing too, but every time I go to SetCPU to change it, it freezes anyway :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bengaal:

Of course I mean............Exit93! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
Testing this ROM, so far it feels fast but not blowing me away with speed, very stable though :D

Just a quick Q been a while since ive been on 1.5, is the google maps with nav not available for 1.5. I cant find google maps in the market at all using this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Try wiping and reflashing rom and radio

if you encounter again this problem try a fresh install (wipe then flash rom and radio)

Maps is not avaible on market on android 1.5

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Detol Loki:
I really love this ROM. It's fast, stable, overclocking works great but maybe

you could add the MMS fix app in future? It's handy for a lot of people :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:
Hello Exit93 I have thinking about, can you not use the app rom manager so we can use that app to update you roms?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
Umm just found a problem. When the screen goes off. It wont come back onn :(

The backlight opens (makes the screen appear a very,very dark blue). Buttons light up like normal. Have to take the battery out and reboot.

Then its fine until it goes to lockscreen again, and i have to do the same thing (same thing with 3 install attempts with 3 downloads of the rom [in case of corruption])
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] No1VIPER:
Been using the new 1.7 update for abit now, and after having problems to get setcpu to work properly it seems to be working well at 768mhz, so far ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] poochie2:
I had small issues with 1.6 too with the standby (now I'm running 1.6 with Lightspeed kernel). Usually the light sensor won't ajust the brightness until I re-put the phone in standby, one it even gave me a corrupted image, but I fixed it re-standbying the phone. I'm currently playing with setcpu to get my favorite settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] driver2000:
I have done a reflash rom and radio, but the camera bug is still here.:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madduckuk:
can't get over 2.3 in linpack with 1.7, even with both high and low bars ramped to 768, its exactly like its gone back to stock clocks.

edit: swapped setcpu.txt for the one in the lightspeed thread and im back to 3.2 in linpack, i wont touch setcpu now and ill see if it sticks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Cheers man yeah, that's what I did - didn't have to wipe, just reflashed and it's all good. I think the CPU was set too high and it just kept crashing the app the moment I opened it, but got it set to 691mhz now and its fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dan96815:
What settings did you set in setcpu?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madduckuk:
768/768, and tried all the different modes in the dropdown. i dont want to go in and check exactly cause it is working right now. 3.2/3.3 in linpack...niiice

a version of the ROM without the overclocking app with it locked at 768, or a 1.6 ROM at 768 rather than 710 would be nice i guess for simplicity - feels slightly iffy as is i dunno

thanks Mr. Exit93 though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] No1VIPER:
Ive also starting having these problems, so going back to 1.6, as it seems more stable. To be honest its fast enough anyway really.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lesong_:
first of all a big thanks to Mr. Exit93 for his great and amazing job so far ..

so i've gotten the same problem with the Camera :( ..

but i was wondering where to find the setCPU program since it should be already installed with the 1.7 version according to what i understood, i couldn't find it in the programs or widget after installing 1.7 :confused: ..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FAW_FoX:
Hi,

Sorry to bother you, but I installed this ROM, it worked perfectly, then I did a full backup (of 2.1 Villain Rom 5.3) via Titanium, but I checked by mistake the system settings, and now I lost the .txt file necessary to overclock... Does someone would be kind enought to send me, or upload this file ?

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mavgink:
i'm also having the screen unlock issue..

can I just flash 1.6 again without a wipe???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] No1VIPER:
Yes you should be able to, or if you did a nandroid backup of 1.6 use that.

Im guessing you mean the setcpu one. If so here it is:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sinnadyr:
colors changing

Got some issues, well, not anymore, but when I wiped and flashed to 1.7 the colors went weird on my phone after a while, so I flashed to 1.6 and it worked like it should.

Now I have flashed 1.7 -without- wiping first, and it seems to be working, but does anyone know what may cause the problem? Hadn't clocked or anything before it acted this way, now I have clocked to 729Mhz.

Thanks in advance, and man! This ROM is awesome!!! Thanks dev!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
i used the setcpu.txt file. how do i clock it to a differnet value?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docentore:
To all people having issues with 1.7.

Boot into the recovery mode and edit the setcpu.txt file, delete few last values from it (in my case up to 691200).

If your phone, camera, screen etc has issues it is probably because it cannot handle the higher frequency.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Do anyone modify their roms before flashing it?

I ask because i wonder if its possible to remove the native HTC sms messenger app from my rom. I never use it and its really just a memory hogger.

If anyone knows how to remove the app from the .zip

Where i locate the app etc. Would be really great. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] poochie2:
I "THINK" you can either find the apk in the zip or either remove the apk while in recovery via console. Don't know the apk name but it should be easy to find.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princedwi:
I am not too sure if it's the new kernel or not, but I find Kimera 1.7 to be even more sluggish. While I'm sure people are enjoying the new version, I found Kimera 1.6 to be a much more stable and solid ROM, with the reliability of a 1.5 rom and the blazing 710 mhz OC on the cpu working perfectly. Everything was fast, zippy, smooth, and definitely an improvement over the 2.1 roms I've been trying to enjoy.

With this new build, I find it difficult to get my phone stable, I've even done rewipes, reflashes, etc and it seems like the kernel isn't all that stable. My phone freezes, even though I've delved in setcpu and adjusted to have lower cpu speeds. I really miss the no hassle OC of 1.6, so I hope you can possibly use that rather than this custom kernel.

You have a great rom, and I thank you for your continued development. I'm not too sure how I'd be able to fix the reliability issues, but my two cents, I think 1.6's OC kernel was much better. Of course I'm sure other Hero users report otherwise, but hopefully the input might help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mavgink:
i'm back to 1.6 aswell.. the stability, upside down screen, messed up graphic issues with 1.7 scares the **** out of me... ;)

it's not really a problem though... kimera 1.6 IS the BEST rom I ever tried on my hero... :D

[edit] from soaa's thread [/edit]

My phone doesn't wake sometimes! Or, it wakes and the crashes!

-- Use SetCPU and set the CPU governor to 'performance'.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sinnadyr:
Often it is in /system/app, look around.. maybe Titanium Backup can uninstall it for you?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sinnadyr:
Do you have to wipe coming from 1.7 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:

Hi Exit93,

Anybody help me?

Is it a must that I need to flash the newest Radio Rom in order to fix all the problems like GPS etc.

What are the steps of flashing the Radio Rom? Is it the same as flashing the kimera 1.6 Rom? Will the phone data be deleted if I flash the Radio Rom only?

Which Rom should I flash first? kimera 1.6 then Radio Rom? or Radio Rom then kimera 1.6?

I am now using the official HTC Hero Rom 1.5. Sorry for those silly questions. Thankyou for answering. Please help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bo$s:
Yes. Simply copy .zip to sdcard and flash it via recovery.

No.

It doesn't matter which zip you will flash first.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
hmm...my phone freezes when i overclock it to 768 with setcpu and when i set it to 710 it doesn't gives me the same performance as the 1.6 kimera rom

back to 1.6 for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Reboot after setting the clock and performance will be the same
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
And be careful flashing Radio and at no point pull the battery. It will tell you it's flashing and then tell you to reboot - it is stil flashing after the reboot, when you just get a static image of a box with a phone. Leave it to continue and after a few minutes it will have finished. ( Pulling the battery at the final stage is the biggest cause of bricking)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
1.7 is fantastic.

Fast, stable and clean.

Running at 672mhz and everything works just at it should.

I can't clock it any higher or my phone will crash.

Thanks for this release Exit ;D

Please add link for dropbear for 1.6, thanks :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Detol Loki:
I have a question for you Exit, have you considered adding JiT to your ROM

or is that not possible on this kernel/version on Android? Just imagine the speed..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
Nice work but Camera freezes after shooting.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Soaa-:
JIT isn't available for 1.5. It requires 1.6 minimum, but was designed for 2.1.

For now, we have overclock for 1.5 ROMs and JIT for 2.1 ROMs. It'll be a short while before we can get both at the same time. Patience!

I seem to have som trouble with this 1.7 (no wipe from 1.6)

First boot was okey, then i tried to OC at 672 and took the "short bench". Fine results.

But after a minute the phone is laggy, even at stock freq.

any tip?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] No1VIPER:
A few people have been having problems with 1.7. I suggest if 1.6 worked for you to just go back to that. I think the 1.7 update is more for people who had problems trying to get 1.6 to work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
I agree. 1.7 is more of a risky ROM. You're never really sure of the limits you should set in order for the phone to stay stable. It seems to me it's more of a developper's ROM rather than an end user one where you just need to install and use.

For an average user like myself, it may be better to just stick to 1.6, which is pretty awesome to be honest.

Nonetheless, great job Exit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
Just want to say thanks for this Kimera and also thanks to the kernel creators. The speed difference totally makes up for the few things missing that would be in a 2.1 ROM.

Im using my own version of 1.7, I found 1.6 to be unstable on my Hero, but worked fine using the 650mhz boot. After plenty of testing I have found my best speed and thats using set cpu on 1.7 at 691mhz :D SMOOOOTHHH

Try manually setting up your APN inside Network Setting,then you have 3G again.Have that problem at first didnt know you have to manually set it up. Copy first the setting from your previous rom write it down and set it up on Kimera.HOpe that works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
I got weird problem with this ROM.

Sometimes it freezes, I had it on 710Mhz. I thought it was because of the overclock. Then I tried the 650Mhz version, same problem.. Even without overclock I had freezes.

Now i'm running on MoDaCo 3.2 with Lightspeed kernel and CPU running @ 710Mhz. No lag/freeze at all...

Strange thing, because if I read the stories here, especially about Kimera 1.6, it is very stable. But not with mine :confused:
