Well, I cant get my evo until July 3rd so I'm sticking to my hero for now.

I'll try DC i guess or just stick with fresh toast. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
How long are you waiting on that black HTC screen? It's a long wait time on it....like five mins or so, then it hits the nexus bootscreen. Did you wait long enough....? You have to be patient with first boots around here, lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stellarex:
Left it for over 30 minutes and over 2 hours. Came back and it was stuck on the black HTC screen.

I think something is wrong with my SD Card. Its not deleting my ext when I try to wipe. I got fresh toast back on there and its loading apps on my phone that I shouldnt have after I wipe my SD Card. I'm going to try just wiping my SD card from my computer and trying that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 151jcolon:
same for me, im using dc 2.07.2 stock on black htc screen

edit: fixed just flashing *damage768.zip*, i dont know why but is fixed. :)

oc and jit enable there is my linpack bench... im happy , my hero is flying. thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twiggy2cents:
sorry if this has been answered anywhere on here. I have a samsung moment and they have made it so you can flash a different kernel on a stock rooted build. My g/f owns a HTC Hero CDMA and likes her stock theme but I was wondering if a stock rooted build could run this kernel or if it requires a ROM too.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
The stock 2.1 build?

You could flash this kernel, but it wouldn't be optimized for your build. You'd have to rip the ramdisk from your boot.img and then couple it with this kernel.

It doesn't require a ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twiggy2cents:
okay one little threadjack :) is there a kernel that isnt totally rom specific that would enable overclocking?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
You can grab the boot.img from FreshToast, since it's the same ramdisk as the official build + it has overclock.

Here, I'll just package it into an update.zip. (Attached)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twiggy2cents:
wow thank you very much!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Once damage/treve re-release 2.09 ill make an update.zip that will set the phone back to default boot.img. Save from nandroiding back or reflashing.

Also ill update this page with a working kernel if this one gives any problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
OFF TOPIC: Up for trying to figure out how to under-volt(its like the final frontier)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Ill give it a attempt. I gotta go in an hour, but i can compile a few kernels in that time. lol

Crap i gotta switch back to my linux boot up.. I forgot i was on windows.

I can't seem to get DC 2.08 to boot when OC to 710 default and using ext4. I search for "ext4" but didn't find much. When I repartition my SD card back to just ext3, it works fine. Any idea's?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
dc doesnt support ext 4. the oc kernel does but not the rom

Sounds like fun..I'm down for testing!:cool::cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
Is there an app in the market that I can use to test what CPU I'm running at? Just to see if I'm truly running 710 or what have you. linpack isn't very helpful in that regard
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
Overclock Widget will show you. Its free.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
it tells you? I just thought you set it from that. I do have it installed, just dont see where it tells you what you are running at. Unless you mean on the widget itself, in red numbers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
Yes the widget shows you what its currently running at.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
I dont need the widget install though right for the kernel to work? It seems laggier with the widget installed. Couldnt I install it, set the CPU and uninstall?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
Correct, if you downloaded the 710 kernel for example, it will be OC'd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
Sweet, thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pbp776:
I used System Panel. It show what your CPU speed is running at also.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] collin_ph:
I have tested this on DC 2.09.1, and It's running very laggy. I'm not running a swap, and using the recommended settings Treve posted in the update for DC. It's running VERY slowly at 768mhz -- I had previously been running at that speed flawlessly under 2.08.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roadster92:
On the contrary, I ran with DC 2.09.1 and it just as snappy with 2.08.1. My Neocore is 32.1 FPS (which is about the same as Fresh Toast 2.1). However, I did not use Treve recommended settings :) and leave everything at default. But I have gone back to 2.08.1 because I could not get 2.09.1 to run with JIT :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jay24k:
Finally got time to test it all. Tried all the ones you uploaded and stuck at the HTC screen. I've even wiped everything and reformated sdcard as fat and the ext with no luck.

I tried the Ic3Rom and that does the same thing. Is this phone just not able to OC?

Edit: I'm now on DC 2.09.1 after full wipe.

Phone Stock on HTC logo after OC'ing with 768

I had damagecontrol rom 2.08.1 which was working fine on my HTC Hero (cdma). Then I decided to overclock with the 768 zip using the recovery menu. It showed that the flashing was successful but then when I tried to reboot. It just gets stock at the HTC logo screen with black background. My sdcard is partitioned into ext and fat. I have removed the battery, restarted multiple times same problem. I can't get back to the recovery rom. I will appreciate help from you guys.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
So after the sd card has been partioned we copy the zip file onto the sd card and flash like as if were a rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rrr571:
My wife's hero is in the same boat. It will not boot past HTC screen on any of the OC's ROMS nor will it boot past HTC screen when flashing a new kernel. I am going to try to have sprint replace it. My Hero runs OC ROMs and w/ JIT/OC/App2SD enabled and benchmarks at 4.8-5.0 MFLOPS. I even tried to restore one of my nandroid BUs on her Hero. I have read that there is quite a bit of performance variability on these processors, and some are just not capable of OCing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
You should of left your kernel the same and just download Setcpu or OC widget. The 710 kernel can be clocked to 768mhz. It just defaults at 710 if you dont change anything using an OC'ing app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
If you havent tried it already. Yes thats what you do.

Remember this isnt a rom. It should be flashed on top of your rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] techwerkz:
Is compache working on this, or is it still hit or miss? free reported all 0's. I am using the 768 and the newest DC.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] OneRedAnarchist:
Love the 710 kernel, running DC v2.08.1 and not using any overclocking app, runs beautiful on it's own.

reclaiming partion space???

OK so I created a partition using all the defualts and then I upgraded from ext2 to ext3 so that I could try and run the damages537.zip file but was unsuccessful. I want to reclaim that partition space, how do I do it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Its kinda hit a miss, mainly because dconfig in the DC rom. Turn swap on in the app and you wont get 0's.

Just repartition your sdcard the same way you did before. Just put 0's for the first 2 inputs. Then do the rest fat32.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
I'm running this kernel on DC 2.08.1 and all it does is cause my phone to freeze/lockup or act sluggish.

I used the 710 flash, with OC widget set to throttle back when screen is off. I am not having the success that others are talking about here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tazdeviloo7:
Does this kernel have the same problems as FreshToast? Phone app FCing during incoming calls and such.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Dont ever touch the settings for when the phone sleeps. It will most of the time cause lag when waking the phone up.

Just install DC rom and then this 710 kernel and dont mess with any OC'ing app. Then let me know if it still lags for you. Also dont judge this in the first 5mins of booting the phone up. Let everything load and run and then start messing with the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
It acts the same regardless of whether or not I use an OC app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mmmjesse:
im trying this on a fresh DC 2.09.01 on my Hero. DC loads fine normal. Then i tried flashing each kernal and it stops on the white HTC screen on all 3. Ive let it sit for atleast 20 minutse. Any idea? Im not a complete newb but i still have alot to learn. Im dying to try out this kernal!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] techwerkz:
I have swap enabled in dconfig, still shows zeros. Also have the issues mentioned below.

Noticed this using the 768. I am going to try 710, and leave it alone. Will report back. My Evo consumes most of my time when I have time to mess with these things.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Updated first post with a newer damage710v2.zip

It is the exact same kernel as damage710 but with the ramdisk from the newest release 2.09 which is based off of the newest sprint release. If anyone was having problems with the older kernel OC on 2.09, give this a try and let me know if any problems still exist. Or if it boots at all (i havent tested any of the released kernels personally :p.. i cant even boot damagecontrol with my sdcard partitioned to ext4)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roadster92:
I checked out the Ramdisk's init.rc between the 2.09.1 and 2.08.1. There are no differences. I have been using 768 and testing with DC 2.09.1 for the past 3 days so far I found no issue on my phone. I guessed i got lucky with a high quality phone that haven't been giving me problem except boot loop with JIT on the latest greatest Fresh Toast 2.1 and DC 2.09.1 :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Yea i didnt care to look if they were different.. I just figured i would do it real quick, maybe it helps, or maybe its the same and it might make people have the illusion that it helped lol.

I got off my linux boot up and got back on windows so i cant see if theres any difference between the 2. Oh well it only took like a minute to do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roadster92:
I hated dual boot, I used cygwin to do all this stuffs :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Looks interesting.. Never heard of that before.

I usually HATE dual booting. My last attempt at doing it was a complete failure after 2 days (this was like 2 years ago). But about a month ago i set up dual boot again, this time just using the Ubuntu live cd and it works amazing. The live cd partitions my hard drive and everything and sets the boot up screen pretty nicely.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] D3FAULT:
Okay, I've tried ALL of the downloads in the first post and ALL of them freeze me on the HTC screen.. really annoying. Any way to get past that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] techwerkz:
Seems some are reporting the freeze issues after making calls in the DC 2.09.1 thread. I am still going to try 710 on the Hero ... just haven't had time. Been to busy with the Evo.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jstamm:
Need some help please

Hey Guys,

I am fairly new to this forum and have fully rooted my hero and flashed Damagecontrol 2.0.8.1 right before the 2.0.9 came out. I have no intention to upgrade to the 2.0.9 since DC has now moved onto the new EVO. Anyway, I have been playing around with DC 2.0.8 and love this rom but would like to get it a little faster (currently running around 2.0 - 2.4 mflops). However, after doing extensive research and trying by trial and error I can't seem to get any of these Kernels to work on my phone and be stable (my definition of stable - I noticed that once I flash these kernels to my hero has problems with booting...sometimes the HTC screen has to reboot once, sometimes three times before loading into the rom. Most of the time...i found myself in the boot loop). I noticed that once I flash any of these kernels for the first time it works like wonders (mflops around 3.0 -3.2 at 710) in till I need to reboot my phone then i fall into this issue. Now i have tryed many things:

1). flashed all three kernels (DC537, DC710 and DC768) with Setcpu

2). flashed both the DC537 and DC710 without the Setcpu installed

3). re-flashed several times over the first attempt of kernel (worked for 2 bootups)

4). Started from scratch (nandorid the original 1.5, then wiped cache partition, boot, system, data, cache and partitioned the SD card. Then flashed 2.0.8 and wiped the Dalvik cache) - still same results

The only thing I haven’t tried yet was to back out the 2.42.01.04.27 Radio Baseband update which I did last week because I guess this img file does not get included in the nandorid image file because I restored my original 1.5 before I had done anything and it still came up with the 2.42.01.04.27 Radio.

At any rate, I heard that people had this kernel to work great on their heros with the 2.0.8 but I have tried everything I can think of to get these kernels to work for me. I addition I heard that some heros work with certain updates and others don’t...but to be honest...im a computer guy and I know that doesn’t seem logical. Agreed that when people add these updates everyone has different apps, settings, ect which could affect the flash. This is why i tried to start with a clean slate to get the kernel flashed before I do anything to my phone.

So I was wondering if anyone has had this problem before or am I missing a step somewhere to get this kernel to be stable during bootups. Let me know. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Everyones phones going to respond different from each other. The 537, 710 and 768 kernels are actually all running at 768mhz. I just have an added code in the boot.img that downclocks to 710 or 537 and sets it as default while the phone is booting. The reason some people cant even boot 537mhz because while the phones booting, its not getting to the line of code in ramdisk to set the clock speed lower fast enough, and the phone is rebooting because its running at 768mhz which it cant handle. 768mhz is way higher then the default limit of our CPU's on the hero, so it was never tested or meant to run at those speeds. Some can do it and some cant.

I can compile a kernel that will run at whatever clock speed by default without the line of code in ramdisk. Like instead of the limit being 768mhz i can make the limit 537, so there is no chance of it running any faster. I have told a few people already, ill compile a kernel that just about everyone will be able to boot. I just havent had time.

This is from wikipedia- kinda talks about key reasons, i couldnt find an in depth description like i was hoping and i didnt want to type one out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
Does anyone have a copy of the stock kernel? This one just doesn't work right on my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bratten2121:
Overclock

So what file should we flash to overclock on fresh 2.1.2?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caliboy99:
I used the damage537 zip file, which means 537 is the default clock speed. I then downloaded the setcpu from xda to set my desired OC. FYI ive read that clocking over 720 may cause lag issues. I have mine OC'ed at 710 max and it is running nicely. good luck
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Any of them will work. Just pick one. Read why they are different. They all are capable of 768mhz though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vestaviajag:
So out of curiosity, I assume I have one of those weaker Hero's since it won't get past the HTC screen once flashed... is there any plans or thoughts on how to make this kernel work for the unlucky folks, like me? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] overthinkingme:
Running DC2.09@768MHz smoooooothly. Thanks!

Anxious to see how the battery survives >_<
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jstamm:
Thanks

Alright so that makes sense then why everyone has different results since each Hero is made on different dates and different locations so the internal hardware parts may not be all identical but with similar capabilities. It didn’t realize that all three of these kernels run at the same speed by default which makes sense why my phone isn’t working with any of them.

However, as a suggestion, when you do get the chance I think it would be better to have three separate kernels with three different default speeds which allow any of the users to determine which speed suites their phone capabilities. I do think that the 537 one should be bumped up a little (you know like high 500's to low 600's) since 518 is the factory standard kernel.

Well keep us posted on your progress and hopefully soon we will all be able to OC with DC. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jstamm:
As of right now...it looks like for us who has the weaker heros there is nothing we can do in till Jus10o can create us new kernels which have lower default speeds. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vestaviajag:
I hope so...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] D3FAULT:
For those who can't OC using this, look here and try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6826311#post6826311

Obviously do a nandroid backup first because I can't make any promises. It has worked for me and a few others that couldn't get OCing working otherwise. I have no idea what it actually does besides allowing OCing though. I flashed it to my stock 2.1 and it let me OC when nothing else did and I didn't notice any other changes..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Im off work tomorrow.. Ill put a boot.img together for everyone with problems booting these.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Hey Jus10o, have you thought out a kernelset at 691, seems from reading around that more phones seems to be able to boot at this speed, I personally thought the 691 was the most responsive when I was playing with the settings. Just a thought. Great job on this by the way. I use the 710 on mine and the wifes wont boot on that, but bootswith the 537 and runs at 691 perfectly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
I'm using the 710 OC'd kernel within FreshROM 2.1.2 and my hero is running beautifully! Thanks so much! I thought it was perfect before with just fresh, but now, its truly perfect!

Man I love XDA!

im experiencing drastic battery loss. i barely get 8hrs of moderate use and my battery is completely drained. I am used to getting at 8hrs 25% or so of battery still left on my phone. I flashed the 768 over bittersweet rom. anybody else experiencing this? i am flashing the default now to see if in the next 2 days battery use is back to normal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
I dont think its an issue do to the OC kernel. Might of been an app or something.

Also did you use an OC'ing app, or just flashed kernel and used like normal?

Anyone willing to test the damagecontrol test kernel i have a few post up???

I just need to no if its at least bootable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] izzystylez:
ok so overclocking doesnt take up battery ? i have not used no OC'ing app just flashed and used as regular...

Also, even though i never wrote these figures down before when i didnt have battery problems, i noticed my uptime and my awake time are exactly the same which doesnt sound right to me. might b something with the rom perhaps....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Yea that means the phone isnt sleeping..

OC doesnt take much battery, mostly because of "ondemand" CPU control. It scales up and down depending on how much power your phone needs at that time. So most of the time its not scaled up to 768mhz, specially if just sitting on the home screen or scrolling through things its not gunna run very high. Also it kinda cancels out any negative effect on the battery life because since the CPU is running faster, it can do things quicker. The same task on a OC phone would go faster then non OC one, finishing it faster and scaling the CPU down quicker using less battery. Same concept implies to JIT. It runs tasks and finishes quicker, scaling the CPU down faster. (JITs not a big deal right now, only in 2.2 android).

Something in the rom, or the kernel mixed with the rom might be causing a 100% awake time. A clean install could only tell. Flash the rom then the kernel and boot up. Dont download anything right away and see if you get the 100% awake time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] izzystylez:
sigh... i just got everything working how i wanted too...lol but this battery issue is more annoying than having to install everything again...

thanks for the rapid response n sry for signaling out ur kernels like that lol

so to verify u want me to factory reset, wipe, flash rom, and then kernel and nothing else , to see if that does the trick?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Oh I didn't mind. I'm willing to help to find the issue though.

And yes flash rom and kernel only. If you still have the awake time then I'll now more of where to look. if its not there then its something you installed.

Best way to figure it out is one step at a time. Flash rom only, then check. Flash kernel, then check. Setup apps and phone, then check.

I searched before asking this, so I apologize if I somehow missed it. I'm wondering what the benefit is to running an OC'd Kernel when we can just run an overclocking widget instead? Both can be scaled to fit our needs right?
