[Wildfire General] Mikrouwel:
Hey Guys,

Being a PC overclocker I felt like a fish out of water when it comes to overclocking a phone

I recently got a HTC Wildfire and found out how to root it and flashed my own ROM, Kenral etc. (with some difficulties)

So I downloaded SetCPU and started OC'ing. Being a PC overclocker I followed the logic of set speed and run stability test.

So I slowly started upping the max speed and then stress testing for 20 min odd. I just kept on upping the speed until I got to the limit of SetCPU (768Mhz). Where to from now?

I have not changed the minimum speed because I have read that it can make your phone rather unresponsive.

Is it possible to go above 768Mhz or will I damage the phone or have to up voltage?

I ran linpak and at 768Mhz I got just under 3 MFLOPS. Is that good or bad or what?

Thanks in advance guys

[Wildfire General] djdevine2:
768 is the safe limit, you'll need to make a kernal that will allow the processor to go further, 3mflops is good on a sense ROM but on an AOSP ROM you will get over 5 easily. Why do you want to go over 768 anyway?
[Wildfire General] Mikrouwel:
What is the difference between sense and AOSP ROM? If it is just the sense feture then I dont mind changing ROMS. (Dont use sensce)

Also what is Cyanogenmod 7 RC1? Is it the same os CM7? Seem alot of people talking but dont now what it is?

Thanks

Mikrouwel
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
AOSP -> Android Open Source Project. It is vanilla Android, without Sense. So Yes, your assessment is correct. It is just the Sense feature.

Cyanogenmod 7 = CM7. Just a short way of writing it.
[Wildfire General] Mikrouwel:
Hi There

Is Cyanogenmod 7 a ROM?

Also is Android Open Source Project ROM too or a app?

Sorry kinda confussed

Also what is Clockworkmod Recovery? Does it have something to do with ROM Manager?

Thanks

Mikrouwel
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
1: Yes, CM7 is a ROM

2: AOSP Official Page: http://source.android.com/

3: Recovery Images are found whenever you boot into Recovery. Example: All that you see like Clear Cache, Install ZIP from SDC etc. are part of a recovery. ROM Manager is a standalone app and is not related to Recovery, although, it can help update the recovery since the developer of Clockworkmod Recovery and ROM Manager are the same.

Technical Definition of Recovery: (Sourced from Turkeys Ultimate Guide Glossary)

The recovery partition is a boot-mode for your phone that allows you to wipe your settings from the #data partition of the phone (a hard wipe), or perform an update using an update.zip file on the root of the microSD card. It is common (although not necessary) to flash a patched Recovery image, such as Amon RA's one. This allows you to run Nandroid backup from the device, and flash modifications, such as

update.zip

files to the device, essentially becoming a means to install sotware to the device. Recovery mode is separate from 'normal' mode, and can be entered by holding down home whilst turning the phone on.

Oh, you should probably go through Turkeys guide and glossary yourself. It should help a lot.Thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824396

Many thanks Guys,

ATM I am using this ROM with this kernal. Were can I download CM& and will the notiable differences be between the one im using and CM7?

Also what is New Nightly? (You have #13 next to yours?)

Thanks alot guys

Mikrouwel
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
CM7 can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=918072

Or, the latest, i.e. RC2 can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957140

Nightlies are automated builds created by the Build bot. If you check the first link I posted, in that post's download link, you will find new nightlies everyday. Nightlies implement minor code changes, and, are experimental releases. They may add new features (eg: Nightly #11 implemented Android 2.3.3, #13 implemented FM Radio etc.), but may also add new bugs sometime.

As for differences, one cant say for sure, since ROM preference is a personal choice. Try it, if it suits you, use it, else, switch back.
[Wildfire General] Mikrouwel:
Hi There,

I am going to try CM7.

IS the RC2 stable and if so is it more or less stable than RC1?

Also if I just go into recovery and flash will I have to flash nightlys or not?

If I am not mistaken it runs 2.3 and I thought that there were many features that didnt work on 2.3? (Gingerbread)

Also what kernal do you recommend I should use on CM7 that will let me got 768+?

Many many thanks guys for all the help :) :D :) :D

Oh yes and what app do I use if I want to keep all my apps and contacts and stuff like that? I used titanium backup last time and only got like half the stuff back? :(

Thanks Guys :)

* RC2 is stable for me. No issues so far, although camera sound bug is still there - If you take some pics using flash, phone loses all sound and you have to reboot.

* After RC2, it is upto you whether you want to flash nightlies or not. There is no compulsion.

* Can you list some features that dont work on 2.3? Personally, I cant find anything amiss over 2.1 / 2.2

* CM7 comes by default with an overclocked kernel, which will allow OC to 768. Overclocking beyond 768 is not possible since that is the safe limit for the Wildfire's CPU. Because it is overclocked by default, if you get a bootloop, flash HCDR.Kernel v4.1 after flashing CM7. This will restore stock clocks, but, still allowing OC using an app like SetCPU

* Apps can be backed up using Ti backup / Mybackup Pro etc. Contacts can be backed up by going to Contacts > Export > To SD Card. Then, after flashing, again going to Contacts > Import > From SD Card, and select the VCF File. SMS'es can be backed up by using the free SMS Backup App from the market.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
From the command line type

Cd\ "hit enter"

Then

cd\AndroidSDk\tools\ " hit enter"

Then mount -a if you want to mount your sd card "hit enter"

Or adb shell "hit enter"

To use adb

Or adb remount to mount your file directory/system " I think "

Or just use the commands to flash your recovery.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Are you running windows or linux on your computer??? And y not just take your card out and format threw your pc or via card reader???

Edit : don't forget to name your recovery correctly as in

recovery-RA-heroc-v.1.7.img

If your trying to flash RA

And make sure it reads on your sd/card correctly as in .img and not

img.img

So to flash RA for example would be

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v.1.7.img

You just need to mount the system as r/w and then push. I can't remember the command. I have a link on my computer, try searching for the adb command to mount the system as writable, like with google or xda search, if you can't find it post and I'll link you tomorrow.

Thanks, I tried that, its "adb remount", got the same error. This is crazy..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
FYI, this is going to sound mean: you have 24 posts and a month membership, me 1400 and 2 years, when I tell you you need to mount it r/w, I know what I'm talking about. The command you think is right "remount" simply mounts the system to adb. The command I was talking about is something like "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmc2/system" I will try to find the exact code, but for real when you need help try not to tell people it is you who knows what's going on, after all, you cannot get past the bootloader.

Lots of unneeded hostility in this thread.

I'm working under the assumption that you can boot into recovery but for some reason it isn't functioning entirely properly.

Download ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7 and place it into the same folder as adb.

Boot into recovery by holding HOME button while powering on your phone.

Copy and paste the following into the command prompt: adb shell mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard

Copy and paste: adb push recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img /sdcard/recovery.img

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxsanioutlawxx:
I've been using my Captivate for several months now. But i'm going to upgrade to a newer phone soon, probably during the summer. I'm going to pass my Captivate on to my little brother, who has no need for the data plan. It's been rooted and unlocked. I want to call AT&T and tell them that I have misplaced the phone and am now using my Sony Ericsson w810i, so I have no use for the Data Plan. Hopefully when my brother uses his sim, AT&T wont slap on another data plan charge to my already huge bill! I was wondering if someone can validate if this seems possible, or guide me to where I can find further info on this. I was also wondering is theres a way to change the IMEI# to my SE w810i IMEI#. Not really cheating them, since there will be no data usage and I actually do own the SE w810i =P

P.S.- An employee @ Best Buy told me that if I rooted and unlocked my Captivate, that I would be able to remove my data plan.

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orions:
from what i have heard, as long as the imei that is registered is not one from a smart phone then you should not have to worry about a data plan being added on. so if the sony is registered with att and then swap the sim into the captivate then you should be good. now that said, some one i know had a different phone registered under their account, then switched to a iphone and had the data plan put on their account. i guess as soon as att detects it they add it on even if a different imei is on the account. i know 3 other people that have the captivates and all have different imei under their accounts and none of them have a data plan. one of them even has an imei from one of those pay as you go phones from att which was like $10 or $20 and everything has been good.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Changing the IMEI is not legal so will not be supported on XDA.

As far as the rest. ATT does an IMEI sweep every now and then to update the system to make sure they have the right IMEI on the account. After a while (if you give the phone to your bro) he will get a text stating that his data plan doesnt match the device and they will change it over for you. Only way they can tell is if the IMEI is not in the system like a device from another carrier. I ran my old HD 2 without a data plan for almost a year and it came up as an old nokia device.

I bought my cappy back in November online from AT&T. I haven't had a data plan on this phone or my old LG Incite in over a year and a half.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
something to consider is did you buy the cappy out right? or buy on a contract plan? if you bought on a contract you agreed to have a Data plan for a set # of years, they might let you sign a new contract or try to hold you to your older more profitable data plan.. even if you no longer have a data phone. depends on how evil they feel today.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whyareyou:
one used to be able to just cancel the data plan after a month on new contract with ATT without getting charged extra or termination fee etc. Just be sure to not use any data, otherwise you'll be paying a hefty charge on any data usage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProBoner:
I would think that as long as you continue with the data plan on the sony, AT&T shouldn't care what happens to the other phone unless you're trying to access data with it...to avoid that, as soon as you put the new sim in it, change the apn settings. Make sure the actual APN settings are deleted as well as ports...but you can leave the mms settings intact.
