If there are other Alltel Hero users here, what is the fastest stable processor speed you're able to use. I've been using CM6 for a few weeks but I've only used the default 691 mhz setting. I've heard the Sprint Hero can be pushed a little harder than the Alltel. I'd like to hear from someone else before I try to increase. Don't really know why I want to increase, because CM6 runs great with no lag or slowdowns. Just curious I guess.
Thanks in advance -
I just installed a new kernel my htc hero from alltel is clocked at 768 which is the max and its working great!

i have noticed in most hero roms the speed is under clocked o 384mhz and i heard hat 528mhz causes problems. if so what are these problems???

I'm assuming it would cause instability and possibly more lag. There are different reasons for underclocking though, it might just be to conserve power.
I run at 528mhz just fine on Hero.
thanks for reply's i might as well over clock and see what happens

Depends on your ROM, JacHero works great overclocked, Drizzy's Hero has problems with it though.
My Hero install runs great on 32mb swap, 85 swappiness and 528mhz processor (and NO weather widgets of any kind). Very snappy and responsive, smooth.
running at 528 mhz causes all the ram to be taxed the to max which may cause the mms bug running 383 mhz seems to lessen the effect but does not fully fix it.
I have Aloysius 2.1 running ROM 2.1
it has a build in overclock using
SetCPU for Root Users [1.5.4] 05/24/2010
it is overclocked to 710 max when demand is placed on it
245 min when there is no demand
if in another rom (say damagecontrol rom) the overclock program setcup 1.5.4 suggests a maximum of 528 for the Hero - not 710 (as is built into the Aloysius ROM.
Question is - will this 710 overclock speed hurt the sprint HERO processor?
currently - one day of trial - this rom runs very fast but i do not want to hurt the phone
clarify the overclock question

Our MSK chip set has been placed in several phones and over clocked in several phones. As far as I or any of the devs are aware, it has never hurt it. 710mhz is well in the bounds of "safe". I think toast had it up to almost 800 before he started having big issues.
That being said, you are placing extra strain on the processor - that means it won't last as long as it would normally. At least in theory.
You drive your car 25 mph like a grandma all the time, you get 300,000 miles out of it. You drive it 500 mph all the time, it'll only last 2,000 miles. YMMV Pun intended.
hi I was wondering how high you can over clock your hero. I have to 758 mhz and it is perfectly stable. Is there any thing i can use to over clock it more.
768 is the highest I've seen.

I've heard that 710 is really the highest you can reliably run, I wouldn't risk the damage just to go that little bit higher.

Thats all I have seen to. I did here that you could get it a little over 900 MHz.
LOL, it would probably catch on fire at 900.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe this.
Mine is closked to 691 and it totally stable. If I push to 710 it starts to become less stable.
Can you show us screenprints ?
Im running 2.2. ShootMe doesn't work on this rom, go download and test for yourself.
im also running 2.2. if you wanna try it out for yourself download ([Rom] Darchdroid v2.7 "KangSlayer" | Complete, OC'd, MMS, Camera, Everything!!) I am at 768 MHz. I use setcpu, profiles. when the screen is off its at 518 MHz.
sry because i am new i cant poste urls

Mine is stable at 787 also.. Ever hero is different.. Iv also been running OC since the day toastcfh figured it out over 2 months ago. I have ran 768mhz min and max for an entire day with no problem (i was benchmarking and forgot). Some people cant even run 710mhz without there phone becoming unstable.
Also 768mhz is the clock speed most kernels are maxed at cuz the highest clock speed the hero can be clocked to with a benefit is 768mhz (darch will include 787 in his kernels sometimes). 787mhz will actually give the same or worse results as 768 because it, in a sense, clogs the CPU. We cant raise our FSB of the cpu.
Toastcfh, the reason who got us OC, has actually pushed it as far as he could go. He got way higher then 787. But like i said, there is not benefit of it.
Our phones wont blow up or stop working because the speeds are high. If you keep the temps down you really dont have anything to worry about, temps are the main reason why OC will kill the life of a CPU.
Awesome Information, Thanks.
So I have a random question here. I've got a buddy that has his original G1 overclocked at 1.2Ghz. I was pretty impressed by it and figured if the G1 could achieve that, then the Hero has to have at least a kernel up to 1 Ghz. Any thoughts on this? I really don't care about overheating the phone, I'm just tired of the lag. Right now I'm clocked at 728 Mhz.

You must do more than overclock to improve responsiveness.
I can run a stock, rooted and just by deleting many, many items, the phone is very fast(responsive).
Typically, the Hero will dislike clock speeds over 710. Some can run stable at 768 but not many.
Well, honestly. I really don't care what my Hero likes. Lol. I once had a Palm Pre running at 1.2 Ghz and it was blazing fast. I don't really think that storage space really makes a huge difference, it more or less depends on your clock speed.

Good luck, man. If you just want to ramp up the speeds, try the standard voltage kernel. Found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705074
I would say use the v4 version as it runs the stock(I believe)voltage. There also may be others that other users will suggest; Im not a pro by any means.
I am getting annoyed with the speed of my Sprint Hero. the lag on the dialer is really annoying me, I hit dial and wait 5-10 seconds before the phone actually dials then it does the stupid vibrate after the call is ringing already.
Sometimes I think i did not hit the call button so i hit it again, and nothing happens for a while then suddenly I get 2 calls going at the same time to the same person.
I am rooted and running a 2.1ROM but I forgot which one, but it doesnt have any special features besides the super user app and htc sense.
Im willing to settle for something with out sense as long as it speeds up the phone.
I am even considering if its possible to unroot and to whatever 2.1 version sprint has out now and hope it fixes things.
Please let me know which ROM I should try, I dont care about sense, live wallpapers, special animations, just make the phone quicker.
cyanogen 2.2 mod is the best...overclock it to 768
Well, I assure you that using stock 2.1 will *not* fix your problems, especially lag issues. Better to stick to modded ROMs, to be honest.
After trying a few ROMs, I came to love ZenEXP. And with the 0.9.7 release that just came out, it seems like things have gotten even faster. You're rooted, so... do a nand backup, and give it a shot. Try Cyanogen too, as the last person said.

Please note that not every Hero will tolerate 768 on the processor. Really, seems only a select few can run it without stability issues. Mine will freeze instantly if set any higher than 710. This is why the new CM6 is clocked at 691, so everyone can boot it, and so it is rock solid. If you can get 768, then you are one of the lucky ones!

How do you get it to 768? I'm using setCPU and it peaks at 528
My max is 678.. but I put it at 652. Should I just max it out at 678?
Never mind its 691.. I maxed it.. I wont have a problem with battery overheating right?

The app that you use to manage your OC speed doesn't determine how fast your processor will actually run, it's all based on the kernel embedded (or flashed) onto your phone. If you're running stock 2.1 then SetCPU will only show your max speed as 528mhz because that's how fast the stock kernel is. Other ROMs like DarchDroid and CM6 have kernels that boost the max speed to over 700mhz. If you install one of those then you'll see massive speed improvements to your phone and with SetCPU you can either leave the kernel to allow for maximum speed or you can throttle it down if your phone becomes unstable and can't handle it.

Wow, thanks for the tip. I'm running the stock 2.1 atm because I haven't found a rom that combines both live wallpapers and multitouch yet. I play games on my phone often, probably too often, and I have to be able to use two fingers. The live wallpaper thing is just because I think it looks really cool, especially that mario one.
benchmarking
what are good scores

If you're looking for pure speed I recommend pancake 0.1,very fast 1.6 rom, if you're looking for something sorta fast and up to date, use cm6

CM6 is the best... fast and packed with features, and it's froyo! Use CM6 with the uncapped kernel
Can anyone show me where to find this CM6? Newbie...sorry

Which Cm6 is better? Are there any differences?
All of the cm6's are fast, just have to figure the right configuration for your own phone!

I increased the vm heap on cm6 to 32m and it eliminated any and all lag for me. It runs like a scalded dog.
