Overclocking on normal 2.1?

Okay. As you can see by my post count I'm a newb to ALL of this, so please be patient.
I just recently, within the last week maybe, got a HTC Hero. I immediately updated to 2.1. (No custom rom or anything, my device is not even rooted.)
I honestly do not want a custom rom. To me they almost all look ugly and I have a feeling they're not as stable. Either way, I don't want one.
I do, however, want to overclock my phone. Is there a way to do this without getting a custom rom that removes/adds stuff?
Thank you.

To overclock, you have to root.
I think Jus10o has posted a flashable kernel that allows overclocking on any Sprint-based 2.1 ROM, including stock, but I am not sure. I imagine he'll chime in if he has.
Just out of curiosity, what is that you don't like about custom ROMs? Fresh ROM (not FreshToast) is basically the official ROM made more stable. A lot of people have a lot more problems with the official ROM than they do with custom ROMs, or so my experience has gone. Sprint and HTC fix problems once a year (it seems..) where as the devs here hop on problems with their ROMs instantly. Most get things fixed the same week they're noticed.

Okay. Thank you. I suppose my next step is to look at how to root my phone and finding that kernel..
As far as custom ROMs go, I don't see a need for one. The ONLY issue I have with my phone is the occasional lag, which I would hope to fix with an overclock. Not even sure that would help it, but I want to try it anyway.
Thanks for the help.

[Q] Flash on CM6

Is it possible to get flash on it cuz I really want to put it on.

flash will not work on the Hero processor... there might be a possibility of flash lite.

o well then how come some roms have it then cuz i saw a rom and it said it had flash 10.1

I told you it wouldn't work on the Processor we had. Did you listen? No. I even had to text you from church this morning just to tell you.

dont listen to him..... recently we were able to make flash 10.1 work on our phones. but only on sense roms. we do not have it figured out on our froyo port yet. but zen-rom and NFX-hero and i think some other sense based roms have working flash 10.1

But isnt that only a tweak of flash lite, I've heard people say it is and it isnt, but I have yet to see the flash on sense perform the way it does on the evo, I'm pretty sure thats just flash lite. Adobe has already said that flash 10 was made for at least an ARM v7 (Cortex) processor.
edit: yes only on sense roms cause thats htc flash a.k.a. flash lite

No it is 10.1. Nfinitefx had to take the binarries out of 10.1 and put it in the flash lite apk to make it work. And since its not made for our phones it will not run as good as a nexus or evo. Maybe we could do some tweaking to get it to run smoother. But our current sense roms do infact have flash 10.1

Updates?
Any updates on Flash 10.1 for HTC Heros running CM6?

which gingerbread rom is this?

Hey saw this Vid, wondering what rom and kernel he is running, if anyone knows which they are please let me know. thanks

first off this a tech demo and not a stable day to day use rom. You will not be able to use this normally on the phone (reagular reboots and instability) it was simply a taste of gingerbread for some devs here. I would highly recommend not flashing especially since you aren't really experienced yet. You should flash one of the many stable roms in the dev section, but if you insist on it, here is the thread for it:

i tried dling this rom and installing from clockwork recovery as a zip and it says it installed and takes me right back to the original rom i started with. also is there a kernel i should flash to make things more stable. thanks

I'm pretty sure you have to flash the 2.3 kernel for it to boot into gb. But as joeshmoe said, it isn't a good idea if you aren't experienced (I bricked a capivate trying to get this to work, seriously, it isn't a good idea). There's plenty of great froyo roms out and some nice gb themes, I'd recommend just taking that route.

Serendipity is basically as close to AOSP Gingerbread as is available right now.

It *is* being developed for the Captivate, but not on a native Captivate kernel. The reorient, headphone, button fixes are native to the i9000 port when it detects the hardware as a Captivate.

Don't flash it. Seriously. Codeworkx/Coolya were digging through the source, and the nexus s kernel source has differing voltages than the galaxy s. ie, it can actually destroy parts of your hardware. Wait a couple of weeks, the rc for CM7 should be out by then.

well i dont plan to use the rom long term just wanted to flash to it and mess with it then probably switch back to a froyo rom shortly after. but having an issue getting it to run. if i download a kernel with voodoo and run the lagfix to ext4 then flash the rom should that get it up and running?
edit: went ahead and flashed perception and then the rom, reboots constantly, so looks like ill go back to perception and tough it out with a gingerbread theme. Gonna miss that lock animation.... ok now anyknow know how i get back to recovery mode, or do i have to flash back to stock? and reroot?
edit2: dont flash this rom, waste of time, just play with your friends nexus S, back to serendipity

All for a lock screen animation......... wow.

Most reliable/complete 2.3 rom

Hi,
I've never tried a gb rom (in fact any rom), but I'm rooted and ready to go. But which one? So many choices.
What's the most reliable and complete gb 2.3 rom? Recommendations?

You want everything for granted? Test and see which is good enough for you. Maybe someone has other tastes...

Hi Andy,
I've been using MicroMod's ASOP for a while now with no issues (other than those listed, mainly no Video Camera). Getting around 2 days battery life with moderate use, which is better than other roms I've tried.
It's mainly stock, which works for me. Best bet is to try a few and see what you like. Nandroid is your friend!
Matt

Micromod's GB ROM is pretty stable for everyday use.
If you want features than the CyanogenMod 7nightlies is stable enough for me to use everyday but it's still a work in progress.

...........

I like Micromod's GingerBread Rom (unfortunately just announced that he will be leaving the building for another device).

The CM nightlies are plenty stable.

Hi guys,
Thanks to all who replied. Seems like a fairly good consensus of opinion, that micromods rom might be s good starting point.
Once I've started (probably with micromods), who knows where it will lead? (Hopefully not to a brick..
)
Just don't want my first ever flash to be something known to be incomplete or unstable.
Ta!

MicroMod's latest version of 2.3 .. and flash redstar's kernel for an awesome battery life.

hi Deekay, are you referring to this redstart kernel: RedStar 925mV Kernel?

Don't worry so much man. As long as you're not flashing an HBOOT, radio, or maybe a recovery, it's very hard to brick a phone. I would recommend trying a leaner, cleaner GB ROM before trying MicroMods, just so you can get a feel for pure GB without all of the extra apps and funky screen transitions. Straight CM7 nightly is what I'd suggest. Check imfloflo's thread.

CM7 GB is more stock than MM AOSP GB? I find CM to be one of the most modded ROMs out there, not that that's a bad thing.

CM7 has a lot of options built in, but so does MM's GB ROM. Both are excellent, but of the two, CM doesn't have any fancy screen transitions and extra apps installed aside from the basics.

Hi all,
Thanks for all the suggestions. Unsure of the "wonkyness" of cm7, I flashed micromods aosp gb rom last night. Did multiple titanium and nandroid backups, bit my lip and went for it.
Superb! Running it now, no regrets so far... all done within about an hour, everything working.
Thanks for all your comments.

Just to make it clear for others as I think there is a little confusion. Micromod777 has released two gingerbread ROM's. His original GB ROM was one of the first good stable builds after the AOSP was released, this finished on v.20 which can be found here:
Gingerbread v.20
He then began working on a new ROM based on Cyanogenmod 7, which is now discontinued as he's a busy man:
MicroMod's Gingerbread CM7 Custom ROM v1.4-FINAL

needed 2.2 custom rom

hi i dont have enough knowledge about custom rom but i just need it because the one which i have on the phone keep on saying update available and i dont want to update it to latest version just wanna stay at 2.2 can anyone provide me a link bcz i dont know which one is 2.2 thanks.

No
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

sorry i dint get you. is there no custom rom available which has 2.2???

By "no" im guessing he meant no..its not that hard bro. if u can write u can read... give a man a fish bla bla bla....
N1

the problem is i have done all the initial steps like unlocked boot loader and rooted after that flashed recovery img now phone has no display so any idea what can be done so i dont go to more than 2.2 thanks

can i flash this one on the nexus one FRF50, Froyo??
LINK

anyone know or can help regarding this please???

If you want to try cyanogenmod, you could install 6.1.1 (based on some form of 2.2.x), I loved it when I was using it (more features and faster than stock), it does looks slightly different from stock 2.2.x though. But I'm not 100% sure what you are asking for in a ROM so please be a little more specific with what you want it to do.
And to the other two dudes who posted, be nice, and don't hate.

As one above me says try cyanogen 6.11
But first you need a proper recovery as it seems you have a slcd device.
Amon Ra 2.2.1 works well on my slcd nexus. Then you can flash whatever you like
Also why dont you try cyanogenmid 7.0? its just awesome blows froyo away, also you might like miui (stable is froyo based. Enough possebilities
To the ppl above: give the guy a break, ok he posted in the wrong section but that doesnt mean you can act like a douche
