Beta testing of a new kernel that allows over clocking up to 660mhz. I have no time to do a lot of testing. So far MCR rom 3.2 is stable and fast with it. So I am calling for testers. The kernels are using ramzswap.
Download
Note: It will not work on 2.x rom as it is a 2.6.27 kernel.
This is great news. I would try it, but I have a CDMA Hero.
I think this also works for 2.1 ROM; I'm using Vanillain 1.0 and I went from 145 CPU benchmark to 154...
how to apply?
and does setcpu support this setting yet?
thanks for the work
1) Download the SetCPU in the link
2) Drag the SetCPU file into your SD card
3) Open and install using any file manager (I use Astro)
4) Download the setcpu.txt file into your SD card (not into a folder)
5) Open SetCPU and press Menu > Device Selection > Scroll all the way down to "Custom Frequency Config" (last on the list)
6) Then set up the frequency as you desire
is this based on teknologist's kernel? this shall be included in MCR once stable enough.
Is root needed?
Yes you need root for this to work, and just on a side notice using the overclock widget seems to work to.
worked on my hero i guess.. but how stupid m i, i tried edit the txt file and push into my nexus and try the settings... damm.. f*ck, it did not work at all... damm...
doesn't do anything for me according to linpack. Same amount of Mflops/s
edit: and screen went black and never got out of it.... :S
660 MHz ?? Bye bye batery...
Myriad Group is developing a new virtual machine for android that increases 3x the speed of the system running aplications, with the same hardware, and a optimized use of the batery and will allow richer grafics... The name of the project is Dalvik turbo and it will be show on the Mobile World Congress of Barcelona...
You can read it here: www(dot)mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=8684
I hope we can use it to our Hero's ...
Dalvik Turbo looks extremely promising. If 3x performance can actually be achieved, then we have to ask Google... what were you thinking with Dalvik's original design?

BogoMips is not the clock!
It's the efficiency of running a bootonly calibration loop.
This doesn't mean that Lox_Dev work isn't a great thing, though.
so in a nutshell, whith this mod does hero run faster or not?

I don't think so.
Just because your car shows 200mph in the speedometer doesn't mean it can go that fast.

Hello I'm flash that kernel and after reboob i see circle showing droid logo => htc =>droid and that replay again and again some clue ?
After a backup I usually wipe everything out before installing a new rom.
Try this.
EZ-DZ GODSPEED OVERCLOCKING kernel Update ver 03 for the HTC Desire Z
WHAT'S THIS ??
- This is a flashable Update.zip containing the stock HTC Desire Z with HTC Sense Kernel 2.6.32.21-gd2764ed.
- NOTICE this is kernel-specific. This overclocking update won't work if you have a different kernel (T-Mobile firmware, some asian versions, etc). This is intended for the current stock european generic Desire Z, the Bell-NAM Desire Z, and any custom ROM based on this Kernel version.
- It will overclock your phone's CPU to 1017 MHz, 1206 MHz or 1420 MHz Godspeed.
- The stock Kernel has not been modified. Instead of that, the Overclocking module is automatically loaded on boot.
- It also includes embedded root priviledges, disabled security, the latest Busybox (Nov 2010) and Superuser, so your root will stay even if you ever have to factory reset.
- Flashing one of this Kernel Update zips will NOT erase your personal info and configurations; it will not wipe your phone because only the kernel will be updated.
HOW TO FLASH ??
- I assume you are an experienced user, if not, please refer to the "EASY rooting/flashing TUTORIAL and FAQs for dummies" thread, read the FAQ, and them come back.
TIP: Hey, please remember: it's always clever to make a NANDroid backup before flashing anything.
- I have prepared 3 sets: a conservative 1 GHz overclocking update, an intermediate 1.2 GHz option and a more aggressive 1.4 GHz version. Pick your Downlaod from this post's footer, and copy it to your phone's SD card.
- Flash it via ClockworkMod: Open ROM Manager, tap "Install ROM from SD card", scroll to select your EZ Godspeed update zip, tap OK. Phone will reboot with the updated kernel.
TIP: DON'T check "Wipe Data and Cache" unless you wanna delete all your personal info, installed apps and configurations.
- Enjoy your new godspeed EZ overclocked DZ
WANT TO FINE TUNE OR TRY OTHER SPEEDS ??
- I strongly recommend getting SetCPU from the Market. It will let you control your max/min CPU speeds, fine tune, and many advanced options, but be aware SetCPU can't override the max speed specified by the Godspeed kernel update you choose.
- To change the max overclocking speed, You can flash from any Godspeed update to another as many times as you wish, because the only diference between each is the overclocking module autoload script 03gtrabOC, which specifies the oc-dz.ko overclocking module max value (check post 5 if you want to learn how it works or how to make your own update zips).
HOW TO DISABLE / UNINSTALL ??
Do you really wanna go back ?? OK then, manually uninstalling is EZ-DZ too:
1.- Delete the file /system/etc/init.d/03gtrabOC and reboot. The overclocking module won't be auto-loaded anymore; you're back to 806MHz.
2.- Delete /system/lib/modules/oc-dz.ko (the overclocking module). This is optional since the module won't be loaded without the script.
Everything else in this Update zips is stock (the Kernel, radio module bcm4329.ko, etc) except for a couple of ramdisk optimizations (embedded root and enabled busybox run parts capabilities) and the latest Busybox and Superuser apps (which you already had).
OR you can simply restore your NANDroid backup and forget you ever flashed this OC thing.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
THANKS to tkirton (update script guru and patient teacher), coolbho3000 (original overclocking module for the HTC Vision), stridger (recompiled module for the Desire Z), dsixda (learned a lot by reading the scripts from his kitchen) and many others.
If I owe acknowledgements please let me know and I will update this post.

Good work
Awesome work!
Is there a way to set speed at 1Ghz? I am using SetCPU. Slider gives me only 245, 368, 768 and 1420MHz speed. Any ideas?
Oh! And is there easy way defuse this nice kernel? Root and S-Off I already had.
Still waiting for this f$*kin' phone in France, need it !
In setCPU, impossible to set speed at stock Mhz ? (806Mhz, correct ?)
As always, feel free to modify/edit/tweak/improve etc anything I share
How are the max frequencies/clockspeeds set ??
The overclocking script file /system/etc/init.d/03gtrabOC loads the overclocking module oc-dz.ko at boot, and sets its max speed.
The last line in the script sets the maximum overclocking value:
The only change between all versions is the final number at "pll2_l_val=x" (the MHz value multiplier is 19.2). Examples:
For stock 806.4 MHz
pll2_l_val=42
For 1017.6 MHz
pll2_l_val=53
For 1209 Mhz
pll2_l_val=63
For 1420 Mhz
pll2_l_val=74
How to delete the script 03gtrabOC to stop auto-loading the overclocking module ??
Using ADB commands from a PC:
adb remount (remounts r/w for that session if phone has unsecured kernel, like this one)
adb shell rm /system/etc/init.d/03gtrabOC
How is the overclocking module auto-loaded ??
The stock boot.img was unpacked, and inside ramdisk, bootcomplete.rc was edited to include a line which enables Busybox run parts at boot, then, with Notepad++ a line was added to the updater-script of the Update zip which gives running atributes to any script dropped into /system/etc/init.d. There's where the module-loading script 03gtrabOC was placed.
Was else was included or modified ??
- The overclocking module compiled by stridger was added to /system/lib/modules/
- Superuser APK was added to /system/app/ just in case it's missing or wrong.
- Su and the latest version of Busybox were added to /system/xbin/
- A full set of Busybox symlinks was added to the Update zip updater-script with Notepad++
- Inside the boot.img's ramdisk, defaul.prop was edited to ro.secure=0 (unsecured Kernel, "root")
- The Kernel itself was not touched, to avoid conflicts / problems (anyway the source is still not available).
How were these Update zips packed and signed ??
Using Daneshm90's Update zip tool.
How was the boot.img unpacked and repacked ??
Using scripts from dsixda's kitchen on Cygwin, a Unix emulator for Windows.
Thanks AGAIN mate. Is 1.4 GHz safe choice for everyday usage?
I'll try play with values, I just want that 1GHz too.
EDIT: And I want that 1.4 GHz value too. lol
03gtrabOC has only one value, is that some kind divider? I am sorry but I can not figure those tables out.
This works great. I assume that this now sticks between reboots?

yes of course you need root and S-OFF to flahs this or anything non-official
check the easy tutorial FAQ linked on the post, you'll become a flashing master in 8 minutes
Is 1.4GHz the fastest we can go on the Z / without a custom kernel?
Seeing as the G2 can go up to 1.9GHz.

I'm on 1.4Ghz, that's enough for me, but other users dare to go up and up. Check the other overclocking threads in this forum to see what other users are reporting.
This update zip won't change the voltage, just the speed, so we will have to find out

Come Christmas (well, a couple days after) my Z shall be pimped. -ish.
And I'll try an overclock of epic proportions. For five minutes, or until I crap myself. Which ever is first
this works well! Tnx man! finaly a way to overclock that stays after reboot!
all nice and stable @ 1.42GHZ
Great work! Might be a good idea to add a file with stock kernel and bcm4329.ko for the people who already flashed with a oc kernel.

Just delete system/etc/init.d/03gtrabOC and you are back to stock
It stangely doesn't work for me.
I already have root and s-off. But when I apply the update my DZ freezes on boot-up.
I'm doing a nandroid recovery now. Hope it wil boot-up again.

1.- Maybe you have a different ROM, o this is not "stock" for you
2.- Maybe yoou have a corrupt download. Did you check the MD5 checksums ??
First is an O/C kernel that I built from the HTC source. This kernel is stable and with the right profiles setup in setCPU has given me very good battery life. I'm giving coolbho3000 credit here as his post in the G2 forums is what helped me to do this. I am also acknowledging gr8gorilla who helped me several times through this process. Second is a kernel built from the latest CM kernel zource from zinx. It has proven to be very stable (after tweaking the voltages).
Now for the boring part ... If you choose to flash this you do it at your own risk. I am in no way, shape, or form responsible if you flash this and your phone turns into a paperweight. Once again, flash this at your own risk.
There, now that that is out of the way we can get on to the good stuff.
Make sure you choose the right kernel. The stock kernel will break your CM install if you flash it.

These kernels have no issue with video. If you are having trouble with youtube and such update your GB rom to one of the newest. There was a memory leak in the source for the rom itself that zinx has fixed. Thirty to Forty-Five minutes of straight youtube action and I had no problem at all.

I have packaged this into an update.zip format that you can flash through your custom recovery. Simply choose to install a zip from the sdcard and pick the update package to install it. It will install the wifi driver at the same time so you don't need to worry about that. Everything works with this kernel so far for me if you have any problems please post them and I'll see what I can do to fix them.
Remember that you hardware is not the same as your neighbor's so while he may be able to max the settings out and run stable your device may need to be set to a lower clock speed to run stable.
Source code for both kernels has been added to github. If you want to play around with them download source from here: https://github.com/grankin01
Happy Modding/Devving!
wow, thank you sir
I was just about to start testing kernels with Zinx's CM6 anyway. Looks like yours is first.
hmmm... could not run update.zip through clockworkmod. I was looking to extract the files and push them manually, however, I don't see a zImage file to push.
No luck with the miui rom. Cant get past the splash screen.

Not yet. It will work with the rom that you have installed right now though.
hey guys. im a noob to android. every other phone i have had has been winmo. i wanted to try this oc kernel because it seems easier to install than the gorilla one. however i ran into a problem when installing. i have a stock rom 2.2.1, perm rooted s=off, using clockwork recovery. i backed up my rom and flashed via rom manager. it then began to send me into a boot loop never getting past the first screen. just kept turning off and rebooting. soooooo i rebooted directly into clockwork and tried to do it from there and the same thing happened. so i restored my recovery and now everything is back to normal. can anyone point me in the right direction? i did notice that in clockwork it gave me two options to flash the kernel or to flash an update from the sd card. should i have flashed the update zip instead of the kernel or flash both.. sorry im a partial noob. i know how to use adb a lil and the emulator, this is the first thing i flashed on my phone and nearly had a heart attack from thinking i was bricked! any help is appreciated
Do you already have setCPU installed? Not everyone's phone will be able to reach the maximum speed without bootlooping or locking up. Just the nature of the beast. Try setting your speed down in setCPU (if you already have it installed) and turn set at boot off and then flashing and rebooting. Then you can test the speeds one by one to know what is working for you.
Edit: New kernel for CM and MIUI is nearly ready. 1.8Ghz with over 3200 on quadrant!!!

Yes, and O/V's in the higher frequecies for stability. This one was picky.

Is this a UV / OC kernel? Thanks for the help.

Only in the lower frequencies. The higher frequencies weren't stable running lower voltages.
Thanks OP. When you say the lower ranges, at which MHz did you not UV? Just curious. I am thinking of not OC'ing more than 1.4MHz and didnt know if I would get the UV benefit.
*EDIT* Meant GHz
********** This is DamianGTO Steam kernel **********
This is the only working steam kernel for froyo 2.2.1.
With this you get a recovery that has touchscreen and all tool you need for your phone.
You also get a good kernel thats fast and very close to stock kernel.
I also made this tool(Damian tweak) to make things a bit easier.
There is a Steam Rom also now. I made it to make it easier for all.
I also have a new kernel that has a simpler recovery, but all script is working.
So look at the DamianGTO Ultimate kernel.
This is what you get with this kernel:
- Full (multi-)touchscreen interface in the recovery.
- Ext2, Ext4, Jfs and rfs file system auto-detection support
- On-line help system
- A primitive File Manager
- An even more primitive console
- Crypto
- Configure options for Steam Kernel
- Afterburner post-flash utility
- 32 bit display support
- Backup/Restore
- Root (installs busybox 1.18.1 and superuser)
- Almost everything CWM had (supports both sdcards, even for usb storage mode, efs backup support, etc.)
- Afterburner
- Theme support with afterburner
- 350MB RAM
- Optimized kernel tweaks
- Alter minfree strict settings
- Deadline schedueler (Optimized)
- Tiny RCU( less memory footprint)
- lowmemorykiller patch
- Support for bootanimation.zip
- Made from froyo 2.2.1 source code.
- Initramfs from JS3 kernel
- No logging after booting the phone.
- Voodoo sound V4
This is a Beta version and it is not 100% stable.
Have always a backup before you use it and when you use it, so you don't loose your data if something unexpected happens.
ROOT:
If you want root you need to install busybox and superuser.
You also must convert your System to Ext2, Ext4 or Jfs.
Lagfix:
You can convert all partition you want to Ext2, Ext4 or Jfs.
I do use EXT2 only right now and its working very good.
Jfs has a bug if you use it on system. you loose all your sound.
This works best for me and its fast, but its up to you what you want to use.
Don't use Ext4 on the Cache if you need all 30MB for downloading from market.
Ext4 will take 4MB for its journal.
Bootanimation:
Put your bootanimation.zip in /data/local folder and it will use that next time the phone boot up.
You must also change it in recovery to use Android boot animation.
If you don't the boot animination will not work and the phone will be black until it has started up.
Theme:
You must change the script in the theme.zip file.
Look in the afterburner section how the script shall be.
You only need to change the updater-script to update-script and make the change thats needed.
I have put in Ext4 and Jfs support in the kernel. People ask to much about it and I dont think its fair for me not to use it when this is the only steam kernel on froyo 2.2.1 that works.
I still think ext2 is a better system for the phone and use it on the Data partition without any problem.
I also used Tiny RCU( less memory footprint) and lowmemorykiller patch to make the kernel a bit better.
**Update **
New kernel again (1k).
This time I did move it to 600HZ and optimized the cpu use.
It should be faster and smother then 1J, but not has as much battery drain then Speed_kernel.
I hope this is right settings and it will not drain more battery then stock.
You dont need afterburner to install themes.
But you still need to change the script to an update-script.
Then you can use the zip option in the recovery.
Afterburner:
Download the theme you want.
Download afterburner.zip( attached last in this post).
Open the zip file and put your theme zip in the catch folder and remove the other file.
Edit the afterburner.conf.
Change the TEST with the name of your theme and what your theme zip file is named.
---[ID:theme
---[NAME:Install TEST Theme
---[HELP:This will install TEST to your phone. Beware! You can only switch back to a previous theme if you have them in a afterburner file.
extract theme
install_package CACHE:TEST.zip
If your theme has updater-script and update-binary then they don't work.
To make them work you need to use update-script and remove both of the files.
In this new file you write where you want the file to be copied.
If you don't know how this script file works then ask and you will get help.
You can also put as many them zip file in the afterburner file you want.
Just copy all folders and rename the Theme folder to a different name and copy the text in afterburner.conf. and write the new folder name in the text you just put in. If you don't know how then ask and i will help you.
I will put some theme up thats already fixed later on.
If you have a theme that you want med to fix just give me a pm.
So try this Steam kernel and tell what you think. If you find any bug then tell me also.

Way to go.
i can use this with jpy 2.2.1?
I am going to test this!
Edit:
I flashed with a stock JP7 and then Damian's Steam Kernel afterwards.
Everything is working flawless, no problems at all even after two hours extensive using.
Quadrant shows a 1213 which is normal on JP7.
Later I am going to try with Lagfix enabled and other ROMs.
I like the Steam recovery, somehow strange, but kewl and modern ;-)
Kernel seems to be more responsive than the stock kernel!
ok, I flashed my fon with Nitr8's insanity 0.3.2 based on Android 2.2.1.
After that (without even booting it) I flashed with Damian's Steam Kernel.
Everything went flashless, Systems comes up fast - BUT:
The Baseband is NOT recognized from the Steam Kernel. There we still ned to fix, but everything else is working well.
Responsiveness is very good. I am very happy with it so far as it is looking promising.
Using the Quadrant Score gives me just 1180. This is really not enough.
Nevertheless it feels very responsive and smooth ??
Feelig (especially in Recovery Mode and other things like that) very dodgy and often throwing errors out on console makes me not worrying as it is still alpha.
Why is this kernel using 300Hz ? next I need to try some optimizations though.
Edit:
after 2 reboots suddenly the baseband is correctly recognized ??
so I can confirm now it works sufficent to be tested on JPY 2.2.1
Seems to work okey.
This kernel base is the same that the latest z4mod kernel I did.
So they should work the same after you booted up the phone.
The steam recovery is fun, but its need more work to be safe.
**Damiangto steam kernel, 346MB, 300HZ **
*** UPDATE **
I have fixed the root issues.
It should work, but if you get any problem just tell me
I did update the kernel file on the first post.
So download it if you use the first kernel.

The kernel is stable, but the recovery is still alpha and i must test that more and hope for an update if the steam engine.
But if you have a place for kernels thats not stable then you can use it.
I know many want a steam kernel and im suppriced that none have done any yet on jpx source that works.

Okay Damian.. Just jumped in with both feet into this Kernel..
Looks nice.. I will continue testing over the weekend,,
Well until I reflash, but the install was super easy, and it installed with no problems.. Looks nice and easy to use..
So far so good.
Installed this kernel under Darky's latest 8.0 ROM. Working fine so far!
I'm going to do some testing with all the settings today, keep you all informed.
This is my first post in this forum and I hope this works as well for you as it has for me.
First and foremost: I am not a developer; just an advanced user that has spent many many many hours in these forums and has used the tools I have found to make my deice the best it can possibly be. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE BY USING THE SCRIPTS PROVIDED. I did not create these scripts and for the life of me cannot remember which forum or developer(s) I got them from; I am sorry that I cannot give the proper credit.
I have been using this DATA2SD method for about a month with several different ROMs and have found it to be very fast and very stable (only one crash in 2 weeks using Hyperdroid 2.1, not sure what caused it).
I am currently using the latest Hyperdroid CM7 (big Thanx to Pongster for a fantastic build!), albeit a version cooked using dsixda's kitchen to include my favorite apps and a few other changes. I have also used these scripts with the AOSP MIUI 1.6.24 and up ROMs (my NAND configuration has not changed between the two [MIUI and CM7], not sure if the large cache size helps or not). I have only used this process successfully with these two builds and cannot attest to the compatibility or stability if used with any other firmware.
I am using a 200MB system partition with 45mb for cache with Clockwork Recovery 4 (partitioned and updated using the HD2 toolkit). My SD card is using EXT3 set at 1024MB. Once again, this is the only configuration I have used successfully.
**BUG**
The only bug I have noticed so far is that whenever the device is rebooted CM7's Theme Manager reverts to the default (system) theme.
Instructions are included in the download. The scores shown were attained running Hyperdroid CM7 with the governor set to performance at 1152mhz (the highest stable overclock speed for my device using an 2.3.4 based ROM). The scores are provided by Quadrant Advanced (of course) and Device Mark.
nice but why is it only for tmous ?

It should work as well as it works on the tmous version because it doesn't use that much place that requires a tmous. You can't to anything wrong
If u try it I would say please report back so that the dev know if it works there too

I included instructions with the download; these are scripts that are flashable visa clockwork recovery and should work with your device. Compatibility issues usually come into to play with the ROM that is used; it must support scripts (I think the proper term is init.d scripts). Usually Rom s that already have Apps2sd support this but i have only used this process successfully ( stable) with the AOSP MIUI and Hyperdroid ROMs

or is another approach?
I don't believe so; i believe the process outlined in that post (i could be wrong) uses a data image similar to the one Rafpigna uses in Rafdroid or in Acura MIUI which is stored on the root of the sd card. This script uses ext 3 for the storage. I could be wrong, this is my first time seeing that post.

I am running Hyperdroid cm7 2.1 at 1152MHz ( the highest stake clock speed for my device). Have you tried setting the governor to performance in cyanogenmod settings? Chainfire 3d lets you update the driver of the device but this program is meant to make the rendering of complex 3d graphics easier for older devices (at least that's my understanding). I am using this program but I did not apply the effects to quadrant ( or any other app). The high scores database read/ write speed.

yes when i play games or do some bench, i set performance and min and max at 1190mhz it's possible to go higher than 1190mhz with tytung r10? (limit is written on the kernel or somewhere in system params?)
i tryed to install chainfire drivers but i still got black screen on 3d tests

Looks like a nice script! Questions:
1) Is it necessary to use the same partition sizes as you for it to work?
2) Once Data2SD is implemented, can you restore data partition to SD using advanced restore in CWM?
So does this script really make the rom faster and more stable than it already is? Like for example dorimaxes rom?

Thank you...
1) The short answer is; I don't know. I have used this partition setup with several ROMs and just decided to try it with the scripts. I am using this ad my daily driver and have been for about a month with only one crash, so Idon't want to start experimenting with the setup just incase ( Hyperdroid is a very stable Rom to begin with).
2) The script itself is not apart of the backup so you would have to follow the installation procedure after the restore.
