Thanks! i didn't know it was that easy...

what do i have to do with minimum cpu frequency? just keep it like its automatically set-up? and would it damage my phone if i do the maximum cpu to 768?

[Q] SetCPU

My SetCPU has only about 3-4 different frequency options between 806Mhz and 245 MHz. Is there any way to increase the number of options between these two frequencies?

U have to root your phone and flash some ROMs depending on which type of rom do you like, it comes with kernels for overclocking or you can flash one if you want to. Rooted stock rom doesn't have any compatible kernels it breaks some stuff so you really need to use a different rom..

Well if he's using SetCPU then he's already rooted, so he's got that covered.
OP as jojo stated, you need a custom kernel to allow overclocking. A lot of people seem to be fond of Pershoot's OC kernels, but I personally just use the one thats included with CM6 and now CM7. It allows an overclock up to 1.5ghz.

I think he's wanting to know how to add more underclock frequencies. It can be done but you have to decompile the kernel in order to do it and also have decent knowledge of voltage tables (since the purpose of underclocking is to save battery power you have to uv also). Probably well beyond most peoples comfort level however, if the op still wants to attempt it are numerous threads with info - just search for something like 'creating a custom kernel' or 'make a kernal'. One of them is located in the G2 development forum.
Oh ok thanks guys. Yeah, I have Pershoot's kernel so that is not a problem. I was trying to include more underclock frequencies, but if that means editing or creating my own kernel then forget it lol, I'm no expert on that.

There's a turbo ROM that can deep fry your G2 to 1.8ghz, and it has a lot more frequencies below 806.

installing incredikernel on cm7?

Hi guys i just installed cm7 on my incredible and i was wondering if im allowing to install incredikernal?
also im wondering how to wipe battery stats and when to do it
thanks
I've used other kernels with CM before and it works fine--if that's what your getting at...
As for battery stats, you should be able to do that from recovery. With clockwork mod, its under the 'advanced' menu.

If you are talking about this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848453
Yes that is made for GB roms like CM7. As for wiping battery stats, the debate is out as to whether or not that really does much. I have never noticed anything extra from doing it, but thats my experience with it, your experience could be different.

i installed the incredikernal but chris says to have min cpu set at 128 so i did and i have set on boot checked.. is this right?
bump am i suppose to make cpu min at 128? i haven't touched max cpu and i wont

Yeah its good to put min at 128, helps the screen off profile and with battery life. The max you can make whatever you want, but once you go higher than 1.113GHz then you start going into unstable territory IMO.

also i updated to cm7 #8 using rom manager and downloading it off my browser now the thing is i was wondering if it removed the previous version?

of the kernel? It probably did, go to settings > about phone > kernel version. It will say there the kernel that it is using.

Just note that a few users have reported issues with the 128 setting. I haven't experienced any problems getting text messages or missed calls and I'm using this kernel with the 128 setting but just keep it in mind if for some reason you find yourself missing texts and/or calls.

gingerbread overclock kernel over 1,2 ghz?!

Hi since i am using my desire iam asking myself if there is a kernel to overclock the device more than the usual max. of 1,2 ghz which are given in the most roms and propably kernels....
In the past i hat an acer liquid which actually uses the same cpu but some sort of broken or not well done ones so itonly runs at 700 mhz but mine was actually able to up to 1,1 ghz so i think there must be at least some desire which are able to go higher than 1,2 ghz, but until now did not found a 2.3 rom or kernel which enables this.
Any one arround here who knows how to modifie a kernel to enable more frequencies?
The best I've seen so far is 1113 Mhz...but of course different Desires have different capacities. I can cook up a kernel for you with 1.2 Ghz, but you have it from me that it will simply reboot immediately!
I did some experiments with overclocking, and round about 1113 MHz was the maximum stable frequency, above my device got serious instability / freezes.
mine is running stable at 1190 mhz now but want to test where its stable but cant find a kernel for sense 3.5 which supports higher frequencies...
but as you said before every cpu is differnt maybe it can go higher

Does it just enable the freq or it actually is stable at that freq? If the latter, then I do need to have a look at the source!

Err I'm not 100% sure that THAT was the actual frequency, but it was the 2nd highest setting (highest setting rebooted) and it was fairly stable. Check it out with setcpu
Try this:

Try to take it to 1.26 Ghz

Are you able to add usb menu for sense 3.5 roms? Maybe also in your last stable kernel? Would be very great.

Are you able to get this fix? Maybe in Gingercakes github. In his kernel it is working, too.
Sorry I have no experience in Linux and kernel developing so I don't know where I can find this fix to send you a link to implement it.

Hi Droidzone,
so here it is:
USB Mount Fix
Are you able to implement this fix in your overclocked and last stable GB kernel as well?
Many thanks.
I'll see what I can do.
Ok, it's done. Remember to share the link to webpage rather than reuploading the kernels, if you want to share them..

Yes of course. While sharing I will post the link to your webpage.

No problem. You did your part too. I was indeed aware of the github, but I just wanted to gauge your level of interest..

I was very interested in your kernel as per some user reports. So lets have a look how smooth it feels with the rom I am using
Thanks again
Hi,
Would this kernel work with roms like cm7 or oxygen? I currently use eviolett's manu 2.1 at 1190Mhz without any issues and would like to see if my phone perform stably at a higher speed.

[Q] Kernel for Revolution HD 14.1

I know there might already be an answer to my question but if been searching for 2 hrs and can't find it.
Can anyone point me to a Kernel which can be used with the ROM in the title?

you can use only the stock one, cause the JB kernel's source code hasn't been released yet....

I have found what was wrong, it was the battery saver app under-clocking the CPU .
Just some info in case anyone else has/had the same question

HTC's ****
i actually find the power saving feature more power consuming(aside from brightness and vibration), i think it causes all processors to start up at lower frequency rather than 1 cpu at high frequency.

Yes I did notice that too, in fact I'm not using it anymore, I just do everything manually instead.
I've got another question about this rom, is it normal that the wallpaper isn't scrolling when I scroll through the home screens?

[Q] Issues on my galaxy nexus.

Well i'm having issues with this phone. it's getting hot when browsing and even facebook, like 60+ Degrees. Games get even hotter. but it's getting real cold quickly. And getting hot means Drains battery real quick. i get -10% of battery by playing a game for like, 5-10 mins.
is this an issue on 4.2.2? Because i haven't got this issue since i got into 4.2.2
i'm currently on Paranoid android 3.50 and fancy kernel r24. no extra settings.
Baseband is UGLL1 if that's necessary.
This is my first thread btw. i'm sorry if there's some mistakes or something if there's another info you need tell me .

Lol, your phone might not be able to handle -85 voltage of MPU, try to be on the safe side to avoid restarts start with low values like -25
