Overclock stock G2 - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, quick question. I went back to my stock ROM from Unity, this thing is slow now... Lol. Is there am overclock kernel that won't screw up everything? I had amazing larry before and it knocked out my camera, and video player. I am rooted. Thanks in advance!

check out virtuous glite. Its stock with an oc kernel. I'm pretty sure all the kernels in dev don't work perfect with stock rom, wifi gps problems etc... I'm really happy with it, really snappy

Rooting newbie.

Hi, I just rooted my g2 with visionary. How tried the 1ghz overclock gscript thingy and just madr my phone slower than before with quadcom benchmark scores the lower than stock unrooted. Then I came across someone saying using that method is like a rough hack and something abouy voltage, and suggested to use pershooter's kernal as it correctly changes the batterys voltage saving more battery and overclocking even higher. What is kernal? And can I use with stock froyo ?

For ease of understanding, the kernel is the underlinging OS (think MS-DOS for Windows, Windows runs on top of DOS). And yes, you're correct. Pershoots kernel does under-volt and isn't available for stock Froyo but do a search for Baconbits and use that.
If you haven't toyed around with flashing things, I suggest using ROM Manager (by ClockworkMod) which is available in the Market; additionally, try SetCPU instead of the gscript; it might be easier for you to manage.

Read the Wiki and read the forums if you don't want to be clueless.
If you like the stock ROM, then stay with it; if you want more control, then flash a new ROM. If you want to overclock in stock, flash Baconbits v3; if you want to overclock (with undervolt), you'll need to flash CM and pershoots kernel.
Like I said, read the Wiki and the forums; for ease of use, download ROM Manager (can flash CM, pershoot and Baconbits there easily), and download SetCPU (probably easier for you than a gscript).
Really though, unless you're wanting to take chances and learn as you go, just stay stock; but since you've already opted to root, take a gander at the threads and Wiki and see if anything interests you; if not, there was no need for you to root.

Get your phone back to full non-rooted stock and reroot using Rage.

If you want to try out Sense, head over to the Virtuous thread. I highly recommend that. If you want stock then try cm6. Considering cm7 is in early development, you might want to stray away. And there are tons of themes you can flash on top to make it your own.

How do you have yours set up? I have CM7 with Savaged Zen and it runs faster than any other ROM/kernel combo I've tried.
Im not running setcpu so its not overclocked or underclocked

Im not saying its slow im more looking for better signal and a sense like feel from an aosp

Good luck with that kind of find...
If you're looking for a sense-like feel, why not just go with a sense ROM? I personally use Synergy ROM and everything works super fast, no issues, and service seems to be better than when I had CM7 on it. That and sense ROMs also make full use of the phone's hardware, such as the camera...
The support and extras are a pretty sweet deal, as well.

Signal strength is not universal. You can have the same signal strength on your phone but it will display as a different number of bars based purely on your ROM. CM seems to be one of those ROMs where I have a really good signal yet I'm only showing about 2 or 3 bars. Its just the way the ROM displays it. Flashing another ROM and getting more bars doesnt mean your signal strength is any stronger or weaker at all.
Also, if you're looking for a sense feel then just get a sense ROM. There are a lot out there to choose from. I'm actually thinking of running Boot Manager on my phone and flashing a sense ROM alongside CM7 so that I can make use of the abilities of the sense ROMs when I need to.
I switch between Fresh 4.22 and CM7 pretty regularly and love battery life/performance of both. I use Tiamats 4.1 SBC on CM7 and the stock kernel on Fresh, although it would be choice if there were a Sense SBC kernel.

Any chance u got the link for that frsh 4.22?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I keep coming back to Mik's roms. On MikG now and love it. Battery life is great too but then I use all the app tricks I can find. App2SD / DroidWall / SetCPU / StartUp Auditor. If your signal strength is bad just call Sprint and ask for an Airvanna. Once it's hooked up you should be up to 4/5 bars constantly. That's been my experience.
Have you tried team nocturnals merge Rom its sense based with an soap feel its pretty nice if you are trying to have your cake and eat it too

need help to choose a rom, PLEASE

hi i am giving my older sister my beloved EVO and need help deciding what rom i should install for her. She isnt a tech person. battery life is very important. it needs to have bloat ware removed. also a stable rom is a must as she lives a few states over and i wont be able to reflash and all that good stuff for her. thanks

After my ROM hoping days, I've stuck with the Energy ROM. It works quite nice for me, plus it looks really good.
No one said Miui....I'm shocked.
It looks like the iphone, works great, you can throw savage zen on it, and it auto updates itself.
But to each their own.
Swagged Out Rom (Sense) is pretty stable and fast.

Can't beat MYN's Warm 2.2 RLS 5

Galaxy s2

I just got mine and was wondering is it worth rooting becausr stock is already fast and stable
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It's always worth rooting.
Right now, the performance increase isn't the biggest reason, because this phone can handle anything we through at it with ease.
The root_only features, however, definitely are.
Backups, tethering, painless restores, themes, ad hoc wifi, and all the other goodies that custom Roms provide really make a big difference.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
You really should check out the juggernaut rom and also faux123 kernal. I can't express how much faster the sg2 runs and no stuttering or lag. The phone also has much better battery life it's really amazing. Also no spying carrier iq, no bloatware etc. you can free wifi tether. You can over clock or under clock. My phone has never worked so good.
Definitely recommend the following:
Load cwm recovery
Install latest juggernaut rom 4.1
Install latest faux123 kernal
Not required but also install latest modem kl1
If you do then install swype beta keyboard
I use go launcher highly recommended.

DOOOOOOOOOO it!!!! You'll love your phone twice as much. There are some awesome themes and roms. You can make it even smoother than it is. Go to dev section after and try gingersnap with either kernel. Smooth as butter

That's a tough question mate. There really is no best. Its a matter of figuring out what you want and what roms do that the best. I recommend trying them all. Personally I'm a cyanogenmod fanboi and I try to run it on pretty much everything I own.
Sent from my Hercules with xda Premium.
main reason u should root and install a custom rom is BATTERY LIFE! lol u more than double your battery life, get all the bloat out of your phone, CIQ etc, plus you do get a performance increase, and its more stable than stock.. hands down best thing you could ever do to your phone.

[Q] Kernel recomendations

Just got my i747 from AT&T. It is rooted and I am running the stock rom.
Which kernels work with the stock rom?
Is there a battery icon that will work with the stock rom?
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
Well I've been running KTooz Kernel........works well but on day 2, I can't say I've experienced better battery stats........
Not YET..........I'm hopeful. I used teh app it comes with and dropped the CPU to 1050, and dropped each of hte voltages
by 120mv..........we'll see.
