Hello there forum.
I have been wondering if someone can help me find a custom ROM for my [GSM] Galaxy nexus that can support both 13500ghz CPU overclocking as well as games such as Modern combat 3 and GTA3. This actually will help me increase the graphics performance and keep my nexus in the right temperature. I have tested Foxhound ROM but it appeared that it doesn't support games.
It is my first thread and I hope everyone will benefit from it . thanks
You're looking for a kernel not a ROM. A ROM doesn't control CPU overclocking.
AOKP + Franco Kernel will do you well though. As Franco Kernel requires 4.0.3.

Hmmm is thats so, thanks for the information. I haven't tried to install a Kernel before but ill check how.

Kernel is responsible for overclocking your CPU, undervolting, etc.
This kernel will ALSO OC your GPU to 384 MHz from 308 MHz (or so) so it should help a lot.

Great,, so now the only 4.0.3 I have is the Foxhound ROM. Should i flash into it and then try and install the Kernal from there?

Just flash it after flashing a ROM. If Foxhound is 4.0.3 then you can try it with that, I personally prefer AOKP but like I said before if Foxhound is 4.0.3 then go for it unless you want to try AOKP.
Good, i will work on it right now. ill hit you when works.

Okay. Sounds good.
unfortunately it did not fix my problem. i am still stuck in Modern combat 3 intro loop. what should i do?
Android version: 4.0.3

Me too.. anyone can help us..
ROM: AOKP Build 28

You might try Morphics Trinity kernel.
http://www.derkernel.com/ics-tuna-exp.html
Try this one, it has an over-clocked GPU as well
TNP138-RD-FUV
This is the Trinity NP kernel with 1382MHz CPU And 512 GPU clock
It might help you out.

Try GLaDOS by ezekeel. it has GPU overclock till 500 mhz and CPU overclock till 1.6 ghz
For changing live overclock and other tweaks get nstools from market or buy glados control.

Just be aware that some devices cannot handle over-clocking past 1.3. The phone will crash and reboot. If you try a kernel with over-clock to 1.6 be sure that you DO NOT check "set on boot". That way if your phone crashes and reboots, it will boot up OK.
In the link above for Trinity kernel there is a 1.6 CPU w/ 512 GPU. If you want to try it.
I have also read that even the devices that can handle the 1.6 without crashing, don't actually run at 1.6 due to thermal throttle. When the CPU reaches 1.6 it over heats and will thermal throttle down within seconds.
Let us know how it turns out.

Anyone else have issues regarding the frame rate on their GNex? I haven't encountered the multitouch issue but I'd like the game to run smoothly. Ironically, an HD texture patch did help a little.
Are you using a kernel that overclocks the GPU to 384 MHz?
No lag for me as well. ROM/kernel in signature.
None whatsoever running stock unrooted with HD textures installed. Smooth as butter

Just note that kernel doesn't work on ARHD because ARHD is on 4.0.2. Kernel supports 4.0.3+
So you'll have to find a ROM thats using 4.0.3 (or modaco with 4.0.3 kernel support), or a kernel with 4.0.2 compatability. 4.0.3 also comes with optimizations that should help.
running ARHD with James Bond kernel 1.35 OC UV, the game run really smooth. patched.
Guys wanted to post an update:
I applied the (only) 4.0.2 kernel (James Bond) OC'd at 1.4, I later decided I didn't need an OC so I used SetCPU to bring it back to 1.2 Ghz, and UV'd as well. The GPU OC made a *huge* difference. Thanks guys.
can anyone point me to a post where i can flash GPU overclock settings? im at stock 308 mhz now (from franokernel milestone 2) but want to test 380 mhz (which can get a 10 - 14% increase in performance). and a flashable image back to 308?
or does anyone know of an app that allows gpu overclocking on our phone?
im on the CDMA vzw gnexus, running AOSP 4.0.4 from birdman on franco's milestone 2
thanks in advance!

But doesn't that automatically overclock it? Without the option to return back?

Francos newer Kernels come in 2 different variants, one with stock GPU and one with GPU oc'ed. Otherwise they are exactly the same. So you can flash the oc'ed one then back to GPU to test them out and whatnot.
To return back you can simply flash franco.Kernel Milestone 2 again.
EDIT: anton2009 beat me to it.
and we're talking about his nightlies, correct? no app options that we know of?

Hi,
You can test this kernel:http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14703-09-apr-glados-v127/ and with the app of the developper's kernel you can overclock your GPU "on the fly",without reflash the kernel.
Available GPU frequencys:307.2Mhz/384Mhz/512Mhz.
And you can do a lot of other things with this kernel/app.
I rooted my Galaxy Nexus two days ago and I got the new Jelly Bean OS, but problem is now my phone's CPU is back to 1.2 GHz and I would like to overclock it back to about 1.4-1.5 GHz. I have an extended battery so overclocking really isn't an issue with me.
Has anyone developed any kernels I can flash onto this new OS phone?

I'm using Franco's kernel, which allows for overclocking up to 1.9Ghz. You'll need to buy his app though I think to be able to set the custom speed (or wait for a ROM that has the feature built-in).

Riiiight... SetCPU ... It's been a while since I've used that one so I forgot about it . Used to use it on my Nexus One though, great app.
However if you're using Franco's kernel, buying his app is a great way to support the dev plus you get easy access to all the possible tweaks you can make with his kernel. Worth every cent !
How can I overclock i'm on CM10 and don't want to lose anything but get 1.8ghz cpu!

CM10 is currently beta so it is not possible until someone takes the kernel and then modifies it to OC. Besides, AOKP and CM9/10 will run faster than overclocked stock ICS. Overclocking IMHO isn't worth much other than bragging rights....best thing is to undervolt and keep smoothness but increase battery life.
Well the thing is on ICS stock I was getting upwards of 5000 now on cm10 I'm getting 4100-4300 (quadrant standard) also my wifi is way slower for some reason not sure to blame cm10 or something with my hardware
Just got 3894 something's wrong!

Ktoonez made a Jelly Bean kernel that supports overclocking and undervolting. I've been using it on TGFY's AOKP ROM and it's been great.

For some reason that kernel isn't playing nicely with CM10. I ran CM10 and KT's JB Rom and both were super fast. Quadrant and Bench scores aren't that reliable. Anything JellyBean is new territory so don't expect it to be as good speed and stability wise as ICS or CM9 yet. I bet in a couple weeks we'll all be over clocking jelly beaners flashing new updates daily!
If your willing to use cm9 faux123 has an excellent kernel for overclocking to 1.8.
The ktoonez kernel is rockin cm10 at 1.809Ghz for me!!

hi i'm looking to overclock my sprint epic 4g cpu up to 1.8ghz and also the gpu to 300mahz and 72hz refresh rate
on either cyanogenmod 7 or 10
what kernel and ROM and CPU/GPU overclocking apps should I use with voltage control and what (safe) voltages should I try for the cpu and gpu ARM and Internal voltages (what build number do I need for cm 7 or 10 (either stable or nightly)
also I noticed that the slide out keyboard shift and function keys don't work on cyanogenmod 10 stable build not sure about a nightly build
I'd like to fix the keyboard too
i'd like to be able to turn the boot logo on and off and possibly change it to a different one and also add a boot up sound to the logo
should I use the franko or samurai or maybe a different kernel ?
what modem should I use for max speed (EL30 FC09 FC19 or Nexus LF2 K2 ?) and compatible rom
I know how to install everything just need advice
If all of the above isn't possible at least I'd like to get the CPU to the highest possible speed past 1.2 ghz if possible most of all and not have random reboots or lockups or sleep of death and woking keyboard and least amount of bugs in the rom
Thank you so much in advance for any advice
Do your shift and Fn keys work if you hold them down when using them? Kind of like the way you would use them on a PC keyboard?

Last thing I know of that had what you're looking for is CM9 with Samurai Kernel. The processor clocks to 1.5 Ghz and I believe the gpu is overclocked to 400Mhz. Idk what the refresh rate for the screen is, but that combo would probably be the closest to what you're looking for

^^^^this... there is no franco kernel here, that's for the epic touch... nobody has been able to overclock this phone past 1.6 Ghz... samurai had 1.6 at one point, but it was removed because there were stability issues with most phones trying to overclock that high... samurai has always been my favorite kernel from tw gb roms all the way to cm9... sadly development stopped when earthbound upgraded and there is no samurai kernel for cm10 or 10.1... everybodies phone is different and handles overclocking differently... best bet is to just keep trying combinations until you find your perfect match...

I have used it on CM9, and got it to 1.4 comfortably, but the kernel itself was quarky as hell. The battery died when unclocked and- just all in all at bad kernel.
im curious on what he did to make it do that though. Was it an app he combined into the kernel? Did he expand something?
Technically- OC"ing is just like any normal OC. INcrease the multiplier or frequency and then manipulate the voltage to handle the work. But- THe couple app i foudn that do that- like uh... setcpu, targek or something all arent supported by our rom/kernel/ something. Its rather frustrating.
With the Packman ROM im using, he combined the Performance control into the rom, and you can actually change the voltages- but.. i cant make it go faster.
TO go on with that- i still cant find a way to OC the GPU. i see people saying they got it up to 400mhz. or something. But- HOW!? an app? Kernel again!? heck, i dont even know what the stock settins are. :/
GPU overclocking is achieved in the kernel.

1. He did it by being a kernel master... 2. they aren't supported because of the kernel you're using. 3. And again, the kernel you're using. The only way to overclock the gpu is with the samurai kernel.
4. And most importantly, for everything you want out of a kernel, it's about time to learn Linux and build your own kernel...

Aww man I miss Samurai's 400MHz GPU OC... But the Voodoo defaults there is VERY terrible... Just why isn't there a kernel with ONLY GPU OC (i.e. no CPU OC up to like 1.4GHz (I think games depend more badly on GPU) and no Voodoo and such)...

If you build it, they will flash it!
Yes, for those looking for an easy way out, it's not going to happen. Learn to make a kernel then learn how to manipulate the settings. If it was easy then everyone would be doing it. No one has any other spoon fed answers.
I think not having an easy way out may be the definition of xda-developers. Forget where I read it but it's about the journey rather than the destination, which I know doesn't hold true for every one but I know it does for me.
