Hello.
My nexus is running 4.0.4
All I have done is rooted and changed it to Yakjuu so I get updates from google.
Now I need to overclock it. What's the most easy way to do this ?
I really would like to avoid tinkering with it too much please. I also don't want to wipe my data.
Thanks.
You need to flash a kernel that allows overclocking...
And an app to do it with.
Or create an init.d script to adjust the values.
Could I just install the franco kernel updater from the app store ?
EDIT: Guess I can !!
It's running butter smooth on franco. OC worked.

I am a noob. Can someone give me a list of roms that can do overclocking. I find that some roms allow me to overclock and and some do not. It would also be appreciated if someone could post a guide or what app they use to overclock. A quick explanation on how to overclock would help a lot.
Thanks for whatever part you can help me with!
It's not the Rom itself that allows you to overclock, It's the kernel. Just flash an overclock kernel on top of any Rom you like and you're good to go. Make sure you research compatibility first.
Once you flash an oc kernel just use setcpu from the market.

The overclock kernel thread can be found here
Like Phateless said make sure the kernel is compatible and download SetCPU from the market.
To add to that - if you're using Cyanogen 6.1 then you don't need to flash a kernel. It's built into the rom, just get SetCPU from the market (or here) to adjust your max clock (don't set profiles if you use the interactive governor).
Hi. I have a S-Off, perm rooted T-Mobile G2 and would like to use this method to overclock my phone:http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/14/ho...ted-s-off-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-or-t-mobile-g2/
Q1: Is it recommended?
Q2: It requires me to use a custom ROM, which I do not want to. Is there an "original" rom that has ADB Remounting which I can use instead?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not able to view the method you've posted from where I'm at right now, but I can tell you that the most stable, "permanent" overclocking experience I ever found when on stock rom is CM's BaconBits (which includes an overclocking kernel among other things) used in conjunction with SetCPU.
you will need Clockworkmod recovery installed on your phone to flash the baconbits zip. I'm guessing you already have this - if not, you just need to install Rom Manager and you will be able to flash cwm recovery through the app.
from there, all you need to do is install setCPU (it's free here on XDA - just search for it) and use it to set your clock speeds.
easy as pie method for overclocking on stock rom.. and my guess is that it will be more stable than anything you get from theunlockr - it seems to me most of their tutorials are a bit outdated for the vision.
Download ROM Manager and use it to download Pershoot's kernel.

you can try pershoot's as well, but I will say that it did not play nice with my G2's stock froyo rom. this was a few months ago though so maybe there has been a remedy and it's working swimmingly now.
if you get pershoot's kernel to work, I would recommend it over baconbits as pershoot is constantly updating and improving it.
Just to clarify.... You need to change your kernel to overclock not your rom. A lot of roms include an overclocked kernel but that doesnt mean you cant flash a kernel with your stock rom. Make sure you set up a heat profile with setcpu so you dont fry your phone.

Thanks guys for all your help.
I went with a more simple solution, and flashed CM7.
Now it looks as nice as the original and has 1.5GHz overclock.
Do I need to set heat profiles for CM7 or the stable release will take care of it?
I am rooted and using calkulin 2.0.1 with rogue rom. I want to be able to over clock to 1.6ghz what am i not doing, do I need a different kernel, will a different kernel work with this rom! please help me. please give me the steps to take, Im a newby.
You can use tegrak while on a "stock" kernel to OC, but it won't get you to 1.6. Try this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341564
Its the overclockable version of what your on(don't think its Ek02 but it'll still run great). I'd suggest not going over the 1.5 increment until you have a good feel that things are stable though. If you decide to flash the OC supported kernel you can use a few programs to do so(setcpu, Rom toolbox etc)

thanx man, I just downloaded it and place it on my sdcard, what should i do when i go into clockwork mod to install it, what steps to take.
Why do you need to overclock? What can't your phone do at 1.2 that you think it will do at 1.6? That is, besides completely meaningless benchmarks...
Hi guys,
It's been so long since I have flashed a new kernal, is it better to flash them before or after you flash a rom?
are there any recommendations you fine XDA members have for kernals if I want to use it with the latest AOKP
Thanks for the help!
Since most roms come with their own kernel, I flash the Rom first, then whichever kernel I plan on using.

boot into recovery.
wipe wipe wipe
flash rom
flash gapps is needed
if want, flash desired kernel
reboot.
wait for all apps to sync,
if needed, reboot into recovery and flash a theme.

Kernel is always after the rom.
Rom's install a kernel themselves that will completely overwrite any kernel you had set.
I use LeanKernel. And stick to the stable versions.
But that's my preference. You'll have to flash a few to decide.
Kernel testing itself is a bit of a bore. You need to test each kernel for at least a full battery cycle to see how it responds for you.
Also keep in mind that you can tweak kernel settings like color control, sound control, undervolting, clock speeds, and cpu governors if you want more customization.
After the rom ... roms contain kernels so it overwrites any kernel installed already ...
Don't forget to wipe your Davlik Cache before flashing your kernel
Please Suggest a good order
custom Rom
Super Su
Gapps
custom kernel
or whichever order is good after ROM..?!!

GREETINGZ JUBA
Would just like 4 u 2 know that I most sincerely appreciate the knowledge that u put down in ur post, I found it 2 be most insightful & madly helpful. Now, as for that kernel tweaking u mentioned, wut is the tweaking process?, & where is the kernel located?, & lastly, how would I navigate 2 it'z location? Thx a mill in advance my lady peace. P.S. Luv the name.
help me guys.. I dont know what to do now with my r800i fw 4.0.2.A.0.42.
I bought it yesterday and i rooted it already with unlockroot.exe.. I dont know what to do next..
First of all, what do you want?
Change the kernel, rom?
uhhm.. I want all the best possible customization that is perfect for my phone.. i want to have custom rom that contains all tweaks like overclocked, removed unneeded build-in apps where seen packed in stock roms, Sony Mobile Bravia Engine, Clear Audio, amazing UI, etc..
I dont have any idea about that kernel and CMW thing, and what it can do in phone...
In order to do the best customization, first of all you need to unlock the phone bootloader to change the kernel, this will make you able to do things like overclock. Then, search in Xperia Play Development forum a rom that has everything that you need and flash it =)
so i must unlock the bootloader first and change the kernel, then flash my preferred custom rom?
What about cmw?
Are there sacrifices in gaming performance when any of those things above were installed?
If you falsh a kernel like DoomKernel, CWM it's included
Nop, the gamming performance gets increased , the only "disadvantage" in gamming is when you flash an ICS Rom, most of games don't work on ICS (or work bad) and only one rom has full touchpad support
thanks so much bro!
Now i am enlightened a bit..
You're welcome
