I'm quite happy with the stock ROM. Is it possible to overclock it? Do I just need to install a overclockable kernel? Will I lose any functionality due to bugs/etc? What's the most reliable kernel for O/C?
Thanks,
Nick
It is possible to OC it only via a custom kernel.............so i recommend that you try the Dust kernel by einstein.frat
Yea he's right. what you need is only being rooted and recovery for flashing kernel..and of course a program which controls your cpu such as setcpu..
i recommend you kernel that cm7 used with last update. it supports 864mhz even and with no stuck( and battery drain )if you search for it on xda i am sure you will find..

In any way......DO NOT use the CM7 kernel...........an AOSP kernel is a bit different from the Stock(sense) one.................................it won't work
Thanks all. It looks like I'll give the dust kernel a try.
Are there preset CPU MHz settings for overclocking or is any integer value allowable? Most of the overclocking threads talk about 768Mhz, 806Mhz. My guess it's probably constrained by some clock multiplier factor.
oww i am happy to learn that
Plzzz reply which wills sbe the best overclock kernel for stock miui 12

Alright, so set cpu has been updated and it says it has a beta setting for the evo. I was reading through the comments and one of them says that setcpu is only for controlling the cpu speed from standard 1ghz and lowering. If i wanted to overclock to 1.2(I think that's the highest i've seen around) I would have to get a custom rom. So.. i have baked snack v7... is that what they are considering a custom rom? or do i have to have a supported overlcock custom rom. then i use set cpu to control the cpu speed.
?
hah thank you.

You can only overclock the CPU by using a custom kernel, and at this point in time you lose camera

Basically I have the stock 3.70 rooted and all types of stuff. What I want to do is use a kernel that has the overclock set to a frequency 100% of the time. I dont want to use an overclock app.
If possible, are there any stock(based) roms that are overclocked out of the box, without the need for an overclock app? Ideally I would like to flash a kernel on the stock that I have now and have that kernel run the clock speeds at the overclock speed, for example 1.2ghz(example), 100% of the time with no throttling or governor.
thank you in advance for your input.
umm.. ..excuse my ignorance but why in the hell would you want to do that?
So your saying when you and your phone went to sleep you want to be max oc'd....
This is easily done with setcpu profiles and I don't think its a good idea just on battery life alone let alone stress from constant oc
swyped from my cm7 w/4G
Thisss , would kill the phone. No doubt at all. Even no over clock running at type clock 100% of the time would kill the phone..
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.

What is the safest speed you can overclock the samsung epic 4g? I am using the Tegrak overclock right now, and I found out the ultimate can run up to 2ghz.
That doesn't work. You have to be using a custom kernel to overclock the Epic and it is only safe up to 1.4ghz.

FYI, complete newb to this stuff, so please bear with me. Are you saying that it takes a custom kernal for the Tegrak Ulitimate, or the the version I have right now? With the Tegrak Overclock, I put it at 1.3 and it seems noticably faster.
Tegrak ultimate shouldn't work at all, and you're lucky it didn't royally screw up your phone without a kernel with support for overclocking. Look in development and select a custom kernel to fit your tastes then download either SetCPU or OverClock widget and use one of them to raise the clock speed on your phone. I recommend either of those because they are tried and tested methods.

Weird, on the android market it says that it (the standard Tegrak) works with stock kernels, custom kernels, and custom roms. I checked before installing it and I just double checked it now
For the record, it has been a while since I played with my phone, but it's kernel right now is 2.6.32.9

Another thought; I've had setcpu for a while, but didn't find much use for it as the phone is already operating at 1GHZ, which is the max SetCPU will allow the phone to work.
Because there isn't a kernel that support OverClocking installed.Once you have an overclock-compatible kernel installed SetCPU can raise the CPU speed.

I see. Thanks for the info
Also, while tegrak may work I strongly recommend a custom kernel for added stability, along with overclock capabilities up to 1.4ghz (depending on if your phone can handle it) undervolting and other useful features.
Each phone is different. Some phones can handle 1.4ghz, others can't even handle 1.2ghz. You just have to test it out and see what your phone can handle.

It seemed to hand 1.3 just fine, but I still backed it down to 1.0 until I get the custom kernel for it.

After reading the link to Twilite, I am interested in running the SyndicateROM Frozen. Any chance someone could walk me through the steps? I'm not being lazy and am doing research, just want to make sure I don't screw up my phone. I am at work right now, so I haven't even attempted to get Twilite yet. Perhaps getting the new rom would accomplish two things at once??
Edit: After some reading I think I will be ok, but if anyone wants to chime in then feel free.

Here you go man! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy2Et6qVGdo
I made this video and it should help you out. The twilight kernel comes with the syndicate rom so you don't need to flash it since it already comes with the rom.
Is there any truth to a post I read stating some kernels support Wifi Tether and others don't?

I am currently using MIUI 1.7.29 Osimood with the Tiamat 1.04 kernel, and I am wondering what the best kernel is for battery life. I am also using the V6 supercharger ram script. I am running my CPU at 960mHz at the moment, using the smartass governer. I also undervolted using vipermod, 960MHz at 950mV.
My choice consists of the latest Pershoot, UmaroKernel 1.06 or Tiamat 1.04
What differences would I see between those kernels, are they noticeable for a regular user?
Sorry man, but wehre do you find the vipermod for desire z? http://vipermod.tiamat-dev.com/faq.php it's not compatibile with desire z/g2....
Uh...what's wrong with the kernel it comes with? Can OC to 1.5GHz stock ya know. Battery life is great with it too. People always want to flash something weather it be a radio or a kernel.

damn straight,
1) pershoot is a sense kernel? (i am proabably wrong but i have never tried this kernel)
2) umaro kernel i found had issues with wifi, high underclock freq (leading to poorer battery life), but fun if you have the time to tweak voltages and fast!
3) tiamat kernel i found had issues with sleep of death/random reboots on wakeup couldnt test it past that. (setcpu was set to screen off was: conservative 125min -345 max and would still crash)
if you are up for another kernel, i am now using this kernel (streamline5)
no voltage tweaking (pretweaked) but it has good batt, speedy and stable cant ask for much

Pershoot is actually for non-sense roms. The downfall people have with it is lack of governors. Some don't mind, some want variety. I've had great experiences with Pershoot's kernel and it's the baseline that all others are compared to (not to mention the foundation of almost ALL G2/DZ kernels).
Umaro's just needs to have voltage tweaks done manually but on the plus side - keeping the voltages normal (not UV) allows some people to reach higher OC speeds. It keeps the processor from bottoming out due to insufficient voltage which can easily happen when you UV. The main issue is with the Greased lightening governor - it's new and still a bit buggy.
Tiamat 1.0.4 is outstanding. I can sit all day at 2+ GHz (not literally, see: Chernobyl). I personally have an issue with the interactive governor but other than that it's my favorite kernel (Umaro may take that soon, once greased lightening is perfected).
Basically you just need to try out a few and see which you like. There is no 'best'. Most kernels will work with any ROM (Sense being the only exception).
Bumping a thread that is relevant to my interests.
It's about time for me to jump ship from an outdated CM ROM and try something new like a MIUI ROM.
With that said, I'd like to read more opinions & experiences from people using the various Kernels AND how the latest radio (the one released today) is working for them. I'm just trying to get the optimal experience here
Speaking of MIUI would anyone mind telling me some differences between OsiMood's ROM compared to the official MIUI-US ROM (or even DarkSpadez ROM)?
Thanks a ton guys!
I downloaded the official rom . . .then ignored it downloaded osimood and iv been using it since. Osimood is a lighter rom, which is always a good thing, unwanted languages etc are removed for a smaller faster rom. Also he preinstalls tweaks like an adblocker and extended settings mod.
Kernal wise iv been looking for the same info as you but couldn't find it. So I eneded up trying them all:
- Eugenes streamline5 is a nice kernal, preundervolted. Only probly is its not being updated so will become redundant.
-Tiamats kernal allows over clock to 2ghz and seems to support higher overclocks stably where other kernals can't. Except battery life has decreased with recent kernals
-Umarokernal this is the kernal iv come back to twice and am still on. It allows overclock to 1.9ghz and is kept updated by umaro. Performance per frequency seems as good if not better than most and osimoods miui runs smooth with this kernal on 800ghz with scarey governer (which saves battery) Another plus for me with this kernal is the scarey governer which for me definatly provides the best performance per battery ratio.
I'm currently running MIUI 1.8.5 with Eugene-Streamline 5 Kernel with the latest radio update Vision_Radio_12.57.60.25_26.10.04.12.
SetCPU with Governor ondemand provides me with better usage, power and responsive time then Smartass or Interactive.
OC to 1.2ghz
Battery life, about 30hrs with the regular 1350mah.

Its basically like an automatic setcpu (which can't be changed on the fly) built into the rom, its in virtuous unity roms
What sleep profiles are you guys usein. I seem to have rebooting issues with any kernel I try unless I go to a sense rom. I've tried the vipermod now to see how it goes

But how do you get the virtuos O/C daemon to work on MIUI?
You can download it threw rom manager. Even with that kernel I get reboot issues. I assume its cause system ram isn't being cleard fast enough. I'm gonna try 100mv increase to see if there's a difference.
