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 !

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?

But doesn't that automatically overclock it? Without the option to return back?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
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.
Is it possible that we will see an ICS kernel built from source that has been tweaked to support overclocking as well as undervolting?
I realise that source has just came out for our phone but at the same time I find that ICS is rather laggier and has much more latency than when I used GB Juggernaut OC's to 1.73 ghz. Irreguardless of people that will hate on me for saying I experience latency with stock and custom ICS Roms, I am still just wondering if we will be able to OC again one day while on Android 4.0+.
Additionaly,
I know that TheDerekJay has a custom kernel called "Venom" but I do not believe it has OC capabilities.
Does anyone have information pertaining to this subject. All help will be appreciated and thanked

But I think it has undervolting.
Give 'em time. Faux is working on one, but asks for patience. I'm sure MrX is too, but is probably concentrating on CM9, since he's part of that team.

I'm patiently waiting. Got rid of the lag by backing up stock rooted, eiping everything/factory reset/Darkside wipe...then restoring. Now stock is smooth as silk, and I use Nova Launcher Prime. If this helps at all.

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

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!!

Hey guys,
recently rooted my phone (for the first time) and flashed CM10. I've been reading about Kernels and how they can improve battery life and performance and stuff.
I haven't really understood how a kernel would work. Can I just flash it like how I flashed a ROM? Would it 'delete' my earlier CM10 kernel?
Which kernels are compatible with CM10? Which is the best for battery life and snappiness of the processor?
I've heard of Lean,PopcornKernal, and of course, francos.
Thanks,
Sahil
All of them are good. There isn't a best kernel. You should really stay away from asking those questions. And if you don't tune the kernel there is no way to get any difference than from stock.

Im not sure if cm10 requires its own set of kernels but my phone liked the air kernel (ran cooler) and lean (as a bonus removed the purply tint at lower brightness)

kernels are like the engine to a car/rom. They're pretty much what manages and drives everything, whereas the rom is like the entire OS.
Every ROM comes with a kernel by default but it can be replaced simply by flashing a kernel on top of it. Conversely, flashing a rom will replace whatever kernel you're running now with the rom's kernel.

Many kernels come with their apps (which can be found in their threads), or some apps might have access to some properties. Also, some roms (cm comes to mind) have access to some properties of some kernels, though there was a recent fuss made about incompatibility so its not perfect.
Franco Kernel
Hey guys! I want to root my GN and I'm a bit confused about what Kernel use...
I have seen this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367341
Did anyone try the newest version of Franco Kernel (r292)? What's about stability, battery drains, lags... ?
I'd recommend trying Franco's kernel out, it is supported by a nice updater app that can auto-flash the kernel and keep you informed of updates. Doing a bit of research yourself is also always recommended here - this site is for learning about your device. Good luck!
James bond kernal claims to be best in battry life , bt acc. To me trinity alpha 67 with setcpu profiles provide best results.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Android. You are in exactly the right place to ask general questions. If you have a ROM specific question, you should go to the Q&A thread for that ROM.
As far as your question regarding overclocking the NII, you have to have source before anyone can add overclocking to the kernel. I believe there is source for Ice Cream Sandwich, but none yet for Jelly Bean. If you feel the need to overclock, then you should try an ICS ROM. I personally have not felt the need to overclock the NII. It has always been plenty fast for anything I've done. But I don't play games, so I don't know how it runs them.

Here are two methods.
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001936
Flash it onto your note 2 in CWM recovery. Choose which overclock suits you the best. Use system tuner app from play store to change GHz of processor after you flash one of those kernals.
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983658
This one is the most popular, its extremely stable. Overclocks your CPU to 1.8 GHz. Use system tuner app from play store to change GHz of CPU after you flash this kernal.
If you have questions, do ask!
Please keep in mind that overclocking is an art. Two devices with the same hardware might not overclock the same. One might go up to 2ghz while another might only make it up to 1.7. Start slow and make sure it is running stable before increasing the overclock. Use small increments. Also one kernel might not overclock the same as another. Good luck and have fun!

I have seen 2.1 up to 2.3. 2.1 is publicly available.
If I overclocked it to 2.1 would my antutu scores be better than when it's only at 1.8? Cuz I got 19937 on antutu on 1.8ghz. Also, thanks for all of your input into this thread.
And where could I find the kernel to let me over clock to 2.1ghz?
I really wouldn't ever go above 1.5GHz on a quad-core phone... are you gonna feel a difference between 20k and 18k when it comes to real world performance? Seriously doubt it. My optimus G was at 20k when I first opened it, its sitting at 17k now. No difference at all in real world terms. All you're doing is cooking your CPU. Please. Don't go over 2GHz.. and if you do, you should be able to start cooking eggs on your phone real soon.
