Wondering if someone can report any noticeable differences between these two awesome kernels? Thank you
I see better battery life on KT747.

Same here. Probably because it has the lowest cpu step at 192 which helps a lot.

I would rather use faux123 but honestly K's has much better life even with version .8 that supports UV. I'd go KT.

Well Franco 18.6 only OCs to 1.35Ghz.

Soon franco will have an experimental branch and I'll bet we'll have 1.65ghz back

Overclocking doesn't necessarily man it's better. I'm using francos but undertaking it to 1000. still smooth and lasts longer

you can still find his old kernels somewhere.... just search for it.

It's pretty easy to switch between kernels (just put the zip on your external and flash with CWM). Try em both out and let us know which one you think is better.
I'm using Franco's kernel atm and think it's great (still on 18.4) but haven't used the Glados one.
Alright thanks for the input everyone!
It depends on what you need, battery life or performance. etc ?
Just curious as to what is popular as far as undervolting apps go on the SGS II. Its one of the only things i havnt messed with on this phone. Back on my captivate i had super awesome undervolts with using the "Voltage Control" app. I loved that thing, can it stull be used on the SGS II?
and also if any of you have an awesome UV that works for you, mind posting the settings here?

Is that really the best? I used that back on my captivate also, but it was in much earlier development stage. Anyone have some setting they want to share as far as your undervolts go?

That's the only one that you can use right now on the e4gt with ics so that's why I use it and its more stable to me than setcpu

Haik,
What happen, AT$T throttle you out the door too? lol
If you're looking for battery improvement, try Kobridge tweaks linked under KO in my sig.
There are diff modes for better performance(SF) to better battery(A)
They definitely perfect CM9
Tegrak works well, but I don't undervolt because of the KO tweaks.
Tegrak is the only one we can use right now. I prefer SetCPU though because it's a lot simpler. I hope to return to using that once we get custom kernels after ICS source is out.

Oh god yes lol. Couldnt stand it anymore so i jumped ship! hah You should try out the AOKP source build by Times_Infinity and flasht he kobridge tweaks and let me know how it goes lol
Whats recommended to undervolt to, on this phone?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I use tegrak. I generally undervolt -50mv on each step and on GPU steps. Seems to work well and add a little bit of battery life back.

I was just wondering if I should stick with the stock kernel that comes with task and ktoonez ROM or switch to ktoonez's kernel for even more butter/battery life?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
I'm not entirely sure if using ktoonez kernel will give you better battery life but you can overclock his kernel which could make things a bit smoother. You can also undervolt his kernel too which is a nice feature.

You should really advise someone that doesn't know to try both and see which one better suites the device in particular. All devices are not created equally and they all react differently to different kernels. While you may get better battery life with that kernel I do not. And so on and so on down the line.
Thanks guys. I have it flashed and I am giving it time to settle and see how it does...

+1 I also get better battery on stock aokp kernel. And on KT kernel I can't get voltage control to stick all of the time and my phone bugs out from min being at 192.

Personally I prefer Kt747 kernel. First of the big up with KT747 is the KTweaker app that comes with it that allows you to OC your phone to 2106 MHz and makes it easier to undervolt, plus, it has a lock frequencies option the lock down frequencies so apps can not change them. The other big up is the ktoonservative CPU governor that comes with it that really improves battery life. You can also backup your preference to your sdcard so if you try new voltage and it gets too unstable you can easily go back to your most stable settings.
That being said both are really good kernel the best way to find out is to flash them and try them, then you can choose which one you'll keep.
I hope that helps
Ktoon's kernel seems to be updated more often than faux. I haven't tried faux's kernel though.
I also use KToons kernel. The KTweaker app is awesome. I wouldn't use anything right now in my opinion.
Ktoonz is awesome but I use fauxes when I Play games

If you're into underclocking and tweaking with your governor, go ktoonsez. For the light user, I've found much better battery life on faux's kernel, as it performs quite well in deep sleep. Just my 2c.

This is very true. Faux might have just moved on tbh.. But with that said it could be final as is unless new firmware gets released then he will change.

I'm thinking of flashing a different kernel to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus so I can overclock the CPU/GPU. I've noticed that franco.Kernel and Trinity seem to be among the most popular kernels, but I'm not sure which one to choose. In your opinion, what is the best kernel for overclocking and why? FWIW, I have the Verizon model of the phone (toro) and am currently running CyanongenMod 4.1.2, which is based off of Android 4.2.2.

Try It And See. TIAS.. GlaDOS kernel can overclock to 2.0 GHz.. The highest I ever saw. But my phone didn't like it. As for the rest you just have to try and see which kernel suits you best.

Antutu or CF bench are good apps.. And a warning: overclocking will decrease the life of your phone! Be careful! If you want to use your phone a little longer I wouldn't do it (I wouldn't anyway because I think this phone is very fast especially with Android 4.3)..

Hi,
I've decided to bump this thread because all other GNex OC threads are very dated.
I recently received the extended battery 200mah and I'm ready to overclock. I wish to retain battery life to have screen time 3-4 hour on moderate usage.
I'm current rooted on stock ROM, and I wish to simply stay with stock ROM provided battery life will remain the same (perhaps I have to undervolt)
I want to hit 1.5GHz CPU and 384MHz GPU...which is what the OMAP and PowerVR SoC's true default clocks.
Given my circumstances of stock ROM, which kernel would give me the best stability/battery life? Any kernel that somehow has OC settings built in or do they all require me to buy setCPU?

They all use setcpu or trickster mod. Regarding the kernel you just should try some out.

What type of OC are you running?
Do you actually notice it day to day usage? I cant think of any apps that could benefit from it besides gaming which I do very little of on mobile.
How has it affected your battery life?

I don't OC myself. I want my gnex to last some longer. OC will wear out tour CPU.. I die it once for a day maybe two but didn't notice any improvement. I was at 1.5 GHz or something.. I think it may have some speed improvements but your battery will drain like a maniac. If you don't game I suggest you underclock: even more battery life with no speed loss!!
