Hey guys I been searching, and I am not sure which overclock kernel would work for me. I am currently running LD50 from Team Venum on my Sprint E4GT, but I am thinking about switching over to CM9. Maybe CM10, but I dunno if I want to deal with the Jelly Bean not supporting flash. I like flash. Anywho what would be a good overclock kernel? I been running into a bunch. I generally leave the phone at the 1200 mark, but I like the option that I can if I want to bump the go power. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721235 but it's saying that it's a custom built kernel from the Skyrocket. this is why I am asking. I want to overclock my phone. I want it for bragging rights, but I don't want to have a paperweight. That's what the iPhone's are good for! Anyone willing to help?

Unfortunately I don't know that we really have any options for JB at this point. The included kernel is what you'll have to use.
I can tell you however using the kernel you referenced will guarantee you a brick.
The only overclockable kernels for the et4g are for GB and maybe TWiz ICS, there's only one JB kernel and its sbrissens which is included in all JB roms. All the aosp ICS kernels aren't overclockable since their goal is official CM support. JB supports flash, you just have to sideload the apk from adobe. Overclocking doesn't make a damn bit of difference on this device, it will actually lower your quadrant score because its designed to run at the factory clock speed and the I/O scheduler and OOM groupings are setup to work with the stock speed, when overclocking it throws everything off causing a large drop in I/O, and graphics scores.
We are legion, for we are many.

now keep in mind i am the noobest of noobs in modifying phones. i have an Epic 4g and haven't even touched the surface on it's potential apparently from reading through this forum.
my question is (before i start doing anything else to my phone) what exactly does a custom kernel do for your phone?
also what exactly does a custom rom do for your phone?
I am currently running a rooted Epic 4g w/cwm and i am on the DK28 build.
what else does everyone reccomend for me to get the full experience from my phone? (in the way of a custom kernel and custom rom, since i am pretty affluent to most apps at the moment)
Well a custom rom is usually optimized for speed and responsivenes. All roms are different since devs usually put there own mods and thems in. Some are completely stock temed others are themed fully. Depends on what your tastes are. As for kernals they're usually overclocked and undervolted which means it'll be overclocked to 1.2 or 1.3 ghz and run at the same power level as 1ghz or less. Usually gives faster phone with beter response and overall speed. (Opens apps quicker) hope this gives a little insight. I'm personally running epic experience 2.0.07 and genocide kernal overclocked to 1.2 ghz.(not undervolted at 1.2 ghz only at 1ghz so battery suffers a bit). Waiting for next epic experience release.

that does help tremendously! i had most of it figured out but i wanted to be sure as to what they meant. i appreciate the help and i will be trying the rom and kernel you suggested!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone received all the tech goodies we wanted for Xmas!
I've noticed that most of the ROM's available in the development section already have an Overclocked Kernel and also UV options. I personally would rather use a stock kernel, or a custom kernel that is not overclocked. Right now I don't see that available from what I've searched for.
There are a couple ROMs I'm interested in running, but both install a new OC kernel. Is it possible to strip the kernel from the ROM before installing? And if so, does anyone know a tutorial for doing so, or is it as simple as opening the archive file, stripping the kernel out, and rezipping the file?
I know there are apps like SetCPU to change the clock speed on an OC ROM, but I really don't want to depend on software to keep the OC from occuring. I hope I was clear enough in my post to get the point across lol! Thanks for any assistance gents (and ladies).
Franco's kernels don't have OC

Thanks Josh! Appreciate your input. I am still interested in the other option as well, stripping the kernel from the ROM.
I am not sure how to repackage the from after you do that, but if you extract the rom the kernel is called "boot.img" and you can flash it in fastboot so you can basically flash any kernel you want on any rom

Just curious why you wouldn't want an OC/UV kernel, you're getting better performance and better battery life, no downside imo.

I honestly just don't like to OC my CPU's. In the long run it will decrease the life of the CPU.
Besides, if you have a great AOSP ROM to run, there really is no need to OC at all. Any performance boost from the OC comes at the cost of shortening the life of the CPU.

I've run Intel chips at 40% OC for a decade at a time, with little impact.
I don't expect my Nexus, with or without <20% OC, to last me nearly that long.
Just sayin'....

I've seen many custom kernels cooking for GN, yet, what if i am fine with stock kernel but only want the ability to UV? is there any kernel or app like Tegrak for GS2 which only enables OC /UV for the beloved GN? thx.
Honestly flash Franco's kernel its not hard and relatively safe* you won't find a stock kernel with uv

I dont think you should be using Franco's kernel. Afaik it is only for those on 4.0.3 Roms. To the OP, I can vouch for.the Jame Bond kernel. Have been using it for a week and a half and havent had any issues. Undervolting seemed to help my battery life quite a bit.
Thanks for the heads up on this kernel. I've been meaning to ask the same question. Franco's kernel is awesome, but all of the 4.0.3 ROMs are just to harsh on battery for the increase in speed. It's a noticeable performance boost, but I'm not quite willing to sacrifice 2x the battery life. There's a reason there isn't official 2.0.3 yet.
Disclaimer, that is NOT a knock on our developers. The inherent issues with 4.0.3 aren't their faults. All of the 4.0.3 ROMs that I've tried have been really, really slick

I've used 4.0.3 on AOKP this whole time and never have any problems with battery. Although your milage may vary, I have the GSM variant of it. Did you try updating the bootloader as well (PRIMEKL01)?
I'm on Verizon and there is a BIG difference between GSM and LTE on 4.0.3.
The notion that a bootloader increases battery life is also really, really silly.
according to suggestion, I've tried JameBond 1.2mhz with 307GPU, just undervolted with recommended settings, the screen on time seems to be improved!
Its been a while since I have got a chance to update to a new ROM for my ET4G. In fact, the last ROM I had on my phone was Unnamed, which I still think is a great ROM, just outdated. Currently I'm running Mijjahs ICS Blend v5.1, but I cannot find any kernels on this forum that allow you to OC. Did I miss something? I found a kernel on Androidforums called "Zedomax" but I didn't recall seeing it on this forum. Has anyone else used it? I would be dumbfounded to find that it is not possible to OC in any kernel yet for my phone. Someone please give me a head's up.
I haven't had much experience with Zedomax, but I've heard that it is really old. If you want to OC with GB, use Gunslinger. As for ICS, I'm not aware of any kernels that OC yet but I'm not a big OC'er anyways so I wouldn't know the best.

Gunslinger...THHHHAAATS what I was using before. For some odd reason I got that confused as a kernel for my old Epic 4G. I'm spoiled by Team Venum's ICS roms now man, but I am disappointed to see that there has been no kernels released yet for OC'ing on the ICS platform. I just hope there are some in the making. I'm not sure if I'm really up to going back to GB.
We will not be able to overclock ICS rom such as Blendz 5.1 until source is released. i did hear though that some people were able to overclock to 1.45 using tegrak on the ics leak roms
I'm going to be flashing an SGS2 for someone I know and I was wondering what a good setup as far as ROM, kernel, recovery, radio is for stability and features.
They upgraded from a LG G2x running CM7.2 Nightlies so they have basic experience with custom ROMs, but they don't know all that extreme technical crap.
I'm thinking about Juggernaut because it has a lot of good tweaks and features or maybe CM7 since they aren't many thing on the non-working list.
Please reply with any helpful suggestions, I'm considering flashing an ICS ROM but I'm not sure if it would be stable enough for daily use.
Thanks
The ICS ROMs are suitable as DDs, so take your pick! Choose any of the T-Mo Leaks!
As of now, the kernels that come with the ICS ROMs are as is, so no worries there.
For Gingerbread, if you choose the Darkside ROM, it has a special kernel, made directly for the ROM, but you can still swap out for a different kernel.
With CM7, you can only use the kernel that's meant for it.
All other Gingerbread ROMs are customizable as you see fit.
I hope that helps!
Whatever ROM you choose, you can always ask more questions in its Thread!
I'd say
Dark side
Beast mod
Juggernaut
Not in any specific order
I'd lay off the ics unless your buddy is gonna update it often

I think I'll go with one of those modified ICS leaks and stay away from the AOSP until it goes into RC quality.
Mostly from CM7 he liked the custom gestures, audio tweaks and such. He really just wants good battery to last a while and has zero tolerance for lag so V6 will come in good use. I'm a port dev so I'll be able to throw in the beats libs and dsp manager.
How is the battery stats on the ICS leak?

For ICS use [ROM][ICS] :ARKSIDE.EVOLUTION.2:: [BETA2 [UVLC8][WiFi CALLING][5.06.2012]. I run it as my every day ROM and its nothing short of amazing. If you don't want ICS use [ROM] Telus SGH-T989D Stock, Rooted, Lightly Tweaked, 100% [CIQ Free] with [KERNEL] Synergy v0.10 [CK3+, Autogrouping, OC, UV, BFQ, BLN, OTG] it gets crazy battery life but is getting old.
Also be sure to wipe your phone via [TOOL]:ARKSIDE::SUPER::WIPE[ext4][2.8.2012]

Personally, I'd take an AOSP GB build over leaked TW ICS builds. RC6 CM7 is rock solid stable with no real bugs and tons of customization. Every bit as smooth as TW ICS imo.

But the issue is he wants better than stock battery life and AOSP delivers the exact opposite of that. But I'll see what he wants between all this tomorrow. For most novice users that I flash roms for its about finding a perfect balance between performance, stability, and features. So in simple terms: Noobs always want everything to be perfect and don't understand the concept of how difficult debugging roms is.

Personally. I wouldn't flash any ICS ROM's just yet. There are a few apps that I use daily that doesn't work with any of the leaked bases.
The GB ROM's that I liked were Darkside, Revenge of Macnut, Juggernaut, and Tuesday.

been using juggernaut5 for over a month now.....had the phone for about 4 hours before i had it rooted and rom'd. juggernaut has been very stable for me and i'm on the verge of trying out one of the ics roms built with the t989 kernel from tmobile-either romchicago or darkside.evolution
OK,
They want stability, performance, and battery life and I've heard about some recent superbricks in ICS for the SGS2 and Galaxy Note. So I think the best option for now is to stay on GB and go with Juggernaut 5 + Beats, DSP, V6 + whatever custom kernel. Final Decision. Or maybe ROMChicago if they feel lucky.

Now since this should be flashed as fast as possible I've been thinking about how Samsung has ODIN and you can make custom images for it, so if I could just package the CWM, System ROM, kernel, and Blaze 4G radio into an ODIN package. Flash it in like 2 minutes, setup V6 and be done with it.
I've been searching for some guides to create packages but most of them only show how to create it as a backup from the current ROM.
personally, i love M&S's roms, especially Bombardier. It goes super will with Synergy kernel v.10, the battery life and performance is amazing!
OK, Let me just say that I'm sorry for this thread but it turns out the actual phone is a stock SGS 4G running Froyo.
I thank you all for your input anyway.

On a closing note, Again I wanna thank everyone for their responses and I review and write guides for ROMs so what I learned here won't go unused. Plus I'm sure someone else I know will want a SGS2 flashed.
This is the ROM I flashed for the SGS 4G in case anyone was wondering.

The phone got stuck in ODIN twice (guide didn't mention to uncheck repartition) and I had to use the one click unbrick to get into download mode again. At first I almost had a heart attack because I thought it need JTAG to fix. So thanks to the devs responsible for that tool.
Development for that phone is almost dead but if there's one thing I liked about the SGS1 series they had some awesome stock ROMs.
The most important lesson I learned is that using ODIN is like playing with fire: It does cool s*** but it can ruin everything.
