I just downloaded the Thor kernel and every time I try to over clock it to 2ghz it says it worked then I exit out of ROM toolbox and go back into it and it turns it all the way back down to 800mhz?
Try a different OC app. Such as voltage control
I've tried 3 different OC apps and they say that its at 2ghz then I run antutu and I get really low scores then I go back into the OC app and it says 800mhz?
Did you try "setcpu"?

Are you running a TW based rom or a CM based rom?

I don't know if its a tw or cw based ROM, its cm10.1

Just a little friendly advice.. honestly I would do a lot more reading before you start OCing that high. The touchwiz/CM difference is at the most basic level of what you need to know to be messing with kernel settings, and while it's obviously up to you what you do with your phone, there's a lot you should learn between what rom your running, and what you're trying to do now.

That'll be CM based, is it straight CyanogenMod 10.1 or is it a variant (like jellybam, paranoid android, ect.)?

Never mind, guess you said it was cm 10.1. What rom are you using to get to 2ghz?? And on cm? I've been searching all over for a kernel that worked for cm based roms on 4.2+ and haven't found anything. Anyway, try locking the clock speed (there should be a box you can check). If that doesn't work, try changing the governor to "performance". This will lock your phone at the max clock speed (that you have it set to, not the limit the kernel allows). If none of those work, it's probably because it's a phone safeguard -- you're not supposed to have it clocked that fast, it'll overheat your phone. The highest clock speed I've seen is 1.9ghz and that's PLENTY fast in my opinion
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
I already know that tw is touchwiz and cw is clockwork, I just didn't know if cm was cm or tw. I get what ROMs and kernels are and I understand over clocking, I just don't get why when I try to oc to 1.8ghz it works perfectly fine then when is use 2.0ghz it kicks it back down to 800mhz? The kernel I'm using is the Thor kernel, one of the people on the forums put a pic up of them getting 22,000 on antutu with their note 2 with the exact same setup that I have and it just doesn't work with me whenever I try to do a benchmark is when it kicks it back down. I know that every phone reacts different to over clocking and undervolting and everything but I just don't get why it kicks me back down?
Each processor is a little different. Yours might not be able to handle 2ghz so it might kick back down to protect itself from overheating/crashing. Just a guess
Sweet! Finally found what I've been looking for! Yeah just try a different governor, mine works (and sticks) at 2GHz

Can anyone recommend a decent kernel to run with BlackIce .40?
I tried the stock kernel and Trinity kernel and while both ran decent the battery life wasn't as good as I expected...
I'm guessing I'll probably try Franco Kernel next.
Also, since this ROM allows for kernel settings should I use SetCPU anyway? I like setting the profiles in SetCPU and the ROM, whicl it does have kernel settings, it doesn't allow profiles to be set...
all help/opinions/recommendations are appreciated.
Samurai Kernel is the best. For the sprint nexus I'm assuming that's what you have dunno if black ice is for other variants. Anyways yeah
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730544
Find the part where it says flashable kernels and download which ever gpu frequency suits you. 512 is butter.
Also use voltage control or the built in rom control for cpu and voltage. Using profiles is useless let the kernel does its job and control the cpu like it's going to.
Another plus is you don't have to use a kernel app.... It has built in support for color control in the rom.

So the other day I installed an unofficial version of cm9 on my Evo. As many of you know, cm comes with options to over clock out of the box. Sadly, with the stock kernel you can only go so far. I found a new kernel online, and flashed it onto my phone, only to find out it ruined the rom, forcing me to reflash cm9. I was wondering if there are any kernels that I can install to overclock my phone further? Pics included

May I ask why you have the desire to.overclock so violently? Most the time, underclocking will even show no loss In performance and save battery. All times I have overclocked, I've never noticed a major difference.. it may be slight but not enough for me to care..
why is your min/max the same?

One more thing.. pegging your CPU at max ghz will eventually destroy your device. The EVO is made with a single core 1 GHz snapdragon and so anything really over 1GHz will really put a strain on your processor. Best advice would be to either flash a new kernel, ROM, or find some tweaks to decrease lag. 1.2GHz isn't healthy for your phone...
This is my first rooted device and I'd like to set the CPU frequency higher. I've read that 1600 is moderately safe and 1800 is feasible. After installing setcpu I've realized that CM10's kernel does not allow overclocking. What is the best action to take? Am I out of luck if I want to stick with CM10? Or is there another kernel I can use compatible with CM10? Thanks for reading.

Try kt kernel in original development, I've used it with great success. Has oc up to 1.89. Also allows you to under volt to save some battery. In conjunction with ktoonz kernel get voltage control from the market to adjust cpu clock and voltages.

Hey this might be a bit late on this thread, but Siyah has just released an updated, which works with cm10 and allows for overclocking up to 1600, and undervolting to save on that ole battery... currently for the galaxy s3
Obligatory reminder:
Not all phones are the same. Some tolerate overclock/undervolt better than others. What you WANT your phone to do may not actually be what it WILL do. Start slow, only change one step at a time. I would recommend finding the perfect oc point for your phone, then slowly, slowly working the undervolt into it.
So my phone keeping getting hot after 10 mins of use why? I am currently running liquid smooth aosp jelly bean 4.2.1 beta 2. Is it the ROM or what?

Is something driving up your CPU usage? The fastest way to check that might be to see what's draining your phone's battery using the usual methods.

I had same problem. For me the fix was getting LeanKernel 2.0.
4 hrs screen on time! Its the best for my phone. Since all kernels are device specific it might not be best for you.
To get it go to T-Mobile gs3 go to original dev and download lean kernel 2.0. Make sure its 2.0.
T-Mobile and AT&T work the same. If you use one of the other 4.2 ROMs on here I think Liquid smooth it comes with Lean kernel pre installed.

No no. Like it would randomly change the setting to 1.9/1.8 ghz max. Sometimes it would set the max to 1.1 ghz. I donno, it was weird. Maybe that's your problem, maybe not. Every phone is different.

The same thing happens to me. It's not really hot, it's just kind of warm. It only happens when I'm using the phone, when it's locked it sleeps just fine and keeps cool. Otherwise it heats up and drains my battery in the process. CPU Spy shows my clock speed switches between 384Mhz and 1.5 Ghz depending on what I'm doing. My CPU usage isn't consistently high, even if its at 10% it still does it, seems quite normal. I can turn off data, wifi, bluetooth, and location services, doesn't help at all. I've tried resetting my battery stats, where I charged to 100%, cleared stats, depleted fully, then charged too 100% fully. No different. The heat comes from the bottom of the phone, maybe closer to the right side about an inch from the bottom, it is not coming from the battery. My battery usage shows high usage on the Media process or the Android System process. Ending either of them does not help, so I'm assuming they aren't actually using the battery like it says they are.
I'm running Liquid Smooth 4.2 beta 2, same as OP, with leankernel 2.2. It does the same thing with KT kernel, I've tried undervolting but it persists. I've also had this issue running slimbean, Liquidsmooth RC8, and RC9. My battery was pretty good when I used to run stock, and it was absolutely amazing when I ran LiquidSmooth RC3 and RC5.
Hi my note 2 is supper laggy i already rooted it over clocked it , i tried to odin back to stock and still laggy as hell might this just be a defective unit ? Even playing a youtube video there is lag. Anyone help ? thanks

That seems kinda low for an overclock gn2. What ROM are you running? If you are custom right now try stock without any mods to it and see what you get. You also may want to try and undervolt it. Also check what CPU settings you are running using setcpu or nofrills. Change the setting to performance and see if that helps.

If it were me, I'd focus on getting my imei back and starting with a fully functional phone. Playing with unsupported (for our device) roms (such as the TW 4.3) or modems is a typical way to lose the imei. I am referring to the other request for support thread you posted.
Lag sucks. Not being able to use your phone as a phone is worse. Focus on one problem at a time.
