Okay so I'm using a rogers i747 currently running Quantum rom v1.05 and running the latest bionic sheep kernel for android 4.3. I'm looking to overclock my device and wanted some tips and advice from experienced overclockers about it. Should I use this kernel for it? Different kernel? How far can I safely (it's never safe but let's say as safe as possible) push the CPU. What about voltage settings? I've never touched my voltage before nor overclocked so the more specific the details the better.

I personally suggest the BMS kernel, found here. Just be sure to choose the right Linux base version and stuff for your device. Since you are running 4.3, i would assume you should choose the 3.4y based build. Be sure to triple check before you download though. I have been using this kernel for quite a while overclocked/undervolted and get awesome battery life.
Some advice -
Undervolt slowly, in about 5mV intervals. Test voltages for a while before going lower.
Research before you apply!

I was wondering why after updating from and stock Telus ROM and darksides kernel from his kernel thread to the DDW ROM my processor has been slowed down to 1.35 GHz I saw in notes he does this for safety or something but my Telus G2X has a 1.5 GHz CPU stock am I better off running my stock ROM with just a kernel. Also my 4g icon has disappeared. I also ran some bench tests before and after with those previously mentioned ROM kernel combos and I went from 1.75 overclocked to 1.35 and it shows me being slower then a stock galaxy s2 X.

Download a clock controller app from the market and set the clock to whatever you like, i use setcpu. Pretty straight forward.
The point of the underclock and undervoltage in Darksides ROM isn't to gain stability or because of a problem with stock speeds....it's only purpose is to give you better battery life.
Stability with custom ROMS is the problem you will run into when you test enough of them.
I think the most stable one I ran was Gingersnap.
Peace.
Is it safe to overclock to 1.85? Does it just suck life out of battery

Darksides kernel oc's to 1.78 ghz but comes stock at 1.35
If you torque it up all the way, the phone will def perform better but the battery life will suffer.
I was using the bullet kernel on juggernaut and it is at 1.67 ghz... Battery life went down quickly if inwas using the phone a lot.

Yeah I set it to cap at 1.52 I just hope these profiles work

dude just stop with your anti custom ROM posts. There's a reason why a lot of people use custom roms, it's been completely stable for us.
you are a case of user error
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

atyoung's Mason ICS kernel should work...
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?
The rom I downloaded is a little laggy, just wishing to speed things up a bit.

Ummm... You'll get terrible batt life with those settings... Min/max are 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.

I use Leankernel to go up to 1.9Ghz :good:

Mine has been getting pretty damn hot just at stock clock speeds...you sure you want to do that? CM10 is so fast already!

Thanks for the suggestion. I used Leankernel all day without a single issue that isn't specific to CM10 right now.
P.S. I also upgraded the modem to I747UCLH1 from this thread. To anyone interested, test your data speed on all three modems to find the best one to keep. My rates doubled with this new modem.
Kt new kernel up. 2.1ghz ktweeker app. Running Sammy version and it's blazin fast.

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.
The main things i need in a kernel is something that can be overclocked to 1.9 ghz and something that has good battery and it is smooth i have a aocp rom with android 4.2.2

I would go for the devil kernel, you can OC that to 2.0 ghz but that will kill your battery real quick. Its a great kernel, smooth, stable and good battery life. I would also recommend downloading trickster mod kernel control app so you can control voltages and all that fun stuff. Make sure to use the tOlte DUAL (the third one down) unless you want CWM recovery installed, then you would use the top tOlte recovery zip.

Im runnig persus ver 3.0.36 but I am using a stock jb 4.1.2 I have the device undervolted starting about a point to two points on the undervolting scale all the way to the top of the scale. And im overclocked @1800 again this is on a stock jb 4.1.2 so im not sure about aocp. But I will say my battery life is amazing two days on a charge and my device runs very smooth.

I was looking to OC but I am hesitant since I am running a stock rom even though I am rooted. I have SetCPU and CPUTuner but I just don't know what would be a good speed to set it to. I don't want to run too hot but I would like to be a bit faster. I read other forums about OC with custom roms and they said no higher then 2106mhz or something like that. I just want to know if that would be a safe speed for stock rom.

Where did you get a custom kernel for the stock ROM that allows overclocking? As far as I know you have to flash a CM10.2 or CM11 ROM in order to be able to run a custom kernel with overclocking capabilities.
Check the General Section for the kernel.

@ricco333, I rooted my phone using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276652, so I am not sure what kernel was put on my phone. As far as I know, it is the stock kernel. I have messed around with overclocking and it allows me to do so, I just would like to do know whats the highest I should go to avoid damaging my device. What app do you think would be best for overclocking? I have SetCPU and CPU Tuner.

I don't think you can overclock the stock kernel simply by rooting. The kernel has to have the capabilities to do so. If you want, there is a great kernel that I am using. In the general section, you'll have to flash either a 4.3x or 4.4x ROM to use it.
