I want to know if I need to install a custom rom or a custom kernel or a combination of both so that I can overclock my phone(1ghz single core). Please help. Why is everybody so silent here, so unwilling to answer a simple question as this. My fourth post of the same question.
hey dude....

if u install a custom rom it is obvious that a custom kernel will get installed automatically...
any way there is a app called setCpu that helps u overclocking the phone required your phone is rooted...
u can also use "seeder" an app that tries to add smothness to the kernel....

You would only require a custom kernel for your purposes.

Custom ROMs can be built with stock kernels so that's not always true.

cyanogen offers cpu overcloacking but stock kernel doesnot offer this stuff..
if u build cyanogen with stock kernel then rom wont be smooth....

The question asked did not specify a specific ROM. The question was what would be required to perform OC. What is required is a custom kernel that allows tweaking. Telling someone if they install a custom ROM they automatically get a custom kernel is misinformation.
plzzz be clear

i think u need to read the question properly..
he is asking about custom kernel and rom as well....
if u use stock kernel then it would work only with aosp based roms with only minor changes not the change that allows processor tweaking...
and one more thing the stock kernels used to be part of custom roms of gingerbread ...

I couldnt find any information to help my issue and i have been looking for a while. Months ago i was really trying to OC my phone. No matter what kernel or rom I used I could never get it over the default clock speed. I finally found one rom EVO.ZONE.RED.1.20.11 That would allow me to OC. In setcpu I could go over the default clock speed (i dont know how high off the top of my head). Is there any reason why that one rom allows me to OC but no others do? If so I want to try and duplicate it with other roms. Thanks.
OC ability is determined by the kernel. The ROM you were using had a custom kernel with that feature baked in. if you want to OC just flash a new kernel, but make sure it's compatible with whatever ROM you're using

Yeah... i undersand that. I tried multiple roms and kernels with no luck. Just that one Rom. Trying to figure out why, rather than flash kernel after kernel.

try a netrachy-toastmod Kernel that allows for some overclocking also you might have to disable Perflock By clicking menu then selecting Perflock Disabler if you are using a sense based rom.
Hi guys I have just flashed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705334) however it is not the renovatePLUS version, how do I flash with the PLUS version, need it since it has mods and tweaks which I will need, auto-inverted rotating screen is driving me nuts!
FYI: I downloaded the plus zip but I dont know what to do with it, do I just extract into my phone? Because that did not work.
Also, I saw this guy, username(csec) with this signature (Phone: Renovated Endeavoru, F4, XM-Kernel #296 (Most fantastic combo in my entire experience with HOX)). I want to use have those thing stated, already have Renovate(will flash PLUS once I know how), and there is F4, anyone knows what that is? and finally XM-Kernel #296, which I believe is this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136731), can anyone please confirm is that is a similar one that I can use? Sorry for asking so many question, I finally decided to go deeper with flashing kernels and stuff and I require some professional advice, so please help! Thank you!

It doesnt seem to state on that thread that I have to do it through recovery. But thanks anyway!
For kernels I have one more question. Can I just use the kernel as provided? Of course checking that it is meant for my device 1st. Because there seems to be this confusing thing called repacking...

I RUINED my device before with kernels i didn't know how to use them and obviously i bricked my device so please dont try anything unless u gain experience
Repacking is like making peanut and jam sandwich its like making the kernel work with ur rom if u are using renovate u dont need to repack for XM kernels

If there are no Ramdisc tweaks in the ROM, you don't need to repack the kernel... Mostly kernel repacking isn't needed for Sense roms... So you just have to flash the boot.img from the kernel's zip and then flash the modules from recovery...
AOSP/AOKP Roms need kernel repack each and every time before flashing!

Sense roms these days are a lot so i suggest repacking as it will not do any harm!

Help once more!
Hi, so after researching a little bit more, I decided change my kernel to the XM kernel(original non-repacked), tried it for a few days, noticed that it response quite slowly compared to default kernel, things like slow display of lock screen upon power on, less smooth transition when. Could I have done it wrongly? Other than the slow response everything else seems fine, I noticed one of the features is S2W, I tried that on my buttons and it worked, however fast charge usb and usb mass storage isnt working, is there somewhere I can enable it or do you have an idea where I can find a guide for XM kernels that describes its features and functionality? Sorry for asking so many questions, thank you!
You have rather detailed instruction how to deal with fast charge and USB mass storage in XMister's thread (first one or two posts).
I suggest you install some of the kernel manageent applications:
- trickster MOD
- Set CPU
... There are many. Choose one that fits you (I am personally using Trickster).
There you will be able to play with your governors and scheduler, and thus achieve better performance or battery life. Or both. Check Q&A, there are few very educative threads about it.
You seem to be on a good way. Keep reading.

Hello!
I just received my wonderful HTC One V from Koodo, and I managed to unlock it's bootloader+ rooting it. From now on, I am completly lost.
My main objective is to overclock it for a better gaming experience. How can I overclock it? Do I need special kernels? Where can I take it? Are those kernels included in specific roms?
My second objective is to install Android 4.2 JB. So how do I install a rom? Can you recommend me a specific rom? Oh, and is it battery-hungry?
Feel free to post links, tutorials, instructions and any other useful tips.
Thank you very much everyone!

Yes you can use any kernel EXCEPT the stock , all custom kernel for one support overclocking , when u have such a kernel the next thing u have to do is use any app from play store to overclock it ..try CPU MASTER FREE..
The most stable and battery friendly ROM on 4.2 is shpongle ..you will find it in original development sections and its installed the same way as the other roms..nothing special just remember to flash the kernel specified in the post..just flash the rom via recovery after performing a full wipe..
Thank you soo much guys now I'm all set with RC9.5 FX+ Sense 5 Rom and TK Kernel ;D
Let's play with my new toy now!!
hi duds,i have custom rom,can i test multiple kernels ? i mean for each installation,its necessary to reinstal the rom ?
or i can change kernel after flashing the rom and change it many times ? :cyclops: sry for my bad writing !

Yes, you can use any kernel. No need to reinstall the ROM.
Kernel and ROM are placed separately, changing one will not harm the other one.
That also means, you can change kernels at any time.
But make sure, that you use ICS ROM with ICS kernel, GB ROM with GB kernel and JB ROM with JB kernel. Otherwise your phone will not boot. If such things happen, try another kernel.
especial thanks ,for ur especial answer my bro
What is the difference between Kernel and ROM, TO IMPROVE MY PHONE.
Because i was reading about DooM kernel, and other more, and i dont know what it is for.
For example: Now I have Stock ROM, and... what will happen if I install other? Can i remove the Stock kernel to other compatible Kernel? Can I?

DoomKernel is for stock and stock based ROM's. You can easily use it on Stock firmware. Custom kernels do offer more speed and other more functionality that are not available in the stock kernel. But for flashing a custom kernel You would have to unlock Your bootloader.
