[Q] Which KERNEL for Stock Sense ROM to OC to 1.7-1.9GHz?

I'm runing stock Sense ROM and would like to flash Kernel that will allow me to overclock to 1.7 or even more.
EDIT: If possible by insmod (oc module + cpu freq table), that would be even better.

+1
and it should not mess up with the Wi-Fi MAC address & Bluetooth
I tried some 1.5GHz/overclock kernel, either of them changed my Wi-Fi MAC or messed up Bluetooth pairings. Now using overclocking module(GodSpeed)

Oh wow that's crazy. Would it be safe to clock it at that speed?

I'd say 1.4GHz is relatively safe, running it for weeks.
1.9-2.0 definitely insane, but I'd like to try 1.7 and maybe higher to see how far it goes.
So would like to know which kernel from G2 forum would work with Sense ROM, or maybe someone could extract the needed files so we could install via insmod.
I think we only need two files: one for OC and the other with voltage table.

The 1.8GHz kernel on G2 forum works on Desire Z, except Bluetooth.
Just tested on my Hong Kong Desire Z, until they fix the BT issue, I will stay with 1.4GHz

Maybe there is a way to unpack that kernel and only take the overclock part of it, that should keep all other stuff working.

[Q] Overclocking issue

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.

[Q] r800x always Max CPU speed

Hello everyone,
I am running the STOCK 2.3.3 rom (verizon) but using this kernel designed for stock 2.3.3 (here)
I can adjust the cpu levels just fine, but no matter what governor I choose it stays at the maximum level, as if in performance mode. I've checked with a few cpu-monitoring apps and nothing seems out of the ordinary at all. The phone also seems to be laggy in games at times, as if there is something running in the background. (But no unusual processes/apps are running)
It was working pretty good yesterday, but I don't know if it was maxed or not at that time, I didn't notice until today. So, is this a kernel problem? Is there another recommended kernel that can overclock properly using the stock ROM?
I ask because I can't find any tutorials on how to install a recovery to flash r800x to install a new rom.
Thanks for reading! I can post more information if needed.

I "fixed" it by flashing a JB kernel and ROM... For some reason, even after switching to the original kernel from the .ftf file it would still stay at max. I'm now using lupus JB v8 and paranoid android and all seems to be well.
Hopefully gaming won't be too bad. x)

(Q) Which Kernel?

Which kernel is best and most stable to use with stock ROM as I'm new to this device just seeing what other users opinions are that have been using it for some time.
Also does Odin have to be used for flashing is can it be done threw the standard procedure of going into recovery and flashing via install zip?
Thanks in advance

Most stable is the kernel by arco68 made for rooted stock roms.
Yes, some kernels can be flashed via CWM provided they are the correct format.

Would you be able to link that kernel thread as the 1 I have found closest to that was 1 based on arco68 kernel.
Thanks again for the help and responses much appreciated.

Optional: Flash GT-I9195_Kernel_v1.zip to use a custom stock kernel, which might fix battery drain for some.

I noticed that before as I used that guide for rooting but was looking for a kernel with a few more features but if this is the best to date I'll stick with that, thanks again.

You're looking for stability so that's the most stable.
I'm personally using f4ktion's 1.3.6 but that version is currently only for AOSP roms. Sticking with Samsung stock roms you only have f4ktion's 1.3.0 to play with but some have reported that its features (BLN) are not working.

Vikinger Kernel is based on arcos modified stock kernel with the extra of bln-feature. Should be as stable as arcos. Never faced unstability and I am using it since release

Are you talking about his kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47893414

yes

My favourite would be F4ktion's, and I spent the last week on it.
Unfortunately the wifi seems to be broken - works at first, but sooner or later (typically within a few hours) something happens, phone becomes hot, wifi can't be switched off, and everything becomes laggy.
Battery will last two-three hours once that happens and the phone will blame wifi for 90% of battery usage.
Only reboot fixes it, until it happens again.
During the last week I was experimenting with different solutions such as using stock's configuration files (the stuff under etc/firmware/wlan/prima) as well as trying to replace the prima kernel module from other kernels. Nothing helped.
(well, most of my attempts made wifi not work lol, the few that worked didn't fix the problem)
If anyone has any ideas what else to try, it would be great -- the kernel was great otherwise (after lowering minimal frequency down to 160-ish MHz battery prediction exceeded 6 days, and that's before I undervolted anything).
In the meantime I'm on Vikinger's kernel - not because I use its features but because installing it was the easiest way to get wifi working again,

Does Vikinger's custom kernel support performance control where you can change clock support etc?

No
No clock change beyond what stock has, no undervolting.
It doesn't have any interesting governors either.

like I said. It's just arcos kernel with the extra of bln support. you could have get that information from the first post of the vikinger kernel thread. all features are mentioned there

How to enable USB OTG on stock kitkat ?

Hi guys... I've been using the LGOG E975 for years now , currently I'm running ARTMOD V7 rom on it using the stock kernel.. The only thing that it lacks is lack if storage..
I'll be very grateful if someone could point out the kernels that'll support USB OTG ( of course with the USB Y OTG ) On ARTMOD V7 .. I've used the AK xGenesis gee , and was able to mount external storage using Stick mount.. But it had a lotta bugs like screen brightness was too high even on 0 , glitches etc etc or maybe it justdidn't support the artmod v7..
So i just want you too point out all the kernels that support otg hack on this rom.. Or if there's an alternative then let me know it..
Thanks

I don`t know how you booted with that kernel installed on a stock rom.
Even so and regarding your question , I think there`s a version of jollaman kernel tha has that(one of is first releases i believe).
Just search for it or ask him.

10x man..
Can you plzz explain all the type of kernels and roms.. I am a lil confused.. What type of kernels can i use on the stock kitkat..There are mostly these types of roms and their supported kernels..
1. Stock
2. Gee
3. MIUI
4. CM
5. AOSP
What are these..plzz explain and add anyone that i might have missed
And one more question .. I've read a post of Nexus 4 otg hack by ziddey.. There is a flashable zip for the hack that i remember flashing a long time ago.. But the phone didn't boot after it.. Isn't There a way to just flash an OTG hack zip on the stock kitkat or maybe a way to compile one with the hack..

Solid kernel may work. I have installed it and it worked very well. But I don't know that OTA working because I didn't tried.
