[Q] Custom ROM for modern combat 3.

Hello there forum.
I have been wondering if someone can help me find a custom ROM for my [GSM] Galaxy nexus that can support both 13500ghz CPU overclocking as well as games such as Modern combat 3 and GTA3. This actually will help me increase the graphics performance and keep my nexus in the right temperature. I have tested Foxhound ROM but it appeared that it doesn't support games.
It is my first thread and I hope everyone will benefit from it . thanks

You're looking for a kernel not a ROM. A ROM doesn't control CPU overclocking.
AOKP + Franco Kernel will do you well though. As Franco Kernel requires 4.0.3.

Kernel is responsible for overclocking your CPU, undervolting, etc.
This kernel will ALSO OC your GPU to 384 MHz from 308 MHz (or so) so it should help a lot.

Great,, so now the only 4.0.3 I have is the Foxhound ROM. Should i flash into it and then try and install the Kernal from there?

Just flash it after flashing a ROM. If Foxhound is 4.0.3 then you can try it with that, I personally prefer AOKP but like I said before if Foxhound is 4.0.3 then go for it unless you want to try AOKP.

Good, i will work on it right now. ill hit you when works.

ROM: AOKP Build 28
Kernel: Nightly Franco r112

You might try Morphics Trinity kernel.
http://www.derkernel.com/ics-tuna-exp.html
Try this one, it has an over-clocked GPU as well
TNP138-RD-FUV
This is the Trinity NP kernel with 1382MHz CPU And 512 GPU clock
It might help you out.

Try GLaDOS by ezekeel. it has GPU overclock till 500 mhz and CPU overclock till 1.6 ghz
For changing live overclock and other tweaks get nstools from market or buy glados control.

Just be aware that some devices cannot handle over-clocking past 1.3. The phone will crash and reboot. If you try a kernel with over-clock to 1.6 be sure that you DO NOT check "set on boot". That way if your phone crashes and reboots, it will boot up OK.
In the link above for Trinity kernel there is a 1.6 CPU w/ 512 GPU. If you want to try it.
I have also read that even the devices that can handle the 1.6 without crashing, don't actually run at 1.6 due to thermal throttle. When the CPU reaches 1.6 it over heats and will thermal throttle down within seconds.
Let us know how it turns out.

Overclock flash kernels for Galaxy Nexus w/ Jelly Bean (4.1)?

I rooted my Galaxy Nexus two days ago and I got the new Jelly Bean OS, but problem is now my phone's CPU is back to 1.2 GHz and I would like to overclock it back to about 1.4-1.5 GHz. I have an extended battery so overclocking really isn't an issue with me.
Has anyone developed any kernels I can flash onto this new OS phone?

I'm using Franco's kernel, which allows for overclocking up to 1.9Ghz. You'll need to buy his app though I think to be able to set the custom speed (or wait for a ROM that has the feature built-in).

Riiiight... SetCPU ... It's been a while since I've used that one so I forgot about it . Used to use it on my Nexus One though, great app.
However if you're using Franco's kernel, buying his app is a great way to support the dev plus you get easy access to all the possible tweaks you can make with his kernel. Worth every cent !

[Q] Highest Stable Overclock? (On JB)

Hello, I'm dumping my most amazing phone ever (Dinc) that I've had since the day it came out because Verizon are greedy *******s, and I just ordered a Gnex GSM from the Google Play Store.
When it arrives, I was wondering what I can expect to achieve via an Overclock and have the system still perform rock solid.
Thanks!

subjective. different for everyone and depends on temp, usage, stability of app youre running etc etc. just bump 5% at a time until you crash then drop it down one notch

You also need to disable smart reflex to hit the higher clock speeds without random freezes or crashes. I am running the trinity kernel at 1520 MHz stable with mpu smart reflex disabled.

i can't provide any input on overclocking because this phone performs so well without it that i haven't found a need to. plus, the battery life is bad enough.

really, its different for every phone. I run 1.804ghz(trinity) stable after a little voltage adjustment. and you would have to turn off smart reflex for that. you will have t read up about smart reflex.

As said above it varies. Fastest I ran that was stable (at least for me) was 1.9 GHz (Franco Kernel) but there wasn't much benefit. I'm currently on Trinity at 1.4 GHz. Trinity on 1.7 GHz crashes for me.

Out of interest for you guys on 1.8/1.9Ghz, what do you have yours so high for? Games? Just interested as I actually have mine UNDERCLOCKED to 1096 and have no 'real world' use for anymore. Mind you, I'm not a big gamer so I wouldn't know how the nexus really handles 3d gaming.

Because I can. Because Android fills my daily fix of tinkering and tweaking.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

With Trinity kernel for JB, I'd guess that 1420MHz CPU / 384MHz GPU would be stable for most phones, and it gives you a good little boost in benchmarks, fwiw. That's about the highest you can run without having to remember to tweak other values. And you can knock it down to 1036 or 1190 MHz if you need to save battery. My phone tests ok with the 15xx/5xx MHz kernel, but there isn't much additional oomph in the benchmarks, so I just use the 1420. Also don't want to abuse my phone too much.

Well the faster CPU helps with n64 emulation some games need a bit more omph to play smooth

Gnex overclock
I have overclocked my Gnex to 1.6 with the glados kernel and using the glados control app it's very stable. I tried 1.8 but crashes but I would highly recommend glados very stable at 1.6 and runs a quadrant score in the 2800's

Congrats on dumping Verizon. They are the worst. I am happy to be rid of them. Trinity 1344 and Franco Milestone 5 have been the most stable for me. I currently am running Franco Milestone 5 at 1536, it's fast and stable. You gotta remember too that this phone is running Jelly Bean and a dual core which will be faster than your Dinc anyways.

You have to see the battery issue as well, if not to its will end quickly! In my opinion, use it in Stock is enough. But sometimes I get to put on 1.4Ghz CPU, and I reduce the voltages using the app franco kernel.

I was running Franco milestone 5 at 1536 nice and stable. I think I'm going to drop it back to stock-ish speeds and undervolt it a bit to save battery.

Thanks for all the input everyone.
I guess my last question now would be, if I root and keep the Stock ROM, has anyone experimented overclocking the stock kernel?
And if I decided to install CWM, and keep the stock ROM, would Trinity or Franco work on that? Or would I have to install something like CM10 or AOKP to use those other Kernels.
I would rather just like to stay stock without CWM and overclock the stock kernel.

GPU overclocking kernel request

Found this in another forum. Wanted to get exposure to the possibility.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087853&postcount=2
From another poster: He references using "siyah" kernel in his S3, which appears to be an international version with the same processor as we have. He indicates the need for "stweaks". He talks about GPU "steppings" so I'm not sure if Andrielux has changed these in his kernel. I installed the app "stweaks" but it wouldn't load as it said "no kernel support".
Wow!!! What in the world. Is this for real? I wonder how stable it is. From 440 up to 800?! They are using some app called Stweaks (and the kernel of course) to do it. Love to see that on our Note 2.
And since it seems that the GPU wasn't changed much....from the Galaxy s2 series... "700 Mhz - 1100 mv" is only 75mv higher than the stock 440...and accoring to the forums stable. A 70% increase in speed and stable. This is a must have for any newer kernels.

His kernel does have it. Read the n7100 thread for directions

It's about 1/3 the way down the OP with a beige arrow and a GPU frequency table. The few paragraphs below explain how to overclock the GPU via adb/terminal.
** Edit: AndreiLux just posted a new update which includes STweaks support.

Perseus kernel supports GPU overclocking now using STweaks. And it FLIES. Wow.

Stweaks slow overclocking but if you OC it by 100mhz laugh amd giggles numbers. What kind of actual gpu performance are you getting. I see with.stock better real life performance.during.gaming versus his kernel. So if I were to oc just to match stock is pointless to me.
why overheat the gpu when I can get the same performance on stock kernel.
It has to be the way he has it coded. Till it matches stock and further progress dev for it ill step in. I do appreciate his work and time. But for me I need something better than stock. I got this phone for a reason haha.

What kind of performance? I beat the Nexus 4 as the highest rating 3D for a GPU in the market on Antutu. And it's noticeably different. Fun for extrme gaming I guess. But it affect the entire speed of the phone too.
Did you try it yet? The kernel is EXCELLENT. Going to donate from my next paycheck to dev. Thanks again.

Why would I need a kernel to overclock the gpu to match stock gpu clock from stock kernel to get same performance performance. Neak is on the s3 not Note 2 unless he or it in that Rom but still.

Should we test it? I asked him if it will work on the Sprint version of the Note 2. I can't imagine why it would not.

FYI, STweaks is working for the Perseus kernel as of build 27. My GPU is currently at 733Mhz and I've undervolted all settings by 25 - no issues.

Yep. Seems like a very stable kernel to me. But the guy above is saying that the kernel has low framerates compared to stock. I am hoping he will test the Neak kernel out.

Sorry but I will not ill be sticking to stock maybe in the future. That kernel seems weird not sure which to choose. And like I said, I don't see the point of downloading a kernel know that will I will basically need to overclock the gpu just to get the same performance as I would on the stock kernel.

[Q] faux123 kernel and NFSMW

been messing about with a bunch of updated kernels recently and noticed something awesome but odd, particularly within Need for Speed: Most Wanted. i absolutely love the game and have played countless hours but after flashing the latest update of AOSPAL 3.60 and faux123's 29 kernel i found it unplayable but looking even MORE fantastic than i ever saw before! the water and reflection effects with the crisp shadows and darker/grainier lighting looks amazing but it plays at a very low framerate when i get into the race. so i flashed AKr46 kernel and now it runs at full speed but all the prettys are gone :crying: :crying: :crying: (though the game is still graphically appealing)
im an "OOOOOOO SHINY!!!!" kinda guy >_< the visuals arent THAT important, but whats up with the downgraded graphics? are there any other kernels that retain the "MMMMMMM" while maintaining a decent playable framerate?
P.S @ faux123 - YOUR KERNEL IS THE FASTEST IVE EVER USED IN EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF MY PHONE! KEEP IT UP BROSEF!!!!

Which one are you running mainline or ultimate? I'm running ultimate right now and my gaming is cool. Might have to a different kernel and see if I notice a change.
