[32A][6.35] Overclock Kernel for 1.5 Sense ROMs - 710 MHz, 2.6.27.6, SetCPU Support

For
32A Magic on any Sense update based ROM
6.35 radio
Tested on CursorSense 1.2.6
AnyKernel version for any 1.5 Sense ROM 2.6.27.6 kernel
710 MHz is stable for 32A. It's well proven. Now.
If you are flashing this kernel over Cyanogenmod 5, I don't know what's wrong with you. The .27 kernel isn't meant for Donut, nevermind Eclair. Unless you know how to resolve some of the weird crap that will inevitably happen by you doing something like that, don't do it.
v3 Version works even when you setup setcpu profiles. enabled range from 176 MHz to 710 MHz. If you know how to customize setcpu, it is enabled to allow up to 768 MHz. included setcpu.txt that goes into /system/sd. Does not autodetect.
You can enable 729.6, 748.8 and 768 MHz by manually editing setcpu.txt.
ondemand governor seems to be buggy (exists also with Hero oc kernel, confirmed tests by than33). Try msm7k or performance instead.
Undervolted at lower speeds (245 MHz and down).
v2 Version is not setcpu compatible but does not require setcpu to scale properly. Does not display cpu frequencies. Possible dead on standby bug on some ROMs. SetCPU wont work because this kernel has perflock configured.
BOGOMIPS will still display 528 MHz but it is actually running at 710 MHz whenever 528 MHz is shown. Run a benchmark to see if it is actually faster.

Notes
Kanged from various places
2.6.27.6 kernel
Using http://github.com/maxisma/Hero-OC-kernel edit plus cursordroid's HTC-CCR kernel 2.6.27
Linpack goes to 3.x
Bluetooth, GPS wifi all still work on my phone
If your phone wont boot, revert boot.img and wlan.ko by reflashing those files or reflashing your ROM entirely.
I deleted the kernel source off my computer for this. What you see is what you get

Can I just flash this over an existing cursorsense ROM then?

Yes, that's what i just did.
My score in linpack went from 2.32 (average) up to 3.13. And the phone looks stable and responsive.

That's the point

Haha sorry for that it was early and I'm a bit of a noob - anyway, definitely stable as hell so far, with only a bit more battery drain. Dolphin browser is noticeably smoother.
I was having issues a few weeks ago using any other kernel other than cursors, but this one is working fine (for the obvious reasons). Problem was yellowing and interlacing issues on the screen. I would be curious to try another ROM and flash this kernel to see if it would help those with the newer Rogers magics.
EDIT: don't do this. wouldn't boot past blank screen. wooooo ADB!

This is running on my 32A Magic right now. Everything seems okay actually.
Battery life doesn't seem much worse neither. This patch just bumps the frequency up without changing voltage.

WHat's about test with app Benchmark?

Before? After?
Real overclock or placebo?

If you still think this patch is placebo you have not been around for the last couple weeks

does it work on 2.1 Sense UI ROM (e.g. Smoki, CapySlide)?

Flashed on top of Capymod's ROM based on Sanpei's Legend 0.4 (Eris). Phone no longer boots.
6.35 Radio
1.76.2007 SPL
HTC Magic 32A (Rogers)
Reverted to pre-patched system.img and it's fine again though.

Do you think this is dangerous for the phone? I mean, I know there's always a certain risk, but is it high?

I said this is for 1.5 Sense roms. Why are you guys even trying this for 2.1 roms?

I know in computer OC'ing, the danger is heat, hence the advent of things like water cooling and fans the size of a hubcap.. If the same rings true, I don't think we have too much to worry about as the upping of the frequency hasn't put out any noticeable heat increase during gaming, calls, and regular usage. At least on my phone.

Looks like Sense 2.1 roms won't work with this. Thanks anyway!

Strangely enough Linpack reports no apparent improvement after flashing the update over, still in the 2.2-2.3s. Using CursorSense 1.2.6.1, 6.35 radio, on top of 32A. Any ideas?

Ok. I'm testing, but...
I installed CursorSense 1.2.4 fresh after full wipe, then 1.2.6 and got problem with superuser, then installed 1.2.6.1 - problems with superuser were gone
Installed Linpack 1.1.2, tested without patch...
Then installed patch via recovery, started, tested with Linpack again
No 3.xxx points, same 2.390-2.410 points
Why?
I explore patch - it contain 08dalviklink script. After installing patch - script can be found in /system/etc/init.d. SO patch installed successfully, but why Linpack results are same???
p.s. In build version: Cursorsense32A-1.2.6 + Dalvik-Cachemod by xau. What's wrong?
p.p.s.
Turned wifi off. Results are same
Disconnect from computer. Results are same.

Second try
Wiped everything
Installed 1.2.4, then 1.2.6.1, then patch
Tested by Linpack - got 2.41
Disappointment...

[MOD][11/9] Underclock / Battery Tweak

UPDATE: This was causing too many lockups, moving to a minimal setup that just sets the CPU clock.
This will work with ANY kernel without perflock (nearly any kernel other than stock).
Old tweak removed, new one uploaded.
This is developed primarily for myself, please take this into consideration.
This just sets the CPU to a max of 806MHz and lowers the max clock as the battery drains, it's the collin_ph mod stripped to almost nothing.
Most of the credit goes to:
Collin_ph

Flash in recovery.
This works great for me, I hope you like it.

Do you need to install Myn's collin_ph before this?

I was thinking of trying one of these battery life fixes but Im trying to figure out what the purpose of the userinit script they all have is for? It looks to be a pretty blatant security hole running a script off the SD card but it's likely that I'm missing something.

Regarding kernals this works on, are these with or without havs or does this not matter with your mod?

Nope, it will just overwrite it.

Thinking about giving this a try when I get home, but I'm running Toast's .35 on CM 6.1 Nightly #152. I know you said that it will work on Myn's ROM with King and Ziggy's kernels, but has anyone tested it on CM 6.1 or Toast's .35?

If you read on Kings website the changelog for BFS 11, the first line reads HAVS is out, and he went back to SVS. It will work with Kings BFS 11

Here's a question for the OP. It's been stated that JuiceDefender-like apps compliment the Colin_ph battery tweak, would the same hold true with yours or do you think there would be conflict between the tweak and said app? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer...

Yes, all holds true.
My tweak is still the Collin_ph mod at core, just my own touches to it along with some code stripped out to minimize CPU usage.

It should still have installed, seems I left some residual commands in the install script.
Because every command before that error should have run, it should still be installed.
So...until I post my new changes, just ignore the error, lol

Kernels for CM7 03012011 Nightly

Hi,
I am a new rooted user and have been following all MT4G threads here at XDA pretty closely. Can anyone help me know which kernels I can flash on the 03012011 Nightly(cm_glacier_full-11.zip ). I haven't ever flashed a kernel and I don't know what it does and how it helps.
I'll appreciate any info that you can give me.

Well you can use dumfuq's SmartCMKernel or Faux's CM7RC v1.3 kernels. ATM you might want to go with dumfuq's as its the most stable CM7 kernel other than default. You can find it in development section, once downloaded to SDCard just go in to Recovery and wipe cache, davlik and then Install zip from SDCard> Choose from SDCard> Select it wherever you put it and then flash it as you normally flash rom's. Then reboot and let it run for few min and let it do its thing.

Thanks for your help. Getting this kernel now. I heard about setcpu and Quadrant. Do I need those and how/what are they used for? what kind of difference would this kernel give me?

SetCPU - name explains it but if you don't know its controls clock frequency, so you can over/under clock and even set profiles.
Quadrant - benchmark app its just to brag how high score you got nothing special, don't let it get to your head it means nothing as the synthetic benchmark no way translate in to real world performance its just pissing contest lol
Keep in mind in CM7 you have built in mCPU performance controller to to handle clock frequency which you can access via Setting> CM Setting> Performance> CPU Setting.

You do relize you allready have a aftermarket kernel installed when you download any Rom here in the forums, right? Its ok to install different ones but FYI you dont need to in order to overclock.

Thats up to you as only you know what you use so you can better utilize the resource. I mean if you don't use anything no reason to OC it to 1.8ghz lol that way you will kill battery.

What are the differences between dumfuq's and faux's? Is there an advantage to one over the other? I've always been using faux's the whole time.

I keep going back to just using the stock CM 7 kernel clocked at 1.5 honestly I think it gives the best overall performance (on my phone at least) and honestly I had issues running over anything past 1.7 with any kernel but again that could just be my phone. I had it oc'ed at 1.7 for a while and now I have it clocked at 1.5 and notice I have less FC (not that I had many at 1.7 but def more apps would choke from time to time) This phone is pretty fast bone dry stock with no oc'ing but it runs beautiful at 1.5. I dont really notice much performance difference from 1.5 to 1.7 but I do notice a battery difference

i9020a overclocking

Has anyone been successfull? i have tried every OC kernel and as soon as i overclock it just reboots my phone to a freeze (only way out is to either pull the battery or adb reboot). That being said the UV kernel runs fine.

Not sure if it has to do with the I9020A series.
But overall, each NS phone can tolerate its own OC levels. Some phones can tolerate only up to 1.2 GHz, some may be able to achieve 1.4GHz (or beyond). And for some of the unfortunate, some aren't able to OC at all.

Thus this post. I hope my phone is'nt the issue. it would be nice to push a little bit more out of it if i needed it down the line.

I over clocked mine to 1.4 and it was fine, I leave it at 1.0 tho, this friggin thing is quick enough for now.

hmm how do you check your radio. I'm gonna try that as a last resort. And i can set mine as 1.4 but as soon as i run a resource heavy task (n64) my phone locks up and reboot freezes.

Not sure why a radio would affect your ability to OC but...
Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version
the last 3 are what you want to look at "JK8/KB1/KB3"
List all the kernels you've tried. The best in my opinion is Netarchy's 1.3.0.3-CFS kernel using SetCPU
Try intervals of 1.2 GHz too. My phone can only go up to 1.2 GHz

Yeah actually i had tried all of the bfs kernels. I just succeeded in getting Netarchy's 1.3.0.3-CFS kernel. And i can run up to 1.4 . Maybe the brain fk scheduler does not play nice with 9020a's

Also, is there anyway to recover the stock kernel? I'd like to have it handy to be able to go back to it.

Wipe dalvik and cache. Flash a rom that flashes stock. Like cm7 but netarchys is so much better than stock
You can also get ogdobbers which is stock + ext4 + voodoo.

Hey everyone,
This is an off topic question but does anyone know what happened to the 1.6 OC support for Netarchy? I loved to see the absurdly high quadrant scores and instantaneous screen transitions.

you're better off asking that in the netarchy kernel thread in dev forums.
netarchy could answer that... not a lot of phones can tolerate 1.6 GHz Oc

[Q] A couple of questions about kernels

I'm on infused 2.2.3 and i currently have Entropy's daily kernel.
I have a few questions about changing it
1) i already know i can just flash over it but, i want a bit faster one, and i wanna try to do that oc stuff... a few things i dont understand from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212485 is that it says only works on Samsung roms and not AOSP roms... firstly would i be ok being on infused? and also what does AOSP even mean?
2) I know it's a stupid question but what is a GB rom and what is the difference between it and other ones?
3)what is voodoo lagfix, voodoo sound and insecure boot?
I think that is all for now
Thanks for any help

First- yes you can flash that kernel with infused.
2nd- GB is gingerbread, its the lastest realses of android system (or soon will be for our infuse)
3rd- voodoo lagfix and sound are a tweek that helps your phone look ,run smoother, quicker, and sound better without a custom kernel but still works with everything.

in the thread you posted, you can pick any of them......Cores A and B just have different clock speeds added.
1.1 of course being the latest, but some have said they prefer 1.0. just flash it with SGS kernel flasher or CWM and you will be good. after doing so, go and get Voltage controller(free) or one of the paid apps(set cpu,Pimp My Cpu) and you will have the option to OC(Over Clock) and UV ( Under volt) that is all really.
no harm no foul, you should not mess anything up. try them out and see which one you like better. i personally liked 1.1 with the Infused Rom.
