ok so i have te mytouch 3g rooted with cm6 and i want to flash an oc kernel from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698578 and it says it requires setting_max_freq what does this mean and how do i do it. please help and thank you very much

Hey. I just installed setcpu on CM6 and enabled set on boot. Then flashed the 614 kernel. That should work. I tried the 710 but it would just crash and bootloop.

What Am I Doing Wrong? (Overclocking Question)

Well, on my Inspire I have flashed a custom rom that gives me up to a 1400 score on my Quadcore tests, yet I see other people hitting 2000-2500, what am I doing wrong? I'm using Core Droid v5.0 with a flashed radio that speeds up my download and upload speeds. Do you guys have any advice on how to speed up my Android?
And by the way, yes I do have set CPU and I have the settings on Max (1024000) and on Minimum (245761) I also have set on boot ticked along with profiles to save battery life. Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
RootTheNoob
Are you running a kernael that can be overclocked?
How can I tell of it can be overlooked, and I'm pretty sure I am its the default core Droid Rom, or do I have to install the kernel separately as well?

The default CoreDroid kernel isn't overclocked. Also if you have an overlooked kernel, setcpu would let you push past 1ghz.

I think you can use the leedroid kernel with coredroid can't you? If so, I'm using that one. It will overclock to 1.8. I only run at 1.2 though.
see post 957:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12123867&highlight=leedroid#post12123867
So what do I set it to to overclock it?
First you have to floash the kernel. The you use the slider in set cpu to overclock.
How do I flash it?
Sounds like you have some reading to do. Download the kernel to the root of your SD card. Then from ROM manager use CWM to flash rom from SD Card. DO A BACK UP FIRST THOUGH. Read the first few leedroid posts and that will help
No, I know how to flash things but what kernel do I use?
What kernel do I use with Core Droid?
http://leedroid.ftp.rshost.eu/DHD-Kernels/
it is the 2.2.9. Check his post here and it will tell you what you are getting

Try the Inversely ROM...sure its stock based but the kernel can be oc'd to 1.8.... at 1.5 I got over 2600 and at 1.8 I got a 3309 and could do better sub some tweaking...right now though kernel is not a separate flash package.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Um..should be Ingersoll ROM.
Autocorrect fail....
What also helps is be fully charged...do your quad right after fresh boot and stop/shutdown all background processes you can..that's when you get best score.

Edit: hey he just posted his kernel ad a separate package...will make things interesting.
Guys, none of those kernels worked , I had to restore my Android to a previous backup.
Anything I can do?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Coredroid 5 is based off the the leaked GB rom no custom OC kernels are available. 1500 is about what I get with that rom also. If you want higher quadrant scores you need a froyo 2.2 based rom and kernel.

You'll prolly have to download a Rom with an oc kernel and wipe everything before you install it.
May not be what you want to do...but might be the only way to get what speeds you're wanting.
Otherwise...you'll have to wait till there's an oc kernel for the Rom your using.
yelp there isnt Oc of the core with gingerbread.. they do a 2.2 with oc. i havent done those yet cause i do like this gingerbread.. Im just going to keep with this V5.0 MIUI guys have the OC kernal for their gingerbread but they have more steps than i wanna deal with.

Can't get setcpu to work. Help

Right after I wipe my phone and and but it all back up I try to use setcpu to turn it up and it doesn't have the autodetect like it normally does. When I flash a kernel then it has the correct multiple choices. Can anyone tell me why I cant get setcpu to start up right unless I load a different kernel. Irritating. Thanks for you're help in advance

I don't think you can overclock the stock kernal. If you have the stock HTC kernal installed then SetCPU won't autodetect or OC even if you use custom variables from the SD card. In order for it to work properly you have to use a custom kernal.

It's spelled kernEl
But yeah, like he said. You need a custom kernel for Setcpu to work. And even if you do, it only overclocks one core because we don't have true dual core support yet

Thank you for setting me straight on that. I was starting to lean that way but I still wasn't sure. I'm still reading all that I can find to understand what kernels are made to run on what roms.

[Q] tilmat kernle 2.2.0

I rooted my xoom every thing going good but in sys there is no over clock or any thing new from the tilmat kernel do I need to start over and go back to adb and I'm not getting the tilmat boot img at start up but kernel is installed and runing
Install SETCPU and overclock with that.
Also, its tiamat, not tilmat; and kernel, not kernle.

overclock cm9

So i just installed cm9, and my phone can only go to 1188mhz so how do i over clock because i know the sensation can go to 1.6
Install system tuner and try to raise the value. If not, install a kernel compatible with cm9 and u should be good.
On some of the early nightlies I was able to use faux123's 005b3 asop kernel and overclocked to 1.78. I only used it on a couple of the early nightlies. I tried flashing it a few days ago and got bootloops. I think that was on nightly 01, maybe 30.
Stock kernel works fine for me. Overclock will probably be available sometime down the road. Someone on cm9 dev thread is running faux's kernel now, apparently without problems. I guess YMMV, or maybe that should be MMMV.
Isn't there a kernel less than 1.78 like 1.67 or something. A 1.6 kernel should be ok and u don't need to turn it up to max.

For CM9, faux is the only one that maybe works as far as I know. There is a mod over in the dev forum that overclocks to 1.5, I think. Haven't tried it, so I can't verify.
cm9 was great, but it wasn't stable yet and couldn't be over clocked
so i tried aokp that wasn't as good the screen looked too small and spaced out, but yo ucould over clock. And unfortunately without me knowing my phone was backing up my apps, ON MY DATA, so i owe virgin about 200$ now =_= for using 70$
In the end i went back to arhd, do yo uguy have any recommendation.
Use faux kernel 005b3 it will over clock it to 1.728.and it is stable and will run great.I have been running it for 5 days no problem.

First make double sure the kernel is compatible with your rom and operating system and firmware . Then wipe cash.and dalvik cash, then flash like a rom. By downloading the Kernel to the root of your SD card and flash through recovery. I like 4 ext recovery. After wiping you install from SD card then reboot. Hope this helps.
Of course do the download first, then wipe, then flash

[KERNEL] Overclocked kernel compiled from source

Attached is a quick compile of the newly released kernel source.
The only thing I have changed so far is to add 3 overclocked frequencies.
source is here:
https://github.com/dzo/kernel_ville
Flash it from CWM version 5.8.3.1 or later
It boots at 1.8GHz
Does wifi work alright with this?
This is for Eu one s?
Flashed on BlackDragon v5.0 with DualCore Mod already in place...now o/c'ed at 1.8GHz. Thanks for the (extremely quick!!!) work, mate!!
On trickdroid 3.0 us, just flashed zip and am over locked and ready to rumble.

I was/am on my wifi connection all day, and it had no effect on connection after flash. I have data turned off when I'm in the house (since it's so spotty anyway and I pay for the wifi). I think you're safe.
How's the battery life after flashing?

Yep, I see no reason why it shouldn't work on Stock.
I flashed it but my Max Ita 1.5ghz :/ ill try with the new version in the other thread. Thanks for info

For me, I would like this kernel in the future, implement some other CPU governors such as SmartassV2 or Savedgen etc. Also, some more I/O schduler such as VR or simple or SIO.
And please overclock the GPU!
I think that one most important mod is overclock and undervolt and later custom governor and I/O scheduler!
hi, kenrel doe not work for CM9...i think it is the boot img...
CM9 is different to stock.... wouldn't work
Sent from my HTC One S
you where quick there... didn't think you had already done a kernel from source. Thank you for that work.
I am sorry but for me the Kernel does not show more frequencies in SetCPU.
I am running Leedroid 2.1 on an EU phone with htcdev unlock and cid changed to htc germany.
The kernel installed without errors trying both CWM 5.8.3.1 Touch and no Touch.
It simply does not go above 1512 Mhz.
Ideas?

It'll be the initrd, take the CM9 boot.img and replace the kernel in it with the one in my boot.img using abootimg.

What kernel version does it report, it should say 3.0.8-g8bd784d [email protected] If not, it hasn't flashed correctly.
Try booting or installing it using fastboot instead.

OK you are right apparently it didnt install correctly. Kernel reports 3.0.8-01136-g9d2ad31 [email protected]#1.
would you mind telling me how to flash it using fastboot?
Thanks.
[EDIT]
Nevermind. Used LeeDroid's boot image flasher to learn the commands. Thanks for your work. Kernel is working good. Will no observe its impact on battery drain and performance.

Would you like some fries with that as well sir?
Just flashed thru CWMR and working well. Using No frills CPU to set overclock and governor. Running awesome with no hiccups at 1.8. I have a US phone running Leedroid also with EU radio( getting better signal than US).
