[Q] Overclocking ROM-free

I want to overclock the NS without having to replace the rom. Would this be possible? Are there additional risk associated with overclocking without replacing the ROM?
Thanks in advance!
Yes you can. All you need is root and clockwork recovery. Then download Netarchy's kernel. I know for sure that his kernel works on stock rom since he said so himself. I don't know about Trinity kernel though.
I run stock and I've tried both the trinity stock kernel and netarchy cfs kernel OC @ 1.2ghz. Personally I've had better results on the netarchy kernel.

Can I put the stock kernel if I don't like the netarchy kernel? Because I use Bluetooth and wifi always and i just wanted to get a little bit more of my NS!
Make a nandroid backup of the stock rom then flash the kernel. I use netarchy every day and am usually on wifi with my bt earpiece in.

I'm having a hard time finding how to flash the kernel (found a lot about how to flash the ROM though).
Would someone link me a FAQ or list some quick instructions on how to go about it?
I have ROM manager installed already (woot!)
Thanks again!

same thing as flashing a ROM.
just make sure if you're flashing a kernel over stock.. make sure its the kernel built for the "stock" rom and not a kernel for CM7 or Bionix etc

Assuming the kernel you want is clockwork compatible, put the zip file of it in your sdcard.
Boot to clockwork recovery either via ROM Mgr (if you're rooted) or via fastboot if you're not.
In Clockwork, find the menu option to install a update/file/zip from sdcard. Select that option, then navigate with the volume keys to the zip file for the kernel. Select it by pushing the power button. Select and answer yes for the are you sure warning. Wait for it to give you a update applied successfully message.
Navigate up to where you can select reboot, and reboot.
You should be on your new kernel.
I WOULD ALWAYS RUN A NAND BACKUP FROM CLOCKWORK BEFORE MESSING WITH THIS STUFF. And ideally, I would keep a copy of that backup on my laptop or dropbox account, not just my sdcard on the phone.
Thanks for all your (very quick) help!
I'm currently running Netarchy's 1.2.2 BFS @ 1.3 and it definitely feels a big snappier with loading some programs
I put today the netarchy kernel 1.2.2 and i have one question...
Where is the VooDoo Improvements? I didn't find the application!
For me the kernel is stable and wifi works even when bluetooth is disabled!

[Q] How to run a custom kernel with Espresso Rom Nightly [Runnymede SIII]

OK, so I am running Espresso Rom Nightly [Runnymede SIII], but I wanted to try the TWGB kernel to see if it will stop phone calls from starting out stupidly loud. However when I flash the kernel with Odin, it doesn't boot past the SAMSUNG boot splash. Currently my baseband version is ED05, and my CWM is Glitch Kernel - CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.4, I don't know if that matters.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the kernel simply incompatible?
Thank you all in advance!!

possible to have voodoo recovery on stock firmware?

I would really like to know if this is possible. having issues and thinking of going back to stock. can anyone tell me how to specifically install voodoo on stock kj2 firmware?
I found a post in the dev section that has a flashable kernel with voodoo. possible to flash that kernel to stock rooted firmware?
I went back to stock, rooted, installed clockworkmod, flashed the bali kernel, and now i have voodoo and it is awesome! had i known all about voodoo and known i could have it just by flashing a kernel, I never would have flashed a custom rom.

[Q] Kernel Flash Help...

Currently running a SkyRocket i727 with GB 2.3.5. I have ROM Manager, Root Explorer and ROM Toolbox installed and the device is rooted. Also flashed CWM. I would like to flash my kernel to one that allows me to replace/modify the boot animation. I tried this one from Da_G:
ponack.net/TPC/dagnarf/cwm-ke...el-0.43-v2.zip
On reboot, I get a "Process system....." failure and the phone won't do anything. Pulled the battery, booted in CWM and restored from backup. Phone is working now.
Can someone help me with doing a kernel flash that will work? The ROM is the stock ROM. I was told that you can flash the kernel without having to flash a new ROM.
Thanks.
This is my favourite gb kernel

If that doesn't work try Eugene's sgs2 streamline kernel

[Q] Sch-i535 [ml1] Unable to get custom kernel flashed properly

Hey peeps, I'm running slapnuts v1.4 rom on a d2vzw gs3 vrucml1 baseband. The rom is supposed to be running with Lean Kernel v4.0 but for some reason I am stuck with the stock kernel. I have also tried flashing Lean Kernel by itself but with no success, actually whenever I flash it I just end up losing wifi and having to flash the ml1 modules back. I could use some help here, thanks!
Another thing that I could use some clarification on, Safestrap directs users to install the kernel modules after flashing a rom (otherwise we would be without working wifi). The problem I'm seeing here though is whenever a kernel is flashed, wifi is no longer working, in other words, the module is gone and has to be re-flashed which I am assuming (only because I've been unable to get a kernel up and running) would remove the kernel all over again and visa versa.
Am I just doing something wrong or does it seem that something is broken here?

You cannot flash a custom kernel on TouchWiz 4.3+. You must use the stock kernel. That's the way that Safestrap works on the S3 given the limitations created by Samsung.
