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

awesome. I just prefer CFS because with BFS the boot animation doesn't show, and it bothers me.

i flashed the BFS first, and lost my boot animation. Then i switched to the CFS, and the boot animation still didnt appear.
Any ideas as to how i can get it back?
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.
Thanks,

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

Thanks, yeah i felt a little bad posting the question here. Though ive been an avid user for a long time i have never posted so i didnt have sufficient rites to post in the decelopment section yet : (

[Q] Suggestion for new ROM for Nexus S

Currently running MIUI 1.99 with Matr1x #5 kernel. Looking to flash a new ROM and/or kernel as it's been awhile. There's so many of each that I don't know where to start. My main priorities are stability and speed.
The only other ROM I've used is Cyanogenmod but I had a lot of issues with random reboots. Have these issues gotten better?
Any ROM suggestions? Thanks

Rooted stock with Matr1x. I recently switched back after months on CM7 doing the nightly flash routine. Don't miss it a single bit.

I don't even remember what the stock rom is like. I got cyanogen almost inmediately after getting my phone. Perhaps I'll try stock... what's the best way to go about doing this? Do i need to unroot my phone?

backup apps with titanium backup + factory reset (wipe data/cache/dalvik) + flash stock rom.
here you can find a great collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
you DO loose root by flashing a stock rom, but you just have to re-flash superuser (and maybe cwm if needed). I find the stock gingerbread rom very fast and reliable.
Plus, you'll receive the ICS ota when it's ready
(but you'll need to flash the stock recovery)

Wait another 2-3 weeks and flash ice cream sandwich.

Flash deck 1.3. Really fast stable and great battery life. Its just like stock rom with a few extra tweaks. Has some of cm7 mods without the bloat. Has toggle switches on the drop down and some status bar tweaks but very stable and like I said its close to stock. Running it with matrix 9.0. Give it try.

Sorry man its in the nexus s 4g dev section but i cant find it on the GSM dev section. You can always try oxygen rom which is very similar to deck which I was running before I flashed deck. Has the same kind of tweaks more or less. Was also a really good rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285243

give carbon a shot. it's based on oxygen but gives better performance than any rom i've used since getting this phone

Nexus mv paired with franco kernel
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

I'd suggest NSCollab and a trinity kernel. This combo worked well for me but I caught the flashing bug since getting this Nexus S and now I'm off to try Nexus MV.

you should try superosr rom (AOSP), very fast and include CM settings as well

I've been trying all NS Roms, and I'll prefer NSCollab because,
-Fast and stable (Near 5000 in quadrant)
-Never had a random reboot
-Extremely stable at 1,2GHz
-Probably the best CM7-based ROM
I don't give a opinion about which kernel u need to use, because they are all awesome, for the highest score in Quadrant, use the Trinity TUV kernel.
But I like the Netarchy or Matr1x kernel more because they are more stable in my eyes. I hope this will give you some more information
U can also wait for ICS (IceCream Sandwich), it will be awesome too.

I'd suggest stock rom + stock kernel.
lower quadrant score but higher performance

Oxygen 2.3 with Matr1x
4097 quadrant at 1,3Ghz.

*UPDATE*
Try the Franco.Kernel, tested it, very stable and high performance.
Greets.

Matr1x all the way bud lmao

Frustrating to install a kernel

Hello Xda-developers community!
I have been having consecutive problems with trying to flash a custom kernel onto my Lg G2x.
I can successfully flash any custom ROM with ease, though when I go to flash the kernel, it installs successfully, but upon reboot the device never loads.
I gave it a good 10 minutes to load, though just sits at a black screen.
I'm not sure if I am doing something rong or not.
One of my attempts was to flash the Trinity kernel with CM7 already on my G2x, though upon successful installation, during reboot I simply get about a 5-10 second android robot logo, and then the screen just sits at black not loading.
If anyone would mind helping me solve this problem, or perhaps tell me if I am doing something wrong, I would greatly appreciate it!

If it doesn't boot then the kernel is not compatible with your rom. If you are running CM7 nightlies only the kernel supplied with it is compatible.

I have the latest CM7 release for the g2x at the moment.
I tried the Trinity Kernel with Bionix 2 and CM7, so far the same result.
I saw a you tube video promoting someone who had the Bionix 2 ROM and Trinity Kernel with each other. I tried flashing them both, but it never booted.
Are there any roms compatible with CM7 at the moment?
Or is it only the Eagle's blood ROM that has kernel compatibilities for the g2x.

The only kernels compatible with CM7 nightlies are the kernels packaged with the update zip for that nightly. Flashing anything else is just a waste of time and you are going to keep frustrating yourself to no end.

When you say the latest cm 7 for the G2x do you mean the latest nightly or the latest stable release 7.1? If you have the 7.1 you should be able to use the trinity ELP but if you are using a nightly build then you can only use whatever came with that build as Jboxer said already.
Edit There are a few that you can use for 7.1 not just trinity ELP just look in the thread for each kernel and they say which ROMS they are compatible with. Also eaglesblood 2.4 is based of cm7 so if it workes on EB 2.4 then it will work on cm 7.1. Also when you flash a kernel make sure you clear the cache and dalvik cache. And wehen you boot up for the firsdt time after clearing the dalvik cache it could take 10 min to boot up mikne usually takes about 5 minutes but I have seen it take up to 10 so keep that in mind.

I solved the problem, thanks! Now I was looking around for roms and I found an miui rom for the g2x.
I like the ROM, so any idea what kernel would work with that?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Under developement, faux's kernels (based off cm7). 3 different types, cm7 stable, nightlies and a different version for nightlies. Miui works with one of his cm7 kernels. I believe it is 44s

[Q] What's your favourite ICS ROM?

Hello NS community! I exchanged my Desire for my fiancee's NS and now I'm flash happy.
I intentionally did not ask what the BEST ROM was to avoid a flame war, so please share what you find to be your FAVOURITE ICS flavour.
Until now I tried CyberGR-MOD v1 but it was very unstable for me so I was unimpressed. Next up on the flash list are CM9 Alpha 18 and Peter Alfonso's ROM.
Suggestions?

Peter Alfonso ICS

Thanks, for now I'm running CM9 Alpha18 and seems to be quite stable.

I just flashed bixies' ROM last night and it seems to be very stable so far.
IMO, the real fun with Nexus S is the kernel, we have many great kernels for you to play with

Do tell!
Currently I'm using Matr1x-cfs_v14.0Matr1x-cfs_v14.0. OCed at 1460 and no FCs, no reboots, no freezes, just buttery smooth performance.
Slightly off-topic, but I have to say I'm terribly impressed withe the Nexus S - it's a very powerful device.

It has been feeling very smooth, at least in the few hours I've used it. We'll see how it goes.

AOSP+ and Matrix 14 cfs gives me a great combination of performance and battery life. I tried ICUP too and it gives great performance but battery life is better with Matrix.

So is CM9 smooth and stable enough to be used as my everyday ROM? Also, are there any posts or wikis about all the different kernels, guides on flashing and their pros and cons? My last dev device was a Blade and there weren't nearly as many different kernels and options available for that. Oh, and does CM9 come with a kernel..I don't need to flash anything else?

Yes CM9 comes with it's own kernel. It's a mod on the 3.0.8 kernel. CM9 been running on my phone for 6 days now without a single reboot and FC.

What I normally do is:
* do a full wipe (system, data, cache) if you are flashing a different ROM
* flash ROM first, reboot to make sure it runs properly
* flash kernel, wipe dalvik-cache (or also cache, just in case)
Always flash a ROM that says it supports your phone model. Also make sure that if you're using ICS ROM then flash an ICS kernel. On the other hand, if you're using GB ROM then flash a GB kernel.

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
