Overclock Aria

okay after reading a bit more and help from other users finally got this working and maybe itll be help to someone else
PHONE MUST BE ROOTED CHECK OUT THE ROOTING THREAD
AND DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK UNDERSTAND THE RISK OF OC
THE ARIA IS ALREADY PRETTY ZIPPY SO PERSONAL CHOICE
1. grab any rom cm6 or liberated, then go into the kernel thread and download the kernel pack
some people are reporting certain versions are breaking wifi,3g etc
i used oc768-v3.2 legend zip wifi working no issues plus this is sufficient for me
but if it doesnt work play around with diff kernels
2. boot into recovery mode vol down and power
3. flash your rom then flash the kernel pack and reboot
4. download and setcpu app and start OC
im not taking any credit for any of this but i wanna thank for everyone who worked on this
i just simply wanted to write this because i wanted to try this but i got alot of diff info
but after other users made a few key points decided to write this
anyone feel free to add to this and if i made any errors or whatever mods go ahead and change it

Read ,Search ,Read . I had no luck with the 3.5 kernels tho.

What you want is some hand holding it looks like.

I figured this all out for myself by reading the forum.....
but anyway I'll answer it in the foolish hope of no more people asking the same questions
1. download what files....? if your talking about roms i think youll know where to go after reading this post.
2. you can use whatever rom you like, the main two on this forum and as far as I know on the aria full stop are Liberated and Cyanogen Mod 6. Liberated is based on the stock aria rom so its pretty much what your used to with your stock aria (minus the AT&T rubbish plus a few added perks). Cyanogen Mod 6 is based on bare android so it doesn't have all the sense ui, it is also based on froyo which is the version above eclair (which is what is running on your base aria/ liberated rom). Do not ask which rom to use, it is up to personal preference you just have to try both and see which one you like.
3. you flash a kernel the same way you install a rom on your phone except instead of selecting the rom .zip file you select the kernel .zip file. You should first flash a rom and then afterwards flash the kernel. As ycode90 said some kernels don't work so just go through the process again and try another one, the 3.2 825 kernel was working on liberated for me so try that one.

All OC kernals broke wifi or mobile network on my buddies Aria, I left him with the stock kernal from CM6.

no sir thats not the case see how after some user input sheds new light
now i can head back to square one
f it if i get it working ill post a how to

overclock went great but it keeps crashing my swype keyboard and livewallpaper
did a nandroid restore and it went back to normal and reflashed the kernel and it did it again

Has been my exp. LWP and overclock do not play well together.

Yup, it had been my experience that these OC kernels and *anything* that utilizes gpu sucks. There isn't a kernel for the aria at this time, and by using these kernels here you are increasing cpu performance at the expense of gpu performance. I don't believe its worth it at all just for a linpack number.

Yep patiently waiting for an ARIA kernel.

, just need to get the latest nightly, 87 so that bluetooth, wifi, and network all works great.
Good Luck

I don't understand how to flash the kernel or rom. I see no options in Recovery. I'm on CM6.0.2.1 trying to use oc844-v3.5-legend-cm-2.6.29-signed. Help?

you install it the same way you installed the CM6 Rom. Put the kernel zip on your SD card and install the zip via Clockwork. Also anytime you flash a new Rom you will have to reflash the overclock kernel.

Pointless upgrading to froyo ?

So who be upgrading to froyo now that its available ?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

Pointless thread.

The only think that The update is good for is the source code.

just updated. now ill wait for some ROMs to finally start flashing.

Its been available, only people who will upgrade to it are on stock anyways.

How is it ? I'm running. Firefly 2.2 suckerpunch kernel # 51 and a theme by darky u think its worth for me to flash back to stock and upgrade

If you ask me, not a chance.

basically upgrade if you're bored. its for folks who dont want to flash custom roms more or less. all the customized stuff the devs on here offer is way better than official 2.2
all in all not worth it. still havent found a lagfix yet but have figured out how to root/install cwm
now i wait for the first dev to create a rom i can test

I'm only curious if gps is actually better, but sounds like it's not. Shocking...

There's a whole thread full of posts from people who already upgraded. The title is secret, though, so you might have missed it. It has the words "Official Froyo" in it.

If you haven't tried it, how do you know if it's better or not?
You might want to see this post. Supercurio, who developed SPeedMod, has injected Voodoo Lagfix into the Rogers Froyo Kernel, it will work for AT&T Froyo. I have better speeds and performance than on any custom ROM or SpeedMod. Try it out.

Have you tried getting into LBS test mode and resetting your GPS Data?
*#*#3214789650#*#*
Then select delete GPS Data
Also, first locks on new software take longer the first time. If you do the above, it should help.

Didn't take longer when I flashed Cog or supernova.
I didn't flash KB1 but not surprised there are still issues. GPS data, servers and all that won't fix broken hardware.

Well, maybe just give it a try. It can't hurt.
I guess we're lucky in Canada, haven't seen anyone here with these GPS issues.

You guys act as if these custom roms are without bugs. I have flashed many of them and im back on stock because there is always something wrong. besides its not that hard to remove the bloatware yourself. My gps hasnt ever worked on any custom rom dont know if it will on knew one since it wont let me upgrade. problems with call logs showing incorrectly or problems with txt, bt crashes. I have no problems on stock at all, removed all att stuff and it is the way i want it, I dont even use the themes that come with em only a few i seen that i liked and had to buy seperately to make it complete.

Well put. Custom ROMs are basically skinned stock I9000/2.2 ROMs anyway, with bloatware stripped out, other functionality added, and custom kernels and modems.
The beauty of a stock ROM, rooted, with boatware removed(TiBu) and a voodoo injected kernel is better stability, functionality, and reliability. A lot of people here who use custom ROMs have never had access to a native 2.2 stock ROM, and thereby have nothing to compare it to, yet they are stating that custom ROMs are better than 2.2 stock, but how would they know? They've never tried it. Why not try it out? We already have a working 2.2 kernel with Voodoo Lagfix, and I can't say it enough: for me, better speeds, better reliability, faster performance, etc.
However, I'd like to see what happens when we can start making custom ROMs based on 2.2 rather than I9000 though. Non of this wishy washy kernel/modem compatibility etc. It will be better for everyone.

Help Picking A Rom

I rooted my device with a kernel and I have EE4. What rom will be good? I had the thunderbolt and used CM7. I know the droid charge dont have that yet. Im a bit confused about all the different numbers that i see around the forums. With the thunderbolt all you needed to know is which radio to have installed with the rom. Some please point me to the good roms that will work.
Im stock right now with root. EE4

I'd recommend Eclipse 1.3.1 for SURE. Having tried both GC and Humble beforehand I can seriously say Eclipse is great. I just like how much better Eclipse looks over the other ones. Sure themes can change that but just try Eclipse out and see how it goes. If you don't like Eclipse then Humble is certainly the one you will like.
If you're worried about losing apps or other such things just download Titanium Backup(just pay for the full version, it's much better if you are going to backup/restore alot).
also, this should be in the general section

can you shoot me a link? Also same way to install like on my thunderbolt right? Either use rom manager and select the rom on my sd card or boot into recovery?

gummy, eclipse, and humble are all great. I have found trade offs with each but the developers are actively involved in the forum and are constantly working on their roms to you just have to find which one you like best...but you will switch from time to time anyway if you are like the rest of us
I have stayed away from the GB roms since there seem to be a few bugs and I was never really impressed with GB on my DX. I still run froyo on that phone.

Ya, stick with Froyo for now.
I've used both Eclipse & Humble and both have benefits. I prefer Eclipse 1.3.1 for now...very fast, decent battery & good looking GUI.

if i install eclipse 1.3.1 will i lose root since i used a kernel to get root?

Nope.
Purchase Titanium Backup if you have not. Back up all your apps/system aps. Download an app to back up your SMS if you want and boot into recovery.
Wipe data, cache, go to advanced and wipe delvik. Back to main screen and install rom from sd card and reinstall your info and data.

No you won't lose root. You need to read the faq in the general section. Charge is very different than TB. Don't use rom manager for any thing. It doesn't work w/ the charge.

I tend to disagree with the froyo. IMO from a rom developer standpoint, even a buggy GB rom is better than froyo, it lacks many things. Im using the Eclipse GB rom now, and really very little in buggy. Now GB roms are lacking a solid kernel that you can undervolt and overlock, the Eclipse GB does lag at times (no i have not yet tried to do the EXT4 hack then used a GB rom.
One thing im not fond of with this phone coming from a EVO 4G and MT4G is that its super laggy, i know it works better with ext4... also the recovery way... when i reboot into recovery... i have to reboot to it.. then pull the battery then it will boot into recovery.

Idk, but I can't get away from Eclipse 1.2. It runs the fastest out of any rom.

Unless I am missing something somewhere I don't believe there is lagfix for GB? If so it would tend to be more "laggy". I notice no lag using froyo and lagfix enabled. I do not overclock.

wait till imnutz finishes the aosp vendor repo for the charge... when AOSP 2.3.4 roms start coming out... it will change the whole face of the ROM world for the charge.

that it says no kernel is included with rom. So do I just keep the kernel I have that gave me root or do I flash the rom then the new kernel the dev recommends?

Like others, I'm on Eclipse 1.3.1 and imnuts's 7/31 kernel. Right now, I don't think that gb offers anything more than the froyo roms for this phone.

how are people's battery with the eclipse rom?

It may have been mentioned but do not use ROM manager. I am not sure of the exact reasons why, but but it doesn't play well with this phone or the Fascinate

so flash the rom then flash the kernel?

Just flash the rom. You only need to flash a kernel if you are planning on changing it. If you already have the kernel you are planning on running with the rom just wipe data and install the rom.
I am running the froyo eclipse with the honeycomb theme and it is awesome. Battery life is great and I would highly recommend it. I am running it with imnuts non overclocked voodoo kernel.

Kernel Question

So my wife wants her Inspire as stock as possible, but she wanted bloat removed and it rooted. So I installed the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192372&highlight=2.47.502.7rtdx
Just the latest AT&T GM ROM rooted and bloat removed. Her radio, ril, and software:
Radio - 12.59.60.26U_26.11.04.21_M
RIL - 2.2.0160HM
Software - 2.47.502.7rtdx
What kernel would you recommend? She complains about the sound some and I saw some kernels have fixes. I can't seem to find a kernel that is made for the stock ROM. She doesn't want a ROM so I'm leaving her phone alone as much as possible, just looking for a solid kernel with as much speed/stability as possible hopefully with the audio fix.
TIA

If you're going to use the stock ROM then you should probably stick with the stock kernel. However, if you're feeling adventurous you can try a Lordmod Sense kernel (post #2), or LeeDroid kernel. These kernels are great for custom Sense ROMs and come highly recommended, but I've never seen anyone mention using using them on the stock ROM. Be sure to make a nandroid backup first, in case you end up in a boot loop or you want to revert back to stock kernel.
Regarding the "audio fix" you're talking about...I don't know if you're going to see much improvement with a different kernel, but it's worth a shot. The Inspire doesn't have particularly great audio (especially if your wife is coming from an iPhone or something else with good audio). Lordmod does boost the volume a bit, if that is her complaint. Let us know your results either way.

2.6.35.10 is the stock kernel. Browse the development forum for kernels based off of this. Any of these should work. You will have to play with them to see what works best for you. The kernel that is in her Rom has the nesessary sound files. If you want it to just be louder than there are some kernels that boost sound, but as far as quality, this is as good as it gets.

[Q] Stock ROM I997UCKK3 [2.3.6] stable?

First of all, I am a iphone convert (this week) and bought an Infuse. love the phone and android. I am a noob and have a noob question:
I would love to upgrade to gingerbread and don't want to root. I believe I can do that with the stock ROMs. My question is a stock ROM such as ROM I997UCKK3 [2.3.6] 100% stable with everything working?
I use my phone for business so I can't have calls not come thru or other problems on it.

I've installed every single stock leak there is (I hate ugly modded roms). KK3 is NOT the way to go. KK4 was just released and currently it's not rooted and runs beautifully. Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, data and phone are all working great. 9 times out of 10 the rooted versions suck anyways because they use a buggy kernal that wasn't meant for it. There's usually some kind of trade off with rooted roms so if you don't care about rooting, grab KK4 and flash with ODIN.

I've been playing with it all day and I have yet to find any issues. All apps work, no shutdowns, no lagging, no dropped wifi, no data switching, no bluetooth problems...nothing. Definately one step closer to "official".

the custom kernel is usually packaged so people have cwm and dont get in a panic not being able to flash out of the rom the same way they flashed it. if i knew how to repack the initramfs id give a shot at making a more stock kernel with cwm. but unfortunately like the rom chefs here i dont have that knowledge. you can absolutely have kk4 rooted without a rogers based kernel, it just means flashing twice. maybe ill fill that gap since flashing the stock kernel back to the phone is too much for many people to figure out. the phone retains root if you flash the stock kernel. what is going on is there is a script in the custom kernel that copies the su file and simlinks it while the phone boots in an insecure state. once root is there it stays unless you flash the rom. after the phone is rooted the kernel has zero effect on root privledges.
