Go to ROM manager and download OC

It's not there anymore.

Yea I wonder why iit was pulled. Worked great for me...

Thankfully, if it was already downloaded, it's still in your clockworkmod/ folder. Rejoice, those who have already downloaded it.

Direct download link is in that thread.

been running it at 1.4 since last night and loving every minute of it. runs greats, not one problem..

Found out through twitter that the dev does not want anyone to distribute his kernel through the forums. However, if you ask nicely then you may receive.

Follow him on Twitter and go through his tweets. He has a link for his kernels there. Even one for his 1.8ghz kernel

Interesting. I'm not seeing much of a difference. Quadrant scores went from 1611 on adryn's 1.8 kernel to 1789 on the 1.5ghz. Seems very low for both. Wonder what's giving me issues...

I get 2200+ on quadrant at 1.5ghz.. and 2700+ at 1.8ghz using Drod's kernels..
Can't wait to try his 1.9+ kernels soon

This is absolute insanity, I can't believe this but I was running this kernel to the max (1.5ghz) and the performance was insane. 2200 - 2500 quadrant scores (even one 2532). Well, drained my battery to 15% after about 3 hrs using "ondemand" scaling. So I flashed adrenelyn's 1.9, phone ran perfectly smoothly but I wasn't happy anymore with kernel scores in the 17's and 18's. So I reflashed drod's kernel and have been running at 1209 mhz (2064, 2216, 2092 quads.), phone is still super responsive and it is now 2 in the morning, I have been running it since roughly2pm and I have 37% battery left 12 hrs. later (ondemand). I have been using the crap out of this phone: 2.5 hrs. phone calls, 1.5 web time, texts all day, followed twitter, did some theme changes. I found my go to kernel for now.

Tried the 1.8 but SetCpu widget kept reporting 1.8 even after I slowed it down. Going into the app I could tell it was follow my settings. Went back to 1.5. Temp to high for me even though stable. I might try conservative setting if widget reports right.

You have to disable the Perflock disabler in SetCPU options and you can downclock it

where is this 1.8ghz kernel?

If the 1.8 is the same as the 1.5 you don't need to disable Perflock. It has already been been disabled.
Edit: I just read in drod2169 Twitter that in order to lower the clock speed on the 1.8 you do need to disable the Perflock...sorry.

Overclock Kernel Question

So I found a kernel on the Fascinate forums that was built off of our EC10 froyo source that was from nemesis2all and I saw that he had added the ability to overclock and undervolt from within the ROM so I installed it just trying (backed up of course) and found that it does indeed work.
I then got the Voltage control app from the market and started playing around doing Quadrant scores throughout after each change. I found that at 1200 mhz I was getting 1600s instead of 1400s and the phone ran great. But when I tried 1400 mhz the phone froze up and restarted while doing the CPU section of the Quadrant test so I reverted back.
My question is, what would be safe to stay at for general use?
Second question, how do you use the voltage app to undervolt I see the settings but I don't know what to set them too.
Here is the link to the kernel

1200 has proven to be the most stable overclock, any higher and it will freeze up eventually.
With voltage control, the way it works is that you set the max clock and then it will give you increments that the phone will automatically clock to within the guidelines you give it. Then for each increment you can set the voltage it will use. Just look around and experiment with voltages, see how low you can go without having issues and never set it to apply at boot unless you know that's what you want, other than that go crazy and a reboot will fix it if you have a problem.
I recommend keeping setCPU installed along with it, that way you can still force it to underclock or overclock or whatever. It all depends on how much you use the phone and what for.

I've been running overclocked at 1.3 and undervolted at least 50 for a couple days now. Only one issue and I'm not even sure it was related as it janet happened again. I posted my settings in the otb thread if you're curious.

H'm, I tried going up to 1.3 and it would freeze up after 5 or 10 minutes every time.
Like I said, 1.2 is the only one that has proven to be safe for everybody... not each phone is exactly the same and if akellars CPU has a soldering that is done a little bit different than mine, it might allow him to clock a little higher. who knows
Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500

I've been running it for a week @ 1400 -25 undervolted and haven't had any issues. The new 1.6 gives me trouble. I don't think there's enough overvolting in that one to make it stable for pretty much anyone. I use the 1400, 800, 400, 200 steps all undervolted @50 except 1400 which as mentioned is -25. Battery life is good because during sleep it doesnt really hit the high end and by not having the other steps its snappy when in use. Fastest this phone has been by far. I don't use setcpu because I think it and the voltage app conflict. That was nemisis's instruction to install it.

Yup I'm just lucky 1.4 worked for me too but I didn't see much of a performance difference so I didn't see the need to stress the cpu out anymore than I already was. battery life had been awesome for me with my setup as well.

Undervolting

Could some give me a quick rundown on undervolting a kernel. I'm using faux's 0.4.2 oc/uv cm7 kernel. From my understanding its already undervolted but I'm confused about whether I should/can adjust those settings for better results or if I should leave them alone.
Info greatly appreciated.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Each chip is built differently, so you have to experiment on that yourself. That kernel may already be undervolted but it may not be right for you. I say adjust until you hit instability and then go from there.

Sorry to jump in on this thread as well, but could you give us some info on how you would undervolt a kernel?
I have setcpu installed, is that enough? Is it possible to break my phone?

Yes anytime you make you phone do something it didn't do from the factory there is a chance you could damage your device..its thx to all the great devs and people that test that make it easier and less likely also the more you read and understand what it is you are actually doing to the device helps alot!
If you have a kernel able to be overclocked/undervolted yes just use set CPU to adjust the settings.
All chips are different just cause a specific setting is working for someone else means it will work the same for you!
That being said I use:
Trigger 8/22 rom with faux123'a 0.4.2 kernel.
My settings:
Max-1408mhz
Min-389mhz
And have 1.1 GHz down to 389 mhz undervolted by 50 and no undervolt above 1.1
also have different profiles set for screen off and in call..
Good luck how this helps..

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I'll be more weary of fooling around with settings. I'll probably set mine similar to yours.

Thanks everyone. I understood that setcpu would be used for the changes I was more wondering what the changes would do. Like undervolting by 50 for instance, what does that give as far as battery life? Im a moderate to heavy user and I only get roughly 8 hours off the charger before it needs to be back on, great signal all day too.
I suppose I'll just have to tinker with it till I get crashes then adjust from there.

How do u get the undervoltage adjustment? i have set cpu and when i try the voltage button on set cpu, i got forced closed. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a bad install, try uninstalling setcpu then re-installing it or fix permissions in CWM or terminal
su
fix permissions

Used to have that issue too. Try the setcpu available here on the forums, I think that's the one the worked for me.

Over 1.2GHz = Lock

Hello everyone. I have had my Nexus S 4G for about 2 weeks now, and I have tried everything I can think of. However, I cannot overclock my phone higher than 1.2GHz. If I set it to 1.44GHz (or even 1.3GHz in most kernels), within the first five minutes, it locks up, requiring a battery pull. I have tried just about every kernel. Trinity, Netarchy, Matr1x, everything. However, I get the same result. I am assuming that it is just my phone. I know that when I had my Evo, it didn't want to OC past 1.1 GHz stably, but the refurb I got from Sprint ran at 1.21 GHz like a champ. I was just wondering if anyone had the same issue, and if so, if it was possible to alleviate this problem. I would love to run my Nexus at 1.44 GHz, because some of the Quadrant scores look amazing.
Thanks again for reading,
StompySan

Try v9.0 of matrix and set it to 1.3

After running Quadrant twice with it set at 1.3, I got a lockup. 100% not responsive. Had to pull battery.
EDIT: I tried benchmarking my phone with CF-Bench, thinking maybe it could have been a fluke with Quadrant, and had the exact same results. At 1.3 and 1.46GHz.

1.2??

Ok if neither of those work I need you to do 2 things.
1. Raise all voltages by 30
2. Set it to 1.2 ghz
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I can overclock without reboots to 1.2. Any higher than that is when the problem arises.

Ok now once you flash v9.0, go into setcpu and raise all voltages by 30
Now try 1.3

When you say all voltages, you mean even the ones that it already runs stably on?

No no, just the unstable ones
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

OK, so Quadrant ran fine for 5 tests, and CF-Bench ran OK as well. Should I push it up to 1.46 now?

Try it, and if you get a reboot, raise voltage for 1.46 by 10.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

No lockups yet! I have ran Quadrant 5 times, CF-Bench 2 times, and Linpack a couple times. Seems to be doing great! I am going to test it more thoroughly tomorrow (it's almost 1AM where I live, lol), but it seems great right now!
I have never increased the voltages on a phone CPU before. I have done it on my brother's computer when I overclocked his processor, but I generally try to avoid it. I am just really paranoid to mess with the amount of power going through the processor. That's why I turned to the professionals in this case. Thanks again for your extremely quick reply.

Cool! you just needed a bit of a voltage push, that's all
let's hope 1.46 ghz runs well

Mathkid Ive never been stable past 1.3 so I followed what you told him to do and what do you know! Perfectly stable so far at 1.44 on apocalypse kernel!! Might have to try your 9.0 at 1.46 soon!
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

So is there a limit to how far one should overvolt? I upped the voltage at 1440 mhz to 1550 mV. Did run rather stable except for "Lets golf HD!" which froze. I would really like to be able to run at 1440, but not sure what to do. Im using Apocalypse Talon 3.2.1.
Do you think your kernel would handle OCing better, mathkid?

Yeah you can try it out and if you need to raise voltages go ahead

Post Your Tegrak Settings Here!!!

level 1= 800 - 1075 - 1050
level 2= 400 - 1000 - 1000
level 3= 200 -900 - 980
level 4= 100 - 850 - 950
Make sure scaling is set to ondemand and set on boot is selected.
Then press Tweaks and make sure Io scheduler is set to deadline and
tweaks on boot is selected.
I got these settings from the thread linked below. (THANKS)
I have been using these settings for a few months with adrenaline shot on many different ROMS and I get at least 2 days battery life with regular use and my quad scores are 3000+. Phone never reboots, freezes, or gets hot.
I cant guarantee you will all have the same results but it mite be worth a try.

Just a quick note, be sure you test these settings out before you select set on boot or you may have some issues. Every phone is slightly different in its own way and these undervolt settings may be too low and cause instability. I've personally had to increase these voltages slightly (in the past) for stability reasons.
If you guys want to save some time and effort download my attachment, unzip it, then place it inside tegrak/overclock on your SD. Itll be loaded then into your profiles on tegrak, just select it from the list and whamo, 1.2ghz oc with undervolt settings.
