So I just flashed the ICBIN rom..i was on gingerbread went to KD1 via ODin and then flashed the ICBIN rom by CWM..seems to be running very smooth..but im only getting 980-1000 quadrant scoree which shouldnt be this low for this rom..when i flashed ICBIN i flashed ext4 converter first with the correct mounts and then flashed icbin..i also disabled voodoo lagfix...does anyone have any idea why im not able to atleast get 1500-1800 Quadrant scoresss???
why did you disable voodoo? enable it and make sure all partitions are ext4. then check your scores again. honestly, scores dont matter much. this rom is smooth and fast.
i disabled it because that is what the guide said..and on voodoo control app its showing RFS only which is the correct one..so i should be getting atleast a 1800 quad score?? but ive tried it several times and I am getting 1000.
FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
download the rom
put it onto your sdcard
go into CWM
wipe everything
(you might have to flash ext4 converter before the rom, MIGHT!)
flash rom
reboot recovery
enable voodoo
reboot
by dsexton702
i would say to flash ext4....which should ENABLE voodoo.
You said it's very smooth, so I would assume it's fast.
Thus, quadrant scores shouldn't matter. I wouldn't worry about it.
You have to enable Voodoo to get the most out of it. There's no disadvantage to it anyways.
well i enabled it and i got 1188 without overclocking..so im sure it will be higher than with that..just wondering though if you read the ICVIN forum dsexton told alot ppl that they need to disable voodoolag fix to achieve teh 1800 quad score?? he only said enable in the first post of that thread..

That would only be for /data ext4. If you want the higher scores, you need to get Bali 3.0/3.1 for that.
I honestly think ICBINB runs smoother in full ext4 though. The quadrant scores may be lower, but quadrant scores aren't everything. Also, in full ext4, you should be getting about 1,500 at 1.0 GHz.
the mod didnt work because i put bali 3.3 on the rom now no longer 3.1 and you need 3.1 to make the mod work, you were correct to disable for the mod but had the wrong kernel
ok well, i am getting 1485 with all your tegrak settings on fully charged battery. I downloaded the latest update of your rom which i believe had bali 3.3...currently voodoo is enabled.i know quadrant scores arent everything but shoudlnt i atleast be getting 1800 on ICBIN even without overlclock??.should i go back and disable voodoo?..also is it possible to get the phone to record 1080p i dont know i remember seeing it somewhere on the threads but not finding it through a search... on about phone this is what it says so you know what exactly i am running..kernel version 2.6.32.9-Bali_SGS4G_v3.3UV. Build Number ACID.froyo.kd1. Baseband version T959VUVKF2. and on the voodoo control app it currently says Status: Ext lagfix active, ext 4 on system/cache/data. on preferences ext4 conversion and ext4/system are both checked.. Thanks
if the only thing you want is quadrant scores, then flash bali 3.1 and disable voodoo and then you should be ok. im not sure how it will affect performance.
1080p is being worked on by the devs. it pretty amazing that this is even an option.

Good day, I need to O/C a rooted Samsung fascinate. Right now it is stock rom, have root priv., rom manager is installed, lagfix is done, debinged and debloated, setcpu is maxed at 1ghz, oclf is doing an awesome job of saving ram, launcher pro is good ,everything is running perfectly, and am now tethered from Laptop to Phone using barnacle tether. What is the safest way of getting to at least 1200mhz? And whats the best way of backing up my current state that I like so well. Thanks for any help you can give!!
best way to back up your device is doing a nandroid. unfortunetly since you want to overclock your processor to 1.2 your going to need to get a kernel that supports that. But to be honest with you your not going to tell the difference from your current set up now with your 1ghz maxed out using setcpu.
Thanks alot for the reply. I now have bigger issues. I get too many force closes to do anything after trying Jts stupid fast rom. In manual mode, update.zip will not install, it gives a signature verification error. So now Im trying to install stock dIo1 package but cannot start odin because PC doesn't see sd card! It recognizes for a second then I cant find it in my computer. If theres anything you can tell me I would appreciate it, im really stuck here.
Ive flashed the trinity kernel...and although it boasted high speeds.....My wifi would not work....... I then flashed the netarchy kernel and that seemed fine at first but after starting an intensive memory app it kept rebooting phone.....I seem to be having no luck with any kernels...can someone maybe suggest a kernel that just works with CM7 Rc2 and just gives me slightly better gains to make NS run a bit smoother......
Netarchy is fine. I'm using it with the latest nightly build #25. Never encountered reboots, its something else.
1. Wipe Cache & Dalvik-Cache
2. Fix Permissions
3. Flash Netarchy 1.3.0-CFS (CM7 Compatiable)
Should cause the best possible performance with the kernel.

Ditto to this.
Try the CFS version (if you haven't) IIRC it *seems* to work slightly more reliably than the BFS version.
Also I assume you're not trying to OC the CPU - if you are, just leave at default if you're getting stability issues.
try ogdobbers kernel for cm7. I have version 1.3.1.5 and its smooth as butter. I have tried others but they seem unstable and I also am not a fan of overclocking my phone. Its a stock kernel with the ext4 hack that makes your phone run very fast and smooth without risks of overclocking. I haven't had a single problem with it and have been running it for about a month now.

All of netarchy's kernels are not OC'd by default. To OC it you have to manually do it. So what you said about kernels being OC'd is wrong. This thread has only mentioned Netarchy's kernel so I'm assuming that you thought Netarchy's kernel OC'd by default. It's automatically set at stock speeds. It includes ext4 hack as well.
Ogdoober's modified stock is just too plain for me.
What's this app that you're talking about? Was it a game?
I've only used Netarchy's so far and never had a problem. Make sure to at least try the CFS version. My phone doesn't like 1.4 ghz, but I've used it without any problems at 1.2 ghz. Right now I'm back to stock speed since I don't see any benefits to overclocking it for my usages.

Correct. My builds enable the ability to over clock, but run at stock speeds by default. It's always your choice.
For what it's worth, I usually run at stock myself ;D
Thanks too all of you...much appreciated....coming over from the DHD and incredible S Forums was a bit daunting....but you guys are really helpful.....
I've been running imnuts 0115 PB&J Kernel & Eclipse v1.1 for awhile and I loved it despite a few random FC's. I upgraded to Eclipse v1.3 Monday and it seems much more stable, I decided to do a quadrant just to see, and my score was super low.. like a 1250? I think it should be much faster, so I think I tracked the issue to not everything using ext4, using terminal emulator I found that data and cache are both still rfs.
What I have been doing is using ODIN to flash debloated_deodexed_ep4d.tar.md5, then flashing imnuts kernel, and then Eclipse. Can anyone suggest a kernel that will handle the ext4 conversion prior to flashing PB&J? The phone doesn't feel slow, but if it can be faster, I'm all for it
Eclipse v1.4 + PBJ kernel is doing wonders for me.
About quadrants...cool story bro!
haha oh I have absolutely no plans to run any other kernel/ROM combo... just looking for something to do the RFS > EXT4 conversion prior to flashing PB&J kernel.
There is a version of TweakStock with PJB that auto converts to ext4. Or you could flash IMO 4.0 kernel which will auto convert to ext4, then u can flash PJB. Why r u on eclipse 1.3 anyway? 1.4 has been for a couple months now. I think u have to flash with CWM tho, not sure if u can use odin.
I just grabbed the latest release over at rootzwiki. Obviously outdated haha, time to do a full update. Thanks for the tips.
They recently updated Quadrant to be more accurate. All scores are lower than they used to be.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
I agree

I used to be me but then I took an arrow to the knee!
If you do everything right with PBJ kernel overclock at 1200 with ext4 you should able to reach 2400 with quadrant. Overclocking above 1200 and achieved over 2500 quadrant...you're blessed, cause you have a "high quality silicon" chip in your phone.
I have been having issues getting my TF101 to overclock in ICS. I have tried Codename Android, CM9, TeamEOS, and Revolver, and ALL of them I could not overclock in. I have tried SetCPU, No-Frills, and (if applicable) the built in frequency control. They all show that the maximum frequency is 1000MHz. I have no clue what is going wrong here. They all were able to gain Superuser, so that isn't the problem. Any and all help would be highly appreciated. I just have no clue what I could be doing wrong.

Antutu CPUMaster Free works for me on Revolver4_1.3.1 and Blades_meh kernel. You have to manually go into it after installing a OC kernel and set the min and max frequencies and choose a governor and there's a checkbox to tell it to set these at boot. After that it works all day everyday for me up to 1680MHz and deep sleep works, too.

Just tried Antutu CPU Master. Same issues. It says that my max frequency is 1000MHz.
Have you manually loaded a new kernel to replace the stock one? Setcpu and the like only modify settings that a kernel exposes, and the default kernel does not allow anything higher then 1000.

Yes. After doing so, I also go into my settings and clear the cache and data from SetCPU, so I could set it up again. Still, I am getting max 1000MHz.

Thanks for trying to help, but I have found my problem. My recovery was still borked from when I tried flashing the official one in Rom Manager. Wiped my recovery, installed the roach recovery, reflashed all of my files, and now I am good to go. I feel like a derp now. LOL
Same issue w/ OC...but wipe recovery?
Your issue sounds exactly like the one I am currently having.
I would like to try your fix...but I am not understanding how the "wipe recovery" process goes. Would you mind please explaining that in more detail? Im pretty sure it IS NOT as simple as just doing a complete cache/data wipe then flashing the recovery over itself is it?
I am:
ViperMOD Prime rooted
ClockworkRecoveryMOD installed (but I think I may have fubar'd it doing the same thing you did trying to recover stock recovery)
FROZN 1.0.9 rom w/ included Guevor kernel and NoFrills CPU app
...but none of the CPU apps will let me OC...wether I flash the kernel seperate from the ROM or use the one included w/ the ROM.
Hope you can help me.
UPDATE: apparently this inability to OC the kernel in any way is happening to those of us experiencing the CWM bootloop issue...so since the loader goes immediately to CWM it never runs the flashed kernel.
So in these forums is a thread to fix the CWM bootloop and if you follow the instructions carefully, you fix the bootloop and thus allowing the flashed kernels a chance to actually install. I chose the Roach method which you can install the code using Terminal Emulator pretty intuitively. I didnt choose the other method because I didnt want to mess w/ setting up an ADB terminal on my PC, which seemed MUCH more difficult.
So...now FINALLY
ViperMOD Prime rooted
ClockworkMOD Touch Recovery 5.8.8
FROZN 1.0.9 ROM (w/ built-in Guevor kernel @ 1.2 default) and am OCd @ 1.54 (np's at all so far, lightning fast, havent even tried 1.6 or 1.7).
Only issue so far is File Manager app crashes on startup...which isnt good because now the other file manager app I tried doesnt see my ext_SDcard...the stock File Manager did.
I've tried using both tastyMEH and Blades using Revolver, CM9 and Android HD, and the stock ICS ROM, using Set CPU and ROM Toolbox pro to try and overclock. I've flashed the ROM first and then the Kernel, and the Kernel and then the ROM. Nothing I've done thus far has enabled me to set the CPU sliders past 1000 mhz. I know people are running these combos and getting 1.6-1.8 clocks. What am I screwing up? I'm using Clockwork Mod recovery to flash. I couldn't even get CM9 to boot.
Thanks so much in advance

When you flash the kernel go to the about section in android and make sure the flash was actually successful.

Thanks, this may be a step in the right direction. However I've tried 3 times now to flash the 5.8 touch to no avail. Everytime I reboot I end up with standard 5.5.0.4. I tried flashing with CWM. What am I doing wrong? If it helps ever since I flashed CWM, if the tablet retboots for any reason it automatically boots into CWM, and I have to cold boot into Android manually using the power and volume rocker.
Thanks again-

Because your version of CWM is bad. You need to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530337

Hi Guys....I'm posting here because I don't have the privileges to post on the official Trinity Kernel thread. I just flashed the kernel this morning and while I'm more than satisfied with the performance I'm a little worried that it simply won't let me choose the CPU frequency. It simply maxes out at 3.14 Ghz ...which is way more than I actually need or want...and whenever I try to go to a more safe 2.3- 2.4 Ghz it simply won't change....tried flashing older versions but it just the same. Is it safe for me to keep it like this or should I try another kernel? Thanks

what do you mean it wont let you chose cpu frequency? by default, trinity maxes at 2260mhz btw, not 3014mhz. you can set it manually to 3014mhz, but chances are that your phone will not be able to run at 3014mhz, very few can. anyways, you need to install a cpu control app to adjust your cpu speed, i use the trinity kernel toolbox, but there are others around.

When flashed, some kernels break root access. Flash the latest supersu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053), and then you'll be able to use an app like TKT or trickster to adjust CPU. I use Trinity mostly, and sometimes have this issue if I forget to flash supersu,
also you need to have busybox installed if you are already using a cpu control app. the cpu control app would need busybox to work properly.

Hi. Thanks for your quick reply. What I meant to say is that I use the trinity kernel toolbox but whatever cpu speed I choose it always goes back to 3014mhz...I even tried underclocking...just for the sake of it but nothing...I tried to go default with 2260 mhz but I still get 3014mhz in antutu and geekbench 3. Did a benchmark with antutu and I get 32460 when it should be around 24000. I don't know if I should be worried or glad. While my N5 isn't getting any hotter my past ock experiences tell me that I shouldn't push it. Am I doing something wrong?

Antutu and Geekbench 3 show you the max frequency that your phone can go up to on your Nexus 5. If the kernel is overclockable, then these benchmarks will show you the max frequency, in Trinity kernel's case, 3.1Ghz. If everything looks right in the Trinity Toolbox app, then you're good to go. Trinity doesn't come overclocked by default.

well, you are not running your phone at 3014mhz. a 32000+ in antutu is average for 2260mhz considering you are running the dalvik/bionic patches(your rom probably includes them. i getvabove 40000 at 2.5ghz, cant imagine what it woukd becat 3014mhz! btw, what rom are you running? anyways, it sounds to me as you dont have busybox installed, tkt needs it to work properly. go to the play store, find the busybox app by stericson, install it, open it, let it do its thing, then install it and reboot. that should get tkt working properly. like i said, the default trinity top cpu speed is 2260mhz and no higher.
