Unfortunately, no.

Installation
1. Flash a recovery image
2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)
3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied.
4. Wipe data+cache before rebooting. You should wipe unless you are already on a Froyo ROM.

Swap:
To enable swap on partition 3 or partition 2 (it will check partition 3 first and if it doesn't exist it will try partition 2)
$ su
# sdswap.sh enable
$ su
# sdswap.sh disable
Compcache:
If you are using are already using a swap partition on your SD-card, then you most likely shouldn't enable compcache. But if you do not want to partition your SD-card then compcache can be a good alternative.
Read more about how Compcache works here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compcache
Enable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh enable
Type free to confirm you now have 32Mb swap
Disable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh disable
Type free to confirm you now have 0Mb swap
Advanced users
Compcache size, settings and swappiness is setup in /system/bin/compcache.sh
If you are an advanced user, you'll know how to proceed from here...

Some questions before putting this on, since I'm always a noob with installing new ROMs...
1) Is this in a stable and smooth stage yet (with everything working properly) or is this still in developmental stages? What is the difference between this and cas_xp's?
2) I'm currently running The Celestial Teapot at 652mhz, will this be noticeably slower considering it doesn't have overclock (does it?). What's the deal in regards to overclocking?
3) I can install this fine (flashing it) over Kalt Kaffe's TCT ROM (replacing it with this one) or do I have to somehow get TCT off first?
Forgive me if my questions are nooby, I always prefer to overask (woohoo new word) in regards to ROMs
Whatever the case, thanks for working on this! Awesome (really) if it works perfectly, but even if not, I like seeing any development with U8100.

Unfortunately, it won't boot on huawei u8110.
I've tried to delete data/fatory reset, but it didn't help.

1)This is @cas_xp's but modded.
2)I haven't tested yet. But the previous version wasn't as laggy. I'm going to try to bring OC in. To reduce lag.
3) You should probably wipe before coming to this ROM . I should probably put a short flashing guide in.

It will take a long time to boot for the first time. It is deodexed.

I left it for 5 minutes to boot. Do I have to wait longer?
OK. I'll try one more time.
edit:
No, rom doesn't boot neither after 10 minutes. It is stuck on my Movistar initial splash screen.

Does this mean you haven't tested the rom at all and don't know if it works or merely that you haven't tested on the U8110 but have tested it on the U8100 only?
I assume the latter, but I'd rather double check

Does the problem about wifi existing on cas_xp's ROM still exists?
I mean, automatical rebooting when stopping wifi..

Any bugs in his ROM should also be in here. If and when I correct them I will post.

Yeah current bugs are: wifi on reboot bug, laggy rom,d-pad click, calibration, its a pain, but overall nice try tahahawa i think once you can test by yourself you will improve it a lot.

this is only v0.1 this has a long road ahead of its developement so this won't be as good as or better than my heroc specific script....yet

updated first post with instructions for removing network tweak you don't need please do that after you flash one of the two scripts

MP Works on.Optimus S Cm7 XD idk if its the placebo or.not.but.this is.blazing fast!
Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk

yup this is the place to report if its fast not fast, lagging, boot looping.....any and everything about this tweak this was major in the heroc forums so i HAD to make it completely universal for android

Can I flash bl over MP? Is there any difference between the.two besides deleting battery stats ?
Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk

bl = battery life
mp = more performance
you can't use both....if you flash bl then mp...mp will be in effect....vis versa mp then bl being flashed only means bl will be in effect
basically you can't get the best of both worlds
i personally use mp though

Aww :-( Hmm will.stick with mp then ill just redo the deleting battery stats.tricks a couple.times. ill see.if that.helps
Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk

so the removing USA network tweaks is interesting
is that usable stand alone? ie., to remove some undesirable tweaks built in to our roms? or is that used to remove tweaks that your other script makes

ok thanks .

Okay decided to try out bl, and its very good (1% drop in 20 mins) but it lags horribly.

I am sorry if I say something wrong here, but is it possible to make a script only for the network part? So we can use setcpu?

MP version lag like hell on X10 stock rom. Quadrant score event is lower than original build.pro

dude ur n/w tweak removal file/code delnet.sh is incorrect.. it wont work properly...
u are executing:
Code:
cat build.prop | sed -e "/# NTA <start>/,/# NTA <end>/c" > new_build.prop
which is not using /system/build.prop file but build.prop located in /tmp/ also the build.prop is never getting changed... its just dumping the extracted contents of build.prop without the n/w mod lines into a new file new_build.prop
instead use the following in-place modification command:
Code:
sed -i -e "/# NTA <start>/,/# NTA <end>/c" /system/bin/build.prop
the same problem might also be there in other files but i havent checked all of them...

Thanks for finding that fix and this tweak might not be great until I can get it set to where it searches the build.prop for the device type by reading some lines and then applying a certain tweak set for that rom. It'll be a lot of coding so I just released this to test what will generally work for performance and battery life. Once I finish all the coding and release the terminal/advanced shell option GUI version that's when this script will really shine but that is a work in progress, so for now I'm working on finding general settings to increase performance or battery life for all android phones.

[9001][KERNEL][GB] SkyHigh V1.5 [Updated 08-02-13] [Additional BigMem edition]

This is the official thread of my SkyHigh kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S Plus aka GT-I9001. V1.5 is my final release, please read the FAQ in post #2 for more details. Please refer to post #3 for changelogs of new releases, all available downloads are at the bottom of this first post. If you don't know how to get back to stock kernel you MUST NOT install this !
Disclaimer: this piece of software is not for the unexperienced and might bring you in a situation you can't resolve yourself. So don't use it if you fear the potential danger of bricking your device. I am responsible for nothing related to this kernel and therefore won't help. If you decide to use it anyway you agree to be ultimately responsible for all consequences that may occur. So you have been warned !
Terms of use: Remember the power of reading ! If you can't find some particular information on the first page use the search function, it is your best friend.
Besides there are even guides and tutorials all over the forum and in most cases your question was already answered.
If you take a moment and read through the WHOLE post below and a few more moments to read some of all the stuff in other device related threads of this forum, you will find ALL you need just there.
It's not invisible so you CAN find it. And forum rules and good manners tell you to do it exactly like this. And I WILL ignore every question that is already answered here.
Obey the rules !
Kernel feature list
- OC up to 1.8 GHz, UC down to 122 MHz (customisable eg. via AnTuTu CPUmaster/SetCPU)
- Undervolted (750 mV minimum) with VDD support (customisable eg. via AnTuTu CPUmaster/IncrediControl)
- many CPU governors included, smartassV2 is default
- many I/O schedulers, SIO is default
- optimized for high performance AND extreme low battery usage
- JFS and CIFS support
- TUN included (VPN support)
- cleancache (up to V1.4d)
- increased loudness
- all useful Thunderbolt and Adrenaline Shot main tweaks combined, optimized for I9001 and integrated
- init.d support (use carefully, because tweaks are already integrated, installing/executing them twice can result in strange failures)
- Thunderbolt's LMK60 addon (aka adrenaline shot's supercharger V6 tweak) already built-in, DO NOT install separately !
- Thunderbolt's remount script integrated
- Thunderbolt's zipalign script integrated
- Thunderbolt's graphics addon integrated
- Thunderbolt's binary addon integrated
- Thunderbolt's sqlite addon integrated
- Thunderbolt's screenstate_scaling script not included but compatible
- enhanced 3D graphics (updated internal kernel drivers)
- I8150 GPU libraries included in CWM package up to V1.4d, optional in V1.5
- custom bootanimation support (animation NOT included, place your own here: /system/media/bootanimation.zip)
- custom bootsound (/system/etc/PowerOn.wav)
- sdcard speed increased
- improved jpg quality for better camera pics
- GPS faster fix in V1.4x only
- in V1.5 stock GPS files are untouched
- and some more which I already have forgotten
​
This kernel is meant for use with ANY Gingerbread stock ROM and custom ROMs as well (i.e. Android V 2.3.x only !). To prevent compatibility problems with custom ROMs that include system tweaks like Thunderbolt and Adrenaline Shot any existing init.d folder will be purged while installing the SkyHigh kernel. This is not a bug but a mandatory feature !
If you think you have an important script you will still need with SkyHigh like the screenstate_scaling script, copy it to your (internal) sdcard first then copy it back to the empty init.d after installing SkyHigh.
init.d support means that SkyHigh kernel will execute any scripts inside a folder /system/etc/init.d automatically but obviously only if these exist.
If you are using a custom ROM without init.d folder or any stock ROM you might have to create the init.d folder yourself. For more details there are tutorials in this forum.
Install instructions:
1. If you don't have CWM (FeaMod Recovery) install this first. If you never heard of that learn all about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331164
2. Now make a complete nandroid backup of your phone with CWM
3. Download the attached CWM zip package
4. Copy it to your internal sdcard
5. In CWM choose "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from internal sdcard"
6. Select the downloaded file "GT-I9001_SkyHigh_kernel_V1.x_CWM_signed.zip"
7. Confirm install with "Yes"
8. Wait till you see the message "Reboot to use SkyHigh kernel V1.x !"
9. Do so like the message says.
10. On first boot this may take a while. You will see the Samsung logo and then a black screen for at least 2 minutes up to 5 minutes. If this happens hang on, don't touch anything and don't switch the phone off or pull the battery. This would most probably break your ROM !
11. Usually many files and databases are optimized on first boot but eventually you will see the lock screen or PIN dialog. Then you are all set and beginning with the next boot this will be much faster, promised
Remark: especially on preoptimized (custom) ROMs this won't happen since there's not much to optimize. So it's no bug but a feature when it doesn't happen and your phone boots up in less than a minute
​
If you want FeaMod Recovery together with SkyHigh kernel just follow the install instructions above. Install desired version of FeaMod first and then SkyHigh. You will end up with the combination you wanted.
If anything went wrong during install just try again.
If you have any issues with your sdcard(s) this is not due to SkyHigh or its install procedure. I will never ever even touch your sdcard(s). But it is always a good idea to have a rather current backup of the sdcard(s) handy. CWM makes no backup of these, so you have to do that manually.
If your phone doesn't boot even after 10 minutes waiting (see step 10.) or you end up with a damaged system because you didn't wait long enough just go back into CWM and restore the backup you made.
If you can't boot into recovery anymore just install FeaMod 1.2 via Odin again.
If you got severe errors AND didn't make a backup because you knew better than the developer don't even dare to beg for help.
If you encounter any other errors report them here but be sure that this is no feature or problem that was already described above or in the FAQ below.
While V1.3 lacks some of the features above (especially the Thunderbolt/AS tweaks) it is totally safe with sd cards, at least I never got a single report on that issue. The older V1.3 is still added as attachment for your convenience although V1.4d already fixes all sd card problems.

FAQ
For personal reasons resulting in a tremendous lack of time I have to pause all my xda development for an indefinite time. Sorry about that, but I also really can't answer all the questions you might have so please stick to this FAQ and otherwise ask other experienced users/developers in Q&A section.
Besides I'm planning to get a new phone device in just some months so this also means that SkyHigh V1.5 is my last contribution to the i9001 development section. So SkyHigh V1.5 is provided AS IS and there will be no further support whatsoever on my behalf. But V1.5 was beta tested thoroughly for about 3 weeks by several experienced users here before it was published so it is very unlikely that there are still any crucial bugs in SkyHigh V1.5.
Last but not least broodplank1337 offered to maintain SkyHigh in the future but since he is also quite busy please don't press him and give him the time he needs to answer any requests.
Thanks to all members who respect the work of the developers and obey the forum rules for a great time and experience, maybe we will see again one day in another device section on xda-devs.
1. Q: I have sd card issues with SkyHigh kernel, what can I do ?
A: This was fixed in V1.4d, don't use any other 1.4 version ! For more details please refer to post #190 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24247858&postcount=190) first, then have a look at the changelog (V 1.4d) below in post #3.
2. Q: What's the status of my CM7 port ?
A: this is a very complex topic and I paused the development in mid March in favor of this improved kernel. I continued on CM7 for about two weeks in April but now I had to stop it permanently (see first sentence of this FAQ).
I lost any contact to YardE since months so I guess he also surrendered his i9001 development. I still supported some very dedicated users with my knowledge and experience to help them to continue the CM7 porting project but none of them is an advanced developer or even coder so they are all still in learning phase.
3. Q: What about the car dock recognition ?
A: The card dock is not recognized correctly in any custom i9001 kernel that is compiled from Samsung's original i9001 source codes (Linux kernel version 2.6.35.7). However the phone will be at least charged in the car dock with kernels that are compiled from Linux version 2.6.35.14. SkyHigh V1.5 is mainly based on 2.6.35.14 (with some exceptions for Gingerbread compatibility reasons) so the charging works with SkyHigh V1.5 (only). This was tested and verified by Rhonin86, thanks mate.
4. Q: How do I provide a log for debugging ?
A: You must be familiar with adb to do so, if you are not you can only read the adb guide and learn everything about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
Then use the following commands to generate two different log files:
Code:
adb shell "dmesg > /sdcard/log.txt"
adb logcat > logcat.txt
If the first command results in a permission error try this:
Code:
adb shell su -c "dmesg > /sdcard/log.txt"
5. Q: Is Script Manager needed to run any scripts in init.d or bolt_scripts or somewhere else ?
A: Not at all. You can delete bolt_scripts if you still find that on your sdcard or somewhere else. You can uninstall Script Manager if you like. And screenstate_scaling script (or any other) will run automatically if copied to init.d with correct file permissions (755 or rwxr-xr-x)
6. Q: May I use SkyHigh kernel with my own custom ROM and publish that on xda-dev ?
A: Of course you can if you don't ask for money for your ROM. This is not a piece of proprietary commercial rip-off nonsense and must not be (re)selled. I am glad if you find it useful, but leave it well alone if you don't like it
7. Q: What are the best cpu governors, i/o schedulers, overclocking and undervolting settings and so on ?
A: the default ones ! Don't touch anything here if you are not 100% sure what these settings do and how they will help you. The given settings base on over 5 month experience and testing on my own i9001 and some others. But as stated in post #190 no two phones are exactly the same so not all of our phones work best with the very same settings. Therefore I added the possibility to customise all these settings if really necessary. But you shouldn't change any of these settings at all if you don't have severe kernel related problems with your phone.
8. Q: The feature list says that bootanimations are NOT included but supported. After I installed version 1.4/1.5 I've got a new bootanimation
A: that's not a new animation, that is just one that was already in your ROM before (in /system/media/bootanimation.zip) but never showed up so far. Most probably it got there with a custom ROM or UOT kitchen or any other mod/app that supports the android default animations. This file normally isn't used on the i9001 because Samsung implemented a proprietary bootanimation method. SkyHigh reverts the Samsung bootanimation procedure to the android default one which is also used on AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod. So this is also one of many necessary modifications to make a kernel AOSP compatible !
9. Q: How do I install a custom bootanimation ? All my attempts failed.
A: look at FAQ #8 above and at kernel feature list in post #1 !

Changelog
Final update to V1.5 and V1.5bm [08-02-13]:
- source files updated from original patch level 7 (Linux kernel version 2.6.35.7) to patchlevel 14 (Linux kernel version 2.6.35.14). This can be regarded similar as a service pack release of Windows (more stability and less bugs overall)
- especially kernel GPU drivers for the Qualcomm Adreno 205 chip are more stable on my device (had some issues with one app that was solved by this update)
- also the car dock driver is improved, battery is now charged in Samsung's original car dock (though car dock mode still isn't activated, see also FAQ #3 above)
- EGL graphics libraries that come with SkyHigh V1.4x (these libraries are OUTSIDE the kernel, but included in the CWM install package) are EXCLUDED now and only come in an optional library pack (because these are the only ones that have at least significantly better performance in benchmarks, but some users say they are more laggy in everday use).
This means for V1.5 that everybody can decide for himself if he wants to use the EGL libraries that come with his ROM or the i8150 libraries or even any other versions that he will just install himself. More details can be found in post #566 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37391142&postcount=566
- faster GPS fix that comes with SkyHigh V1.4x was also EXCLUDED since it didn't work for some people. SkyHigh V1.5 doesn't even touch any GPS related files or drivers, there is just the original Samsung stock driver inside the kernel, nothing else.
But after installing a new kernel or ROM the first initial sat fix usually takes really long (2-5 minutes). This is normal ! But after that it should be faster, about 5 to 60 seconds depending on factors like position, movement, shielding and so on.
So if you have any GPS issues it is NOT due to the kernel but due to your (custom) ROM or any other GPS related factors (and there are many). Please refer to the following posts to learn more about possible GPS issues. These posts were only meant for V1.4x since only this version replaces gps.conf but they also provide some general details about GPS issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24301498&postcount=205 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24565586&postcount=319
- finally there is a separate BigMem edition of SkyHigh called V1.5bm
This BigMem edition provides 376 MB available internal memory but breaks 720p video recording on some devices. While it still works on some devices there are rumors that it is also still possible on any device but by some alternative method. I never tested nor even used 720p recording on my own device since with such a poor camera it is totally pointless to even try HD recording IMHO. So if you want SkyHigh V1.5 WITH 720p video recording you have actually 3 choices:
1. you are lucky and everything works with V1.5bm anyway
2. try to find an alternative solution for video recording, maybe another camera app or a custom ROM is the solution. BTW: hiej claims that it works on his device with BigMem edition, maybe it's a feature of his GingerRevenge ROM so you should test that one first
3. just use the normal V1.5 of SkyHigh, it has 359 MB available memory which is still better than the stock kernels
Update to V1.4d [06-04-12]:
- sdcard problem fixed
In prior 1.4x versions the external SD card is suspended ("ejected") when the phone goes into sleep mode. On some phones the automatic re-detection of the SD card fails several times at wakeup so that it can't be accessed any longer. No data is corrupted though and reboot of the phone or reinsertion of the card are possible workarounds. As this is not practical in everyday use V1.4d solves this sdcard issue by reverting the sdcard power management routines to the original Samsung source version.
Just to be on the safe side I recommend everyone to use this modified V1.4d instead of V1.4 even if you have no sdcard issues so far. At least I do so
Update to V1.4c [06-04-12]:
- obsolete
Update to V1.4b [05-04-12]:
- obsolete
Update to V1.4a [02-04-12]:
- obsolete

Awesome! This is without doubt the best i9001 kernel so far, I really like it in my ROM, thanks for this great kernel
(by the way, is this version different then the one you send me to use in the kernel?)

Sounds amazing! This is the same one in broodrom 4 or is this updated?
So far it is working perfectly for me.
Thanks!

AFAIK simplistic F1 uses FeaCore kernel nonOC which means your phone doesn't like OC/UV kernels. As SkyHigh is OC/UV you can't use it unfortunately, sorry.

OK, if you can provide me some logs I can have a closer look into that, maybe it also applies to others.
But I will need the output of these two adb commands:
Code:
adb shell "dmesg > /sdcard/log.txt"
adb logcat > logcat.txt
If the first command results in a permission error try this:
Code:
adb shell su -c "dmesg > /sdcard/log.txt"

WOW - THX for your work
Hi Skywalker01,
nice to see the resuts of your intense work. Will try it later due to the fact that work is calling
By the way did you find a way to make the kernel recognize the original charging dock meanwhile ? Or if not is it still in your focus ?
I wish you success porting CM and keep on your good work.
Cheers
Rhonin

thanks for the kernel
i can't mount my sdcard in cwm. i currently use this kernel with brood rom.
first time i had this problem was after installing vitaliys kernel. changing kernel and doing a hard reset via *2767*3855# helped (as you can imagine you can't reset it in cwm since you have to mount the sdcard which doesn't work). so i got the suspicion that this is a kernel issue.
i know you said
If you have any issues with your sdcard(s) this is not due to SkyHigh or its install procedure

but i'm not sure if this is what you mean since you made mods on the sdcard.

your kernel is amazing sky. i think you made the best kernel for 9001. my phone is like an f-16 because of your kernel

[Q] Motorola Milestone XT720 OVERCLOCK -2.april.2012.

I have motorola milestone xt720 rooted, custom rom kang cm7 with 2.3.7.
I used:
-Milestone Overclock (android market) and it didnt work (it needs official rom).
-Motomizer (free version) and it did overclock my xt720 to 1ghz with vsel 64, but it wasnt permanent. In every reboot or start up it was making it back to stock clock 720mhz.
The problem is that i want permanent overclock, even if i reboot phone.
Is there a program that s gonna help me do that?
If not, i heard that i can do it manually changing a system file. Which file is it?
I really need an answer, so please take your time and give it a comment.

I don't think it can be permanent . Maybe you should get your answer from the developer . I used milestone overclock and tick set on boot . I'm on CM 6.3.7 .

Generally, to figure out what's going on look in /system/etc/init.d for a file with "overclock" in the name and look what it does. Usually there is an option there to load a file but it varies a lot among ROMs (Dexter used /sdcard/ocsettings.txt IIRC). ROMs designed for Motomizer have init.d scripts that are somewhat different and I'm not very familiar with them.
The CM6 one is somewhat complex because it's working around a bug in Milestone Overclock that prevents it from loading at boot. Briefly, Milestone Overclock saves its apply on boot preference to the sdcard--this allows you to disable it if necessary by removing the sdcard and deleting the file--but it always gets launched at boot before the sdcard has finished being scanned and isn't mounted, so it is never able to read its preference and defaults to not apply. I believe fjfalcon's CM7 uses the same method CM6.3.7 uses. CM6 and at least fjfalcon's CM7 have reworked overclock modules that use symsearch designed for eclair kernels.
Anyway the point is there are a lot of CM7 ROMs for XT720 that do these things differently. Start by looking in /system/etc/init.d and see what your ROM does. If you're using fjfalcon's CM7, I think we expect Milestone Overclock to "just work", but that's not something I've personally tested recently.

Thank you for your helpful comments.
Here i am again, posting a reply to thank you for commenting in my thread.
Well, about milestone overclock:
It downloads and installs correctly via android market and it launches without problem.
As usual, i have to check for giving super user privilidges to the program. I did that.
But when i try to change cpu speed, it sais failed etc etc. So, it s not working.
So, this custom rom isnt made for milestone overclock. That s a fact.
Your information about the system file for cpu overclock etc, is helpful. However, i firstly sent a message to rom's owner. That way, i wont mess with files i m not supposed to.
If you saw this thread, and have info that s helpful... COMMENT.
Thank you,

Same here. Ran for months with no problems at all. Now I'm running CM9 with no issues either.
Only issue I ever had was when I had milestone overclock installed to the SD card it didn't set my clock on boot like it should have. Could you be having a similar problem?

Well, updated my 26.2.2012 version and it worked (motorola milestone) as it should....
Maybe i did something wrong while using this rom.
Now (thankfully) it works perfectly.
Ty all for your comments.
This rom (kang cm7.2 with 2.3.7 and github) is the best for xt720.

You can set personalized presets with milestone overclock but you need to add a script, I added this on init.d, and set the cpu governor to interactive from 250 to 1126
Code:
echo "1126000" > /proc/overclock/max_rate
echo "67" > /proc/overclock/max_vsel
echo "0 1126000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table
echo "5 1126000000 67" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "1 1024000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table
echo "4 1024000000 59" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "2 720000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table
echo "3 720000000 56" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
#optional
#echo "3 550000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table
#echo "2 550000000 56" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

hi!
i'm on the latest cronosx and now i'm facing the fact i can't really OC my phone..
i edited the script file as usual, making max freq 1ghz . and now i see on android sys info that it runs on 720.
i downloaded milestone oc to see what's up.. it can't load the module, giving me error and can't do anything with it..
i don't understand what's wrong with previous versions it had absolutely no probs.. what can i do?
the apps using SU r these:
ram manager
root explorer
titanium backup
milestone oc

[Q] How to Overclock CPU & GPU that survives a reboot ??

I am new to overclock things, I am running on stock 2.3.6 today after a prolong research I managed to overclock my CPU and GPU. I've followed the following Method:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14511-opptimizer-projekt-milestone-overclock-for-omap4-devices/
I've done everything except the part i was not able to understand:
"Loading at Boot/Scripts:
The new update.zip's will install a basic init.d script to "/system/etc/init.d/00opptimize". If you've found settings that are "stable" for your device, and you'd like to run these at boot, you may edit this file accordingly. Be default, this script only loads the kernel modules. This requires your ROM to have init.d support to work. If you cannot find a method of getting init.d working, you can use Script Manager to execute this file at boot."
Now whenever I am restarting my phone it is going back to its stock speed, I just want to know that how can I set it to work even after restart.
I kindly request Jim, lkrasner, JRW 28,alteredlikeness,rdavisct,cogeary andApex_Strider to help me with this issue as i know our phone is capable of handling 1250MHz CPU and 384 MHz of GPU Speed.
Thank You.

CPU overclocking can be tricky, if not downright frustrating as hell. Its a matter of testing, and running at slightly bumped-up speeds over the course of the OC'ing process to find a stable CPU frequency setting. Not all users can hit 1.2GHz or higher, whereas others can. It depends on the device, and nothing is really 'static' as far as "across the board" potential CPU clock speeds for our device. There is an init.d support .zip that can be flashed for roms that do not have init.d support (such as stock rom) but this will not work for ICS or JB versions since they are running newer kernels and as the init.d support is designed to work on the "older" kernel modules.

I've downloaded moto_init_d-signed.zip and mo_simp_1.5_edison-signed.zip from http://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/downloads/list and flashed in CWM now I've init.d in my /system/etc/init.d
I've successfully overclocked my phone to 1250 MHz for CPU and 384 MHz for GPU Using:
# echo 3 1250000000 1390000 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
# echo 384000000 > /proc/overclock/gpu_opps
I've even confirmed my speed in setcpu and by using it says I am running on 1250 MHz, and my phone is very much stable I played modern combat 2 for around 1/2 an hour and used my phone for around 3-4 hours without any bootloop.
Only the problem is that I am not able to survive my overclock after reboot. After reboot it is reverting back to 1000Mhz

You have to physically change the echo table values using Root Explorer using the text editor. Look for this section in the 00pptimize file and change echo 3 at this code line:
# Droid3/Bionic/Atrix2 stock Settings
# echo 3 1000000000 1375000 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
# echo 2 800000000 1313000 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
# echo 1 600000000 1200000 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
# echo 0 300000000 1025000 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
Then, click back to save the .bak file and reboot. Changes should stick through reboot after this.

Correct. I linked you to that post since it kind of shows how to get to and edit the 00opptimize file - also, make sure you delete the .bak that gets created - if there is a .bak file in the init.d folder, you will bootloop!

Indeed, deleting the .bak file created after changing the echo table values is a key step. I forgot to tell him that, since I always delete without even thinking about it -done it so many times it almost comes as an involuntary response after editing the CPU frequency scaling!
