[Q] How to overclock G2x stock rom 2.3.3 - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hi,
i just got rooted my g2x 2.3.3 (stock rom), can anybody help me how to overclock it??
Thanks

You need to flash a kernel that supports overclocking. Check over in the development section for one that's compatible with your rom.

After you flashed the new kernel you have to use something like SetCPU (from the market) to set the processor speed higher. You can set it up to the maximum speed allowed by the kernel you flashed. Just be careful about running it at max speed for too long. This phone is plenty fast at 1GHz so no need to set it too high and risk damaging your phone.

@MisfitX,
how if i want to back to original like before i flash this kernel, what i have to do like uninstall this kernel maybe?
Sorry, i'm new on this.
Thanks

Has anyone posted a flashable zip for the stock GB kernel so if you try this and don't like it you can go back to stock easily? I have searched and cannot find it.

The best way would be to make a backup first, then follow the steps to flash the new kernel.. That way if you don't like it or if you have a problem you can always reboot into recovery and restore that backup..
Side note: its always a good idea when flashing anything to your phone to have a back up plan. Like what you will do if something has a problem or you don't like it.. Backup, backup, backup..
Good luck hope this helps

I tried this but it didn't seem to work. I saw the new kernel version in settings, and in SetCPU it showed 1100 as the speed, but when I went to adjust the slider it maxed out at 1000, not 1500. Did I do something wrong?

When in set cpu ; settings; detect new frequencies. Then try it.

Edit: nevermind, I needed to autodetect after installing kernel. Thank you so much.

[Kernel][KG2]Bali Tweaks + OC! 1.28Ghz

I added kernel tweaks from raspdeep's I9000 OC and got our bali kernel to OC, I'm running at 1.2 Ghz right now. I haven't tested this in terms of battery life, but there's a good chance your battery life may be less. So use with caution.
This 1.2 Ghz OC feels smoother and faster than stock, and better and more stable than 1.28Ghz. If you tried the 1.28 and gave up, try this 1.2, it's much better. I removed the link to the 1.28Ghz kernel because it was causing too many problems for everyone, and actually being slower due to freezing and overheating.
Battery life and stability not guaranteed
Use setcpu to control your cpu speed.
Credits to Dr. Honk for bali original, and raspdeep for OC source.
THIS IS FOR KG2 ONLY!
I have flashed this both on stock and on a custom KG2 rom, they both worked.
link removed because it was unstable - 1.28Ghz
Updated 1.2 KERNEL: http://www.multiupload.com/3QPMQY476F
3:55PM 8/3/2011
I provide no guarantees that this will work, make a backup before you try this!
This was really only made for all the kids who kept asking for an OC kernel.
It has been suggested that the 1.2Ghz kernel may be more stable, so I would suggest trying that one instead of the 1.28Ghz kernel
Flashing right now . You beat me too it ;p

Flash through CWM as usual, I've tested flashing it and it worked fine for me, so it should work for you.

Well it works on mine, so it's not broken entirely, so something has to be different here. pulling the link until its more tested.
Now that I think about it, the issue might have been that you were all on rfs, rather than ext4
if you can get back to CWM you can just flash the old kernel

I think you need to grab an OC kernal, and there is an app you can use for your processor. I think in development if you look at a sticky it tells you everything.
Just download and flash a custom kern that's OC'able and then install an app (I use setCPU) to over clock to your desired clock speed.

Tsugi Rom-Anyone have access to UV rom?

Hey guys,
Searched the original page here, couldn't find an answer. So here's my question. Now that the US govt has done it and shut down websites, I was just wondering, would anyone happen to have a copy of the Tsugi ROM that's been undervolted?
If not, could someone point me to guides on how to undervolt and maybe even the ideal settings for overclocking using setcpu?
Thanks in advance!
You can get the Tsugi UV kernel on ROM Manager.

Questions from a noob. Is this different from the undervolted file? What do I do with each file? Substitute them for the installation guide on the front page of the tsugi rom guide?
the one that i linked to on 2shared is the overclocked undervolted file. ideally you should flash the ROM first through CWM, and then the kernel through CWM. try the undervolted file, if its stable, then keep it, if its not stable, try the one that is just overclocked and not undervolted.

Kinda new to the world of flashing. How do you distinguish between the rom and the kernel?
in the development thread for the G2x, the rom threads start with [ROM], that would be the easiest way.

Wait. So that file you gave me. Does it have the rom and kernel, or just one?
ETA: The link the dev provides here has a download link to a "smartinstaller." is that the ROM? And the oyasumi 0.1 UV is the kernel, right?
Gah. This is stuff is confusing but interesting to learn!

correct, the TSUGI rom has a smart installer that does everything for you. it simply installs the ROM. afterwards, its suggested that you get the oyasumi KERNEL.
ROM is most analogous to an operating system, and kernel allows the operating system to interact with the hardware. you need to install the two separately. ROM first, and then kernel.

How about creating a separate thread for that question instead of hijacking mine? Or better yet, search around. I've chosen to use Tsugi because of its reputation for stability and battery life.

There are two threads/ variations of faux kernels. One is for GB like this one and the other is for cm7 based. Use the other kernel 050b1 i think.

I running T15-G2x-06022012 with CM7 RC3 OCed to 1400 with out issues
For Faux's 014b2 kernel, which do you recommend when running Kwes' modified stock ROM (v21y)? I see pre-UV and stock voltage versions. I'm leaning towards stock voltage, but is there a major advantage for the pre-UV? (I'm not even really sure what is meant by pre-UV -- pre-under voltage?)
Thanks!
EDIT: pre-UV is pre-under volted. From a little more reading, I found that pre-UV means the kernel has a -50mv UV already. So if using UV/OC tools and apps, you need to take into account that -50mv already.
