So I read setcpu is not necessary with cm7 since it's already implemented with the rom. I'm just wondering why some people still use setcpu with it, are there any benefits?
I'm running latest version of cm7 with stock kernel.
*I'm also wondering what kernels you all use with cm7?
SetCPU has way more features than CM7's built-in CPU Governor.
With SetCPU, you're able to set custom CPU profiles to lower CPU Usage In-Call, when the screen is off, or when the battery hits a certain percentage... etc.
You're also able to control undervoltage in SetCPU (If you're using a custom kernel)
Thank you, so I can run them both simultaneously or is it possible to close the built in one?

I don't think it's possible to remove the CM7 Governor, but you can just use SetCPU with no problems at all.
Are you using CM7 as well? What kernel are you running it with?

Just disable the 'set on boot' setting in the CM7 settings and enable 'set on boot' in setCPU

I realize you didn't ask me, but for reference, I'm running CM7 with faux's 0.4.2 kernel.

I'm running Nightly build 154 with Faux 0.4.2 with SV and DS battery driver...i get performance and great battery life. I use SETCpu and I've been OC'd @ 1.4 for about 3hrs now and my battery has only gone down 2% with mild texting and no overheating. My battery's temp has been constant at around 88-90 degrees.
If you're looking for the right Kernel...Faux's 0.4.2 with SV and DS battery driver is the way to go.

So technically all you did was reflash it? I just flashed the kernel and the battery is jumping from 41 to 44 to 47. Can you please tell me your exact steps :3
Wipe cache wipe dalvik flash kernel then go to advanced and fix permissions...enjoy

Aw man I really wanted it to work but I tried your method and it just jump from 59 - 61
can someone post a link to the faux's OC kernel the CM one...the link in the original thread is dead...

Hi,
I am a new rooted user and have been following all MT4G threads here at XDA pretty closely. Can anyone help me know which kernels I can flash on the 03012011 Nightly(cm_glacier_full-11.zip ). I haven't ever flashed a kernel and I don't know what it does and how it helps.
I'll appreciate any info that you can give me.

Well you can use dumfuq's SmartCMKernel or Faux's CM7RC v1.3 kernels. ATM you might want to go with dumfuq's as its the most stable CM7 kernel other than default. You can find it in development section, once downloaded to SDCard just go in to Recovery and wipe cache, davlik and then Install zip from SDCard> Choose from SDCard> Select it wherever you put it and then flash it as you normally flash rom's. Then reboot and let it run for few min and let it do its thing.

Thanks for your help. Getting this kernel now. I heard about setcpu and Quadrant. Do I need those and how/what are they used for? what kind of difference would this kernel give me?
SetCPU - name explains it but if you don't know its controls clock frequency, so you can over/under clock and even set profiles.
Quadrant - benchmark app its just to brag how high score you got nothing special, don't let it get to your head it means nothing as the synthetic benchmark no way translate in to real world performance its just pissing contest lol
Keep in mind in CM7 you have built in mCPU performance controller to to handle clock frequency which you can access via Setting> CM Setting> Performance> CPU Setting.

You do relize you allready have a aftermarket kernel installed when you download any Rom here in the forums, right? Its ok to install different ones but FYI you dont need to in order to overclock.

Thats up to you as only you know what you use so you can better utilize the resource. I mean if you don't use anything no reason to OC it to 1.8ghz lol that way you will kill battery.

What are the differences between dumfuq's and faux's? Is there an advantage to one over the other? I've always been using faux's the whole time.
I keep going back to just using the stock CM 7 kernel clocked at 1.5 honestly I think it gives the best overall performance (on my phone at least) and honestly I had issues running over anything past 1.7 with any kernel but again that could just be my phone. I had it oc'ed at 1.7 for a while and now I have it clocked at 1.5 and notice I have less FC (not that I had many at 1.7 but def more apps would choke from time to time) This phone is pretty fast bone dry stock with no oc'ing but it runs beautiful at 1.5. I dont really notice much performance difference from 1.5 to 1.7 but I do notice a battery difference
Has anyone been successfull? i have tried every OC kernel and as soon as i overclock it just reboots my phone to a freeze (only way out is to either pull the battery or adb reboot). That being said the UV kernel runs fine.
Not sure if it has to do with the I9020A series.
But overall, each NS phone can tolerate its own OC levels. Some phones can tolerate only up to 1.2 GHz, some may be able to achieve 1.4GHz (or beyond). And for some of the unfortunate, some aren't able to OC at all.
Thus this post. I hope my phone is'nt the issue. it would be nice to push a little bit more out of it if i needed it down the line.
I over clocked mine to 1.4 and it was fine, I leave it at 1.0 tho, this friggin thing is quick enough for now.
hmm how do you check your radio. I'm gonna try that as a last resort. And i can set mine as 1.4 but as soon as i run a resource heavy task (n64) my phone locks up and reboot freezes.

Not sure why a radio would affect your ability to OC but...
Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version
the last 3 are what you want to look at "JK8/KB1/KB3"
List all the kernels you've tried. The best in my opinion is Netarchy's 1.3.0.3-CFS kernel using SetCPU
Try intervals of 1.2 GHz too. My phone can only go up to 1.2 GHz
Yeah actually i had tried all of the bfs kernels. I just succeeded in getting Netarchy's 1.3.0.3-CFS kernel. And i can run up to 1.4 . Maybe the brain fk scheduler does not play nice with 9020a's

i flashed the BFS first, and lost my boot animation. Then i switched to the CFS, and the boot animation still didnt appear.
Any ideas as to how i can get it back?
Also, is there anyway to recover the stock kernel? I'd like to have it handy to be able to go back to it.

Wipe dalvik and cache. Flash a rom that flashes stock. Like cm7 but netarchys is so much better than stock
You can also get ogdobbers which is stock + ext4 + voodoo.

Hey everyone,
This is an off topic question but does anyone know what happened to the 1.6 OC support for Netarchy? I loved to see the absurdly high quadrant scores and instantaneous screen transitions.

you're better off asking that in the netarchy kernel thread in dev forums.
netarchy could answer that... not a lot of phones can tolerate 1.6 GHz Oc

I have skyics 7.4 running great. I just flashed faux 10m kernel and bam my auto rotation is reversed. I meant when I hold phone in portrair, it display landscape and vice versa.
Anyone know how to fix this issue? I tried to search but couldn't find a definitive answer. BTW, I have ATT skyrocket phone.

It sounds like you don't have the correct kernel for the Skyrocket. Is this the Kernel you are using?

Deep sleep helps so much in lessening battery consumption. Any other good benefits from faux kernel?

Underclocking and undervolting
I'm using ARHD 6.8.0 and sebastianFM kernel. I set gpu frequency of 2d and 3d to lowest which is 200, but still when I play games it still drains as fast as when the 2d and 3d is set higher. I also set minimum cpu frequency to 192 and maximum to less than 1000 ghz but it still drains battery fast. By the way, I'm using Kernel Tuner App to tweak the kernel.
Is there a kernel with fastcharge enabled for sensation?
I want the kernel that's best both for gaming and browsing internet-wise.
Help me guys thanks.

Hi,
If you play games,you will use more battery,no ,matter what kernel you use.
Play games=more cpu=more battery.
FAUX KERNEL has fast charge capability.
SULTAN too
Oh I see. So I've read about Sultan. But what kernel of sultan to install? It's confusing there's Sultan Linaro, Sultan AOSP, Sultan Aroma etc.. What's the proper Sultan Kernel that I should use?? I'm on ARHD 6.8.0. Thanks

Make a full Nandroid backup first before you flash the Sultan kernel.
That way if you do something wrong in the installation and pick the wrong options in Aroma it's super easy to just revert and start over. (Though I think Sultan offers a "reset" option as well.) But still...you're doing something you'r enot familiar with so make a backup first.

The Powerful Kernel Reset included in my kernel's Aroma installer will erase init.d scripts left behind my many kernels (including my kernel) and it will then proceed to purely install my kernel with no init.d script included.
