I notice that alot of the modded or alternate kernels have oc/uv capabilities, but I was wondering if thats built into the kernel, or that just means its capable with an app.
Basically if I fiash the kernel, is it overclocked from stock, or it just has the capability.
thanks

It just has the capability. It'll need to be enabled with an app
Froggys go ribbet
Try the Voltage Control app.

Use Infusion-GB Core-A2 with Set CPU to OC/UV

I'm new to the G2x, but not rooting, specifically. I've rooted the phone via NVFlash, and installed the latest Weapon X. I'm pretty much just looking for some general information on which kernels to use. I'm looking for a kernel that will let me change governors. For some reason, SetCPU would not let me select a governor after flashing faux's kernel. I'm not sure which CPU settings to use in SetCPU. I selected the nVidia Tegra 2 as a setting, but it would only let me underclock the CPU, and not select any governors.
A bit of help?
Not sure but our CPU doesn't use governers or something to that effect.

I see. I just came over from the EVO yesterday, where there are so many different governors between stock ones and custom implimentations by devs over there. Now what about being able to overclock in SetCPU?
What's the best Gingerbread Based Kernel in regards to battery life? (undervolt)
I'm currently using entropy's 9-26-2011 kernel. Should i use a previous one or infusion? or other?

Previous kernels shouldn't be any better with battery.
Infusion will allow you to overclock to 1.6, but otherwise should be about the same, unless bedwa hasn't integrated netarchy's cpuidle fix.
LB's hellraiser kernel has the cpuidle fix and to be honest - undervolt will reduce your CPU core usage by only 5-10% in most cases unless you have a device that undervolts like a champ. It won't help radio usage or screen usage.

Love bedwa's work!! But then you have to look at either using SetCPU or Voltage Control? Which one are you using? Or are you using Both?
Voltage control free works very well with the Infusion kernel, but so does setcpu, seems to be up to personal preference but I would avoid using both as overlapping could cause issues... Voltage control and Infusion 1.1 are my personal prefs because it allows you to change the I/O scheduler as well as UV and OC. Setcpu however can control thresholding. Which one is more important to you?

What do you think is the best OC/UV app ? If so can you also post the recommendations ? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
There's been thousands of posts, not sure of threads, in the forum regarding this.
Tegrak OC seems to be the most popular though. Most tend to stay away from SetCPU.
I personally never OC or UV. I find that my speed and battery life are perfectly acceptable.
Yeah tegrak seems to be what everyone uses. I stay away from OCing though because i don't really see the purpose of OCing just for browsing the web, text messaging, Facebook, twitter, and YouTube. The phones really smooth already. I'm probably going to UV though to get a little better battery life.

You can't oc with set CPU without an overclock kernel

Tegrak Ultimate since it allows OC/UV with a kernel module as opposed to requiring a OC/UV kernel.

For this phone tegrak is the best with the most control paid version is well worth it
at first this phone relied on overclocking but months later it is no longer needed imo, i just stay at 1000 mhz stock with undervolting and my phone feels as smooth as a 1.2 thank you gingerbread lol

I use tegraq (paid) version to UC.. everything is so smooth now, the UC gives battery life and my quadscore is still in the 2500 range.
TegraK
Hi,
I'm interested only in UV, since my phone is super fast with Valhalla 1.1 ROM
and Adrenaline Shot X, but i drain my battery every day!
can you please explain -
1. can i undervolt using the free edition of tegrak ?
2. do i need to replace the kernel or can i work with tegrak app out of the box?
i didn't get that.
Thanks !
Well I just downloaded Taegrak ultimate, but it seems like my values will never stay ! I tried setting my CPU Lv 0 to 1000,1165,1055 but it'll always revert back to normal. Sometimes I'll catch a glimpse of "Targrak has unexpectedly.."
Anyone here use SetCPU with their device? Notice a big difference?
Care to share your configurations as well?
What kernel are you using?? if you use faux123's kernel than he has fuax clock specially made for his kernel.

Unless u wanna uc you don't need that CPU app. I used system tuner.

if using the Original Romracer kernel....there is no over clocking or undervolting. so the only thing you can really change is the scaling.
so if you want speed, set it to preformance which will force both cpus on line AT ALL TIMES. but will drain the batter faster other than that. there is not much you can do with a stock kernel. which is what romracers kernel is.

Hi,
I'm on TPC V3 with Da_G 0.43 Kernel.
I've one profile in SetCpu which is "screen off: max 192 min 192 with smartassv2 governor". I'm a light user and my record is fifty hours with a battery life.
I can't say if SetCPU has a lot to do with this but the smartassv2 governor helped a lot for sure.
I am rooted with the stock ROM and find that setcpu makes my phone lag more with Faux Kernel. When I delete the app, everything runs much more smoothly.

Try using FauxClock with his kernel, it's an app designed for his kernel specifically, and works great.
I'm at 1.2GHz (battery life) with a 87.5mV underclock on all steps, runs like a bauss.
I will admit, Da_G's kernel is miles ahead when it comes to performance, but it SoD's way too much on my phone, unfortunately.
HI guys
Im currently using MIUI US Rom ver 2.4.6 with stock kernel. can anyone recommend me a fast and stable kernel compatible with this rom?
Will these do the trick?
I've heard only good things about Trinity, but I stopped using MIUI a long time ago, it's pretty outdated at this point.
I personally use the Trinity kernel when running MIUI but some prefer Faux123's kernel. It tends to be you choose which ever one is the most stable for your phone as not all are created equal. The other thing to note is that if you flash the kernel straight from morfic it will cause you to loose the ability to set themes and keep them after a reboot.
I have the modified Trinity Kernels that you can get to try and they both are flashable from CWM and have the theme fixes.
They are both found here >>Trinity Kernel<<
If you want to know the difference between them go to morfics thread and the explanations are there.
thanks for the elaborated explanation and the Trinity builds. but what stability lose am i to experience? i flashed 4 hours ago ELP build and i have no problems with the themes.
You aren't necessarily going to experience stability issues. It is just a possibility you could. If you aren't then you will be fine.
I do suggest that you get setcpu so you can set the clock speed to the 1.1ghz that the kernel wants to default to but the os pushes it down to 1.0. But it is not a nessecity.

The Destroyer
I would use The Destroyer16. I've seen many MIUI G2x's run stable and decent battery life (with a little UV) with this kernel. Plus 1.6ghz max will rip benchmark scores like crazy. Only good for gb 2.3.7 MIUI IMO. You can find it in the huge Trinity thread under g2x development.

dont do this unless you know what your doing. it works on any CM7 based rom, but its very unstable and really only used for testing and benchmarking.
