[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.

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

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.

I'll try adding in UV mods later, but I have to go home from work for now.

Remember once you add UV to check the voltage . Just a reminder & The kernel flash's but it auto-reboot's & then stay's stuck on SK4G splash screen .

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

Ok reflashed old kernel. All is well.

Ginger clone and old bali kernel

However im more then sure ill fix it no prob. this is pretty sweet though that its oc'ed now

Flashing kernals causes boot loops

I just got the Captivate yesterday and I'm in love with it. I've been modding my Backflip for a while and I'm fairly certain I know what I'm doing. I've been trying different ROMs and I've currently settled on a rooted stock 2.2 ROM.
I want to change my kernel though, so I put my phone in download mode and flashed the Galaxian kernel via Odin, it finished and then my phone started boot looping. So I one clicked it and tried again with SGS flasher, boot loop. One click restored, tried with CWM, boot loop.
I've also tried Talon, Speedmod, Setiron and a stock kernel with all 3 methods. Nothing will flash without boot looping.

That kernel is designed for reoriented i-9000 roms

What about all of the other ones that were supposedly for 2.2 ROMs?

It needs to be a true captivate 2.2 kernel a lot are i9000's you just need to read the op for whichever kernel you are looking at thoroughly. 90% of the time the dev states if its an i9000 kernel.
The speed mod kernel here, forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880 SHOULD work just make sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery after install and it should boot.

You will have to read the description in the first post on the kernel you want to install, and the kernel you were installing was a gingerbread kernel

Yeah. You were trying to install a gingerbread kernel on a froyo ROM. That won't work.

Thanks guys! I think I downloaded the wrong version of SpeedMod the first time, it worked this time. Firstly I didn't know that the difference between i-9000 and i897 meant that much. Secondly, I'm not really sure how to read the kernel topics, they're confusing to say the least :S.
I'll learn sooner or later but thanks for your help everyone.

Yeah some are very confusing the biggest help Is to learn the difference in firmware revision codes. Most captivate roms/kernels begin with k. like kh3, kf1 that sort of thing and from what I remember j is for I9000 eg jv1 etc...

overclock cm9

So i just installed cm9, and my phone can only go to 1188mhz so how do i over clock because i know the sensation can go to 1.6

Install system tuner and try to raise the value. If not, install a kernel compatible with cm9 and u should be good.

On some of the early nightlies I was able to use faux123's 005b3 asop kernel and overclocked to 1.78. I only used it on a couple of the early nightlies. I tried flashing it a few days ago and got bootloops. I think that was on nightly 01, maybe 30.
Stock kernel works fine for me. Overclock will probably be available sometime down the road. Someone on cm9 dev thread is running faux's kernel now, apparently without problems. I guess YMMV, or maybe that should be MMMV.

Isn't there a kernel less than 1.78 like 1.67 or something. A 1.6 kernel should be ok and u don't need to turn it up to max.

For CM9, faux is the only one that maybe works as far as I know. There is a mod over in the dev forum that overclocks to 1.5, I think. Haven't tried it, so I can't verify.

cm9 was great, but it wasn't stable yet and couldn't be over clocked
so i tried aokp that wasn't as good the screen looked too small and spaced out, but yo ucould over clock. And unfortunately without me knowing my phone was backing up my apps, ON MY DATA, so i owe virgin about 200$ now =_= for using 70$
In the end i went back to arhd, do yo uguy have any recommendation.

Use faux kernel 005b3 it will over clock it to 1.728.and it is stable and will run great.I have been running it for 5 days no problem.

First make double sure the kernel is compatible with your rom and operating system and firmware . Then wipe cash.and dalvik cash, then flash like a rom. By downloading the Kernel to the root of your SD card and flash through recovery. I like 4 ext recovery. After wiping you install from SD card then reboot. Hope this helps.
Of course do the download first, then wipe, then flash

[Q] I want to remove Bloatware and overclock this to 1.3

hi i just got this samsung galaxy s 4g and rooted the phone. i love how it looks stock so i wont need to flash a rom, but i would love to remove bloatware and overclock this. i keep going onto google but i find no straight answer just a bunch of sgs2 and vibrant answers. ive flashed roms before on an htc evo 4g so i got some basic knowledge, but i see i cant use cwm on this device.
i have firmware 2.3.6 please help.

Team Acid KJ6 debloater - http://teamacid.sourceforge.net/debloater/ (source)
AntonX's BML kernel - Basic with a twist 1.1.3
Afterwards install SetCPU / Voltage Control (my favorite).

I believe that antonx has also posted a lightweight KJ6, that was unthemed. Haven't flashed it myself, but that's what I understand from the OP.

Rom manager dose not work with our phone you have to get the kernel flasher from the market and do it like that. I think it's called sgs kernel flasher and it should have a duck on it
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

Yes, AntonX's ROM (in my signature) is stockish but heavily debloated. It rocks. In addition, you can grab his kernel (also in my sig) to OC/UV.

No need to flash a new ROM if you are rooted, just install Titanium Backup (free on the market) and use that to uninstall anything you don't want.
You can also make backups first, just in case you end up needing something later.
To overclock, you might need a new kernel (can't remember) which you can flash in CWM, which I assume you have, since you are rooted. Then get an app like Set CPU to overclock.

thanks man. i did what you said to remove bloatware. i cant run cwm on it since im running gingerbread so i guess i will use kernal manager. this phone seems like you need better experiance then when i had an evo 4g with the evo 4g you will just use cwm and you where good plus there was thousads of kernals and roms for it, but like i said i dont need a rom just to fix the little lag i have.

how long can i have it overclocked for?

Flashing my first kernel, need some input?

I have synergy 1.3 right now on my phone. Have rooted and flashed this rom with no problems so far by following what I have read on this wonderful site. I would like to try and flash Imoseyon's leankernal. I have read that this works extremely well with synergy's 1.3. I have been following the steps from this guide > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 and I have installed ez recovery. So couple questions.
1. I change the recovery to CWM 6.0.1, then hit the flash button and then the reboot recovery button?
2. will flashing a kernel change any settings on my phone for instance I am running apex launcher pro have everything set up the way I like it will all be the same after reboot?
3. is wiping cache/dalvik necessary? I have read elsewhere that when flashing kernels it is not necessary at all?
thanks!

1. Yes. I selected the 6.0.1 from the dropdown and then flashed it. I then made a nandroid and tested restore. I came from twrp 2.2 and wanted to make sure it restored fine.
2. Flashing the kernel will not effect your apps.
3. I didn't but it won't hurt clearing caches.

I finished it up. I had to go back and reflash with 12-2 because the blue led wouldn't go away. Luckily I found that by reading farther through the thread. seems to be working great..thanks for your help again!

Oops. Should have mentioned that. I found out that if you get the kernel from his "latest" link it is the 12 version and not 12-2. I posted in the rootz thread about that but it likely got buried with the problems peppe are reporting about using the kernel with 1.4.
Good to hear that you got 2 (?) flashes with no problems. How's it working on your phone?

Im also on synergy 1.3 and was wondering how much better does this kernel provide in battery life? Do we need to underclock to get bettter battery life?

Yeah they need to update that link I had actually read about it earlier when reading through the posts but forgot about it last night when downloading the initial link. So far so good. Very smooth haven't had a chance to test batter life will do that at work today giving it a full charge this morning.

Here you go. This is my battery life on 1.3 with the lean kernel and the app CPU sleeper. When I go to sleep I under clocked it at 384 ghz or something like that..then over clocked at 1.7 with the on demand govener and the I/O set to so..this is by far the best battery life I've gotten.

That's pretty good battery life there! What are you underclocking? Min and max or just the min? What are you using to set your CPU clocks? I've been using RomToolbox. I have thinking about dropping the coin on SetCPU, but want to make sure it's what everyone is using to get this great of battery life. Sorry to thread hijack. I've come from a DX and didn't mess with these settings that much.

I have systemtuner but don't really know much about overclocking/underclocking at the moment. Not really sure what I should be touching. That is damn good battery life though.
