***Explaination***:
I, as many of us have, been using Toasts #89 Overclocked kernel since it's inception. I have been thrilled with it's performance, and that our community has produced kernel source code before one was avaliable to us from HTC. Thats quite impressive
The only cons with this kernel that I have found are:
1: Would occasionally (20% of the time?) get a Force Close when a phone call is coming in, resulting in the phone being borked, and me having to reboot the phone.
As many of you have noticed, toast incorporated a script into the kernel that makes it more likely to do this on reception of a call from your lover. Yes, this is a proven fact and can easily cause problems![/sarcasm]
2: The Application "WiFi Tether for Root Users" would start properly, and would share the internet connection over wifi as intended, but would hardlock the phone when you tried to stop the tether, requiring a battery pull to get the phone going again.
So in comes DarchDroid. I tried out darchdroid 2.6.4, and even tough it was an overclocked rom, I experienced NO force closes on phone calls, and a flawlessly working WiFi Tether.
I felt that both the problems above must be caused by the kernels, because I had never experienced them when using stock HTC kernel. So I thought it might be possible to use Darch's Kernel from 2.6.4(2.6.5 broke WiFi Tether), in a Sense rom. At the time I was using IceHoneyBun(from androincentral), after trying to make a update.zip myself using parts from darchs rom and getting nothing but boot loops, PMs back and forth with Darchstar, and Beezy(cooker of HoneyBun roms), Beezy posted a flashable zip to successfully use Darch's Kernel on HoneyBun. It worked! No phone FC, and working Wifi tether. Many people who use Toasts #89 experience the FC on incoming call, and everyone using it experiences hardlock on wifi tether end. So we thought we should share the fix, and make zips for Fresh and Damage based roms as well.
Enough jibber jabber, on the the good stuff!!!!
IMPORTANT READ THIS
Due to the folder structure for the .ko modules being different between the stock, the v4, vUV, and vUV2, you MUST run this remover to erase /system/lib/modules/* . Some of the zips below create a folder inside /modules to put the ramzswap.ko. If you flash the newest vUV 2 it puts it directly in /modules, and will not override the /modules/*/ramzswaps.ko, leaving you with 2 ramzswaps.ko. To avoid any conflicts or bugs, I am going to suggest running the remover zip before flashing ANY of the zips below. Simply put the zip on your SDcard, flash it, then flash the kernel of your choice.

Bug is present in all V4 kernels.(use SETCPU/Oc widget and
manually set the frequency in the V4 kernels to avoid this!!)
*Fixed a mistake I made when performing freemem tweak on the V4 kernels,
those who used the V4 kernels with freemem killer tweak that experienced
lag/slowness/stuff closing when it shouldn't/, should have no problems with
the vUV kernels with freemem killer tweak.

*Added separate update.zips for Fresh, Damage, Honeybun, and Infinitefx
in an attempt to solve problems with failed boots on infinitefx rom, and to
allow for lowmem tweaks in fresh roms without effecting damage roms!
*Tweaked lowmemkiller settings for Fresh and Infinitefx roms
(Honeybun is already using a tweak; gumbo.sh. and
Damage control has lowmemkiller settings accessible in Dconfig)
*A Fresh 2.0b version, just for fun!(I was testing with Fresh 2.0d and had

So it's just Darch's kernel for Darchdroid coupled with the ramdisk for Fresh/Dama(which are the same)?
At least that's what I interpreted from the thread at Android Central
.....
Zen also moved away from #89 and BFS because of the onslaught of problems that hampered his ROM with it. He's back at #65 too.
I think we're better off either waiting for Toast to fix up the kernel source (and using #65 in the mean time) or fixing it ourselves. But if this is Darch's kernel that you're coupling the Ramdisks with, you might end up with more problems than what you're trying to fix(but who knows, good luck).

So far so good. Its only untested on DamageControl.
**UPDATED FIRST POST WITH LINKS TO DOWNLOAD AND INFORMATION**
Can I flash this over the DC2.09 with #89 already on it? or will I have to wipe? I want to test it
Also is there a way to remove the original OC flash or someway to leave me back to stock speeds?

Simply Nandroid first (incase the **** hits the fan), and flash the zip posted above for damage roms =D. No need to wipe.
Someone could build you an Update.zip using damages rom zip to restore the original kernel, if you wanted to go back to that.
Good luck, and let me know how it goes =D.
I'm using the rom posted by nfinitefx45 with DB-F-OC-Boot(fresh), testing with good results
does this also fix the GPS not locking on?
or is that just me?
i've tried 4 different OC roms and each of them i can't lock onto my position on GPS *closest is within 1000m*
on non OC roms it locks on to even what room i'm in in my house.

I know this was common on early DarchDroid Builds, but has since been resolved, I never knew of the issue on sense based roms. But on a side note, I can say the GPS works great for me on honeybun+this kernel as well as fresh 2.1.2+this kernel.

Its my kernel, but not the same found in darchdroid. I compiled specifically for this purpose as the OP requested it. It'll only work with sensui roms as it uses the htc touch synaptics source.

Ha yeah. I tried my best to interpret it but was completely lost when I tried to piece everything together with my past knowledge about the differences between your kernel and toasts(notice the 15 edits on my first post LOL). So can we safely blame BFS(or at least its implementation)?
Called my phone more than 20 times in various states with no issues. Sick work!

I can't comment on this issue, because I have not experienced data connection drops with the sprint kernel, toasts kernel #89, or this kernel.
Be sure your on the newest PRL, and have updated your profile. Do you have mobile data always on enabled or disabled?
AnyKernel zips will only replace the kernel in your boot.img.
To define a boot.img:
Kernel(zImage) + ramdisk(root file system + init scripts) = boot.img
Where AnyKernel came from:
While searching for different kernels for my Motorola Droid I stumbled on a great idea implemented by Koush. Basically it will split the boot.img from recovery while your phone is running then replace the kernel and make a new boot.img and flash it along with the correct modules for the kernel.
I figured I would implement it on the CDMA Hero and it worked out.
This will work on any rooted rom with a custom recovery running Sense UI including the stock rom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the undervolted and overclocked kernels for Sense ROMS
These kernels are built from the HTC heroc-2.6.29-bc0d2ccf source with toasts overclock patch modified by darchstar/Decad3nce to include undervolt.
The git repo for this is @ http://github.com/zenulator/htc-heroc-2.6.29-bc0d2cff
The GPL license can be read @ http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html
ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 no perf lock
It has perf lock disabled to allow full overclocking with out the need use setcpu to disable perf lock. The clock speeds will stay at what ever the target rom uses unless you running a rom with no overclock built in. If so it will scale from 19mhz to 768mhz.
Download
ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 perf lock
Same as above but with perf lock enabled. It will run at stock values on any sense Rom until you use setcpu. To overclock it you will need to set setcpu to autodetect and then disable perf lock inside setcpu.
Download
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
StockVoltage Overclocked Kernel:
This kernel is built from the same source as the rest except the voltages were changed to stock values. It will max out at 691 and the governor is set to performance.
Download
Setcpu is free for xda memebers and can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3638937&postcount=1
Instructions:
Download the update and copy it to the root of your sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Nandroid (just in case you want to go back)
Flash the update
Reboot
Check Settings > About phone > Software information > Kernel version
_____________________________________________________________________________
If you wish to modify this with another kernel just extract the update and replace the zImage in the kernel directory with the one you want and replace the corresponding modules. Then rezip and resign and flash. It will work on any 2.1 sense rom regardless of boot.img.
Damn good work zenulator I am downloading it now and will test thoroughly tomorrow and see how it go's.
Thanks for the hard work.
Works great, using it with your beta ROM. Lock screen lag is gone
I got used to it so I barely noticed it... but now it seems a lot faster
I know you just started this and it says for sense. But I gotta ask is there anyway that this will work with froyo? I'm not a fan of overclock roms because of the lag when you push the menu key till when you screen is actually ready to go. And this gives me hope
of having a kernel that doesn't do that

Yes it will work for froyo if you modify it and put in the correct zImage (kernel). It won't work with the update I posted since it's made for Sense roms and uses HTC's Synaptics driver which isn't compatible with AOSP 2.2 Froyo/Cyanogenmod.
If you want a AOSP kernel with no overclock and no ability to overclock at all then I can do that but not for a couple days. If you ask darch he might be able to do it quicker since he already has everything set up and most likely only two files will need to be changed before a compile.

Uhh. I'm going to give a brief explanation.
AnyKernel is a tool created by Koushik Dutta found here on github.
The beauty of it is that it can flash/add a kernel to any boot.img regardless of ramdisk. It literally does the unpacking of the boot.img, extracting of the ramdisk, deletion of the original kernel and repacking of the boot.img together with the kernel of your choice.
The difference with this is probably changes in base address/cmd line and possible how it's extracted(haven't looked at it). Very awesome tool nonetheless, and is a lot more efficient that going through the process of coupling the kernel with each specific ramdisk before releasing a boot.img.
That's how it's different from your quoted "kernel".

I understand the explanation but have to ask what rge different change. I know this will just change the kernal from the boot imiage which is great and it has the HTC synaptic drivers in the kernal but that kernal with the HTC drivers has already been implemented into the latest boot.imgs. its a cool concept and would make it easier to change just the kernal for a one shot stop when a newer kernal comes out but as of right now that's the same kernal most of the sense based roms have already implemented into them at this time. If im wrong I'm sorry.
Now with the HTC Synaptics driver included, the swipe action once the screen is on is no longer lagged. However, I notice that there is still lag from the time the power button is hit to the time the screen comes on as compared to stock where there is almost no lag. Is there some other driver or something that causes this?
Well just an update but it has been very smooth so far, 8 hours as still smooth . Great job. Screen rotation and scroll seem quicker also .

This will just make it a lot easier instead of having multiple boot.img for different roms like in the other thread. Plus this will work on other roms not supported in the other thread. I know the kernel brings nothing new but for instance if someone wants to overclock my old ZenHero they can now do that. Or if someone just rooted their phone and installed RA or some other recovery this is all they need to over clock and still keep their stock system.
So when someone makes a new kernel they can use this and have it work on any Rom instead of just a specific Rom.

Now with the HTC Synaptics driver included, the swipe action once the screen is one is no longer lagged. However, I notice that there is still lag from the time the power button is hit to the time the screen comes on as compared to stock where there is almost no lag. Is there some other driver or something that causes this?

I've always wondered about this delay with the OC kernels as well.

Makes sense. I thought about it actually and it will make things easier. I used it earlier today on a boot.img I flashed first that had the ramdisk mod for battery tweak but I think was missing the HTC synaptic driver. Lag is all gone and it worked great.

It's definitely going to make it easier for me at least since I plan on doing a bunch of new kernels based on toasts and darchstars work. As well as the official HTC kernel with toasts overclock.

Now this is what I'm talking about
I was looking for something like this. Darchstar is one helluva dev, but it seems like the only kernels in use these days are Toasts (base) then modded toast kerenels by Darchstar (which are great as well). But I'd like to see a couple of tweaks fixed in the most recent Kernel #6 such as the typo that Uroshiol mentioned that is located in the actual zImage in the DArchstar uv2 kernel 710 with freememkiller
Nice nice work ya'llz and great stuff Zen... makes the addition of new kernels a breeeeze
Wait...so there is an under volted, oc kernel available for nfinite's .6 stock rom that eliminates the menu button wake lag?? i dont like the lag but deal with it. although if there is a way to eliminate the lag, please share!!
Zen, you're definitely an unsung hero (no pun intended I swear) around these parts and I for one definitely appreciate your work. Cheers!
Hi. I want to overclock my i5800 but i don't want to install new kernel. I tried CM7 ROM and I liked more the original one.
So... Have any possibility to overclock without install a new kernel? Or... Install a kernel with ONLY a modification to overclock.
Since you are using CM7, you also have a new kernel.
The new kernel was required to make CM7 work.
If you also have Update 1 for Alpha 6 installed, I believe you can Overclock to 100 MhZ.
Dympy.
No. I'm not using CM7, I using a original ROM from samsung again. CM7 has a lot of fails at the moment.
I rooted my phone, so I can install kernels. But I don't want to change all kernel, only I wanted to overclock the CPU. It is possible? There is a kernel with the only change is the overclock?
First, you should flash new kernel ( recommend g3mod v2.2.1 OC). Then, install setcpu for OC. And link to download g3mod:
Code:
g3mod.com/g3rm/index.php?about=none
Yes, I know that if I install new kernel like g3mod I can overlock, the question is about don't change the original kernel....
Or the possibility to modify the original samsung kernel to ONLY open the possibility to overclock.
as far as my knowledge u wont OC ur process without install the kernel which supports over-clock...
You are saying that you want to drive a car at 400kmph but you don't wanna drive a veyron, and that's impossible
To overclock, you need to make some changes in the kernel, although it is possible to have a kernel with nothing more but overclocking, but why don't you use fugumod or g3mod.
I tried the CM7 ROM. And I don't liked the menus, the aspect, and the power button functions. I like how is from samsung, only I want more speed on CPU
I'm looking for the same solution! I like the original Samsung ROM, but I really want to overlock the CPU! I used Kyrillos' ROM v9.4, but I was not satisfied with it, so I've reinstalled the original ROM.
So pros, please give us a solution!

Flash a oc kernel with odin and keep your stock rom
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda premium
on my test mobile I have installed the XXJPU stock ROM
flashed the G3 performance 1.9 kernel, works perfect
by default the kernel runs at 800MHz
install setcpu (root required) and you can adjust the cpu
so in two words:
stock ROM with stock kernel -> no cpu adjustment possible
stock ROM with other kernel -> set your cpu in a range you like
Anyone else notice that the new T-Mobile ICS firmware is incompatible with mods like Leedroid Tweaks, as well as incompatible with the bricked kernel? The menubar crashes repeatedly with Leedroid Tweaks, and the bricked kernel bricked WiFi for me
I am slowly adding some tweaks into my own build, like init.d support, build.prop tweaks, GPS tweaks, etc... but there are some things that are better left to the experts... like kernels and framework modification.
The rom is probably odex'd. You'd have to de-odex the rom to many some framework changes.
Kernel I'm not sure.

I solved one of the problems... I flashed an insecure boot image (from the ARHD 6.6.4 zip) using the 4-EXT Recovery Control app, then flashed the bricked kernel. All seems good there.
Settings and framework apks are not the same as the euro 3.32. Leedroid tweaks will not work even on a deodexed build...
The tweaks will need to be rebuilt around the new release to work properly...

Gotcha... It will be nice when it is rebuilt. I miss my EQS and MIUI battery bar
Is there someone that can make a custom kernel for GB starting from Samsung sources?
For custom I mean with OC and configurable voltage and built with optimized toolchains.
I know this take time and GB is outdated, but I'll like to have a clean optimized and stable kernel to apply tweks on init.d
I've tried to do it by myself reading guides and using the tools I've find on XDA but without success. (I'm a mess).

why you don't use brood kernel ?
you may ask Markey97 to do this , he had a ginger kernel before I think :

broodkernel is good but there's no voltage control.
