1. Just like the title, i want to ask you guys which rom and kernel you guys are using now and which ones do you think are the best for overclocking nexus s cpu?
2. How did you set the settings? e.g. TWEAK, CPU, VOLT and etc..
I am currently using a korean rom called 'Provision' rom and Air 4.0.
Please reply in details
Morfic's Trinity kernel is easily the best overclocker/performance beast. Pretty much every other kernel supports LiveOC, Voltage control and Frequency control, which can all be set through NSTools.
I think that trinity T132 with cyberGR v10 is the best combo for overclock and overall speed
trinity t144 kernel is best for ocing/performance(if your phone can handle it, many cant but some phones love it), otherwise id say that trinity t132 is best.
voltage
I've just flashed T132 on my phone and it works very well.
Smooth but not that noticable.
Is there any way to set voltages up as well?
You guys also may want to try set cpu

I just installed Serendipity 2.0 w/ Glitterballs' latest kernel, which supports OC up t 1.2 GHz, and I wanted to know, is it possible to stably overclock my phone to 1.2 GHz without variable frequency or UV?
If so, how would I go about OCing my phone?
Also, will OCing affect the health of my CPU and lead to increased wear and tear in the long run?
Thanks in advance
If all you want is to overclock, you don't have to change anything.
Unless you plan on keeping your phone for 5 years OC won't do any harm.

Thanks MikeyMike01! Looks like I'm going to OC then. And btw, I'm a huge fan of your ROMs
Does anyone know of some good apps (preferably free) that I can use to overclock a rooted droid charge, with the latest altered beast ROM and kernel?
There aren't any overclock kernels at this point. Its being worked on. Just be patient.

You can try tegrak from the market if you really want oc.
In all honesty, just wait for a kernel to come out that will actually oc. I'd love a kernel that uses voltage control and will wait for that...
Ahh, thanks. This is my first android device so I have no idea what to expect and when
If I can ever get my config straightened out, I was going to look into doing an OC kernel that uses Voltage Control, similar to nemesis2all's kernels for the Fascinate. Still trying to get a working config though.
My opinion though is that OCing the hummingbird processor is useless, and does little for performance on a day-to-day basis and only serves to give you big numbers in benchmarks while reducing battery life.
I mostly used the 1120 step skipping 1000 and scoring serious uv was awesome
So I've been using Morfics Trinity kernels since I got my NS back because they are just awesome, but I once Ezekeel released a kernel I wanted to try something new, I just have a few questions, I am running Quadrant and hitting half the IO as morfics kernels, running Bionix 1.5 which has the IO patch in it so I'm wondering why it's so low.
I have it to Live OC to 110 which gives the same 220mhz bus as Morfics kernels unless I'm mistaken, why is the IO so low compared to morfics and as far as the ARM voltages and INT voltages, what do they control exactly and what is the lowest safest voltage for most NS'. I'm using NSTools for all these mods.
There is a thread on voltages in the dev section, but it will vary from device to device. The lowest safe voltage for yours may be stock, or may be much lower. You could pick one voltage at one freq and lower it by five. Run like that for a few hours. if problem free, pick the next freq and lower that by five... It'll take a while but you'll be more certain of the limits.

its not only about cpu and bus/gpu speeds, otherwise all the kernels here would be at the same performance levels. each of our wonderful developers adds their own recipe of optimizations too. plus it matters how they are compiled(toolchains), kernel versions, and more.
sorry for the noob question, since i can't post on the development thread yet, so i figure i'll try look for the answer here
i've installed the CM7 for fit and also the OC kernel along with it. my question is, what is a UV/GPU module for and how to use it? i've seen my friend's device also with CM7 (not galaxy fit) and there's an extra option in his cyanogenmod settings for UV. it says that it can save battery but make unstable performance. well CM7 in galaxy fit is currently still very battery consuming, i think i need this.
i've tried to install Myrt UnderVolt GUI but it says "unsupported kernel. cannot find undervolt table. click ok to exit". but i'm sure i've installed the kernel supporting UV and GPU module from here.
any suggestion? thx before

UV means under volt module and GPU means graphics processing unit the Kernel is modified to deliver extra performance and Overclock the stock frequency to 801(Till now) About battery and all I don't know if this saves battery(Since you are running your processor at higher speed then recommended)You're likely to finish your juice much faster
If you want to save battery than adjust the frequency to lower values an governor to power save or on demand Though I suggest you dont use the in built system settings to do so Use No-Frills
I bought a nexus S yesterday (the 9023 version), so I unlocked the BL, applied the CWR and flashed the 4.0.4 stock.
However, I feel the phone has more to give (more speed). Also, I suspect that the wifi signal is weak. Which kernel should I apply? I was wondering if I apply the air kernel, but the overclocking to 1.4 ghz kind of "scares me". But I see that OC is applied in other kernels. So, is it provely safe or something?
Also, if in the future I want to go back to stock kernel, all I need to to is flash an official OTA update again (too lose the root and the custom kernel)?
thanks in advance to all!
The custom kernels really can extract more juice from the NS. Try the ones that fits best for you, IMHO the best ones are Steve Garon's, Air Kernel and Franco's.
You can manage the clocks and voltages with NStools, and you don't need to use a daily 40% overclock. These things you can test, each device responds differently to overclock. I'm have a i9023 and actually using 1.32 GHz, it's pretty good.
Also, the feel of responsiveness comes not only by the clock, but also for SD speed and RAM utilization. Franco kernel comes with stock clocks, but the speed when oppening an app or scrolling the photo gallery is very good.

Many thanks for your reply.
Maybe you can point the key advantages of those kernels in your opinion?
The main advantages for me are:
- More controls for clock scaling, you can define how your device will scale up or down the clocks in response to use
- Franco, Steve Garon and Air kernel have tweaks for SD card performance, the responsiveness when opening apps is better
- Steve Garon applies a 10% overclock in the bus, some applications that are GPU bound become more smooth, like browser (facebook and google reader too!)
- Steve Garon's and Air kernel implements methods for lower battery consumption when idle, even with overclock you can achieve the same battery consumption
Personally, my device is now much better than with stock kernel.

Thanks.
My current favorites are Trinity and Matr1x cfs. Steve Garon's kernels were phenomenal, but he's recently retired from nexus development.

What is the most stable? Franco?
