hi...I have bigxie apex ics rom on my nexus s and when i flash matr1x kernel 19.5cfs it starts to freeze. Works just fine with the stock kernel. Also when i was using the cm9 it worked fine with the stock but when i flashed matr1x kernel it started to freeze and reboot. Please help!
His kernel is undervolted by default. The phone might not be able to handle the voltages. I have no idea how to fix it though since you can't even get past the full boot. Better off going with something else.
had the same issue, just use another kernel or raise voltages. i've got no idea why everyone recommends matr1x, UV by default just doesn't make sense since every cpu behaves differently. it's like selling "one size fits all" t-shirts. i recommend simple kernel or trinity, they are the most stable ones on my phone apart from stock obviously.

The most known product doesn't mean it's the more fitting for everyone. It just means it's popular. *shrugs*
I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the people using it don't even know it's undervolted, sadly.
thankyou for the replies...i will try the trinity kernel
You all argue about matrix yeah its undervolted so?? You need to raise your voltage to to make it stable because not all phones can handle undervolted values. It's been address millions times and you all still argue.? Goddamit!! (Bunch of noobs) try to solve the problem first before suggesting another kernel. It so irritating you all. I'm sure matrix dev despise you all because of your.ignorance.

I am guessing most people do know that it is undervolted. If they don't, I wouldn't understand why. He plainly states that if you have freezing issues to raise your voltages right in the FAQ. I have been running the Matr1x since gb and have never had issues with the undervoting. Perhaps your phone can't take it.
If people aren't smart enough to read what the developer has to say, why would he set it to the higher voltages and expect users to move the voltages down themselves. You imply the common user is not smart enough to do it themselves. So what does that leave the developer to do? He can make it like he thinks it should be or make it for the idiots that can't or won't read the op comments.
People need to understand kernels run differently on every phone. So instead of whining they should just move on.

Or that the common user is prone to not reading and just going ahead and flashing.

Exactly! Read everything first. Educate your self before attempting anything. Just because you can flash doesn't mean you should without understanding anything about what it does or will do to your phone. FAQ is there for you to become familiar with what issues have happened and might happen to you. Yes the Matrix thread is long but I read a lot of it to understand what it was, issues and what others are saying. Just like any ROM, Kernel or mod you plan on trying, read the thread first. :thumbup:
Hope I don't sound like I'm complaining but most threads are started or answered wrong because of this. Good luck :thumbup:

This is what I was getting at and it somehow got interpreted wrong. It wasn't a dig at mathkid and any of the regular users on here. There are a lot of new users on here and many flash stuff excitedly and don't fully read stuff. I've been there before. Its still a common mistake.

I'm sure almost all (if not all) of you that have obtained root on your Incredible (which this app requires) know what this app is and possibly have even used it in the past. There doesn't appear to be any Incredible specific modifications made to the app yet, but I just wanted to throw this out there. As always, be VERY careful with overclocking, esp. with this CPU (I personally wouldn't try anything over 1.2ghz). If you feel your phone getting hot, don't keep running it! Also neither the author, XDA or I take any responsibility in the case that you toast your Incredible.

I thought we'd need a modded kernel to run it over 1.2 Ghz? How can we do that with just rooting the phone and installing setcpu?
Or I'm way off and I have no idea what I'm thinking lol..

no, you are correct. i have built the kernel (HTC release) w/ the required changes. but have not been able to flash
Wow I wasn't aware of the kernel limits, or maybe I subconsciously read it somewhere since I threw 1.2ghz out there (over the last couple weeks I've been dealing with a cold I can't seem to shake so I blame a combination of insomnia+Nyquil... mmm Nyquil).
Id say its worth some green to get that kernel. I have been looking high and low to find one. seems that the demand is there but not the development. Let me know if you get it up and running and I'll donate to the cause.
Just wish I could develop it at this point, but getting the phone rooted was a task for me. Even with video instructions....
I looked around but it doesnt appear that we dont have an sbc kernel, so Im calling out to see if as dev would be willing to make one.
i second that. we def need sbc for nexus s and nexus s 4g. i love the phone, but it never charges to 100% always stalls at 94-95. I have used SBC on evo since it came it came out. never had any issues. and the battery life was amazing. hopefully someone takes the initiative and cooks a sbc kernel.
thanx in advance

I think netarchy said it would not be possible on the ns 4g. He also recommends not using them anyway. I trust his judgement
The jury is out on that one. The SBC for the evo I used since the beginning and never had an issue, just amazing battery life. Though I am getting great battery life on this phone too. Not sure what the complaints are. Try an evo first then come to the nexus. The difference will be astounding.

it can be done. i respect netarchy's opinion, but at the end of the day its his opinion. not a fact. like many others i haven't had a single issue with SBC on my evo. if netarchy is worried about causing damage to the phone we shouldnt be using custom kernels at all. we should't be OC . he is contradicting himself. like i said i respect his work and his opinion, but it should be upto people to decide if they want to install SBC or not. SBC is just as bad as OC your phone. At the end of the day with OC you might ruin your phone with SBC you will just ruin your battery. i am willing to take that chance. i hope and wish someone will incorporate SBC. Hopefully its Tiamat. his kernels are a piece of work. i have used all of their kernels for my evo (netarchy, savaged, tiamat) and tiamat came out victorious time and time again.

I never said it couldn't be done. I said it would probably not end up in my builds.
I've made no contradiction to myself, I personally don't support it. I made it available in some evo builds by request with an -at your own risk, unsupported- approach.
There are established and definite risks with truly charging a lithium ion battery to full capacity. On the low end of the spectrum, you may simply be shortening some time off the full life of the battery. Whether or not you run into it is a crapshoot of course.
I believe the comment of mine you're going off of was from yesterday at a point in my day when I was already in somewhat of a foul mood from events happening in life, so I was probably a bit harsher than intended (and I've made an edit to try and clear up any possible confusion). ;D
That said, I believe you are more likely to damage the battery in the long term than you are to damage your phone by trying to overclock with the safety caps where they are in my builds.
I also happen to believe that there is a lot more to running a custom kernel than simply the ability to OC, so implying that one shouldn't run a custom kernel because of any potential to damage the phone from overclocking is silly.
Maybe I'm being overly paranoid on the topic of SBC. If that is the case, I can always reserve the right to admit that I was wrong on a topic. I've been wrong about something before, I'll be wrong about something again in the future; I'm human after all ;D.
All that said, the first thing to do if you want to adapt SBC over is most likely to see what power levels are used as caps in the charging code.

Very good response and I respect both sides of the argument cause none of us really has definitive proof. I just came from an Evo and used SBC kernels for as long as they were out. I love them and miss having that "boost" on my Nexus 4G. Regarding the life of my battery, I figured that when that time came, I'd just buy a new battery.
Either way, thanks to the devs for their hard work.
Users that visit this site don't keep their phones long enough to see the battery degrade (my opinion). I used sbc since it was first released and I only experienced better battery life, nothing negative. I'll use your kernel with sbc or without, you do good work. Its your kernel.

I agree...My batt life on my evo sucked and I used sbc and it made it alot better...allthough on this 4g the stock kernel still blows away the evo in batt life period, i was just looking for that little extra ooomph
now for the person who said thats why the rest of the android users hate cdma. Im all for GSM but in arizona all gsm carriers suck. But I do envy the gsm technology it is power effiecent, slimmer, and generally better hardware.
I also searched for SBC in the forums...didnt see anything that really pertained, all though it was also midnight when I looked.
Thanks for your insight netarchy. I love your work, if I knew how to do It I would. I used to build roms for winmo devices...but for the life of me I cant wrap my head around this android dev ****.
I don't know what sbc is I guess I misread netarchy's post about it in the general section. My apologies.

its cool dude. we all crappy days. i respect your work and your opinion and i/we don't take all you devs for granted. I know you guys do it bc you have a passion for it. Thanx for responding.
Yes, I FINALLY did it!!! I overclocked my G2X. I would appreciate if anyone could share their experiences with o.c. pros and cons... Should I retreat or stay where I am? Please some feed back!
Over 1300 seems to cause trouble on mine.
i dont think oc'ing is really that necessary with a phone this fast but if u must i wouldn't go above 1.3 (just seems unstable above that). I think the "Pros" come from being able to underclock. Setting up profiles for uc'ing when screen is off or as battery level drops etc really prolongs the life of the battery (at least in my case)
On my OG droid that came limited at 550 mhz, ya, oc'ing was def necessary but I cant really think of any "Pros" for oc'ing this phone.
each phone is different though so play around and you'll find a combination that works great for your phone, good luck
Well... you can get some serious bench scores... This thing rocks the Mandelbrot multithread test in smartbench 2011 at 1.5 ghz. Other than that it helps with games.

What about the CPU not having enough cooling and frying the CPU over time. I presume its just like Desktop overclocking but without all the extra cooling you can add to make it safe for the hardware.

But what i really want to know is if oc could damage the phone. After all if there is that danger it's noy worth it...
In all honesty I used to be really into benchmark scores and OCing the heck out of my phone and under volting it in the process but that led to many battery pulls ect. What I've noticed is just keep it at stock and mild uving seems to be the best for me its stable decently fast just 2 cents though
Overclocking a cpu is the same as on a pc, only a bit more dangerous on a phone. (This phone already has overheating problems running at stock speeds ) On a computer, people pay a premium for parts that are easily overclocked, and have either very good fans/heatsinks or a liquid cooling rig.
Overclocking is dangerous, especially because not all chips are going to be made equal, even if they come off the same production line. These chips are designed to run at a certain voltage, and certain clock speed. As far as real world use, (NOT benchmarks. Sure, they look pretty and all, but benchmarks are never very accurate.)
Sure, you might get 2-3 more fps on your games, but is that worth the risk of shortening the life of your chip/phone?
(And just so you know, I've been building/overclocking pc's for years, but I also understand what you need to do to keep it stable, and it's *all about cooling*.)
If you're not convinced, try this. Don't overclock your phone, and use it for a few days. Tell me honestly that you really notice a real-usable difference with the chip overclocked or not. (Games set aside, but like I said, getting a couple extra fps on a game to me isn't worth the risk without a proper cooling setup)
For those of you that really don't understand what you're doing to your chips when you overclock, I'd suggest doing some reading about it. A good place to start would be here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking
So you think using fauxs kernel is not safe or reduces the life of the chip? I just flashed it and didnt oc or uv further then fauxs default settings...
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I'm not saying it's for sure, I'm saying there's a chance.
Plus keep in mind that these kernels have other really nice additions besides overclocking and undervolting. I'm using faux's stock voltage kernel ext4, and leaving it at stock settings, and it really works great.
I just posted this up because I see a lot of people more interested in quadrant scores (which to me are pretty useless) than stability of their phones. If you do overclock, and it works for you, more power to you. I just want to inform people. I'd HIGHLY suggest if you aren't sure, read that wiki article, it's a great place to start. (not all information is there, but it gives a very good general idea on how and what overclocking is.)
Thanks! i always like reading knowledgeable and informative posts!

OK, you definitely convinced me.... I have also faux (let me tell you exactly - Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 FR Faux 123-v0.03) on EagleBlood 1.05. Could you please tell me what I need to do set up in order to be safe? Thanks!
I'd just go to faux's thread in the development section (his froyo thread, not the cm7 one, since you're using eagleblood), and download his stock voltage kernel. (It's in the first post.) He's on .04 now, by the way.
Then reboot into recovery, and flash the file you downloaded. It'll overwrite your current kernel and modules with the new one, then reboot.

And a lot of times the kernel will be credited to the developer. So if you see "faux's kernel" people are referring to kernels by faux123. Trinity kernels were developed by morfic. If you are having a hard time finding a specific one, look at the top left to see who started the thread and sometimes that will help find it. Does that make sense?

Hello,
I am running stock ROM with S-oFF and rooted. Ive got setCPU running via the methods used for temp root. (Basically pulled the code from the BAT files everyone used to overclock and temp root). It works alright, but after a reboot, I have to redo it.
I see people are running ROMs that include setCPU. How does a custom ROM manage to keep setCPU "set" after a reboot? Can the methods be used for the stock ROMers?
Also, I see that setCPU requests SU hundreds of times a day when I look at the SuperUser logs. Why is this? Is it bad?
Thanks,
Matt

thank you for the reply! Is this something that a stock rom could implement in its own? Or, should I consider flashing a custom rom?
Thanks,

Its a little hit and miss right now unfortunately. The kernels can still be buggy on some devices, though they, in theory, should work on a stock device. If you have issues you can always just flash the stock kernel back. Some love it and have no issues, others not so much. In fact some devs have stopped bundling their kernels with their roms and leave them as optional add ons because of issues.
Is cm7 expected do implement overclocking? If so, I may just wait for them to finish.
Matt
Not sure...they are playing cm7 for the sensation very close to the chest, lol, but I don't think so. Just a guess though.

Ahh...I guess that only time will tell what sort of advancements come in the way of overclocking (reliably and efficiently).
My theory is that setCPU is the cause for my headaches and may be the cause of most others using it as well. (Crappy battery despite conservative governors as well as phone freezes and data connectivity issues). Seeing setCPU request SU a few thousand times a day seems suspicious. I have it frozen for now, well see how things go.
Matt
I don't know for sure either, but I suspect you might be right, at least to an extent.
Well the thing is I don't know wich kernel to pair up with Hellfire Phoenix 2.1 so far it's what I have liked the most.
The stock kernel gives funky battery readings, I tried trinity ELP kernel but my phone doesn't last much as I'd like it to maybe I'm asking for too much from my g2x.
So what I would like to know is what kernel should I try for the best battery lifespan I am normally using 4g with pandora but while giving it this use and texting from time to time /checking facebook it doesn't last me through half a day I start using the phone from around 6-6:30 Am and by 1 pm my phone is at 20%. I give it breaks of around 1-3 hours in wich I disable data/ I also keep sync and wifi disabled.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and +Thanks will be given to those that are helpful
PS.I have yet to try Eaglesblood 2.3.7 is it worth compared to hellfire ?
Using data on the phone like Pandora and Facebook for one hour will drop my battery about 15-20% on 4g so, 5 hours worth is about normal in my opinion if you plan on doing that all the time I suggest extra batteries or extended. You're simply asking too much IMO!

Thought so "( Either way With what Kernel could I get the best out of hellfire phoenix 2.1? Also I'm confused on some things like with the trinity ELP kernel it says it's 1.1ghz/UC does that mean it is undervolted while being overclocked by 100mhz (just making sure) also in CM settings I have the option of setting the cpu speed.. now if I set it lets sayy 750mhz is it also undervolting it?
I'm sure I don't need 1ghz for the use I give it most of the time I could just change it back when I
m in the mood for gaming or does this scale depending on the task?
Sorry for so many questions I'm still new to this and I want to be sure of everything

I'd say either the kernel you have now or Faux UV version... look up the thread that shows "how to undervolt" (or something close) and go that route if you truly want to get the best battery life (I don't undervolt as I get the battery I need for my daily activities.)

So Faux123 Kernels are the ones people use the most for what I've seen.
I'm not sure wich faux kernel I have It says 2.6.32.56 CM7 Faux123-049, I checked the thread and latest is 0.48 soo I'm a bit lost there
I've also seen some people say they prefer the trinity kernel because it was released later.
I've tried both the stock Faux that comes with hellfire and the trinity I do not see any difference whatsoever in battery life or stability ( trinity does score significantly higher on benchmarks)
I could careless about benchmarks haven't ran one since I got this phone and oc'ed it to 1.5 to see what would happen... other wise they are just options some of our phones can't handle certain kernels... play with them and see which you like more. My only advice is faux cm version lol ds causes the funky readings.

faux 049b5 is for ICS roms, 048 is for GB roms. Don't mix them up or rom won't boot.
Doing anything on 4g will drain your battery much faster. If you can switch to 2g/3g networks while not using data, it can save a lot of battery power. Try Juicedefender ultimate also. It helps in toggling/switching options for you.
Every phone is different plus everyonez preferences/usage are unique. Best bet is to try both for a week or so and then decide for yourself.

Anyways I flashed the 1.1ghz/UV Faux it's working with no problems so far I'll stick with this unless it gives me any kind of problem. I will look forward on getting me one of those 3500mah batteries Price/performance they seem worth it though the phone would be fat haha but w.e I like using my data without worrying of low battery through the day.
This is unrelated but just throwing it out there. The Camera ICS+ works great I see an improvement in picture quality compared to the stock and the interface is lovely
Have you not been reading anything on any of these forum's?
I know your new to this ( as you stated) but you keep asking questions that can easily be answered by just searching and reading the forums,
i keep trying to help you by (doing the searching for you) but you just keep asking the same questions over and over,
you have like at least three different forums were you keep asking about kernal's ( and in several of them i have giving you links that should answer just about every thing you need to know about kernals) if you would actually just read them.
Im not trying to flame you... its just that you keep making new threads asking pretty much the same stuff, we can tell if someone is taking the easy way out and just saying that "they searched and didn't find any thing"
the people on here that would actually help you out, know better.
because they read the forums just about every day so we know how many forums that are out their, on subjects such as kernals, like the 3 threads you started asking about them.
so again read and most of your questions will be answerd...

He's right only reason I answered and didn't reply in this manner, was cause you typed out so much and I felt bad for you lol... If you answer I don't have time to read and such, then you shouldn't even have time to root the device. Laziness is pretty frowned upon on XDA. The more you read the more you would find out that everyone has different experiences with kernels. Try them out and figure it out on your own... if you have thread already about a kernel or a specific rom to choose stick to that thread and don't make a new one, as it just causes clutter for people that do use the search function, as when they search for something like "which kernel" they get

even more particular in the Hellfire 2.1 thread search "which kernel" and get this

Faux has 049 for CM7 according to above link, which is baked into HFP 2.1.

Well the thing is I don't know wich kernel to pair up with Hellfire Phoenix 2.1 so far it's what I have liked the most.
The stock kernel gives funky battery readings, I tried trinity ELP kernel but my phone doesn't last much as I'd like it to maybe I'm asking for too much from my g2x.
So what I would like to know is what kernel should I try for the best battery lifespan I am normally using 4g with pandora but while giving it this use and texting from time to time /checking facebook it doesn't last me through half a day I start using the phone from around 6-6:30 Am and by 1 pm my phone is at 20%. I give it breaks of around 1-3 hours in wich I disable data/ I also keep sync and wifi disabled.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and +Thanks will be given to those that are helpful
PS.I have yet to try Eaglesblood 2.3.7 is it worth compared to hellfire ?

ELP voltages are probably too low for you, thus actually causing higher drain. Try the T15 and under volt until you find your sweet spot
