Hello everyone, I have a g2x running cm7 trigger2 build, android version 2.3.5. I would like to overclock but I'm not sure about what kernel to use and what app to go with it. Some say pimp my CPU but I need to be sure. Help!

I have.been trying to over clock my infuse on CM7 to 1600 mhz, but every time I set it, and reboot... my phone goes into a weird boot loopish kind of thing, and I try this overclock through the stock cm7 settings and not using set cpu, because using that app is when its at its.worse.... so I'm wondering has anyone else had this issue? Ran into it b4? And knows a fix for it? I'm on the latest cm7 build just fyi thanx in advance

Maybe ur phone can't handle 1600. Just a thought!

I don't think we have a CM7 kernel with overclock yet. Unless I missed it.

Default kernel support overclock.
Also, my Infuse gets 1.6 GHz stable, but I underclock to 800 MHz :3
I'm using Rom toolbox on my Skyrocket running CM9 and I love it but can anyone help me manage my battery life and also help me with overclocking? I'm also running a custom kernel.

There's a performance option in your phone setting where you'll be able to overclock the processor if wanted. As for battery life you can turn off surface dithering and turn on 16 bit transparency, use wifi as much as available, use an app such as system tuner to underclock your processor(be careful to not uv too much and don't save profile until your sure it's stable), also search for battery tips using google or the above search bar as there are plenty of threads set up for such things
It depends on the kernel. If you *safely* overclock to, say, 1.78 and you're using the badass governor, you should also consider moderately undervolting if you are looking for improved battery life. Download System Tuner and lower the voltage by 50-75 mv for each frequency level. Depending on your ROM and kernel, you may have to do this each time your phone reboots (if you save your custom voltage, you can just re-load your voltage table if needed). But again, you can only do this on certain kernel's.
Also, a couple of things:
First, avoid using profiles with custom governors. Second, Rom Toolbox will only get you so far. It's a good tool to have, but System Tuner and SetCPU are your best bet for managing your oc/uv/governors/etc.
I'm on the instigatorx kernel would that make a difference?

Well, yes it does make a difference! That's a good kernel, but there are A LOT of versions of his kernel. If you're running a version later than v5.4.5 you should be good. Also, play around with the governors and see which one works best for you. SmartassV2, Wheatley, Conservative, badass, (sometimes) lulzactive, and some of the others can work better depending on how you use your device and your specific settings. It will vary from device to device, but I've had a lot of success with badass.
Badass and smartass aren't options why is that?

Another problem I'm having is using system tuner every time I try to change the CPU settings its says failed to change CPU settings

You may have a bad flash of the kernel, try to re flash.

EDIT:
If you re-flash InstigatorX and it still doesn't give you governor options, here is the badass script.. Download here and flash.
The other governor scripts are available in the InstigatorX OP, and you can flash them individually.
But, you *shouldn't* need these if you're on v6.0.2 or later of the kernel.
Also, are you sure you're still rooted? I've seen several people that flash a custom ROM and kernels, and they still have CWM or TWRP recovery, but they lost root in the ROM. Some ROMs are pre-rooted, some aren't.. and you can probably just flash the SuperUser zip (or SuperSU zip) to correct this if you lost root.
How do i know if im running the newest version?

Settings -> About Phone.. scroll to the bottom and you should see all the kernel and ROM version info.
Oh wow now i feel dumb because i already knew that lol thanks i check it out and let you know in a few

I used tegrak overclockto get to 1.3GHz on my Samsung Galaxy S 4G while running stock Gingerbread.
Now on ICS, is there anyway to overclock? I tried using tegrak again, but it failed when loading the module.
I am running this rom - [ROM][MTD]CyanogenMod 9.0.0-rc2 UNOFFICIAL by TeamAcid[R6][Jul-29-2012]
Flash the Hefe kernel from jeffsf in the Dev forum.

Hey guys I heard there was a way that you can overclock the Verizon Galaxy s3 using terminal emulator. If so can some pleade tell me how. If not can you tell me how to overclock my phone anyways.
By the way I am using the clean rom v5.6

Cleanrom uses the stock kernel which you cant overclock. You can flash kt747/leankernel/faux and then you can overclock via a app like setcpu or system tuner.
Can I continue to use the clean rom and still flash a new kernel?

Yes, take any touchwiz jb kernel find them in the android original dev section, follow directiosn, then if it has its own app like ktweaker for kt47 kernel, use that, if not, voltage control free from the play store works well.
or you can pay to get the SetCPU app. I also suggest getting a ktoonsez kernal with the app built in. Lets you adjust more than setcpu
