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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
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.

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'm having a weird issue with the infusion kernel A that when I lock the screen the backlights of the 4 buttons flash every so many seconds. Reeeeeeally annoying. I downloaded BLN and disabled backlight notifications but this is still happening. Anyone know how tp fix it?

Flash infusion kernel. I assume your on defused?

Go into recovery and go into advanced and disable it from there
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Um I went to recovery and advanced and didn't see the option. My recovery is green and then it switched over to a red one and said voodoo. It happened after I selected "key test" and hit the back button. Also I selected the "reboot in download mode" or something like that and a screen came up saying downloading don't shut off. Well it got stuck so I shut it off haha. But nothing bad happened. Anyways I don't know if I have the option. :/

Haha I will just one more question. Can I simply flash it over the kernel I currently have with out any bad effects. And what will be the difference between the two? Besides maybe fixing the bln issue. And which recovery and I supposed to have? That was three questions actually lol

I suggest flashing the Defuse 1.4 kernel - it doesn't do overclocking but it's solid and stable. Don't flash 1.5 - it has BLN too.
Every attempt to implement BLN on our phones has led to flakiness and instability.
Other option - upgrade to Gingerbread, that's where all the kernel development is these days.

Haha I said screw it and went to Infused. Wanna see how this baby runs on that with the tweaks DynamicRam posted. Thanks for the input guys. I'm honestly going to wait until the OG Gingerbread comes out to upgrade. I love having EVERYTHING on the phone work haha
Hey guys I just opened up SetCPU and the voltage tab went away and so did the overclocking. This happened right after I flashed Infused rom anyone know why? Should I just flash the Kernel over top? I mean I was trying to avoid that because of the bin issue

Defuse isn't an overclock kernel. You have a choice of overclocking with some instability, or stability without overclocking.
How safe is it exactly?
I can't yet post in the developer thread. But I did it, opened SetCPU, and noticed nothing changed. Did I do something wrong? I used the CM Kernel.
CM Kernel isn't capable of overclocking. You'll need Faux123's or Morfic's kernels.
So is it safe if I install that one with the cm kernel installed on it?
Or is there anyway of removing the cm kernel?

Kernels overwrite the currently installed one. Ttabals dragon kernel will also work. Do the homework before flashing though. Everything you'll need is in the development section. Overclocking and undervolting each have risks, so does changing your ROM. Follow instructions exactly.

Hey everyone. I'm wondering if you recommend useing the stock repacked kernel it comes with or the imoseyon 4.0 kernel?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
If you don't need init.d, the extra governors, custom boot animations, or CIFS support, I'd go with Infinity kernel. If you need any of those, use imo.
I just want the most speed and stability. Are they both about the same?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
I would bet on Infinity in that case. It has less done to it, so there is less to go wrong.
Ok sounds good

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
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
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
