Quick question about x720 and custom rom - Milestone XT720 General

My question is will a custom rom make my phone more stable? For example; the xt720 usually experiences random reboots because I'm assuming there is too much going on for the phone to handle? I've overclocked it to 1ghz with milestone overclock app with setcpu to save battery life. If custom rom wont change anything, I might just keep it stock then again 2.2 with flash would be nice.

What Am I Doing Wrong? (Overclocking Question)

Well, on my Inspire I have flashed a custom rom that gives me up to a 1400 score on my Quadcore tests, yet I see other people hitting 2000-2500, what am I doing wrong? I'm using Core Droid v5.0 with a flashed radio that speeds up my download and upload speeds. Do you guys have any advice on how to speed up my Android?
And by the way, yes I do have set CPU and I have the settings on Max (1024000) and on Minimum (245761) I also have set on boot ticked along with profiles to save battery life. Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
RootTheNoob
Are you running a kernael that can be overclocked?
How can I tell of it can be overlooked, and I'm pretty sure I am its the default core Droid Rom, or do I have to install the kernel separately as well?

The default CoreDroid kernel isn't overclocked. Also if you have an overlooked kernel, setcpu would let you push past 1ghz.

I think you can use the leedroid kernel with coredroid can't you? If so, I'm using that one. It will overclock to 1.8. I only run at 1.2 though.
see post 957:

So what do I set it to to overclock it?
First you have to floash the kernel. The you use the slider in set cpu to overclock.
How do I flash it?
Sounds like you have some reading to do. Download the kernel to the root of your SD card. Then from ROM manager use CWM to flash rom from SD Card. DO A BACK UP FIRST THOUGH. Read the first few leedroid posts and that will help
No, I know how to flash things but what kernel do I use?
What kernel do I use with Core Droid?

it is the 2.2.9. Check his post here and it will tell you what you are getting

Try the Inversely ROM...sure its stock based but the kernel can be oc'd to 1.8.... at 1.5 I got over 2600 and at 1.8 I got a 3309 and could do better sub some tweaking...right now though kernel is not a separate flash package.

Um..should be Ingersoll ROM.
Autocorrect fail....
What also helps is be fully charged...do your quad right after fresh boot and stop/shutdown all background processes you can..that's when you get best score.

Edit: hey he just posted his kernel ad a separate package...will make things interesting.
Guys, none of those kernels worked , I had to restore my Android to a previous backup.
Anything I can do?

Coredroid 5 is based off the the leaked GB rom no custom OC kernels are available. 1500 is about what I get with that rom also. If you want higher quadrant scores you need a froyo 2.2 based rom and kernel.

You'll prolly have to download a Rom with an oc kernel and wipe everything before you install it.
May not be what you want to do...but might be the only way to get what speeds you're wanting.
Otherwise...you'll have to wait till there's an oc kernel for the Rom your using.
yelp there isnt Oc of the core with gingerbread.. they do a 2.2 with oc. i havent done those yet cause i do like this gingerbread.. Im just going to keep with this V5.0 MIUI guys have the OC kernal for their gingerbread but they have more steps than i wanna deal with.

[Q] Suggestion for new ROM for Nexus S

Currently running MIUI 1.99 with Matr1x #5 kernel. Looking to flash a new ROM and/or kernel as it's been awhile. There's so many of each that I don't know where to start. My main priorities are stability and speed.
The only other ROM I've used is Cyanogenmod but I had a lot of issues with random reboots. Have these issues gotten better?
Any ROM suggestions? Thanks
Rooted stock with Matr1x. I recently switched back after months on CM7 doing the nightly flash routine. Don't miss it a single bit.

I don't even remember what the stock rom is like. I got cyanogen almost inmediately after getting my phone. Perhaps I'll try stock... what's the best way to go about doing this? Do i need to unroot my phone?

backup apps with titanium backup + factory reset (wipe data/cache/dalvik) + flash stock rom.
here you can find a great collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
you DO loose root by flashing a stock rom, but you just have to re-flash superuser (and maybe cwm if needed). I find the stock gingerbread rom very fast and reliable.
Plus, you'll receive the ICS ota when it's ready
(but you'll need to flash the stock recovery)
Wait another 2-3 weeks and flash ice cream sandwich.

Flash deck 1.3. Really fast stable and great battery life. Its just like stock rom with a few extra tweaks. Has some of cm7 mods without the bloat. Has toggle switches on the drop down and some status bar tweaks but very stable and like I said its close to stock. Running it with matrix 9.0. Give it try.

Sorry man its in the nexus s 4g dev section but i cant find it on the GSM dev section. You can always try oxygen rom which is very similar to deck which I was running before I flashed deck. Has the same kind of tweaks more or less. Was also a really good rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285243
give carbon a shot. it's based on oxygen but gives better performance than any rom i've used since getting this phone

I'd suggest NSCollab and a trinity kernel. This combo worked well for me but I caught the flashing bug since getting this Nexus S and now I'm off to try Nexus MV.
you should try superosr rom (AOSP), very fast and include CM settings as well
I've been trying all NS Roms, and I'll prefer NSCollab because,
-Fast and stable (Near 5000 in quadrant)
-Never had a random reboot
-Extremely stable at 1,2GHz
-Probably the best CM7-based ROM
I don't give a opinion about which kernel u need to use, because they are all awesome, for the highest score in Quadrant, use the Trinity TUV kernel.
But I like the Netarchy or Matr1x kernel more because they are more stable in my eyes. I hope this will give you some more information
U can also wait for ICS (IceCream Sandwich), it will be awesome too.
I'd suggest stock rom + stock kernel.
lower quadrant score but higher performance
Oxygen 2.3 with Matr1x
4097 quadrant at 1,3Ghz.
*UPDATE*
Try the Franco.Kernel, tested it, very stable and high performance.
Greets.
Matr1x all the way bud lmao

What you're asking is generally regarded as not possible.
All things being equal, OC will use more energy, heat up your phone and shorten your batter life.
S7 is already fast and good on battery from what I read.
You can make your battery last longer by dimming your display, turn off your data sync or background apps when you don't need it.
It may be easier to buy a $4 spare from china...they're pretty good for the money

[Q] Stock and Custom Kernels?

What is so great about a custom kernel compared to a stock one? I know you can underclock and overclock with a custom kernel, but sometimes, doesn't that just give problems to phone, like crashing. With a stock kernel, I am pretty sure I won't have to deal with as many problems. I guess my real question is what is SO beneficial about using a custom over a stock? Is the stock not good enough?

[Q] OC Kernel for d2g running CM7.1 kang/pooka?

I've been looking and searching for an overclock kernel for my d2g which I finally have running CM7.1.0. Since the unit came with 629, I used the unofficial cm rom from kang?pooka? We all know it uses the gb leaked kernel 2.6.32.9, and the os version is of course 2.3.7.
Suprisingly, everything works great, but I'm just never satisfied unless I'm overclocking lol.
Advice on a daily user kernel that's compatible with this cm7 port? Not just any droid 2.6.32 oc kernel will work right?
[Edit]
Partially solved,
I used the Milestone Overclock and SetCPU combination, seems to be working ok for now...
You cannot swap kernels on DROID2/D2G/DX. Their bootloaders are locked. Unsigned kernels cannot be installed.
There are apps and governors that let you overclock the CPU, though.
Oh that explains my failure to find any oc kernels for it lol and I should have known, since I know it has a locked bootloader. I use SetCpu for underclocking, which I know has an option to pull custom freqs from a text file, but I have been hesitant to try that if the speeds aren't supported in the kernel.
I'll look into it more and look at additional governors.

I made some progress, using Milestone Overclock to mod the kernel and SetCPU to control the clock. I found that I'm only stable up to 1340 Mhz with a vsel of 80.
This is progress, but I am more than significantly disappointed considering my last HTC Desire Z clocked from stock 800 to 1.5 ghz with no problems at all (besides obvious heat) lol.
I shall keep at it!
