[Q] Overclock with cm7.2 rom

for the longest time I have tried to OC my g2x without any luck. Probably the reason why it never OC was because I ran on the Cm7 generation roms. But because there was a recent update (cm7.2) I'm wondering if someone has figured out how to overclock with this rom.
Current phone stats:
Kernal: 2.6.32.55-cyanogenmod [email protected]
Rom: cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC1 p999
Perhaps I can flash a new kernal that you guys can recommend and OC my phone.

Custom Kernel with V21Y

Is anyone using a different kernel with the new v21y baseband?

There are two threads/ variations of faux kernels. One is for GB like this one and the other is for cm7 based. Use the other kernel 050b1 i think.

OK, I got it working. I flashed my old favorite Trinity kernel. I really didn't expect it to work, but apparently it does.

The Eaglesblood ICS release 3 came with Trinity Kernel and had UMS support They just updated to Supporting the V21Y baseband. going to try Harsh and see what happens

That would explain it then lol

I running T15-G2x-06022012 with CM7 RC3 OCed to 1400 with out issues

For Faux's 014b2 kernel, which do you recommend when running Kwes' modified stock ROM (v21y)? I see pre-UV and stock voltage versions. I'm leaning towards stock voltage, but is there a major advantage for the pre-UV? (I'm not even really sure what is meant by pre-UV -- pre-under voltage?)
Thanks!
EDIT: pre-UV is pre-under volted. From a little more reading, I found that pre-UV means the kernel has a -50mv UV already. So if using UV/OC tools and apps, you need to take into account that -50mv already.

I can't seem to download Faux kernal nor Dragon, there files are missing? Is there any other kernels best stable with Weapon ROM?

I've always used faux with stock ROMs.
I may be wrong, but I thought Trinity was for CM7 ROMs. I used it with the CM7 Nightly Build 135.1, worked great. But as for stock, I've always used the 2 faux kernels I've uploaded.
This is the latest faux GB kernel:
P999-GB-Kernel-014b2-ext4.zip
Linky: http://www.freefilehosting.net/p999-gb-kernel-014b2-ext4
If you have any issues, which I haven't had any thus far and been on my current setup for almost two weeks, you can try this older version:
P999-GB-Kernel-013_r2-ext4.zip
Linky: http://www.freefilehosting.net/p999-gb-kernel-013r2-ext4
I don't know your experience level with this stuff. You don't have to re-install the ROM when changing kernels. Just make sure you wipe/format "cache" and "dalvik cache". Let it boot up and don't do anything for ten minutes. Than reboot again and your good to go. This is how I have done it and I've rarely encountered any issues.
Let me know if this helps and I'll be around doing homework for my IT class, so feel free to post back or PM me directly.

Thanks! I'm going to try it right now. Have you used any other stock ROMs? If you did, which one would you prefer?

I've used dang near every single ROM available for our G2x.
Stock? It's a coin toss between BuROM and kwes's Rooted Stock. Personally I use BuROM as it is based off of kwes's ROM but a coulpe tweaks. The 2 I can remember off hand is the VM Heap Size is increased to 64MB and the SD read ahead size increased from 128KB to 2048KB. I think BuROM is just a hair faster than kwes's ROM.

kwes's Rooted Stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602798

I did use weapon, and I liked it. Can't remember why, but I switched back to 2.3.4 because there was something missing from Weapon's 2.3.3
What baseband are you on?

Does it say March 2011 in it? We need to make sure you have the right baseband for the ROM your using or if we need to apply the new_baseband.zip patch to it.

Until official ICS is released for the P990 or the Kernel for the SU660, the fastest ROMs are going to be GB ROMs.
Pre-ICS Release (Performance): GB > ICS > JB

That really depends on the end user as well as your skill set.
If your good at tweaking settings and understand what these settings are and do, than a CM7 ROM like Hellfire Phenoix v2.3 or temasek CM7 nightly 135.1
Than you gotta pick your kernel, which comes down to user preference.
Most people prefer Morfics Trinity kernel with CM7, I myself prefer Faux's kernels.
Once again, this comes down to your skillset as you will want to play with settings for each kernel and compare them back to back with same setups for your daily use to than find which one suits you better. This also goes for ROMs as well, I've tested tons of ROMs with different mixes of kernels to find what best suits me, but what may suit me may cause problems for someone else.
The consensus is temasek's nightly CM7 Build 135.1 w/ Trinity Kernel.
If your not into all the "tweaking" stuff than just go with a ROM that's rooted stock, like BuROM v0.2 and a GB kernel, like Fauxs GB kernel. lol
Make sure you don't use stock GB kernels with CM7 ROMs and vice versa.
I can get you links if your having trouble finding stuff.

thanks, ill try one of the cm7 roms

Originally I created this thread to showcase the CM7 and GB kernel lines. The reason I choose this is that I personally have used every kernel i uploaded. And thats the other point, I uploaded/mirrored these specifically as most new members are first time flashing this phone, so most tend to flash CM7/GB ROMs for stability. Alot of this older ROM material is getting buried/harder to find or the links are dead, and the latest has been government seizure of hosting servers.
That being said, if people want this to be a thread containing a collection of all kernels old and current i can change it up. I will need your help as i am a full time college student and work full time as well. Any kernel that you would like listed in the OP, please link me, or if you have it on your PC, PM me and send it as an attachment via email. Any kernel i list i want to upload /mirror that way i know the links are valid, and if for some unseen reason the current service im using for hosting gets caught up in a government seizure, i will be able to move everything to a second site more easily.
As always,open to suggestions and appreciative of your help.
