Ive flashed the trinity kernel...and although it boasted high speeds.....My wifi would not work....... I then flashed the netarchy kernel and that seemed fine at first but after starting an intensive memory app it kept rebooting phone.....I seem to be having no luck with any kernels...can someone maybe suggest a kernel that just works with CM7 Rc2 and just gives me slightly better gains to make NS run a bit smoother......
Netarchy is fine. I'm using it with the latest nightly build #25. Never encountered reboots, its something else.
1. Wipe Cache & Dalvik-Cache
2. Fix Permissions
3. Flash Netarchy 1.3.0-CFS (CM7 Compatiable)
Should cause the best possible performance with the kernel.

Ditto to this.
Try the CFS version (if you haven't) IIRC it *seems* to work slightly more reliably than the BFS version.
Also I assume you're not trying to OC the CPU - if you are, just leave at default if you're getting stability issues.
try ogdobbers kernel for cm7. I have version 1.3.1.5 and its smooth as butter. I have tried others but they seem unstable and I also am not a fan of overclocking my phone. Its a stock kernel with the ext4 hack that makes your phone run very fast and smooth without risks of overclocking. I haven't had a single problem with it and have been running it for about a month now.

All of netarchy's kernels are not OC'd by default. To OC it you have to manually do it. So what you said about kernels being OC'd is wrong. This thread has only mentioned Netarchy's kernel so I'm assuming that you thought Netarchy's kernel OC'd by default. It's automatically set at stock speeds. It includes ext4 hack as well.
Ogdoober's modified stock is just too plain for me.
What's this app that you're talking about? Was it a game?
I've only used Netarchy's so far and never had a problem. Make sure to at least try the CFS version. My phone doesn't like 1.4 ghz, but I've used it without any problems at 1.2 ghz. Right now I'm back to stock speed since I don't see any benefits to overclocking it for my usages.

Correct. My builds enable the ability to over clock, but run at stock speeds by default. It's always your choice.
For what it's worth, I usually run at stock myself ;D
Thanks too all of you...much appreciated....coming over from the DHD and incredible S Forums was a bit daunting....but you guys are really helpful.....
I've been figuring out how to install custom roms and kernels lately, and was wondering if it is possible to combine an Infusion kernel with an Infused rom, and what the best procedure for that would be.
I tried Infused 2.1 and then loading the 1.8 Infusion kernel but was met with bootloops. Would it be more stable perhaps to install Infused 1.6 and Infusion 1.5.1/2 ?
And just to be sure, would I install the Infused rom, then the Infusion kernel, and then root + load rom manager backup image? Or would titanium be a better option to recover with? I have both of them backed up.

woah... you are WAY off on absolutely everything.
first and foremost, you need to be rooted before you can do anything that you are attempting to describe. figure out how to root in the "development" section.
as for flashing things, this guide is for a tablet, but same general process applies to the infuse: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...m-manager-nandroid-backup-custom-kernels.html
and then as for the kernels you are referring to - as a general rule (few exceptions), you may only flash froyo kernels with froyo ROMs, and gingerbread kernels with gingerbread ROMs. you can find out what kind of ROM/kernel you are attempting to flash by reading the title of the thread, or the original post.
research everything THOROUGHLY, so that you know what you are doing before you do this!

You could not use the 1.8 kernel because it is a froyo kernal and infused 2.1 is gingerbread.
If you want both flash infused 2.1 and then infusion kernel 1.6 for gingerbread.

I've already rooted my phone, got the modified 3e recovery, and flashed the update.zip from CWM.
Now, I've downloaded infusion-GB.1.1.zip and am downloading update-infused-v2.1.0-full.zip.
Now, to my understanding I would go about installing both of these by first using Rom Manager to install update-infused-v2.1.0-full.zip (and clearing user data/cache), thus installing the GB rom. Then I would use CWM (getting to it via two volume buttons plus power button) and pressing the update option on the list.
Can anyone point me as to where I might be going wrong with my logic? If this rom and kernel are not compatible (even though they both clain to be GB) then should I instead use the Infusion 1.5.1/2 kernel and update-infused-v1.6.0-full.zip files?
Also are backups from FROYO roms incompatible with GB Rom Manager?

those are compatible. no need to clear anything when installing the kernel, only the ROM - just go into red CWM, using the buttons like you said, and flash the infused ROM zip, and then the infusion kernel zip.
once you're done with that, get voltage control or setCPU from the market, and you should be able to adjust the maximum frequency to 1.6, although it may not be stable.
I managed to get it all working. I followed all the steps from this post and after doing those steps I used red CWM to update the kernel meaning that my cetCPU can OC and manage the cpu up to 1.6ghz.
Thanks all for info and help! Much appreciated
Now, while we're still here... can anyone recommend a good icon/theme changer for Infused? It'd be nice to have icons like what gtg465x has on the screens in the link I posted.
P.S. I didn't restore my apps/data with my backups simply because in his post, gtg465x said not to use them unless absolutely necessary.

You'll want to use the Infusion 1.0/1.1 kernel for Infused 2.1. You must use gingerbread kernels with gingerbread roms. You can download Voltage Control or Setcpu from market to be able to OC/UV. Once you've downloaded either, set your max to 1.6, you can go through the setting and set what you like as far as speed and volts. I use Voltage Control, my setting are:
Cfq scheduler ondemand Governor
200-1600mhz
200, 400, 800, 1200, 1600mhz enabled. dont use more than 5-6 settings.
UV
1600-75
1200-75
800-50
400-50
200-50
I know you can UV more than what I am using, but I dont like to push it to its max UV.
what is cfq

Cfq is a setting for the scheduler in voltage control, I believe it means completely fair queuing. You can use the ROM infused 2.1.0 with that kernel, its what im running.

I have been having issues getting my TF101 to overclock in ICS. I have tried Codename Android, CM9, TeamEOS, and Revolver, and ALL of them I could not overclock in. I have tried SetCPU, No-Frills, and (if applicable) the built in frequency control. They all show that the maximum frequency is 1000MHz. I have no clue what is going wrong here. They all were able to gain Superuser, so that isn't the problem. Any and all help would be highly appreciated. I just have no clue what I could be doing wrong.

Antutu CPUMaster Free works for me on Revolver4_1.3.1 and Blades_meh kernel. You have to manually go into it after installing a OC kernel and set the min and max frequencies and choose a governor and there's a checkbox to tell it to set these at boot. After that it works all day everyday for me up to 1680MHz and deep sleep works, too.

Just tried Antutu CPU Master. Same issues. It says that my max frequency is 1000MHz.
Have you manually loaded a new kernel to replace the stock one? Setcpu and the like only modify settings that a kernel exposes, and the default kernel does not allow anything higher then 1000.

Yes. After doing so, I also go into my settings and clear the cache and data from SetCPU, so I could set it up again. Still, I am getting max 1000MHz.

Thanks for trying to help, but I have found my problem. My recovery was still borked from when I tried flashing the official one in Rom Manager. Wiped my recovery, installed the roach recovery, reflashed all of my files, and now I am good to go. I feel like a derp now. LOL
Same issue w/ OC...but wipe recovery?
Your issue sounds exactly like the one I am currently having.
I would like to try your fix...but I am not understanding how the "wipe recovery" process goes. Would you mind please explaining that in more detail? Im pretty sure it IS NOT as simple as just doing a complete cache/data wipe then flashing the recovery over itself is it?
I am:
ViperMOD Prime rooted
ClockworkRecoveryMOD installed (but I think I may have fubar'd it doing the same thing you did trying to recover stock recovery)
FROZN 1.0.9 rom w/ included Guevor kernel and NoFrills CPU app
...but none of the CPU apps will let me OC...wether I flash the kernel seperate from the ROM or use the one included w/ the ROM.
Hope you can help me.
UPDATE: apparently this inability to OC the kernel in any way is happening to those of us experiencing the CWM bootloop issue...so since the loader goes immediately to CWM it never runs the flashed kernel.
So in these forums is a thread to fix the CWM bootloop and if you follow the instructions carefully, you fix the bootloop and thus allowing the flashed kernels a chance to actually install. I chose the Roach method which you can install the code using Terminal Emulator pretty intuitively. I didnt choose the other method because I didnt want to mess w/ setting up an ADB terminal on my PC, which seemed MUCH more difficult.
So...now FINALLY
ViperMOD Prime rooted
ClockworkMOD Touch Recovery 5.8.8
FROZN 1.0.9 ROM (w/ built-in Guevor kernel @ 1.2 default) and am OCd @ 1.54 (np's at all so far, lightning fast, havent even tried 1.6 or 1.7).
Only issue so far is File Manager app crashes on startup...which isnt good because now the other file manager app I tried doesnt see my ext_SDcard...the stock File Manager did.
I've tried using both tastyMEH and Blades using Revolver, CM9 and Android HD, and the stock ICS ROM, using Set CPU and ROM Toolbox pro to try and overclock. I've flashed the ROM first and then the Kernel, and the Kernel and then the ROM. Nothing I've done thus far has enabled me to set the CPU sliders past 1000 mhz. I know people are running these combos and getting 1.6-1.8 clocks. What am I screwing up? I'm using Clockwork Mod recovery to flash. I couldn't even get CM9 to boot.
Thanks so much in advance

When you flash the kernel go to the about section in android and make sure the flash was actually successful.

Thanks, this may be a step in the right direction. However I've tried 3 times now to flash the 5.8 touch to no avail. Everytime I reboot I end up with standard 5.5.0.4. I tried flashing with CWM. What am I doing wrong? If it helps ever since I flashed CWM, if the tablet retboots for any reason it automatically boots into CWM, and I have to cold boot into Android manually using the power and volume rocker.
Thanks again-

Because your version of CWM is bad. You need to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530337

I'm on 2.20 hboot 1.14 and have my hox unlocked and rooted
However, I've been running into a problem where my phone will freeze on an incoming call when i try to answer it from the lockscreen. It just continues to ring and sometimes just reboots.
I've tried multiple combinations of roms (cleanrom 5.1, viper, etc.) and kernels (elemental 2.1,3.0, beast mode, and even stock...w/without s/w) but still run into the same issue.
I always do clean installs and flash the boot img before installing the roms but no dice.
The only rom/kernel combination that seems to work are Nocturnal Dirty'd w/nocturnal kernel and Calkulin's One XL v1.2 /w beast 4.2 that he included.
Any help would be appreciated. ty.

Hi Guys....I'm posting here because I don't have the privileges to post on the official Trinity Kernel thread. I just flashed the kernel this morning and while I'm more than satisfied with the performance I'm a little worried that it simply won't let me choose the CPU frequency. It simply maxes out at 3.14 Ghz ...which is way more than I actually need or want...and whenever I try to go to a more safe 2.3- 2.4 Ghz it simply won't change....tried flashing older versions but it just the same. Is it safe for me to keep it like this or should I try another kernel? Thanks

what do you mean it wont let you chose cpu frequency? by default, trinity maxes at 2260mhz btw, not 3014mhz. you can set it manually to 3014mhz, but chances are that your phone will not be able to run at 3014mhz, very few can. anyways, you need to install a cpu control app to adjust your cpu speed, i use the trinity kernel toolbox, but there are others around.

When flashed, some kernels break root access. Flash the latest supersu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053), and then you'll be able to use an app like TKT or trickster to adjust CPU. I use Trinity mostly, and sometimes have this issue if I forget to flash supersu,
also you need to have busybox installed if you are already using a cpu control app. the cpu control app would need busybox to work properly.

Hi. Thanks for your quick reply. What I meant to say is that I use the trinity kernel toolbox but whatever cpu speed I choose it always goes back to 3014mhz...I even tried underclocking...just for the sake of it but nothing...I tried to go default with 2260 mhz but I still get 3014mhz in antutu and geekbench 3. Did a benchmark with antutu and I get 32460 when it should be around 24000. I don't know if I should be worried or glad. While my N5 isn't getting any hotter my past ock experiences tell me that I shouldn't push it. Am I doing something wrong?

Antutu and Geekbench 3 show you the max frequency that your phone can go up to on your Nexus 5. If the kernel is overclockable, then these benchmarks will show you the max frequency, in Trinity kernel's case, 3.1Ghz. If everything looks right in the Trinity Toolbox app, then you're good to go. Trinity doesn't come overclocked by default.

well, you are not running your phone at 3014mhz. a 32000+ in antutu is average for 2260mhz considering you are running the dalvik/bionic patches(your rom probably includes them. i getvabove 40000 at 2.5ghz, cant imagine what it woukd becat 3014mhz! btw, what rom are you running? anyways, it sounds to me as you dont have busybox installed, tkt needs it to work properly. go to the play store, find the busybox app by stericson, install it, open it, let it do its thing, then install it and reboot. that should get tkt working properly. like i said, the default trinity top cpu speed is 2260mhz and no higher.
