CM7 Overclock

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

Custom Kernel Root

Do I have to root my phone to be able to use a custom kernel or can i use a custom kernel on a non-rooted phone?

I think you should root your phone first then install a custom kernel, then you can be guaranteed root then

You can do that technically, however it may cause some problems, though you have a point. I now feel the urge to test it when I have access to my computer

Please report back here after testing if it's not too much trouble

Yup no problems on non rooted froyo. Tested using g3mod 2.4.1
Edit: bear in mind you will not be able to control cpu speeds anymore.

You Have To Root Your Phone To Customise Anything ! Without Root You Cant Do Anything !

I just tested, custom kernel boots fine on non rooted. U just can't change the cpu speed. Look at the post above yours

As far as I remember installing g3mod sets the governor to performance and speed to 800 mhz so it will heavily drain the battery

Rom toolbox help

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.

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

Can anyone suggest a fast non buggy kernel for cm10

Okay so NY problem is when I try to set a speed it doesn't stick. It goes to 1135 or down to 900 something. Even though I say max at 1513. I know the numbers may not be exact however my issue is that it just keeps moving and performance is affected so does anyone have a good fast able kerbel to run on CyanogenMod 10

Doesn't sound like a kernel issue to me, more like a user error on your part.

No its not. Even though I typed messy I'm not stupid I'm just typing on my phone. Its def not me are u running cm 10? If not please don't give unhelpful responses.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yeah, I am.
If you can't figure out how to get your device past 1100, you're doing it wrong. Plain and simple.

Also, it might be helpful if you listed what kernel you're running.

I'm running the kernel that comes with cm10. I can get it past 1100 the problem is every now and then it always goes back I'm not messing it up. I think its the ROM honestly

I'm using KT747 with Euroskank's CM10 and have it OC'd to 2106 and it holds through restarts using KTweaker
Are you sure it's not your governor simply throttling you back?

Download CPUSpy and don't open it for an hour. Then open it and see what your top slot is for usage. I bet it's governor too...

My gov is set to interactive and scheduler deadline. But the problem is it is changing my max setting.

Try what I said above. That will show you what slots your kernel is using.

OK tried it and it is spending almost the entire time at 1100 is that what it should be on interactive.

Make sure Powersave is not on. This will max your cpu at 1026mHz.

Thank you it worked......
