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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12123867&highlight=leedroid#post12123867
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?
http://leedroid.ftp.rshost.eu/DHD-Kernels/
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.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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.
Hey, i am running on infused v2.1.0 and i have transfuzion theme. Anyway i tried to flash the kernel and i thought i did it right went to recovery mode then falsh zip from sd watever then reboot consol. i go back to my About Phone and still no infusion 1.1 it says : Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I1997RUXKG-3-CL366622...

I'm pretty sure that is the Infusion kernel. If you read the rest it should say [email protected] # infusion gb
I'd suggest downloading Voltage Control and seeing what options you have in there. You'll know you installed it correctly if you see speeds up to 1600 in there. Plus it's a good tool if you want to Under Voltage a little bit to help on battery life.
Kernel Version number is 2.6.35.7-1997RUXKG3-CL366622 for infusion 1.1. Your good.

Actually that version string is useless for determining which kernel you're running other than "based on Rogers Gingerbread" - since the proprietary Samsung modules force kernel devs to avoid doing anything that modifies that string. (Modify that string = device will not boot.)
The best way to figure out which kernel you're running are:
1) Featureset. If you have frequencies higher than 1200 MHz you're running Infusion as it's the only overclock kernel there is. If you have netarchy-style voltage control but no overclock, you're likely on my Daily Driver. If you have neither, you're probably on Hellraiser or the stock Infused ROM kernel.
2) Build username/host of the kernel to determine who built it. If you look back through my posts you should find one with a list of a few known user/host combos for various kernel devs.
Thanks for the replies guys! I checked in my voltage control i have the 1600mhz in there but i dont really know how to set them... ive looked around i did something but im not sure if thats the best set up. I sitll do not know if i am running on infusion 1.1 i have infused 2.1 for sure but not sure about the kernel. Anyway thanks for the reply guys the help is much appreciated but IF you can help me figure out this voltage thing it'll be great! Also i have downloaded the tranzfusion theme and i dont really like it is there anyway i can delete it?

If you installed 1.1 and voltage control tells you can OC to 1600 then you have 1.1 installed. People use different setups for the Overclocking. use Cfq as scheduler and Ondemand as governor. make sure you turn on 1600 by hitting the red button next to it if you already havent. dont use more than 5-6 mhz speeds at one time. I use 200 400 800 1200 1600.
Just to the OP...the easiest way to me to flash a kernel is simply by downloading SGS Kernel Flasher, selecting the kernel, and flashing it. It's about as painless as you can get.
Thanks for the replies guys much appreciated !
Hi. I want to overclock my i5800 but i don't want to install new kernel. I tried CM7 ROM and I liked more the original one.
So... Have any possibility to overclock without install a new kernel? Or... Install a kernel with ONLY a modification to overclock.
Since you are using CM7, you also have a new kernel.
The new kernel was required to make CM7 work.
If you also have Update 1 for Alpha 6 installed, I believe you can Overclock to 100 MhZ.
Dympy.
No. I'm not using CM7, I using a original ROM from samsung again. CM7 has a lot of fails at the moment.
I rooted my phone, so I can install kernels. But I don't want to change all kernel, only I wanted to overclock the CPU. It is possible? There is a kernel with the only change is the overclock?
First, you should flash new kernel ( recommend g3mod v2.2.1 OC). Then, install setcpu for OC. And link to download g3mod:
Code:
g3mod.com/g3rm/index.php?about=none
Yes, I know that if I install new kernel like g3mod I can overlock, the question is about don't change the original kernel....
Or the possibility to modify the original samsung kernel to ONLY open the possibility to overclock.
as far as my knowledge u wont OC ur process without install the kernel which supports over-clock...
You are saying that you want to drive a car at 400kmph but you don't wanna drive a veyron, and that's impossible
To overclock, you need to make some changes in the kernel, although it is possible to have a kernel with nothing more but overclocking, but why don't you use fugumod or g3mod.
I tried the CM7 ROM. And I don't liked the menus, the aspect, and the power button functions. I like how is from samsung, only I want more speed on CPU
I'm looking for the same solution! I like the original Samsung ROM, but I really want to overlock the CPU! I used Kyrillos' ROM v9.4, but I was not satisfied with it, so I've reinstalled the original ROM.
So pros, please give us a solution!

Flash a oc kernel with odin and keep your stock rom
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda premium
on my test mobile I have installed the XXJPU stock ROM
flashed the G3 performance 1.9 kernel, works perfect
by default the kernel runs at 800MHz
install setcpu (root required) and you can adjust the cpu
so in two words:
stock ROM with stock kernel -> no cpu adjustment possible
stock ROM with other kernel -> set your cpu in a range you like

Hi there,
If you don't have cwm recovery installed on your phone follow the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 to flash it.
Then pick one of the following 2.3.3 roms and flash it following the instructions provided on the thread:

There might be more 2.3.3 roms available in the development section, also you might wanna consider flashing a 2.3.7 rom, if so check out the development section and pick one, or try several roms and pick whichever one you like most. Devs are more active with 2.3.7 roms, so you'll find better support and more features.
As for the kernels, you can usually overclock your CPU with any custom rom (provided you get the appropriate app from the market if there are no OCing options built into the rom), but I haven't used a 2.3.3 rom in a long time so I'm not sure if OCing is available with the stock kernels they come with. If you do go with a 2.3.5 (or above, namely 2.3.7) rom then you can try either:
Morfic's kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078049
or Faux's kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073626
They're both excellent kernels, Trinity (Morfic's kernel) has a known issue with rebooting, the phone will freeze every now and then when you try to reboot so you'd have to do a battery pull.
Faux's kernel doesn't have that issue, but, for me at lease, when trying to reboot into recovery it does a normal reboot instead.
As you might already know, the G2X has a somewhat crappy battery life, most people can't get more than 24-30 hours of battery life with the stock battery, and from what I read most of the custom batteries aren't as good as advertised, so your best bet is to use an under volted kernel and try to find some battery tweaks in the forums.
There's way too many themes to list here but basically, for CM7 roms you can look for themes in the market, and for MIUI themes you can use their themes app to find something suitable.

A note on overclocking:
Please know that not all phones respond the same when overclocked. In other words, some phones can't handle the same overclock speed as other phones. And also note that overclocking sacrifices a bit of battery life to increase the performance, the extra juice has to come from somewhere. I suggest starting from the stock kernel of whichever rom you choose, see how your phone does on a stock, unmodded kernel. If you want a little more performance, then you can flash a custom one and slowly increase clock speed over time to see how your phone responds. If you want more battery life, then you should read up on UV (undervolting) settings in the custom kernel. The key is to try and find a nice combination of both so you can benefit great battery life and performance, but requires some tinkering and testing to get that right combination. Just something to note.
Phoenix Blood 1.7 with Faux123 048 kernel is the way to go. Do some reading on Google how to nvflash cwm and do a Android backup. Also titanium backup your applications and your golden.
Making bad decision's one at a time.

Thank you all for the fast response.
Now I have a question, are kernels used to acheive anything other than overclocking/undervolting? And are there any for 2.3.3 roms, if so which would you recommend?

Yes, your phone won't function without the kernel (obviously) and custom kernels are better than the stock one in that (in simple words) they improve performance and power consumption (kinda like drivers for computer parts).
I think the following would work for 2.3.3 roms, do a nandroid backup and try it, if it doesn't work just restore

Go to http://www.derkernel.com/ and look under current G2x kernels for 2.3.5 builds. There's ELPmax, T15max, and TD158. Don't flash any of these kernels if you're on a 2.3.3 rom though. Good luck

That is impressive but i would defiantly not recommend doing that if you are just starting... That can cause extreme instability...
If you want to undervolt start small and work your way up in increments making sure to not have the settings to "Apply on boot" that way if you get a crash (And you will until you find the sweet spot) you wont be stuck with your phone crashing over and over because the cpu/kernel is freaking out
And SetCPU is a great program for OC/UV for any rom
question i cant seem to quickly find about undervolting:
when undervolting in pimpmycpu (SetCPU crashes on me when I go to voltage settings for whatever reason) do you undervolt each setting? Like -50mv for 1.4GHz, -50mv for 1.2Ghz, -50mv for 1Ghz etc etc etc.. or just -50mv for the top (1.4Ghz) setting?
Oh, I'm on Faux's 048 kernel..

You only undervolt the clock speed you're using, you can do it for both min and max values, or just for one. But if you use multiple OC profiles, then you can UV every clock speed you're using.
Either way, UVing all clock speeds shouldn't cause any issues, but it wouldn't help much

Our phone runs at 667MHz and the kernel in MIUI V4 runs at 1.2 GHz because it is overclocked kernel. If you don't want to mess up your phone by overclocking, flash this rom anyways, but then flash NON-OC kernel. I think G3MOD 2.5 NON-OC should work with it.
If you don't want to overclock your phone, you will notice some (big) lag probably with MIUI.
