Is there an app to overclock without loading a kernel. I'm rooted and running prime 1.3r2. Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA.
No. The system needs a custom kernel. Download the free version of kernel manager in the market. It'll make flashing kernels a breeze if you're nervous.

Hey everyone. I'm wondering if you recommend useing the stock repacked kernel it comes with or the imoseyon 4.0 kernel?

If you don't need init.d, the extra governors, custom boot animations, or CIFS support, I'd go with Infinity kernel. If you need any of those, use imo.
I just want the most speed and stability. Are they both about the same?

I would bet on Infinity in that case. It has less done to it, so there is less to go wrong.
Ok sounds good

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.

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

I'm running the clean Tom an I can't seem to overclock to 1.6 ghz. I'm using system tuner pro
That's weird I have also clean rom and I can of.
You can try install this kernel ontop of the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31689683
I use that kernel on clean rom and my tf300 is even faster now.

I used paid rom toolbox to change the fonts on my rasbean jelly 11/6 marmite kernel set up. Is it possible that the font can make the phone slugish or laggy? Not sure if its me or the font?
Have you tried running with the default or any other kernel just to verify that it isn't the kernel?

I had actually just finished flashing the latest marmite kernel..... Maybe its just me... Felt a little slugish
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
My phone doesn't play nice with marmite and the only fonts I've used have been standalone flashable zips. I've never had an issue with fonts causing lag.
