Hi,
Is it possible to flash a custom kernel, say Trinity, to overclock my Nexus S to 1.5 GHz? I am not running any custom ROM, just stock rooted android on 4.1.2 JB. Any help is appreciated.
You need to be rooted in order to flash another kernel. I think you need to flash a custom ROM because the stock ROM usually overrides whatever you have changed after a reboot. When i rooted my phone, I just wanted to use root access applications, but once I reboot my phone, superuser would not work. If you really want to stick with stock jb, find a ROM that is closest to stock jb.

Is anyone out there planning on making any custom ROMS/KERNELS with the OTA updated? I am running the rooted version, and I' m really missing being able to undervolt... any help would be appreciated.
I have tried all the Desire HD ports, RIL's, APN's etc but the stock OTA has the fastest and most consistent data speeds for me.
Just flash and undervolt kernel. That's what I did.

I can't just use any kernel though right? Has someone posted an undervolt script for the stock kernel with the ota?
you can use any 2.2 sense kernel
There was only one setting changed in the OTA kernel, and it doesn't change anything that we care about (allows use of NAND IDs without using the MSM driver or some such). Otherwise, the boot.img is identical to the stock. You shouldn't have any problem with any kernel based on the stock ace 2.6.32 (g3c08447).
I'm running one I compiled from HTC source with nothing added but the undervolt/overclock tables.
This is The lastest Stock ota Rom, whit the latest radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042, and if want the a custom rom with the latest ota update use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996368

Thanks again for the help.
This is my 1st time on this forum!! be gentle!
I have stock rom and trinity kernel, can i get OTA working?
you won't be able to install it regularly because you changed the kernel, but you can always flash a full 2.3.6 rom through cwm. i'm pretty sure you'll be put back on stock kernel though

youll need a completely stock /system and the stock recovery.
Thx for the help!
Just flash the rooted version and you are done.

I have a fully rooted phone but sticking with the stock rom, the latest. Is there anyway I can flash a better kernel capable of overclocking?
Pull a nandroid then flash one via CWM. I don't think the current kernels are optimized for the last two versions of stock software. Which version of software are you running. If the kernel sucks load your nandroid and you are back to where you started.

I'm not sure how to pull one from the custom roms. I have OTA 1.63.531.2

None of the currently available kernels will work on a stock ROM higher than 1.28.531.10. So, if you're running the latest 1.63.531.2, you're out of luck.
Just need a short straight and to the point answer. Is it possible to have a kernel to overclock the Nexus S to 1.4 GHz without a ROM. I am on stock android 4.1.2 rooted. I don't want to install a ROM. If so please tell me which kernel, if it's stable for everyday use and how well it works. Thanks! Have a great Day!
As long as you have a custom recovery, you can flash custom kernel. Try trinity (derkernel.com) its experimental but very stable. Though it does not have bigmem. Also you have to be aware that your phone might not be able to handle over clock till that high and therefore reboot repeatedly. Hope it helps.

Sup, so I'm still quite the noob at all the rooted stuff, like flashing etc... I have franco kernel and im running cm, when i update my kernel am I supposed to flash the kernel again or will it actually be updated?
For which phone n its not necessary to flash again n again unless u flash with custom rom

(But CM has really good kernel)
When flashing a custom ROM the kernel is flashed as well. Most of the time that kernel is an adapted kernel of a widely used one (e.g. Semaphore or DerTeufel), so that it can be verified in conjunction with the ROM. So yes, when flashing the custom ROM, immediately after that flash the kernel of choice. With the right app, you can even configure the kernel and play around with strings and scripts
