Kernels for CM7 03012011 Nightly

Hi,
I am a new rooted user and have been following all MT4G threads here at XDA pretty closely. Can anyone help me know which kernels I can flash on the 03012011 Nightly(cm_glacier_full-11.zip ). I haven't ever flashed a kernel and I don't know what it does and how it helps.
I'll appreciate any info that you can give me.

Well you can use dumfuq's SmartCMKernel or Faux's CM7RC v1.3 kernels. ATM you might want to go with dumfuq's as its the most stable CM7 kernel other than default. You can find it in development section, once downloaded to SDCard just go in to Recovery and wipe cache, davlik and then Install zip from SDCard> Choose from SDCard> Select it wherever you put it and then flash it as you normally flash rom's. Then reboot and let it run for few min and let it do its thing.

Thanks for your help. Getting this kernel now. I heard about setcpu and Quadrant. Do I need those and how/what are they used for? what kind of difference would this kernel give me?

SetCPU - name explains it but if you don't know its controls clock frequency, so you can over/under clock and even set profiles.
Quadrant - benchmark app its just to brag how high score you got nothing special, don't let it get to your head it means nothing as the synthetic benchmark no way translate in to real world performance its just pissing contest lol
Keep in mind in CM7 you have built in mCPU performance controller to to handle clock frequency which you can access via Setting> CM Setting> Performance> CPU Setting.

You do relize you allready have a aftermarket kernel installed when you download any Rom here in the forums, right? Its ok to install different ones but FYI you dont need to in order to overclock.

Thats up to you as only you know what you use so you can better utilize the resource. I mean if you don't use anything no reason to OC it to 1.8ghz lol that way you will kill battery.

What are the differences between dumfuq's and faux's? Is there an advantage to one over the other? I've always been using faux's the whole time.

I keep going back to just using the stock CM 7 kernel clocked at 1.5 honestly I think it gives the best overall performance (on my phone at least) and honestly I had issues running over anything past 1.7 with any kernel but again that could just be my phone. I had it oc'ed at 1.7 for a while and now I have it clocked at 1.5 and notice I have less FC (not that I had many at 1.7 but def more apps would choke from time to time) This phone is pretty fast bone dry stock with no oc'ing but it runs beautiful at 1.5. I dont really notice much performance difference from 1.5 to 1.7 but I do notice a battery difference

[Overclocking] [ICS/GNexus] GPU & Processor & RAM - Kernel Q and A

So I recently rooted my Galaxy Nexus and other than using WidgetLocker I haven't done anything to my phone to take advantage of my root and SU privileges.
This is my first phone that I have done this too so this is all a major learning curve which brings me to my question(s):
(1) Can the phones memory be over locked?
[If yes....] What are the factory Memory Times and what is a safe level to overclock them to - and How?
(2) What is the factory setting for the processor and what is a safe and efficient overclocked setting?
Is the Highest (but again safe and efficient) level a noticeable change?
(3) Overclocking the GPU can reach a maximum setting of 512Mhz (correct?)
What is the default setting for the GPU and is overclocking the GPU to the highest (but "safest" & efficient) level noticeable and worth the trouble?
(4) How do I overclock my phone?
I know that (probably) a kernel replacement is going to be the answer to this question but I was wondering if maybe there is a script I could run in recovery console or terminal, whatever...instead of replacing the entire kernel.
If the kernel is the only way, does this effect future ICS system updates?
What is the best (most stable, most features, best for overclocking) kernel for ICS/GalaxyNexus? - I dont know poop about kernels.
(4a) with the kernel loaded, what apps do I need to snatch from the market to actually overclock my Galaxy Nexus? Try to recommend free ones please =P
(5) Since I am replacing the Kernel, should I dive in 100% and flash a ROM too?
Yes?: what is the best (very very stable, fast, efficient, tweakable) ROM out there for GNexus?
do roms do anything to assist in the overclocking process?
The only reason I would consider a ROM too is because I want Wifi/USB Tethering, Facebook contact syncing, and a few other things.. but only if there are overclocking tools too!
Does flashing a ROM eliminate myself from ICS updates(pretty sure the answer is yes)??
(6) I am currently on a stock kernel and "rom" (if u couldn't tell...) but I am rooted and using Launcher Pro (free version) and I am happy with it but out of the other launchers which is the best (fastest, easy to use, customisable)?
If I flash a custom ROM will a custom launcher be necessary or do they cone with tweaked launchers?
I had other questions but I can't think of it right now, I'll update the OP and thread if I think of anymore. Thank you so much community members for taking time to answer these questions!!!

1200 MHz is stock, 1350-1400 MHz is the highest you can get at the moment, as stability is an issue.

307MHz is stock (underclocked), 387MHz I believe is it's nominal speed, and is billed as 'overclocked' here on XDA.

You need to flash a kernel using CWM Recovery. The kernel will be rewritten every time you flash a new ROM with that ROMs kernel, if you like a specific kernel you can reflash after installing a ROM, I use Franco Kernel which is by far the most popular. Once you flash a custom ROM you won't bother with ICS system updates, custom are bleeding edge with custom tweaks and months and months earlier than OTA releases.

SetCPU is by far the best, don't be a cheapskate shell out the $2 for it. AOKP ROM has one built in, but I still use SetCPU.

Flashing a custom ROM will stop you being able to recieve OTA's, yes. But like I said earlier, they are ****. Custom ROMs are far, far better, so just keep up to date with your ROMs releases and you will always have a ROM with more features that stock OTAs. Most ROMS come with overclocked kernels, most have optimized kernels also, AOKP even has a built in overclocking program in the settings menu, which might appeal to you.

I don't know about other ROMs but AOKP comes with a custom launcher called Nova Launcher, it's essentially the stock launcher with tweaks.

wow thank you so much for your reply... i stumbled upon AOKP on droidforums before reading your reply and am actually about to flash it now - thank you for this very detailed response!!

No problem my man, there is actually a good few stable 1500MHz kernels out now and the GPU can be overclocked to 512MHz if you really want to kill your battery.

best rom addressing io bottleneck?

just like the topic says, what's everyone's experience with addressing the io bottleneck on this pad?

I been using CleamRom 2.5 , and it has help a lot, I can now download a torrent and still surf the web or do other things.
Before with the stock ROM, I will not use the TF300 till the download was finish.

I also use CleanRom2.5 on my tf300TG and Untermench newest kernel, great IO score ~7000 in Quadrant

OC'ing the TF700T

Ummm
Clemsyn's kernel here with the 1.8 oc
I haven't dabbled with voltages.
I'm using System Tuner Pro to push the CPU to max.
I just did a stress test under the kernel with no tweaks set.
No overheat and it didn't reboot until system load hit 3.92
I'll call that good for now.

How would I go about using Clemsyn's kernel with CleanROM 2.3? Are there any risks with combining something like Clemsyn's kernel with a custom ROM?
I didn't really want to ask in the development thread because I didn't think it was for question and answers.

Clemsyn and CleanROM work perfectly together. Check out the dev thread for either, and look at the results...

Joe,
If you have flashed CleanROM 2.3 it's important to be on the JellyBean boot-loader.
If you are still on ICS upgrade to JB. (I won't go into rooting, saving root, custom recovery...blah blah)
Once you have Scotts CleanROM flashed and working.
Simply flash Clemsyn's kernel from a custom recovery.
I will say the risk is less than moderate.
I have had a good experience to this point in time.
______________________________________________________________________________________
*Trying to stay simple here so I won't post links and other confusion.
I'm kind of a dummy or "newbster" if you will myself.
Once I got unlocked I was committed to either bricking or learning how to do this.
I made the mistake of installing Scotts ROM then flashed Clemsyn's over an ICS downgrade.
Dismal results there...so I just started from scratch...learned about flashing thru ADB from my windows PC.
I recommend getting to know the ADB (android development bridge) commands.
ADB is just a command prompt...like a DOS window that speaks to Android on a device.
It's certainly possible to crap the tab using it, yet it's an invaluable tool for flashing.
Used hiemanshu's method to gain root after flashing JellyBean .18.
Worked very well once the procedure clicked in my head.
Tons of help here at the development paradise known as XDA...

If you have CleanROM installed.
Simply flash the kernel.
It works in addition to CleanROM.
Clemsyn's is added to Scotts ROM.

Ok. Awesome! Thanks. If it causes problems for my device, does TWRP allow me to unflash (if that is even a thing)?
Sent from my HTC Rezound

I built a flashable zip with the clean ROM stock kernel. I'll send you a copy of you need it, and you can flash it just like you do with Clemsyn's kernel. I doubt you'll need it...
As noted above, you want to be on the JB (10.x) bootloader. Nothing to do with losing root, saving root, accessing recovery, and all that crap, but there's a restriction on the 9.x bootloader that restricts increased voltages, and this restricts the higher clock speeds associated with the increased voltage...

Personally I would make a backup of the tablet without the Kernal just in case then flash the kernal and if for some reason it doesnt work or you dont like it then you can go back to the recovery.

Don't forget to do a backup in TWRP before each step.
I have been renaming my backups ie; B4CL22, B4CL23, B4Clems22 and so on...you get the idea.
I can keep them straight that way.
Backups are very important as I now know.

[Q] Flash new kernel in cyanogenmod 10.1 nightlies on my tf300t

Hello xda forums, I've done a lot of research and I can't find anything conclusive about this issue...
How do I flash a new kernel on my asus tf300t with custom rom cm10.1 nightlies? I want to do this because I can't overclock over 1.3 ghz .
I'm really happy with this rom on performence mode , but in heavier games like gta vice city it still lags a lot, so I'm guessing higher freq > better gamming experience. Please help this poor child :'( . And if I'm reposting or something, u have my sincere apologies.
Thank u so much for the help and I hope this post can help as many as possible.

Are you able to reboot into recovery mode? (Hold power, press reboot and select recovery)
If you can, just download the custom kernel .zip file and go back to recovery. Select 'install zip from sdcard', browse to and select the downloaded kernel.. reboot and enjoy
Sent from my LT18i

I use Cyanogenmod 10.1, CM's kernel is so good. Problem is in I/O. If you don't want to your apps lagging, you will have to move your apps to MicroSD class 10

Hey man, my tablet is rooted and I have cwm recovery installed, so i can boot up the tablet and acess the cwm menu via powerbtn+vol down.
So yes I can flash roms and kernels, but now I ask?? Can I install any kernel having already cm10.1 installed?? If not please give me a list of safe kernels i can install changing cm10.1 kernel on my tf300t.
If this method is to risky maybe I should install other rom with higher costumable overcklock? If yes please recommend roms with overclock ranges higher than 1.3 ghz.
Thank u for ur help

I think there is only one kernel for CM10.1 that you can safely flash and that is Surdu's kernel, what you need to do is get your CM10 zip file and open it with 7zip and then replace the kernel .blob file inside with the one you want to flash, close the zip and reflash your ROM, only wipe cache/dalvik and you should have a new kernel.
Another option is to try Surdu's CM10.1 build with its own kernel, that what I have and it runs great.
hope that helps.

Is it really safe? And after this change can i go higher then 1.3 ghz?
Sorry for being annoying but I just want to be sure.

Yep, just like that, all you are doing is replacing the CM10 kernel with a compatible one. and yes Surdu's CM10.1 kernel has GPU overclock and also CPU overclock to 1.7ghz.

Hello man, so i finally figure it out, how to use perf kernel in cm10.1, and OMG it's so freaking amazing I've tunned up my cpu speed between 200 mhz and 1600 mhz in interactive mode, when gamming I use performance mode up 1.7ghz and 706 mhz gpu... Well I hope I'm not pushing to much of little tf300t xD
Thank u so much Ti2.
Ps. I use trickster insted of f.kernel app... Works really good too

You want to clock down good GPU a tad, I think 706 is really pushing it. Stock is ~440, standard Perf setting is 600.

Yeah you are probably right. Gpu with 706 oc it's to much and very unstable. When I play heavy games like Vice city and nova 3, the best settings I've found were 1.7ghz performance mode and gpu with standart perf settings(600mhz). So if u want a stable gamming experience on the tf300t, I would recommend this settings.

help?
Hello. I've flashed CM 10.1 and perf kernel and it oc my cpu to 1.7, which is good' but I can't find where to oc my gpu, can you help me?
