Method to add overclocking to existing kernel - General Questions and Answers

Hello Androiders,
I'm not sure if this makes complete sense but is there a way we can modify an existing kernel from an ASOP based ROM to support CPU overclock?
There's a ROM I use for my Xperia Acro S which lets me overclock to only 1.5 Ghz using the Mokee kernel in the flash file.
But there are other ASOP based ROM for my device which support upto 1.89 Ghz overclocking. Please let me know if there is a way to modify the existing kernel to support higher CPU clock speeds.
I searched Google and XDA but couldn't find any tutorial or discussion about this, please suggest how this can be accomplished!
LOVE and PEACE,
Syed

[Q] How to add SetCPU support to custom kernel?

Hi guys, first of all, I hope this is the right place to ask, if not then please move this thread
I want to compile a custom kernel for my device Spice Mi310. I want to know how I can add SetCPU support to my kernel (2.6.32.9)? I've seen many people here on xda enabling SetCPU support for their kernels, unfortunately my device isn't that popular so no one has an OC kernel for this device. I've compiled dozens of kernels for Linux PC's but I'm new to android kernel compiling
If any of the kernel hackers here on xda can help, it would be much appreciated
bump....no one?

[Q] How does overclocking in Android work?

How does Android overclocking work exactly?
What do Devs do to get the device to run at higher clock speeds?? I've got a HTC explorer that has o/c kernel for stock rom but no o/c kernel for MIUI or CM9 [ Though overclocking didn't increase benchmark performance ]... May I know how does one modify the kernel and makes the device run at higher speeds?? Is modifying the kernel enough or something else has to be done?? Any help is appreciated..

Adam Kernel benchmark scores/ discussion thread/ OC? who needs it,.

I've tested oc kernels and came back to Adam Kernel and to my surprise this is the fastest one of all.
So i ask you all, do we really need to oc ore is stock values the best values?

[Q] Stock Kernel - Add frequencies and/or governors

Hi community:
I wanted to know if there's some way to edit frequency values on the stock kernel and hopefully to add new governors. I tried some custom kernels but right now I want to stick to the stock kernel because I read that it has a proprietary driver that manages CPU (MPdecision I think it is).
I would be willing to compile, test and stuff on my device but if someone knows an easier trick (build prop or stuff) I'll gladly appreciate it.
Also if there's a stock-based customized kernel out there with such capabilities (I searched but all are AOSP based) I would try it.

Click to collapse
i don't know if it works but try using engineering mode..
This app was mentioned on XDA news today - claims to let you tweak CPU: (no mention of it requiring a custom kernel)
