I am a noob to the XDA forums so please forgive my ignorance. I am familiar with rooting android devices and have done so to my galaxy tab 2, my Huawai ascend 2, and now my cricket galaxy s4 SCH-R970c. however I have never successfully overclocked any android device. Thru research I have learned that in order to overclock an android device you must have a kernel that supports overclocking. I believe some custom ROM's come with there own custom kernel but I am not sure really. I I do know that after flashing several roms with clockwork mod and using various CPU control apps that I have never been able to set my maximum frequency higher than the stock speed. Again I am kind of a noob as far as all the real technical stuff goes but I am resourceful and can usually figure most things out, so my question is, is there a kernel or rom for my cricket s4 that supports overclocking? if so where can I find it? I have searched high and low for any info about overclocking my device to no avail. I am currently running Omni Nightly rom version 4.4.4-20150128-jflte-nightly, kernel version 3.4.0-omni-g27dc422, baseband version R970cvvufnc6, build number omni_jflte-userdebug 4.4.4 ktu84p 480 test-keys, android version 4.4.4. on Cricket Samsung GalaxySCH-R970c,. Will the overclockable kernels from any other carriers s4 models work in my phone or does one need to be specifically created with the SCH-R970c in mind? Pleas do not ask me "why overclock your phone anyway it will only do this or that", or "it wont do this or that", or "whats the point" or whatever else any one wants to say that wouldn't actually be an answer to any of my specific questions. I appreciate any help in these matters and I thank anyone who replies with helpful info.

Hello everyone!
I'm curious as to whether or not anyone is overclocking this phone just yet? if so, what speeds are you finding stable?
I jumped from the original EVO on sprint, to this phone on AT&T and I couldn't be happier, but I'm also a tinkerer. Ill be experimenting myself but wanted to know if anyone else is as I haven't found much info on this cpu and it's OC capabilities as pertains to this phone.
No custom kernels yet. Waiting for a proper CWM to flash roms/kernels.
Devs need unlocked bootloader and kernel source before any of that will be possible.
At the risk of ridicule, here goes; I just changed from DX running Liberty Rom to the latest Galaxy Nexus LTE from Verizon running the latest IC. I can't seem to find a custom rom compatible with this device. I've attempted "codename android" 1.5.5 and 1.6. to no avail. I like the APEX but don't think it's compatible with my OS. Looking for a good compatible rom further customize.
Thanks!
Well, after absolutely no help from the forum, I figured it out on my own. I guess most here forget that they too were noobs at one time. I'll try to be a little more helpful than what I've received this far.
I would first like to start by saying i have searched everywhere on the forums for several hours trying to find my answer with no luck. so if the answer is indeed out there please point me in its direction.
I currently have a clean ESN on my non-active SPH-D710 Sprint Galaxy S2, rooted, and romed with build number "RUJELUS22 The Blu Kuban GB27 2.0.0.5" Software version"GB27" Android Version 4.1.2, Kernal version 3.0.74+
I am currently using my active SPH-M820-BST, Android Version 2.3.6, Kernel Version 2.6.35.7, GINGERBREAD.FF19 Build number. Hardware Ver.M820.07. through Boost Mobile. (Samsung Prevail)
A friend of mine romed, and rooted the GS2 for me, but is no longer around to help, or teach me how to finish the project, i am very new at this, but know my way around the PC, Ive tried the very first step (or so i assume) to retrieve the GS2 MSL through Terminal Emulator // Connect Bot with "getprop ril.MSL", the command runs, but doesnt show the needed info. ive been trying to find a way to Flash this Boost over to this Sprint phone for weeks. I'm asking as well as apologizing if this has already been solved. I desperately need help with this. Please, and Thank You for your time.
Cool, thanks everyone, now i know why i dont use this website
You still need help

I recently bought a Samsung Multi Media dock that I finally got to work reliably. I'm not impressed with the experience so I want to flash my phone over to a custom rom so I can tweak settings (and recover from it if I screw it up). I used to have a custom rom on my last phone but since I had to replace it when Cricket nuked their CDMA network I'm stuck with a stock Samsung Galaxy S4, with touchwiz- I hate touchwiz.
My brother kind of held my hand when my phone was first flashed over to CyanogenMod, a more accurate description was that he sabotaged it giving me little reason not to flash a custom image, so I'm still a bit new at this. I've gone threw the forums with the intent of reading up on weather I can and how I should go about flashing my phone. Problem is that I can't find anything that directly relates to the version of the firmware I have and I don't know if its compatible with any of the methods on the table.
I'm rightfully terrified of bricking my phone. I at least want some encouragement of reading about people with a success rate with an identical device before I go off and potentially brick my phone, if I do brick my phone I want it to be completely my fault because I plan on reading every guide and forum thread twice just to make sure I don't miss a nuance of the process.
Anyway,
i have a Galaxy S4, SGH-I337Z
Build #: KOT49H.i337zTUUBOA1
Android Ver- 4.4.2
security software ver: mdf v1.0 Rel 2
any combination of that information just points me to similar threads with no 100% (or even 50%) identical information. I've got three threads open in tabs rite now that say things about MD3 or MK2 firmware and I have no idea if I have those or not.
Anyway I'm hoping someone can find the info I'm to blind to find myself.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
Best answers you will receive in the dedicated forum for this device, see bellow, but first you need to register an aacount on XDA for full access.
Here's few discussions about your device:
[Q] Help Rooting the aio S4 model i337z
[guide][how-to] sim unlock aio/cricket galaxy s4 i337z
[Q] i337z Cricket variant that is no good for modding?
For questions please ask directly here: Stupid Questions Thread - No question too stupid!
Good luck
I hope this is the correct section to post this. I have a sgs3 GT-I9300T that is/was carrier locked through Vodafone. I say is/was because I can currently use an Optus simcard without problems. This specific model does not support any upgrade past 4.3 jellybean (which is bs lol)
So here I am, a complete phone noob, wondering how to root this specific model and upgrade to at least the 4.4.4 KitKat port ive seen posted. Is there any guides or how tos on the subject? Is there a difference between both GT-I9300 and the T variation in terms of rooting/flashing custom roms etc?
I have a dream to become Pokémon master but my phone is not allowing me to become one. Please help me
can anyone help?
