Cyanogenmod 6.1 Overclocking?

I'm running CM 6.1 on my hero cdma and was wondering how to overclock it. I know I've seen forums on here about the same subject but the ones I've seen haven't helped at all. Can someone show me how to overclock mine past 528 mhz?

You're already OC'd to 691mhz if you are running CM6.1.

As far as I know, CM 6.1 already has an OC'd kernel.
If you want a different one thats better, stable, all around amazing go HERE and download Decad3nce's stable kernel (or whatever suits your needs) and flash it <--- I would do this
If you download Deca's mau5 themed rom or AOSP they both are OC'd with Deca's kernel.

Or you can get SetCPU from the Marketplace (or here) and it will overclock you're current kernal. It has different settings for power or performance. I didn't notice much of a difference and it gave me a couple problems on the power saving mode.

I think i will do that. Except I'm just confused by the instructions on that link. Could you try to clear that up for me?

All you do is flash it from recovery, as the instructions say.

is there a difference in performance/efficiency between CM 6.1+setCPU to overclock to 768mhz vs. using CM 6.1 with deca's modded 768mhz kernel?

AFAIK, the stock cm kernel will not oc to 768. That may have changed, but IMHO, deca's kernels are better. He's tweaked them to run smoother and more efficiently. Also, I would suggest the batt tweak instead of setcpu.

Im new to overclocking, I know what it basically is but. I just flash decas kernel from recovery and then what? Is it done? Also if it kills my battery how do I remove it?

[Q] {HELP} Sprint Samsung Epic midNight Rom v3.1 EXT4 CW3

Interested in overclocking my cpu. I have heard of people doing this at 1.2 GHz and still maintain stability and good battery life. Currently installed is Kernel version 2.6.32.9 after granting SetCPU su permission (and checking always allow) I find that the max overclock is at 1 GHz. Obvioulsy this is not a Kernel that can be overclocked. I tried installing some random Kernel I found online using Odin. This however failed during install and "bricked" my phone. I was able to Odin back to stock, re-root, and re-flash this ROM. Does anyone know of a Kernel that will work with this ROM and allow me to overclock? I really like this ROM so far and I want to keep it!
Thanks in advance,

Your best bet may be searching the Epic's wiki page for kernals. The sticky link is located in each of the Epic's forums.

there aren't any kernels right now for froyo because of no source from samsung/sprint
we have to wait till official 2.2 drops

Thanks I appreciate it iSaint! Is it worth flashing a 2.1 ROM and Kernel so that I can overclock or do you think that overclocking is overated and that this midNIGHT 3.1 (which is blazing fast compared to stock) is fast enough!...... I guess will I notice a huge difference after overclocking to 1.2 GHz?

no problem...if you want stability and speed then you cant argue with ACS syndicate 2.1 but i use MidNight which IMO is very fast and i've had zero problems with it so far there isn't really that much of a difference to me on 1.2-1 GHz but test them out and decide what you like 8)

Looks like I'll just stick with midNIGHT 3.1 for awhile. Any tweeks you know of that will improve speed and performance?

the no journaling mod but i think that flashes with the rom(not sure)
and i delete anything i dont use before i flash the zip
open it up system/app just dont delete anything important or necessary things i delete are (swype,browser i replace with dolphin,launcher2,live wallpapers) thats all i do bro

Thanks a lot, I've allready flashed the no journalling mod. But thanks anyway. All in all midNight is blazing fast and I'm very happy with that ROM. Have a good day!

2 cents here.
Personally 2.1 oc'd to 1.3 ghz on acs gave me more speed than midnight 3.1. Rummaging through the phone the advantages of rfs over ext4 are evident. But Playing games and multitasking goes to 2.1 acs @1.3 ghz for me. The phone flies at 1.3. Just try it. you have nothing to lose and you can easily flash back.

Ill definately give that a try. Is that 2.1 include the gps fix?

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

very nice work here fellas very nice
and the Rom Manager was a nice touch too

I guess this means CWR doesn't have a problem with flashing kernels anymore?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're really opposed to CWM, couldn't you just unzip the package, flash the kernel with fastboot and push the file in system/lib using adb?
Anyway, Smartass governor? Wow, having had a Droid X before I feel like I've really been out of the loop. Read up on it, I like it. It's good to have a kernel that I feel I can relate to.

Still charges in cwm when off just displays cwm recovery screen if fastboot is not enabled.

Nor Quadrant neither Antutu does work on extreme versions of gl notecore

please guys i dont know is it normal or not so let me know that why does it always gets stuck on 3d tests while performing any benchmark using any of the overclocked versions gl notecore kernel. I really like that kernel but also do want some overclocking but whenever i try doing benchmark test using the extreme versions it gets stuck on the earth and moon rotation animation-testing screen and on antutu on the screen where battalion army animation is shown.
I have tried v2, v4, v5 v6 and till v8 extreme versions(overclocked) of gl notecore kernel. Tried and tested on rocket rom v7, kindroid v4.2 v4 3 and v5.1.1 also on latest and greatest clean note v4 but everytime it got stuck. It never happened to me on overclocked franco's kernel r5 nor did it ever happened on any cm9 or aokp roms while running anidroid kernel. So guys if you can help me out your help would be really appreciated
Thanks in advance.

I guess it's your device because I have used both benchmarks with gl notecore extreme and everything went all right.
I'm using v8 with criskelo's rom v10

i dont think so

For me it is, just use his rom. No tweaks that will conflict his kernel. Using now his rom and his beta 8.2 at full speed.
Not a single sod ore freez. Antutu 7300, quadrant 5300.
Please if you use a custom rom, delete all init.d. Those are his words. You can find it in system,etc,init.d

By his rom do you mean cleannote v4 as it is the current rom im running. Also i checked for that folder but it is already not present there. Also now i have noticed that on his v8.1ex version i get screen freezes while running quadrant which only way to get rid off is restart the phone. Im loving his kernel guys its extremely smooth but just help me out with this problem as i wanna flaunt its performance through technical data. Lol
Thanks for your support guys.

Well some phones do not like oc and uv. You should do a clean install and do not restore apps and system with tittanium backup.
First test your cleanote without your apps. i use nofrills for to set my cpu. Do not use set cpu because many users experiance problems with that.
Good luck

no results.

Hey mate i have already done as you said. I have not restored any app through titanium back up. Infact i do not have titanium even installed on my note on cleannote v4. There is no set cpu installed too. Btw i tried with no frill but still no luck.
One tiny little request if you can will you post the link of this thread on galvin's kernel thread so that might be able to help me as of right now im veey junior member so according to xda rules i cant.
Thanks for your time buddy.

Hi, as you requested, he did post your thread link over at the NOTECORE kernel thread. However, as I mentioned above, I m facing the same issue and have read the kernel developers answer on this as well. Acc to him, not every phone can support the EX version. Its due to the difference in voltages. My phone cannot handle the EX version as well. However, I m happy to stick with the Standard version. If you're looking for great Quadrant and Antutu scores, just change the governer to pegasusq using SetCPU or any similar app, uncheck Power saving option and then run the test couple of times. I always get around 4400 Quadrant and 7100 Antutu scores.

thanks guys

Also many thanks for posting this link on gl notecore kernel thread
So is there anyways we could play around with these voltages and make it work. May be some technical experts here might have the answer to that i hope.

Im using notecore 8.1 ex with classic rom v3 and they both run fine have got pretty good scores too.

All you need is the setCPU app (search in xda forums,you'll find it) and change the governer from ONDEMAND to pegasusq, that's it.

Yes bro i have done just the same as an alternative to ex version and it gives onsiderable performance and scores but will always have a craving for extreme version. Hope to get some technical help from xda experts to make ex version run on my note just fine.

As has already been mentioned not all phones are equal. your needs more core voltage than what my extreme kernel is configured for. if i increased it you would then complain about heat and battery life getting worse.
Stick with my standard version as that uses stock cpu voltages and frequencies. If you took the time to read the OP and even the last few pages of the thread you would have seen this mentioned.

You can use tegrak to adapt the frequency and the voltage. This way you can set the frequencies that suit best for your phone.

Both kernels are smooth. Good job to both of you! :good:
But like any device you have CPU Bins... My bin may be the same as Flar2's and your bin may be different...
Case in point... I cannot O/C my Nexus 6 with Flar2's kernel but it runs smooth. Agitates my I cant O/C but its smooth so I cant really complain.
Benchmarks are just for bragging rights anyways! How the every day usage feels is the important part. I think the two kerenls (yours and his) are equal for daily usage!
I would recommend either. They are both great!
Wish I had Kernel skills like that! Im just a ROM guy

I have stock nexus 9 decrypted, elemental x kernel OC to 2499 an GPU of to 984, deadline scheduler... Can't ever seem to get more than 58k....
So weird that the USB host guy says "stock ROM with elemental kernel" and Gert's like a 67k out the gate.
I cant even Check the CPU BIN because this is an Nvidia chip and that info isn't stored in the same place in android as it is ith Qualcomm chipsets.
