I would like too edit a kernal for my galaxy tab but cant find a program that does it.. Or is it not possible?
Thanks
Hmm more i think about it maybe i shouldn't mess with the kernel much sense i don't want too mess anything up..
But still would be nice too learn about the kernel and i wouldn't think just messing with some clocks would do any harm.
I mainly just want too put the clocks down too 1.1 instead of 1.2 because my tab ain't stable so i would like too see if it is on 1.1. Right now im using setcpu too have it at 1ghz stock and everything is fine at least.

Ok, I'm running Gutted 1.6 among other things. I am trying to over clock the phone but I had read somewhere that a custom kernel was needed so the phone doesn't throttle itself. Idk if I have one and if not were/what do I need. Anyone?
A) Where did you get Gutted 1.6? chuck has only released Gutted 1.5.
B) There isn't a custom kernel that fully allows overclocking at this time.
oops
1.5 my bad. Ok so does the "overclocking" app even do any thing?
Most people I have spoken to could not get any OCing apps/widgets working.
with a custom kernel the setcpu will work, however getting it to overclock has not been achieved yet, still working on that.
I apologize if something like this has already been posted. Fel free to just point me to another thread. I have rooted my phone and installed the overclock widget. I also installed quadrant and ran the benchmark, but even with overclocking, I am only seeing a result around 540. Any ideas?
did you flash a kernel that allows for overclocking? Just installing the overclock widget isn't going to allow your phone to overclock. You need a kernel with the instructions added. There are some in the development forum, but it looks as of right now they break the cameras and perhaps the Wifi.

You know what? You're right and I knew that a few hours ago, and forgot between then and now. Thank you.
I got around 1270 on mine without an overclock.... but I am using FroYo ;p
I am running CM6 A013 with oc-legend-cm-2.6.29.6 kernel. Everything seems to be working just fine except for the wifi. Has anyone gotten the wifi to work with the oc kernels?
I read in another thread that we could take the wlan.ko file from an old ROM. Does anyone have a copy of this file or would anyone be willing to pull the file so that I can test it? I really appreciate it.
same situation here. neither kernels work with cm6's wifi and hotspot. can someone fix this please! i really want my wifi back! i didnt do a backup before hand!
Im looking at this and it looks easier than just replacing the entire kernel like you guys did, read here from that guy's post above:
"How to do it for kernel_legend_13be9c9c:
At first, you should read zanfur's post and his patch.
I just modified two tables in acpuclock-arm11.c excluding his having written.
1. modify cpufreq.c to let SetCPU to access freq tables
2. modify acpuclock-arm11.c to let HTC Legend be able to overclocking
3. modify msm7227_defconfig to disable PERFLOCK [optional]
You might not need modify defconfig when you use SetCPU which can purchase in Android Market.
SetCPU can disable PERFLOCK by setting. ([menu] -> [Perflock Disabler])"

So, with that said, I would take that file or file(s) and replace them with the ones in our current kernel made for our phone... might work and your wifi won't be broken.
You guys are running a kernel made for a different device.
could some one say in plain english the exact steps to get the old kernel back? the one from CM6

That kernel is not built for our wifi chip. The kernel needs to be built for the BCM chipset and not the TI. Further, the wifi module needs to be in sync with the kernel build. Android 101.
I am not sure what we are going to gain from overclocking. There just doesn't seem to be any end goal, other than bragging rights on a benchmark where the Aria can only hope to be among the best of the mediocre CPUs. If it's for flash - forget it. We don't have the instruction set required in the CPU. The downside is the potential to add instability and confuse test results for mods that can actually increase functionality.
I like overclocking and running a couple benchmarks once in a while. For day to day use I'm more interested in downclocking but only if it can increase battery life.

the extra speed of the OC makes a big different on the games, that's the reason I like it... Games run smoother with the OC kernel.... do the test.. try to run Abduction with the stock Kernel for a while and then with the OC.. you'll see the difference... also Live Wallpapers with the stock kernel is choppy... it is smooth with the OC.
Hell my nexus one has been over clocked since the day I got it (rooted that same day ) not that a 1ghz phone really needs it. Well the Nexus One maybe for gaming but my Captivate and Vibrant on the other hand doesn't need it period. You won't get better performance gaming with any other android handset out there to date. Still my Captivate is over clocked to 1.2ghz lol. Like I say there's something fun about pushing the limits.
It really just another thing to tweak and play around with on your device. It's always fun to push the limits.
There are several reason why I would like to overclock. 1. The 3D photo gallery loads photos really slow with the stock kernel, but with an overclocked kernel the pics loaded very quickly. 2. It's nice to run a 3D game or two without chopping. Just to name a couple. It would be nice to have an Aria kernel that works with all of the phones hardware. And showing off benchmark number is nice as well.
Tried posting this in the Taboonay thread, but it won't let me because I have less than 10 posts. Also tried searching, but didn't really find anything relevant, so I'll try asking here.
I just got my A500 last week. My first ROM attempt was Virtuous Galaxy, which was fun, but since it wasn't Acer stuff, some things didn't work, which I didn't like. Next, I tried Virtuous Picasso, which was great, but I could not get the cell service to stop sucking my battery.
Now I'm on Taboonay, and everything is going great so far. My question is about overclocking. With Virtuous Picasso, there were text files I could edit to set my overclock speeds. I don't see anything like that with Taboonay, or I just can't find the correct info. Is overclocking enabled by default on Taboonay? If so, how do I tweak the settings? Do I need to use something like SetCPU, or is there something built into Taboonay? Thanks in advance...

setcpu. vache has built in scaling scripts which may cause minor roblems for you using setcpu. if it does let me know and i'll tell you how to fix it.

Running SetCPU, it says my min is 216, and my max is 1000. How do I overclock?
It has been a few weeks since i was running tabonay, but as i remember to overclock you needed to change the kernel. I used the richardtrip one shown in the first or second post.
Then setcpu will let you change the oc.
If you use setcpu or cpumaster(my favorite) delete the /etc/init.d folder and reboot. Then set the cpunsettings you want.

I renamed init.d to init.d.orig and rebooted, and I tried both SetCPU and CPUMaster, and they both say the max is 1000, they won't go any higher. I guess I'll try updating the kernel like you suggest?
read forums
The answer to all of your questions and more are in the Dec threads you mentioned.I have read all of those threads as im watching the Roms close.all the drv do awesome job
With that said don't take this wrong but please read the forums flashing that much can cause youbto brick

I installed the RichardTrip kernel and all is well. I can go all the way to 1600 now, though I am going to keep it at 1500 for now. It's working great.
im looking for a kernel were i can overclock my verizon lg g2. i just want to see what kind of speed i can get with this phone. i know i dont need to overclock my phone everything i do on it runs perfectly smooth. this is just for fun

There are a couple of good kernels out there an easy one is dorimanx kernel it comes with an app called stweaks where you can tweak the kernel how you like it and it will overclock to 2.8 another is simple kernel I personally use simple kernel and I use android tuner along with it it will overclock to 2.5 there both is for stock based ROMs only but just remember that benchmarking with any of the benchmarking apps is not very reliable it you do use a benchmarking app let the kennel settle in for a few days and also you'll get the best score in the morning after the phone has day idle overnight that's just what I've noticed oh and by the way android tuner is geared a little more for advanced users as dorimanx with stweaks is pretty easy and self explanatory hope this helps
