There's a few different kernels in there. Look at the file names. GB is for Gingerbread roms, AOSP for AOSP roms, Sense... well that's obvious.
Don't feel bad, I don't believe it was ever posted.

Now for a second question. When flashing this kernel, is it necessary to flash the 1.5 kernel before hand? I think I read somewhere that it is suggested but don't remember any confirmation on this matter. Also, any suggestions for roms?

I don't know the answer to that but..
Also when flashing a new kernel don't forget to clear your delvik cache.

Someone had posted that just flashing the 1.8 kept giving them a boot loop and when they flashed 1.5 to 1.8 it worked fine

Would not clearing delvik cache cause random reboot? I don't remember doing it so I'm guessing I didn't. I have the 1.5 kernel flashed now and when I had it maxed out it rebooted once while I was trying to post earlier through the xda app. I have it set to 1.4 now and haven't had a problem. Could this be the max my processor can handle? Should I even give the 1.8 kernel a chance given the reboot issue? Thanks to everyone who is helping.
Sent from my Evo Shift.

You could wipe dalvik and flash the 1.8..I personally wouldn't set my max to 1.8 just cause I had problems overheating and a few reboots but you could try something in the 1.5-1.7 range and see how that goes...then again I over heated trying to get higher linpacks and ended up just over 65
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

I will give it a try and see what happens. At least I have nandroid to fall back on if all else fails. How about ROMs? Does anyone have any suggestions? I came from a Moto Cliq and was using ADLX's ROM (I think 2.1) and loved what he did for the phone. Definitely like using Launcher Pro but am growing partial to Sense. Opinions and suggestion openly welcomed. Will prolly try a few before I settle. I am definitley anxious to try Gingerbread but have heard that it may be skipped over for alot of phones in favor of Honeycomb?...

Dont't feel bad, I'm sure there'll be quite a few more users that can't make it that high.
@OP - I helped somebody in the IRC who got bootloops even when wiping cache and dalvik cache. Ultimately the only thing the worked for him was to flash the 1.5 then the 1.8. Every user will, sadly, have a slightly different experience.

I have flashed the 1.8 oc kernel and seems to be stable at the moment. Scored a 2217 on Quadrant. Only minimal improvement from the 1.5 kernel. Scored a 2063 with that one. Also haven't maxed out the new kernel. Running just under max. Will do some stress testing and see what happens.

That's actually a pretty reasonable improvement. A few people in the IRC have broken 3000, including myself, on Evervolv. However, I had virtually NOTHING on the phone when I got that.
Its a shame benchmarks don't accurately reflect phone performance, cause this phone is amazing even on the stock rom @ 800 mhz.

New Aria user here...

Hello there XDA I just switched to the Aria from the Captivate. I am new to Android modding, so please bear with me.
I like the phone, It doesnt bother me losing screen space. However it is a bit slow with the 600 MHZ processor.
So if there are some people kind enough to guide me to/through the following it would be appreciated.
1. I would like to overclock it a bit, maybe to 800.
2. General performance tweaks
3. Get rid of Att bloatware
4. Root ( z4root is not in the market anymore and ATT disables side loading.)

Hey Joshua, being new to the Aria as well (less than a month), I haven't looked into overclocking it... but I am running CM 6.1 RC 2, what do I need to do to start overclocking?
Install SetCPU to overclock. I wouldn't go over 825mhz as it starts getting unstable.
As for rooting, search for posts by user asiancuta. He did a really good write up that included a key point I didn't see anywhere else. It's titled NOOBZ: easy guide to rooting your aria.... Read all instructions, and make sure you understand it first.

In the other overclocking thread (or overcloking as the OP spelled it ) several people posted that they were running at 864... what type of instability is likely? Also, doesn't overclocking HAVE to have some sort of adverse effect? Like reduced reliability or an increased likelihood of hardware failure? If there are no adverse effects, why would HTC not set the CPU higher from the factory?
I want to try it, but I feel like I pushed the limits of my comfort zone just by rooting and installing CM...

I always lean on the side of caution when it comes to overclocking a phone. I don't want to fry the processor since I can't replace it as easily as one on a computer.
Processors are never set from the factory to run at their fastest.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
While it might seem odd since all these phones have the same hardware they don't all respond the same to overclocking. Some people can do 864. I can't even get my phone to do anything over 825 and even 825 gives me issues. I like to keep mine between 768-787. Over doing it can cause damage and shorten the life of the processor but keeping it around 800 is probably safe as long as you moniter temps. Heat is the real enemy here. Manufacturers are trying to balance cost, reliability, battery life. Our little phone use a smaller battery and so a lower clock speed keeps the phone running longer. And the aria is a mid range phone, they don't want it to be faster than the more expensive phones. Also Higher clock speeds will drain your battery faster. At 768 the phone is noticeably snappier and the battery drain over stock isn't even noticeable.
Huh. That's good to know, Callmearia. However I don't even know where to start on any of this. I've never 'flashed' a phone or anything like that before.

This is a really good guide explaining how to root your phone and install a custom recovery, Clockwork, with which you can flash ROMs, make backups, and a bunch of other stuff:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788737
You will still not be able to sideload apps just by rooting though. You will need to flash a ROM in order to do that. Check out the Android Development section, it is all there.

I think most people can hit 864 now using CM6.1 RC2. I think some tweaks were made to allow it. Before I was only hitting 825mhz or 844mhz when I ran in to stability problems... but now I have none. Or, it could be due to the fact it's colder here now.
Alright, so after some adb troubles with Ubuntu 10.10, I am now rooted, woo!
So now, where to go from here?
This worked flawlessly and easy. Less than 5 minutes

Take in mind that CM has more customizable features, INCLUDING OVERCLOCKING. Liberated doesn't.
Place the .zip on your SD card. Enter clockworkmod recovery by holding down the volume down button after restarting phone. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache. Go to install zip from Sdcard. Pick the file. It should install. wait, and reboot and continue.
Customize it to your liking. Download apps/widgets
Turn off unnecessary background items. (Auto Sync)
Decrease Brightness
Only use GSM networks

That is the SetCPU for XDA members.
To install, go through ADB in the command line, or download FASTAPP Install from the Market and place the .apk on your sd card and install it from there.

That's probably true. I haven't tried going over 825 since way back with dumfuqs kernel.
Alrighty... did all that, now running cyanogenmod on my Aria! \o/
No more ATT bloatware.
I made sure to do a nandroid backup just in case.
Also overclocked to 768MHz. Phone seems a bit quicker.

Try leaving the OC alone after the reflash.. It's defaulted to 864mhz and it works flawlessly for me.
It was default 600MHz for me.

Its different for every one. My VM is a local number. You can always just use your phone number.
I recently set my VM to go thru my Google Voice number now.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Using my own number worked.
However, now my phone is freezing randomly, and causing the launcher to hang. (ADW and LauncherPro both do this)
It seems android.process.acore always takes alot of CPU time when it does this.

[Q] Freezing once passing 1.51ghz

I've tried both CM7 and Evervolv roms and they both freeze once I go past 1.51ghz. Anyone know a reason for this?
Using cwm3 or 2.5:
When I flash a rom I wipe cache, delvik, data and battery.
Then i install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard. I do this for roms, kernals, and gapps. I first flash rom then gapps then kernal.
Ive also tried setting permissions with cwm.
I am currently using CM7 with the gb kernal, and SetCPU. Funny thing is that setcpu sometimes has the bar thing set to 1.51 but then the max says 800mhz. I have to move the bar around for it to set correctly.
Some phones aren't going to be able to clock that high, no matter what what you do. The Hero CDMA was like this as well. Some couldn't go over 691 mhz.
Try and remember that this phone is marketed at 800 mhz, so making it all the way to 1.8 could be considered a pipe dream by some. Although I've personally seen a G2 make it all the way to 2.1 ghz.
Sent from my PG06100
Edit: As far as setcpu goes, I myself have had that same issue with the Shift and the Heroc. I am personally using the nofrills app. Best I've seen. You can find it in the Hero CDMA forum, first post of the aospCmod thread by user aosp.
What governor are you using under setcpu(assuming you are using setcpu)? Try using "on demand" if you haven't already tried that.

Best overclock kernel?

I'm still more or less a noob to the whole android customization, even though I tried out a lot of different roms on my saphire (MT3G). I recently upgraded to th MyTouch 4G, and immediately found a root method to install a custom rom. I tried several different roms for this device as well over the, last few weeks, and found that the ICE GLACIER 1.1.6 runs the most stable, and closest to the original. So my question is this: I have also been looking into overclock kernels as of late only to find that all the ones I try with my rom are either incompatible or cause frequent freezes, crashes, or restarts. Is there a kernel out here I have missed that will run smoothly with my rom? I have already looked trough some of the forums here and tried both versions of the faux kernel, and all the rest I have seen that aren't CM specific. Anyone can point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from Iced out Glacier (MT4G) v. 1.1.6
Gorilla's OC kernel that TeamSilence put in Ice-Glacier is a very strong and stable OC kernel. if I remember correctly that kernel will go up to 1708 or 1709 if you have SetCPU.
I am using set cpu, but even the kernel that comes with the rom freezes my phone up, or causes force closes and restarts out of the blue.

If you're OCing to 1.7GHz, that may not be the kernel's fault. Every CPU is different, some can't overclock as high as others. Here's a nifty thread on the subject.
Very true, just like the MT3G-Slide mine could go well into the 900's before it would lockup but my wife's can only hit 844 any higher and it locks

Thanks for the info. I love my MT4G as is, so overclocking isn't really a big issue, after reading this article, I am begining to wander if it is even a good idea. I was only curious to find out the problem because I never had such troubles overclocking my saphire (MT3G)
Edit: have reduced settings to 1497600mhz. Going to play around a little bit and see what my best settings are. As of now, this settings have outlasted all others. Thanks to those who responded. And HAIL to the devs who spend their time creating all these roms, so noobs like myself can easily make their devices unique!¡!¡!¡!¡!

Does the kernel affect battery life given the same clock speed? What I mean is if I am using CM7 RC1 with whatever Kernel it came with... and I change to the Faux kernel and keep the same clock speed will I see diff. battery life?
Are there any kernels that are tuned for better battery life?

I'm running on the kernel that came with Ice Glacier now, thanks to a hard crash around midnight last night. I've been set at 1497mhz since I restored. No freezes, acceptable battery temps, and blazing response time. Now I only wander if one of the kernels allow a little better fine tuning, because if I try to change this one it only has two more setting, one in the 1600s and then max, both of which cause my phone to go crazy...

I don't know for certain, but I would think it matters more if the kernel is undervolted or not. Assuming the same usage patterns and CPU clock settings/profiles, the kernel that utilizes less voltage would preserve more battery, would it not? (Anyone with experience on the subject wanna chime in?)

[Q] Decreased benchmark and linpack scores

So, this is not a big deal for me, more just general curiosity. I noticed about a week ago both my Linpack scores and Quadrant scores took a massive dive. I used to be able to get Linpack in the 50s easy and Quads of 2800+ when I OC'd to 1.8ghz. Seemingly randomly, now when I OC to 1.8ghz I get around 1500 Quads and in the 30s in Linpack. My performance does not feel compromised at all though. Still smooth as butter and everything seems to be fine. Just wanting to know if anyone else has had this happen, or if there are any ideas on what might be causing it.
I have tested this on CM7RC1, RoyalThunder, IcedGlacier, RoyalLiquid, and now RoyalGinger all with a similar result. I am truly baffled as to how this is following me from ROM to ROM. I do a complete wipe before every flash (wipe data/cache/davik, and with RoyalGinger formatted data and system as well).

Thats odd did you see this even after erase system -w? Next time you flash make sure /system is formatted and do total full wipe and then reflash it.
Today was actually the first time I've done a complete wipe including formatting system and data. The ONLY thing I did not do was format my SD. If there is any reason that could cause the issue I can try that.

Well Quadrant normally does not access /sdcard-ext0 for the read/write database test and only time that comes in to play is if you have the rom loaded from SDCard and not have it allocated on NAND but on RAM. Now I am not fully aware of TR's project as if they use /sdcard-ext or not to better allocate memory. But in that case you can go ahead and format the sdcard and see what happens.
I get higher than the score you seeing on 1017MHz. I recommend you do nandroid backup. Do full wipe and then reflash CM7NB14 and with kernel of your choice then run the benchmark. If you see its fixed then TR is who you should hit so just reverting using nandroid backup you can revert back or you can reinstall it fresh this time with sdcard data backed up and then refromatted.

Best Before Date

my Atrix was flying before i had to send it in for warranty work a few weeks back. (digitizer) Antutu scores around 7000. the rest of the benchmark tests where pretty high also. When it was returned i immediately unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. Now my scores from Antutu are 4500 at best. I am using the exact same rom (Neutrino), and kernel (Faux123) as before. I have tried other roms (cm7 nightlies) reinstalled and full fastboot wipe many times but still the same outcome. The only difference i can see is that i used an different method to unlock the bootloader and root the second time around. Do you think the some of the permission where affected differently the second time around. Am i just overlooking something?
HELP!!!!!!

Is the phone actually slower? Or just scoring lower scores?

Here is my example, a refurbished Atrix I read from some users can't even sometimes boot a custom kernel when the custom kernel is around 1.45 to 1.6. For example the one kernel that the dev clemsyn. I saw a FEW mention that when they said they had a refurbished Atrix.

my Atrix was flying before i had to send it in for warranty work a few weeks back. (digitizer) Antutu scores around 7000. the rest of the benchmark tests where pretty high also. When it was returned i immediately unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. Now my scores from Antutu are 4500 at best. I am using the exact same rom (Neutrino), and kernel (Faux123) as before. I have tried other roms (cm7 nightlies) reinstalled and full fastboot wipe many times but still the same outcome. The only difference i can see is that i used an different method to unlock the bootloader and root the second time around. Do you think the some of the permission where affected differently the second time around. Am i just overlooking something?
HELP!!!!!!

There is a "Boost.sh" script included with Neutrino (I believe in /system/etc) that Notorious recommends be run when you get that "not so fresh" feeling. It is a defrag tool that can be assigned to a widget and should be run every so often.
Also, you will want to see if "Nitrocharger.sh" in the same directory is running as Root at Boot. I have seen big improvements by implementing this.
Both of these scripts came with the ROM, so hopefully you have fast access to them. Good luck to you!
thanks for the info fellow xdaers,,,,,

Actually I had the opposite experience. My original phone wouldn't boot with the clemsyn kernel. My digitizer bombed and I received a refurbished unit from repairs. The new unit runs the clemsyn kernel just fine. So I guess it's just the luck of the draw...

the phone actually feels slower. more laggy when it comes to videos, games, scrolling through menus. my fps scores are all lower across the board in any benckmark. yes i know they mean nothing but when the scores are that drastically effected there is an issue i believe.

As tob said, those "so verry little script" can makes big differences sometimes
I would like to add my personal toughts, for me, the ROM actually scoring higher and higher and feel a litle bit more freshier each week past within the ROM... so my thoughts would be, the cache partition, the more longer the rom is implemented, the more score you'll get cause the cache slowly become bigger and bigger giving you full power to open something tough!
As for the battery, from my experiences, you can't really judge a battery life while you just flashed a rom, you got to wait until the first week to see if there a big changes between the other ROM you came from ... so my guess would be, those scripts and the longer the ROM is implemented on your phone, the more fast and stable it will get, and you will feel the power slowly coming out again!
My bad if I'm completely wrong, but it is my guess!
Hood luck with your "new" phone
i brought up some old Antutu scores and notice that my ram. cpu integar and floating point scores are extremely low. i have tried multiple kernels but still no change. now i am even more confused......doesn't take much. could it be that my cpu is locked so i can not overclock. it kinda feels like its only utilizing one core.
after weeks of exhaustive searching i finally found a fix that worked.
