Folks,
I have searched this site as well as the net and I keep getting links to install custom kernels, not how to set undervolting. I have the overcome kernel installed. Can someone give me some guidance?

This is the thread I followed. It also has OC instructions, but I am sure you can just use the UV setting if you like.
The UV app is called voltage control. It's free and in the market.
Also, I have the same kernel/rom as you, and I followed all the settings in that thread (OC/UV). My tab is working nicely those settings.

Hey all,
First - please do not flame me, I would have posted this in the thread with the root but I can't (under 10 posts).
Question is why does the Tiamat kernel have to be applied to root the wifi xoom - surely it is not necessary since the 3G xoom has a clean mod?
Or do we require tiamat's boot.img?
PS hi
The boot.img contains the unlocked goodness that allows you root access. If you do not use a governor such as Droid Overclock or SetCPU the CPU will not be over clocked and you will be for all intents and purposes running just as if you were on stock.
Tiamat did the dirty work in the boot.img to get the 1's and 0's free.
cool, thanks for the reply. what i suspected. and i have an app that requires root access, but just wondering if i have to apply tiamat's tun.ko kernel updates? - trying to change as little as possible to minimize possibility of incompatibility
Hello everyone!
I have a Defy+ which ran CM10 for a while. Now I moved to Mokee OS a week ago and I like it. But the bootmenu included with it its missing the nice touch bootmenu I had with CM10, which had an option I really liked: the CPU Settings.
Is there are way for me to install this onto my current bootmenu? Or some other nice way to modifiy my CPU seetings? Mokee OS includes some tools to tweak the CPU and all that, but they are too many, so clunky and cluttered that is easily to get lost or feel you don't have the real control. I just want to be able to:
- Change my CPU clock frequencies and their vsels
- Select the smartassV2 governor
- Tweak the smartassV2 options (like awake_ideal_freq)
I've seen that this could be done probably through init.d scripts, but for some reason is not working for me.
Any information will be greatly appreciated. In advance, many thanks!
I am already read a thread about touch bootmenu in general or development section. But i cant remember. So just search.

after a while I got the courage and guts to change to a custom kernel and I chose Hells Fusion #50 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891682)
questions:
1.) what are the requirements of the kernel?
2.) what free app can I use to manipulate frequencies and governors?
3.) what are I/O schedulers??? (I searched xda for info on them but couldnt find detailed descriptions)
4.) do I need to reflash my scripts/tweaks so that it will work in the new custom kernel? (flyon mod and kitchen battery mod)
5.) is it compatible with a stock ROM?
6.) what are the risks of flashing it? and how do I lessen the risks?
7.) is this kernel stable? (I see many use it and i need if possible 100% stable because my phone is sooo important to me)
8.) is the instructions (found in the kernel thread) really that simple?
im sorry if its overwhelming amount of information i am asking but i will read pages if it makes me understand and give me peace of mind in flashing a new kernel.
1) the kernel it self, clean init.d folder, galaxy y
2) NoFrillsCPU
3) i'm also confused with this one.
4) just copy the scripts in the init.d folder to your sd card. then after your done flashing the kernel put the scripts back to init.d and set permissions. reboot.
5) i'm not sure. i haven't tested it in stock rom. but i think it is compatible.
6) bootloop if you don't follow the instructions in the thread of hell lock and in the aroma installer. read it CAREFULLY. don't be excited.
7) yes it is stable. i have no issues with the wifi. there is no reboot issues.
8) yes
answers for the remainder questions-
3) One simple search on xda brought me to this
5) Yes. It does work with the stock rom. I've used it with no issues.

Here's a question.
and yes, I did read most of the A500 stuff before posting this.
I currently have CyanogenMod V 10.2, and a 4.2.2 kernel
Here's my question. I see in the recovery rom, an option to overclock.
how can I do this from inside the normal kernel? is there an option I just haven't seen?
I understand it needs to be be done inside the rom, but seriously, haven't seen any discussion on how to get this running on a regular basis.
thanks in advance

Why not make it easy, download and install SetCpu or any one of the multitude of OC apps on the market, and just set your OC/UV from there? You can select "set at boot" and it will retain your selections in the event of a re-boot.
Not all kernels are capable of OC/UV. This is all dependant on if the dev compiled the kernel with the correct frequency and voltage tables to allow this.
The fact that the CWM recovery has options, has 0 impact if the OC can be done. The OC option is in every recent CWM recovery version regardless of kernel being installed.
So my advice, download and install an OC app from play store, and check if your kernel supports it.
One more bit of advice... do not select "set at boot" until you have checked out your OC/UV settings.

Thank you very much. dumb Xnix person that I am, didn't think to check if there were any apps like that. will investigate.

There are a ton of free apps. System Tuner, NoThrills, PimpmyCPU, etc. Personally, I like SetCpu (free version here at XDA, use search), and System Tuner.
Yeah, although my kernel does support 3072MHz, but I'm unable to set it to up to 2649MHz?
I'm using n910f stock Rom, android 5.1, emotion Kernel.
I'd appreciate any help.
Use overclocking root apps like "Set CPU". You will get it on the play store. With that u can set ur processor's clock rate minimum/maximum. If that doesn't work then try using a kernel thats mentioned in snapdragon section and then try using that overclocking app. Overclocking is only possible if u have installed a kernel that supports it and also the phone has to be rooted.
