Just wondering if anyone has tried both OC Xoom kernels and if so any difference? Is one better, more stable, etc etc than the other?
Its the same kernel. Just different tweaks. You can use either setCPU or droid overclock to manage frequency

My apologies if this has been answered but I haven't been able to find it ...
I'm running AvaFroyo V7 ROM on my rooted EVO, and installed SetCPU. Things are definitely faster. But it appears SetCPU only allows me to UNDERCLOCK (to save battery life, etc.).
Can SetCPU *not* overclock? What am I missing here ...
Thanks in advance!,

Overclocking has to be enabled in your kernel before you can set it ine set cpu.
It will allow you to overclock if you are using a custom kernel that is capable of the higher frequencies.

Thanks Steve!
Any recommendations ....?
I personally prefer Netarchy CFS 4.1.9.1 and I overclock to 1.19. King makes good kernels too..

Thanks, much appreciated!
Btw, what kind of clock speeds are you able to attain with those kernels?
-- Jon
Most of Kings and Netarchy's kernels can overclock to 1.26 but some CPUs become unstable at those frequencies. Mine runs real nice and safe at 1.19
Duh, my brain was on auto-pilot, didn't see the 1.19 in your previous post.
Thanks a bunch man!
I rooted my MY4G and installed IG last week...nothing else..i have added some little stuff like setCPU, terminal emulator, etc.
I keep reading about dif Kernels and i have no idea if i need to install one or what they do over the ice glacier i all ready installed.
explain all this too me please.
thanks
Different kernels just have different features. The stock kernel that comes with Iced Glacier is already a custom kernel (Gr8Gorilla's 1.8 GHz v.05). If I remember right, this kernel didn't have UV (Under Volting). There are many different features offered with each kernel choice. Such as:
OC (Over Clocking support): This just allows you to go higher than the factory settings.
UV (Under Volting): This means the kernel's voltage tables have been lowered to attempt to save battery life.
MinMax: This feature keeps the CPU running at the set minimum and maximum settings.
Smartass: Scales the CPU "intelligently." It acts in lieu of SetCPU profiles by scaling the processor down for screen off.
There are also different scaling types enabled in different kernels. Just give them a flash to see if you like them! Make sure you remember to do a nandroid first. Happy flashing!
I have a droid incredible htc running skyrider rom, i red that i can make an overcloking for increase the speed, i would like to know what i have to do. How to do it. What i need. I search in you tube but i cant find anything for droid incredible. Thanks...
SetCPU is the most common CPU frequency changer.
overclock widget is another alternative

What is the best setting. I have overclock widget. Thanks.... guys....
so there no kernels to help oc, just use setcpu tor similar apps?
on other phones u need kernels to oc. just curious if this phone i different
The default kernel won't overclock, setcpu can perflock the stock HTC Sense based kernel and allow underclocking for better battery preservation.
You can download chad's incredikernel, lou's kernels or ziggy's for Sense-based kernels that can be overclocked.
I don't know about the widget but on setcpu I have mine set to the highest with performence settings.
wao im confused know,do i need a kernel.thanks...
A lot of kernels have oc capabilities, but you still need SetCPU to tell it what speeds to run at and such. CM7 has this functionality built right into the CM Settings.
It will depend on what ROM you're using, and what kernel you're using.

will ziggys chad's incredikernel, lou's kernels or ziggy's kernels work for new sense 2.1 or 2.2?
Depending on what version they are. IDK what version the new kernels are but the sense 1 kernels are 2.6.32-17. IMO overclocking an incredible doesnt offer that much of a performance gain, it can only be bumped up by about 150-200mhz as compared to the other devices which can do 300-700mhz.

no that makes sense, im waiting in the mail for my phone so i dont know what new kernels numbers r, but if there the same they should work
I have a kernel version 2.6.3217-g9a2fc16

All Froyo-based ROMs should be covered by those three kernel builders. Unfortunately those also are about the only active kernel devs that are supporting Sense-based kernels, the majority are AOSP.
Has anyone thought of tweaking with the voltages on the incredible kernels. I also own a Nook Color and they thought 1.1 was the max for us until dal messed with the voltages and a few other things under the hood. If it gets us gains with running features on newer roms (sense 3.0) it might be worth exploring the possibilities.
dont forget my post please. I need more information, thanks..
I have vaguely heard of showp talking about how with his kernel, the GPU speed is set at install because a whole bunch of things need to be switched out, but I also know of Franco's interface being able to change GPU clock speed on the fly. Can anyone explain the difference between the two? And advantages/disadvantages of the two, if there are any?
Thanks,
Hey guys,
I wanted to get everyone's feedback and experiences between the 3 kernels. I realize that every device behaves differently, but was curious about which ones people have tried, if they found any cool things about specific ones they really liked Or if you wanted to share your experience about the latest build.
Thanks!
Trinity and franco are about the same, but trinity>franco.
KTmanta is in a totally different league, it offers total customization and imo is the best kernel just because of that.
Franco and Trinity are all about performance where ktmanta is about battery optimizations and customizations.
I haven't used Franco or trinity in a while, I know they score higher in benchmarks if that means anything at all.

I think everyone knows my preference, but they are all good kernels. Unfortunately this tablet is not on Franco's priority list and does not see much development. I dont believe it has a 4.3 compatible version yet and the last release has a serious bug that causes SoD for most people.
I like Trinity and KManta for different reasons (those stated above). If I need to squeeze out battery life, I go with KManta and tweak the settings accordingly. But for my day-to-day use, I like Trinity for its smoothness. Just my two cents
Awesome input guys! Real useful information.
How would you guys describe KTManta when just using the stock values? When you guys say "customization", do you guys mean the voltage settings and stuff like that? I've been flashing for years, but have never really understood how that worked. Which is funny, because I am an experienced PC overclocker. People say the concept is very similar. If KTManta's customization options were removed, would it be then comparable to Trinity? Or would it still be better without all the options?
Would you guys say Trinity still has decent battery life? Compared to KTManta at stock values?
Which one does Chrome work the best with?
Thanks!
Stock for stock Trinity is better because Morfic hardcodes overclock and undervolt values into the kernel and sets up all that stuff as his stock settings for the kernel. KTManta allows you to do those things and WAY more, but does not set them up as stock values because Ktoonsez prefers to keep the default settings for his kernel closer to the default settings of the stock AOSP kernel. So while Trinity may have -50mv undervolt to everything and a GPU overclock of 620MHz (I think that is the speed?), KTManta allows you to go +/- 200 mv to any frequency step for CPU or GPU that you feel like and also allows OC to 2.1GHz on CPU and 720MHz on the GPU if you want to, as well as RAM OC if you want to, and control of the scaling of every part of the chipset, again if you *want* to. But it doesnt set any custom stuff as default since everyone's device is unique and people want to do different things with it. That is why we have pre-made settings available from various users so that you can load custom values to try out without having to go through a bunch of experimentation yourself.
