[Q] Best stock GB with overclocking?

Ok i keep getting nagged to update my g2 I am permrooted using the no adb gfree method. So i have s-off supercid and all that. I want to manually flash a pre-rooted GB rom but I'm hoping for a stock rom with minimal changes. The one exception is I want to be able to overclock, I've been looking everywhere but there are too many options without the specific changes and builds outlined. Just a little confused and looking for advice on a rom that will fit what I'm looking for. I'm happy with the stock feel just want to overclock basically. Any ideas?

BOO! no one has any recommendations?

Xboarder56's stock 2.3 + enhancements can be overclocked and is pretty much just stock AOSP.

Sorry I'm new to some of this lol, but its that off the new ota build? Also does it make a difference? I have a stock rooted rom dvds it works great but I want the option of over clocking just because I can't help myself plus its awesome. I have pretty much every thing I own overclocked lol. free power is epic

CM7 and xboarder56's are both based on AOSP 2.3.5, the latest android release. There's no need for them to be based off of the OTA build because they've been compiled from AOSP source (and been around before the OTA was even a thought). For this reason we've had things like CM7 2.3 ROMs since January on the G2. Nearly every ROM in the dev section will have custom kernels that allow overclocking, though (except the bone stock pre-rooted OTA Builds, they're pretty much stuck atm).

Find the radio thread in the dev section. I recommend flashing the radio intended for the T-mobile 2.3 OTA.

is that radio Vision_Radio_12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30 ? Also, I flashed the bone stock pre rooted. My thing was I wanted to keep the stock look for now. Just to keep it simple, plus I like it. I will probably flash virtuous when they come out with a new update.

Yes thats the T-Mo US OTA radio.
ROMs like CM7 and other AOSP ones are very close to stock. The G2 ships (and OTAs) with an almost stock ROM, so anything built from AOSP will be very similar.
Something like CM7 will be much quicker and efficient with tons of extra improvements, but look very similar.

S-Off G2 Flashed with pre-rooted 2.3 ROM, now can't overclock :(

I just flashed my G2 with this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211143
I'm rooted S-Off, and I just came from bone stock factory 2.2.
I overclocked my phone using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813681
And all worked fine until I flashed the 2.3 ROM.
I adb pushed both .ko files to test them out, and I keep getting this error in my terminal emulator: "insmod: init_module '/data/local/vision_oc.ko' failed (Exec format error)" I'm running the command as su, obviously. I don't see why flashing a new ROM would effect my ability to overclock without replacing the stock kernels...

You're trying to put a kernel on there made for the 2.2 ROM.
You're running a 2.3 ROM. Right now there are no custom kernels to overclock that ROM that don't also break other things on the phone.
If you want 2.3.4+ and overclocking, look into one of the other custom ROMs made from AOSP (like CM7) that come with custom overclockable kernels from the start, or have overclockable kernels available for them.

So is CM7 stable for the G2? Meaning that everything works (WiFi, GPS, video playback, etc.)?
Because right now this bone stock 2.3 ROM I'm running is seamless, I'm not really a tinkerer, I just want things to work.

CM7 is extremely stable. Its been in a stable state for a long long long time. And has more features than stock with better performance and battery use. I flash nightlies and its more stable than some ROMs out there.
Just make a nandroid backup of your current ROM. You can always go back...

What about g-lite?

+1 for glite. Pretty much stock with an Oc daemon. I love the awesome battery life as well

yea I've been meaning to try it got the stock prerooted now, just have to get tired of it lol.

you can use setcpu and set 8X55 can use 1ghz

You can also use cm7 with the stock kernel and OC your phone to 1ghz easily.
Cm7 is very stable btw - ive found nothing which is not working.

SetCPU help

Just loaded rooted stock 3.2 and would like to overclock. I'm having problems trying to use SetCPU though. How do I raise the clock? I don't get a menu option on the notification bar.

If you're rooted with stock 3.2, you will need to flash a kernel that allows overclocking at different frequencies and voltages. All the cpu apps do not physically do the overclock, they only control it.

Oh, that's a shame. Custom roms always seem to have a bug or two that spoil the whole experience
I guess I was just confused because I have a DROIDX that is stock rooted and can be overclocked.
EDIT: Nevermind, noob in training here; confusing ROM and kernel. Will go flash Thors kernel now.

[Q] Changing the kernel on my motorola milestone x- help please

Hey folks. Being the noob I am, I posted on here a few days ago asking how to go about rooting my phone. Well, thanks to some friendly advice (and DoomLord's easy rooting toolkit) I have been able to clear that hurdle. Now that my phone is rooted, I would really like to be able to take advantage of all that has to offer (overclocking, underclocking, better battery life, etc.). From what I've read on the interweb, I need to flash a custom kernel to do that. Before I jump into this task, I have a few questions:
1) Do I need to flash a custom rom to use a custom kernel?
2) I am on a small, regional cdma carrier. Would changing my kernel affect my baseband, causing me to lose data coverage, or even lose cell service entirely?
3) will doing these things cause me to lose all my apps?

Custom kernel are not available to flash, being that the boooader is locked; however, the stock kernel supports overclocking, undervolting, etc. so you need only download an overclocking app.

So just for the safety's sake, the stock kernel:
2.6.32.9-geadffa3
[email protected]#1
Will work with an app like setCPU for over/underclocking, undervolting, etc?
Also, could you tell me some good clocking settings for the droid/milestone x?

The stock kernel allows you to overclock using those apps. However, I think there have been some issues trying to overclock the X if you are running an ICS custom rom. I think I read that QuickClock was working, but I'm not positive.
As for OC settings, each phone will act a little differently. You just have to test them out and watch to make sure your phone continues to be stable. You can start out testing at 1080 or 1100 and take it from there.

Should i modify it?

Hi, i'm a little bit scared about modifying it. Is there a real big difference in performance between the stock rom and a custom with a kernel at stock frequencies? And i've seen a lot of methods about unlocking/rooting it, but i am scared if i brick it... Is there a 100% safe method to unlock and root it? And i've heard about a problem with the buggy stock recovery, will i have this problem if i flash cwm?
Sorry for the huge number of questions and for my bad english

Personally I found that there is not a great deal of difference between stock ROM and many of the custom ROMs out there. For me it is more to do with having the freedom to get tore into the tablet.
There is never a 100% guarantee that yo won't mess up when rooting and installing custom software, however the vast majority of users on here have managed to do it safely with the tools available.
If you are going down the path of rooting and customs, may I suggest you give the team EOS ROM a try coupled with Franco kernel. They work together like a dream. Also paranoid android ROM for something different . Though I found it to be a little slow for my liking.
Finally clemsyns elite kernel if you want crazy performance, but it does eat the battery

Rooting is quite painless and reasonably safe if you follow the directions closely. The one click rooting methods, elsewhere in this forum...work well.
Myself, I prefer the stock rom. The custom roms might offer better performance, but can be buggy at times. although. I do switch back and forth to try them out. Remember, these roms
are all works in progress, so do not be surprised if something does not work the way you think
it should.

Thanks for the answers. I'm thinking about only rooting it. Will i receive the ota for a new update?

As long as you keep the stock recovery you can keep doing ota updates

In my experience, OTA never worked to well.. but there are ways around it, for example... backing up your apps, then load a fresh updated factory image. then just restore your apps..
Titanium backup is one such app, but there are others .

So far no matter what I try I cant brick it oh I can get it stuck but theres always a way to fix it. And like some others here I have tried I believe every ROM out there. Not one really stands out "different" for ME then any other. Nexus root toolkit is by far the easiest to use for me. If your into battery life so far Stock wins hands down.

Unlocking and rooting the Nexus is really simple and pretty much foolproof. I'll admit there isn't that much of a difference between stock and custom ROMs because the N7 with JB is already a beast. I just like custom ROMs because you have the ability to make it faster if you want to (I have my CPU over clocked by 500 MHz and my GPU over clocked by 300 MHz thanks to clemsyn's elite kernel) the only reasons why I wanted to put a custom ROM on this was because I missed the 3 in 1 shutdown menu and the ability to remove the notification shae toggles, other than that I don't mess with much because JB is already buttery smooth. Gone are the days when you have to root, OC and install custom ROMs just to get good performance out of your device like I had to do with the OG droid.

I would definitely at least root the device for the time being. Aside from some customization options in a few custom ROMs I actually really enjoy stock on my N7... I would also take a look at ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905961 once you have it all ready to go... I found it made an improvement to my Wifi and GPS by a fair bit, no custom rom needed.
