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.

There is "not enough space to install" ROM Manager after the new rom is installed... What do I do?
Tried installing a new 1.2 ghz Rom through the third or fourth option on ROM Manager(Free) coming from a non-overclocked voodoo kernal
EDIT: Have since reverted to my voodoo ROM, though now I cannot communicate with google(syncing, or market) Any help on this? and I have none of my marketplace apps.
EDIT: Have now wiped using the autouninstaller for voodoo and all is well an good in the world. Im gonna revert to a pre voodoo kernal for the time being till 2.2 comes out. Learn from my mistakes ppl. dont use a nonvoodoo kernal on top of a voodoo kernal
I finally rooted my TF to Prime 1.5. Which custom kernel do you use? Are there advantages to CBCS over Netformer or vice versa?
i have used both and to be honest there is little difference between them for how i use it, however i switched back to clemsyns purely of my own choice as battery seemed better for me however as each TF is set up totally different this may not be the case for you.
try them both and see how you get on just remember to clear cache and dalvik before applying new kernel.
Thanks. I couldn't tell much difference, either, but this is my first Android device & first root of anything, so I wanted to check with someone w/experience.
Using Kernel Manager makes flashing a new kernel a breeze (although I did get stuck in a boot loop when I tried to go back to Roach's kernel). It can be set to auto-clear of the cache & Dalvik, too.
Frankly, you all have made rooting so easy that I can't see why everyone shouldn't do it.
No worries the only thing you will have to worry about now is OFD, obsessive flashing disorder. Rooting is a slippery slope lol, always got to try the latest rom or kernel.
I use Clemsys 1.6 at 1.4 Ghz with interactive governor.
No problem of use, no reboots. Stable.

Hey gang.
I'm waiting on my DZ arriving, looks like tomorrow now, and I have tried many roms with my current phone but I always end up going back to sense as I like it. The more I read about the DZ and the different roms, the more I'm thinking that I might not bother with roms and keep the stock.
Battery life is important to me however and the saving grace on my current phone has been setcpu. Obviously I'd need to root the DZ it to use it. I'm not too bothered with overclocking it really, however I do like to underclock it when the screen is off etc.
My question is, I know that you can only overclock on some kernels/roms that support it. But is it the same case with underclocking it? Or should I be able to underclock fine on stock?
Of course u need root. But u can use the stock rom with root than flash it with a kernel that u can under/overclock.

Can you recommend a kernel that will work ok with stock then?
A custom kernel may have different or more underclock stepping choices, but the stock kernel should underclock just fine once you are rooted.
Are DZ's shipping with Gingerbread nowadays? Kernel is dependent on Sense versus AOSP, and also Froyo versus Gingerbread. Godspeed kernel worked fine when I was on the DZ stock Froyo ROM.

Just use Search type in "Kernel" than u get all kernel Threads. I tried many kernels but now im using ILWT Kernel CM7 1.7.0 =)

It hasn't arrived yet, it's advertised as Froyo but we'll find out in the next few days.
As long as the stock kernel underclocks fine, as I said, I don't care about overclocking. If it doesn't work right then I'll get to custom romming it.
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.

Forewarning - I'm new here, so if i put this in the wrong place, my bad.
What I'm looking for is a custom rom and kernel that will allow me to overclock my phone, and undervolt as well. I'm currently running blaze kernel and visix custom rom. I'd like to stay on visix, so any help is appreciated. Phone is a galaxy s5, at&t version.
Thanks in advance!!

Anyone?
There's really not much need to overclock imo but ktweaker probably had everything you want. Its the only kernel that has overclock for touchwiz that is up to date
Well, I flashed the kernel, yet I still cannot overclock or undervolt? Any ideas?

Use the ktweaker app, the settings are there. Look harder
Probably should have been a little more in depth. I can find the info, and I do know how to, ive done it before on a s4. It's not allowing me to overclock, even when the option to do so is checked. Same with the undervolting.
This may not be the place to ask but the G900A is bootloader locked, yes? Where are you finding other kernels to flash? As I understand it, only touchwiz roms can be used with safestrap due to the kernel being touchwiz. I'm looking into porting AOSP functionality to a touchwiz kernel but info is not collected in one place but requires a lot of digging to get a develp environment set up even before diving into code. Thanks for any inight.
