I need a little bit of advice on overclocking using setcpu - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA
i bought the setcpu app on my nexus and tryed to overclock it... as i realised it doesnt really overclock it as it only goes to 1.3ghz which is the max the stock can go lol
i take it to actually overclock the tablet beyond 1.3ghz i need to install a new kernal perhaps a custom kernal?
also whats the best kernal i could install instead of stock?
im looking to overclock it to the most fastest but safest speed i heard 1.8ghz atm also want to here other users thots on which kernal i should try,
also if i ever decide to reutn back to stock does everything as in the kernal and the firmware rom flash back to stock?
thnks in advance

You can't over clock the stock kernel. You need an alternative kernel. I like Motley's kernel but Trinity and Faux kernels are good.

so my best bet is elite kernal by clemsyns,
which file on his thread is the latest and best as in 1.8ghz?

with your thinking, you should go ahead and try clemsyns 2ghz kernel, its posted in the east few pages of the thread
but really, you won't be able to handle 1.8ghz as a daily, its more of a toy to play with. there are much better kernels here to use as a daily, that of from 1.6-1.8ghz too. try them all, find what yo like. when you lose battery like a artery in your neck that's been slashed, you'll realize that 1.8ghz is only for fun.

yeah lol iknow what you mean lol
iv tryed searching for the 2ghz elite kernal but i cant seem to find it within the thread... only mnaged to find 1.8ghz
can someone post it in here for me plz if they could that would be great, i dontknow which page it might be on...iv heard of talk about it but havent seem an actual download for it from clemsyns

[Q] {HELP} Sprint Samsung Epic midNight Rom v3.1 EXT4 CW3

Interested in overclocking my cpu. I have heard of people doing this at 1.2 GHz and still maintain stability and good battery life. Currently installed is Kernel version 2.6.32.9 after granting SetCPU su permission (and checking always allow) I find that the max overclock is at 1 GHz. Obvioulsy this is not a Kernel that can be overclocked. I tried installing some random Kernel I found online using Odin. This however failed during install and "bricked" my phone. I was able to Odin back to stock, re-root, and re-flash this ROM. Does anyone know of a Kernel that will work with this ROM and allow me to overclock? I really like this ROM so far and I want to keep it!
Thanks in advance,
Your best bet may be searching the Epic's wiki page for kernals. The sticky link is located in each of the Epic's forums.

there aren't any kernels right now for froyo because of no source from samsung/sprint
we have to wait till official 2.2 drops
Thanks I appreciate it iSaint! Is it worth flashing a 2.1 ROM and Kernel so that I can overclock or do you think that overclocking is overated and that this midNIGHT 3.1 (which is blazing fast compared to stock) is fast enough!...... I guess will I notice a huge difference after overclocking to 1.2 GHz?

no problem...if you want stability and speed then you cant argue with ACS syndicate 2.1 but i use MidNight which IMO is very fast and i've had zero problems with it so far there isn't really that much of a difference to me on 1.2-1 GHz but test them out and decide what you like 8)
Looks like I'll just stick with midNIGHT 3.1 for awhile. Any tweeks you know of that will improve speed and performance?

the no journaling mod but i think that flashes with the rom(not sure)
and i delete anything i dont use before i flash the zip
open it up system/app just dont delete anything important or necessary things i delete are (swype,browser i replace with dolphin,launcher2,live wallpapers) thats all i do bro
Thanks a lot, I've allready flashed the no journalling mod. But thanks anyway. All in all midNight is blazing fast and I'm very happy with that ROM. Have a good day!

2 cents here.
Personally 2.1 oc'd to 1.3 ghz on acs gave me more speed than midnight 3.1. Rummaging through the phone the advantages of rfs over ext4 are evident. But Playing games and multitasking goes to 2.1 acs @1.3 ghz for me. The phone flies at 1.3. Just try it. you have nothing to lose and you can easily flash back.
Ill definately give that a try. Is that 2.1 include the gps fix?

Fastest rom to overclock with?

Hey,
I see a lot of people using CM7 is this really the best one?
Also till how many mhz I can overclock on that one?
Yes Cm7 IS really great, in fact you can customize almost everything, and I really like that feature...
As for overclocking you can overclock I think to max of 768mhz(if I'm wrong somebody please correct me)...maybe you can a little bit more but I think it is kernel related...
Hope it helps,
Best regards
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Irrespective of which ROM you choose, it is the kernel which allows (or disallows) you from Overclocking. Till date, there are 2 primary kernels which are available - HCDR.Kernel by Jacob and nFinity by arco, and both OC support upto 768MHz. (I think Deep-Knight has recently developed a new kernel for his ROM, which allows OC upto 600MHz)
Because of this, you can overclock your stock ROM also, if you so wish, by simply flashing a custom kernel.

Hi!
Which kernels can I use for original rom, if I want to overclock? HCDR, or Deep, or what? It will make the phone instable, or not?
Thank You!

You can use any. nFinity MC4 offers more features though, like Smartass Governor. It can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995301
Else, you can use HCDR Kernel also, if you wish, and decide for yourself which suits you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
It shouldn't make the phone unstable at all. But, in any case, make a Nandroid Backup beforehand.
Thank You
Well M using hell fire .. Cm7 based ....
Which is stable till 729 Mhz overclock m using max 729 and min 490 (I guess)
Phone is Much faster than before and love playing angry birds
I read all the 2 posts, but Im not sure to change the original slow kernel, for a faster. All have some bugs, battery life, wifi, etc...
I dont know, which could be better for the stock rom, or which could be better than the original.
Anyway, I want to try one of that, but I dont know which.
How can I flash just the kernel? And also back up my programs with titanium, or mybackup?
It clears everything like the rom flashing?
Ok, I made it, its cool, and faster. Thanks for the help.
is the overclocking "app" in standard cm7? Or i must go to market or anything else to download it?

Nor Quadrant neither Antutu does work on extreme versions of gl notecore

please guys i dont know is it normal or not so let me know that why does it always gets stuck on 3d tests while performing any benchmark using any of the overclocked versions gl notecore kernel. I really like that kernel but also do want some overclocking but whenever i try doing benchmark test using the extreme versions it gets stuck on the earth and moon rotation animation-testing screen and on antutu on the screen where battalion army animation is shown.
I have tried v2, v4, v5 v6 and till v8 extreme versions(overclocked) of gl notecore kernel. Tried and tested on rocket rom v7, kindroid v4.2 v4 3 and v5.1.1 also on latest and greatest clean note v4 but everytime it got stuck. It never happened to me on overclocked franco's kernel r5 nor did it ever happened on any cm9 or aokp roms while running anidroid kernel. So guys if you can help me out your help would be really appreciated
Thanks in advance.
I guess it's your device because I have used both benchmarks with gl notecore extreme and everything went all right.
I'm using v8 with criskelo's rom v10
i dont think so

For me it is, just use his rom. No tweaks that will conflict his kernel. Using now his rom and his beta 8.2 at full speed.
Not a single sod ore freez. Antutu 7300, quadrant 5300.
Please if you use a custom rom, delete all init.d. Those are his words. You can find it in system,etc,init.d

By his rom do you mean cleannote v4 as it is the current rom im running. Also i checked for that folder but it is already not present there. Also now i have noticed that on his v8.1ex version i get screen freezes while running quadrant which only way to get rid off is restart the phone. Im loving his kernel guys its extremely smooth but just help me out with this problem as i wanna flaunt its performance through technical data. Lol
Thanks for your support guys.

Well some phones do not like oc and uv. You should do a clean install and do not restore apps and system with tittanium backup.
First test your cleanote without your apps. i use nofrills for to set my cpu. Do not use set cpu because many users experiance problems with that.
Good luck
no results.

Hey mate i have already done as you said. I have not restored any app through titanium back up. Infact i do not have titanium even installed on my note on cleannote v4. There is no set cpu installed too. Btw i tried with no frill but still no luck.
One tiny little request if you can will you post the link of this thread on galvin's kernel thread so that might be able to help me as of right now im veey junior member so according to xda rules i cant.
Thanks for your time buddy.
Hi, as you requested, he did post your thread link over at the NOTECORE kernel thread. However, as I mentioned above, I m facing the same issue and have read the kernel developers answer on this as well. Acc to him, not every phone can support the EX version. Its due to the difference in voltages. My phone cannot handle the EX version as well. However, I m happy to stick with the Standard version. If you're looking for great Quadrant and Antutu scores, just change the governer to pegasusq using SetCPU or any similar app, uncheck Power saving option and then run the test couple of times. I always get around 4400 Quadrant and 7100 Antutu scores.
thanks guys

Thanks to all of you guys for your wonderful support and help throughout. oh so atleast now i know whats the reason for that thanks anyways lifehijack and yeah i hit the thanks button for all of you.
Also many thanks for posting this link on gl notecore kernel thread
So is there anyways we could play around with these voltages and make it work. May be some technical experts here might have the answer to that i hope.
Im using notecore 8.1 ex with classic rom v3 and they both run fine have got pretty good scores too.

All you need is the setCPU app (search in xda forums,you'll find it) and change the governer from ONDEMAND to pegasusq, that's it.

Yes bro i have done just the same as an alternative to ex version and it gives onsiderable performance and scores but will always have a craving for extreme version. Hope to get some technical help from xda experts to make ex version run on my note just fine.
As has already been mentioned not all phones are equal. your needs more core voltage than what my extreme kernel is configured for. if i increased it you would then complain about heat and battery life getting worse.
Stick with my standard version as that uses stock cpu voltages and frequencies. If you took the time to read the OP and even the last few pages of the thread you would have seen this mentioned.
You can use tegrak to adapt the frequency and the voltage. This way you can set the frequencies that suit best for your phone.

Anyways i dunno why and how or may be you read this post and improved it in your version 9 ex but now your ex v9 works perfectly fine on my note and yes buddy i have read your op around 4 to 5 times and everytime i install your newer version of kernel. And i wanna give you a big thank you for making us soo many wondeful kernels. Your are awesome mate.
I actually cant believe that such a wonderful and big developer came to my thread to help. Once again thanks alot and also a big thanks to androiadicted for posting this link on galvin's thread.

[Q] Overclock Kernel WITH MultiRom

Hello,
I saw that there are kernels for the Nexus 7 making it able to overclock to 2Ghz
I dont really need the 2Ghz but 1.8Ghz is more then enough.
Is there a Kernel that allows CPU to 1.8Ghz and support MultiRom ?
Or is anyone working on it yet?
Pekeltje
as far as i can tell no kernel do over clocking more then 1.7 Ghz and you have to individually read the kernel discription inorder to determine their computability with ur preferred rom.
And please post questions in Q&A section.
I don't think that's possible.

It is possible to overclock to 1.8 GHz but looks like that only works with Android 4.1... 4.2 and up cause bootloops. You should still be able to overclock to about 1.6 GHz. However, even I am using MultiROM. I don't think you will be able to have MultiROM with a kernel which would let you overclock since it makes changes to the kernel for booting more that one system. I want to overclock too. :crying: Anyone help? Maybe manually editing the elite or motley kernel should let you do that.
You can OC to 1.6GHz and still have multirom on a number of kernels including oxydo, M-Kernel, faux etc.
Finally!
