[Q] Flashing a kernal over another kernal? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I have rooted nexus 7 and I flashed motley kernal 1.1.1 with 484gpu. If I want to flash the 520mhz gpu version can I just flash directly over or is there another procedure? Also if I want to flash a different kernal like Francos is it the same procedure? Thanks

Flash kernel and wipe cache

just flash it over what you have now, no need to wipe anything. not dalvik, not cache. they have nothing to do with kernels.

Okay thanks for the fast replies. Is the 520mhz gpu safe or is that pushing it?

The worst thing that can happen in overclocking cpu and/or gpu is system reboot only. It automatically shuts down due to high temperature most of the time. Look and observe for your stable clock that the device can handle without freeze and/or reboot. That's from my personal experience.

true. if its too high a gpu overclock, your device will let you know. if its jittery when scrolling, if you get artifacts on the screen, if it gives you reboots or freezes. the worst thatll happen is it wont boot or just freeze up. in that case just flash another kernel. 520mhz you should be fine. ive ran clemsyns and morfics 700mhz gpu kernels and am still alive to talk about it

Yeah so far no problems on the 520mhz GPU only faster framerates.

[Q] Why my Nexus runs at 1,5 Ghz?

I've installed ParanoidAndroid latest rom + Mkernel a46, and when I checked CPU statistics, my default max speed is set to 1500Mhz. Is that normal? Does this mean that my CPU is already overclocked from stock 1,3 Ghz?

You installed a custom kernel but didn't even read about it?
- Note: Tegra sets the max frequency to 1.5Ghz at boot, make sure to change it manually or have an app set it at boot to avoid battery loss.

Some kernels are bundled with roms.

That is not the case here. OP is using an alpha release of m-kernel, which must be downloaded separately. One needs to at least perform their own due diligence and not go blindly flashing something.

Thanks, I didn't see the advices for kernel, they're indeed in kernel thread. My bad. Fixed already, thanks a lot!

serious problem with camera

hi
i've this problem with some kernels.. suddenly some graphical glitches appear in camera and also output picture
i thought it's because of undervolt.. but even overvolting didn't help.. what's the problem?
Like you said I think it's just certain kernel incompatibilities. I had the same problem with Google Maps on AOKP M2 with Ziddeys kernel.
but there are many kernels with problem to me.. and when i asked in their thread, no one had this issue..
Plz help

Ok, I give it a try. To start it would be good to know what your current setup is. Please post Android version, recovery, rom and kernel.
And in addition are u using an app to tweak the kernel u're using?
tnx dude
this problem exist in most 4.3 rom/kernels.. it's there in all undevolted kernels.. but overvolting won't fix this..
it's weird,, my cpu type is fast.. it should be bear much undervolting..
i've edited twrp recovery.. and using FauxClock

not that easy to say beeing on fast bin chip should allow much undervolting. Obviously you gone to far and getting glitches on camera.
First thing I'd do is clear data and uninstal fauxclock and reflash my current rom (wipe cache and dalvik). Now back on stock kernel (most likely since most roms using stock one) with stock ramdisk etc. I'd try camera and see if it is working without glitches. Then choose the kernel to go and I'd use the related tweaking app (Faux kernel = faux clock, semaphore = semaphore manager and so on) and undervolting step by step checking if camera works in between.
Check your kernel thread you might some posts of how much people undervolted.

if it's because of undervolting, why the problem exists even if i overvolt if?

By overvolting you mean going over the default voltages? I think this could be indeed result in the same issue as undervolting to much. But just a wild guess and I don't know why to overvolt at all.
Applying the default kernel voltages should solve your issue...does it?

Fellow developers I recently flashed faux kernel on my nexus 4 overclocking upto 1.9 GHz.. I also am using faux clock app.. Its good.. But sometimes my phone crashes all of a sudden... I took OTA updates.. Before rooting my phone and also have flashed a factory image (4.4.4) still it's crashing..
Please help

It's because you're overclocking
Umm... Really??

Yeah, really. What the heck do you think it would be? Run it at a lower OC speed and see how it works. Better yet, don't OC at all. The phone runs just fine at 1512MHz.

Ofcourse it will crash, if the N4 could handle 1.94GHz then Google would have given it a 1.94GHz processor. OC is mainaly used for benchmarking mostly, not for daily and normal use. Plus OC will heat up the device badly, considering thermal protection on a mobile phone to be what it is it'll damage your processor too.
Try flashing the factory image anf re-rooting it. Should solve your problem
Okay people thank you for your assistance

[GUIDE] How to get max smoothness from g3

Hello i sperimented everything on my g3 to get max performance and battery life, these are the guide to get max smoothness for g3.
First i use an aosp rom 5.1, then flash 777 kernel and download kernel adiutor and open it, and go to cpu settings and set cpu governor smartmax,then these parameters, then go gpu settings and set others parameters, if you got green screen dont edit cpu boost interval sync threshold.Enjoy best performance and battery life for g3.
update.tdt removed because caused bootloop for some, just tweak the smartmax governor and gpu gov
Could you experiment how to get smoothness and better battery on cloudy rom? [emoji4]
What sort of battery life are you getting? And could you please provide a bit more information on how this improves performance over standard CM/AOSP and stock ROMs? Thanks for your effort!

just flash a custom kernel like chupa chups or rin and see if it has smartmax governor then you can follow the guide

I got a bootloop flashing your TDT tweak zip
How can I solve it without wiping data? Installing the rom over again has no effect, and wiping cache/Dalvik neither. I'm running multirom and I just booted in my other rom (stock based).
Same here... Got bootloops with TDT. I had to reflash everything

for me was working, btw i have removed tdt script just tweak smartmax gov and gpu gov ify ou got green screen on editing cpu boost interval threshold(like me in fusion rom) just dont edit it :good:
Yep i got the green screen as well on blisspop. I applied your other settings though. Will report on the improvements after a few hours of usage.

Overclocking the MXP

So i've meaning to ask, have anyone tried to overclock the MXP? I mean like overclock past thought 1200MHz and so on?
and the overheating issue is a b*tch being to me when i try to overclock it with "Kernel Adiutor",of course I couldn't past through the 1200MHz limitation but hey, it was an interesting experiment.

Its a kernel thing.
There are cheap Chinese phones out there with better specs than this phone. Rather than overclocking & risking to damage it, I would say getting those phones are a good alternative solution.

Try the latest squid kernel. The overclock is just mild to keep everything stable.

The kernel must also support this overclock and the only option you have is squids kernel. 1209Mhz on the little and 1708Mhz on the big cores is the limit at this moment. You cant overclock a stock kernel only using a kernel manager.
