[Q] Which kernels for Nexus 7 3G - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, sorry I couldn't seem to find a similar question.
I have a Nexus 3G 4.2.1 stock rooted and would like to start trying out some kernels and Roms. I can see a sub-forum dedicated to Roms designed for the 3G version, however; there isn't one for 3G kernels. Does this mean all kernels are safe for the 3G Nexus?
And finally, which kernels allow setting a max frequency so I can under clock the nexus? Help greatly appreciated.

i dont know if all kernels work on the nexus 7 and nexus 7 3g, but i do know that trinity kernel works on all variants of the nexus 7.. wifi, 3g, 8gb, 16gb, and 32gb.

Thanks for the quick reply, Simms, I did read some good things about the trinity kernel and have been watching it for some time. Is underclocking possible with it?

yes. i run it underclocked every day(as my daily), at 1150mhz high/51mhz low. its also possible to disable tegra hotplug with it and use how many cores you want(1-4 cores).

[Q] Overclocking

As many of you may have heard, Nexus 7 overclocking became very successfully. I was wondering about the status on overclocking the frequency on the Nexus 10. Is there a good kernel out there now or in the future?
Thanks!

Did you bother to check the dev sections?
There is at least one kernel out that allows overclocking, mine was very stable at 2.0ghz ...
You should have searched around more. But as of right now, the Nexus 10 can get overclocked to 2.1 ghz without much stability issues. The biggest issue is that it thermal throttles so the performance increase isn't that big compared to what it's supposed to be.

I don't understand what CPU bottlenecked means... sry...
Also, I did look around for the kernel guys. I'm just not sure can I flash the kernel over the stock rooted romor do I have to flash both kernel and the AOSP rom.
Plus, I just wanted to know some progress because overclocking hasn't been a big topic for Nexus 10.

P.S DALINGRIN, I REMEMBER YOU FROM THE NOOK COLOR COMMUNITY!!!
FIRST ROM FLASHED WAS MADE BY YOU!
lol
CPU bottleneck just means that CPU is the hardware component that's slowing down the device. But in the Nexus 10, CPU is not the bottleneck (CPU is plenty strong). The Nexus 10 doesn't need any CPU overclocking. It needs memory and GPU overclocking.
You can flash the kernel over stock rom.

Few Questions From New User

Im getting nexus 7 in few days and here are my questions:
1. Which kernel you would recommend?I want best performance to be able play games like modern combat 4,nova 3 @ +30-40fps
2. Should i stay with stock ROM or not?If not what you 'd recommend?
3. Do i must have credit card to get 25$ present from google to buy apps in playstore?Does paypal fits?
4. Can i break my device by installing ,using kernels,roms with high voltages?
Thanks.
P.S. I would like to get over 7000 at quadrant benchmark.

1. Franco Kernel is rock solid and has a good balance of performance/battery life.
2. Up to you, but if you like being able to change things, I'd recommend PARANOIDANDROID. You can change between phablet/tablet UI at will. More customizations are coming as well!
3. Not sure, sorry.
4. This device is almost unbrickable -- just read the instructions of the OP for each thing you do and be very methodical and you should be fine. Remember to READ READ READ!
And read!
Enjoy XDA
I recommend you spend the first 30 days on the stock rom.
Just unlock the boot loader (wipes memory) before anything else, and root it if you like.
If you don't know what stock is like, you won't be able to appreciate any differences in custom roms.
As far as I know, the $25 bonus early adapter program ended back in September roughly.
Thanks for the answers.I think that i will stay with stock ROM.But does Paranoid ROM improves overall performance?Waiting more offers for kernels .

Ehh it's more for customization. SmoothROM has great performance though.
Forgot to mention that i will have Nexus 7 32gb 3G version.Does it matters for ROMs and kernels?

What if i won't use 3G function does that still matter?And what will happen if i will try install ROM or kernel which doesn't support 3g?
3G is important with ROMs only or with kernels too?

The structure is a bit different on tilapia (3G N7) than grouper (WiFi N7). So yes, you should only install ROMs from the 3G forum.

How about kernels?I must install kernels only from 3G forum?And N7 3G is more powerful then simple N7?

About the same power, just a bit different internals due to the cellular antenna. I know some Kernels are for both 3G and WiFi -- they'll be labeled.

Thanks for help.How about elite kernel is it safe to run @ 1.8ghz 650gma for daily use?And will it work for 3G?
Waiting for more kernels suggestions.
P.S. Clicked thanks button for everyone who repplied and tried to help.
Before flashing an overclock kernel try your games with stock, you might find oc is unnecessary. I have yet to find a game that lags and I'm complete stock. In my personal experience across a multitude of android devices custom ROMs don't provide any performance gains over stock, simply added features (most perceived performance gain is pure placebo), though there are some ROMs that decrease performance.
As for kernels, the only area I've ever seen a truly noticeable increase is in benchmarks, games play the same and overall fluidity feels the same.
But if you want rock solid performance with minor added features and big bench scores I'd recommend a combination of rasbean ROM and trinity kernel. That and stock are all I'll run on my g'nex while keeping the 7 stock for now.
Edit: Rasbean doesn't indicate support for 3g version.

Be careful playing with overclocking... That and high voltages can definitely mess up a device.

How can overclocking mess up device?I heard that device only can reboot or something like this,nothing dangerous?

One of the major things that can kill hardware....heat.
Over clocking and over voltage both make the device run hotter.
Too much heat destroys the chips.
Try water cooling...

So what kernel should i use and @ what cpu frequency and @ what gpu frequency to run games as nova 3 ,modern combat 4,asphalt 7 @ +40fps and be safe for hardware?

Best Kernel for 4.2

Hey everyone, I have been on the hunt for the last few days for the best Kernel for my N7, in regards to performance. Earlier today someone turned me onto M-Kernel. I must say, it is very impressive. It has a built in 1.9 GHz overclock, that I was able to set via no-frills. I am running Clean ROM.
This is a multi-purpose post. First off, I wanted to let everyone know about my experience because I had a little trouble figuring out the best combo. The second reason is I would like to know if anyone knows of any other ROM/Kernel combos to get the highest quadrant score possible.
I have a co-worker who has a Galaxy SIII, and we have a friendly rivalry. I would really like to blow his phone away with my Nexus.
Thanks!
Check the link in my sig for my guide to the 'best' kernels. I don't think there is a lot of difference between roms in terms of benchmarks results.

[Q] Overclocking?

Just wondering if it's possible to overclock the CPU or GPU of the Tegra Note 7?
It's obviously a fast device anyway, but just out of interest.
Thanks in advance!
sure you can overclock.

I have installed trickser mod and rooted the device but the maximum allowable frequency is 1.8ghz. How should I allow higher options to be selected?
Thanks again
Edit
Do I need to install a different kernel? If so please could you advise which one to use and if possible a brief instruction of how to install. Thank you!

I don't think development has reached that point yet. As far as I'm aware, there are no custom ROMs or kernels available. I'm personally a little worried that there isn't enough interest in this device to where we'll ever see those things, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a beautiful CM11/Shield hybrid ROM brought to our beloved tabs!
That's why I was confused as cars10k has been overclocking I think.
Maybe it's something from the Shield forum ?

Kernel/ROM etc.... features that we need

this thread is meant for everyone thats making a kernel or ROM so you know what features that everyone wants
The things we need
ROOT duh
ALL-F2FS FS support
NTFS FS support
CPU Governors
GPU Governors
GPU overclocking
CPU overclocking
RAM overclocking if we can
Dual boot ROM/Kernels and 64bit Ubuntu
any more ideas?

PIE control
Most important one.. Stability. Needs to be stable, and have a few minor tweaks, it all depends on how the stock kernel is though.. HTC Stock kernels tend to be pretty sweet anyway and just need a few features added IMO.
Have been told that the CPU is way under clocked @2.3,GHz and could handle 3.00ghz easy! Note that this is a rumour, but if true wow!
Really looking forward to it now!
Um everything you listed is stuff that is the norm for custom kernels. Wonder if well see Franco or faux or flar here...im still really on the fence.

At the price probably only if the device is donated. I'm sure the size is off putting for them.
USB-OTG and USB-Audio support would be stellar (if not included as standard)
:good:
I would love to see the GPU and CPU overclocking as well as over/under volt for both for maximum tuning capability. The other things I would like to see though are RAM and bus overclocking access since with so many GPU cores if we get to overclocking we may need some more in those areas too so we can take full advantage of the higher core MHz
