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

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:

Else, you can use HCDR Kernel also, if you wish, and decide for yourself which suits you:

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?

Motley kernel and Trinity 7 kernel

Hey guys... Just rooted my Nexus 7. I did some research on kernels and found out the two most popular ones are motley kernel and trinity kernel. Can you please explain the differences among the two and which one is better? Thanks a lot..

I've tried the available kernels a few different times and I personally like Faux's kernel most of all. It's nice and smooth like the others but runs quite a bit cooler for me when gaming.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804374

When I first joined this forum I flashed whatever was the most popular. Those are not always the best.
Why don't you flash them all and see which one works the best for you? Some kernels get you a few hundred points more on a benchmark, but no real difference in every-day usage. I am currently making my rounds of the kernels, currently trying Faux's latest ES Beta build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31508178&postcount=421. Rolling with AOKP Official.

Hi,
I tried Faux Kernel, Trinity kernel and Mothley kernel. Wich is better hmm.
- Trinity Kernel : My device is just not as smooth as the stock kernel. Disliked.
- Mothley : Much smoother then Trinity Kernel but still hard to say if it is more then the Stock.
- Faux Kernel : It is not slower then stock. It is as smooth, maybe even more ?

I need a little bit of advice on overclocking using setcpu

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

Kernel for overclocking

I want to try and overclock my Nexus 10 a bit but having trouble finding a good kernel for the job.

My kernel is over lockable to 2.1 so are trinity and ktmanta.
Sent from my nexus 10.

But are there versions available for lollipop?

im wondering the samething.

Note 3 N9005 cant overclock processor

Hi guys, fairly new to modding my phone, have tried a few different roms and kernels over the last week, and have sort of settled on cyanogen CM12.1 lolliop 5.1.1. with the kernel that comes with the rom. I've been seeing a few posts/roms that claim its possible to overclock the processor to 2.7ghz now I've tried to install synapse, and stweaks neither of which seem compatible, so I have kernel adiutor installed, but the max frequency it will offer me is 2,3 ghz, am I missing something? can't seem to find any info, can anyone point me in the right direction please

No apps can overclock if the kernel doesn't support the overclock.
Not all phones can can reach so high overclock.
Get arters kernel for cm12.1. Or use cm12.1 by temasek which supports up to 2.5

Thanks for the advise, I'm going to install arters kernel now and see what happens

I installed the arter kernel, and still no overclocking, also reduced my Antutu bench from 45403 down to 3400ish, so gone back to cm12.1 kernel for now. any ideas why I can't increase mas cpu speed?

Maybe it doesn't support till 2.7GHz. Try different kernel

Look at the kernel settings.

Thanks Kenny, how can I do that? and is it possible to change something in the code to make it overclockable?

Ok. well I have an update, I flashed the kitkat 4.4 liquid smooth rom yesterday, and that allowed me to overclock the cpu but unfortunatly, even overclocked it was slower than Tamasks cm12.1 rom, I also tried the liquid smooth lollipop rom, but again, it didn't allow me to overclock the cpu, it was faster than the kitkat rom, but still not as fast as the cm12.1 so I've gone back to that for now. Its looking like something to do with the lollipop version of android thats stopping the cpu from being overclocked....

Hm strange
