Flash a kernel that supports overclocking.

Use a kernel that supports overclocking, such as Faux kernel, Trinity, Neo and etc. After flashing the kernel, use an app to change the frequencies and such. I use tricksters mod + Trinity kernel. Hope this helped

Ok perfect. Anybody can pass me the right kernel for my rom ?

there is no right kernel, thats for you to decide. every device will react differently, and you will use your device completely differently than anybody else, so only you will have the right answer. try them all

Help! problem with Trinity kernel

My nexus 7 is rebooting after a while using trinity kernel. I'm in stock 4.2.1 and I had random reboots even when no it applying any kind of OC just the kernel's default settings! What can I do to prevent that from happening?
Flash a different kernel.
Not all tablets are created equal. Whereas one will play nice with a particular kernel, the very next one off the assembly line may not.

I flashed motley kernel without any oc and I still get random reboots. Should I go back to stock kernel?

i bet its an app causing it.
Don't know why I initially glanced over you being on 4.2.1. Random reboots are actually a known issue with 4.2.x due to a problem at the OS level. Essentially, anything that uses geolocation can inadvertently trigger a reboot. Apps such as HD Widgets have updated to use a workaround until Google themselves fixes the issue. In the meantime, the only certain way to avoid the reboots is to turn off location services or downgrade to 4.1.2.
Unfortunately, this bug isn't consistently reproducible, but it does affect the entire Nexus line of devices using 4.2 and 4.2.1.

Thanks buddy, with motley kernel I've just had 1 reboot. I'm going to test turning location services off and see what happens. BTW any idea how to oc the GPU in motley kernel? in trickster mod there's no option for it.

is ocing the gpu enabled in motley kernel? it has to be a feature of the kernel to be able to do it, an app cant do it if the kernel doesnt include the mod.

According to the kernels features, it supports GPU oc

the kernel might use a different method than the one the app "knows". for an example, cm color control with trinity kernel on the gnex. both cm and trinity have color control enabled, but since cm uses a different method of color control, you cant use the native cm rom color control option with trinity kernel, nor can you use the trinity kernel toolbox to control color on a cm rom/kernel. as they say, theres more than one way to skin a cat.

honestly i dont, id assume that motley used francos method since thats the most popular way. you should probably ask in the motley thread. but for some reason, i dont think it does, not the 4.2.1 kernel at least. maybe he just didnt update his op to reflext this. ask in the thread anyways

[Req] CM kernel with UV

Hi there,
Im searching for the CM kernel with the ability to undervolt as a kind of add in it?
Is such a kernel available? Can anyone build such a kernel?
Thx
Cm is just stock kernel. Faux made an enhanced stock kernel with undervolt and gamma control http://faux.androidro.ms/mako/mako-jb-enhanced_stock_422_r2.zip

Re,
Yes, maybe, there is a lot of good feedback
But I don't use it so I can't really comment, I just read the thread. You have, like said above an enhanced stock kernel with undervolt and 2 other features, nothing more. And you have the custom kernel with overclock CPU / GPU, you can change vibration, I/O scheduler, TCP congestion, etc...
Read the OP for more informations and give it a try

i dont think they built in the ability to adjust voltage. but, since its open source, anyone can build tbe kernel from cm source and add the ability to change voltages.

Incorrect. CM barely touches the kernel as is, but the MAKO developer (his name escapes me) is even more conservative than that. It is nearly stock.

give it time
cm kernels come with everything there is and are often highly modified by the end of a device's life cycle
if this dev is conservative, ok, then it might take longer or until some new kid takes over.
just don't say cm barely touches kernels

Wrong! Try Harsh. It's flash it and leave it. Very good kernel. Highly recommended. Supports UV and uses mpdecision.

both trinity and franco kernels are also cleaned up so theres no bloating. trinity is one of the least bloated kernels as it doesnt include any of the normal "buzzword" additions, only what is needed, highly optimized, debugging removed, "bull**** free" as it states in its op.

Faux got enhanced stock kernel not moded alot. Just some unlocks and fixes. Maybe try this one. Im already on enhanced and its stable plus you got gamma unlocked.

Both are so far from stock it's not worth answering. Try Harsh kernel.

AOSP Kernel Choices

Which kernels do ppl use for AOSP ROMS? I have obly come across Samsung kernels so far and if I make the jump to AOSP I wanted to make sure I had a selection to choose from!
I'm using and am satisfied with the Chronic Kernel c:

What's wrong with the stock kernel? Stock CM10.2 is very smooth and fast.
Using KT as I wanted to try UC and UV but it's not smoother or anywthing

true, cm kernel is pretty smooth, but with others you have a lot of option like more governor , io scheduler ,oc ,uv ecc
kt not smoother? rofl maybe wrong configuration

[Q] %95 of kernels break my camera.

It seems on pretty much any rom with a custom kernel breaks my camera. When I focus it goes all screwy and crashes. Changing the GPU govenor dosent help. Any ideas how to stop this? Even on JWR with a JWR kernel it happens. Im stuck using stock 4.2.2 with stock kernel because it kills my camera.

wait wait! are you using JWR or JSS on a 4.2.2 rom?
update to 4.3 and when you get it now flash a kernel JWR if you are in stock rom if not and you are using Carbon rom, Rasbeanjelly,Cyanogenmod use JSS (JLS now) if you are on Paranoid , PSX , Purity flash JWR kernel then.
this should be fix your problem on camera!

Lol. I know. I was just saying even if I use a kernel written for specifically JWR on JWR it still bug's. Basically any kernel with any rom other than stock breaks my camera. Im aware about the different kernel and rom types.

sorry man i understood you were on a 4.2.2 rom sorry.

Well, first make sure the kernel is built for your Android version.
Pretty much any kernel is compatible with any ROM. That's the magic of the Nexus series.
