I am on ATT, which doesn't have a custom recovery. Am I able to say download Rom Toolbox and change the kernel settings and underclock the phone and change governor on the stock ROM, or do I need a custom Kernel to do this? Sorry if this is a noob question.

Yes you need a custom kernel

How do I flash a kernal on my Wildfire? I downloaded Jacob's overclockable one.
Thanks.
Same way you flash a rom...

Yeah, put it on sd card, boot to recovery and flash it.
Thats what I did, it installed it or something in less then a second but nothing changed.
Kernel information didn't change ? The kernel name should change to a very long name with jacob inside.
No it didn't change, now I have a CyanogenMod rom, with Jacob's kernal but no the one that you can overclock with.
Did you try oc'ing in SetCPU? The kernel is not overclocked by default because then, some users had problems booting with the pre overclocked kernel.
SetCPU is officially available on the XDA Forums. Just perform a search.

I have SetCPU, can you write down how to flash a kernal step by step for me?
I would really appreciate it.
Really, its the same as flashing a Custom ROM. If you were able to flash one, you should be able to flash this as well. (Restart in Recovery Mode, Install Zip from SDC)
BTW, it should show this under Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Kernel Version - [email protected] #1
This will show the kernel is successfully flashed. What is the maximum you can see in SetCPU? Is it still 528?

That's exactly what is says on the kernal, and yeah the maximum I see is 528.
Hmm.. did you hit autodetect speed under device selection ?

I want to know if I need to install a custom rom or a custom kernel or a combination of both so that I can overclock my phone(1ghz single core). Please help. Why is everybody so silent here, so unwilling to answer a simple question as this. My fourth post of the same question.

Any custom ROM that comes packaged with an included kernel should allow you to overclock. AFAIK the oveclocking capability lies within the kernel (at least with Xperias this is the case) . At the least, a stock ROM with a custom kernel and a CPU/Performance app will give you overclocking options.
My suggestion though is to get a ROM like PAC, that comes with a kernel and the needed app to manage your CPU settings.

That is not fully correct.
Most PAC builds use the stock CM kernel. Our ROM offers performance settings to manage that, but they generally do not allow overclocking.
Some of us have additional builds with performance kernels built in. Not all of us though.
Your best approach would be to install PAC for your device then check your devices XDA thread for a popular performance kernel and flash that afterwords. The performance control will see the new CPU settings and you will then be able to configure it as you need.
DL an oc app, like CPU tuner or whatever..

Yes, you need a kernel with overclock support .
On Gs2 I use PAC and dorimanx kernel
On your phone you need to search for kernels and roms for your model

Hi!
I actually have my i9505 with GPE Rom, but i just read that undervolt let me gain baterry and stops the overheat...
Is actually a ROM(kernel included) with undervolt(5.1.1 to 7.1)?
Thanks!
Yes. Optimized ROMs from the JDCTeam have a custom kernel included that allows you to undervolt.
I think you can flash any custom kernel and download synapse. It can do that.
'm testing a JDCTeam ROM as @Pwnycorn says, maybe i'll try the synapse thing jejeje
thanks!

Those ROMs already have STweaks. Synapse is not needed.

jejeje yes,
I mean in other ROM, no that one...
my mistake
I'm using stable oos build 5.1.2. Is there any need to use a custom kernel? Does it really help if I use a custom kernel.

Help for what? If you have no problems, don't flash things that you don't need.
There's no general recommendation to use a custom kernel without an intention.
Every kernel has its own advantages over the others(and stock) where you must decide/try if you need it. And custom kernels can have side affects also, be prepared to face some...
just went back to miui coming back from custom roms. is it worth installing a custom kernel?
Definitely there is much more to customize like sound control which you cannot with stock kernel and also the cpu frequencies and plenty of other settings to try and see what suits you.I use evira kernel when on stock miui roms.

Thanks for the reply, I was wondering if you can even install a kernel on global miui
I'll try it out later
Depends on what you want
