Forewarning - I'm new here, so if i put this in the wrong place, my bad.
What I'm looking for is a custom rom and kernel that will allow me to overclock my phone, and undervolt as well. I'm currently running blaze kernel and visix custom rom. I'd like to stay on visix, so any help is appreciated. Phone is a galaxy s5, at&t version.
Thanks in advance!!

Anyone?
There's really not much need to overclock imo but ktweaker probably had everything you want. Its the only kernel that has overclock for touchwiz that is up to date
Well, I flashed the kernel, yet I still cannot overclock or undervolt? Any ideas?

Use the ktweaker app, the settings are there. Look harder
Probably should have been a little more in depth. I can find the info, and I do know how to, ive done it before on a s4. It's not allowing me to overclock, even when the option to do so is checked. Same with the undervolting.
This may not be the place to ask but the G900A is bootloader locked, yes? Where are you finding other kernels to flash? As I understand it, only touchwiz roms can be used with safestrap due to the kernel being touchwiz. I'm looking into porting AOSP functionality to a touchwiz kernel but info is not collected in one place but requires a lot of digging to get a develp environment set up even before diving into code. Thanks for any inight.

Hey gang.
I'm waiting on my DZ arriving, looks like tomorrow now, and I have tried many roms with my current phone but I always end up going back to sense as I like it. The more I read about the DZ and the different roms, the more I'm thinking that I might not bother with roms and keep the stock.
Battery life is important to me however and the saving grace on my current phone has been setcpu. Obviously I'd need to root the DZ it to use it. I'm not too bothered with overclocking it really, however I do like to underclock it when the screen is off etc.
My question is, I know that you can only overclock on some kernels/roms that support it. But is it the same case with underclocking it? Or should I be able to underclock fine on stock?
Of course u need root. But u can use the stock rom with root than flash it with a kernel that u can under/overclock.

Can you recommend a kernel that will work ok with stock then?
A custom kernel may have different or more underclock stepping choices, but the stock kernel should underclock just fine once you are rooted.
Are DZ's shipping with Gingerbread nowadays? Kernel is dependent on Sense versus AOSP, and also Froyo versus Gingerbread. Godspeed kernel worked fine when I was on the DZ stock Froyo ROM.

Just use Search type in "Kernel" than u get all kernel Threads. I tried many kernels but now im using ILWT Kernel CM7 1.7.0 =)

It hasn't arrived yet, it's advertised as Froyo but we'll find out in the next few days.
As long as the stock kernel underclocks fine, as I said, I don't care about overclocking. If it doesn't work right then I'll get to custom romming it.
Just loaded rooted stock 3.2 and would like to overclock. I'm having problems trying to use SetCPU though. How do I raise the clock? I don't get a menu option on the notification bar.
If you're rooted with stock 3.2, you will need to flash a kernel that allows overclocking at different frequencies and voltages. All the cpu apps do not physically do the overclock, they only control it.
Oh, that's a shame. Custom roms always seem to have a bug or two that spoil the whole experience
I guess I was just confused because I have a DROIDX that is stock rooted and can be overclocked.
EDIT: Nevermind, noob in training here; confusing ROM and kernel. Will go flash Thors kernel now.
Hi,
I`m curious how/if undervolting (and overclocking as well) works on Nexus S after the ICS update. First, I must point out that I have a NS with stock rom, never been rooted, bootloader locked with official (now not working) recovery. The reason for this question is that the only reason I see for rooting this device is to undervolt to get more battery life. Btw I`m satisfied with the battery life I can get but why not to try to get some more ...
So, if I would root my device, what do I have to do next? Do I need another kernel? If yes, which are compatible with stock ICS? I want to stay on stock cause thats the reason I went for Google phone, the official updates without the need to flash roms ...
if the only reason to root just to undervolt...maybe there is an app in market can help u..
but if u use custom kernel...u can have more room to tweak it to ur best preference.
u can get custom kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336529&page=91
but still in testing phase
for rooting...here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396959
Hi
Thanks for your reply, but I`m afraid root is always required for undervolting ... But thanks for the kernel link!
Hey folks. Being the noob I am, I posted on here a few days ago asking how to go about rooting my phone. Well, thanks to some friendly advice (and DoomLord's easy rooting toolkit) I have been able to clear that hurdle. Now that my phone is rooted, I would really like to be able to take advantage of all that has to offer (overclocking, underclocking, better battery life, etc.). From what I've read on the interweb, I need to flash a custom kernel to do that. Before I jump into this task, I have a few questions:
1) Do I need to flash a custom rom to use a custom kernel?
2) I am on a small, regional cdma carrier. Would changing my kernel affect my baseband, causing me to lose data coverage, or even lose cell service entirely?
3) will doing these things cause me to lose all my apps?
Custom kernel are not available to flash, being that the boooader is locked; however, the stock kernel supports overclocking, undervolting, etc. so you need only download an overclocking app.

So just for the safety's sake, the stock kernel:
2.6.32.9-geadffa3
[email protected]#1
Will work with an app like setCPU for over/underclocking, undervolting, etc?
Also, could you tell me some good clocking settings for the droid/milestone x?
The stock kernel allows you to overclock using those apps. However, I think there have been some issues trying to overclock the X if you are running an ICS custom rom. I think I read that QuickClock was working, but I'm not positive.
As for OC settings, each phone will act a little differently. You just have to test them out and watch to make sure your phone continues to be stable. You can start out testing at 1080 or 1100 and take it from there.

Hi all! I have my Nexus 4 unlocked, rooted, and running cyanogenmod 10.1, with TWRP as my recovery image.
I recently stumbled upon this custom kernel
https://plus.google.com/107979589566958860409/posts/9VtBVHP67Hg
It helps with the saturation problems with the Nexus 4, and I highly recommend it. I am, however, really trying to squeeze as much battery life as possible out of this device, and I am very interested in flashing the franco kernel, but I don't want to loose my improved screen colors. Is there any way to get the combined features of the franco kernel and this saturation kernel? Also I have heard about the faux kernel that lets you mess with the screen settings (gamma, etc) yourself, and apparently that one lets you overclock, though I'm not interested in overclocking. The franco kernel undervolts your processor, and it makes your processor only use 2 cores on the home screen, which apparently saves alot of battery life and that, to me, makes alot of sense.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was some way I could flash both of these kernels, or combine their features, or maybe there is a kernel with both of these benefits?
Thanks!
P.S. My friend got a nexus 4 and I compared my screen to his, and mine definitely looked significantly better.
Flash fauxes kernel

I've been using franco and am pretty pleased with it so far (only had the phone for 6 days), which I also used to use on my Galaxy Nexus.
The gamma tuning really makes the screen look a whole better too.
kernel risks
Hey Guys, thought I would ask a question related to kernels in this thread rather than start a new thread.
I'm not sure why I'm worried about flashing a kernel but I am. Probably because my phone is so new.
My question.......In reality, flashing a kernel probably presents the same risk as flashing a new rom, correct? I've just read some harrowing threads and do not want to even come close to bricking my device.
Thanks for any input!

In order to flash a kernel, put it on your device, reboot into recovery, wipe your dalvik cache and your cache. Then install the zip and reboot. I did this for the saturation kernel, and just now for the franco kernel ad it worked out great. I don't know what might cause people's devices to brick, but in theory that shoudnt happen.
For the record I installed the franco kernel and bought the franco app. So far it seems good.

I've been flashing ROMs, kernels, etc, for 3 years and have yet to brick a device [knock on wood]. Just take your time and be sure of what you're doing and you should be fine.
