I think I need more levels of CPU frequency,and if there's no one working on overclocking kernel,I want a try.
Have you tried SetCPU and apps like this?
You don't need a new kernel to do that!
Apps like SetCPU don't have the possibility to overclock, do they?
But I've found out, that there are files including the max frequency of the CPU.
These files are at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq.
So, could we change the cpuinfo_max_freq and the scaling_max_freq files to allow overclocking?

They did this
search for artadat (or so) OC Kernel, it overclocks the kernel until 1.28GHZ

I know that, but can we change the max frequency only with edit the files? I don't want to install a new kernel.

I've tried to edit them but they're read-only.I guess these files are located in zImage,so in order to change the freqency,we must edit the zImage file.

I'm presently working on the answers to another question I asked recently regarding cifs. I got some great technical advice but it seems that I must do some work with the kernel in my vegan ginger tab to understand all the info I received. I was sent a link to Pershoot's kernel page http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ and I went there but I do not understand what I am seeing. I see that there is a numbering system 2.6.32.39 and I can guess that UV means undervolted and that OC means overclocked. The rest ??? Which one works with gingerbread ??? Also, reading the posts in the kernel page on XDA, there seems to be a lot of experimentation going on with voltages and governors, etc to try and squeeze the max out of the g-tab. That's great but I'm not ready to play in that league yet. I want a basic, stable kernel that I can learn to load modules with. I don't want to be worrying about adjusting other things at the moment. How, can I determine which is the correct kernel for my vegan ginger? Actually the one that came with the ROM is working fine (2.6.32.36) but I need to have the zip file to look at the information inside to understand the answers to my original questions about loading cifs module. Any kernel wizards out there that can give me some basics on the labeling system?
My guess would be the one with....(Gingerbread)........after it....
Its not that hard to read.......

"ViewSonic Gtab/Malata Zpad (Gingerbread):
boot-cm_2632.39_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-043011.zip
cm_2632.39 - kernel version (derived from cyanogen mod I presume)
gb - yup gingerbread
oc - overclocked - probably
uv - undervolted - another good guess
xtra - well he explains what is in that
vfp - no clue
fp - also no clue
043011 - yeah the date !!!
now there is all this reference to replacing the boot loader - which, based upon all the furor about the last viewsonic release might be a problem - or not. Do I need a new bootloader or is this just standard with kernels. I've flashed a few and never seen that before - but I was using clemsyn's. Will it mess up my clockworkmod?
Then it also looks like I have to install an app to manage the overclocking. Do I want to overclock? Should I overclock? Hmmm not working on that issue at the moment so I don't want to start a recursive thread in my mind investigating overclocking. Perhaps I shouldn't be using pershoot kernels at all if I want something less experimental. All I wanted really was to have cifs work. Clemsyn? Well cifs is built in but it didn't seem to work well with gingerbread rom. How to tell what works with what rom? Trying not to make a brick here. Anyway - I'm rambling but hopefully someone see the point. How do you find the information you need to make a decision? So far the only way I can see is to post questions like this, receive snarky answers and an occasional helping hand. Well if that's what it takes - bring it on because sooner or later I'm going to find out what I need to know to keep pushing forward with my g-tab.
There is a learning curve to anything, and Linux kernels are no different. First, don't over think it! It is sufficient to get the right kernel for whatever you are running. For us gtab folks that would be gtab, then either froyo or gingerbread as the major version, then either the original 1.1 or the new 1.2 bootloader. Combine all that and you will know which pershoot ron will work for you.
As to the overclocking, by default if you do nothing, the pershoot kernel will slightly underclock, so it will always work on any hardware. You can follow the directions to start pushing the overclock speed and see hot it works for you. Try 1200 for a few days, and if all goes well push it up to 1400
Ha-ha-ha Sorry I'm an INTJ - I ALWAYS overthink. Learning curves are my curse! That said - identifying the kernel makes more sense. I'm not sure I know how to determine what bootloader it is for - I prefer to stick with the old one for now. Is it something obvious that I just haven't seen? For example:
boot-cm_2632.39_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-043011.zip which bootloader???
Then there is the question of "In order for UMS (USB mount) to work on Gingerbread, this must be reverted:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_harmony/commit/f51f9e2a1037b4e3fb1a" What does REVERTED mean?
Good news on the overclocking - I can just leave it alone and it will work and then when I'm ready I can try the overclocking. Is this usually true with kernels that have been undevolted or overclocked that the default settings are more or less normal and you have to actually tweak them to use the OC or UV? I know nothing is carved in stone but would that be "the norm" for most developers?

You have to check out his blog page - it should clearly identify if a kernel is for the old or new boot loader. The vast majority are for the old boot loader, so if it's not mentioned at all, it's for the old one.
You can ignore the USB revert thing - that's not an instruction for you, it's what he did for gingerbread.
The way overclocking is implemented (at least in pershoot's case), you need to change something on your gtab to set the min/max clock. By default, on pershoot's kernel, the max will be just under 1Ghz, so doing nothing you get that. The undervolting is fixed in the kernel, you can't change it. Likewise the "steps" the cpu clock can take from min to max is fixed in the kernel and isn't changeable.
The other kernel (1.5ghz OC) I know nothing about, since I've never used it nor looked into it.
It's even easier than you are still trying to make it
There is only one bootloader for the Gtablet that supports "other" kernels and that is the one that is currently shipping and currently "officially the latest". There is a "newer" bootloader for the 1.2 system based stuff (3991 and above stock images...which were up for a day and then pulled for unknown reason) and there are zero replacement kernels for that bootloader.
If you read it says..
"Malata Zpad [New Bootloader] "

and no where does it mention new or old bootloader and Gtablet together.
So for Gingerbread based Viewsonic Gtablets you would want this one.

if you want to use overclocking, download SetCPU or use the CPU settings in VEGAN-Ginger.
Overclocking-
How-To:
-Install the latest SetCPU (2.11a is current) from the market and/or XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419)
-Select auto
-If using CM7, then you can use the included CPU Settings within CyanogenMod Settings.
Note:
If you were using SetCPU prior, with ‘custom’ and this kernel set, please go to device selection and select auto. Please delete the custom setcpu file on your filesystem:
adb shell rm /data/local/setcpu
Note2:
Be aware, that if you leave it pinned to max, hammering it, it will get warm/warmer then your used to at 1GHZ, pinned.
It is advised not to select any of the 2 governor’s listed (but, at the very least, not performance).
It is advised to keep your min value at 216.

Hey guys just a quick question, i recently flashed the LOL rom with an updated kernel that has the smartass governor, what file / line do i change so that this is the default governor without the use of any app like setCPU?
note. that in the system_available_governors file smartass is listed, and thus can be set by setCPU without problems.... what im trying to do is avoid to have to run setCPU in the background to set smartass on bootup (default is interactive)
i have tried setting the system_governor to smart ass and setting it to read only but it ends up getting changed back to interactive somehow.
i have tried setting in the 05cpuclock file smartass instead of interactive to no avail... so it seems as if during the bootup process something after those scripts are referenced / executed another one is setting the cpu governor... question is where?!??!
Ginger LOL has script for overclocking so don't have to use any apk for overclocking... go to terminal and type su cpuclock and follow instructions on sceen

ya... not using any of the GB roms... they all seem to have their problems... on the 2.2.2 froyo LOL rom.
i actually figured it out. the text editor i was using on my comp was messing with the file encoding so when i did edit the 05cpuclock init.d script it was never able to execute.... so editing the original script in eclipse proved to solved the problem.

Hello all,
I am looking forward to root my mobile. But I am not sure which tutorial to follow as their are many.
Also I have few questions :
1. Will any feature wont work if I root my mobile?
2. Are their any harm in overclocking the mobile?
3. Do I need to follow any other tutorial to over clock it or by rooting it will be overclocked?
4. Will the layout be changed or can be chnaged than the default after rooting?
Thank you for reading

1. Everything should work if u dont delete its parts
2. I dont see any
3. U need amother app to overclock - eg. No-frills.
4. No. U need to change it on ur own.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. So can I change the whole layout? What I mean is that if we use go launcher ex then only home screen and menu changes buy if you access sub menu like settings then default layout will be shown. So can it also be changed by rooting?
Also please link to a tut for rooting which is perfectly working and all features working coz I read somewhere that for Explorer WiFi was not working. Also please link to overclocking app tut that is really good.
Thank you
for rooting try - Super One Click
for oc - SetCpu

Custom rom has nothing to overclocking. U need custom kernel. As I see there is custom kernel in jaggyjags ROM <- and this is what let overlclocking. U can use any rom (even stock) but u need to flash custom kernel.

Also how do we install custom ROM after rooting our mobile. Please let me know in detail or link me to a tutorial as me doing it for the first time.

Rom has nothing to oc, but kernel (which is with this rom i think) can let u overclock, but u cant change it without 3rd party app - eg. No frills (free) or setcpu (paid).
However in this rom u got overclock to 800mhz without using anything.

No. No frills is only the example of program which let u overclock. U dont need to install it if u dont want to change oc more than it is.
If u dont need more than 800mhz (imcluded in rom - i dont know if it is possible to increase it on ur phone) u dont need to install any apps like no frills

Jaggysrom provides what you need to over-clock with something like No-Frills, No-Frills lets you actually over-clock it.

Be careful when you root, rooting is officially irreversible and can cause problems such as the sd card not being recognized.
Rooting has done so many small problems to my phone, if I had another android phone, I would take advantage of the warranty and not root.
I have followed tutorials for my phone, mostly involving a computer, I can declare that my phone is not an independent device anymore. Be aware of these risks. Without the warranty of android, a phone's lifetime can shorten.
Guys I have sgy but going to get the explorer.
To explain the oc process.
No frills is an app that when you open it, it gives you the choices to set the minimum and maximum speeds in all modes of your device. On sgy the settings would be 832 MHz max and 33? On the low end. With a 400 + setting and 600+ setting. Then a choice of governors which is what limits the performance. Like conservative or performance. You choose. Hope that helps. Btw could it be called an upgrade from sgy to htc explorer? But the real question is, is there a way to install cwm recovery without pc and rooting without pc. Please share links and zips for root unroot and cwm. Thank you.

As long as you are rooted you can.
Ok thanks.
I suggest checking out Kernel Auditor. It's a ROOT-based app in the Google Play store. You can see all available options, tunables and the like. These settings can be configured to take place at reboot.
@thedreamix @vampirefo - Here are a few screenshots from Kernel Auditor. I have been working on a custom ROM for the Lenovo Yoga 2 whose Intel innards match those on the 7840.
I would test configs, measure results and ultimately went with a CLI app that ran as a task .
I have been using these settings in conjunction with System Monitor to track CPU cycles and the like. Give some settings changes a whirl, and see if you notice anything.
I'm going to create a separate thread about some kernel tweaks that improve system performance. We can work together to pick the best configs
