after rooting u need to flash custom recovery.
then install any kernel of ur choice.
i recommend francos kernel for performance
and
cavermans v3 for battery with decent performance
these are the steps you have to do to over clock
1) you need to install a custom recovery( very imp and a must). i prefer amonra v1.2 over any thing else. do not ever choose clock work its too complicated and buggy. please do not install Rom manager, its the best tool to brick ur phone.
2) stock rom canot be over clocked, u need a custom rom or oc kernal to overclock. choose a good custom rom( if ur phone model is optimus one p500 i suggest u to go for open optimus or devoid franco)
3) u will require set cpu.apk to set cpu speed
the detailed steps are in the above link...please collect all info about ur phone model and install the correct recovery for it

Hi everybody!
I am very new in playing with ROMs and custom kernels, so I kindly ask your help!
I would like to try the latest fantastic zKernel 2.6.29 (link to thread HERE) on my Stock SE 2.1 ROM but I don't know very well how to perform certain operations. In particular:
1) How to check which xRecovery I have inside my phone?
2) How to move from my actual baseband (52) to the suggested one (67)?
3) Once I install the kernel through xRecovery (just choose ZIP and install right?), how to go back to the stock one in case something wrong happens?
4) Before new kernel installation, do I have to perform some cache cleaning or other similar stuff through xRecovery?
5) Other steps needed/suggested to do?
Many many thanks in advance!! And please remember I'm only a poor newbie!!
Before flashing the custom kernel, I recommend going to:

thanks for this!
Hello all!
I'm a newbie who wants to know some more about ROMs and Kernels.
Here's the thing:
I have the awesome galaxy s2 and I definately want to flash Lite'ning ROM 1.5.
I also read about an easy overclock kernel here (using SetCPU app):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075061
1. Now, what I do not yet understand is: if I flash the necessary OC kernel, will this interfere with the Lite'ning ROM (which has the KF2 kernel)?
2. If so, is there another way to do an easy overclock on the Lite'ning ROM?
I'm looking for CPU speeds of about 1.4 to 1.5 Ghz, just to get that little bit of extra performance.
I also looked at the Tegrak OC, but I don't think I know enough to mess with the voltages... Or how to even do that
3. So, how do ROMs and Kernels work (in short)? Can I flash any Kernel on any ROM?
4. And can you install multiple Kernels working next to eachother? Or will some Kernels interfere with eachother?
I searched the forums for good explanations, but thusfar haven't found any.
Sorry for being a noob! I'm really trying to read up, but it's more difficult than I had expected.
Some Noob-Proof explanation would be much appreciated!
Numbered the questions I have at the moment
Thank you!
I cant answer all your questions but i'll do my best
2) have a look at tekrak overclock and this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14973796&postcount=531 the first part is about undervolting which is great and the last section is about what voltage to overclock your galaxy s2 at
Basically, the voltage is how much energy your battery puts through the system, including gpu and cpu, so if you overclock you need more energy and dont worry about crashing, it just reboots and asks you if you want the previous settings and you say no (write down your previous settings though) and then lower the voltage and try again and so on
3) roms are basically modified versions of android and kernels can be flashed on most roms, im not sure about the official ones
Thats all i know about so i hope it helped you
PM me if you want some help with undervolting or overclocking, i dont tend to overclock as i dont see the point, my phones already so fast
Thank you!
That Naphtaline guide about voltages seems really helpful
I do need the Tegrak Ultimate app to set all the voltages right?
The free one doesn't seem to include that.
I'll have a look into it anyway.
And I recall that I do not need to flash another kernel if I use this Tegrak OC right?
Almost sure I read that somewhere in the Lite'ning ROM thread.
Appreciate the help!
I think the free one includes voltages just no settings for the gpu, but i could be wrong
Not sure about the Tegrak kernel, but no harm in it
No problem, just pm me if anything goes wrong or you have some questions
yeah that Naphtaline guide is just classy keep up the gud work guyz
Hi guys.. I know i'm a little offbeat here.. But can one of you explain or link me to any article which explains the basic of ROM, why change it, what is the use, and stuff.. I'm looking at overclocking my LG Optimus One but have no idea how to do it. Some heads up would be great!!
Thanks
A rom is the system of your device. You may change it if you want a new UI, more speed, customizations, more memory, etc. You can overclock your device by rooting and flashing a custom rom (the kernel allows you to overclock/undervolt). See here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/05/01/custom-roms-for-android-explained-and-why-you-want-them/. For rooting your device and installing a custom rom, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942248. After you do this, make a backup and flash a rom of your choice (for your device).
Hi ,
Please can someone give me correct advice on this :
I would like to install custom kernel for mild oc with standard gingerbread firmware - is this possible ? , if so what would suit ,
thanks in advance
Root it first then install an oc kernel from the android development forum.
If you want speed try out our OmegaRom.
thanks for that - looks like it will do nicely for me , would you recommended odin to flash or heimdall ?
thanks
Hi i just Bought that Nice Phone With the V10a (Android 2.3.4) Software on it
And now i Need some Help.
I Really Like the Speed of the Stock rom and the Look,but i want to Learn something and now i ask for Help to Build a Custom Kernel or just Modify the Stock kernel.
I Never done that before and also dont have any Experience with Programming etc
So just 3 Questions.
1:Is it Possible to use the CM7 Kernel on the Stock Rom
2:Is it Possible to Mod the Stock Kernel Only to Achieve Higher Cpu Clock's?
3:If yes How can i Extract the Kernel from the Stock Rom,and what i have to Change?
Sorry for my Bad English
I think you should start with the first steps:
