I just rooted my 3Dvo and i want an OC Kernel but I want to keep the stock rom and with all the available roms and other bits for the 3Dvo I am overwhelmed ... any suggestions...
just flash the RCMIX kernel that one is overclocked.
Currently there are two kernels that will work that let you over clock
RCMIX EVO 3D KERNEL(lets you overclock to 2Ghz) and
Silverneedle(lets you overclock to 1.7ghz)
I have tried both with no issues, don't know which is "better". I suggest to try them both and choose the one you think fits you better

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
So I have heard that the original kernel of Froyo (2.6.32.9 if I'm right) was not clockable. Well, the kernel seems to have got an update in the Gingerbread version (2.6.35.10 if I'm correct) and there is no more touch screen bug so it eliminates the need to put a custom touch lag-fixed kernel on it. The question is, can you overclock the stock Gingerbread kernel (2.6.35.10 if I'm correct)?
i dont think so. however, you can give it a try using the "no frills" app from the android market
OC must be supported by "more" provided frequencies in kernel. This isnt the case in ALL
android stock kernels - even on HTC and Samsung there isnt overclocking supported by stock kernels.
To use a OC app you need a kernel with OC capabilities.
That's exactly what I am asking. Is the official Gingerbread original kernel (2.6.35.10) overclockable or not? Froyo one (2.6.32.9) was not I guess.
After my dad has seen me modding my DX like crazy and just looking at the customization that ive been applying, he wants to do the same with his thunderbolt.
My only question is how can i root and change roms on a Thunderbolt? Is it nearly the same as the DX?
it's the same look up alpharev revolutionary run it, it will ask you to DL clockwork then install super user...then start flashing away
Rooted S-OFF
Radio-MR3 (802w)
Ging3R3DTh3oRY 6.2
V6 supercharge script
Extreme undervolted
O.C @ 1.5 ghz gov. Lag free
Ziggys infected kernel
Bolted to the max =)
All you need to know right here.
I have tested several custom roms including LeeDrOiD's , virtuous shooter and flashed all of the different cpu governors (that do not O/C the ROMs) provided.
However all custom roms seem to be noticeably slower than the stock Vodafone Australia one that came on the phone.
Quadrent scores about 1600 on all custom roms that i have tried and about 2100 on the stock Vodafone one - phone is UTMS850 version.
Also most 3D gameloft games are unplayable on the custom roms in 3D mode.
Anyone else having this or have any ideas about what may be causing this?
Thanks
Kris
Quadrant scores are just air, they don't matter anymore. But ive been using custom roms and i can play 3d games with no issues, the problem must be something else? Custom roms for me, feel samey to stock.
But if i compare to cyanogen on my desire, sense roms are slow. Dual core or not.
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM...bring on the AOSP!!!
i know that quadrant scores are iff'ey ... but the roms have also been noticeably slower to use.
... There is no Vodafone stock image for me to create a rom from ... so i have just copied all of the system files from my phone and created my own clockwork flashable zip from that .... 1st time i have done it this way ... will prob end up making my own

Hi there, I just installed CM7 stable and faux123, but now PES2012 dont work
Im sure that faux123 will release a new version soon, but for my surprise there are 3 good unoficial kernel for atrx:
FAUX123: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156040
CLEMSYN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354502
KHOLK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153003
So wich one on its stock clock version 1.0Ghz, are most compatible (runs every game that 2.2.2 did) and most durable (battery life)?

I know what you mean about games stop running on different kernels. I have one game in particular that is very picky and only seems to run on darkside lite 3.1.0 (you could also do the 3.1.2 update) but if I flash any kernel over the top besides the one it comes with such as fauxs the game stops working. So for me i just flash darkside lite with no kernel for picky games. and then have a nandroid backup of cm7 with the faux 1.45 overclock for other stuff I want to do. I literally switch between roms all the time! Depending what I have the need for for the week or day.
Faux123 is the best IMO for stability and battery life.
I'm on an international atrix and I use faux's 1.0 ghz cm7 ext-4 kernel
