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.

I've always used which ever Kernel come shipped with the ROM, until FroydVillain 1.5.0 gave the option to download the kernel separately.
I have since learnt that you can pretty much choose any kernel with any ROM as long at its compatible.
What are the rules for this?
How do you know which kernel you can use with which ROM?
Hello everyone!
I have a simple question that I would like to have answered. I'm adept at running custom ROMS on my GTAB, but I've never really messed with kernel stuff before.
There isn't exactly a 'topic' that deals with this, and pershoots website doesn't have that much detail either.
So I would like to know what kernel would be the best for me to run.
I've got VEGAn-Tab GingerEdition running and I just installed pershoots 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod and it should be the ginger edition
Is this the right kernel or should I be running another?
Thanks
There are basically two kernels that are being actively supported on XDA, pershoot's and clemsyn's (clemsyn has several kernels out, but they're all just slight variations on the same kernel). If you want to overclock above 1.4GHz and/or adjust the voltage settings, then you should try clemsyn's. If not, then stick with pershoot's. It's what I use. It's what most of the devs on here include with their ROMs. For me, it seems to run better with less work. But try them both out for yourself and see what you like better. That's the only way you can really know if you're running the "right" kernel.
Also, pershoot just updated his kernel to 3.6.32.40, if you want the latest version.
Froyo use clemsyn. Gb use pershoot. Jmho...
Hey Thanks! This stuff gets quite confusing.
Another question here. I have installed Roms but how do we install a Kernel? Do we install prior to the Rom?
Thanks in advance
I've tested out every version.
1- froyo -->clemsy
2- ginger --> pershoot
3- flash kernel as you would with any other zip file. Do not use calk wipe all zip.
Hi,
I just flash my S2 to MIUI 1.812, can I upgrade my kernel to speedmod k1-t22 ? Thanks!
You can use any kernel.
Regards.

Just want to tell you, yes, I can install any kernel on any roms, but it may cause some problems, especially like the 2.3.5 rom.
I tested, whatever I apply speedmod k1-t22 or ninphetamine 2.0.5 on MIUI 1.8.12, also got a strange problems: the screen will keep jump back to lock screen within 3-5 seconds. The phone also becomes very heat after applied these kernel. Only the original kernel work fine with MIUI 1.8.12. Do you know what is the issue?
Its true that some kernal may not work to well with some roms.the ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernal will heat up as it is over-volted or something like that.the 2.0.2 kernal is more battery friendly and doesnt heat up as much.chainfire is always a good one too cos they stay close to standard but give you root and cwm too
Hello
I'm new to this...
I was wondering if I can install the SpeedMod Kernel on my SGS2??
Why this Question:
When I rooted my decive with cf-root and odin I have chosen the Kernel with the same "version" my stock kernel had.
Now I'm not sure if I can install any sgs2 kernel (in this case SpeedMod) or if the "version" is important.
I think that all SGS2 Phones should have the same hardware so I sould be able to use any Kernel. Is that right?
What do I have to be aware of, when I choose a new kernel?
Thanks
Ditschi
Yes you can, don't worry about it. Versions don't care much after all.
Thanks a lot thought that. I'll flash he kernel tomorow.
But what im interested in:
When you say the version doesn't matter why are there so many versions of cf-root? Is'nt that a lot of extra work? Why not useing only one kernel?
Cheers
Ditschi
That's for people who want to stay as close as possible to stock.
The developers compile their kernel to work with any Samsung or TouchWiz based rom.
CF Root extracts the kernels from the specific rom, adds in the goodies and presents it to us for use to root the respective rom. So basically what you have is the stock kernel with root added among other things
ah ok...
That makes sense. Thanks a Lot for the help
Hi all,
we used to be able to switch between roms with the same kernal. There are so many roms and kernals I don't know is there a kernal we can use with the latest MiniCm 2.1.7 and stock 2.1?
MiniCM7 need nAa kernel, and we know that nAa is kernel for custom GB rom
for stock 2.1, I just try ZP kernel, and I think kernel for both MiniCM7 and stock is not yet build
Thanks for the info.
Only on rare cases do I need something from the stock ROM and sometimes if things go wrong I might need to go back to that ROM for a moment, but I miss having one kernal for both...it was so easy to switch.
I can't complain though, the dev on the newer roms is just brilliant.
If you try to use ZP kernel with stock 2.1 eclair, you will not be able to use your touch screen. Modules are not same for GB and stock ROM.
