disclaimer: use common sense as these are test kernels. so if it messes your phone up its your fault not mine.
As stated above these are test kernels. They are alpha status until properly tested. Some of these kernels are weird, you have been warned. btw if its posted i have personally booted the kernel.
Something I found in short testing is the photon seems faster at 1.4 then at 1.45.
Also it takes 1400mv to get 1.45 and only 1300 to get 1.4. I will only post 1.4 as stable due to the voltage difference alone. Also i wont post any gpu oc's as stable because of battery life. So gpu overclocks will only be here
All these test kernels will be full ext4 ready. yes i know it says its ext4 in apps but you actually have to convert the partitions to ext4 to see a real effect, use newest cwm to convert. system data and cache are supported but only system and data are recommended. osh support will come later
This is not the final stage for these kernels, select kernels will be picked and recompiled as final once it shows good results.
dont forget to actually overclock the kernels with some program like setcpu or cm7's build in.

blur-test-1.4-240-350-333-ntfs-zram-test7-hardvfp-mt.zip = a better timed version of the 333 oc posted yesterday should be alot more stable than previous version
blur-test-1.4-240-350-400-ntfs-zram-test7-hardvfp-lt.zip its a low timing version of 400. remember 400= actually equals lpddr2-800.
blur-test-1.4-240-350-400-ntfs-zram-test7-hardvfp-ht.zip high timing version of 400. this one is actually tested and works great
the high timing of 400ht offsets the performance gained with the higher clockspeed. so its faster but not by much. thats why im testing other timing configs. its possible that the 300 low timing might be the fastest or the 400 low timing. i wont know till i test all of them thoroughly. adjustments will be made as needed. wifi might work i compiled but didnt test.

Top secret test run
This is the newest test kernel set. It has no memory oc as that test is still on going and awaiting results. This is not to be compare to the memory kernels, the comparision will be against stable kernels and 1 vs 2. i'll also build softvfp versions to compare hardvfp vs softvfp. yes i know wifi is broke. these are test kernels and while ill still be trying to get wifi working its really not that important on test kernels. test kernels are for testing to see what is to be put in beta kernels which will have wifi.
http://www.holylivingfuck.com/Jokersax11/testkernels/ this is where test kernels will go. this set is the top secret set. good luck and happy testing. also please post something more detailed than it works.
Brand new kernels need testing
if these are functional ill be redoing all of my kernels and updating both threads
Find the newest kernels here
Testing hints
1. give it longer than usual to boot the first time
2. dont set setcpu to max at boot if you havnt tested pushing your phone that fast.
3. it takes testing many setups to find the sweet spot. you are all guinea pigs in the pursuit of ultimate speed.
Edit. I as all of these are stable i am going to move them to the stable thread once i complete a new batch of test kernels
Thank faux for many many things.
Nice!!! Thanks. Downloading now.
Thanks for this! I've downloaded and will try to flash later. Your initial 1.4 kernels, I couldnt run so hopefully I can boot one of these up.

I'm just traded my inc2 for this tbolt and am surprised how much slower it is. I'm rooted on synergy Rom running 1.4ghz max 368 min and live all the other tons o have tried o have lag. I've tried higher clock but I reboot above 1.6. I ran the inc2 at 768mhz max and had no lag on a sense 3.0 and Rom and could max quadrent at 4096 at 1.8 ghz vs right at 2000 at 1.6 ghz for this tbolt what's wrong with my phone?

The best performance I found was running Das BAMF Stripped 1.8, but I'm not running BAMF remix 1.8.6 because I with the new OTA radio I don't get reboots and the performance is good but not quite as good as stripped
Not that Quadrant scores are a good indicator of real-world performance (because they aren't) but after seeing your numbers, I decided to check on CM RC1.2. Take into consideration the same phone will produce different results on different ROMs, setups, tweaks, kernels, etc.
For me,
@1: ~2100-2300
@1.4: ~2800-2950
@1.8: ~3300-3550

It's not your phone. You proly have a bad flash or corrupted rom image. Redownload the latest nightly & reflash. You will proly need to oc to at least 1.4ghz. I'm on Synergy also and I had a little lag at stock speed, but I oc'd and have no lag whatsoever.

Some people love playing with new features as soon as possible. That doesn't really apply unless there are actually new features merged between nightlies.
Also, it's good to have lots of *knowledgeable/useful* testers on nightlies b/c you have a better idea of problems/kinks that still need to be worked out or if your last fix worked.
I do agree (and I've said as far back as I remember nightlies existing for CM) that n00bs should stay off nightlies b/c bugs occasionally do make it in and panic engulfs them.
Edit:
Before someone has a fit...Nightlies for other devices. Not Tbolt. There are no CM nightlies for Tbolt at this time.

Synergy nightlies are mostly minor revisions. A couple of days ago, there was a big update using the new GB base, but usually they are small updates like a new hosts file, or small changes to DConfig (a tweaking tool), or an updated WiFi module, etc. Nothing earth-shattering, but it feeds a flash addiction

I agree. Nightlies are for the seasoned user. I understand the purpose concerning CM; the need to toss out as many test build as possible to fix the quirks because they're building from the ground up. And usually nightly releases precede a RC or final release. I never saw anyone building beta builds, test builds, and release candidates for sense ROMs when I was on the dInc. It's a weird concept to me since the ROM is largely fully functional. I'm not a fan of the synergy ROM for a number of reasons. It would be the absolute last ROM I'd suggest to a new user, or even a good number of moderately seasoned users.
I just recently rooted my thunderbolt, and I have a few questions about overclocking. I'm not as familiar with the thunderbolt as I am with the moto droid, so I'm not sure what an average speed is to overclock to. On my old droid, I overclocked up to 1.2ghz without any problems. On my thunderbolt, however, when I overclock past 1.267ghz, it freezes and then reboots. I'm not sure if that's normal or if my phone just isn't capable of handling anything more than that, but i feel like most people can get at least to 1.4ghz. Will a different kernel work better with my phone? And what are all of you overclocked to?
edit: forgot to mention i'm running synergy rom in case that makes a difference
Which kernel are you running? The stock synergy one? I don't know if it will make a difference changing them or not, but it could be a voltage problem with that specific kernel and your phone. I think all well at least I thought all Tbolts could handle 1.4ghz.
I personally don't have a problem even if I'm overclocked to 1.92 and extremely undervolted.
Yes, I'm running the kernel that came with synergy rom. So you think if I change the kernel it should work better? Is there a specific one you recommend?
I can't say for sure it will make a difference but it's worth a shot. I really like Imoseyon's kernels.
I've run that kernel. Ziggy tends to be pretty conservative regarding his voltages. You've got several options with a Ziggy kernel. You can write a script to change them. He explains how at ziggy471.com. You can use ScriptFusion, though I'd suggest using the terminal install as the app had some issues when I used it. Or, You could switch up to Imoseyon or dreamkernel, both of which I've found to be a bit more stable at higher clock speeds. 1.41GHz should be the least you should be able to over clock, with most able to do 1.6 and some able to pull off 1.8 or 1.9. Synergy and Ziggy kernels are NOT for the novice. Ziggy kernels aren't really meant to be toyed with my amateurs that aren't comfortable with ADB and basic script writing. ScriptFusion does work well on it though. Some ideas for voltage settings to get you to 1.6GHz: 1.024 should be somewhere around 1050 to 1100, 1.22 around 1150, 1.4 around 1275, 1.6 around 1375. I run my 1.6 at 1400 for stability, but some may be stable as low as 1325 at that speed. It's trial and error. How to test, using the ziggy kernel? Very easy. Open the terminal and enter "echo "xxxxxxx yyyy" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels" where xxxxxxx represents the clock setting and yyyy represents the voltage setting you wish to apply to the clock setting. Omit the quotes. This is useful if the setting is unstable. If it locks up, the phone will restart using original settings. Definitely check Ziggy's site if you're interested in learning how to work with his kernels the right way.
Thanks for taking the time to explain all that. I really don't want to mess around with any scripts, as i'm really not an expert with this stuff. I think I'm going to flash a new kernel and see if it helps. I was thinking of using dreamkernel, but there are three different files and I'm not sure which one to pick...?

Those are merely different revisions of the same kernel. Use the newest one, 2.2.6,... that is, if your synergy build isn't on the newer gingerbread base. If it is, you're stuck with Ziggy's unless a working front facing camera and WiFi are features you couldn't care less about. On the newer gingerbread builds, Imoseyon's have proven faster than dreamkernel. Can't tell you why. From what I've seen of the latest Ziggy's, it simply cannot be clocked fast enough to keep up with Imoseyon or dreamkernel. Can't tell you much about the jdlfg. I thought that was an AOSP kernel. Never used it in any case.

So if I'm on a newer gingerbread build I can't flash any other kernel? How do I know if I'm on a newer gingerbread build? I just flashed synergy rom I believe on July 20th or so, so I guess I am running the newer build.
If I do run lean kernel, my options are GB SENSE DOWNLOADS:
1) lean test, 1) 184Mhz test, 3) Stock kernel, 4) USBfix, 5) 2.5.3test7 kernel, 6) dreamKernel
Which of these would I want? Stock?
Also, it says the GB sense kernel is a test version and has bugs. Should I worry about that?

1 through 5 are all good. Dreamkernel is a bit different, but not bad. I'm using the test to write this on, so its quick and solid. If the nightly is that new, its probably the new base so using one of these will likely mess up your front facing camera and WiFi. Before you flash one of these, try Twistedumbrella's scriptfusion on that Ziggy kernel. That might be the best way to go at this point. If you have any question, hit me up.
I went on ziggy471.com, but I'm a little confused about which article to read about writing scripts. Is it this one? http://www.ziggy471.com/2011/04/07/vdd-smartass-and-cpufreq-sysfs-interfaces-and-how-to-use-them/
I'm kind of hesitant to use script fusion, as I don't want to mess anything up, so I was wondering if you could walk me through it? Or at least point me in the right direction on finding instructions? I looked at the page for scriptfusion, but I didn't understand what a lot of the things meant. I really don't know much about this stuff. If you think it will be too difficult for me, I will just accept not overclocking and hope the wifi issues will be fixed on the other kernels soon.
I alternated between leanKernel & dreamKernel on Gingeritis. Too bad imoseyon hasn't updated Sense leanKernel in almost 4 weeks. I guess he's sticking with cm7

SetCPU works with ziggy's kernel. For the record, SetCPU works with speedtweak as long as you instruct speedtweak to ignore max/min freqs
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
SetCPU works just fine for any kernel. The reason you don't want to use SetCPU with ScriptFusion is they both attempt to do the same thing using the same method; create a script that will alter your settings. The disadvantage of SetCPU is that it's an app that takes up resources. Not a whole lot, but it does. ScriptFusion takes up nothing because it executes the script at boot and it's done. ScriptFusion simply makes writing a fairly complex script fast and easy, but the end result is a script that is written to /system/etc/init.d. Ziggy's kernels allow you more options in scripting than ScriptFusion provides for, if you know how to write the script. Stuff like manipulating the behavior of the governors and the like. That link is correct, and he has answered questions regarding that script on the Synergy Development thread at infectedrom.com. I'd like to help more, but I couldn't even write a script for one of his kernels because his settings are subject to change with every kernel revision. You'd have to know the stepping for the the clock and voltages before you could do anything. That's easy enough to get using the "cat" command, but if you don't know much about linux commands, doing the stuff you need to do can be a little daunting. I would suggest using ScriptFusion, and do a nandroid first. Also, download the GuiltyVirdict which will remove all setting if something goes wrong. If you want to try a speed or voltage setting before applying it through speedtweak.sh, follow what's in that guide. You can do it either through the terminal on your phone or through ADB. I've tried all of it and it does work.

That's the right link. If you're reluctant to use scriptfusion, I'm not going to suggest doing a manual script, as that all scriptfusion does in a much easier way. Scripts are the only way to adjust a voltage to make a less than stable clock speed become stable. I get the strong impression virtually ever Tbolt can do 1.41GHz, if not 1.6GHz. Is you're on Gingeritus3D beta5 I'd suggest moving to 6 since Ziggy made noticeable changes to the kernel that improve speed and overclocking. The voltage scale on Ziggy's in beta6 shouldn't require voltage changes to achieve 1.41GHz. ScriptFusion isn't that scary. Give it a try. And if things go real sour, use guilty verdict.
Hello everyone! I am currently on eclipse vs7(great rom nitro!!)and was curious as to which performance scripts are needed. Which scripts are redundant to run together and so forth. There are quite a few and I wanna make sure they don't interfere w each other. I think if we could get some kind of list going, it may help some of us less savvy get the best performance from our phones. Thank you all in advance and especially the devs in these forums!!

I think if we could get some kind of list going, it may help some of us less savvy get the best performance from our phones. Thank you all in advance and especially the devs in these forums!!

I have been running .7 RC1 since it came out. I mixed and matched scripts till i found the ones that seemed to work the best together. Some of them are from Speedy v4 and the rest come included in the eclipse rom. I also modified the final minifrees in the eclipse script to output what I have found to work the best. I have included the actual files in a zip for you to open and view. after booting into eclipse i used root explorer to replace the ones in the init folder with these. let me know if you have any other questions about it.
Thank you..
Thank you very much!! I unzipped and moved to init d folder. Do I need to change permissions or is that all set? Also I kept the sd read ahead, just for giggles. Thanks again. This post has had quite a few views and not many bites lol. I suspect there are many like me, whom have the flashing down. Just don't know the realities of what all this stuff does.
I usually go into bootloader and set the permissions under advanced just to make sure. and then i reboot a couple of times to get it ironed out. these scripts together might have some redundancies but ive been running them for 71 hrs. straight without a reboot and my phone feels like it is still running fresh from a reboot. the only thing that I change manually is the minifrees after boot. they were embedded so deep inside the scripts i didnt want to mess anything up. Here are the minifrees I use which i set at boot with autokiller memory optimizer - 6,12,82,89,97,125. these are the minifrees that zeppelinrox recommends for the droid x2. i used to use the v6 supercharger but i find that when i do it conflicts with the scripts and causes lag on my phone. probably because v6 requires 1.18.4 or lower busybox where eclipse roms come with 1.19 imbedded. enjoy
Any update on how this set of scripts is working out for you? I was also wondering how is your battery life running these scripts?

as far as battery life is concerned I can go an entire day of moderate to heavy use without having to charge my phone once. lag is pretty much non existent for the most part. the maximum battery life I got was a day in a half without having to charge my droid...

All that you need is supercharger and most of 01tweaks. The rest of the scripts dont do anything. Gingerbread already zipaligns apks, the renicing script gives insane values, the minmem script is part of supercharger and the cpu scaling script doesnt work because the kernel ignores the values.

I don't use all the scripts from speedy just some. I know that everything is zipalligned already I just kept the script cause it didn't hurt anything. I don't use the supercharger script or the renice. If you look in the zip that was attached it will show you the actual files I included.

sorry i will do that i was at work and posting from my phone
i just looked. 03cpufreq does anything. change the values then run cputuner and look the kernel doesnt listen. 98tweaks is a worse/conflicting versions of 01tweaks, 75zipalign doesnt do anything and i dont see the point of clearing the dalvik cache every boot since its being caches to speed of the vm
Hmmm well together my phone is faster than separate. I tested them separately extensively. Never noticed any conflicts in real world performance

I found in my tests that no scripts need to be added to version7 eclipse. The two he put in are all u need. Nothing really made it better. A couple scripts actually dropped my gaming.index on smartbench (scheduler change and sysctl I think were culprit) it adequate the gljellyfish drop to 22fps which I also could notice when watching movies it constantly got really pixilated and blurry. So I just left it be eclipse is amazing without any extra tweaks imho.
Sadly tho I am not rooted right now. Im just gonna bite the bullet and see what happens. Maybe. Still haven't completly made my.mind.up on this subject.
Yesterday I decided to delete all scripts. To be honest I think the phone runs better without them. My battery imo last the same and phone runs w no lag. I believe this is due to eclipse v7, which is awesome work nitro!! Im going to run this for awhile and than try it w speedy v4 to see if it makes a difference or not. I am beginning to believe it is a placebo effect, but we'll see. Not trying to discount the hard work that I cannot even fathom, writing these scripts!!! Just being curious....
Which were the original two scripts? Just wondering because I flashed 0vermind's scripts and if they don't work I would like to change them back.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
The scripts in question is speedy version 4 and the scripts included with eclipse. I actually took the advice of the other person who just posted and deleted all the scripts in the init folder. I think he is right the rom runs better without any scripts or so it seems. I'll keep testing and feel it out

Its not that they don't work. Im sure they do what they are supposed to do. Just that they aren't really necessary imho. Some of the things they do CAN help. But its not needed.
I believe eclipse 7 came only with cpufreq and 98tweaks. Tho they are different than the ones with those names included in script flash tweaks.
Go into the eclipse zip you downloaded and press folders /system>etc>init.d to see what was initially included with the eclipse u r running. U can extract(w/ root explorer) and out em into init.d and fix permission and owner and be good to go.(owners are root and permission is rw-r--r--)
I feel like if a script could make eclipse better nitrogen would have include it. The other ones were there in older eclipse but have been removed. And I think that is one reason why newest eclipse runs so buttery smooth and great. Nitrogen is an amazing dev. Trust his work and his tests IMHO
No doubt on nitro being one of the best devs ever. And I do trust him. I just like messing with things... Its in my nature lol. I'm trying to raise money to get him a bionic so he can develop eclipse for my bionic. Trust me after going through soooo many roms on so many phones eclipse is by far one of my absolute favorites.... And nitro just rocks in general
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Yeah its in my nature also.
And I wanna add that I am NOT downplaying these init.d tweaks. I just knowbthat one or two of en made my phone worse. I have a feeling it was scheduler going to noop. Maybe a deadline scheduleer should be tried. I just know that even the way smartbench looked changed when that script wad in. And I know I know benchmarks don't mean.much blah blah blah. But my real life tests confirmed the smartvench results.
I also want to add that I am sure these little bugs and things will be worked out and scripts WILL provide enhancements as long as the devs take note to this type of feedback as a way to improve the scripts. I have faith in ALL devs who push for x2 excellence THANK YOU ALL!!!
+1 to that

Thanks a bunch! This helped a lot. You also provided a moment of clarity... why bother adding in a bunch of other scripts when Nitro, a guy who clearly knows what he is doing, found it ideal to have just these! Not trying to discourage any of you other developers that are hard at work but like they say if it ain't broke don't fix it!
First off let me say, I am not badgering anybody here. But my question is, why "in my experience" do all the modded kernels break webtop.....specifically the webtop statusbar?
I love flashing my phone and trying new things, but it seems that all the kernels break webtop. I have done the modded webtop (debian), and no matter what rom and modded kernel, it just dont work. When I install the stock AT&T kernel, everything works just fine.
Is it just me, or is anyone else having this problem?
FYI, I am running Darkside 2.8, webtopmod, and "stock" at&t kernel, and everything is working great!! Just wondering what is up with webtop and modded kernels?
My webtop run faster with OC =p

I believe faux123 fixed the issue in 0.2.1 of his kernel. Id try it for yourself.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
When I was on Darkside 2.6 I flashed faux's 0.2.1 kernel and 0.1.9 and my webtop was working flawlessly.
Faux is working on it, I tested two kernels for him yesterday....still a no go. But he is aware, and working on it
Mine works wonderfully with Faux's @ 1.4Ghz

Have you tried clicking on the "upper right" icons for web-top panel. They were unresponsive. If they work for you, then you are lucky!! He is currently working on a fix for that problem. His latest "test kernel" fixes web-top panel...but he is still tweaking it.
I highly doubt your web-top panel was working on his 1.45 ghz kernel, when it wasn't working for anyone else. Check his thread, we are very close to a fully functional webtop/working oc kernel.
On the other hand, my question for you is, are you on a stock rom...ext3? I use ext4 roms and webtop2sd always force closes. I;m thinking it's because the rom I use is ext4....can you confirm? Would be greatly appreciated!

I'm on R-9 V5 ROM and Ext4 because all others gave me problems under Webtop2sd for some weird reason.
The top bar was working great until I posted about it yesterday lol.
Yesterday I was testing other Faux and Clemsyn Kernels with different OC speeds trying to fix my wifi tethering and now I notice my top bar disappeared altogether under Webtop! Even when I return to the Kernel I was originally using at 1.4 now the top bar is gone.
Don't know which kernel broke it.
Will be testing some more.
Cheers

Anyone found a fix for this yet? I am using Faux 2.0 (now 2.1, but my last test was with 2.0) stock enhanced and the bar is gone so it's pretty useless. Just bought the lapdock from AT&T for $50 as they clear out stock. Might switch to OC kernel so I dont' have such a laggy webtop, and maybe can install programs so it isn't entirely useless.
Running 6.1 build of ics, no issues at all with stock kernel but was wondering what you guys think of the glitch kernel paired with this rom? Should I make the plunge even though stock is working flawlessly or should I keep stock? I usually don't post questions and figure stuff out for myself but I want the community's opinion on it before I make up my mind. I know its ultimately my decision but any input positive or negative would be appreciated, if you are going to reply please post reasons and not just a yes or no response,
Thanks.

I like glitch alot, but for now i would stick with stock...jmo
Well if it's working great, then don't try to fix something that isnt broken lol it would probably create more problems

I'm running glitch b3 and...I definitely recommend it if you're into tweaking. Live OC makes a pretty big difference in performance to me.
I'd agree with sendan. You're not losing any functionality with glitch, only gaining features and performance.
Also, it's just a kernel, there's no harm in trying it out. If you don't like it, restore a backup or reflash the rom. It's not like you have anything to lose.
I like glitch too. A live oc around 114-116% and 13xx as max clock makes this phone run like a dream.

Installed glitch, ran your settings and threw phone into a constant reboot. Had to flash build 1 and then 6.1 to get it back up and running. My phone doesn't play nice with glitch I guess :-/ lol

Same problem for me too.
It's very touchy, nobody will disagree with that.
and thats why I posted what I did...glitch 13.1 runs great on mtd gb roms, but glitch 14b3 for ICS seems hit or miss on some devices. Im sure it will get better as development continues, until then sotck is probably the best bet for most.

Yeah I understand man. The glitch runs fine on my phone if I don't tweak the CPU at all. Tweak it at all and the phone freaks out like a mf on crack or something lol.

Sorry about that. My phone was running fine at 115% for about 24 and then it also threw a reboot fit like yours had.
I;m not really sure what caused it but I guess it's still a bit temperamental at this point.

Yeah I think 1200mhz is about the most my phone will handle, and that's with 100%oc so maybe if I tweak it to 115 or something I'd have to drop it down a notch. I just don't feel like dealing with a reboot fit right now

I have mine at 107%...tbh it gets ridiculously hot with anything much higher.

You could've just gone into recovery and erased your OC/voltage settings. Assuming you're using the glitch recovery, that is.

Every phone responds differently to OC, *especially* it seems, with the new LiveOC system in v14. I haven't seen any issues reported by people using v14 with completely stock settings, so I wouldn't call the kernel itself unstable, just the utilization of some of the features it includes. I also suspect that a lot of the people that report issues with glitch haven't read and/or taken the time to understand the LiveOC guide that is linked to in the glitch OP.

i agree...guess that i should of been more clear and said that most folks do not know how to properly setup v14 with nstools and can easily cause damage to the device...which is part of the reason i mention to stick with stock(if your not sure wth your doing lol). im currently running ths 6.1 with glitch 14 oc'd @ 1200mhz and undervolted -50 across the board, fiop/lagfree govenor and everything is working great.

Well as of almost 12 hours ago or so, I'm running 105%liveOc 12xx setting, lag free and fiop, and seems to be no issues. I had to send my backup fas in for the ota brick that happened with a lot of peoples eh03 ota. Hopefully they send me a replacement cause we arent due for upgrading till October.
So until it comes back I'm a little hesitant to play with uv. I know the basics, but still don't wanna play the boot loop game

Definitely agree that for most users the stock kernel is probably best, and it isn't really lacking any features the average user will miss. Except I thought I saw something about 6.1 not including voodoo sound? Not sure about others, but that's a must for me. Anyway, I'm personally running 110% liveOC with 1320mhz max with no undervolting and the phone feels really responsive a good part of the time. It's been good so far but I need to stress test it.

I can definitely see being hesitant with the undervolting, and especially with being able to adust ARM and INT voltages. As I understand it, you could certainly end up with a brick if things are pushed too far.
