hi everyone, i'm not english so sorry if i say something wrong.
i've installed this kernel: CF-Root 3.7 b82
and i know that there's another one kernel (CF-Root 3.7 b83) who supports overclock.
is this the only difference? or it has some defects?
i know that overclock is a dangerous process and that it drains battery faster, but if i stay on the same frequencies (800-806 or 480-480) does it show other bad features?
There's nothing wrong with overclocking (hell you might be the only person who doesn't overclock , that's good)
But it's also okay to stay at stock speeds

I don't consider myself a noob when it comes to flashing ROMs, I've been using xRecovery and Flashtool for some time now.
I have looked around XDA but can't find anything relating to my problem, if I have missed it please tell me and close this thread.
I have unlocked my bootloader using the_lasers SEMC CMD, I've flashed Doomlord's v5 Kernel and before that v4 with overclock but every time I try to overclock my X10 I get a WLOD?
Yes I know there was a warning in Doom's thread that the kernel my not work on all X10's but the warning stated that the device may not boot, no mention of WLOD?
I have tried both SetCPU and CPU Master to overclock but this always happens.
Is it me, am I doing something wrong? Making a noob mistake?
Or is this my X10 and a compatibility issue with Doom's kernel?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for looking, JayJ.
EDIT- Just to add I'm currently using Wolf's TW v5c but have also tried this on Z's CM7 with Doom's kernel.
Had no problems overclocking with the zKernel!

Yes, overclocking can cause WLOD's. Either because your chip-set can't handle high frequencies or too much/not enough voltage is being supplied.
I, having quite a new x10 can handle overclock quite well. However, due to the default voltages that Doom has set in his kernel, my phone does tend to lag at high frequencies. I fixed this by modifying the init.d file that controls the voltages and set the high frequency voltages slightly higher.
What you could try, is download an app called "Incredicontrol" and experiment. Fist set the high frequency (MHz +) voltages up by 0.0025 each. Reboot, overclock a little, test, if it needs more, do it again, but be careful. Increasing the voltage by too much will most likely cook your CPU and render your phone useless. In other words, be gentle. Also try reducing the voltage to see if that works.
If that doesn't work, you most likely have the temperamental chip-set of death which is practically incapable of performing as a phone should.
Hope you can find something that works for you.
Thanks for the great reply, very informative and helpful. Appreciated!
My X10 is quite old now, I've had it pretty much since release. Also I always thought my CPU may have had issues because my CPU regularly maxes out and freezes the phone up, not so much since 2.3 but was a nightmare on1.6 & 2.1.

Yes and no, the overclock itself can't cause wlod as far as I know, but what can cause it:
Fast overheat due to high temperatures, clock too high + voltage too high + high external or high battery temperature.
Defects on the processor.
The thing is, if you are on Doom's kernel and yet you can't overclock it past 1ghz try increasing the voltage a bit up to 25mv or 50mv on each freq at a time until you reach the correct freq/voltage.
At start my phone couldn't handle 1228 now it can using correct voltage settings(1400mv in my case)

Hi all
Can someone quickly tell me if theres any undervolted kernels or ROMS for the Lg optimus one p500?
Thanks
ask manufacturers of cores, they need to know for sure, sorry for my English

That kernel is supposedly undervolted. Haven't tested it though.
Also, I'm pretty sure other kernel devs used to say undervolting on our device wasn't feasible, so use at your own risk
Why my phone does not support OC ?
Non OC kernels and roms work just fine but with OC always bootloop.
Is this hardware based or software based restriction? Anyway to bypass this?
Thanks for help
There is a maximum your phone can overclock to before it begins drawing too much power for it to handle. Maybe you are trying to push it too far?

Or maybe you should try using a kernel that can actually be overclocked...

Well, I take it for granted that you have the right kernel with OC support.
Once you have the right kernel -generally speaking- and one application that manages the OC (or the terminal itself) you've gone half way long, since not any Cpu is the same, even if it should be, according to the manifacturer.
The naked truth is that Cpus are built in order to match the standard clock to which they are set, while some of them can bear a huge overclock. But the matter is that you have got to play with undervolt and overvolt, to get the right tuning.
Most patched kernel support a uv-ov fine tuning and each of us must look for the right tuning for his own device.
Always generally speaking, you can look for "smartreflex technology" to get what it is (it something by Texas Instruments).
So for example, my gio stock clock speed is 787 (actaully runs at 800 though on stock roms). Some people can overclock it 940MHz stable, while some people (like me) can only stably overclock to a mere 844. One tick over to 864 for me, and the whole thing craters and reboots like crazy.
Im using Cyanogen Mod 9 and the kernel does not support Over/Under Volting, only CPU scaling. So if i got a new kernel that supported everything my one does now like init.d, scaling, and all of that good stuff, if i was to overvolt, would my CPU handle a larger overclock? Or is this simply limited by the variations between cpu's when it was built?
Well, I am neither a professional coder nor a CPU manifacturer but, according to my one year experience at Nokia n900 Italia forum, which I think could be referred to any arm cpu, even if the phone runs android, the differences between the same CPU are huge band the only way to get the best id to try a lot.
For example, my n900 CPU standard running at 600 MHz, could not bear extremely undervolted profiles but, at standard voltage, was stable at 1150 MHz...
So, just try though imho undervolting and scaling to save battery life are more appealing than oc itself.

One more thing, because I had missed a part of your post.
IMHO overclocking and overvolting together are the evil itself because of the heat that such thing would cause and the phone is not a pc with its fan to refresh...
Much better oc and undervolting
been using siyah kernel for long however lately on my S3 running the latest CM9 nightly...when loading siyah kernel...everything works fine even the overclock to 1800Mhz however anything above 1600 (ie 1704 or 1800) when i run a quadrant on the first step at 7 out of 8 screeen just goes blank and phone crashes..i have to remove battery and insert again and then when i boot things are fine..wht problem could it be..i checked tht 1.2.6 supports CWM and CM9 ROM's ...apart from benchmarks there is no other issue..everything runs smooth and fine...please help..wht kind of issue coould this be..??is anyone else getin this issue...a software isuue or hardware issue??
I had this on 1800mhZ. I had to upped the voltage on 1800 only (as everythng was undervolted a lot) and itg stopp[ed happening.
Might not work for you. Phone might just not be stable at 1800. Not all will be.
I only clock to 1704 anyway.
i overclocked from the performance settings...is there another way i can overclock like from recovery ..and when i overclock i set the clock speed ...how do i UP the voltage..sorry for a noob question
can you help me with this??plzz i would be very thankful

Hello, I'm have a GT-P7510 running Task's ICS, kernel 3.1.10 (stock one i think, no other kernels have been flashed)
I was playing Mass Effect Infiltrator (yes, we can play it even though Play store says it isnt compatible) and find that it lags like hell at the final boss (runs smoothly before that though). I also install the Mass Effect live wallpaper and find that it kinda laggy. In addition to some minor lags with TW, I decided to OC it. I'm a noob and I think I might wanna find some info about this issue first before frying or bricking my tab.
So, can I OC it with this kernel? If not, what other kernel can I flash? If so, is there a free app to OC? How can I set the specs with that app (for best experience)? I find myself confused when I hear about "undervoltage" somewhere. Can it help me save my battery? The battery in sleep mode is kinda good though, 0-1% loss when left overnight.
And final question, does OC-ing eat up my battery???
Can you OC with what kernel? You didn't mention the kernel you flashed to overclock.
Clock speed can be changed with Antutu CPU Master.
Overclocking will "eat" your battery if you go high. 1200 or 1400 Mhz should be fine.
I didn't flash any kernel. The 3.1.10 kernel came with the rom.

You have to flash a custom kernel to overclock. Check the development section.
from what i read, there are yoda and A1, which one is better, and more stable? oh and do you know what keyboard out there is best? SwiftKey is good but auto correct is so damn annoying.
