I've read somewhere that it is possible to overclock without the use of a custom ROM. My question is, has anyone done it? if so, how? Thanks!

You would need a custom kernel to overclock.

And just so you know, setcpu requires root privileges. I don't really see a way of staying completely stock, but that's probably the closest option.

You can download Android Overclock BUT you need to be rooted for it to work. I have a custom rom without overclock and use that app.

stock can be the following-
stock with no root access. the original setup as from the factory.
stock with root access. using the rooting process specific to your device to allow the device to look the same but allowing extra functions and other apps requiring root access to run.
Hope this helps with what you're asking.

Just root your tab...there is like 5 tutorials now ...then download a cpu app from the market..the free ones work just as well...no need to pay
no need for a custom kernel....even though you should....and a custom rom....

I have finally rooted my phone but I still can not figure out how to over clock.
I mostly understand setxperia and setcpu. But do I need some type of custom kernel and if so do I need a certain type of ROM as well?
My phone is Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800at
If I have over looked the forum that addresses this I apologize and please point me in the right direction. I just need very specific details on how to do this I am a noob.
Thanks in advance to any help.

You can start with unlock and install stock o/c kernel.like Doomlkernel stock based.Then do recovery.I'm using Doomkernel v11 lower o/c up to 1.6.with that you can use any cpu set to adjust your desire o/c.
Hi all,
I ordered a SGP 4.0 and will receive it today. Should I root it as soon as I receive it? Does 'rooting' make any changes to the stock firmware? Does it change anything else compare to a stock SGP beside that it will have 'root' permission?
I am new to the Android environment as I have never owned one before, but I am an embedded software guy by trade (on a totally different discipline and processor family) so I'm not a stranger in the firmware world and Linux environment.
Later, I like to learn programming/hacking the Android for fun and hope that I will be able to contribute something.
Thanks for any comment.

No, all it does is just give you root access.
Not really, unless you want to use Titanium Backup. Mine is rooted (I think, can't remember lol) and I really don't see any other advantages except for overclock apps or other root-only apps.
Overall, it's not necessary. Just flash a ROM (I prefer CM7 or Klin's Klassic ROM) and a kernel (NOTE: Steve's kernel for the US and INTL 4.0 may cause bootloops if you boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery).
Thanks! I appreciate the replies. So, if I want to root, I just grab the latest version of Superoneclick and have at it?
If I were you I would wait a little longer and get some more information about this, beofre rooting. I rooted my Player using Superuser, just the latest one I could find.

Hey, I'm a huge novice at all of this. I've had my player for a few months and I've heard of tons of people that have rooted their device.
What does it allow you to do? Is it how you get more themes?
I'm very unintelligent on this subject so any clarification would be great...
Will rooting the T-Mo version be the same as international? Do you have to wipe to root?
What do you mean Wipe to Root.
Usually you can just Odin a rooted kernel and get root, or run a batch file/one click to get root.

Meaning like on some phones you have to wipe the phone to gain root, usually cause of the bootloader. I think that is only HTC though. But will rooting the T-Mo version be the same?

Right but are the rooting methods the same?
Rooting will consist of flashing an insecure kernel via Odin and then adding the Su binary of course. You won't have to wipe any data. I get my S3 in about two hours, so we'll know for sure shortly.
They're different phones.. why would the rooting method be the same?

I would think that since the kernel source was released already, it should help devs to find a vulnerability in it.... I really wish I were a kernel expert... or could even compile one without a guide.

Complete noob here. Just received my Note2, and am concerned about the vulnerability issue. I know I can do the quick "1 click" method, but am thinking I might want to just unlock and flash Beans new ROM. I have searched, but haven't found a definitive answer as to whether this ROM patches the vulnerability. If it doesn't, what are my options for fixing it while still using this ROM?
Thank you.
The fix is kernel based, not ROM related, so it should manifest itself on any ROM using an afflicted kernel.

Okay, that is what I thought the answer might be. Which leads to two other questions:
1) After switching to "Beans" ROM, can i then proceed with the "1 click" fix?
2) Looks like Perseus is being used with this ROM, but are there any others that I should consider?
Thanks again!

Thanks for the clarification I also read the kernel had a fix and that was not true.
I flashed the Perseus Kernel thinking it would fix the cpu vulnerability the dev says he has a low level fix in the kernel now. Is this not the case or does it still leave holes ?

For XT910 devices there is currently no way to get root. It is only possible for XT912 devices.
To gain root access during JB update you should have protect root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. That works.

Actually, there is a way, but only if you aren't on the JB bootloader. When I wrote my comment, I thought, you just have to flash again (also with JB bootloader). In the meantime, I learned that it seems to be prevented to switch to a lower version.
