Hey there fellows
My question is simple i have a international version of the SGP5 with the following especification :
Android Version: FROYO 2.2.2 (SDK 8)
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Firmware Version: VXKE1
I just recently rooted it using SuperOneClickv2.3.3 and the first thing i wanted to try was overclocking. I installed Tegrak Overclock (Free) from the Play shop and when i tap in "Load overclock module" i give a message box with the following text:
"Your device or kernel is not available. do you want to see available models?"
if tap yes it forward me to the tegrak blog if tap no the message box dissapear but nothing happens.
Reading thread related with overclocking everyone seems to not have this problem and they could just use it..so i'll really apreciate if anyone out there could help to overcome this and help me overclock my Galaxy player 5.0.
P.S: it'll will come in handy if you could recommend me another free application that could do the job in case tegrak don't work for me
I'd bet it's because you're still running froyo.. tegrak has worked fantastically on my gingerbread 5.0 all the way up to 1.5ghz (you have to buy ultimate, though).
OR you can flash a different kernel with OC capabilities and use cpuinfo or system tuner to overclock. Entropy's kernel works great for the 5.0, not sure about international though.
Check out the development subforum.
You'd better not use the lastest version of Tegrak Overclock.The version 0.6.0.4 will be ok
In addition,you should edit the file--biuld.prop,like:
ro.product.model=GT-I9000
It's enough?I just sure it works good on player 4.0
thanks for the suggestions i will try to use the 0.6.0.4 version of tegrak OC and will edit the file..i'm against changing froyo to gingerbread..since i did it in a 5.0 of a friend of mine and the sound quality drop noticiably..as the last method i will try flash it with another kernel.
so once again thanks for the replies

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.
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.
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
Ive got two SGS2 phones one running Omega v8 and the stock kernel and the other running Omega v9 and Siyah Kernel.
My main phone is the stock kernel/ICS v8 and my test phone is the other. While I await the release of the SGS3 ( and if vodaphone stick to their word my free upgrade ) Im messing around to see which is the best balance etc...I will when i get my new phone give the wife one and keep/sell/give the other to my eldest daughter.
What im asking for would be a little advice on peoples choosen method to overclock and underclock their phones. What seems to be the general consencous on the best software SetCPU, Tegra etc with the siyah kernel.....or is there something a little better....Or can i just tweak siyah and get a performance increase.
thanks in advance
U can try cpu control,voltage control and there is extweaks software(only works with siyah kernel) in play store which gives u many customization but be careful. I think lulzactive governer gives u better performance and battery life.
With siyah kernel u can boot in recovery and under kernel specific options select performance profile.
Thank me if I helped U.
Hi guys I know that Siyah kernals allow overclocking of cpu and gpu on the SGS3 but what else does it do.
1)Does it improve battery life, sound of speakers and performance ? How?
2)Also can i install it on an original rom of ICS ?
3)Will i be able to update to Jelly bean through kies after installing this ?
4)After updating to jelly bean will i loose this kernal?
The sites i visited do not provide these information only that this kernal has these features and dual booting etc....
Thanks to everyone who replies or at least takes a look at it..
beware, i was using this kernel as a default
nearly the first thing ive flashed after installing a new rom
took me quite a while to learn that it prevented me from recording FullHD video, it was crashing the camera app everytime
i dropped it and switched to a stock kernel which works best for me right now.
There is a full thread dedicated to this kernel in original android development section!
With ics you can only install below 1.6 version if I'm correct (mentioned in the thread anyway). So no dual boot.
With STweaks app you can change every parameter and so save battery, overclock cpu and gpu, undervolt, enable some audio improvements and so on.
The best is to update to jb, and then install the latest version with dual boot.
If you lose the kernel after a Rom update you just flash again the kernel, 30 seconds work.
Hi,
All is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686 (dev thread) and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709860 (general thread)...
You need good reading, testing, etc... For battery it depends of your use and settings (in the 6th post of the dev thread there are some settings for battery life or for performance for example).
Firt of all read the first 6 posts in the dev thread...
