Overclocking after CWM + ICS ROM? - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

How can I overclock to the 1.2GHz that's supported by this kernel? Changing the governor in ICS's performance area does nothing from what I can see.
Thank you ahead of time.

Whoops, should've said that this is the USA 5.0 and I'm talking about Entropy's CWM.

Entropy's kernel already overclocks your CPU when needed.
But if you want to have more control, get TegraK.
I have mine up to 1.3 Ghz working pretty well.

And try Temp+CPU if you want to see the way your CPU changes in its frequency.
CPU Spy is useful as well.

I'd like to know this as well. Entropy's kernel which is included in the ROM is supposed to support overclocking, which it does for the gingerbread ROMs. All the ICS ROMs I've tried with his kernel included are supposed to support it but it doesn't seem to work.
When I had ICS on mine (5.0 US) it would only go up to the stock 1ghz and tegrak said the device isn't supported. Tegrak supports the device even on the stock kernel so it makes me wonder what happened. I've asked in the ICS thread a few times what happened to the OC support and never got a response.
I flashed back to a gingerbread ROM just because I couldn't get overclocking to work at all.

Overclock works in the latest ics build, Just install setcpu. In the first build doesnt works.

Well that's intriguing. I'll flash it right now.

1.2 overclock works at least, tegrak still doesn't though.. any other programs that'll allow you to go over the 1.2ghz?

Weird, when I tested ICS, TegraK worked for me very well.

Setcpu not letting me overclock?

I rooted my TB via the one click method offered by Captiankrtek and flashed Das Bamf 1.3.1. Then downloaded setcpu, autodetected speeds, tried disabling perflock (which it says was not needed) and then tried overclocking past 1024MHz, but alas, that is my highest setting. So I though maybe I need to flash the kernel. Went to Rom Manager and have tried every kernel under Mr. Bobrowitz's section. In the software information it clearly states the custom kernels but setCPU is still sticking to 1024. I tried uninstalling setCPU and reinstalling but nothing is working. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Unless you have a overclock kernal you won't be able to overclock. Sounds to me you have a stock kernal.

I am running the kernel that is included in the Das BAMF rom. setCPU shows the smartass setting and everything, but 1024 is as high as I can go
You do not have an overclocking kernel. You cannot overclock in this one. That is the problem. Look in development for an OC kernel.

I am a borderline retard I guess. I thought it came with his 1.2 kernel. Also, I tried to flash the 1.9 kernel via CWR last night but I see that link is gone today so maybe that was broken when I tried last night. Anywhootles, I just flashed the 1.2 Kernel by Adrynalyne and it works perfectly. Thanks for not bashing me for my stupidity.

download this...put on your sd.card....and install

great speeds
Bamf 1.3.1 does include his 1.2ghz oc kernel, "--New kernel: 1.2ghz, smartass (heavily tweaked this time) as default governor, GPU+ patch."

Overclock stock cm7 kernel

What does it take to overclock the normal cm7 kernel? The newest nightly kernel is by far the best kernel i have used and it overclocked would make it perfect. Any help is appreciated.
You can't overclock those kernels. Only goes up to 1 ghz. You need fauxs kernels to overclock past 1 ghz.

they were asking how to overclock... an answer saying 'you can't overclock' and then telling them how to overclock might be a little confusing.
@pfoxdizzle download the 1.3 kernel and place it in your internal as you did for CM7 and then install zip and reboot. You should then be overclocked. I have looked around and this is the only link I can find for you

You might also find it helpful to install a CPU app (free) so you can adjust overclock. Hope this helps.

I believe I said you can't overclock those kernels (stock kernel because that's what he wanted to OC) And then told him to use fauxs kernel. You just repeated what I said, but if it makes you sleep at night, fine.

[Q] I have overclock kernel. Do I need to revert back to stock before going to ICS?

I have overclock kernel. Do I need to revert back to stock before going to ICS via Kies?
The only thing I have is this overclock kernel ([OVERCLOCK] [3-7-2012] dagkernel 0.2 CPU/GPU Overclock up to 1.94GHz).
I do not have any Roms installed.

well that kernel is for gingerbread, you're trying to go to ICS so................
anyway, the update may overwrite your current kernal, with the ICS one, not sure
to be safe i would odin back to stock,then do update
I was assuming I would lose the overclock kernel and root, and that is fine. I really don't want to have to wipe everything and start over if I don't have to.

Ok well yes, you will most likely need that
Even tho you on gingerbread kernel I'm pretty sure the official update will wipe over whatever you have anyway. Again to be safe I would odin to stock. But it's most likely not needed to do so

You can Back up on Kies, but when I reverted and flashed I did not lose anything on usb or sd
Although it may delete some of your stuff, it did not for me.
I kept all of my apps, files, wifi settings, bluetooth pairings, and such. The only thing it actually seems to wipe is your homescreen layout. So do not fret too much.
Hope this helped.
to be safe, i just flashed stock kernel back. updated through kies and everything went fine. just lost cwm and root but that's not biggy.
i was also on stock rom + da og's overclock kernel.

[REQUEST] Stock kernel modified just to allow OC/UV (and GPU)

Hello, I would like to know if there is any "almost" stock kernel, only with the necessary changes to allow the user to change, via SetCPU, or STweaks, etc, the voltage and frequency. Even change these values for the GPU too, as we can do with Siyah kernel.
That is, a stock but fully customizable kernel.
Best regards
U can try omega
Get Tegrak Overclock from the market (not sure if you'd need the paid version). It includes a kernel module that allows overclock on stock kernels, you only need to be rooted. Worked perfectly on the SII, and seems to be working on the S3.

+1 afaik.. its the only app that loads the overclocking module alone
Beautiful
This Tegrak is a crack!
Thanks guys!

[Q] Quick question regarding Kernels

Hi, I've just a quick question regarding kernels (in general)
I'm currently running a JB ROM by TheBill, and it's running great. However, coming from my previous phone with a custom rom, I see there aren't many governers available. I would think that a custom kernel would do the trick, but would they work regardless of rom/OS version? Most of the ones I see seem to be for Gingerbread/Froyo, and I'm with Jelly Bean.
I didn't try this so I am not sure, but I think that kernels have their compatibilities with rom. So whatever kernel you are going to flash just read the kernel's details. Then you'll know what roms (cm7,cm9,cm10etc.) it will support. And I hope that you know kernels are phone specific.
Atrix 4G, CM7 based TopSmarts 1.3 rom, Faux123 1ghz kernel.
If I m helpful dont hesitate to thank me.
Don't try to mix and match kernels unless you know what you're doing. It will probably not work as expected, very likely not at all.
There's probably a reason for the lack of governors in some kernels, don't you think?

Well I'm running CM10 and it seems like most of the kernels haven't been developed specifically for 4.1, which is why I brought up the question.

Well, I was wondering if I could get a bit of a power boost with a kernel supporting overclocking, but if I do try and install a kernel that doesn't work out, a Nandroid backup should restore my previous kernel as well?

Yes, Nandroid backup will restore your kernel.
