Hey guys I was just wondering if you knew of kernels for the Amaze that I could use with ICS. I just want something with the ability to underclock, since stock seems to drain a little for me.
From what I've been reading, HTC has yet to release some drivers or the kernel source code (or something like that. Until that happens, I don't think any kernels will be developed.
By underclock, do you mean lowering the max cpu speed? System Tuner Pro can help with that.

Wifi drivers is whats missing. Been looking foward to faux custom kernel for ics, my bets htc releases them once the official ota comes to our phones

This kernel has been around for the Inc and the Evo. Now I'm bringing it to the N1 and the Desire!!
Great stuff, always nice to have more kernel choices
MOD : Can you post only Nexus One kernel on your post please (more readable)
Had been having some wifi issues this past week using cm7 nightly along with various kernels. Wifi was frequently dropping or just very slow. Spent most of Sunday screwing with my home network which seems stable now. I think comcast must have been doing something. however, my phone wifi was still poor. installed this kernel last night and so far phone is performing as it should on wifi. the difference was immediate. not sure whats going on. cant comment on battery life yet, but it's looking very good through this mornings use. Thank you!

I'm glad it's working for you, but that is strange... The only change I make to wifi from CM is undervolting it. And now that I think about it, I may have forgotten to bring that tweak over to the n1 and desire...
Can you summarize how your kernel differs from the others (CM, pershoot, wildmonks, redstar).

Versus the main CM kernel, this has unrestricted overclocking, HAVS, smartass, undervotling, sysfs interface and several other tweaks/improvements. I don't have a N1 and honestly dont know anything about the other kernels out there for it. The kernel started on the Inc and Evo, mostly around MIUI, and I was asked by a few people to bring it over to the N1 and Desire, so I figured I would post it up for everyone.
Hi all,
Been running this since 0800 this morning (its now 1800) no problems at all.
Can't say its faster or better on the battery for sure but its certainly no worse than CM stock.
Whats the smartass govenor? Just the same as on demand as it seems to replace it?
Oh, just one thing, although it has the option (in SetCPU) to go down to 128mhz, I've not seen it go lower than 245mhz which makes me wonder if its clocking down to 128 with the screen off.
Anyone else?

The on demand governor was removed to force the default to smartass (the default is usually set to on demand by the ramdisk and is not affected by setting the default in the kenrel), but the two are not similar. Smartass was built off the interactive governor.
As for the 128Mhz floor - that is something finicky about the smartass governor. It should drop to 128 on any other governor though.
Smartass Governor shows real potential...thanks for this!
what about the wonk?
From what I gather the wonk is due to something in CM7 kernel. I also noticed that it is absent from stock 2.3.3 and also absent from AOSP builds.
Has anyone tried CM7 with this kernel?
thanks for the N1 kernel.
I'll try ASAP.
I will try this kernel now, thanks for posting. New kernel cooks are always welcomed.
After about 18 hrs on this kernel, the results are pleasing.
Extremely stable on the Smartass Governor, which is surprising because I've had friends compile me kernels incorporating this governor, and the end result = unusable.
Battery life seems fantastic so far.
Clocked 128-998. No profiles.
Thank you again for this kernel.
Results on N1
I have been running this kernel for 24hrs at 128/1228 and it's been running great with smartass selected on my AT&T N1. I tried going even higher than 1228 but that causes it to crash immediately (I'm surprised it can even handle 1228.) Linpack is a little low at 23 compared to other kernels that can get up to 40. Quadrant also comes up behind at only 1051.
tried going at the highest setting & it crashed my N1 , BACK TO RESDTAR'S kernel .
Been using the kernel for a few hours, Kernel seems stable but definatly doesnt feel snappy.

Since all this new hype about the phone being rooted has been coming out. Theres on thing I've been concerned with since I've planned on getting the phone. Will we be able to use Setcpu once root is released, and if so can we immediately clock up to 1.5ghz? Is it in the coding already, or is this kernel just officially set at 1.2?
I figured someone might have an answer since they achieved root through the kernel and have poked around in there
We wont know till we all have root. But I highly doubt it, we will most likely need a custom kernel to enable overclocking. and having root doesnt give us kernel source code.
Bah! That's right, I've been so used to having everything available w/ the Evo 4G that I forgot about source code...
Any thoughts on the actual functionality of Setcpu though? Because I know for some phones/kernels Setcpu does not play well (or even at all sometimes) aka early times w/ Tegra 2's (even though their NAND and source coding were completely different)
I'd stay away from SetCPU for the time being, even if a future kernel supports overclocking. Our CPU has two cores with totally independent core clocks, so an app that is only designed to control a single clock wouldn't even know how to deal with our setup.
If I were you I'd try to let go of the old mindset of "faster, faster" and focus on getting rid of bloatware and generally streamlining the OS. This phone is already so fast that overclocking isn't going to accomplish anything except burn the battery faster and maybe return some slightly higher benchmark scores, but you probably won't notice any improvement in speed, because how can you get any faster than "immediate"??

With the flux capacitor they just released of course, dont you read the development forum?
But good point about all the other programs being made for 1 core OCing. We probably wont be able to use anything to overclock with until someone releases a version specifically for this phone.
I prefer to use these programs as a way of undervolting and limiting speed to get better battery life rather than overclocking for more speed.
Well until an optimized ROM and s-off was cracked I just wanted a little more oomph to get sense running a little smoother but I really have no complaints withthe phone. Just wish sense was a little smoother. (Yes twss)

Once we get custom roms without all the bloat I am sure sense will fly

I completely agree, because it ran decently well on the OG evo =)
For the people that maintained root through the update; are you able to use an app like setcpu or something to underclock the newly overclocked kernel?
Why would you want to underclock it?

to improve battery live, but really undervolting would be more useful.
for underclocking, the companion core works much better and is very effecient for standby/basic use senarios.
undervolt won't work until we can flash custom kernels, which need a custom recovery to flash them, which needs an unlocked bootloader.
i don't think apps like setcpu know how to deal with tegra3's 4+1 core setup right now, someone can correct me if i'm wrong
My guess is that the UV/UC battery gains are going to be quite small with the ninja core taking the majority of the strain. There should be some kernel source from nvidia which indicates what the transition is from the different states - maybe the best gain would come from locking out the G processors.
I saw some LP <->G switching info in dmesg with a pre-ICS version, but it seems not to be there any more...
Well the reason I asked was because I'm one of the people who gets nothing but boot loops after the ics update. After trying everything, I was wondering if this could be done, which would narrow the issue down to a kernel problem.

Is there a version of this kernel without the OC? What I'm really interrested in is the BLN support. Most of the other roms that have it have so much other junk in them, they don't interest me. This one seems very slim and to the point, but I have no need to overclock and further drain my battery.
Or in this version, can I simply "not" overclock and it's just an option?

Overclocking is just an option.
Yes, you can set the cpu to do whatever you want. Max and min and decide on what governor you want. Setcpu is what most use I think. I use system tuner pro.
Excellent. Thanks to you both. I'll give it a go.
If you look in development on the end posts of the collective rom thread there is a post with the bln fix you can flash over your stock root to take care of that. I would post it here but my note won't let me upload files here.

Flyer is running Senseless v4 HC 3.2.1 rom (based off Virtuous Rom) and it is fairly smooth but would like to try and speed it up as fast as possible and still remain stable.
Question #1: The rom is packaged with an HTC kernel (assuming stock). Is this capable of being overclocked or do I need a custom kernel such as Leedroid?
Question #2: If/when I get the proper kernel to allow overclocking does anyone want to share their SetCPU settings? Or recommend a different way to overclock?
Because of the age of this device just want to milk every last bit of speed from it until it dies.
A month and no reply. *BUMP*
I am now on oc 1.86/384 smartass v2 leedroid kernel. Going well ve not experience kernel panic and no overheating. Have not tried any higher as this is good enough. Cheers

1) Stock kernel will not allow you to overclock, you need a custom kernel.
2) Every individual device and processor is different. By definition, another person's CPU may be capable of certain overclock speeds, where yours will not (or vice versa). For that reason, another person's SetCPU settings aren't going to do you much good. Just start stepping up the CPU clock a bit at a time, and use the device for a while and see if it functions properly with no errors. Just like overclocking anything else.

Thanks for the reply.
Problem now is it looks as though the rom I have currently is packaged with the a stock HTC kernel. Cannot find a working link to either Leedroid's HC kernel or any other custom kernels.
**EDIT...NM, link is working now. Go figure**
