Overclock stock cm7 kernel - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Need help with set cpu

So I finally got my phone rooted. I want to download the set cpu for root. What would the ideal settings for me be? Im rooted with ryans lag fix, no custom roms or kernel. Thanks guys.

Well if you want to OC then you need a custom kernel... Other then that 200/1000 (W/O Custom Kernel) 200/1200 (W/ Custom Kernel)
And DONT click "Set On Boot"
if you don't care about the battery drain, I cranked mine up to 1000mhz constant or use conservative. powersave is incredibly slow.

Honestly Set CPU is not nessisary because the Galaxy S CPU scales automatically in other words if you need 1ghz it gives you it, but if you need 800mhz it only gives you that etc...That being said if you want to underclock the best speed it 800mhz and if you want to overclock you should go to 1200mhz (1.2ghz). To overclock you will need a custom kernel.

Why don't you want to set it on boot? Does this mean you have to reset when you boot?

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.

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."

[Q] howto overclock

Maybe a dumb question but I can't find help. I hav vegan ginger rc1 and installed clemsons 1.5 overclock kernel. About info shows the right kernel. Installed setcpu and cant get it over 1000mhz.
What am I missing?
I'm using Pershoots 1.4 OC kernel and setCPU allows me to bump up to 1.4...
I was wondering exactly same thing as OP!
I'm not sure about Clemsyn's, but with pershoots you have to set the 'Device Selection' to Custom, not Tegra2.
Then you can scale it up.
When you opened SetCPU and it asked what processor you have, did you select Tegra 2? If so you need to go into the SetCPU settings and select the device again. This time scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a button for custom clocks. Choose it and you should be able to go above the 1Ghz limit.

Unless you have pershoots latest, then you wanna select "Auto" in SetCPU
im running rc1 as well. which overclock am i supposed to download? i downloaded the clemsyn1.5gingerextra and med and using setpcu app. according to setpcu, i chose the custom clock and it won't let me set it past 529MHz... but if i change the device to tegra2 i can get it back to 1GHz... did i do something wrong? TIA

Clemsyn's kernel doesn't work too well with ginger. You need to use Pershoot's. Remember, Froyo use Clemsyn's, Ginger use Pershoot's.

Problems after ELITE OC

i have wet dream 1.4.4 and i flashed with elite 1.4ghz over the current 1.45ghz now the phone freezes alot, reboot loops.. how can i revert that ?
Flash fuax123s 1.45 OC unified kearnel easily be found in the ATRIX 4g development page
Don't forget to thank and gl

thanks does this mean its not compatible or i cant go higher or what?
There are 1.6GHz overclocks out there right now so it isn't an issue of speed, but it may have just been a bad flash or there could be something else with the build you are using and the kernel's problems are un-related.
I wouldn't worry, but just flash a new kernel and give it a go. You can always go back.

The problem is that is wasn't compatible WD is a AT&T build so use faux123 kernels and the elite that you were flashing is for cm7 builds this is a problem btwn AT&T and international for example I own international and to use old WD I had to either flash a unified kernel or use the "Ramfix" b4 it would run on mine but feel free to play around with it maybe try using the elite with the "Ramfix" let me know if that works just keep a backup of the working kernel so you can always go back and you'll be fine gl

Many phones just can't handle that much of an OC. Read the Faux or Clemsyn kernel threads and you will see this. Very few people have been able to run the higher OC kernels because like a PC, all hardware is not the same. If you experience boot loops, freezes, etc., you need to flash a lower clocked kernel.
And yes, make sure you flash one which is compatible.

[Q] speedmod kernel problems

Hi all. I tried flashing speedmod kernel to my sgs2 that is running stock gingerbread rom. I wiped everything and flashed it through Odin. I went into settings/about phone and looked at the kernel version. It says that I have the speedmod kernel but when I try overclocking it the max cpu is 1200 MHz still.
Does speedmod kernel work with the stock rom?
Speedmod kernel doesn't allow overclocking and under volting, try another kernel like siyah's.

Did you really read the description first before you flash the kernel? I think not...

Speed mod kernel the best
Oh ya I thought I saw a post somewhere that said he was running at 1400 MHz with the speedmod kernel but I guess I must have been wrong. Thanks

Didn't want to create another speedmod thread for asking so I'm posting here.
On K3-12, using wanamlite v11.1 rom, when wifi is on, and i reboot, i would not be able to use the touchscreen at all. The pin number lockscreen will be there but i wouldn't be able to key anything. Only way to resolve this is by flashing another kernel.
