I have to overclock speeds over my phone I want.
Is only able to custom rom?
uhmmmmm i no understand.....lol
but NO its not the Rom its the kernel that allows OC/UV
So if want OverClock, Kernel Flash on phone that support. must Root
( i tried to type that so you would understand it )
Good luck bruh.
indeed flash a custom kernel you have. (sounds a bit like Yoda..)
In short - if you need to ask, then you shouldn't be doing it. You need to read up otherwise you'll come back in the future, saying you've fried your phone.
Like the others said though, you need a custom kernel that supports overclocking.
I wouldn't bother, it's a fast enough phone without the need to overclock it.
Flash a kernel that you can overclock like for instance Siyah kernel. Don`t overdo it though, 1600 Mhz is more than enough to get good performance and keep good battery life. Read the dev`s thread before you overclock to gather info and xperiences from other users.
To me he sounds like he wants 2 clocks on his phone. You need to add dual clock widget
Hi,
Yes, like said above you need a custom kernel wich allow overclocking... but you also need an app for set your CPU freq as you want... if I remember right even with a custom kernel, the CPU freq is the stock CPU freq after flashing (I mean no kernel with directly a 1.6 Ghz CPU freq, it's to the user to set the CPU freq).
Francisco's kernel has its own application, gokhanmoral's kernel has Extweaks, simone201's kernel has also an app, etc...
Or you can use a "generic" app like SetCpu, System Tuner, CPU Master, No frills, etc, etc...
Before flashing a new kernel read, read and read the dev section and the different method of flash, the different kernel threads...
Is it possible to add a custom kernel to stock without loading a complete custom rom? I actually like the stock setup and hate to tinker when it is working well (running latest Jellybean ota, rooted), but would like to have hotplug governor to save battery life. Or, am I just ignorant?
What does a kernel do when it comes to android phone performance? Is it wise to use stock kernel over custom ones (CM etc)?

The kernel is the most fundamental part of ur OS. It is mainly responsible for communicating with ur phone's hardware e.g processor, camera, etc. Stock kernels often tend to be stable however they do not offer overclocking abilities. Custom kernels on the other hand, allow for overclocking and have scripts to boost performance and even screen color. However, stock kernels often provide better battery life as compared to custom ones. Once u switch from a stock rom to a custom rom, u would most likely be using a custom kernel anyways. Hope that helps
compared to keeping stock samsung rom?
Just being rooted on a stock rom will not give you this ability. You also need a custom kernel and an app to control the settings, such as Kernel Aduitor.
I just downloaded and installed a custom kernel so that it will work with Dolby Atmos. Right now I want to underclock the CPU slightly so that it consumes less power especially since I rarely play demanding games (I still want everything to be fluid smooth though). I hear that I will need a custom kernel for modification like this and I wonder how to do it because I currently have one custom kernel installed. Is it OK or possible for a phone to have several kernels? If not, how do we know if one kernel will work for both Dolby and underclocking feature?
