Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong section, I just posted here because it happens to be on my SGS2.
Im trying to overclock my phone but i've run into a problem.
I'm currently running JellyBam 3.0 on my SGS2 (rooted ofc) and SetCPU says my kernel is Linux version 3.0.15-CM-gf76e4eb
I've downloaded Tegrak Overclock for my phone and tried to overclock it and I first tried to "Load overclock module", where it came up with an error Failed to run insmod! <0x7f050008> err1 code=2
After researching it appears that my kernel is not compatable with overclocking or some sort of thing. Can I just flash any kernel onto my phone? Without affecting my JellyBam Rom. If so could you please suggest a kernel or how to go about finding a suitable one.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post,
hoping for help.
I don't think Overclocking is reccomended for our S2. It won't make the perofromance of the phone any better since the S2 is very solid and with dual core chip it cannot be better than it is, but however if for some reason you need that you might do it, I don't know which kernel allows you to do that though. Sorry.
Why don't you ask in the Jellybam-thread? I thought there where several kernels that work with Jellybam, but I haven't used the rom for a while.

use siyah kernel with ex-tweaks app. But its not recommended to OC. It will only drain your battery
overclocking will kill your phone. dont do it. Its not like a computer you can not give it extra cooling.. It will damage the phone and damage the battery with the extra heat. What a faster phone try a custom rom. Remove apps you dont use and removed auto task killers they slow your phone down.
Thanks for all your replies. I realize my phone is already very powerful but i didn't want to overclock it for desktop use or normal usage but rather because i read everywhere that my phone lags on the games i was downloading such as bat man and modern combat4. Thought i could improve the performance during that.
But i thinki will just rather not and deal witha little lag. I don't exactly have money to spend ona new phone.
Again thanks for all your replies.
I prefer flash one good kernel: siyah, dorimanx, because OC drain too much battery. And u can try OC because those kernels have OC options

Hey guys, new to the forum and the Vibrant, and i first want to say i love the setup and this forum is insanely informative on its own. Im fully rooted/themed/tethering/modded and the only question ive had to post was about icon .png size haha. so thanks for setting up a VERY efficient forum.
now my question: do i have to install a custom kernel in order to overclock/underclock? I installed setCPU and it wont let me scale past 800mhz. Also no presets, its just says to use conservative scaling for GalaxyS phones. No thank you, i wanna push this thing! Running stock kernel and firmware. Thanks ahead!
I believe you will need to flash one of the many kernels that fits what you want it to do, you should be able to under clock android if your phone is rooted but you will need a new kernel to overclock it.
when you install setcpu make sure you do auto-detect. since you already have it installed, hit menu->device selection->autodetect speeds
on a stock kernel you should be able to set max to 1000000mhz. With the Vibrant ALWAYS LEAVE SCALING TO CONSERVATIVE or you will have freezes.
To get past 1000000mhz you will need a custom kernel, I have been happy with both King's and JAC's. Just download one of their kernels, flash it through CWM, reboot, and run setcpu again and make it autodetect your speeds, from there you should be able to clock up to 1200000mhz
Good luck.

I'm not very familiar with kernels, so naturually im a little hesitant. What else will it affect?

It all depends on the kernel you flash. If you flash voodoo it will change the way the phones file system works. However if you just flash JAC's OC/uv kernal it will OverClock up to 1.2 ghz and UnderVolt some of the midrange frequencies to help improve batterylife. I reccomend reading up on his threads before you attempt these flashes. He has made the procedures to flash these kernels very easy to implement. Good luck and happy flashing! (That just sounds wrong!)

Moved to Q&A
hello,
I'm using the official lg rom v2.2.1 that came with the phone. I wanted to update to cm7 but I read about the problem with the BT wich I must have. another thing is that I'm using hebrew and I need it to stay that way.
The thing is that the touch screen is very bad and lags a lot.
If I will upgrade only the kernel what will be the affect on the phone and how do I know what is the best kernel for my version ?
In general I want to fix the touchscreen bug and to OC the phone.
thanks for the help.
If you just want to overcome the touch screen bug then I would suggest using Der_Caveman's Kernel, it is quite old but is usable and removes the touch bug and enables OC.
The kernel wouldn't change any outward appearance of the phone, except maybe increase the quadrant score a bit. If you really want a good performance boost as well then try franco's kernel. Since you are using the stock rom it is recommended to take a nand backup before flashing these kernels. And a kernel doesn't change the system language AFAIK.
Thanks for quick reply. will these two kernels good for froyo 2.2.1 and are there known bugs that I should be aware of before updating ?
As far as read the franco's v18.1 is for 2.3.3...
I have never used Der_Caveman's kernel, but it is bug-free AFAICT. And in the link that I have posted above, franco kernel is available for both froyo and GB. Download the version that says "franco.Kernel v8.1 CFS", it is for froyo.
And as I said earlier, since you are on stock rom it is advisable to take a nand before flashing a custom kernel.
i used dookmatt's kernel which was really good for me(flashed it on stock 2.2.2)...i had no touch lag, no bugs. that would be my recomandation
also dont forget nand backup is holy!

Can I OC with this one ?
OK, I flashed Der_Caveman's Kernel and so far it looks good. the touchscreen is better and I OC to to 729 using setcpu though I cant tell the difference in terms of the speed.
how can I tell if its really 729 and not 600 ?
thanks.
yes my O1 ran at 787 mhz and it was darn stable(at 800+ i had frequent freezes and reboots when launching apps). i also had a friend of mine install this kernel and he's happy with the "new" phone i made
quick system info on market...shows cpu speed
You may look at info tab on SetCPU, it says alot about your device, CPU (frequencies and features), battery and so on.
And you can have SetCPU widget on homescreen as well, which shows current freq, min and max frequencies of the governor you're using

Hello, I'm having something quite annoying with my Atrix 4G.
The problem is that sometimes when I'm playing any Tegra powered game, the phone restarts all alone, it's totally random, it can happen loading a game, sometimes while I'm playing, and sometimes it just don't happen.
I'm worried about this. This mean my Nvidia chipset is broken or it's just something driver/soft related?
How can I fix this?
Regards.
PS: It happened with my official firmware and now with CM7 too.
Quick question---what kernel are you using? Are you using Faux's kernels with both ROMS, and undervolting either? Have you used the v6 supercharger / converted any partitions to ext4?

I have no idea what I'm using, I just see that crash and erase my official firmware and install CM7. I have some android basic knowledge, which no include any kernel subjetcs, I just know how to install ROMs and stuff, but I'm a quick learner.
If you guide me about some possible error it may have I could fix it.
Thanks for your quick response.
I would suggest re-flashing your ROM maybe it's just a bad flash.On the other hand you can just go ahead and flash one of faux123 cm7 kernels and see which one works best for you even the O.C ones you can downclock i notice that issue with kernels mostly.
sorry for the noob question, i have recently put the andyx v12 rom on my s2, and now i am looking into updating the kernel for the first time.
im really interested in this siyah kernel but i am not sure if i am wanting it for the right reason as i dont know a great deal about it, from what i have read its great for overclocking / underclocking, not sure if im interested in the dual boot right now.
aside from that i dont think i want to over / under clock anyway so would i see much improvement is using this kernel, does it bring further performance gains anyway, smoother scrolling etc.. better battery life..
does the kernel use stock voltage / cpu settings as default so im not installing it and automatically overclocking my s2?
i have downloaded gs2 wiper which i am lef to believe is good to use before installing the kernel, is that a much or do most not bother?
so what do people see as an improvement in there day to day use of their phone that they would say makes it worth using this kernel?
i noticed on the site where siyah is hosted that this version is currently in beta and a new version has been coming out every other day, being new to this would i be best waiting till the final release is out or is it very simple to just install new versions as they come out anyway, if i was going to i think i would just use cmw anyway, so it sounds very easy.
last question if i do update to siyah will i be able to update to the next version of andyx rom without any issues and just the same as usual?
anyway sorry for asking such basic questions about it, its just things id like to know before i update to it.

Read the Siyah dev thread for answers to your questions.
sorry i did post there as well but i think it all got lost in the speed of that topic, its extremely active and i just thought i'd get a faster response just asking in a seperate topic

yes u can try the latest siyah beta8 and it wrks gr8 scrolling is smmoth with gud performance and batt life as well
know 2 ensure that u update 2 the newer ver of ur rom without any issue its recomended that u make a backup of ur current rom first and then try siyah kernel and while flashing the newer ver of ur rom if u have any issue then u can always restore ur backup and then proceed
so the moto always is 2 backup first before doing anything
happy flashing siyah kernel in advance
ok so I rooted my Galaxy S2 I9100 phone by flashing jeboo_kernel_i9100_v1-2a.tar and im using android 4.1.2 ...i cant overclock my CPU to 1.5Gz!...
I am confused that i need different kernel in order to overclock my phone by watching youtube video..
I am just worried if i flash with that kernel needed for SET CPU ..will this unroot my phone? or it keeps the phone as it is rooted??

don't think that that kernel allows o/c (i may be wrong) look at the thread for that kernel... i'm using 2.1 and think the link is in my signature. Flashing any custom kernel will give you root by default unless otherwise stated by the dev. so you won't lose root access by flashing another kernel. There are other kernels too look around there usually top of the thread because there really popular. Good luck

ok so if i update my kernel to jeboo_kernel_v2.1 CWM to my galaxy S2 I9100 running android 4.1.2..will that allow me to overlclock..im worried because when i tried last time all applications stopped working that needed rooting access..so that doesnt affect my rooting apps right ?
You would have to read the thread as to weather you can o/c and how far. Im not sure. As for root apps issue you shouldnt have any although they may need su access granting again.
