Total NOOB here, but I get confused on all the posts.
At one point I ran the Eugene's Vibrant4 rom with one RyanZA's one click lag fix on the one click root.
I ended up going back to stock and waiting for the JI6 OTA. I got impatient and downloaded the JI6 OTA zip from ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802240
Now I'm just running that on an unrooted Vibrant. I was wondering what is the best Kernel / Rom / LagFix to go with after this update? Are there any yet for the version listed in the link as it is not the leaked version of JI6? (having a hard time deciphering Roms and kernels for leak vs OTA JI6)
Also I have the larger nand chip according to the post here ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8322865&postcount=131
I was wanting to try the JAC XMOD ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791478
or the kingklick ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787410 but I don't wanna mess up my phone, I'm poor as heck and need my phone.
I also want to speed up my phone if at all possible and maybe lengthen battery life... (might be asking too much lol )
Any posts appreciated, and yes I know I'm noob!
yes you might be asking too much. I am currently running Simbionix 1.7 with jac's kernel with voodoo on the J12 modem O/C to 1.2. You will instantly see the speed of your phone increase.
I flashed the J12 modem because its supposed to give you increased battery life. After following the instruction on reconditioning the battery, It still wasn't that great even though others are reporting great battery life. I am going for broke and flashing Bionix 1.7 w/Jacs OC/UV/VOODOO kernel w/ the J16 modem tonight.
First step is rooting your phone with the one click root program and try them all out if you like. Its hard to mess up this phone as you can always flash back to stock with Odin. Even there is a few bugs with Sim1.7 its still a great rom and will be using it this till Froyo is released.
ok, thanks badaphooko01. I guess I will try the Jacs but not sure if I should be trying the voodoo version cause of the larger nand chip.
Ok so I had installed the one click root and Rom Manager, used them to load the Bionix 1.7 w/Jacs OC/UV/VOODOO kernel w/ the J16 modem even tho I see that voodoo is disabled due to my nand chip...and I haven't bought the SetCPU app yet.
Seems like my battery life went up huge even though I haven't yet reconditioned the battery. It was too late to finish after I loaded the rom, had to sleep for work. I figured I would recondition tonight but as it's going I may not need to.
This rom DOES help battery life and it sped up my phone so I am truly happy with it.
Thanks for the input.
Side note, I haven't noticed any freezes or reboots yet due to not having setCPU installed. But I also haven't had time to get all the apps I had previously back on my phone either. :/

You shouldn't be getting freezes or reboots at all. The only way I could see that happening is if you installed SetCPU and set the minimum clock speed below 200MHz. Right now without SetCPU installed you are running on the stock speeds of 200min / 1000max which should be fine.

Hello - this is a pretty n00bish question but I have had a hard time finding the exact answer I was looking for on this threads and on Google. The Thunderbolt is my first Android phone, and I got it last week and already rooted it with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3. I also have WidgetLocker, Launcher Pro, and other programs to really customize the phone. I was playing around with the DAS Bamf Toolkit and I was noticing the CPU and governor settings. I was wondering what CPU settings and governor settings people use? Right now I have the default, which is 1.037 Ghz at max frequency, 245 Mhz at min frequency, and using the ondemand governor. I have seen a lot of people use the smartass governor, and I was wondering what the difference does - especially between interactive and conservative (powersave and performance I can guess at what they specialize in). What would be the best settings for optimizing battery life while still having good performance? I know a lot of people say to do your own testing and find out what works best for your phone and your needs, but I am just curious at what other people work at and how they like their settings.
Another question I have it about different kernels. Right now I am using the kernel that came with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3 (2.6.32.21.bamf_4.4.7-g21c0620-dirty (by a adrynalyne #1)), but I know some people have been using Imoseyon's kernels. Do people find their phone more or less stable when using Imoseyon's kernel on Das BAMF instead of using adrynalyne's kernel? (I figured since he was one of the people who developed Das BAMF, his kernel would work best, but it seems to me a lot of people have been mixing/matching).
One final random question that I thought of while writing this thread, I also only ever flashed Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3; I never flashed any new radio or anything like that because at first I assumed it came with the ROM, but reading some threads on the forum, it seems that comes separate, and I am not sure if the stock/leaked radio is better/worse for battery or if it works with the ROM.
Again, sorry if these sound like very amateur questions but I just want some clarifying on these things and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
Other information about my phone:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: 1.16.00.0402w_1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.21.bamf_4.4.7-g21c0620-dirty (by a adrynalyne #1)

Software Number: 1.13.605.7
Expiramenting with what combination works for you is the best idea, HOWEVER, always backup what works, and make sure you have the right radio for the ROM you're flashing. Three quarters of what makes this fun is funding out what will and will not make your phone better. The other half is learning how to fix what you just broke.
Also, In my expierience, overclocking to anything over 1.6ghz causes problems.

heres a list of readios ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045081 im on das bamf 1.6.3 with the first one on this list and it works great. also im on that same kernel overclocked to 1280 max and 368 min and i have great speed and battery life (also using setcpu and underclocking to 368 max when screen off so thats probably why ). using the ondemand governer. never tried smart ass but heard good things. the conservative is good for saving battery i use it on my screen off profile.
Awesome, I am going to try to flash that radio... Is it bad that I am not flashing it around the time I flashed the ROM, or would that still be fine? And again, I am sorry if this next question sounds amateur, but to flash it, I would just copy the PG05IMG.zip to my SD Card, reboot my phone in Bootloader (or Recovery?) and install the radio from there (assuming I first wipe the cache/dalvik, or do I need not to do that for radio?).
My battery life is fine, I have the extended battery and I get about 31 hours (but I am on Wi-Fi a lot instead of 3G, which I heard is better for battery, and I am not that heavy of downloading/games), but I heard people getting 2+ days, so maybe flashing this newer radio may show improvements, who knows, ha.
I will have to download SetCPU, because at first I thought you can only change the CPU settings on the Das BAMF Toolkit, but it looks like SetCPU has a lot more options. Dak_181, when you say you have great battery life/speed, how much out of your battery do you get?
BACKUP when making these changes. 10 minutes can save you an hour.
Right, I use Nandroid and Titanium Backup - if I were to flash a new radio as well as Imoseyon's 2.5.1 kernel, should there be an order I do it in (radio first, then kernel, or kernel first, then radio?), or does it not matter?
smartass is interactive gov with some tweaks (interactive makes the CPU clock up faster when you interact with the screen) and basically does a conservative screen off automatically. i think the max clock speed on the TB Is like 400 while the screen is off. i might be wrong on that number but you get the idea.

InteractiveX sets the cpu @ about 250 ish when the screen is off. That is the lowest idle state for the most part, I did however see some testimg trying to get 184mhz to work.

it doesnt matter when you flash the radio, and you dont need to wipe data or cache. to install put it on the root of your sd card and reboot into.. recovery? whichever one you get to by powering off then holding down volume and power untill it starts up. it will find the update and install it automatically then reboot. make sure to delete it from sd card right away or youll get problems next time your flash anything. and i got about 15 hours with the stock battery and pretty consistence use in a low coverage area (bouncing between 1x and nothing all day).
15 hours with NO 4G I presume? I got about 8 hours of medium use in a good 4G coverage area. I am running BAMF 1.63 with BAMF Toolkit CPU on SmartAss gov. No overlooking.
Does it make a big difference to install the kernel first or the radio first? Also, does anyone think they find better results using Imoseyon's 2.5.1 kernel on Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3, or do they find using the stock kernel for that is best since it was made for that ROM?
And thanks for all the help about installing!
I am getting ridiculously good battery life and performance with Das Bamf 1.6.3 and Imoseyon's leankernel 2.5 running on extreme with custom undervoltage and interactiveX governor.
One of the key contributors to my battery life is the custom undervoltage. The leankernel extreme is already undervolted, but to be compatible with more TBs it isn't undervolted as much as it can be. After the tweaks i made, which included setting the min clock speed to 368 since I have it using the same low voltage as 245 (750 mv).
I have heard that smartass also gives great battery life with imoseyon's kernel, but since interactiveX has been so good I have had no desire to switch.
I hope that helps!

thats right. it was part wifi and part 1x/nothing. i have crappy service in my area. also recently learned that having task killers is useless on the thunderbolt and its actually draining my battery. gonna see if it changes without it today
If I were to install the radio using ClockwordMod Recovery (I guess the option to install .zip from SD Card), and it happens there is something wrong and I want to go back to the stock radio I had, would that be where Titanium Backup/Nandroid comes in play, or do they not backup radio stuff, and I would have to find another .zip of the stock radio?
(Again, sorry if this sounds n00bish, I am just very new to this and I want to be sure I know what I am doing, I appreciate all the help I am getting here, it is awesome )

I know about managing the CPU clock, but what is undervolting do? I don't have that option in my ROM, so do I have to download it somewhere?
What exactly the SmartAss governor do?
Yeah, I second lanwarrior, I am confused at how exactly to undervolt my phone? Is that just in the CPU settings when you go and change them in SetCPU or Das BAMF Toolkit?
Radios, have to be renamed to that special name(PG..... Whatever it is lol) and on the root of the SD card. Then you go to hboot (power + volume down when booting) and it will automatically scan for the file and ask to install if it does.
Trying to install the radio from recovery won't work to my knowledge because it can't update the radio that way I believe, only through hboot.
And to revert back to an older radio, there is plenty of radios out there to try and see which one works. If you are planning to upgrade to the new gingerbread radio that was leaked, I'd highly suggest you wait as because of the recent(today) rumors of it super bricking phones. If I left anything out about the radio, feel free to ask.
About the kernels, I'm not too sure about. I do know about the governors mostly, as for the underclocking , it just means that people are making their lowest CPU speed (the Min CPU setting mostly) go lower than normal, pretty much like the concept of overclocking. Kernels tend to be the same but tweaked in many different ways, like how the voltage is and how specific you can be with setting a specific CPU speed.
Some kernels also have more/better tweaks making them faster and more battery efficient.
Best thing to do, is mix and match these things to find the one that you find that works best.
And one last note: ALWAYS MAKE BACK UPS.
I have learned that multiple times by now, especially when screwing around with that stuff

Awesome, thanks so much for your help. I just recently found this thread as well that gives good explanations on how to flash using ABD (I am not using their radio, but their instructions are nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128). I still might just copy it on my SD card and then try through Bootloader, the way you described (sounds a little easier to do). And no no, I was not planning on doing the GB radio - I am staying away from GB ROMs and that of sort until the actual release of it and people have been using the ROMs for a bit and know it is stable/will not brick the phone - I am fine with Froyo for now. I plan on just installing the first radio link here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128, which is the 1.13.605.7 CDMA/LTE radio combo - I have been told that works fine, but knowing my luck, something might go wrong, ha).
Based on some threads I have been reading, Imoseyon 2.5.1 kernel seems to work very well and seems to have no problem with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3. I think I might try installing the radio tomorrow, then the kernel, then installing SetCPU and playing around with the SmartAss governor a bit since that also seems to be popular (even though I am not 100% on what it does yet, ha, but I guess I will find out).
I currently get around 31 hours of battery life (with extended battery) on mainly just Wi-Fi and doing minimal downloading and doing some texting/calls, which seems good, but I feel there are a lot of people getting even more so I might try to get more out of my battery.
Well like I said, find what works best and always backup! Haha. I went through a couple different radios to find the best one for me. The other one I tried, would make me reboot a couple times a day randomly. And now the one I'm on, not a single reboot since it has been installed.
But others say it the other way with this one rebooting and the other working, so just gotta find the best.
And don't forget to delete the radio off the SD card root ASAP just in case you get stuck rebooting and need to go to recovery. (Only way to get in without fully booting is through hboot, which will try to install the radio every time only unless it is deleted. ) believe me I have been stuck in a bootloop with a radio on the SD card lol. Only way around it was use my sisters phone to delete the radio from the SD card

Oh jeez, thanks for the advice. If you do not mind me asking, which radio are you using/which one gave you the random reboots a day one? Which ROM are you on (if you are rooted)?
I dont know if anyone is having this problem but on pretty much any rom/bootloader combination my tablet will only run at stock speeds and if the rom is overclocked on first boot my tablet just wont boot at all, I know some processors are slower than others but is it really likely that mine maxes at 1 GHZ? If i use setcpu to OC when a rom is running smoothly it will run fine for about 1-2 minutes or until i needs a lot of cpu then it just freezes. Any ideas to fix this, or just help understanding what is going on would be appreciated. My CDMA hero overclocks just fine and crashes instantly if i go too far unlike the tablet.
I know that this will sound like a stupid question, but are you certain that you've loaded a kernel that allows for overclocking?
what rom/kernel combinations have you tried?
Calkulin Clemsyn combo is what I'm using, and the overclocking appears to be working fine with Clemsyn's kernel.
Try CPU master from market. The free version works fine. Should do what your looking for. I have the paid version of Set CPU and it has never worked on gtab for me.

Not all chips can be overclocked to the extreme. A few can't handle it at all. Try some small increases at first to see if your chip can handle it.
I've also had some luck with finicky chips using PimpMyCPU with Celmsyn's kernel since it allows you to set specific speed and voltage combinations (Not sure if CPU Master allows that... never used it). So you might give that a try.

Only his latest kernels have worked with it. Setcpu didn't get on there end of the process until late may-ish, I believe, when they finally supported tegra2. Still CPU master works with pershoots kernels too. Its basically a re-branded copy of setcpu anyway.
No matter what combo of app/kernel/rom it wont go to 1200 and not lock so im just thinking its one of the slower tegras, which sucks but oh well

That's just it. It's not written anywhere before I wrote it. It's like masturbation. It's not really written anywhere for a 12 year old to learn about. Eventually, they all figure it out on their own... or they become the 40 yr old virgin.
Not positive it will work but for desktops, back when I overclocked religiously, instability could be helped by raising voltages. But it might increase heat which also leads to more instability. Lucky for us, tegra 2 is low voltage.
Im running liquid gingerbread v3.0 and no matter what I do if I change the processed speed while it boots up over 1.42 it locks completely up and I have to do a battery pull and sometimes if I boot up above 1.42 it locks up randomly anyways I've tried a wipe and I tried a different kernal imoseyen 6.2.1 I believe im gonna try one more kernal and will update the results but I don't have much hope

this is correct... i can clock mine up to ~1700 no problems, untill the screen goes to sleep and then all goes south if i keep it under 1400 its all good. but honestly there is no point to going over 12-1300 benchmark results are neglegably improved and you are killing your battery and running the risk of burning up your equipment.
Each ThunderBolt handles overclocking differently as mentioned above. The expansion and contraction of the metal and other materials when heating and cooling vary from device to device, so one thunderbolt might be able to get up to 1.7GHz, and another might not be able to handle 1.2GHz.
Also, as mentioned above, clocking over 1.2GHz is really pointless. I honestly never overclock my phone. No need in my opinion.
Like mentioned above I really see no need to go above 1.4, but if you wanted you could always raise the voltage on those higher frequencies so it wouldnt lock up.
Thank you guys it isn't really that I want or need to go over 1.4 and I rarely ever do it is more me being a perfectionist. But its strange Ive had liquid before on here and it always ran five and I usually left it at 1.5 and it never really started acting weird till about 1.8 and it was the same version v3.0.
*Edit* just out of curiousity I booted up and older recovery of liquid 3.0 with the stock kernal and it ran up 1.8 fine?
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA App
Different roms run different kernels/versions of kernels, which in turn use different voltages. If a kernel was undervolted, its less likely to handle higher speeds.

I just installed the new Siyah 3.2b1 kernel to run my ShoStock 2.2.2 ROM last night and everything was working fine. I didn't make many changes other than switching the governor to lulzactive and the i/o scheduler to noop.
It was running fine over night (lost 0% battery).
Then today after I used the phone for a few minutes the battery seemed to drain a little quicker. I know its too early to complain about battery life but I decided to investigate. When I checked cpuSpy it showed that all of the frequencies were barely used (mostly spent in deep sleep over night) but the 1200 mhz frequency was used most after that (significantly more than the others). When I went back into voltage control (same thing with setcpu) I noticed that it seemed to be stuck at 1200 mhz. The only thing that fixed it was changing the governor.
Does anyone have any ideas on whats causing this and how to fix it (I had great battery performance on lulzactive before so would like to use it again)?
Just try clearing app data rebooting and reinstalling the app. That problem has happened to me every once in a blue moon and that fixed it for me.

Thanks, I'll try reinstalling the kernel.
Which app are you referring to? because I had this problem no matter which app I used to change the governor (Extweaks, voltage control, setcpu).

Hi Guys,
My first post here. I am total noob. I rooted and installed the newest ShoStock2 on my at&t galaxy s2. Everything works perfectly. I couldn't be happier. I also went bought the setCPU for overclocking it. That too seem to be working fine.
My question is. I didn't set up any voltage requirements. The only thing I did was to set it to 1600 MHZ and 200 min and change the governor on the bottom to Lulzcrative. Will this work? Do I need to actually do something with the voltage? am I really on 1600 right now? I cannot tell.
I ran a quad test (I now it is meaningless in real world) it came 2818 yesterday. I ran it again this morning ..... It froze and took my battery from 45 to 9 in less than 3 mins!!!!!! The phone got really hot. I took out the battery right of way. The battery life showed 23 percent this time.
I got little afraid of the quadrant testing ... The phone seems to run good without that but I am not sure if it is set up how it is suppose to.
Could someone help me out please? I tried reading the forums and that is where I got the idea in the first place to overclock it.
So to summarize it, I guess phone is fine right now but I am not sure if I set up setcpu out properly.
I am on the newest shostock2. I have galaxy s2 on att. I am pretty good with computers and phones but not sure about voltage and other problems with relating to setCPU.
Thank you advance for helping me out.

Lots of questions there. Phone overclocking is the same and at the same time different than PC overclocking. I too bought SetCPU and due to bugs and problems have completely abandoned it. Honestly with the exception of running an epeen benchmark there is little incentive to overclock. Find a newer Kernel (I use NEAK which has no overclocking ability) and install it, performance is stellar. You really have to ask yourself, is my phone slow enough that I need more CPU power to make it faster?
To see what time your CPU is spending at a given clock speed, download CPUSpyhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd, you will be surprised to see your phone spend very little time at it's max clockspeed.
Due to the immaturity of the fab process for our CPU's (well SoC), what is a stable overclock for one person might not even load for another. These CPU's are not like an Intel Sandy Bridge, with 1Ghz of free overclocking, nearly guaranteed. You can certainly play with voltages to try and attain a higher overclock, but at the expense of CPU lifetime, as well as battery.
Additionally, it takes a new Kernel 3 or so full charge, discharge cycles on a phone to really 'settle in' and 'learn' a particular phones battery, while yours got hot, which to me indicates an endless loop of some kind running in the background.
My advice would be as follows: Choose a ROM you like, feel free to play with different Kernels, again, I use NEAK, which does not work for some folks, or crashes or whatever. Give it several days to 'settle in' and if your still not happy with performance or have stability problems, try a different governor/scheduler. You really need to establish a good, solid baseline of your phones performance and make small changes and give them long enough to establish any changes to your phones overall stability. Basically running cowboy through your phone and making changes will have a negative overall outcome. Make small, documented changes, test and see what overall effect this has to your phone's stability and battery life, and make another change.

I just installed the new Siyah 3.2b1 kernel to run my ShoStock 2.2.2 ROM last night and everything was working fine. I didn't make many changes other than switching the governor to lulzactive and the i/o scheduler to noop.
It was running fine over night (lost 0% battery).
Then today after I used the phone for a few minutes the battery seemed to drain a little quicker. I know its too early to complain about battery life but I decided to investigate. When I checked cpuSpy it showed that all of the frequencies were barely used (mostly spent in deep sleep over night) but the 1200 mhz frequency was used most after that (significantly more than the others). When I went back into voltage control (same thing with setcpu) I noticed that it seemed to be stuck at 1200 mhz. The only thing that fixed it was changing the governor.
Does anyone have any ideas on whats causing this and how to fix it (I had great battery performance on lulzactive before so would like to use it again)?

Lulz has known problem in 3.2b2-1
Gokhan has fixed it in 3.2b2 - 2
Wait for ktoonsez to update it for us

Thank you so much for the information. Could I simply uninstall the setcpu and go back to normal? Simply reflash the rom and/or kernel? I really like shostock2 with the cherry picker kernel for now. I want to give them a week of try to make my mind. Before the setcpu I think.I was better off
Thanks for the help by the way. I appreciate it.
Thanks for the update about the new siyah kernel. Glad it wasn't just me with the issue. I was going to post this question in the siyah thread but am new to the site so didn't have permission so thanks for finding me all the way over here

Lol what exactly have u heard? If it was causing problems it would get pulled. The only thing I can foresee happening is someone flashing it and then not flashing a kernel or something. Which would be user error.

I'm just going off what I've seen in the Siyah/NEAK threads. Most of the lock-ups/random reboots I've heard people having had used the cleaning script. Either that or its just coincidence.
I may be wrong but I think that using the kernel cleaning script actually solved most of the lockups. Perhaps I misunderstood the threads.

Hmm, well I've just manually wiped cache and dalvik and have never had problems between roms/kernels.
