[Q] cant overclock CPU - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Query : Kernals and Voodoo Louder

Hi...
Greetings all.. Just joined the site today..That was a nice video intro to join
Am from india having this SGS II (GT - I9100) I updated the stock 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 by odin method after using the guidance in xda and rooted it using super user So far so good Now the thing is i searched the forum for 2days relating to this but couldn get any clear idea :
I want Voodoo LOUDER in my mob. I dunno which kernal supports it and whether any kernal has this inbuilt. Also i would be grateful if some1 tells me/ gives link to install such kernal
Btw wats the diff bet ROM and kernal ?
Plz help.. Thanks in adv..
Hi, welcome.
I don't know about every kernel but Voodoo louder definitely works for me on chainfires KK5 cfroot kernel and also on the experimental cm9.
More info can probably be obtained from the voodoo louder thread.
In layman's terms...
Firmware is all the stock software on your device.
A Rom for our purposes is a custom firmware compilation that has been modified in various ways to add or remove functionality. All are different.
A kernel is the basic operating system or brains of the device.
Im sure others will give you a more detailed explanation.
Good luck with it all.

SiyahKernel supports Vodoo Louder.
^ Yep, Siyah, SpeedMod K19, CF and Stock kernels are supported.
If I can read English right then Supercurio recommended Stock kernel.
Swyping from my GT-I9100 via Tt
I am currently using Siyah kernel latest version and then bought the voodoo Louder app from market. Download siyah and you should be fine. Regarding rom and kernel combination...Not going to tell you as you have to make your own mind regarding what is best....So many roms read have a look and you decide..Always read the first pages and then last ten pages to get a feel what people think of the rom...That way you can make your mind up.
Good luck anyway
Speedmod, NEAK kernel, Siyah, CF-root kernels( dont try it though since you are already rooted) are few kernels that support voodoo...but anyway il keep an eye on this thread to see how you get on

Thanks for the reply
I tried and installed the Voodoo Louder compatibility apk and it says 'Your device has been successfully configured' so that means it will work in mine correct ? I can proceed to buy it ? Or any other way to get it as a trial or free apk ?

what's a kernal?
The kernel in android is the linux kernel, it contains various drivers like the display, camera, bluetooth, wifi etc etc. its sort of the interface between the hw and the sw,
According to the changelog, VLouder should work with any kernel now.
Hi, I have Sensation 2 by Crisis on my SGS2 and Voodoo Louder says that its broken/incompatibile kernel. Can I install another kernel for this rom? I like it much so i dont want to change it :/
Yes but a kernel is going to be not the same but you probably wont notice the difference .
jje
So it doesnt matter if it be NEAK or smth?
Hi, I am from Germany and cant download Voodoo Louder from the market. It is not available in my country.
So is there a possibility to install it anyhow?
Does anyone have the apk file?
I really need this app! Why is it even locked?
Thanks!
Same problem for me. I cant Find IT even with market enabler.

[Q] How do I work out which CF-Root version to install on my CM9?

Firstly, sorry for taking up a Q&A thread; I know you guys don't like people doing this, but I have searched and I can't find the answer. I don't know precisely what to search for, so I could have missed it; please don't flame me if I've missed it by searching with the wrong terms. I would have posted on the thread but I don't have 10 posts.
So I'm running a recent build of CM9 on my SGS2. I wanted to try out CF-Root kernel (since I couldn't get the fancy features of Siyah to work without killing my battery. I know this is my fault not the kernel's, just saying that I'd like to try it when I have time to mess around with settings and features), but I struggled to work out which version to download. Chainfire's thread suggests finding the version to download by looking for 'KI4' (for example) in the Kernel Version. I don't have any such string in my kernel, since I'm running a non-stock kernel. I do, however, have 'LPS' in my baseband version. So I downloaded this version of CF-Root and flashed via Odin, no problems. When I booted the phone, I got an error from com.android.phone crashing continuously. So I just reflashed the CM9 version I was running previously.
I'm sure I've just done something very stupid, but I have tried with wipes and other such things. Could someone lend me a hand? Have I chosen the wrong version? Perhaps CF-Root doesn't work with CM9? I didn't think these could be incompatible, and it didn't specify this on the thread when I searched.
Many many thanks for your help
firstly y do u need a cf root for custum rom an tht too cm9....if ur on stock cf root woprks but if ur not satisfied wiv the cm9 kernel i think siyah ,neak r good options an obiviously don expect a good batt life on custum roms.....i saw good life on hydroginic rom....iam on stock cause i need a stable rom....

Sorry, I should have mentioned this in my first post! I'm looking for a different kernel because I read that cf-root has "ro.secure=1", but keeps root priveleges. I don't think the other kernels offer this, but I could be wrong. Do I take it from your reply that I can't use cf-root with CM9?

Excellent, thanks for your clear reply. I now have a further question; is there a kernel which supports "ro.secure=1" which works with non-stock firmware?
cf root is the closest to the stock lernel actually itslike a stock kernel wiv root,thts y its created for evey diff fw regions,no u cant cf root on any custum rom...

But do you know if any other ROMs have 'ro.secure=1'?
Or alternatively, is there any (relatively) straightforward way to set ro.secure=1? I know that some 'ro' settings can be easily changed, but if I'm correct then ro.secure is set somewhere else so it's harder to edit?

[Q] need help in flashing my phone

Hi,
I recently bought Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 on ebay. After receiving it I realized that it has a custom ROM installed on it. Now I cannot update my Galaxy SII using Kies. So, I decided why not flash it to stock ICS firmware.
as fas as I understand I need to flash my phone using ODIN with a stock ICS firmware (I choose the first one from Nordic countries from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 ).
Now what if I think of rooting it ? I mean I want to unlock super user privileges. As far as I understand I choose SiyahKernel v3.2.7.2 (from http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/). Just like the way I flashed using ODIN. I repeat it with this .tar file from SiyahKernel v3.2.7.2. Is that it ?
Can anyone verify it ?
Yes, but you should flash CF-Root kernel first (after flashing stock ROM).
If not satisfied with this, then you can try Siyah...
thanks for your reply. What is the difference between Chain Fire and Siyah ? I tried to look for differences ... couldn't find any .. CyanogenMod has a lot of documentation... in fact it is kinda scary (with some of its security problems)..

hey ma8 first try to understand everything about root and recovery then try to implement the same
ps- also for rooting ur phone after flashing stock ics rom please check the link below

There is almost no visible diffrences between kernels. at least in normal mode.(siyah has its own CWM, way better than other CWM versions).
Siyah Kernel eliminates some of logging processes and unusefull procedures of android, so it gives you better battery life. specially in idle mode.(about 1 percent for 7-8 hour) and I feel CF-kernels are more battery consuming than stock kernels.
Also Siyah gives you advanced control over hardware, and has a dual boot option.(two different ROM of same version. both ICS or both GB). for best results you should download EX Tweaks from market.

CF-Root kernel from Chainfire is only a rooted stock kernel with a few extras (such as SuperSU, BusyBox, CWM recovery, CWM Manager app, etc.).
Have a look at CF-Root thread for detailed information => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
SiyahKernel from gokhanmoral is completely different, as it is a custom kernel with a lot of patched, parts from other kernels/linux sources/other phones/individually developed code/etc.
See corresponding thread for further information => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555259
If you want to stay "stock" but rooted, then flash the corresponding CF-Root kernel for your stock ROM.
Happy flashing !
P.S.: Use TriangleAway app from Chainfire to remove the yellow triangle and reset the counter after flashing an insecure kernel, such as CF-Root or Siyah.
And as soon as your phone is rooted, you can use Mobile Odin app from Chainfire to flash stock ROMs, kernels and other part of the firmware with an on-device app - without the yellow triangle and without increasing the counter.
CF kernels are STOCK kernels, only with root access.
Syiah, Speedmod and others are developed as new kernels with special properties - adjustable voltage and over- under- clocking... also there is a greater risk of them being unstable
all of this makes me scared .. but, I want to take that leap ... sounds geeky to me..
As long as you understand the process of whatever you're going to do to your phone & follow instructions to the letter you should be fine.
If you don't understand exactly what it is you're going to do to your phone, don't do anything until you do.

[Q] Overclocking my SGS2

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

[Q] Overclocking kernel

I own a GTi9300 4.1.2 XXEMC2 rooted but still on stock (didn't find any advantage in any custom ROM so far) i rooted it using CFautoroot.. I didn't install CMW yet using ROM manager, but im willing to once i find a kernel that will let me overclock my phone.
So any adviced Kernel that will work on my phone to overclock? Currently SetCpu only allows me to underclock :/.
Thanks in advancee
N. B: I DONT OWN A MEMORY CARD IN CASE ITS NEEDED TO FLASH A KERNEL
check the development section for compatible kernels. all of them allow OC
