Hello people
I'm New to Android and I've been busy with rooting my phone and installing custom roms and things like that.
But now I'm trying to overclock my phones CPU. but the governors are not letting me go above 600Mhz and I've given the Setcpu app which I'm using root access but it's not working.
Dose anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
My phone is the LG Optimus T by the way
EDITED bit: Ok I see I need a custom kernel, dose anyone have a recommendations for custom kernels for my phone ^^ and can you post me a link please
You have to use a custom kernel that allows frequencies higher than 600MHz. There are a number to choose from (check dev subforum).
Thanks I'll look into it and I'll let you know if I'm having problems.
Hello all!
I'm a newbie who wants to know some more about ROMs and Kernels.
Here's the thing:
I have the awesome galaxy s2 and I definately want to flash Lite'ning ROM 1.5.
I also read about an easy overclock kernel here (using SetCPU app):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075061
1. Now, what I do not yet understand is: if I flash the necessary OC kernel, will this interfere with the Lite'ning ROM (which has the KF2 kernel)?
2. If so, is there another way to do an easy overclock on the Lite'ning ROM?
I'm looking for CPU speeds of about 1.4 to 1.5 Ghz, just to get that little bit of extra performance.
I also looked at the Tegrak OC, but I don't think I know enough to mess with the voltages... Or how to even do that
3. So, how do ROMs and Kernels work (in short)? Can I flash any Kernel on any ROM?
4. And can you install multiple Kernels working next to eachother? Or will some Kernels interfere with eachother?
I searched the forums for good explanations, but thusfar haven't found any.
Sorry for being a noob! I'm really trying to read up, but it's more difficult than I had expected.
Some Noob-Proof explanation would be much appreciated!
Numbered the questions I have at the moment
Thank you!
I cant answer all your questions but i'll do my best
2) have a look at tekrak overclock and this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14973796&postcount=531 the first part is about undervolting which is great and the last section is about what voltage to overclock your galaxy s2 at
Basically, the voltage is how much energy your battery puts through the system, including gpu and cpu, so if you overclock you need more energy and dont worry about crashing, it just reboots and asks you if you want the previous settings and you say no (write down your previous settings though) and then lower the voltage and try again and so on
3) roms are basically modified versions of android and kernels can be flashed on most roms, im not sure about the official ones
Thats all i know about so i hope it helped you
PM me if you want some help with undervolting or overclocking, i dont tend to overclock as i dont see the point, my phones already so fast
Thank you!
That Naphtaline guide about voltages seems really helpful
I do need the Tegrak Ultimate app to set all the voltages right?
The free one doesn't seem to include that.
I'll have a look into it anyway.
And I recall that I do not need to flash another kernel if I use this Tegrak OC right?
Almost sure I read that somewhere in the Lite'ning ROM thread.
Appreciate the help!
I think the free one includes voltages just no settings for the gpu, but i could be wrong
Not sure about the Tegrak kernel, but no harm in it
No problem, just pm me if anything goes wrong or you have some questions
yeah that Naphtaline guide is just classy keep up the gud work guyz
Hi all, I didn't want to clutter up the dev forum with this question, but is there a kernel out there with permanent overclock settings like some other android phones/tablets? I don't want to use setCPU and things like that, I just want to be able to flash the kernel and have the phone run at 1.x0ghz.
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?
I was just wondering I scoured the net to find a kernal I can overclock on this device to no mavail.. Are there any kernels that would allow me to overclock I really want morrowind to run a bit faster.. thanks hopefully someone replys
