Kernel question - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is probably stupid question but.... I rooted my hero today and flashed a Rom to it, do I need to flash a kernel? If so then whaT is the best kernel to use? Thanks in advance.

The stock kernel is fine unless you want to overclock. If you want to Overclock you want ToastCFC's godmode kernel.

Thanks man I really appreciate it. Is the speed noticeBly better when overclocking? and I'm running damages 2.09.1, what should I overclock to for best performance? I'm sorry for being such a newb

Tegrak overclocking for SGS-HELP

I just installed tegrak overlocking on my sgs fone. Pls help me what settings will i use. im running android 2.3.3. pls help
You need a kernel that supports overclocking. For values just look in the Glitch-kernel-thread. And I prefer 'Voltage Control'.

hi. i saw the thread. WOW too techy for me. i dont know where to start and what to look for
Just look at the values.

i dont know what is my rom? if cvm or maui? i mean cm
Go to Settings -> About phone then you'll see what's your ROM.
how will i know if im CM7 or maui as my fone doesnt say so
errrr if you're talking about the tegrak overclocking app, it does overclocking by itself without the need for a custom kernel or other app. that is its purpose *facepalm*
Try set OC to 1.2 GHz and see how that goes. if it makes the phone reboot/not work properly, click on "optimisation" and increase the voltage value for 1200 a little bit (ie. 25 or 50 mv). You can apply the same principles when attempting higher GHz too.
actually ive installed voltage control but it says my fone's kernel does not support voltage control. What kernel will i install so i can overclock my fone. Pls see below my firmware:
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000 XXJVO
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVO
@oswade i followed your instructions. my fone did not boot at 1.2 ghz. what does it mean?
by the way i read from other thread that stock kernel cant be overclocked that i need a custom kernel for overclocking? if this is true then installing tegrak overclock is useless except for custom kernel?

Yes, you need a custom kernel.
And be sure to have the kernel cleaning script on your sdcard to, it can provide flashing if you have made sh*t.

Thanks Lunchbox!! However i find it complicated and im scared to do it. i guess ill be needing a tutor for this.
Tank u very much!

Why?
You lookbfor a kernel that fits your firmwareversion and that supports oc. You have to flash this kernel via Odin oder CWM (there are always installation instructions in each kernel-thread). Then you download 'Voltage Control' out of the market, set your CPU frequency and you are done.

Overclocking gtab p1000

Hey guys, tried to search for in the forums havent got any luck in finding it. If any of you guys know where the thread for this, please kindly post it here. Thanks
So to my question, at what clockspeed can we overclock our tab without it getting any negative reactions. Meaning, without it busting the battery breaking the tab in whatever way. Had mine overclocked at 1.2ghz. But i want to try it a little more highee.. just want to know if it would be safe.

Seems like no one even cares to answer..
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I wouldn't recommend clocking above 1200. At least with the kernel I'm using max clock speed is 1400 and cranking it up to max almost always creates stability issues.
Okay thanks.. my rom allows me to overclock to 1.6ghz. So well wont try it then. Thanks for the response.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I have 1.4ghz stable, i think it depends the kernel with the another kernel I cant get 1.3 gets stable.
Pd: I have the lastest Ronan's kernel for p1000 l/n
How do you overclock your cpu? I have the stock gingerbread, i have rooted with the DoomLord method, i install SetCPU, but the max value is at 1000 Mhz. How can i raise that value to 1200 Mhz?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
you need a custom kernel like CM7, Overcome. y you have a latin america tab [P1000N/L] you can use Ronan or Humberos Kernel. in the developement seccion.
Thanks. I will try Overcome Kratos.

If your custom doesn't support oc, ask the developer for help lol. Alternatively, you could flash another kernel that supports oc. But you gotta get it right.

I recommend to set the max cpu frequency around 729-806mhz, minimal to 245mhz and SmartAssV2 for the governor. I'ts fast enough and the battery live is good. If you set the cpu frequency to the max, your device will become unstable and the battery drain faster.
I'm just giving recommendations. So, everything is up to you.
(P.S. I'm new on XDA )

First of all, welcome to XDA...
My OC is set at:
Min: 245MHz
Max: 729MHz
Governor: SmartAssV2
IO Scheduler: Deadline
SystemUI and stuff doesn't lag, but large apps lags sometimes but it's acceptable.

Including custom Kernel on Stock rom?

Hi guys,
This is my first post on XDA and hoping some help soon.
So, I own a s5830i with XXLK2.
I'm rooted and have tried many custom roms but haven't been much happy with them.
Going brief I like to stay with stock rom only, but in that some highly desired kernel features like swap, cpu governors underclock/overclock frequencies etc. Are missing. I assume these features are useful for REALLY noticeably increasing performance.
My biggest aim being saving as much battery life as possible so I need underclocking and cpu governors.
So Can anyone tell me how to get custom kernel(the only I knw is rafael baugis kernel) working with my STOCK ROM. Any nice and short tutorial will be a great help.
Also, does undercloclocking, unervolting increase performance? Any experience?
How about using swap to increase ram size, will it really increase multitasking?
Any help will be greatly appreciated

It's got 3-4 installation methods wich one should I adopt. (Want to flash kernel on my stock rom).
And can you please help me out with the module selection? What are they?

Stock rom overclock

Hello people how are you? I have a question for you. Ok maybe not a question but a request? Ok lets get to the thing. Ive tried many custom roms and i kinda dont like them so i went back on a stock rom. The only problem is thay i want to overclock stock rom but i cant find the right kenel. I found some outdated post on xda and downloaded godell's kernel and it seems to work perfectly expect the games wont work. The screen just go black and thats it. So im asking is there anyone that can help me out fix this issue? Ive tried downclocking and changing governors but it didnt help. If anyone coukd provide me with some kernel and/or stock rom that supports that kernel i would be really gratefull. Here are some of the information about my current rom
Baseband version S5570XWKT6
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKTN
Android version 2.3.6
Best regards and thanks in future

Guys restarting the phone fixed the solution so its ok sorry for bothering best regards

Ah then its ok
But if u wanna try other kernel, try using doc_cheilvenerdi's internal memory hack, there are also oc kernels and u get this possibility to have more internal mem as nice side effect

I actually want oc kernel for european 2.3.5 but its hard do find so im fine with this xD
