Well, I know exactly how to flash a kernel. However I run the stable voodo kernel which comes with Darkys 9.02 EXTREME edition. I am going to download the custom OC'ing kernel (voodo) someone suggested me in my other thread.
Though*;
Having Voodo Stable kernel, is it SAFE to re-flash the kernel to another version of Voodo (made for overclocking)
Should be. But if you can spare the time, remove the lagfix first.
better safe than sorry!
disable lagfix before flashing, just to be on the sure side.
If you want to flash any kernel over another disable al tweaks an turn lagfix off. Doing it this way things never can go wrong
Any good 500-1000 HZ kernel?. With overclock. Also as Overclock is enabled in stock ROM, why is NONE using this oppertunity?

Hi guys make this post cause im kinda new to think kernel instal/removal and didnt find anythink usefull in google.So i have SGS i900 darky rom 9.3 xwjs5 and kernel [email protected]#24.So question is does speedmod a lagfix ?How do i remove it/replace it and is it normal on quadrant to have 1101 score with this setup?And does the kernel i wrote is the default one from darky.And can anyone post any other lagfix suitable for this rom cause vodoo drains way much batt.
Speedmod does have a lagfix. Quadrant scores vary but they don't really matter as their not indicative of how good your phone is running. You have to boot into recovery and then go into Speedmod menu. Then go to lagfix/tweaks to enable whatever you want.
You don't need to enable anything if you feel your phone is fast. Only do it if you think your phone is lagging.
There are a whole bunch of kernels here

So speedmode is like think that have alot tweaks?and those new kernels i instal over this one and flash with clockwork right
speedmod has a lagfix but to be honest I dont think its essential. Its snappy enough without it. Also the latest stock releases are super fast also.

Yeah you flash it with clockwork. But to be honest, just like the poster above said, you don't need lagfixes with most of the new roms as they are all very fast as is. And sometimes the lagfix might also screw up your phone. I applied the lagfix to darkyy's 9.3 and it killed my battery much faster and when I tried to go back to RFS my phone gave me problems. So unless you really need it I don't think that you should apply the lagfix.
But to each his own. Good luck
OK. So I am sure I am missing something obvious here. I've done a ton of searching and reading, but I'm still at a bit of a loss.
I am running CM7 with dalingrin's OC kernel flashed over the top of it. I see tons of people overclocking to 1.0 and 1.1 GHz, yet I can't seem to options for doing so.
In CM7 settings under performance, I have options for 100-950. I can O/C to 950 and that's great, but how do people try settings above that? I tried setCPU, but it seems to cap out at 950 as well.
What am I missing?
You need to get a different kernel, such as Dalingrin's, from the android development forum.
Hi,
Looks like you didn't successfully install the overclock kernel, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
for instructions.
I have been using the CWM install method and am running CWM7 RC4 with
the interactive governor between 300 and 1100MHz.
I usually install the updated CM7 along followed by GAPPS then the
latest OC kernel. Perhaps you installed the kernel before CM7? CM7
comes with its own kernel that overwrites existing kernel when you install CM7.
Hope this helps,
Peter

That is odd. I have never had any issue like that with any of the oc kernels.
My one and only question is if you a sure you flashed the right one successfully?
http://nook.handhelds.ru/dalingrin/kernels/033111/
Note that there are 2 kernels for each ROM-
one is for internally installed (emmc)
One is for sd card installations (sd)
I do not know if any errors would show up if you flashed the wrong one or if there was an error with the download.
My suggestion would be to try again and see if it works.
My response may be too basic- I don't know your knowledge level.
One thing though- IN CM7 it is best to NOT use SetCPU or other apps to change cpu speed, or at least that used to be the case. I don't use them anymore.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. I was using the SD version, as I had a bootable CWM SD that I used to get into recovery. Once I loaded the emmc onto the SD card and flashed that, they showed up.
Thanks for all of the replies.
Nice!
Glad I was able to help-
Usually I am just getting all kinds of info and help for my own stuff here. Being able to pay that back is a good thing.
Be sure not to flash a cm7 nightly after you flash the kernel. If you do, you will flash there stock cnn kernel over the oc'Ed kernel

Actually a good point-
Nothing wrong with updating to the latest nightly but you WILL go back to having the stock CM7 kernel again.
Re-flashing the oc kernel fixes that problem, of course, but you'll need to reset max cpu speed and governor again.
I recently installed the SpeedMod for the Samsung Captivate. I went by the step-by-step instructions it gave me, downloaded Odin, and download the TAR file that contained the SpeedMod. I installed it and my phone successfully rebooted. The start-up screen was different but otherwise everything seemed faster when booting up. I went to double check to see if it really installed but under the kernel version it still said 2.6.32.9 . Is it suppose to say something about the SpeedMod? It said it would on the step-by-step instructions.
I also installed Voodoo for the sound problem before I flashed this kernel. Before it said I do not have the right kernel. After installation it has let me choose various options which leads me to think that the SpeedMod is installed. But it still does not say it under kernel version.
I am new to this and still do not fully understand everything. I am just learning as I go along. If anybody has any questions just let me know and I'll do my best to respond back and I can quickly understand this.
Firmware: 2.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: FROYO.UCKB1
Anymore information just let me know.
lol ... thanks..??

you certainly have speedmod kernel. the new version may not have the kernel version changed to show what it is but there would be no other way for the voodoo sound driver/module to get installed. you should also be able to get into cwm recovery now instead of 3e
Dani- What did you mean by your last line? What's 3e?
Truesselo - ? What
have you tried to make a phone call on that setup? my guess is that voice no longer works now because you didnt flash an i9000 modem to go along with the speedmod kernel
Phone calls work. They sound better actually due to the SpeedMod or Voodoo.
Did you actually go into the cwm menu and enable the tweaks and also enable your filesystem to write ext4>rfs? There is more under the hood that what you get out of the box there.

other way around rfs to ext4. but hes going to need more info than that.
boot into recovery! shut off> hold both volume buttons> then hold power> count to 3 AFTER the screen comes on before you let go.
now you are in speedmod kernel clockwork recovery! (dont use rom manager anymore if you did)
go to clockwork options > lagfix options > enable lagfix (convert to EXT4)
and select covert system to EXT4 > Yes
back, back
reboot
yes (let it do its thing and reboot)
yes (let it do its thing and reboot)
lagFIXED!!!
you will have to re-root! but theres an option in your kernel for that too!!
wait.... look in the CWM/ onix idiot guide in my signature. i made it! different color/ kernel but same options...
Thanks for the info! I actually tinkered with it and did exactly what you all stated on the recovery menu. I am actually master clearing everything now and going with serendipity 6.4. I am pretty sure SpeedMod will work with it? Right?
But I appreciate all the info. If SpeedMod is compatible, what settings do you recommend i tweak it to? I heard different things, but I want to know what you all think since you all know what you are doing lol. Plus, I've heard that JuiceDefender would be a good add-on to download?
Sorry for the questions but I'll learn quick and be up where you all are at soon......
Serendipity has speedmod already cooked in.
all of the previous mentioned tweaks are recommended
Juice defender imo doesn't help.
Stay away from juice defender it's not needed on 2.2 roms. That was good for 2.1, but not so much any more.

Few minutes ago, I flashed my SGS I9000 with webstar1's Ultimate ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854799, everything's going fine, and i'm pretty much satisfied with the functionality and such.
However, when i ran a speed check with Quadrant Standard, it shows that my speed is benchmarked at 1100. Before i used this ROM (was using stock), it was at 1700 with voodoo. Right now, voodoo is disabled because I created the disable_lagfix folder. Is it possible for me to enable voodoo? Or will it create some clash with the ROM itself and cause troubles to my phone?
Thanks for any help/advices that any experts could clarify, cheers.
Re-enable the lagfix by deleting the file. No, there shouldn't be any issues. This would however work if you're once again on the Voodoo kernel after flashing the new ROM. If you're not, flash that first.
And for the record, Quadrant doesn't mean squat!
Does that mean i should flash the voodoo kernel first, without remove the disable_lagfix folder? Or i should try removing the folder, and if any problems persist, then flash the kernel? If i feel that the experience using the ROM is smoothe, i shouldn't enable voodoo anyway i guess..
EDIT: I just notice the ROM comes with a kernel made by DamienGTO. Does that mean i have to re-flash the voodoo lagfix? Thanks for the help though, much appreciated!

It wouldn't matter either way. The lagfix would only activate on Voodoo kernel with the disable file/folder removed.
EDIT: DamianGTO's lagfix implementation is different, I believe. The Voodoo folder would have no significance when on that kernel. I would suggest you to stick with the new kernel over the basic Voodoo one. You can activate lagfix from CWM Recovery.
Trying to find an OC-capable kernel for the N7000 and can't seem to find one that actually lets you overclock. Even the ones that claim overclock compatibility fail to work in SetCPU.
Also, I'm not really clear on how CWM works on Samsung devices. There is no recovery partition? It's built into the *kernel*? WTF kind of design is that? On any HTC device I've owned, you flash CWM into recovery and that's the end of it; it's accessible from HBOOT or any number of other methods, but on Samsung devices it depends on what kernel you have installed in the /system partition? Huh? Am I misunderstanding this?
TIA.
Bumping this, since I first asked this question in General and had my thread locked and edit-deleted and was rudely told to take my question here, where I had a strong suspicion it would not be answered.
Franco kernel allows overclocking and it is for samsung/touchwiz roms.
goku kernel.
Sent via carrier pigeon
The last time I tried Franco (a month ago?) SetCPU did not recognize that it could go past 1.4 GHz. Goku apparently breaks CWM. Did I do something wrong in flashing Franco? As far as I can tell I simply followed the directions. Is there some common pitfall when flashing a kernel on Samsung devices?
EDIT: Also, Goku does not support overclocking. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710937
