How to flash custom kernal - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Pardon my asking, but I want to flash a kernel to achieve a higher clock speed (overclock). How do I go about doing so? Install from SD via clockwork mod recovery? Or do I put it into the cminstall folder and use ACMEinstaller.
Im clearly a noob, thanks for your help.

All the current kernel its out of date, so if you try to flash with the latest custor ROM it doesn't work

The way I flash a kernel is through cwm, install Zip. I wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.
You can overclock the stock kernel. You have to use something like antutu benchmark (free) or set cpu (paid), though I think if you're an XDA member you can get it free.
I have mine set at 1.7 max, 384 min.

You can OC the stock CM9 kernel to 1.78 with an OC app. I like system tuner pro because you can force both cores online.
But if you want a custom kernel, download it as a flash able .zip (which they all are) and install .zip through clockwork mod in moboot.

+1 for system tuner pro. that app is pretty effin sick. and yes the force both cores online at boot is nice. for some reason they wont both come up at boot.

[Q] UV/OC

Hey guys I'm a bit new to OC/UV and I need a little clarification regarding it. I'm using Onix Kernel on Andromeda3 overclocked to 1.2 ghz and lets say I wanted to switch the rom or kernel. Is it necessary to delete the settings? Do I just delete the app before flashing the new kernel/rom?
Nope, no need to uninstall the voltage control app. Just flash your new kernel and you'll be good to go. Be aware that if you open the app again on a kernel that does not allow oc, you'll get a friendly " bazinga" message telling you that the kernel is not supported.

It is not necessary sometimes, But sometimes it is. Especially if the voltages for the kernel change at ll, that would make your previous 'stable' settings possibly not so stable- resulting in a bootloop or any other crashing. Its always safe practice to remove your boot settings before flashing a new kernel. If that kernel is OC/UV capable and your settings stick, but aren't good for that particular build- you may find yourself having to delete those settings anyway.
You can grab the file in my sig and flash from recovery if you accidentally save settings as boot- or forget to remove your settings- It's a nice gem to have on your SD card if your an Overclocker. NOTE: It will only flash in CWM3.x. So if your running a gingerbread ROM- you can use the zip file

[Q] May i know how to Overclock Samsung Ace to 900++MHZ

May i know how u guys Overclock your Samsung Ace to 900++ MHZ?
Search the development thread for the kernel patch. You must be on cyanogenmod for the kernel to work.
If you need help for flashing I will not offer that help, you gotta read and learn.
Currently I'm using Cyanogenmod 7.1 (Version 2.4.7) I click on setting there , i just saw Max 800 mhz only...
Even stupid SetCPU app with CF-Root kernel allows it. You don't have to be on Cyanogen, that is bull****. I have flashed Galaxy Ace to my mother and my cousine with GLSMT ROM 2.1, which do have overclocking built-in even without SetCPU. But if you wish to overclock your Ace with Stock ROM, follow theese stepps:
1) Download OneClick Root app to your computer
2) In the Phone Settings, Applications, turn on USB debug mode
3) Plug your phone to your PC using usb cable (and wait till windows installs drivers)
4) Run OneClick Root app, and root your phone with it.
5) OneClick Root will overwrite your kernel with CF Root kernel.
6) After reboot, install SetCPU from Market
7) Search the Market for Superuser app, and install/update it.
8) Place SetCPU widget on your desktop.
9) After tapping it, you can set your desired frequency.

He's so condescending for someone so ignorant.
Superoneclick can't install kernels and much less a kernel install on a Samsung not in download or recovery mode.
And the cf root kernel doesn't even have overclock.
People like this make this place lousy sometimes.

why bother overclocking? it'll only fry your cpu
instead try the v6 supercharger tweak, it improves speed

1. download this OC kernel by ketut.kumajaya
2. flash it using cwm
3. go to cyanogenmod setting and set the cpu as u wish...dont make it too high or your phone will reboot instantly..

As per above, I've been trialing the ketut OC kernel.
The key for all those who are still "learning" is pushing it up one step at a time, if your phone crashes you have found your limit.
If it doesn't, reboot for it to be "completely applied" and then check in the Cynogen mod settings > performance to ensure the OC has applied properly.
So far i've got it at 944mhz without crashing, on CM7.2 with ketut OC kernel, alot of testing has been done and bench mark averages around 2000, when standard kernal does around 1500 average.
Best of luck and Try not to fry your cpu

Also, if you want a faster device, why on Earth did you purchase the Ace in the first place? You can get a decent second hand Galaxy S for less money...
And you won't notice much difference with a mere 100 or so MHz extra...except the heat output.

You have more potential breakages with overclocking rather than flashing.

You cannot overclock just by using an app, you have to flash a custom recovery.

Make sure you download the correct kernel. If you are on Stock rom, download sense kernel. Installation process is given there.
Once that is done, install an app called 'SetCPU' or 'NoFrillsCPU'. It will help you to adjust the cpu speed.

Different devices run different clocks. If your phone cant handle it it will simply bootloop indicating you should use a lower frequency.
The only way you can damage your device when flashing kernels it is if you spill a bottle of water on it lol

overclocking isn't something you can just do. you flash a kernel with a higher clock speed, the stock kernel can't be overclocked in any way. do your homework next time mate
Oops.. My bad. I said custom recovery instead of kernel sorry..
No, flashing a kernel will not wipe any data. It can have a whole lotta benefits over your stock phone..
From the link I gave you earlier, look for sense kernel, latest version and download it. I think it's version 7..

Read that thread carefully.. It's pretty simple.
Once you have flashed the kernel(.img file) get the setcpu app or no frills Cpu app.

If you have an old back up (of stock) go to recovery , "Advanced Restore" and then choose "Boot" .
Or you can simply re-flash the JB *.kdz file as you did before (when you update from ICS to JB) and them re-root the phone using OS_Hacking's tool (All-In-One) .

If you are playing games then the phone will get hot - nothing you can do about it really. You could lower the CPU and GPU speed, but then the games won't play as well.
Ok. Im Just affraid it gets hot to the point of damaging the Phone. How do i lower the clock speeds to stock? Is there any App? Sorry for the noob questions. Im new to this phone. Theres no way i can find a flashable stock kernel via cwm to 20a?

If the phone overheats it shuts down (86°C default) you can't damage it unless you remove these limits.
Riptide is quite heavy game so heating is normal
Tnx man.
Still no chance someone makes a 20a version CWM flashable Kernel?
This way would be much easier do experiment with kernels.
Is there some optimized kernel with Stock CPU/GPU clock?

[Q] Droid a855 overclock in 2013

first off let me say i am not new to rooting or overclocking. i have a original droid a855 and i have rooted it and want to over clock it, but the problem is that all the downloads i could find were megaupload links and we all know about what happend to that. so i was wondering if anybody knows where to get the evilboot kernals or is there and other over clockiing methods that will allow over 800mhz, Please help!!!! Thank You
Give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pt.com.darksun.milestoneoverclock
tried that
i already tried that and it only lets me get to 800mhz which is still better than 550mhz, but i want 1ghz. i started with this guide, it wont let me post a the link but if you google droid a85 overclock scroll down and click on the one that starts with *release* that is the guide that im trying to use
but all the links are megaupload i got the evilboot1ghz but i cant find the flash image indicated in the guide. and i flashed sp recovery and then it would not recognize the battery so i then i flashed FRG89G and that fixed the problem. but the cause of the problem was that i used a 2.1 sp recovery on a 2.2.3 install. So what i need is the 1ghz flash image that is in the guide and a sp recovery that will work on 2.2.3 please help. Thanks
Have you checked the custom roms for the droid? I'm not really aware of them as I own a Milestone, but in the Milestone CM roms, there is an option to set the min/max cpu values. It's easier and more safe than flashing all kind of hacks.

I would recommend taking a look at Prime's deprimed kernel which can be downloaded from here, it allows you to customize the overclocking, voltage, etc. When my Droid 1 was my daily driver phone I used Prime's De-primed kernel and it offered excellent performance running at 1.0 GHz, other people have been able to stably set it to 1.25 GHz as well. For more information on Prime's De-primed kernel and how to use it's features I would recommend checking out this thread.
Sorry it took me so long to get back, That looks very promising and i guess ill try it out

Your sure you flashed the kernel zip in recovery correctly right? I would also take a look at this post here from Prime that tells you how to use his kernel it's possible that the other features and scripts of his kernel will work for you.
i have clock work mod recovery and i install the zip from there and the i tried the comands but it didnt work, but in setcpu or the cm7 performance settings it will allow 1ghz and the bumblebee governer. So i dont know if i should just use that or what???????

If you see that options to use the 1 GHz clock speed and bumblebee governor are available in SetCPU then you can use SetCPU and that should work fine. SetCPU is what I always used to use to tweak Prime's de-primed kernel after flashing the kernel.
Thank You for the help , ive been running it at 1ghz and bumblebee for a while now and it is sooooooooooooooo much better than stock
