this maybe a dumb question, but i'm still learning. I'm running the CM10 nightly roms and i've noticed that the max clock speed is 1188, is there no way to overclock the vivid?
Can you overclock with the Pac-man rom?

Has to do with the Kernel... if you use the kernel that Homeslice made than you can over clock on CM10, in other words it is not rom specific it is kernel specific.
Should be able to find the Homeslice kernel in the PAC-Man thread.

Thank you, another dumb question though. Do you just flash the kernel the same way you flash gapps with the Rom in recovery? And this can be done at any time?
Depends on if your device is s-off or not. S-off = same as gapps. S-on there are about three different ways to do it.

Unfortunately, I'm s-on...
Can anyone point me in the direction how to flash a kernel with S-on?

Use the all-in-one toolkit in the development section

Or since your rooted download the flashimage GUI.apk (free in our themes and app section) and use that app
Here's a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20926830
We should look into seeing if we can somehow make a script and add it in a Rom that would do this while flashing...I'm sure its possible, just gotta add the files then add the commands to the updater script -this would eliminate the difficulty for s-on users
Tomorrow ill look into it since I get out of school early (10 am ) and have no work tomorrow

That's not like the HTC dumlock thing is it? A script would make things a lot easier for s-on ppl

I don't think that they'll be able to push a full boot.img through recovery while s-on, however they may be able to push the zImage, which should be all that's necessary for kernel changes anyway. So the script would have to disassemble the boot.img and flash the zImage. I don't know for sure if s-on can flash zImages through recovery or not though. At the least, we could force it to reboot to bootloader after flashing so it's waiting for fastboot flash, or we could pack the boot.img in a ph39img.zip that would flash in bootloader? That wouldn't be too bad (or would that need s-off too????).
Idk..I'm gonna decompile the app and see how it actually works after school

Has anyone used the HTC vivid S-OFF tool kit from the same guy who made the all in one tool kit?
What's the process for making my device s-off? Do I have to reflash recovery and my rom again after or can I just do the s-off process and reboot?

Kinda new to the android os, coming from windows 7 and windows mobile before. First, i have a HTC Vivid.....I am currently still running the vivd stock rom...I have rooted it with S-off, and have flashed a few different Kernels. Doesnt matter witch kernel i use, if i try to set the CPU to a higher MHz it seams to only show 1188 as the max. A couple of the kernels are suppose to run little bit higher than that, like for one, the KangBang kernel is rated at 2.0 with S-off, but i still only get 1188 option as the max. Now, with these apps like SetCPU really able to change and or adjust the CPU frequency?
Thanks!!

Before flashing a custom kernel you have to first flash an insecure boot.IMG. if you want oc. Go to my kernel thread and down load the stockish kernel. Extract the holiday.IMG from the zip and flash it in fastboot.
It may be flashable in recovery selecting the holiday option when the installer asks. After doing this you should be able to flash any oc kernel of your choosing. You only have yo flash the insecure boot.IMG once. Afterwards you shouldn't ever need to do it again.

Thank you! Didn't see anywhere about having to do that, will try that when I get home today. I'm guessing that after I flash that .IMG I need to reflash the kernel too? The kernels work really good without oc but just wanted to tinker...boy I tell ya, I'm really liking android over windows that's for sure

Yes sir that is correct....i went ahead and wiped my data after i couldnt get it boot. So i guess i got to start over now.. I downloaded your pegasus rom, but not to sure how to install rom yet but am working on figuring that out. Do you have instructions to install your rom?
All the other stuff , unlocking bootloader, perm root, and s-off was pretty simple...

You just flash my ROM in recovery. I'd advise selecting stockish kernel when asked as the installer can be picky about what recovery you use for kozmikkernel.

Thanks for your help buddy, everything went really smooth.....im loving your rom very much so!!!
So I've had my phone for over a year now, am s-off and flashed numerous ROMs, but not quite sure what the hboot is? I am s-off via alpha rev and currently running 4ext recovery touch. I have hboot 1.09.1000, but some new ROMs are saying I need blackrose to flash, especially tpblake's new ROMs. Is this the case as not really keen on changing my hboot, considering I don't even know what it is!
Thanks in advance from a rather sheepish member

In your case, the AlphaRevX HBOOT 1.09.1000 is what is allowing your phone to be S-OFF. Another term for HBOOT is the bootloader.
In your case, you are running a modified bootloader that has the SECURITY_FLAG turned OFF, thus the acronym S-OFF.
Can I flash with this or should I update to blackrose as you say in your ROM thread

You can flash most of the custom ROMs with your current HBOOT just fine. You could easily upgrade to BlackRose just fine without losing anything. It is really up to you. What do you want to flash?

Yes then you will need to upgrade your HBOOT to BlackRose in order to flash the stock, rooted ICS ROMs I have posted.
Go read the BlackRose link I posted on the stock, rooted ICS ROM thread.

Yep all installing blackrose involves, provided that you have set up for it is for you to click on the .exe and it does it all for you. I for one was amazed by the simplicity when I finally flashed it yesterday. Not much to be scared of (I was a bit scared of playing with partitions and hboots)

Hey.
Managed to s-off my HTC incredible s with revolutionary, All works well and no issues. But what are the bennifits of this? Can I flash any rom made for my incS with out fastbooting the boot.img? I'm confused because some roms still don't boot.
Thanks :thumbup:

Yes with Revolutionary S-OFF you will be able to flash custom ROMs while in recovery without needing to manually flash the boot.img in FASTBOOT mode.
There are several reasons why some ROMs may not boot. If you allowed Revolutionary to install Revolutionary CWM recovery, then that is an older version. You may want to install 4EXT touch recovery instead. In other cases, the ROMs have specific wipe instructions that you must follow before you flash the ROM. If you do not follow them, it could cause issues with the ROM.
If you have problems with specific ROMs, then I would search the ROM's thread to see if others have run into the issue or if more detailed process may have been posted based on users' experiences.
Okay thanks, I don't use clockwork mod I had flashed 4EXTRecovery flashed with recovery.img. I will give a look into into it and play with some roms then get back to you. Thanks

All of this android stuff is rather new to me, so recently I have been messing around with roms and what not. My first rom was wajees rom which was working, except for the 4g, so i went to go back to the default. For some reason my kernal didn't go back and I dont have a copy. So, does anyone have the default kernal for 4.0.3? thanks.
If you are s-on I suggest faux's kernel.... If you are s-off I recommend kozmik's...
If s-on... You have to manually put the bcmdhd.ko from faux's zip into /system/lib/modules to make your WiFi work

While I agree with you, that's not really what he asked for. If you want the default kernel, you can find here as posted by Kozmikkick.

Is there no other files for this kernel...like the wifi module etc... is it just the boot.img?

The zimage (the kernel info and whatnot) is all stored in the boot.img.
However, some kernels need to be modified before it fully works with a select ROM as clearly demonstrated by Kangaroo Kernel by Markj. Z14 may not be fully compatible with a certain ROM and possibly break WiFi or something. Always make backup before flashing a new kernel so that you have something to fall back on in case something breaks.
sorry for a noob question.
actually i have recently been familiar with flashing kernels.
so anybody, pls. tell me what is the speciality of this kernel??
rather how to choose correct kernel for my phone??
i know how to backup rom.
kindly help!!!
is backing up a kernel the same process??
Actually I didn't care about backing up my kernel I just flashed it using 4ext recovery app so easy
