This thread is somewhat different from others. I am fully aware that overclocking requires a custom kernel however with the Application "Galaxy Tuner" my CPU on my SGS i9000 can go 1.2GHZ with a custom Voodo Kernel not supporting Overclock. I am not sure what method the guy uses and he only allows it to be used 2 minutes at a time, so I was wondering if this would be just as risky / safe to do as going into a new kernel and doing such.
If the first is not possible and I would have to use a custom kernel as it is safer, please PM me some kind of contact information as I am afraid I will break my Phone as I use a custom Voodo kernel + DArkys EXTREME ROM 9.X
Still need to know wheter or not it is safe to overclock the way the application "Galaxy Tuner" does or if its SAFER to do it with a custom OC'ing kernel.
If last, I need some help over Skype / msn

I wouldn't expect anything, just because people like me view it doesn't mean we know anything about it.....why don't you email the author of the app.

Exactly, views don't mean answers! It can be frustrating seeing a lot of views and no answer, but you must acknowledge that viewers may be looking for the answer themselves or just plain don't know. Be patient.
Well. Still, I am wondering about the overclocking that The application uses (Galaxy Tuner) because it manages to overclock a phone WITHOUT a custom OC'ing kernel. Hence i am wondering if it is just as SAFE to do as using a custom kernel.
If not, I need some guidance as I dont know how I can switch my kernel and update my ROM
The code to overclock existed on stock kernel sources apparently, it was just commented out.
When OC in this app is enabled, the CPU governor is changed to performance, and the clocks were changed. So I'd wager it's equivalent in terms of safety to a custom kernel.
Why only do the above for 5 minutes at a time when a custom kernel allows you to always have an overlclock? Just use a custom kernel..
I'm using a custom kernel to overclock to 1.2ghz and my battery is exactly the same as it's always been. I'm also underclocking to 100mhz with setCPU when the phone is idle so that's a big help. It's perfectly stable on mine but CPUs can differ so I suggest that if you do flash a custom kernel with overclock that you start lower and stress test just to make sure there are no issues. Also, don't save any voltage control settings as default until you have applied and stress tested.
Also, make sure to keep a spare kernel in zip form and always have backups.
I use super optimized kernel. Though I am looking for a 500-1000 HZ OC kernel. Any suggestion?
I don't know what method this app is using, but just due to my own paranoia I would say using a kernel with OC is safer. Too many horror stories of apps bricking phones due to small errors or badly written instructions.
Beyond that, it just takes experimenting. I am currently using DamienGTO's Ultimate Kernel OCed to 1200 and have had no problems with it, but there are a lot of high quality kernels available down in the Android Development forum. I suggest you install SGS Kernel Flasher from the market (a great app, makes kernel flashing painless and dead simple), download the newest versions of each kernel that says it supports OC, and spend a day flashing and testing. Just remember to disable any OC/UV, lagfixes or tweaks between flashings.
Is there anyone that knows where to find or plan to port bln kernel on our i9001??
as far as i know,bln depends on the bln.c file and the liblights module
ask someone like manveru0 or neldar to help

I've once included it testwise in my kernel. I was too lazy to compile new liblights so I've taken them from the internet. Anyway the whole thing freezed my device everytime I activated bln.
There are several reasons why I've not included bln till today:
1. You need an extra tool just to activate bln thus another service running and more memory used.
2. You need to change your liblights which ain't a problem so far. But what if you wanna go back to a non bln version? You then need to copy the old liblights back to your device.
Anyway BLN has definitely not the top priority in kernel patching for the moment (reducing battery drain is more important right now).
Ok thanks a lot .
I'll wait until then, because i'm so interested on that but i have no idea or enougth knowledge to do it.
It's been a while since November. Any progress in this issue? Dou you need people to test?
I asked sakindia123 in its kernel post, because this feature has to be included in a kernel and his is the only custom kernel available, besides from the stock-mod by crybert.
Well manveru0's Feamod kernel is also customized. And he already tried it but found it low priority.
Sent from my GT-I9001 using XDA App
So maybe you could try contact him but if already tried and dismissed the idea...
I don't know why he finds it low priority when it's one of the most important features in the galaxy S series' custom kernels.
In fact, it's what i miss the most from the SGSII or SGS i9000.
well since manveru0 quited the GT-i9001 dev team could be anyone else to try add (at least) BLN to our "unwanted SGS child" aka SGS+ ?
Hi again,
I need to find a kernel that has DM_CRYPT included/enabled. Is it possible to find that, just kernel and stay on stock GB? Or do i have to flash a custom rom, if so, which do have DM_CRYPT? Hope someone can assist me quickly, since this depends on wether if i'll keep the note or not...
Thanks!
it would be kernel related not rom related, you would have to see if a dev woudl put this into a kernmel for you but why do you need it?
Some apps need it. And i need them. I heard that all Honeycomb roms have it, so i guess ICS too. But i'm not gonna take risks since i might return it. And i don't have much time... How am i supposed to i "contact a dev" to request that? Is that a request board? If i'm alone to request it won't happen anyway.
Abyss kernel (v3.1) is compiled with CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=y . Since there is nothing about it in the changelog, I expect the latest version also has this option enabled.
Thanks! I'm gonna try it then. But what's difference between CW Touch & RedPill? I know CW Touch of course... But not RedPill. Anyway, if i flash this, Custom Rom Manager (from CF-Root) won't work anymore, eh? I can switch kernel, no risk? If anyone know other kernel with DM CRYPT , please post! ^^
PS: If it's just a line to edit "CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=y" then can't i just do it somehow on any kernel?
EDIT: I installed 4.2 and the app which required dmcrypt still refuse... If it was loaded, then should work directly, eh?
I'm sorry but i forgot a thing : "Loopback device" is required too, i guess this is some setting in the kernel..? Or is it something else? If so tell me what please Abyss doesn't work, i tested 3.5 too (can't test older since megaupload's dead... If you have links...) :X
Im left with the kernel source for my device and the dev told me its good to update msm_fb and other stuff to make it more usable...
anyone can help me with that!!im looking and taking some commits from various gits but im stuck to this cause i can't find the same diffs for my device...if anyone have msm_7x30 device and willing to give me some hints...i need to make the device more snapier on 4.2.2 cm and a bit faster as it can be cause its single core...but even on 1400mhz its still laggy!!!
Any help i will be greatful! thanks!!
i think you have to study commits in github done on similar kernel for device.msm_7x30.
Hi all,
I have a rooted sm-t810 running stock marshmallow kernel 3.10.9.8374498 and I have been trying for a long time to add support for my xbox 360 wireless dongle and controllers.
I read a lot online about it and it seems that I need to load a specific module (xpad.ko) that is not available by default in my kernel.
However I have no idea where to find one that is compiled and compatible with my kernel and I have absolutely zero experience with compiling the kernel and/or the module from source, I wouldn't know where to begin or what to do about it.
From what I understand I should download the source of my kernel in a linux desktop, compile the module in it, copy the compiled module to my decide and run insmod it, but again, I have zero experience in all this.
Could somebody help me by giving me the compiled xpad.ko for my kernel?
If not, could you tell me step by step what should I do it to do it myself assuming im a total ignorant in kernels,modules, their compilation, the specifics about android, and everything around it ?(before yesterday I didn'teven ever rooted my tablet )
Thank you in advance if anybody is willing to help!
Cheers,
Mastro
