I mean, maybe you can create a custom kernel for this device, you know maybe over clocking the GPU,
And is it really not possible to make a 64bit ROM for device? I saw some one on the other thread that it is not possible due to needing a lot of resources to work
It does have a 64bit processor
Maybe a custom kernel will help?
The specs are at the attach ments.

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.
i run linux at home but am by no means an expert, i was wondering if anyone has ever tried to incorperate dkms into android. it would be great to be able to change drivers in a kernel that is already on your phone. like voodoo sound. with new versions coming out all the time some kernel builders get the updates out faster than others, some kernels may work better on one phone or another but not include newest drivers supercurio is putting out.
would it be possible to make something like dkms compatable with android?
and if not where can i find information about compiling my own kernels for android?
DKMS is generally used for things like VGA drivers.. tried and true technologies... Legacy stuff... In the mobile world, the hardware of today is not used tomorrow. There are Kernel Modules (KO) files, but they are not DKMS. DKMS is used more for generic building. KO files load slower then standard kernel files.
When building for a mobile platform you always want the latest, greatest kernel, all manditory functions included, all options made as modules, and all others excluded. DKMS is used when you reuse the same hardware or functions over and over again. DKMS is basically for legacy use. You build something once and never have to build it again.
I dont' think it will make it's way onto phones until it's practical.
As the title implies I would like to continue using stock 3.2 ROM but would love a script or kernel that allows me to OC the CPU and GPU. I have seen firsthand all the amazing work that the community of pros here at XDA seem to deploy at regular intervals so I figured this would be an easy one. I wish I was as good at software as I am at hardware. Anyways, thank you in advance for your consideration, your time, and possibly your effort. I used to overclock my Iconia A500 all the time via nofrills and a custom kernel so I'm familiar with overclocking at least.
That doesn't make any sense. You cant have STOCK and CUSTOM at the same time.
In order to have a over-clockable device, you need a custom ROM.

Just a custom kernal should do.....atleast android phones in my exp, new to the streak so maybe im wrong
if you think it will work, use our custom working in my thread.
I've used several custom kernels to overclock (the most popular one was thor2002's kernel) with the stock ROM on the Acer Iconia running 3.0-3.2. Unless the Streak is very different it should run the stock ROM with a custom kernel as long as the kernel was written for 3.2. The problem I face is that the OC kernel I see was made for froyo and I didnt see a zipped folder with the kernel in that repository so I guess you want me to build it? I'm running windows so I am not familiar with that process. Thor would just list the newer versions as a .zip file, we'd download the zipped folder, go into recovery, seek, flash, reboot, and done.
i was doing the same but i moved to honeystreak its almost identical to stock with a few inporvments and i can say my ds7 is one of the lucky 1.8oc capable ones lol
Hi. I'm kinda new to all of these android stuff. I'm an ex iphone / symbian guy. I've already done a few things on my note like flashing stock firmwares through PC/Mobile odin and I've also managed to root my phone without any hitches. Heck I've also modded my gps.conf due to some issues with my gps locking.
I just have a question on Kernels and Roms. What are they and what are they for?
Please don't flame on me for being ignorant. Lol!

Basically the kernel is the core of the operating system (Android in this case) that is responsible for controlling the hardware components like the cpu, memory and display.
The ROM is the operating system itself, along with the various tools, themes, audio and video files and the file system layout.

Thanks bro! All the rom and kernel talk in the link you provided made me dizzy. Lol! Wanted to find a custom kernel that would be compatible with my rooted stock LB1 firmware. Wanna try changing my boot animation. From what I've read here in XDA, I'd need a kernel that would allow it.

Rom is the car you drive, and kernel is its engine.
Hello everyone
I'll get straight to the point. I was wondering if there's a custom rom that supports flashing different kernels or at least one kernel that supports undervolting.
I'm a heavy data user and along with display, they suck up all the juice.
I've already underclocked the phone and it did work a bit but i would like to try undervolting along with it.
Currently operating on CM 11
Thank you.

Unfortunatly there is no such kernel for s3 mini....undervolting is not possible atm
