Interested in overclocking my cpu. I have heard of people doing this at 1.2 GHz and still maintain stability and good battery life. Currently installed is Kernel version 2.6.32.9 after granting SetCPU su permission (and checking always allow) I find that the max overclock is at 1 GHz. Obvioulsy this is not a Kernel that can be overclocked. I tried installing some random Kernel I found online using Odin. This however failed during install and "bricked" my phone. I was able to Odin back to stock, re-root, and re-flash this ROM. Does anyone know of a Kernel that will work with this ROM and allow me to overclock? I really like this ROM so far and I want to keep it!
Thanks in advance,
Your best bet may be searching the Epic's wiki page for kernals. The sticky link is located in each of the Epic's forums.

there aren't any kernels right now for froyo because of no source from samsung/sprint
we have to wait till official 2.2 drops
Thanks I appreciate it iSaint! Is it worth flashing a 2.1 ROM and Kernel so that I can overclock or do you think that overclocking is overated and that this midNIGHT 3.1 (which is blazing fast compared to stock) is fast enough!...... I guess will I notice a huge difference after overclocking to 1.2 GHz?

no problem...if you want stability and speed then you cant argue with ACS syndicate 2.1 but i use MidNight which IMO is very fast and i've had zero problems with it so far there isn't really that much of a difference to me on 1.2-1 GHz but test them out and decide what you like 8)
Looks like I'll just stick with midNIGHT 3.1 for awhile. Any tweeks you know of that will improve speed and performance?

the no journaling mod but i think that flashes with the rom(not sure)
and i delete anything i dont use before i flash the zip
open it up system/app just dont delete anything important or necessary things i delete are (swype,browser i replace with dolphin,launcher2,live wallpapers) thats all i do bro
Thanks a lot, I've allready flashed the no journalling mod. But thanks anyway. All in all midNight is blazing fast and I'm very happy with that ROM. Have a good day!

2 cents here.
Personally 2.1 oc'd to 1.3 ghz on acs gave me more speed than midnight 3.1. Rummaging through the phone the advantages of rfs over ext4 are evident. But Playing games and multitasking goes to 2.1 acs @1.3 ghz for me. The phone flies at 1.3. Just try it. you have nothing to lose and you can easily flash back.
Ill definately give that a try. Is that 2.1 include the gps fix?

Hello,
I saw that there are kernels for the Nexus 7 making it able to overclock to 2Ghz
I dont really need the 2Ghz but 1.8Ghz is more then enough.
Is there a Kernel that allows CPU to 1.8Ghz and support MultiRom ?
Or is anyone working on it yet?
Pekeltje
as far as i can tell no kernel do over clocking more then 1.7 Ghz and you have to individually read the kernel discription inorder to determine their computability with ur preferred rom.
And please post questions in Q&A section.
I don't think that's possible.

It is possible to overclock to 1.8 GHz but looks like that only works with Android 4.1... 4.2 and up cause bootloops. You should still be able to overclock to about 1.6 GHz. However, even I am using MultiROM. I don't think you will be able to have MultiROM with a kernel which would let you overclock since it makes changes to the kernel for booting more that one system. I want to overclock too. :crying: Anyone help? Maybe manually editing the elite or motley kernel should let you do that.
You can OC to 1.6GHz and still have multirom on a number of kernels including oxydo, M-Kernel, faux etc.
Finally!

Just realised, the main thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403) has links to custom kernels. Motley takes you to 1.6. Anyone know how to take it beyond that?
I've installed ParanoidAndroid latest rom + Mkernel a46, and when I checked CPU statistics, my default max speed is set to 1500Mhz. Is that normal? Does this mean that my CPU is already overclocked from stock 1,3 Ghz?

You installed a custom kernel but didn't even read about it?
- Note: Tegra sets the max frequency to 1.5Ghz at boot, make sure to change it manually or have an app set it at boot to avoid battery loss.

That is not the case here. OP is using an alpha release of m-kernel, which must be downloaded separately. One needs to at least perform their own due diligence and not go blindly flashing something.

Hi!
I'm very confused now. I have find out that devs have had really hard time trying to overclock s5360. I have been told that only Merruk 2.5 (OC 1.2Ghz) kernel is really overclocked and others just look like overclocked but they really are locked to 832Mhz. Is it really so? Is Maroc-OS's previously beta file (900Mhz) just placebo?
EDIT:
Here is Maroc-OS's answer to question: "Is the OC real or not?"
Background:
SGY has BCM21553 CPU which is running at 832Mhz with two frequencies (312Mhz, 832Mhz) as default. However there are some devices which are running at 1Ghz by default with the same CPU (BCM21553). That is why Maroc-OS wanted to OC his kernel.
First of all irfanbagus made a patch for s5360 to open additional freqs. Then Maroc-OS made a merruk beta file based on that patch. With that beta file you can "OC" stock and Savie #73 kernel to 900Mhz. However Maroc-OS and other devs found out that the beta file was not real OC because you can't OC BCM21553 with irfanbagus' patch. You can only add lower than 832Mhz freqs with that patch. Then Marok-OS decied to make new kernel.
Marok-OS built Merruk 2.0 which is "OC" to 1Ghz but again he found out that is was not real OC. Then he decied to try OC by different way. After much development Maroc-OS realesed first really overclocked MerrukTechnology Developer Edition V.2.5 kernel. However some people started to argue that even Merruk V2.5 kernel is not real OC. You can read the whole conversation about that starting from here to here. Maroc-OS made pretty clear that OC is working.
Then everybody noticed that AnTuTu or any other bechmark scores didn't raise up with OC (like they should). Some tester said that they can feel to faster performance and some people say that they didn't. Here Maroc-OS say that the OC doesn't work correctly but I guess that means that the kernel is not stable yet.
After same serious work Maroc-OS realesed updates to his V2.5 kernel and some people report better AnTuTu scores. Still there were some devs who said that OC is not working. Maroc-OS's final aswer to that argue is here.
That answer is what I find interesting. Maroc-OS said that the OC is semi working. When the freq is changed to over 832Mhz (1.248Ghz for example) the CPU tries to change it back to 832Mhz. Maroc-OS made the kernel to change freq back to over 832Mhz as quickly as possible. That means:
Maroc-OS said:
when the governor try always to swich to it randomly and back to 832 if he did it 20 times in a sec we got it working but not fully working one )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the freq is jumping between OC freq and 832Mhz. That means that OC is semi working. Maroc-OS wanted to make it fully working but never got that far because he just left from here xda.
However people didn't stop talk about is OC real or not. Here is people's opinion (link, link, link) You can read more starting from here to here. Then continue reading from here to here. Then you can check from here to here. Lastly you should check from here to here
This is the last post where Maroc-OS say something about OC.
Then let's talk little bit about other OC kernel. First one after Merruk kernel was Maroc-OS team member Mohamed.Anwar with eXtreme kernel (OC at 1Ghz). This is what Mohamed.Anwar said when Maroc-OS left. After all it turns out that Mohamed.Anwar used irfanbagus's patch to OC like Maroc-OS first did with merruk beta file. That means that eXtreme kernel is not real OC kernel.
Then there were Eve's kernel. The dev itself say that he/she doesn't know if the OC is working or not. He/she used some sources from Merruk kernels but I don't know is it really working or not. Many people say that is not real OC. Then there are Jarvis kernel and AXIOM kernel but they are based on Eve's kernel. Again, many people say that they are not real OC.
So you have to make your own conclusion about is the OC real or not!
Ps. The latest and most stable Merruk V2.5 #206 can be found from here and here but the latest modules are here.
most likely any oc is a placebo in 5360 - when I tested it I noticed no difference in performance
The phone may report its overclocked but most likely it isnt

Can you tell me why they (OC) are placebo? Does it have something to with that bcm21553 has some lock code at 832Mhz? But why there are phone with same CPU at 1Ghz? If those phones are 1Ghz why s5360 cannot be oc atleast 1Ghz?

You are wrong. OC may decrease your phones lifetime but manufacturers never push their products to their limits. There is always possibility to OC little bit but not too much. Too much OC will harm your phone. But we can do always something. Proof of that with bcm21553 is that there are phones with frequency 1Ghz by default.

Proof it!
I have now read to whole development thead of merruk kernel. I figured out that there are only couple guys saying that oc is not working. Maroc-os and others never said that is not working. I'm not dev but I figured out that there was some problems with bcm21533 lock code (HW something) but I guess that mMroc-os made it (semi) working. So why people are saying that it's not working. Where are yours proof?

someone took into account what I said? Would not there a way to check the cpu clock? I tested the kernel merruk and Jarvis also both when applied 1248Mhz literally accelerate small GY.
Not so dev but if I remember well the only thing that prevents the oc Gy would not that file apuclock something? (remember that time does not move with the gy sources).
Try this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384985
overclock to 1.2GHZ.
Simple way to check is first be at normal 832MHz and do a benchmark.
Then switch OC kernel and set OC at max. Do another benchmark.
DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING BAD HAPPENED TO YOUR PHONE. DO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Compare both benchmark scores.
That will sort out the thing whether OC is real boost or just a placebo.
I would like to open this thead again now because Maroc-os is back! I have tested all these oc kernels and they are good, no doubt about that. Thanks to the devs! I'm just wondering that are they really overclocked over 832Mhz ? I mean they are great but is the faster performance effect due overclocked frequencies (over 832Mhz) or something else? It woudl be really nice if Maroc-os and other great devs would say something about it.
Here is the list of oc kernels (what I know):
- Axiom 1.0 (1.2Ghz)
- Eve.121_4 (1.2Ghz)
- Jarvis v2.2 #29 (1.2Ghz)
- Merruk 2.5 (1.2Ghz), MerrukTechnology 2.0 PRE-FINAL (1024Mhz), Merruk beta (OVERCLOCK SGY.zip) (900Mhz)
- eXtreme Kernel (1.0Ghz)
Ps. You can also "overclock" stock kernel and Savie #73 kernel to 900Mhz with merruk beta file. (check this post)
