[Q] Overclocking and Agnostic CM7 OS - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm wondering if I'm able to install an Overclock Kernel with this.
I'm using the Size-Agnostic SD Card image that loads CM7's latest build from the SD Card.
So I don't even know if the kernel would work for that, if so, how do I get it back to where I can select the kernal by booting with the SD Card? Obviously if I put another boot SD Card in it wouldn't work because the OS is missing.
Any help would be great, I'm just a little confused on all of this.
Thanks!

I've running dal's 4/24 OC kernel and it's great! You do have to update the kernel via adb (as opposed to just flashing a zip); see DizzyDen's excellent instruction in post #2231 of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451&page=224
Good luck!

Hmmm......okay. I didn't do anything with ADB, according to this thread (They way I did the Install):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I only had to replace the uImage file. And I did that on my PC before putting the card back in my nook. Changed the top speed to 925 rather than 800, and the min is set to 300. Thanks for letting me know about ADB!! I've got to get my PC setup to do that, I always get an error when trying to run it.

I feel your pain. Initially I tried to manually replace the uImage only and then I got into trouble with quadrant -- see the top of post #2231 in the link I gave you. DizzyDen points out that addition files need to be updated (see post #2258 of the same thread), which is where ADB comes in (the quadrant went away after I updated the kernel via ADB).

Soo.....what's quadrant? I'm guessing a benchmark utility?
Also did you see increased battery life with the Overclocking?
I really only read on my Nook Color, so I'm hoping that it keeps it right around the 300Mhz and will increase the life.

You can run the 4/4 stable overclock kernel by just replacing the Uimage, it works fine as that is what I did. That procedure does not work with the test kernels though, and you apparently have to use the adb push method above.

Are the nightlys considered test kernels?

My problem with ADB right now is that I've got Java SDK installed, but when installing the ADB kit it says that I DON'T have it installed....huh??

No. CM7 nightly builds come with their own kernels. The OC kernels are what you put on to replace them. That is why, every time you update a new nightly, you need to reinstall the OC kernel.
The latest stable OC kernel is dated 4/4, the latest OC test kernel is dated 4/24.
For OC kernels up to 4/4, you can simply replace the uImage and you will have an OC kernel. For the test OC kernels, you will also need to adb push the system files that come with it or you will not be able to boot.

Quadrant is a benchmarking app, yes.
Battery life would depend on how you set the CPU parameters. There should not be any difference between non-OC or OC kernels if you set max cpu cap at 800/950Mhz. But why limit it when you run an OC kernel?
Even if you set max cpu at 1.1/1.3Ghz with the OC kernel, you can set the governor at Conservative and on light usage it will not ramp up a lot.

Okay, thanks.
I'll just keep the one I have, it doesn't seem like I need to have it done via ADB, I don't plan on using my Nook Color as a tablet, I would rather have it clocked down to save battery.

Battery life: What's the best mod/kernel combo for the N1?

Let me start off by saying I'm kind of a beginner regarding phone rooting/modding/anything. My last phone was a Nokia. So if you need any more information from me, just ask
I'm currently using Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 (with the kernel that comes with it), holding off on updating to 5.0.6 as I'm hearing about a whole lot of issues with it.
Since rooting and installing Cyanogen, my battery life is about 60% of what it was when I was using stock. The phone is slightly faster and has more memory available at a time (checked using advanced task killer), which is nice, but the battery is awful. I hardly ever saw the battery in the red-zone until I started using Cyanogen.
My battery lasted, with moderate use, about 24 hours+ pre-mod and around 12 hours post-mod. I won't start explaining what moderate use is to me, since the only comparison I'm making is to myself pre-mod, and I had the same amount of use back then.
Today I'm attempting to fully drain the battery and then fully charge it (plus delete the battery stats). In case that doesn't help things, my question is this:
If any of you are getting great battery life out of your Nexus Ones, which MOD/kernel combos are you using?
I'd also appreciate if someone could link me to a tutorial on how exactly I'd go about installing a different kernel (for instance if I have to wipe first, if I have to install a different kernel-less version of a mod later, etc.) As I said, I'm a beginner
Thanks!
Right now:
CyanogenMod 5.0.6 and intersectRaven's 800mV Kernel
Great batterylife so far! Were using 5.0.5.3 with PsyQ's UC/OC non AVS Kernel and it was really impressive!
But it differs almost every week

Thanks man,
I noticed that your Android build is ERE54B. Mine's only ERE36B. Could that have anything to do with it?
Also, how much life are you getting out of your battery?
I dont think it matters..
Well, it always depends how much I use it.. mostly a full day with some internet, much twitter, some calls, some messages and some shots with the cam..
I get up to two days when i rarely use it
How do I go about installing a new kernel?
Fastboot and adb.

Typically the WiFi will break if you flash a new kernel.
So, this is what I do:
Put bcm4329.ko into whatever folder ADB is in and put zImage in whatever folder fastboot is in. Go into cmd. Type:
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules
adb reboot bootloader
Once rebooted type:
fastboot-windows flash zimage zImage
fastboot-windows reboot
Supposedly, you don't have to type windows, but I do for some reason on XP...
Hope that helped.
- Enomther ROM
- IntersectRaven AVS kernel
Thanks everyone.
I did the drain/recharge thing and it doesn't seem to have worked.
Can I install a different kernel without wiping the phone? As in, if I already have a mod installed?

Kernels can be installed with no wipe most of the time. If you have trouble, you may need to wipe.
So far really good results with cm 506 and psyq_2.6.33-2.diet_kernel_AVS_850mv

you do have to type 'fastboot-windows' bc that's what the file is named, if you got it from modaco, lol. just change the filename in the tools folder from 'fastboot-windows' to 'fastboot'. heck, you could change the name to 'bob', then your command would be 'bob flash zimage zImage'. which makes me laugh.
to address the kernel thing, i'm running intersectraven's most recent avs kernel, and enonthomer's 1.8.1 ROM. i find that i have been getting pretty good battery life. but, i don't use wifi unless i'm home, and then usually it's plugged into my pc charging. i also don't leave sync on, or background data, or any form of 'my location'. i just turn those on when i absosmurfly need them.

SetCPU on Incredible?

Ok, i have a fully rooted incredible with SetCPU installed. I have profiles enabled and setup but when i change the main profile the current clockspeed is always higher. Also, the min/max at the top right never change from 998mhz max and 250 min. Do i need a special kernel or something to use setcpu? i have it under the nexus one/snapdragon profile btw. and its 1.5.4

Looks like only simple switches like "performance, userspace, etc" and for some reason advanced settings will make a difference. I believe persistent/kernel-level switches not provided for in the UI cannot work at present because we can't write to the build.prop, user.conf, or init.rc.
P.S., the DI's processor is upgraded from N1's. Same product line, newer model.
So im out of luck until a new kernel is out? Ok. But if i get a new kernel, will i be able to keep the default os or does that require a new rom?
Give 1.6 a try. Maybe it works for you.

Nope, even in 1.6 direct throttling still does/can not work, but seems like selecting userdata, performance, or ondemand has an effect on where the processor speed averages
You will need a overclocked kernal for SetCPU to work.
You DO NOT need an overclock kernel for it to work. The problem is the /system partition is not writable from within Android which is how SetCPU works. Once we get the nand unlock, it'll work.
from my understanding is you will need an unlocked kernel and RW NAND

Now THAT makes sense. I'm not sure I want a Nand unlock; but I'd like an easier way to push stuff in recovery so I can make intentional tweaks and protect the OS the rest of the time.

Get aospCmod 2.3 to boot on your Hero

EDIT: thread no longer needed - ROM boots at 691 now
This is for the limited heroes which cannot function at 768mhx, like mine. First let me say you need to go to the GB thread and read the wiki for rom install intructions FIRST. I have added a section on that wiki page about kernels and clockspeeds near the bottom. Ok, the stock aospGB kernel or deca's uncapped #589 both scale to 768 freely, and some heroes can't handle that high of a frequecy but CAN handle speeds over 691.
I have FINALLY figured out how to get the kernel to BOOT less than 768 reliably, and it was super easy. I have tested it on deca's uncapped #589 so far. I have updated the main page of the wiki AGAIN about freezes/bootloops with this info if people need it later. The GB wiki is "readme" in the OP of the aospGB thread.
Instructions: First I assume you are on 01/28 GB already, running a capped 691 kernel or deca's #43 scaled to your max. Go into your root explorer app, navigate to system/ etc/ init.d/ and open the "30cpumem" file with the text editor, change the max frequency to whatever your phone can handle,i.e. 710xxx,729xxx,748xxx (mine is 729600). Then reboot into recovery and flash the #589 uncapped 768mhz kernel, and the reboot the phone. This worked for me with no hiccups. Since I used root explorer, I can't tell you the adb codes, so if you know them feel free to make the same file edit that way - and update the wiki if it works. Happy trails.
CREDITS:
aosp and the CM7 team for the rom
decad3nce for the overclocked kernels
The stock kernel should only boot at 691. 30cpumem already reads that for me, and I have never touched that file. Also, whenever I flash the newest update and use No-Frills, the max is always already set @ 691 as well.

hmm, well, guess I'm a little past due then. lmao. Well, the info still works if you want to go OVER 691 at boot, like me with 729. Thanks for thr info though.

[Q] dalingrin OC app questions

G'day. I hate to be posting, especially after that intro video However, I have searched thru the related posts, (everything that has kernel + dalingrin in the title/subject etc) and I can't seem to find anything related to specifically what I need.
Background: Bought nook on ebay from a nice guy who included instructions on how to register and re-root. Took me a hour or two because he didn't include a step. Got it figured out without his help - so I'm not a complete idiot, but I'm out of my realm on this one. I don't do this kind, so please be kind and patient.
I want to install the dalingrin‘s Nook Color Tweak App as I find the volume on my nook repulsing. I need a hearing aid to read their lips, it's that quiet =\ So I am asking for a tutorial basically. I read that it needs a kernel, how do I find the right one, I found threads that had a few kernel downloads but not the one I need from what the red text says. Where do I install it? (is that information included in the download, once I find where it is?) and lastly, once the kernel is installed, do I run the app like I did manual nooter, installing zip, choosing zip, etc?
Thanks for your time.
I haven't played much with kernel yet but do suggest, since the OC (overclocked) kernel created by Daringlin, do search for his name.
AFAIK, the 063011 is his latest work with 5 cpu clock stepping up to 1200MHz along with voltage adjustments and audio tune.
Make sure you get the corresponding for your running ROM, i.e. running off eMMC or booting from uSD.
If I find the link, I'll post.
Other members surely will help you out.
Update: just to clear up a bit, you need to install his apps (NookColorTweak) in order to adjust voltage and audio

Most of the posts I've come across are people complaining they can't get it to work in general or their kernel doesn't work. I need to know how to install it before I can utilize the "I broke it" posts lmao. Thank you though.

If you read the whole post, that is the link I provided to ask my questions on. I want to know the info on how to install THAT app, including which kernel I need ( it has a few listed in red at the bottom) and how I go about doing that. As I mentioned, I am not incompetent, but I am not familiar with this kind of stuff either. A simple how-to is all I'm looking for from someone who has actually went thru the steps to install this app.
As I mentioned above, you need to identify which category you are falling in.
I believe each version of his (dalingrin's) work, there are 4 different kernels which associate with each of the running ROM.
1. Rooted NC which runs stock ROM (Froyo 2.2)
a. Running off internal eMMC
b. Booting from external uSD
2. CM7 ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.x)
a. Running off internal eMMC
b. Booting from external uSD
The latest version would be the "06302011"
Again, firstly, identify and download the correct file.
Secondly, i do not root my NC but install CM7 ROM on it, so
a. for running off eMMC, put the correct file in the flashable CwM, insert into the NC, power it up, "install zip file from SD card" -> "choose zip file from SD card", then flash it.
b. for booting from uSD, put the correct file into the root folder of the bootable CM7, insert into the NC, power it up, it will automatically detect and install the OC's zip file.

I hope I get this right: When I got the NC, I had to reset it to default settings. Registered under my account, then restored it to 1.1, then to 1.2 (which I think is Froyo 2.2 from what I read here. Then I used manual nooter 4.6.16
its not running a boot disk, it was installed straight into the NC, if that makes sense.
So I guess I fall into:
"1. Rooted NC which runs stock ROM (Froyo 2.2)"
And is this the correct link/kernel? http://coachz.inetpro.org/~dalingrin/nook/kernels/063011/
So just install to a boot disk, put it in, install like nooter. Then install the tweak app the same way and all I'm done? Coming from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451 it says " Must be set with an app like SetCPU unless running CM7" Is this an app I download from the market, correct?
I'm sorry, just trying to make sense of all this, and I appreciate your help.
I guess you would need the third one from your link (Froyo 1.2 ... emmc)
Create a flashable uSD, drag the zip file on, put the uSD in the NC, then install/choose zip from SD card.
Keep all of your fingers crossed.
I wish you luck.
P.S. the app is Dalingrin NookColorTweak.
P.S. since you rooted the NC, you should get full access on the Market, do search for the NookcolorTweak app first and see if you can find it before flash the kernel.

[TELUS T959D Fascinate]-Running S.U.R.F.A.C.E ICS

First of all I would like to give credit where credit is due and say thank you to SamHaLeKe for all the work he put into this port and all the other Developers involved to bring ICS to the SGS
If you would like a full run down of this ROM and what is included as any new developments, please visit the ROM thread
Now off to the good bits ...
Install
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND YOUR PHONE CEASES TO WORK. THIS IS NOT A DETAILED WALK THROUGH BY ANY MEANS. I AM ASSUMING YOU READ ONE OF THE MANY OTHER TELUS THREADS THAT HAVE THE FULL INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED TO PERFORM THE BELOW STEPS.
Note: I am not going to post all the links to files as I do not have the time to update them everyday when something changes. I will however post links to the ROM and Kernel threads for your reference.
I decided to start fresh (and I mean fresh) from stock FROYO with a full SD format and the works.
Step 1
Flashed back to stock with ODIN. Again I used FROYO but I am sure GB would work. If you want to start fresh as I did, go to options storage and format the internal SD (13 GB).
Step 2
Download the ROM and Glitch V13 kernel (what I used) and copy them to the SD card of the phone. I suggest removing any external SD as not to copy the files to the wrong spot (guess what I did LOL).
Step 3
Flash voodoo kernel from ODIN to root and install clockwork recovery making sure that you do not repartition in ODIN
Step 4 - Note: The older voodoo kernel gave an "assert failed" error trying to flash the ROM through recovery)
Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik then flash the Glitch V13 kernel from zip and reboot. At this point you will most likely be boot looping but no worries everything is OK
Step 4
Pull the battery and then boot into recovery with volume up + volume down +power. Wipe cache and dalvik and flash the ROM from the ZIP
Let the ROM boot and then again boot to recovery and flash the essentials zip.
Voila you should be running S.U.R.F.A.C.E ICS, aint it beautiful?
I continued and flashed add on packs 1 and 2 but that is up to you
Now for my findings thus far ...
I am in no way a power user when it comes to my phone but I do play with it a lot. I have to say that this ROM seems to be the one of the smoothest to date and seems to take to our device nicely.
Battery has been nothing short of great for me. Through the week I can easily get 2 days out of it (work all day). Now I also try to minimize the drain by turning off whatever I don't need like WIFI seeing as there is none where I work.
I flashed the JL3 modem and it seems to work good for me but then I don't live where you do so you may have better luck with another.
The kernel included in the ROM (if you read the ROM post) is Glitch V14 pre which runs amazing as usual although still in the development stage. This kernel has a lot of new features that I will let you read up on yourself here
The ROM also includes supercharger and thunderbolt scripts (I admit I have little to no experience with these but I do know they help).
No FC's with this ROM other then the video camera but I have seen some posts regarding this and have not got around to working on it but will be I am sure very soon. It looks like just a file update maybe but too soon to tell.
Live overclock seems to work if I leave the voltage settings alone but that could just be a lack of experience in this area but it never hurts to try. If anyone has settings that are working for them I would love to know what they are. I have set the live overclock to 120% or 1.2ghz and it runs fine again if I do not change the voltage.
It's only been about 3 days since the install but this is what I got so far. I would recommend giving it a try for sure.
I know there are a few of us on this ROM so post up your findings here.
Thank you
Buck
Similar but running Glitch v14
Thanks for the write up Buck. I have been running this rom (Surface) for a few days also but I came from cm7 to this one. I have also been toying around with it over the last few days which has gotten me in a few tight spots lol. I have my Volt control set to 1304, no voltage changes and it runs flawlessly. The modem I put on was the JVT which also seems to work well.
What I have learn about Live OC:
First you set your clock speed in Volt control, then flip over to NStools (that is the easy part)
IMPORTANT.... If you choose to mess with this, make sure settings in NStools is NOT set to apply on boot or make sure you have a good recovery to go back to. Found this out the hard way
Click on live oc and you can make changes here... If you read the articale from Glitch on this it will help alot (found in the OP for T959D).
Live oc clocks up the cpu AND bus so it affects the gpu and memory along with the cpu (very important).
Findings... some settings work fine, 105, 106,110, 114, 116. 115 seems to have issues and provides lower performance considerably lower.
I use AnTuTu to check how things are working. That being said, if you apply set at boot and you hit a setting that first craps out the phone, causes a reboot then your going to be in a bootloop or it will start reboot start reboot. This is why you DON'T do this or like I said earlier have a good recovery handy.
Right now I am only running 1304 and 100% and everything is fine except the prior mentioned FC on video cam. Oh I should mention also I am running the Lazy governor atm which also seems to work fine (default is on demand).
Anyways
Well I think we may have broken the record for the longest 2 posts on the first page in xda history lol. Happy flash year everyone
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Didn't notice you guys mention this, but Glitch V14 has an option in CWM to clear NSTools settings. It's right above the option to clear voltage settings under the Glitch Menu.
It works well, believe me!!

I'm on ICS!
Thanks bucky!!
I'm on ICS now, with Glitch v14 but I have a few questions I'm hoping you can help with:
- The screen layout / icons seem shrunken to me? As well as the notification bar. General text and keyboards are fine. Is there a fix I can apply?
- With further versions from Surface can I just flash over top of what I'm on now or do I need to go back to stock?
- Do I need to use TI to bring all my apps back up (I get "App X has stopped working"), or is there a quicker way?
Thanks again.

- Do I need to use TI to bring all my apps back up (I get "App X has stopped working"), or is there a quicker way?
Thanks again.

Well the shrunken icons are because of the DPI setting in the build.prop file. You can change it with a text editor (I use root explorer) to the default value of 240. It is listed as LCD Density.
To flash another version you should be fine to flash over what you have with a factory reset and wipe cache
Apps well I usually just re-download from the market. I have used TI and found I get the best result if I restore without data. Remember not all apps are compatible with ICS yet so that could cause issues as well.
Enjoy the ICS I know I do.

you looking for T959D?
Yes
Sent from my T959D on Darky's Rom 10.3.
Rom toolbox worked for me, it's looking beauty now. Everything seems to be working well, except I get the occasional crash on dialer / contacts. Anyone else having the same?
I'm running LauncherPro, what are you guys running?

Nothing like that here maybe the way it was flashed I am not sure. Have you added anything?

Only flashed the add-ons, and the launcher pack. Changed the LCD density and that's about it. I'm thinking it might be because I didn't wipe the sd card and start clean.

Just set these values tonight and so far all is good and no crashes or reboots. See if it helps the battery as the days go by. Give it a shot or post your working values for others to try.
AND NO I NEVER SLEEP

Thanks for posting your OC and UV values. I'll give those a try.
I've been experiencing random crashes and reboots (woke up this morning to a dead phone). It was plugged in overnight but crashed at some point and did not charge. Battery voltage dropped down to almost nothing.
Anyone else experiencing random reboots?
I was using an OC value of 1304 (no live OC). UV values left stock. Ondemand governor, Deep idle ON, noop IO scheduler.
I did not format my sdcard prior to install. Just did a data wipe/factory reset, format cache and dalvik then installed according to the instructions. Installed Add-on Essentials and Add-on Pack One. All other apps were reinstalled from the market (after using market enabler and changing DPI back to 240 using ROM manager).
Everything works great except for the random crashes and reboots. I'll probably start from scratch again when v1.3 comes out (except I will format the SD card). Maybe even start from stock Froyo as recommended in the OP.
EDIT:
Tried the settings and my phone was not happy. It froze when setting the UV values. My phone seems to have a problem with any live OC value other than 100%. As soon as I increase it I lose all stability.
1.3 released and I am running it.

Settings
I'm on Glitch v14 pre5 and I just clocked it up to 1300 and added 104% live OC for a stable 1352, no undervolting battery sitting @ 68% 1 day 22hrs. I did turn off some stuff I dont use and had data running on and off for the whole time.
For the guys that are having problems with flashes, I generally wipe everything I know its a pain but I don't experience any problems either. I also wait until i have a full battery too. It seems to pay off in the long run...
Happy Flashing!!!
Phone and contacts are working well now, but I can't get app data to save. For example some apps t's&c's keep asking for approval everytime I open the app. Also beautiful widgets skins keep reverting back to default. I'm going to wipe, format the SD card and install 1.3 from stock Froyo. here's hoping.

Just wiped and running 1.3 now. So far seems much better and faster than my last flash. You guys know of any way to change the haptic feedback intensity in ics?
