Root [Kernel]OptimusM OC stock 2.2.1

so i wiped both my cache and dalvik and flashed the kernal it DID NOT boot loop and my phone booted up properly but when i use set cpu it isnt letting me clock it over 600 ? is there a reason y?

Did you get the message to throw your phone in the lake if it didn't work when you were done flashing the kernel?

It sounds like your kernel didn't flash, setcpu not letting you go over 600 makes me think the flash process didn't work properly.

Wipe both cache and flash again and report the output from recovery after you click flash.
 
I reflashed and got the message to throw in water or what ever it is but everytime i open up set cpu i get an error message... could not read set cpu custom config. Reverting to default. Is your sd card unmounted from the pc?... idk what to do
 
Thanks it worked... since i flashed this kernal my web browsers keep crashin is this a normal big or. Is there a setting i should do

I have had no issues..my phone operates the same as it did with stock kernal..just faster

Same thing for me man. Everything is the same except I'm at a stable 787. Which is crazy fast. I've almost forgot what a phone lag is. All my friends are scared to root because of the whole bricking issue but I don't think it matters because when I bricked my old lg optimus 2 weeks ago metro switched it out for 10 bucks....

Nice..i left mine at the default 729...my only struggle is trying to get the same battery life results as others..ive wiped and calibrated..but no difference
 
Good to here some positive results from my efforts fellas! I've had great results with this kernel at 787 and I too don't miss the phone lag at all!
 
I decided to set mine to 787 with some temp and charging profiles...that combined with the spbshell3d launcher has me drooling over my phone lol

Well here is an overclockable kernel for the optimus m that came with 2.2.1 stock. This allows you to change your cpus speed and has the potential to damage your phone if not used with common sense. That said, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU F UP YOUR PHONE! Every CPU chip is different so stable speeds will vary from phone to phone. My phone isn't stable above 787 MHz. That doesn't mean yours can't go higher :)

Download the zip to your sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Wipe your cache and dalvik cache.
Flash and reboot.

You will need setcpu or a similar program to change frequencies. I have to configure the gbrom so the cmod7 settings will have that ability. Hit the thanks button if this helps and the donate link if it really really helps :)

Big thanks to asadullah for organizing our mob on LG and making the source code possible!

Enjoy!


UPDATE:
Ok so I tried to compile the wifi modules from source to include with this kernel update. They compiled wifi still wasn't functioning so I think LG is being sneaky with some propietary source for those modules. Well that doesnt matter because I thought of a lazier work around!!! I just created a flashable update which includes the boot.img with the modified kernel so wifi works after this is flashed!

THIS VERSION WILL WORK WITH GB CMOD7 ONLY!
This is because I used the boot.img from the gbrom obviously BUT don't fret. I will be happy to make versions compatible with your rom of choice, you need only provide me with the boot.img from said rom. These will be posted in the reserve spot. Give her a rip. The people that had boot loop problems in the first version please report your results if you try this out.

Lower set CPU Max Version, people with boot loops test this update
Max set to 729600(i can go lower if needed) and default governor is ondemand.

Battery Calibration install this and let your battery fully charge. The run the app, unplug the charger and calibrate. This should be done after flashing a new rom or kernel.

Hello! It's nice that you made this for everyone and all, but if you're going to post something that will not work with a stock ROM, maybe you shouldn't title your post "Kernel OptimusM OC stock 2.2.1" !! If I misread something there, sorry, but that just seams contradictory.

If you would have read a lil more you would of seen the post for the kernel you are looking for it is in the reserved spot.

I was referring to the second release of the phone. Phones that came with 2.2 already had an OC kernel but that kernel wouldn't work on phones that can with 2.2.1 stock. This is what makes this kernel important and thus making it title worthy information. This was common knowledge to almost everyone on this forum. No ones else seemed to suffer the same confusion as you. Also this kernel does work with stock, the very first release was cm7 only Thank you.

TESTING NEEDED:
I have compiled this update to work on both Gingerbread and Froyo based roms BUT I need some testing from the community. I tested it on asadullah's metroslider51 rom as that was the only froyo rom I had on my sdcard at the moment and everything worked like a charm. I need people to test it on Sense UI rom and any others you guys use and report your findings! If this update works well then the kernel updates will continue in this fashion. I perfere the One Size Fits All approach rather than making an kernel update for every rom we have out there. Lemme know how it works guys.

first read the whole thread, and understand how it applies to your phone/device. even if you don't realize how it'll fit with your phone, you'll at least realize that this kernel has worked for a variety of folks, including me, who ran it with the stock 2.2.1 rom beautifully. then ask questions if you don't get it, and ask them nicely. that's how we all get along. shooting down the OP, especially when he's an established member of the forum who has contributed worlds more than you have, will get you absolutely nowhere and will gain you no friends.
 
So as an update;

I've been using ADW EX and FancyWidget Pro again, and haven't had any trouble. I now suspect a different program I was using, WidgetLocker. I had it installed on both devices, although I never fully configured it on the Nook. Regardless, I have ADW EX on the Nook and ADW EX and FW Pro on the Optimus, and both are running great. I don't want to try WidgetLocker again just yet.
 
Well I flashed the sense rom with the anyrom kernel running 806 stable....everything works great. Just letting you guys know who are thinking of switching from cm7 like me :-)
 
Model Version: Stock 2.2
ROM Version: Stock 2.2, z4rooted
Recovery: GNM All In One v2.2.1
Kernel: rOCK v0.3 AnyROM

So far so good. Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS all seem to be functioning normally. 787 froze/rebooted me. Scaled back to 768 and it seems to be holding under true stress tests: random paging through Market/AppStore, Angry Birds Rio (w/ ad popups), Plants Vs Zombies, & Peggle.

What's the average operating temp of the battery? So far I seem to be leveled off around 75-80F.

Same its at 77 F right now but its been on 806 since I flashed it 3 days ago... runs awesome, only time this badboy heats up is when its charging
 
@reppard, do you have plans on playing with voltages in this kernel? I really want to bump the voltage on this thing and try and get a stable clock over 729. I'm researching it myself but I'm a long way from being able to pull it off, lol.

When I get time I will take a look and see what I can do. More voltage means more heat and lesser battery life so that's something to keep in mind.

Well I found an app for other phones that can scale voltages with profiles like setcpu does with freq. Would be nice to have overvolt while in use and cool and undervolt if possible while when heated up or in standby.

From what I've read on other phones, chips like mine that don't clock as well as others respond better with a small bump in voltage. I'll take a battery hit to see 806mhz :p.

My phone tends to stay cool as long as I don't set scaling to favor max speed. I have it set to ondemand now and it by far favors my lowest clock speed but still hits the max speed when needed, hardly uses anything in between though.

More voltage and even less voltage can also mean hardware failure, so be careful in your experimenting, if you undervolt too far I guess you can make the cpu too unstable to be able to boot into recovery... :eek:

Who said anything about me testing it, I am perfectly happy at 787 stable ;). Just joshing ill see how well mine does in the mid 800s with a little more juice
 
Seems to be running smooth with sense rom at 768/245. thank you, reppard.
BTW, what difference does minimum clock make? i tried to set it 122 nothing really changes. Should I just leave it alone at 245?
