Default [KERNEL] Plague Overclock Kernel for LG Esteem MS910 - UPDATED!

Ok folks, as we know have CWM working I can now post my custom overclocked kernel.

Its build from LG source and modified by myself with assistance from mtmichealson. It has a max oc of 1804Mhz (1.8Ghz) with scaling inbetween and even some lower settings added.

Its been running and very stable @1.8Ghz for all I know who are running it. It has 2 additional governors added, smartass2 and interactive. Smartass2 has been reported to revert back to ondemand or performance. I will correct this in a future build or make sure thats what its suppose to be doing.

Changelog:

  • Added a link for the 2016Mhz (2Ghz) Plague Extreme kernel. I revert the versioning back to perf so to avoid any module conflicts. But the HDMI out still seems not to work. :\
1172012

  • Added 2.2Ghz max oc for the brave souls!!!
  • Added HDMI fix - thanks to mtmichealson

I would like to thank our team of testers, they been a great help to me and mt, thanks guys!!!

The goods:

1.8 Plague Kernel

2Ghz Plague Extreme

2.2Ghz Plague Extreme with HDMI fix

Download and copy to your sdcard and install with CWM or RZR. No wipes needed. Get SetCPU or similar app to set overclocking.


USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone!

1.6Ghz I like the sound of that. Was gonna get the phone next week but might have to just go get it tonight. Since it sounds like no one is willing to be a test dummy for you. I also think we all need to donate to PG. Since myself and im sure many others here were or our ascenders and without his work we would still want to throw that laggy pos at the wall. So if no one offers up there time and phone to test these out i will hopefully have the phone within the next 24 hours. i just gotta get it without the wife knowing what im going to do lol.

PG, I can confirm that the stock rom is overclockable to 1.4Ghz like you asked in a different post. The extra .2 would be more than welcome though.

Also, I'm willing to be a test subject for the stuff you're working on (CWM and new kernel) not too experienced with android as this is only my second android phone and my firest one was the indulge which was only fairly recently rooted, but I've been a linux user for years so I shouldn't have too hard a time learning the stuff with minimal guidance

Yea 1.4Ghz should be achievable on the stock ROM from I seen of the kernel src. Just root and use a cpu oc app like setcpu, android oc, etc.

Mine will let it goto 1.6 and plan on a 1.9 version as well.

Maybe they fixed that in the update since I am not able to overclock with setCPU

i'm happy to try it out if you'll walk me through it. stuck in boot loop.... kinda. it will load to setup wizard, then die. but if i hit the exit button in the setup wizard, then it halts the reboot. and i can stay on my phone till the screen falls asleep. once the screen is asleep, it auto reboots... uggh. all from just changing the fonts in the system/font folder.... well, i say that, i renamed the original fonts while the system was running. when i exited root explorer, the screen froze, and started the boot loop.

Off topic, but possibly if you lengthen the time before the screen goes to sleep, it could give you a long enough window to ADB push the original fonts back to the system.. Just a shot in the dark..

Hey bro, since you compiled the kernel maybe you might find this useful.

This is for compiling clockworkmod from source for a motorola droid.
The script has motorola specific stuff in it, but i'm trying to learn how i might replace that part with lg stuff instead.

Compiling Clockwork Mod From Source

I've got my linux box syncing the repository right now.

If i had to guess, maybe take some lg source folders, put em somewhere inside the other folders -> ? -> compile -> profit! ?

If you can make a one click recovery flashing app like the revo tool you would be a bad ass man.

Question for you guys, maybe you might know.

Lets say I make a BAD recovery image during my testing. And i flash it to my phone, would it still boot up fine as long as i didn't try to go into the recovery itself?

If that's the case, then at least I can safely play around once i'm able to compile stuff. I know the LG source has the code for it's normal recovery, so the trick would be somehow merging that with clockwork source code. I'm guessing stuff wouldn't work perfectly at first, that's why I ask.

I will see if I can practice making a recovery image for the virtual device emulator. Then I could get the hang of it without risking the real phone. At least in theory.

After doing some reading It seems that I am correct about that.
Since it's not the boot partition, you just won't be able to get into recovery after a bad flash.

I'm still messing with sourcecode trying to see what I can compile etc etc...

so that is a good thing then correct? I am assuming that means that if you flash a bad recovery you will still be able to boot your phone? which means all you have to do is tweak the recovery and try again and see if it lets you in?

You may go into fastboot mode though right? Then you'd have to wipe the recovery partition with adb fastboot and put another on there. At least that's how it was on the OM

I encourage searching things out. I think it builds character (I own an Indulge, I know all about seeking out knowledge of things over your head to build character) but please don't randomly experiment guys till there is a custom recovery, or you'll be enjoying your nice new bricked phone while you wait out the Christmas season.

If this phone were to be overclocked to 1.9ghz. Then we really need to buy some extended battery ...

PlayfulGod, Is there a overclock kernal built yet and I know this is an old post but I didn't find any other realitive info concerning this development. If you have anything valueable to point me in the right direction. could the overclock kernal be done with eclipse and port from similiar kernal? I'm new to this so I hope this is not stupid question.
