Root [MetroPCS] [MS500] Freedom Kernel Overclocked **Updated 6/17/15**

[GameTheory]

Yes that guide can help. As for voltage you have to play with it till you find a sweet spot and it can vary for different android versions for the same phone (i.e. kk may need less volt than jb). Download the LG kernel source from HERE which comes with build instructions. Good luck, you're on your own from here lol.

Thank you!! This will be my project for the next couple of weeks.

My recommended settings to use on a daily basis.

For optimal performance and battery life...

• interactive or intellidemand governor
• 1.4 ghz overclock
• 384 mhz min
• cfq scheduler

Install an app like SetCPU which lets you control the kernel.

I figured it out but one last thing, i have only 1404 as max. Thus i am only getting 58xx on quadrant

how do i overclock to 1.6 Ghz on setcpu

Dude read the first post. The overclock listed is 1.4. There is no 1.6.

 

[obed9armah]

True but i keep reading posts of people here overclocking to 1.6. Are they using different cpu app

That's old and doesn't exist anymore. That was for old firmware and doesn't work. The first post has the latest updated info.

 

[obed9armah]

Thanks!

 

[obidi]

That was what I had. Where did I go wrong?

 

[frosthax1]

because it is a modified kernal.for an app to work it would have to be underclocked.normally the kernal doesnt go this high so no normally you cant overclock to this because it would not normally go this high.hope that sheds some light

Kernel Updated

Freedom Kernel now available in the Play Store!

I developed a CPU app that can install the kernel for you and change kernel settings like governors and clock speeds. The app can also monitor some system and kernel parameters.

KERNEL CHANGES:

• Increased overclock to 1.512 ghz
• Added underclock to 192 mhz
• Added intelliactive and wheatley governors

SCREENSHOT:

Just when I think the f6 is dead you ressurect it again. Awesome work man!

I just updated the kernel again

Changes:
Added more underclock to 192 mhz (excellent battery savings)

Note:
I updated post #314 to reflect today's change.

Thank you for your continuing support for this phone

What's special about the Wheatley governor? I've tried looking up what it does but I'm a little confused. I'm looking to use a governor that gives me the highest clock when needed but saves battery when I don't need it. Is intellidemand the one I should use for that? Sorry for my n00b question :/

You can lookup governors HERE. I use intellidemand for a good balance.

Is it supposed to work on Carbon Rom? Because i tried the app and couldn't install on the carbon rom

no only xperion

 

[Masterchief87]

It is for xperion or stock

So I've got a new monster kernel I've been working on. I'll be uploading it to the play store soon. Google takes about 2-3 hours to push the update to your phones.

This kernel is a gamers wet dream lol. Very high performance!

I'll list all the added new features once it's posted. In the meantime simmer on this insanely high benchmark...

I'll let you guys know when its posted.
