Anthony062991's kernel didn't rely on scripts, it was truly OC. The scripts he used in his first 3 ROMs never worked anyways...


i was under the impression that the way the previous overclocking method worked by using nofrills cpu or some other cpu app at to get the results.

this requires nothing. not even editing the init.qcom.post_boot.sh

there's more fine tuning to be done though.

let's expect a newer build or a few newer ones to get it all squared away and evened out. as i have time i'm working on things.

this kernel is snappy though. i can see and feel the difference. curious to see everyone's experience with cpu heat over extended periods.
