Root Anthrax Kernel question

If it's version 3.7.0, you have to reflash it and choose a higher clock speed. He made it so that the highest clock speed your phone will perform at is what you choose in aroma. This is because phones that can't handle higher clock speeds still touch the higher speeds for a moment and causes reboots.

So, say your phone reboots at 1.6ghz, if you have the max speed set to that in aroma but have it set to a lower speed in kernel tuner, your phone can still momentarily "touch" 1.6ghz, causing a reboot.

I've moved on to the nexus 4 but I still play around with ROMs on the Evo every now and then. Mobz told me I should start deving. I'd love to if I didn't have a 2 year old destroying the place all the time lol

With which carrier you have the nexus 4? Im planning to change carriers soon, i'm checking what other companies has to offer.

Edit: i just saw got in with my pc and saw you on tmobile.

Does this hold true for the other settings during Aroma installation? I want to set them but still have options to go higher or lower when I want to.

Just max clock speed

Okay thanks! I just tried flashing it again with a higher max clockspeed that has a warning may not boot/bootloop and sure enough my phone booted up to the lockscreen and just froze. Had to pull the battery. xD

I'm gonna go with the Anthrax recommended 1566 Mhrz and leave everything else on default.
