I hope not to bother anyone by bumping this thread but is it dead? Or is there a chance of us getting overclock with the 4.3 update? I really enjoyed the performance of this kernel and would love to have it working with the my shield now.
I think it maybe dead, unfortunately, there wasn't a new version in awhile. It would be cool if someone were able to continue this development.

Any info about this? I see some other tegra 4 devices out there, so, when the TF701 for example, have custom kernels, and overclock, maybe, someone, start porting them to our shield, I guess.
BTW, how much do you think our device can be pushed with oc guys? 2.55 seems pretty fine from default 1.9.

Just got a Shield yesterday. Updated to 4.3, rooted, cleaned up the system, went over the sparse amount of stuff at xda, and now I am forking the source to see if we can't get a 4.3 kernel that is not only overclocked but has something other than noop and interactive / ondemand as far as configuration options go.

Good stuff. I followed some of your work on the thunderbolt briefly before upgrading. Looking forward to your work here.

HTC definitely did not want outsiders working on their devices. At least the public repos for this device are kept updated. In the meantime, here is a decompiled version of the CWM that was released here but seems to be missing from its thread: https://github.com/StarKissed/roth-recovery-cwm

I am turning on the pc to give it to you :p

Can anyone pull a configuration from a 4.3 kernel? adb pull /proc/config.gz

It seems I can't connect with adb and I need to adjust my app to support devices that lack any form of menu button :/
remote object '/proc/config.gz' does not exist

I have this error, do I need to root the device first? :S

That's what I was afraid of. I didn't see it when I tried to grab it from the device terminal, but I was hoping it was an issue with my half-baked idea for how to get around the adb problems I'm having.

A device's prolem? Or diferent building methods? On 4.2.2 the config.gz are missing too or is a 4.3 problem?

It's all ready just waiting on a config or the time to figure out how to make one manually.
Have you asked for the config to coolbho3000? He have managed to build the first one, maybe on older versions of the SHIELD's firmware the config does not be removed, or he have maked one by himself.
BTW, what do you modified on the kernel? It's possible to add CPU and GPU oc to our device? And zRam?

Found this, maybe it can help.

Well he is the op, so I imagine if he plans to post it he will.

The script does what the pull does so if pull doesn't work the script won't. I had tried it anyway hoping that was a false guess.

I added the overclock but I also have governors and some other stuff that needs a config to enable. I didn't do the gpu since it already runs well.

Why don't gpu oc? I see some framerate drops on some games, more prominent on console mode, maybe on it, the oc can give us a boost. The cooler can be accessed with the kernel to tune the speed?
