Overclock Samsung Galaxy Y to 1.2Ghz
Here is something special for all of you! Here is something which could overclock your galaxy y from 832 MHz to 1.2 GHz. This overclocking is made possible by one the xda-developer “Maroc-OS” which his Kernel Merruk 2.5.
Maroc-OS, had removed the original download links to this kernel because more than 80% users reported that the kernel didn’t work (never boots up!). But it’s really great that one other developer “BiswajitBarman” find a way to install it. So try it yourself!
Keep in mind, This is not an officially released version and has bugs in it. So be carefull. Check the comments for bugs reported by others. Also remember to have a backup with cmw.

its optional. you can also do it with any other kernel.
please i need some help i did all the steps in the video but i got stuck where you i try to do the advanced restore with the backup but it says e: cache not readable or something like that so i try to restore with the backup i made before doing any thing and it also says the same thing so i rebooted an the Samsung logo appears but it stays stuck there so i took the battery out and put it back and then i reboot in recovery mode and i don’t get the normal recovery red letters instead i get the cwm yellow letters without having to go to the install update from SD card thing so i rebooted once again with the backup i did before doing anything and it did restore just that it keeps restarting itself every once in a while all by itself but i install the CPU master but it says on the big letters 1248 MHz but. what do i do should i restore with Odin or what? please help me.
i deleted both backups.
now do one thing, flash a new firmware with odin. then flash a new kernel (one of merruk’s) and then try it again. Hope it will work.
what do i do if in Odin the yellow box doesn’t appear. cant i just install the kernel again and see if this time it installs correctly. my current ROM is creeds 3.5. does that change anything? please reply.

Hi! I have a question. If i am with stock ROM and overclock to 1.2 GHz and then i change on custom ROM is it stay overclocked to 1.2 GHz or i need to overclock it again. PLEASE REPLY ME! (sorry for my bad english its not my first language)
if the custom rom has a kernel inside it, you’ll lost it. check inside the zip file (of custom rom) and see if there is a boot.img file present. If yes, then that rom has a kernel inside.

you don’t really need kuro kernel.
