Hi guys
I tried to overclock galaxy y using axiom kernel. But its not working. Either it enters into a boot loop or else SIM card won't work. What should be done???

I used to overclock my galaxy y using no frills cpu app that was pre installed when using jellyblast rom...
Now I am using stock rom and no overclock since a year...
If you soft bricked your phone then use odin to reflash android...

Leave it, I have tried to OC it too. The SoC isn't good enough. Better flash CM11 on it. The phone is crap hardware wise.

Hardware limitation is certainly there but why do you want to overclock it? Gain won't be that much noticeable.

not worth overclocking such poor hardware,youll only worsen the heat and battery life etc
instead,flash a light rom such as CM

Cm is always a great option for old phones.

5.1 for Nexus 5 is out as a factory image. I will wait for that before going to custom rom as a solution.

Yeah this is the magic on android. But I am using 5.1 and it is certainly more polished variant of android yet.

Yes there is. Discussion Thread for CyanogenMod 11/12 (And… | Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 | XDA Forums

Performance isn't upto the standards of kitkat but its mainly due to the crap hardware of the phone. It wasn't supposed to get anything above 2.3.6, so kudos to the devs. :doublethumb:
