Root Updating kernels to support lower frequencies

Was just wondering with some of these kernels if devs could add support for 24 mhz...I know some devices act up and have random reboots at this frequency but I ran miui with austries speed demon kernel at this low frequency and never had a single reboot(at least not caused by low freq). I got ridiculous battery life with it set there...any chance of seeing this in the near future?
 
Well that's cool. Just threw it out there, since you didn't offer any specifics except a lower clockspeed.
 
Didn't mean to sound like a jerk lol...I appreciate all helpful replies...just hoping someone will have the time to possibly add support to some other kernels

This is the area that I have been working in Basicly you need to change the "0"s to "1"s to enable and vice versa to disable.

I made a new kernel for CM7 with reduced steps. I think I have squeezed out the most of what I use. Holla if you want to know what and why I made the changes I made.

I wish I knew how to put this to use...I would build my own kernels like you guys...but my computer just isn't what it should be with all the garbage my girlfriend has installed on it...maybe when I get my tax return I will get a new one and make a nice donation to MTDEV in return for some help in learning to build roms and kernels...lol

It really isn't that hard. The only thing is you need to have a Linux distro as the tools aren't available on windows.

Also if you are really wanting to get into development this is the best route to go for the $$ it's not going to kill your budget and if you opt not to continue coding it's not like you spent a lot of money.

Make sure you are getting a Quad Core Xeon I would recommend a 2.0Ghz to start with. More if you have the funds.
 
Can't really afford a new comp...the one I have is only a year old and should be more than capable...need to reformat an factory restore it...it has 8gb ram 260 gb hd and an 2ghz I7 processor... don't know if its quad or dual core though...paid 1100 for it and have probably only used it like 10 times... my gf is on it so much I rarely touch it.

I dual booted my main rig for a while. It would get anoying as my wife didn't understand Ubuntu. But it does work fairly well. I even found a script so I could resize my vertual HDD that the setup made for me. That was real nice as I would screw up so bad that I wanted to start over and I would use the original as a backup image. If you want to go that rout, let me know and I will find the script and give you a hand.

I think the I7s are all quad-core...shouldn't be a whole lot of difference unless you plan to step up to multiple processors in which case the Xeon would be what you want.

My friend has an i7 and it's quad core with Hyperthreading. For the build that would be an effective 8 cores (threads) and should build per-ty fast.
