[Q] Does new kernel include undervolting and conservative power?

Hi there, quick question...
Do the newest kernels also include undervolting and conservative power setting? (and overclocking, but I don't understand why people even want that)
With newest kernels, I mean the kernels from http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild/
Or should I use the kernel attached in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746997#

All this is answered in android development. Check ur builds thread. It will telk u which kernwl is being used and what is enabled. Im using shrubcrafts build. The included kernel has overclocking undervolting inckuded.

ok maybe I wasn't clear (blame it on the dutch! ;-)
Of course I know which kernel I'm using at the moment, indeed it's mentioned in the thread of the build.
However, I can't find any info on the activated options in the newest kernel (for example the kernel of the 24th august).
As far as I understand, someone started adding/changing some lines in some file and recomplied the kernel to have other options activated. I'm not sure, and want to know if recent autobuilds do have those options by default.
Please correct me if I'm wrong!

[Q] Why flash kernel?

Hey guys,
I'm running CM7 on my Wildfire.
I'm still experimenting with android and I would like to know more about kernels.
So why should you flash a kernel?

I don't know, which kernels are available for wildfire, but in general you can gain many things. For example new or other drivers, security fixes, and/or mods, such as overclocking.

Hi
I'm fairly new to this also, what I would say is it's probably easier/quicker to search the forums first before posting it is very unlikely that your question hasn't already been asked and answered before.
Anyway ... kernels ... I have read it put simply as "code that allows the software to communicate with the hardware of your handset" so I guess it controls the actions of things like the wifi adapter and light/motion sensors and more importantly the CPU. CM7 already has a kernel that allows overclocking. There were some ROMs that you had to flash sepetate kernels on to achieve this.
Flashing different kernels to CM7 generally breaks some other function so in my opinion it's best to stick with the one currently built in unless a kernel is released to specifically fix a major bug.
If you look at the stickies topics in the wildfire sub-forum you will find a list of Rome, kernel s and radios with brief descriptions. Most kernel titles tell you what there main function is.

I see "[2.6.32.39]" nFinity" in a lot of people's Sigs. I have tried googling and I can't find any info on this Kernel at all.
Any info/help?
Edit - Scratch that, I just looked at my "About phone" and I'm on 2.6.32.40-nFinity [email protected] #1

rom for my needs

I need a rom that does not have almost ANY graphic customization or any other things, just the fastest tweaks and the lowest ram consumption.

stock and manual adding of tweaks

Deodexed stock with kuro kernel + kuro tweaks. I think it is the best combination.
You can find the deodexed stock ROM from devs section

Hi, please search before creating a new thread, already quite a few like this.
Also, moved to Q&A since it is more of a question. Hope you get a good answer on this soon!

Where is the best place to ask questions about kernels?

These question are about Nexus 7 tablet kernel.
Hi, I am wanting to build my own kernel but have questions, where would be the correct forum to post these question. They really don't pertain to any particulate kernel.
I am wanting to compile the 4.1 kernel and add low voltage and OC up to 1.5, adding a new governor would be nice but not really needed at this point in development
what files need to be edited?
what changes need to be made?
are all the modification made in mach-tegra?
I have looked at several githubs, they have way more changes then I want, I know there are kernels out there that do what I want, but I would like to learn the build process.
For right now i would like to know what files need to be changed to oc the kernel to 1.5 at a low voltage to conserver battery life. perhaps at some point add smartass governor.
thanks in advice for any help one can provide.

The Q&A forum would seem the most obvious.

That is correct (and to where this thread has been moved to) .

Help here!

I want to know if I need to install a custom rom or a custom kernel or a combination of both so that I can overclock my phone(1ghz single core). Please help. Why is everybody so silent here, so unwilling to answer a simple question as this. My fourth post of the same question.

Any custom ROM that comes packaged with an included kernel should allow you to overclock. AFAIK the oveclocking capability lies within the kernel (at least with Xperias this is the case) . At the least, a stock ROM with a custom kernel and a CPU/Performance app will give you overclocking options.
My suggestion though is to get a ROM like PAC, that comes with a kernel and the needed app to manage your CPU settings.

That is not fully correct.
Most PAC builds use the stock CM kernel. Our ROM offers performance settings to manage that, but they generally do not allow overclocking.
Some of us have additional builds with performance kernels built in. Not all of us though.
Your best approach would be to install PAC for your device then check your devices XDA thread for a popular performance kernel and flash that afterwords. The performance control will see the new CPU settings and you will then be able to configure it as you need.

DL an oc app, like CPU tuner or whatever..

Yes, you need a kernel with overclock support .
On Gs2 I use PAC and dorimanx kernel
On your phone you need to search for kernels and roms for your model
