This is my first kernel build ever (not just for the Nexus 7). Just a starting point for more hacking on the Nexus 7.
Flashable zip package attached.
It should go without saying that anything you do with this package you do at your own risk.
Features
Insecure
init.d support
Overclocked to 1.5GHz
Voltage tweaks at OC clocks
BFQ scheduler
smartassv2 governor
lagfree governor
Made kernel version not suck
Notes
You should root and install busybox into /system/xbin before flashing this kernel. Don't flash this if you don't know what you're doing as I'm too lazy to include n00b instructions.

Thanks to Virtuous team for their updater-script for this device.
Thanks so much man. Can't wait to get my nexus so I can flash this. Hopefully before the 18th which is my birthday. I had heard though that smartass didn't work so well with more than 1 core though. Could you clarify on that.

Smartass v1 was made for single core cpu's. Smartass v2 was made for dual core cpu's, so v2 might work better on a quad core? V2 doesn't really work all that well on my single core cpu for the phone I have.

HTC G1 #2: Broke

Exactly right. I actually never really liked smartassv2 in general, but I think it is working out fairly well on the N7, actually.
This is after just a little bit of game time, some regular usage, and some sleep time. I may need to tweak some of the higher clock values so it scales up a bit more gracefully. At any rate, there will be plenty of options to play around with.

So whats the heat production and stability like at 1.5ghz? When you say 1.5ghz, is that like the htc one x where it is actually 1.4ghz but you can go to 1.5ghz when only using one core, or is it all four cores clocked at 1.5 please? Got to admit that a gpu OC would be really nice. This looks great, thanks
