An UV kernel would be nice for some.
Morfic made an uv kernel called big bore.
But it was unstable and he didn't fix it because it was a low demand.
But being able to set frequencies easily would be neat.
But as i said: if the devs wanted this, it would hace happened.

Are you even considering that your posts are taking up the server hosting space that XDA people and donators are paying for, just to say +1 to an useless statement.
Im not trying to sound like an a**hole, but seriously.
The demand isn't big enough for an undervolt kernel.

I don't think you understand.
The developers have looked at this thread and haven't done anything yet.
Bumping it is useless.
Firstly, let me be a dickhead like you for a second. "Look at the kernels for the SGS, if developpers wanted to do real custom Kernels for NS that would have already happened." How the heck is that constructive? Maybe we just want the opinion of a kernel devs to enlighten us about the reasons.

Secondly, it's not like this section is overcrowded with threads.

Thirdly, if we do bump this thread for bad reasons, yours are even worse. There is nothing positive in your sayings and, honestly, we don't care for haters like you. We try to spread love. And it's not like we bump this everyday, not even every week. So please, just go play elsewhere...

The one thing that keeps me from even trying this is that I haven't determined if it's more analogous to a gun and you shooting yourself with it or closer to Phillips' Heartstart home defibrillator, saving a loved one.

If nothing else, bumping this thread allowed me to see a few more people ask for a UV kernel.

I'll make another big bore, it's more effen fun that way. But nothing keeps me from going and making a boring all stock UV kernel but it being a kernel I don't want to run. I run the kernels I make. I ran big bore surprisingly long, was just too much fun to switch.

"big bore" just meant despite being 1ghz, the higher bus speeds up gpu.
so it was a UVoc kernel.

Which brings me to my next question.

I may never try this patch (probably will, to curious a person not to), see beginning of this post, in the time being what would be most popular?

100-1000, just UV

Or 100-1200 where 100-1000 is UV/stock? With as munch punch as 1200 can have in that? (that would be UVOC)

A 1400 with bottom end UV? (that would be uvOC)

Or the previously mentioned UVoc "big bore"

To not further hijack his thread, reply to this in the honity kernel thread.

Side note, anytime someone starts with "not to be a *" they know exactly how they come across but chose not change what they say regardless.

Thanks for bumping this thread, I'm old and need my daily Vitamin B(ump)

Not being a dumbass or idiot, just asking your personal opinion, do you think that we may see a kernel implement this patch eventually? Not asking "OMG MAKE ME 1 NOW!!!!". Just wondering if you think that this may ever happens. Thanks for the awesome works.

I just got my Nexus S today after having two Samsung Galaxy S phones (Vibrant and Captivate)... I think you'll start to see a lot more interest in an UV/OC kernel, since they were very popular amongst SGS users.

I, for one, went immediately looking for such a kernel when I began my Nexus S readings today!

UV has a huge impact on battery life (that I've found)

imo it is not needed. this is my phone after a moderate to heavy usage and I still have 50% battery left...

So, I see some kernels with UV support here.
Good. I've updated Voltage Control so it might work better with Nexus S, please report :p

It doesn't support Netarchy's kernel, which I think is the only kernel that implements user controllable voltages/frequency.

Here's the link to his thread, maybe there is some info in there that will shed some light on why it doesn't work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936219

The sysinterface is different.
Maybe we can get some cooperation with author :) Will try to contact him.

If there is only a demand for bringing VC to Nexus S I will release a special "Nexus S only" version, maybe the sysinterface is better than the acrobatics we do on SGS ;p

First off thanks for all the great work, UV has really come to life with the Nexus S with many kernels supporting it! (lol at the guys arguing a few posts above saying it won't be supported)

I dunno if you've seen but we even have an app for netarchy kernels here, which is getting sexier with every update.

Anyway just wanted to say thanks, it's work like this which makes me glad i have an android :)
