I was wondering if we can manipulate the cpu in any way in the build.prop? My MTK6577 seems to idle at 1Ghz continuously and only on ocassion after a reboot will it go to 250Mhz. It seems to not use any frequency in between, but rather jumping from 250mhz to 1ghz. Now it's stuck at 1Ghz and never changes to any other frequency no matter what governor I use. It appears to be using the "hybrid" governor.
I know no one has ever even tried it but I want to compile my own kernel for the MTK6577 for up to 1.6Ghz and Extensive mods to the governor to get way better battery life. I mean it's a Cortex A9 Dual core @ 1Ghz and it has a 3600mah battery and a 5.7" 720p AMOLED screen.
What can we do and can you send me in the right direction on as to what I will need to begin compiling my kernel? Do I need the kernel source or can I extract the kernel from my current rom, Modify it then recompile and flash?
Thanks
