Actually, I'm not the first one to do this. It's been done dozens of times before, and quite frankly, to higher levels. So, why do I make my own kernel overclocked? Well, I do think there is one difference in my kernel overclocking than the others. I don't increase the …

CPU and GPU voltage control are back! To God be the glory!

Since moving to Android Nougat, I have not been able to make GPU and CPU voltage control work for the Samsung Galaxy S4, but that changed today. You can see the commit here:

While building AOKP 7.1.2 for the kltevwz (the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5), I ran into this error:
