Thanks.

wget http://maemory.com/N900/overclock/generic/kernel-flasher-maemo_2.6.28-maemo21_armel.deb
online tweaking of voltages is done with
Code:
# cat /sys/power/sr_vdd1_opps_vsel
30 30 38 48 54 48 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 67 72
echo "30 30 38 48 54 48 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 67 72" > /sys/power/sr_vdd1_opps_vsel
The meaning of the voltages (first column):
Code:
stock/normal kernel
30 = 0x1e = 0.975V x 0 MHz = 0
30 = 0x1e = 0.975V x 125 MHz = 119
38 = 0x26 = 1.075V x 250 MHz = 289
48 = 0x30 = 1.200V x 500 MHz = 720
54 = 0x36 = 1.275V x 550 MHz = 894
60 = 0x3c = 1.350V x 600 MHz = 1094
60 = 0x3c = 1.350V x 720 MHz = 1312
60 = 0x3c = 1.350V x 750 MHz = 1367
60 = 0x3c = 1.350V x 810 MHz = 1476
60 = 0x3c = 1.350V x 850 MHz = 1549
60 = 0x3c = 1.350V x 900 MHz = 1640
60 = 0x3c = 1.350V x 950 MHz = 1731
XLV kernel:
30 = 0x1e = 0.975V x 0 MHz = 0
20 = 0x14 = 0.850V x 125 MHz = 90
30 = 0x1e = 0.975V x 250 MHz = 238
33 = 0x21 = 1.012V x 500 MHz = 513
38 = 0x26 = 1.075V x 550 MHz = 636
38 = 0x26 = 1.075V x 600 MHz = 693
45 = 0x2d = 1.163V x 700 MHz = 946
45 = 0x2d = 1.163V x 750 MHz = 1014
48 = 0x30 = 1.200V x 810 MHz = 1166
48 = 0x30 = 1.200V x 850 MHz = 1224
54 = 0x36 = 1.275V x 900 MHz = 1463
54 = 0x36 = 1.275V x 950 MHz = 1544
60 = 0x3c = 1.350V x 1000 MHz = 1823
67 = 0x43 = 1.438V x 1100 MHz = 2273
72 = 0x48 = 1.500V x 1150 MHz = 2588
I have verified that the customized voltages are actually used.
feel free to play with it.
I'm now uploading it to extras-devel.

XLV is: "30 20 30 33 38 38 45 45 48 48 54 54 60 67 72"
ideal: 30 30 30 30 33 38 45 45 48 48 54 54 60 67 72 (first three ignored)
ULV: 25 25 25 33 38 38 45 45 48 48 54 54 60 67 72
LV: 30 30 38 48 48 54 54 54 54 54 54 54 60 67 72
is the uploaded kernel flasher same as the xlv kernel??

if i have updated the one from app manager update will it overide the xlv kernel??

now it is updated and have set it to run at 500-900.
pmconfig 499000 - 899000
am i doing this correct?

1st of all TItan kadus for your hard work!
fell free to open a donation account... you're working hard and should be paid for it! with your help our n900 rocks!

anyway... I'm using titan's ideal xlv kernel with smartflex enabled
and apparently smartflex works great.... if my battery is over 40%... when it reaches ~39% my n900 reboots....

very strange... anyone encounter that?

i'm thinking of a script that automatically enables \ disables smartflex depending on the battery.... will give it a go....

After one day using titans xlv kernel i dont have any problems to report. Movies are running extra smooth aswell are the aps. I noticed amazing speed improvement on easy debian. Battery consumption has not increased. cpufreq-info output ->

/home/user # cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 006: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: omap
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 0.00 ms.

hardware limits: 125 MHz - 1.20 GHz

available frequency steps: 1.20 GHz, 1.10 GHz, 1000 MHz, 950 MHz, 900 MHz, 850 MHz, 810 MHz, 750 MHz, 700 MHz, 600 MHz, 550 MHz, 500 MHz, 250 MHz, 125 MHz

available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, powersave, userspace
current policy: frequency should be within 125 MHz and 800 MHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use within this range.
current CPU frequency is 810 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
cpufreq stats:
1.20 GHz:0,00%,

The easy explanation...

"apt-get remove" will only remove the application. The "dpkg --purge" or "dpkg -P" (as i prefer) will remove the configuration too.

Have you enabled the extras-devel repository? http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel

It says:
clocks_off_while_idle 1
voltage_off_while_idle 1

But i have:
clocks_off_while_idle 0
voltage_off_while_idle 0

Any ideia because of what? Anyone have it?
What are your\correct values for it?

Please Anyone can help me?

HAM probably did not upgraded all packages.
apt-get upgrade should be safer.
I suggest to reset pmconfig to defaults before installing a new kernel.
