v40 seems fine, no instabilities on ULV 250 - 1000, just been playing angry birds for about an hour straight, absolutely fine.

INSTALL STEPS

0. Download the attachment posted at beginning of that post and extract its contents. Then copy the TXT files into any folder in N900. (just create a folder called 'Beecon Exports' or something)
1. Install rootsh (latest version will do)
2. Install QBW (latest version is 1.9.7 or something)
3. Create a new QBW widget on the desktop
4. Go to settings of that widget (tool icon)
5. click advanced
6. click yes
7. scroll way down
8. click Import File to Buffer
9. Select the txt file you want to enable (eg. stock)
10. click Import Buffer to Beecon
11. done. now exit out and click Save.
12. Now go back to settings of that widget called STOCK
13. click Edit Cmd
14. replace "rootsh" with "sudo" then click save.
15. click save
16. Now you have a STOCK widget.

Do the same for ideal.txt and ideal_1000
Do the same up to step 11 for other non OC widgets.

Can some give me a txt file for max 850 please, (I am unsure how to change the 1000 to 850)

That way I can click on the stock button to get original settings, or my 850 button to OC

Thanks

v40 does add some headers in order to build fcam drivers also against Titan's kernel... that's it - nothing you have to care about but the fcam developers.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
hi!

i just wanna ask about the auto-load of settings of kernel on boot.

so if i

Code:

/usr/sbin/kernel-config default ideal
the IDEAL settings will load on boot,

now, how will i revert it back to default?

is;

Code:

/usr/sbin/kernel-config default default
okay?

thanks

Strange - since I installed v40 and re-booted (even multiple times) my accelerometer does not work anymore (turning the phone to get the phone modem, eyes widget, etc.).
Can someone confirm this? Thanks.

that is actually a bug in kernel power, not in multiboot.

power39 was suppose to add support for multiboot by introducing the kernel-power-bootimg package, which replaces kernel-power.
however, kernel-power settings still depends on kernel-power, meaning you cant install it with kernel-power-bootimg!!!

nothing we can do in multiboot to fix that


call to you titan !! :)

That method is depreciated.
To set ideal as default you do the following in x-term:
Code:

root
Code:

kernel-config default ideal
You can replace ideal with the name of your chosen config.

If you want to return to stock, do the following:
Code:

root
Code:

kernel-config default default
Hope that helps

Does anybody know of any issue where wifi switcher causes the phone to reset? This even happens without overclocking/undervolting, just by using this kernel.
Yesterday I managed to use wifi switcher, today the phone restarts when activating it.

Hi pefur - after one day using wifi switcher (oc with v40; ideal; 900) no restart so far; maybe you have some other apps installed causing this problem in combination with titan's kernel... good luck anyway.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
hello

Thanks for all the information on this page, most usefull,

I have over clocked to 850 (using the 3 lines in x term) all works just fine and have added QB and the stock button to go back to 600 just in case

I would like to add a ideal button as well but not at 1000 but at 850

If i understand rightly I can do :

1. Launch xterminal
2. Sudo gainroot
3. kernel-config load lv
4. kernel-config limits 250 850
5. kernel-config save ideal_850

Then in snippet _ideal_1000 I just rename load ideal_1000 to load ideal_850 (ligne 27)

Is this all Ok before I try it ?

I may of missed something completely here as a noob to Linux, so please bare with me

many thanks

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
Hi all, i have a couple of questions.

I install the power kernel settings, reboot and open xterminal, type sudo gainroot, then type kernel-config show, and gives me this error: "this kernel version 2.6.20-omap1 is not supported. Please make sure that kernel-power is installed and running. If you have just installed the kernel, you need to shutdown an boot to active it"

How i boot and activate it?

I have rebooted my n900, then opened xterminal and follow the lines in the tutorial several times. I have reinstalled the power kernel settings and rebooted again, but xterminal is still showing the same error message every time.... i searched and didn't find a solution, so please help.

Many Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
P.D. i have installed multiboot and nitdroid, and the sock kernel

James_Littler 2010-08-12 19:39

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
Install kernel power.

You have to have kernel power and kernel power settings installed, 2 separate packages.

kishan 2010-08-12 19:47

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
I have installed via xterm this packages:kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo40_armel.deb, kernel-power-flasher_2-6-28-maemo40_armel.deb, kernel-power-modules_2.6.28-maemo40_armel.deb and kernel-power-settings_0.11_armel.deb and other time via application manager

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
I had same problem , had titan v37 and nitroid flying world / multiboot v2.5 , all worked fine until i upgraded to titan v40 , exactly same errors as kishan regardless of installing from xterm or ham , reinstall etc etc , i downgraded back to titan v37 and all is working again , unlucky v40 gives errors to some but is because it seems nitroid/multiboot wont work with v40 wait for new versions i reckon though if anyone kmows solution please share :)

James_Littler 2010-08-12 20:04

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
You don't need the flasher to OC using Titans kernel.

Can I suggest that you read through the wiki on over clocking before you actually do anything, everything is explained in there.

If you have kernel for power users and kernel for power users settings installed and your phone has been rebooted, you can do the following in the terminal (provided you have rootsh installed) :
Code:

root
Code:

kernel-config load lv
You have now successfully overclocked your phone.

To make it permanent
Code:

kernel-config default lv
You can change the min/maximum frequencies by doing the following:
Code:

kernel-config limits 250 1000
Where 250 is the minimum frequency and 1000 is the maximum frequency.

To save this new config:
Code:

kernel-config save myconfig
Where myconfig is the name or path of the configuration file to be created

You can then make this the default by using the code above.

Have fun.

You might want to look at 'Transition Control' in the repos, it makes such a difference to the speed of the UI.

Hey there, I have had no problems with accelerometer/autorotation and i am running v40.

In fact, my accelerometer is annoying me in that it goes portrait whenever i vaguely turn my N900 :rolleyes:

install cpufrequi as it allows the user to easily move between cpu speeds, at the click of a button you can move from 600mhx up to 1ghz no code required.

kishan 2010-08-12 21:31

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
I can't do this, i install again and again kernel-power and kernel-power-settings, rebooted and try the next steps on x terminal:

sudo gainroot
kernel-config load ideal

gives the error "this kernel version 2.6.28-omap1 is not supported. Please make sure that kernel-power is installed and running......"


so, it doesn't work for me, i have read all the tutorials and instructions and don't find the way to make it work, and i don't know how to solve it....

heeeeelp :p

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
One thing more, i don't know if it is because of that:

i did it:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel-power kernel-power-flasher

then it flash in 3,47 s, gives the message SIGTERM received
and this:
"Errors were encountered while processing:
account-plugin-salut
telepahy-extras
account-plugin-salut-dbg
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"

maybe the problem is because of that...i really don't know....

Hi guys and gals!

I already asked this question once but I didn't catch an answer so here I go again:

My problem is that whern running in overclocked mode (Titan's kernel) I can't play any videos. I have to get back to stock speed and videos work again. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution for this?

Thanks.

James_Littler 2010-08-13 11:38

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
That'll be to do with under-volting it rather than overclocking, and yes, I get this too sometimes.

Do this in terminal;
Code:

root
Code:

kernel-config load default
Code:

kernel-config limits 250 1000
Where 250 is min freq and 1000 is max freq (change as you see fit)

Test that out, if videos work again and your happy with everything:
Code:

kernel-config save myconfig
Saves your config file as 'myconfig', you can specify a path if you wish.

Code:

kernel-config default myconfig
Loads 'myconfig' as default.

Is there a command to load the stock kernel?

i personally wouldnt do that! aren't you now massively over volting? Correct me if im wrong, but using stock voltages and over clocking will burn out your cpu eventually?!

Try loading lv settings. ulv and ideal didnt work for me either.

Its to do with the DSP, well in my case it was, and when the cpu was downclocking it caused a crash. You can manually fiddle with the settings but i found lv to be perfect at 1Ghz

some settings have too low voltages, which result to your problem, and for which is Normal, try switching to LV or higher voltage settings.

No, that would be running stock voltages, i.e. not undervolting or overvolting.

Those frequencies arent enabled, so using the stock kernel you cant go over 600mhz.

Don't forget that 'default' under titans kernel isn't the nokia default kernel as overclocking is possible, it just uses nokia default freqs and voltages, over 600mhz it just locks to 60, so at 1Ghz on ideal you are giving your processor just as much power as at 600mhz nokia stock.

You probably have just as much chance frying your processor using the Nokia default kernel.

ahhhh cool. cheers, cleared that up in my head now!

so just all freqs over 600 on default will lock at 60. i understand now!
