Hi Jakiman,

I will start with I am an absolute newbie in this N900 and kernel business.

I updated and overclocked my N900 but now I have lost the information on the about page and it doesn't give the software version either.

I was wondering if there is a way to go back to my regular software.

Thanks,
Parmjit Singh

Don't mean to be an a**, but you REALLY should have read the docs before using a modded kernel. You still can, you know.

That being said, there's an uninstall link in the menu. Also, there are extensive instructions in the wiki about reflashing.

Also, the version is no longer applicable, since that's Nokia's version number, and it's no longer Nokia's build.

Good luck.

Can't some MODERATOR or other good person find a way to put links to the Overclocking section of the Wiki and the Jakiman overclocking document up there instead of that useless poll? It would be a boon to everyone. I certainly have no idea how to do it.

Im using Titan's kernel. Overcloked to 500 1000 and very happy with it and theres no way im going back .
But have some question if anybody could help me with that.
When its run on 500 1000 i notes today that after a while min. frequency going down to 125. Wonder why its happening. And another thing today for the first time my CPU was all the way up on 100% for about 20 minutes straight and i didn't use any application but there wasn't much of a overheating. intellisyncd was causing problems. So i reset limits again to 500 1000 so i guess after that everything went back to normal.

If you like Queen Beecon Widget please vote for it in current Maemo Coding Competition in this thread
Ciao and thank you, No!No!No!Yes!
Voted for you, but I think you should really start a new topic to call for voting, as everybody on earth using N900 should support you. ^^

Just an observation.
I find it odd that when I use the Power Kernel, no matter what template I use, ideal, xlv etc. Anything over 850mhz crashes and is unstable. When I load the zImage-930mhz-500dsp kernel, not a drama, stable and using it for over a week with not a glitch. Wonder what the differences are that is making one more stable than the other?

maybe every device is unique, what works for others may not work for other people.

mine is stable up to 1.15GHz (kernel-power) playing games via emulators and using the MM10!

That is fair enough, understand and accept that. My first N900 was better than this one, more stable, faster etc.
The point I am getting at, if both a true 930mhz OC and 850mhz OC Power Kernel. 900mhz is 900mhz, so whats the differences between the two that makes one stable and the other not, the power?
What ever the difference is obviously a plus.

that's a replacement? micro USB Fail?

yeah, well mine was not stable @ 800mhz using the zimage kernel configuration. so i had to switch to kernel-power.

EDIT: have you tried using avoid freqs in kernel-power? some devices got stable in performing the command and saving it as their personal config.
