Making about the same I ended up reflashing my device.. And losing everything... (the second part was becouse of my stupidity of having backup one month old

After reflashing and trying again I discovered that my phone cannot run at 850Mhz so losing my guarantee for nothing sux

Why exactly can't it run at 850? Is it unstable at that speed?

The sounds are distorted like theres +200% volume, one third of the photos cannot be opened others are messed up with green/ blue lines, some movies cannot open, sometimes I cannot even open the player..

Didnt test much more becouse its bad enough to make it unusable and I had much more problems before reflashing device...
(desktop messed up, icons not working, problems with booting, restaring - but many of them were probably becouse of the messed up kernel due to fcam drivers and maybe something other - I had much problem with installing power kernel, and not the overclocked unstableness)

BTW. unstableness - nice word

Apple did always took jailbroken iPhones into their support - without making a big PR thing out of it. And - since today they are even "forced" to - have a look: http://www.macrumors.com/2010/07/26/...-jailbreaking/
From my point of view - the comparsion between a claimed as "closed infra and be happy" versus "we are open source" doesn't fit anyway...

Hey guys. I'm really looking forward to this. I only shoot RAW on my regular camera so am looking forward to the flexibility of having RAW on the N900. I can't imaging going back to the stock kernel at this point so I'm going to wait until that's resolved.

So for regular and low light photos and etc there's RAW, but what about HDR? I see that it does blending in-camera. Does it spit out two or three RAW files that I can then stitch together later if I had to?

Also, since fCam is a set of drivers, does that means apps like BlessN900 would use it (assuming they want) to one day?

Err I don't think that ruling forces them to support it. It just blocks them from saying circumventing the iPhone by jailbreaking is not a violation of the DMCA.

In fact Apple has even indicated that they are going further against jailbroken iPhones by potentially refusing support. Now how you might ask considering any user can just reset the iPhone back to normal?

Speculation says that either there will be software residue from a jailbroken iPhone left over or the next time it's plugged into iTunes it'll call back home to Apple to check.

Someone will find a way to bypass that also. (or be implemented within the jailbreak)

The HDR mode in fCamera will spit out 2/3 (or more) RAW files. The separate HDR program spits out a single blended file.

That's my understanding, yes - I've not looked at the code/API though.

Remove BlessN900
Close App Manager
Open Xterminal and type the following;

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

This should return SIGTERM received and Image flashed successfully messages. If this is the case continue with

Code:

apt-get remove -y kernel-power kernel-power-modules

This reverts you back to the stock kernel.

Reboot the phone and then again open terminal. Type the following;

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install fcamera

That will then install fCamera (funnily enough). Now you can redownload and install te Power Kernel but bear in mind that you will have to also download titans fcam drivers to your device. If you download it to MyDocs then you should run the following;

Code:

sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs
dpkg -i fcam-drivers_1.0.5-1_armel.deb

This is your kernel reverted to stock, fcam installed, power kernel re-installed and fcam drivers modified by titan also installed. Had to do myself earlier. Fun and games.

i tried to reinstall the kernel flasher but somehow it cant and say the package cannot be downloaded..

and i'm connected to the internet

Shouldn't the Titans fcam-driver be installed before f-camera?
