Oh dear, that warning in the first post is nowhere big enough for this. You forgot spontaneous reboots, system hangs and the delightful HWSync stuff that makes the UI freeze, but the screen still clicks and from which powering down upsets /opt.
While true that most of us have the mods, remember that we did it one by one and went around most of them. Some have HWSync issues, others don't clock well, others have "all telephony" issues, and each has gone around the problem. Batching them all together is the best way to drop the thing, save for rm -rf.
Oh well, I guess a big red warning will have to do.
first 300% not works on everything
i have open office launches in extactly 25 seconds
lxde takes exactly 27 to launch
after all the tweaks
Hi. Sorry, I made a mistake. Without OCing, LXDE takes about 35 seconds to fire up. Not 60 seconds. So the improvement is not quite as dramatic (30% improvement). Opening up writer took about 45 seconds so there is a 80% improvement here. Not enough for me to risk it on my N900. However, if I had a second one...
EDIT: Corrected calculation. The improvement for launching OO is better than I thought. OCing is becoming more tempting! Percentage
improvements corrected.
Not enough for me to risk it on my N900. However, if I had a second one...
Not sure what you are risking. (well, I know but I don't think it's a risk)
There certainly is no danger in overclocking. (or at least trying it out)
I uninstalled LXDE a while back so can't test on mine unfortunately.
I simply hit the CPU to 850 MHz in a regular use (following jakiman's instructions), on a few occasions boost it upto 1Ghz. Both works without almost an issue for about a year.
Any noticeable advice from the first page posting for the 850 and up overclockers?
What I do normally:
1. Overclock. It noticeably makes multitasking more responsive.
2. HWSync to 1 (if you are lucky enough to get it to work) Makes transitions look much smoother.
3. Use faster transition. (such as from Theme Customizer)
4. Use a stock theme. Dunno. It just feels smoother. Weird but it does.
5. Use shortcutd/camkeyd to multitask via camera key. (best feature imo)
I don't do too much else although I've tried many other tweaks. =P
Hi. Sorry, I made a mistake. Without OCing, LXDE takes about 35 seconds to fire up. Not 60 seconds. So the improvement is not quite as dramatic (140% improvement). Opening up writer took about 45 seconds so there is a 166% improvement here. Not enough for me to risk it on my N900. However, if I had a second one...
If something used to take 60 seconds and now takes 30, that's an 100 percent improvement in speed?
