I have just gone back to the 600mhz stock one too bit paranoid about it too.

It is not that I want to spoil anybodies fun, but the audience in these forums is not composed of only people with 10+ years of Linux experience, and fond memories of i486 overclocking.

So when anyone posts guidance like in this thread, please consider twice what you are doing.

Now two days with @900Mhz and no problems what so ever. Even tried with @1000Mhz and that was also working but I didn't notice any performance difference compared to @900Mhz so I reverted back to that.

Question to the Overclocker's community:

what is your experience with any OC kernel + "smartreflex enabled"?
is it working fine somewhere?

I got my N900 OC'ed to 900Mhz, stock DSP. Enabled SmartReflex through /etc/pmconfig then rebooted, twice. No problems so far (48 hours). Didn't decrease max frequency to 825Mhz, either, which is good.

Edit: That's weird. I just rebooted again, and now I get stuck at the Nokia logo. I guess SmartReflex doesn't really like 900Mhz. Heh.

Also, take note: I'm actually waiting for this device to fry (although I hope it won't), since I'm in a tropical country where it can easily hit >35C midday, at least recently. I basically ignored Lehto's warning about not going beyond 800Mhz on warmer climate. :P

How's the batterylife?

will this give me much of a battery boost?

Not necessarily. It primarily depends on your usage pattern, going ping-pong between 125 and 500 in certain cases can be worse than a steady 250 (the same goes for performance lag).

Hard to say since I've used the phone like a madman after overclocking it :D
Yesterday it last 14 hours under heavy usage and that's no different than it was before.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

E: Package mp-fremantle-generic-pr has no installation candidate

thanks craig

Your firmware version is not "generic"

In my case, I has to use "mp-fremantle-003-pr"

You will find out by typing the following.....

dpkg -l | grep mp-fremantle

Using 900mhz-stock DSP and recording a few video clips... So far no difference,
frames still dropping and occasional stutter.

Not sure why I thought it would improve that particular area in performance terms.
