Installation is very simple: install the package kernel-flasher-maemo (section system in HAM), shutdown and cold boot. There's no need for reflashing etc.

The default limit is at stable 600MHz. This is the same setting as the stock kernel and is safe.

This kernel makes it possible dynamically change the maximum frequency up to 1.2GHz (supported frequencies are 250,500,550,600,700,750,800,850,900,950,1000,1100, 1200MHz)
Warning: Overclocking may damage your device and is at your own risk!
You can manually increase the limit until your device fries using, e.g. for 600MHz
Code:
sudo gainroot
echo 600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
To permanently fix the limit edit /etc/pmconfig.
Unlike the other kernels in this thread it can also more of use the intermediate frequencies which might be the reason why it is stable for me at 1GHz.

Apart from overclocking, this kernel has a lot of other features
(2.6.28.10, PR1.2 patches etc) see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43420
It also retains the version info in Settings -> Product info.
If it works well for you, please vote at
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....6.28-maemo19/

PS: 125MHz is deliberately not included, see http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=141

Good luck!

Just installed your experimental 125-1200 kernel, works great, thx! Im gonna write a simple script setting the upscale and downscale freq, after that Ill upload it.
