a max of 850 would be awesome.

like if would try to use this setting:
sudo kernel-config load lv
sudo kernel-config limits 250 805
sudo kernel-config save lv8
sudo kernel-config load lv8
sudo kernel-config default lv8

how do i start with it?
where do i get the LV kernel?

ive been trying to read on with threads discussing oc but i damn it, im a nooby with this thing.
Overclocking can be very simple. Or it can get pretty complicated. For you and other n00bs who may be reading this, I'll lay out the basics again in this thread, and in the simplest terms I can. Just follow these steps:

1. Using the App Manager, install these packages:

rootsh
Enhanced Linux kernel for power users
Enhanced Linux kernel for power users (settings)

The Enhanced kernel will allow you to set various clock speeds, voltage profiles (like 'ideal' 'ulv' or 'lv') and many other parameters.

2. The phone will need to reboot to install the new kernel. It should restart perfectly normally.

3. Open the terminal app and type:

sudo gainroot

Hit enter. The prompt will change from '$' to '#' meaning you now have root (administrator) privileges, so be careful!

4. Type this command:

kernel-config limits 250 750

You should get a confirmation that the specified setup has been loaded. Close the terminal.

5. Congratulations! You have just overclocked from 600Mhz to 750Mhz!

If you have no problems running at 750Mhz, you can re-run the kernel-config command and increase speed as to much as 1.15Ghz, but some units will not tolerate max speeds. To stay on the safe side, I'd recommend a max of around 850Mhz.

6. To set lower voltages type (for example):

kernel-config load ideal

The 'ideal' profile is fairly severe. If you have problems with videos or anything, try loading a more conservative profile like 'lv'.

7. To save your entire configuration so it can be reloaded with a single command, type:

kernel-config save <name>

You can then reload your saved configuration with:

kernel-config load <name>

If you reboot the phone, as a safety feature it will by default return to the standard 600Mhz and voltages, etc. You need to re-run the kernel-config command to overclock again.

8. I do not recommend using the command:

kernel-config default <name>

This makes you custom configuration the default settings, even after a reboot. Sounds good...but if your phone becomes unstable and keeps rebooting, it will keep loading an unstable configuration. Better to run a command or two after a reboot or setup Queen Bee or something to make loading configurations even easier.

I actually run my phone with a totally stock configuration except for a 850Mhz overclock. But as I said, many other options besides clock speed and voltage can be specified using Titan's enhanced kernel. For more details check these out:
