I had a few accessible DCEWidgets on one of my desktops so i can just tap on one to change the CPU clock and voltage. One is loading the ideal kernel to overclock, one is to underclock (when just playing music), one is to maximum overclock (1.1GHz) and the other is loading the default clock speed (600MHz).

When taking pictures or video recording, overclocked kernels tend to produce the error Operation failed on FCAM and the built in camera app. (not 100% sure but it does in mine)

Whenever i record a video, i tap on the widget that loads the default speed clock and i could record for more than 10 minutes. when it is ovrclocked though, 1 minute into the recordng and it stops with the operation failed error...
I just overclocked my n900 yesterday and now I have this operation failed problem. I know it was related to my over clocking but is there any other fix or should I just return my phone to the normal speeds?

I don't want to have to change any settings everytime I attempt to use he camera and would rather have it quick and easy.
