Here is my last desktop configuration, related with OC.


My configuration Kernel settings are:
-Maemo25
-Default ideal kernel

My Queens Command Widget functions:

-Reset Min: After a call, Min. Freq. goes to 250 Mhz. With this it scales Min. Freq. back to 500 Mhz.
-Freqs. : It shows the Min. Freq. and Max. Freq. that are applyed on the momment. EDIT: I'll add "Current_Freq"
-850 Mhz: It scales Max. Freq. to 850 Mhz
-900 Mhz: it scales Max. Freq. to 900 Mhz
-1000 Mhz: it scales Max. Freq. to 1000 Mhz.
-Temp: it shows current CPU temp
-Battery: it shows current % battery
-Avoid Freqs: it apply\shows the avoid freqs i choose, so i'm only running 500 Mhz and 850 Mhz Freqs.
-Time In State - Time in State CPU usage info

I'll accept more ideas, if you want i can share my file with icons\config, just PM.

Putting xlv, ulv, lv instead of ideal doesn't seem to change anything at all.
I successfully switched between ideal and xlv configuration. I don't use scripts, I just entered commands mentioned in Overclocking wiki and then rebooted the phone.

I would really appreciate any help
Have you tried in you own language? In my case i am a swede. I have the swedish localisation setup. So when the Y/n question comes i write "j" as in "ja" which means yes in swedish and it continues to install the program.

If you use commands, you dont need to reboot the phone.

I rebooted because I didn't see that changes were applied. I know that they should after I executed:
4) and to immediately apply it
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/kernel-load
but they didn't. So, I suggested to Thai that he try to reboot the phone.

Are you sure notepad transfered/copied the script correctly? Does
Code:
chmod +x overclock.sh
change anything?

I've got everything up and running, but nothing seems to be happening? My Beecon scripts copied from Jakiman (thanks again) don't seem to be doing anything, even the default script. The command for the ideal button is /usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal | sudo gainroot which doesn't do anything when I save/run it. What could be wrong?

The only thing that seems to work is opening x terminal. From there, I put in

sudo gainroot
/usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal


default works too.

Putting xlv, ulv, lv instead of ideal doesn't seem to change anything at all.

Also, with my Beecon, when I put the command echo "echo 1150000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" | sudo gainroot in, it works.
What exactly are you expecting?
Regarding xlv, ulv, lv: These files are just changing the voltages not the frequencies by default to get better battery stamina.
The installed kernel-power comes with ideal as preset, so changing to ideal will you get no changes what so ever.
Get some of those scripts from the wiki to make changes visible.

Now I know why it didn't applied, because I executed command as a root. As a root I should entered just:
Code:
/usr/sbin/kernel-load

For me, these files also change the frequencies.

many many thanks titan for all your help its so much appreciated

turns out was a simple error on my part caused 100% of the problem...

Code:
ln -s /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/my-default /etc/xlv/kernel-power


should have been

Code:
ln -s /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/xlv /etc/default/kernel-power
had specified the xlv as file instead of etc ! . feel bit silly really such a stupid mistake ! now back to v25 and able to get desired results

thanks titan your work here has made so much improvement to our n900's and your replies to questions are much appreciated
