My AWESOME website.
*** Site now optimized for iPad ** <--- that just made my day

If you can..and only if you can...do it to 900 Mhz kernel to, since i think its used by many of us (800 Mhz too i know..)

I just had to make one call to my oc'ed n900. Didn't even answer it(so rude)
Result:
> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
600000
But according to Conky it's now reaching max 750 Mhz, my second highest speed.

This are my frequencies.
125/250/500/750/875

Just created a nice desktop shortcut and script to place a button on desktop to easily switch between 900 and stock if anyone is interested. Little bit risky though as had to edit sudoers file to allow all with no password.

Now that I wrote that, it really doesn't make sense, since even on oc'd kernels the value decreases back to 600...

Thanks again for the kernels, Lehto and Titan.
That sounds right but im running 900mhz and when i make a call it goes to 900 but after 5 secs it goes down to 250 and stays there.

LEHTO YOU ARE THE MAN !!!!!!!!! CHEERS AGAIN.

Could it be that the N900 running with an OC kernel became self-aware.. In this state it realizes its owner is trying to hurt it (or maybe just dislikes the company) and shuts down to the oblivious 600 MHz to save itself.
