I like the idea of 500 Mhz idle with lowest possible voltage
Would really love to test it for myself.

stock settings are: 1E, 26, 30. 36
currently I have working: 14, 14, 1E, 21
This means I'm running 500 MHz at the voltage stock uses for Idle!

I also did
Code:
echo 500000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
to lock min to 500MHz and watch the current with
Code:
cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/current_now
Yeah I've been using the same 1E flag for my 500mhz mode for a while now without any problem at all. The CPU seems to operate with very low voltages without any problem at all.

Hi, Everyone.

I got a problem after restore my N900 setting. SystemLanguage changed to Africa language something......... Language and regional can't load with this message pop out -----> memr_ni_application_closed_no_resources..

Please help !!!

so far [500,850] with XLV works flawlessly.
after phone calls I have to
echo 500000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
but everything else (phone calls, videos, music) works fine.
Haven't tested GPS or bluetooth yet.

There seems to be a cosmetic bug in titan's XLV kernels, it reports itself as ULV kernel, not XLV kernel :-(

Linux Nokia-N900-42-11 2.6.28.10maemo-ulv-omap1 #6 PREEMPT Sun Apr 11 17:41:17 CEST 2010 armv7l unknown

Could someone confirm this, or did I just goof up my flashing?

Yup, I have flashed your ultra low voltage firmware as well and I agree that my first impressions are that [500,850] is the way forward. Will see how it performs battery life vise but the initial results are very encouraging. CPU is in idle for much longer now.

Lehto, presumably your hard coded kernel doesn't revert back to 250MHz after each call?

yes, correct and about to be fixed.
I'm also uploading an "ideal" kernel with the same XLV voltages but 500 as minimum
and [500,850] as defaults.

Running XLV 500-850 as adviced.
GPS by Sygic is OK
BT is OK both receiving and transmitting files.

Very good work

I don't understand this. Isn't clock speed outside the kernel in your case, to be set in /etc/pmconfig? So what are you changing in Kernel for that? Are you changing the 500 voltage to <idle?
